day morning to attend the an
nnal convention of the Penney
managers at Salt Lake City.
From there he goes to New York
to make his purchases for his
spring trade. He expects to be
absent from the city about six
weeks.
What was at first thought to
be an attempted burglary of the
Winslow News Store, developed
on further investigation to be
the successful effort of the
handsome young Santa Fe fire
man, Joe CaraWay, to get out of
the store after being unWittingly
locked in by the proprietor when
he closed the store for the night.
Joe is such a quiet, bashful
young man that his uncomfor-
table half hour in the store
plaques him not a little, and Mr..
Niethamer is not making much
effort to smooth matters over.

Bridge Bonds Carry.

The bridge bond proposition
submitted to the voters of this
county last Tuesday, to bond the
county for $4,000 to build a
bridge across the Little Colorado
river east of Winslow, and one
across the same stream at St.
Joe, and seven other smaller
bridges in other parts of the
county, were carried by over a
two-thirdS vote as near as it can
be estimated from the unofficial
returns at hand. The heaviest
vote for the bonds, much to the
surprise of people outside the
city, was cast in Winslow, where
the vote was 251 for and only 10
against. Not a little of the
credit for this result is due to
the activity and organization of
the commercial club, and if the
day had been pleasant the vote
would have been largely increas-
ed.
The carrying of these bonds
marks a new era in the develope-
ment of Navajo county. With.
the completion of these bridges
the people will demand better
roads, and so strong will be the
demand that a bond issue will
have to be called to raise suf-
ficient funds to do the work.
The taxpayers have the right to
demand these ordinary conven-
fences of civilization, as it is
their money that foots the bills,
and we hope before the year is
out other bond issues for these
material improvements will be
called. Let the people of. this
county wake up to the fact that
there is an era of prosperity
opening up for the whole state
of Arizona, and if Navajo coun-
ty expects to garner her share
she must keep up her internal
improvements On a par with
other counties in the state.
More bridges will be needed even
before the ones now ordered
built are completed, and the
people in those sections should
get busy at once and place their
claims before the board, with
full assurance that the live pro-
gressive citizens of Winslow will
always be ready with it's vote to
give them the necessary assist
ance. Whatever benefits the
county has a corresponding bene-
fit to Winslow, and our citizens
are now fully awake to the fact.
The official returns on Tues
days election will! show that the
vote for the bonds was over 500,
and the vote against will not
exceed $50.

Business Change.

Mr.. Geo. F. Schaal, one of
Winslow's oldest merchants, has
disposed of his jewelry business
to Mr.. E. H. Black, of Flagstaff,
and the formal transfer took
place yesterday. Mr.. Black
comes here highly recommended
as a frst-class jeveler, and a live,
wide-awake business man, and
with the well-established bust
ness he has taken over he is sure
of abundant success. Mr.. Schaal
had to retire from business ow-
ing to his failing eye-sight, and
he expects to leave shortly for
Los Angeles, where he hopes
complete rest and skillful treat
lnent will restore his weakened
optic nerves. Winslow regrets
this move, as Mr.. Schaal has
been always an active citizen in
her development, giving freely
of his time and ability, and he
takes with him the best wishes
of all for his permanent and

ding OF depreciation is another very
important matter. On page Is Of the
accounting circular is a note giving
a very full and detailed explanation
of the necessity OF setting up depre-
citation and this should be read very
carefully. Depreciation is as much
an element Of cost of rendering serv-
ice as are rerairs, troublemens sal
aries, etc, ana no set OF cost figures
are complete which do not contain
this expense. 1t is very questionable
whether or not, in settling rate con.
troversies, the Commission would con.
slider, as an element of cose, depreci.
alton previously incurred but not pro.
vided for, and if such is the case it
becomes absolutely necessary to
charge as expense an edaquate
amount of depreciation each year.
Whenever any plant or equipment
is retired from service the appropri.
ate Plant and Equipment account
should be credited with the amount
with which it had originally been
charged for this plant. A practical
way of doing this is to apply set of
average cost units to the plant and in
reporting plant retired, report same
by units and credit the Plant and
Equipment accounts with amounts de.
termined from these cost units. Care
should be taken to see that all plant
and equipment is properly reported
and accounted for when retirew.
THE Board of Railway Commits
sioners will require an annual report
from each telephone company and the
information required in these reports
can only be obtained from systems
OF accounts kept in accordance with
the requirements of the Commission.
1t therefore will follow that any com
pany W,lo fails to comply with this
order VIII be unable to make this an.
nual report and will be proceeded
against by the Commission.
"The officers Of the Association feel
sure that all members will Sc the ne,

following this out, if they will take
the matter up with the Secretary Of

LETTER IS SENT TO
COMPANIES IN STATE
Law Makes It Obligatory for the
Phone Companies to Adopt
New Plan.

The new uniform system Of ac-
counting for telephone companies in
the state as prepared by the state
railroad commission meets with the
hearty approval of the North Dakota
Telephone association, according to
to following letter, which has been
sent out by the association to all
telephone companies in the state:
"North Dakota Telephone Association,
ONCE of the Secretary, May 4, 1916.
"The Board of Railroad Commits
sioners OF North Dakota have pre-
scribed a uniform system Of accounts
for Glass ID Telephone Companies,
viz: Telephone Companies whose
gross revenues are less than $4,000
per year, and have ordered this sys-
tenn put into effect as OF January LIST,
1916.
upon the commission SO ordering,
the law makes it obligatory on the
part of the telephone companies to
adopt this system Of accounting.

mission. is not a difficult one and is
simplified as much as is possible anu
still furnish sufficient information as
to the true condition of the company,
and the accounting circular furnished
by them gives a very full and detail
ed explanation Of it's usee, and if this
accounting circular is thoroughly
studied by the accountant Of the com
pany there should be very little trou-
BILE experienced in putting it's require

"The first step necessary for the
adoption Of this system will be the re-
classifying Of the plant and equip

classifications provided in the ac-
counting circular. With some COM
panies this may mean an inventory
of the properties and in case any
company finds such an inventory nee
essary and that they have insufficient
information as to costs to be used as
basis Of this inventory, if they will
communicate with me, | will endeavor
to procure for them units costs which
will be applicable to their property.

GIVE HISTORY OF
THE TWIN FLOWER
DR.. Beede and DR.. Gilmore Give
Interesting Account Of Spring

time Flower.

Indians generally are keenly observ.
ant of all things in nature. They have
stories and songs about all the plant
and animal forms of life with which
they were acquainted. The song
which Dr.. Beede has here given us is
in regard to Pulsatilla hirsutissima
the first flower to appear in spring,
often being found before the snow
has all gone. For. those who are un-
acquainted with this wild flower it
NAV be said 'hat it most resembles
an anemone. 1t is Of a bluish-purplish
color. It's stamens are yellow and
very numerous, giving the appearance
Of a yellow center to the flower. Tie
whole body Of the plant is hairy,
hence the specific name. This char
actelistic explains the allusion 81 am

1t is we'll for our people to know
some of this native child folklore of
America, for the. light it gives us on
the domestic side OF life and the es-
sen:ial poetic thought of the native
American race The mention Of rev
erentiy holding the pipe" is an allu-
sion to religious act of reverence
and worship. Tobacco was used cere-
monially and the pipe when so used

err as typical of the great All-power
which upholds us, covers and protects
and enfolds us that ''in which we live
and move and have our being"
Song Of the TWin-FloWer.
There are many flower songs which
all Indian children know. The Sioux
Tor as they are properly called, the
Dakota) Indian children like the
Song of the Twin-flower" better than
the song Of any other flower; and in
the spring when this flower first
comes up out Of the earth all the
children sing this son. Translated in
to English it is something like this:
wish to encourage the children
Of the tlower-people now coming up
All over the face of the earth;
So while they awaken from SLEEPING
And come up from the heart Of the
earth
am standing here old and gray
headed.
The botanical name of this flower
which the Dakotas coli "Twin-iower
is Pulsatilla hirsutissima. 1t is the
first flower to come up in the spring
time in North Dakota. When an old
Sioux (Dakota) Indian first sees one
OF these flowers in the spring he rev
erently holds his pipe to the earth, tt
the sky, to the north, to the east, tt
the south, and to the west; and ther
he plucks the flower and carries il
home singing this song, which ne
| learned when he was child.
| Since Indians have learned Christ
ianity they associate the resurrection
of Jesus from the dead with the com
ing of these flowers, and if possible
they have them at their church ser
vice at Easter. .,.
