STOCK MARKET


 New York, April 1-Openin g-Over night news from Mexico contributed appreciably to the strength of today's stock market at the opening. Mexican Petroleum was lifted over points on heavy dealings and American Smelling rose almost as much There also was a. further brisk demand for coppers and Crucible Steel at variable gains Mercantile Marine preferred and New A1rbrake also rose a point, with irreg- uIar strength in motors, equipments and some unclassified specialties- South Porto Rico Sugar rose 8 to the neyvx high record off 21. Among rails New Haven and Canadian Pacific re1 fIected pressure while New, Y York Cen- tra1 made slight recovery.
 CIose-Prices were mostly higher during todays. short session of the stock exchange, but no very definite conclusions were reached. Trading was narrow with moderate activity in coppers. petroleums, motors and some of the munitions South Porto Rico Sugar was prominent among high priced specialties, rising Il points to the new record of 214. U. s. Steel was firm and rails generally heavy. The close was irregular. Strength of Ang1o-French hves featured an other wise uncertain bond market

(Henry Clews.0

The chief factors of depression in the market for the time being are the crises in our relations with Germany and Mexico. The former appears to have again reached an infiamnatoryl stage, the outcome of which is be- yond human foresight at this time. The Mexican affair is less grave, but may be the cause of much pernicious political activity The Presidential campaign, though overshadowed by the war. is running under full head way. and the efforts to excite public opinion and secure votes by unscrupu- Ious politicians seem quite likely to complicRte an already highly sensitive and dangerous situation. These are times not for stirring up friction. but for cool and straight thinS{ng by citi- gems and Representatives as<a1e. Inn portant French and British 1oSns are pending which will be factor in the general market. Foreign securities are coming this. way in considerable volume, and this movement tends to temporarily depress values. There is a fair demand for high grade bonds which are relatively firm.

MOrmOnS Can Now Talk

Some trouble has been going
on between the city authorities
of Norfolk, Va, and Mormon
missionaries, in regard to the
latter preaching on the streets
of that town. However, itseems
that the matter was satisfact-

will be seen by the following
from a Norfolk paper:
Provided they confne their
meetings to Commercial Place

traffic is not disturbed, Mormon
Elders Shumway and West were
today given permission to preach
by the Board of Control. No

One Of The Observer force had
occasion to meander to HOlbrOOk
the past week. When entering
the suburbs of the Petrifed For
est, he noticed the fallen coun-
tenance of the chauffeur, and on
inquiry as to the cause of his
melancholy attitude, he said:
I'VE are in Navajo county now,
where the roads are hi" Sew
eral times, in trying to follow
the twisting road, he started
back to Apache county. but
would be reminded that the mail
had to be taken to Holbrook.
We are not prophets, but if there
isn't anything done by our sister
county before long to connect up
roads, we do not think it will
take much persuasion to infu-
ence those who handle the road
funds to build the road to Ada
mana, and then build a town in
our own county, and not pay
tribute to Caesar forever with
out recognition. The Observer.
The roads of Navajo county
are no credit to the thrift OF
her citizens and each year they
are becoming more of a joke.
With the exception of what the
state has done there has not been
enough work on the road east of
Holbrook to blaze a route for a
cow trail and it is high time the
business men Of the county seat
are working up if they expect to
keep the Apache county trade.
The same condition holds true
of the roads leading south of
Holbrook. The few attempts at
building have not been very sue
cessful and in many instances
traffic is avoiding the grades
for the open prairie. Unless
something is done to improve
these conditions the old song
that all roads lead to Holbrook
may become history instead of
music to the ears of the merch-
ants of that railroad center.

Account Of Hebe9 Perkins
Death and the Finding
of His Body
(CONTRIBUTED]
Taylor, March %, 1916.

@Ot
The people of Taylor were
shocked on March 13 when word
was received of the death by
drowning of one of our town
boys, Heber K. Perkins, aged Il
years, and son of Frank M.
Perkins, Sr. The boy was on
his way home from Hubbard,
Ariz., where he had spent the
winter months. He left Hub
bard March II, reaching Black
River about l p. m. the follow
ing day, where he met his death
while attempting to ford the
river. The father was at Pine
dale when the sad word was re-
ceived and, after returning home,
left Immediately for the river in
company with four men. The
following evening about seven
O'Clock another party left, reach
ing the river the next day.
Search was commenced for the
body but no trace of it could be
found. On March 10th the party
returned, leaving four men
the father, John Hatch, Sr.,
Josh Allen and Andrew Per-
kins-to keep watch till the
swollen river should subside.
About 4 p. m. March 18th, John
Hatch and Josh Allen crossed
the river in a boat and discov-
cred the body. They worked till
three o'clock the next morning
before they body was landed
safely at the fathers feet.
The commander in charge of
the troops at Ft. Apache gave
all the assistance possible. The
party was met at Ft. Apache
by automobiles and reached the
boys home about 4:30 p. m.
March 18.
The funeral was held at the
church Sunday, March 10Th, at
2:3O p. No., and was the largest
attended funeral held in Taylor
for many years. One brother,
Frank, Jr., was not present, 1t
being impossible to reach him
by wire.
Heber was born and raised
here and we know of no one who
commanded more respect and
love than did he, among both
old and young. His good ma
tured smile and jolly ways will
long be remembered by his many
friends who feel their loss by
his absence.
The family wish to thank all
who assisted and comforted them
in any way during their sorrow.
