Parade The Big Feature.

Naturally the parade will be one
day ceremonies with the inaugural
ball at night as second In Importance
on the entertainment program. Here
too will be displayed the determine
ton of the committee to avoid any
appearance OF discrimination and the
invitation that has been spread broad
cast throughout the State includes at
tendance at the grand ball. The fact
that a majority of the visitors will re-
main over night and attend the ball is
giving the committee some concern
and the place for holding IL has not yet
been decided on. OF course a majority
OF the visitors simply will attend as
sightseers but there will be so many
persons dancing that IL will require a
floor much larger than has been avail
able heretofore.
Robert A. Brawner. chief marshal
Of the parade and the members OF the
Parade Committee have formulated
plans for the inaugural procession
which will start from the historic
Capital Hotel and wend its way
through the business section and
across into the residence district in
South Frankfort, enroute to the new
Capitol. Chief Marshal Brawner has
designated as al les men familiar with
the duties Of that office and in a ma
jority OF cases trained in the military
maneuvers.

Joseph S. Fish Now
a Full-Fledged Lawyer

Wnen the graduates or the
University of Utah Ill e t with
their friends in the Gymnasium
Building at t h e University OF
Utah, on June 2, 1915, to receive
their diplomas, Joseph S. Fish,
a we'll known former resident of
Snowflake, Arizona, received a
large piece of white sheep skin,
the inscription upon which con-
ferred upon him the degree of
Bachelor of Laws. There were
about two hundred graduates
from all the departments of the
University, but only two persons
graduated from the law depart
ment, namely, Noel Pratt, a
grandson of the noted Farley P.
Pratt, and our own Joseph S..
Fish.
Our towns people will remem-
Der that Mr.. Fish graduated from
the Snowflake Academy some
years ago. Soon after finishing
his work at the Academy he took
up his studies at the University
of Chicago. Later he studied
two years at the University of
Utah. Then he returned to
Navajo county, Arizona, and
taught school. At the begin
ming of the school year of 1915,
found our townsman back at the
University of Utah with his am
bition eagerly set upon winning
the honor which was bestowed
upon him on the End day of June,
1915. During his four years of
attendance at the University of
Chicago and at the University of
Utah, he completed six and one
half years of college work. The
degree which he received repre-
sents four years of high school
work and four years of college
work. He is the first Snowflake
man to receive a college degree.
Besides faithfully prosecuting
his regular legal studies, Mr..
Fish, while at the University of
Utah, took a lively interest in
public speaking and debating.
In the year 1910, he was a men,
Der of the University debating
team that met and vanquished
the debating team from the Agri-
cultural College of Utah. In 1911
he was an alternate on the Uni
versity debating team which met
in forensic combat with the de-
batting team of the University of
Colorado. He also took part in
the John R. Park debate in 1911.
Mr.. Fish's present intention is
to enter upon the practice of the
law at Salt Lake City, Utah, at
which place he may join forces
with the law firm of Marks &
Jensen, the junior member of
which firm, Nephi Jensen, is we'll
known to many Snowfakers.

representing not only natural
increase but some immigration
from Utah and older Mormon
communities.
Like Methodists or the Cath
olics, they have their own sys-
tenn of religious government, the
larger communities being known
as stakes and corresponding to
counties, presided over by presi-
dents, each with two counselors
and an advisory high council of
twelve members; these in turn
being divided into wards cor
responding to towns or villages.
under the direction of bishop
rics, composed of a bishop and
two counselors. The largest
stake in Arizona is known as
the St. Joseph Stake and is
nearly all in Graham county,
with headquarters at Thatcher
a n d numbers approximately
a, 500 people resident in Thatch-
er, Stafford, Pima and eleven
smaller centers. The next larg-
est is known as the Maricopa
stake, mostly in Maricopa coun-
ty, numbering 2,721 people, with
headquarters in Mesa, and COM
prising also the the towns of
Alma, Lehi and smaller wards.
The Snowflake stake in Navajo
county numbers over 1900 peo-
pie, with headquarters at Snow
fake. The St. Johns stake, with
headquarters in St. Johns, Apache
county, numbers 2, ,010. Branch
es belonging to the California
mission number 1000 people
and are located principally on
the San Pedro river in Cochise
county. The Fredonia settle
ment, up near the Utah line,
numbers 450 people. About 300
are found in the Littleton and
White River settlement in Mo-
have county and the remainder
are in a little settlement called
Binghampton, near Tucson in
Pima county.
1t will be seen that these peo-
pie are widely scattered through
out the state and wherever they
settle they have brought the
acreage to high degree of cul-
tivation and are prosperous and
law abiding citizens. They are
strong" for education and in
addition to taking advantage of
the states splendid school sys-
tenn they have three fine church
academies for higher education,
one located at Thatcher. one at
ST. Johns and one at Snowflake.

Incidents attending the early
days of the Mormon church
brought the adherents of that
religion into public notice in
such a prejudicial way that to
this good day the word "Mor-
mon" carries to people who have
no personal acquaintance with
that sect a suggestiveness that
seems laughable to those who
dwell among them, or near
them.
Out OF a population of approx
mately $50, 600 people. including
the Indians, the Mormon people
in Arizona now number 13, 300,
so located that in some COM
munities they predominant.
wherefore their influence upOn
the state is proportionately
greater than a like number adj
herring to any other religious
faith. 1t is, therefore, of more
than curious interest to those
who live beyond the states
boundaries and who hope some
day to be numbered among its
citizens, to know something
more definite about the Mormon
people than can be CLEANED from
the oft-repeated and frequently
untrue stories told concerning
them.
In the first place, a Mormon
is very much the same kind of
an animal that comprises the
bulk of the population between
Pittsburg and Denver and Du-
luth and New Orleans. The
Mormons are not like t h e
Yankees, the African, or the
Chinese, a particular race of
people, but on the contrary are
the composite result of the
mixture of nearly all civilized
Caucasion races, the English,
Scandinavian and German pre-
dominating; just good, plain, in
dustrious, forceful, far-seeing
and intelligent American cltl-
zens. Their fathers and grand
fathers were drawn together
from the corners of the civil
lied world by the cohesive power
of a common faith in the reli-
gion of the Church of Latter
Day Saints, founded by Joseph
Smith who was succeeded by
Brigham Young, the latter being
in many respects one OF the
most notable men this country
has produced.
The Mormon people founded
veritable empire in Utah and,
segregated from the world by
mountain barriers, passed thru
all the vicissitudes that attended
the early settlement of America.
They developed practically the
same characteristics as their
forefathers. They may we'll be
described as the Yankees OF the
west. Scattering north a n q
south into other states, they
have performed similar pioneer
ing work. They were among
the first to wrest the fertile
acres of Arizona from the thrall
Of the desert and the savage.
There is today no class of people
in the state that's done more, es-
pecially in agriculture, to trans
form natural resources n Q
fields of plenty and fowns OF
commercial activity.
That the Mormon people IN
Arizona are sturdy and de-
veloping race, co-equal with any
other. is shown by the fact that
their number eight years age

Ottawa, Kan, can take care OF the
dealer, either by freight or express;
and no unreasonable price will be put
on the outfit because Of the crop con-
ditions-as it is the great desire OF
the above concern to enable every
farmer to save his crop for himself
and Dakota. If a farmer finds that
his dealer does not know where to
get engines he can give the name OF
the above firm to the dealer and the
dealer can secure all the engines he
will need, they being shipped by ex-
press if so requested.
It is a tremendous mistake to let
things 20 on at a time when, by a
little foresight. they can be saved
and the wheat and oat crops can pos
itively be saved if binder and header
are equipped with engines to operate
them.
