The City of Snowflake
Young Lady Predestinates

The following was composed
by Miss Altha Taylor, one of
last years brightest 5th grade
pupils in the Snowflake district
school. Miss Altha read it at
the close of school, April 18th,
but as many did not get to hear
it, the measles contagion having
entered the community about
that time, aC the request of sew
eral of the young lady's friends,
we herewith publish the compo-
sition in full:
Snowflake, Ariz.,
March 2, 1926.
Dear Friend Nell:
AS you will see, | am in Snow
flake, Ariz. | stopped off here
a few days before continuing
my journey on home, (dear old
Ill.). | expect to leave here for
home next week.
If you could only see Snowflake
now! 1t is so different from the
place we attended school in,
in 1916.
l received my first surprise
when | stepped off the train at
Holbrook, and heard the train
cryer calling, Train leaves in
fifteen minutes for Fort Apache,
via Snowflake, Taylor, Shumway
and all points along the line!"
For | had been dreading that
28 mile ride in Mr.. Webb's tin
wagon all morning. | hurried
across the track and was soon
seated in a nice chair car, and
rolling across the prairie toward
Snowflake.
Arriving at Snowflake the first
thing to meet my eyes was a
fine depot near where the road
used to cross the wash. Here
we were met by free buss
which took us to Hotel Snow
flake, a large building, five sto-
ries high, and covering a whole
block of ground.
After dinner we started out
to see the sights. One of the
finest buildings to meet my eyes
was fine opera house on the
ground where the Social hall
used to stand. 1t will seat over
1000 people. Then little far
ther on are two fine ward meet
ing houses, and | am told there
are three other churches in the
city.
And, O, Nell! if you could
only see the school house! 1t is
built on that point where the
old blacksmith shop used to
stand. 1t has 35 rooms, and
they employ 25 teachers. Some
of our old girl friends are teach
ing, among them Emma Ramsay,
Rose Ramsay, Blanch Campbell,
Fanny Frost. One of the Will
lis bought the old school house
and is useing it for a COW barn.
There are fifteen or twenty
stores in the city, and so many,
many fine homes. The hill south
of town is thickly covered with
beautiful homes.
There is a fine park and bath

There are more boot-legging
joints in operation in Winslow
now than there were licensed sa-
looms two years ago, and they
carry on their illicit traffic almost
openly without any interference.
If the people of this town want
whisky sold let us petition the
supervisors to repeal the prohi-
bition law, as applied to Navajo
county, and get in the game
right. Judge Sapp certainly will
have no objection, as he always
imposes the minimum fine of
$25 so not to seriously hamper
the industry, and with a little
legal advice from County Attor-
ney Jordan the supervisors will
pass resolution declaring the
law null and void in Navajo
county. Winslow Mail.

IOWA SUPREME
COURT DECISIONS

: Des Moines, Jan. 19.-The supreme
court handed down another opinion
reaffirming the stand the court has
previously taken that telephone COM
Lp&nies operating in Iowa before 1897
have perpetual franchises. The deCis-
ion is in the action brought by H. G..
Larimer and A. B. GOokin against the
Charlton Telephone company to Gust
the company from the streets of Char
iton.
Referring to the opinion handed
down a few weeks ago in the case Of
Shaver VS.. Iowa Telephone company.
holding that the Iowa Telephone COM
pany has a perpetual franchise in Des
Moines, the court says that the Chart
ton case is decided on the same point.
However, at Charlton the tele-
phone company secured a franchise
in 1894 from the city and operated
under it until it expired in 1909. Then
it claimed a perpetual right. 1t claim
ed that the city in 1894 had no right
to grant a franchise, and that the leg
islature has since then not given it
any power to cancel franchise.
Justices Weaver and Preston dis
sent in the Charlton case, just as they
dissented in the opinion in the Des
Moines action. They hold that the leg
islature in 1897 terminated all fran
chises and gave the cities Of the state
power to central such matters in the
future.

against him was larceny. 1t was
alleged that Frost had paid Adam
Krause a dollar for a horse on the
plea that the horse aforesaid, which
Krause was keeping in Ira Braces
pasture was dead. Frost, it was
claimed, based his desire for the
horse on the plea that he wanted the
hide. 1t developed later. according
to Krause's story, that the horse was
alive, and if not kicking. able to kick.
Therefore he claimed his horse was
taken from him unfairly and sought
redress. Judge Norris heard the evil
dence and deferred his decision pend
ing settlement which appeared pro

Natives of Sweden to be
Deported.

Keoklk, Jan. 19.-Extra precautions
are being taken by both the employees
OF the Mississippi River Power Co.
and the United States government
men, under charge of Major Mont
gomery Meigs, to prevent the de-
struction of the dam and locks by
Cranks or war spies.
Some time ago the power company
is said to have received warning to
be on the lookout, and as a result or
ders were issued to watch strangers
with extra care and to inquire close
ly into their business. Accordingly
every precaution has been observed
by the men working for both the pow.
ed company and the government and
all strangers have been closely scru-
tjnized. 1t is said that no suspicious
characters have been apprehended,
but watchfullness has not relaxed.
II is thought by those at the dam
that the affair is a false alarm. In
speaking of it, however, they say that
there are cranks in the country who
are liable to try anything. And as an
illustration the attempt to destroy the
Massachusetts state house in Boston
recently is cited.
In spite OF their apparent attitude
to make light of the incident, it is
evident that the vigilance of the gov
eminent has not relaxed in the least.
