Pinedale Pickings
Special to The Herald:

Special to The Herald:
Pinedale, Sept. l.
: Some residents of our town
just returned from a trip down
Limestone Canyon, on the Indian
Reservation, where they had
gone to gather wild grapes and
see the scenery. While there
they ran into a hunters camp
and were treated to fresh bear
meat and the sight of one large
bear skin and three cubs and one
mountain lion, the lion measur-
ing 8 ft. The grapes were few
but the scenery was grand and
plentiful, so the party felt more
than paid for going.
Our town just gave a dance
and afternoon entertainment to
our soldier boys who are going
away.
w. r. Brewer and son, Karl,
and Ivan Brewer have gone to
Winslow on business.
Quite a number of Pinedale
boys and girls will attend the
Academy this winter. They,
and our soldier boys gone, the
town will be very dull.

Argentine Very Suspicious

Rio Janeiro, Aug. 20 (delayed).
The German note to Argentia
setting the Toro incent and pro-
missing that Argentine ships

couched in such cordial terms
that it has given rise to suspicion
in we'll informed political circles
here, where surprise is expressed
at the promptness and unaccus-
complaisance of Germany toward
a country which does not belong
to the alliance. The general i'm

District School Sept. 10
Two New Rooms in Order
to Accommodate Children

District school for Snowflake
opens Monday, Sept. 10. On
account of some 35 or 80 more
pupils this year than last, a con-
tract has been let for the erec-
tion Of two additional rooms to
the main building, so as to ac-
commodate the students. These
two rooms are for temporary
use, however, as a new build
ing is to be erected as soon as
possible. 1t is to be regretted
that a new building was not
built during the past vacation.
This, however, could not be
avoided at this time, as the mat
ter could not be perfected just
yet. and by waiting little long
er longer a commodious and
modern building can be built,
one that will meet all demands
and requirements for many
years to come.
The teachers for the coming
term. are: Geo. L. Haynes. pri-
ncipaI; Misses Alice Sabine,
Leone Kartchner, Hattie Webb
and Ruby Porter. Two addition
al teachers are to be supplied.
1t is to be hoped that an ac-
count of the croWed condition
of each sroom that the teachers
will see to it that the proper
ventilation will be given at all
times, warm days as we'll as
cold days. 1t is absolutely nee
essary that plenty pure fresh
air circulate in the school room.
This protects and insures the
health of students and enables
them to do the best work. Let
this matter be looked after from
start to finish.

Working His PussyfoOt Di-
plOmacy Overtime

Mexico City, Sept. l. Renew
ed assurances that Mexico would
remain neutral in the world war
were given by President Car
rama tonight in his message at
the opening of the regular ses-
sion of the Mexican congress.
The president reviewed the eff
forts the Mexican government
had made toward peace, mention
ing the note in which it proposed
that all neutrals cease shipping
supplies to the belligerents.
President Carranza said that
while its efforts for peace had
not as yet been successful, Mexi-
co would still strive toward that
end and concluded:
Mexico, to comply the better
with this mission, while it's des-
tiny is completely apart from the
interests for which the European
nations are struggling, respect
ing all nations and being respect
ed by them, surely will observe
the most strict neutrality which
is now, which has been and
which will be its flexible rule of

HOlbrOOk Nearing Boom
Oil Developments Most Prom
ising Say Experts
Special to The Herald:

Holbrook. Sept. 5.
The finding of oil and natural
gas near Holbrook is creating
considerable interest and is rap
idly taking on the proportions of
boom. Already five sections of
land have been staked out in
claims northeast of town, and
the work has only commenced.
Harry H. Scorse, an old resi-
dent of this place, and a consist
ent booster of his home town,
has known of the oil and coal
indications here for several years
About six months ago he induced
experts to make an investigation.
of the proposition and their re-
port of the oil indications was so
favorable that he had other ex-
perts make Investigations result
ing in the stalking out of about
twenty claims. Pocket gas has
been found in several places near
town and it is no uncommon
thing to find a little oil near the
surface of the ground, but not
enough to attract much attention
Now that several experts from
different oil fields of the country
have reported favorably on the
finding of oil in quantity pros
pecting will commence immedi-
ateIy. Mr.. Scorse stated to the
Herald's correspondent that the
money was available for the
sinking Of the first we'll and that
work would be commenced in
few days. He is determined to
give the matter a thorough test
even if it is necessary to bore
down several thousand feet at
several different places.
With the favorable prospect of
an oil field being opened up in
this vicinity ana the building of
railroad from here into the
timber belt of the White Noun
tains the future of HoIbrook nev-
er looked so bright and it is evil
dent that the people are just
awaking up to the possibilities Of

ALASKA COMMERCIAL
 TRAVEL INCREASING

As a result of the entry of the United States into the Buropena war, tourist travel to Alaska dur. ing the summer months fell some what below the high records of previous years. This decrease was more than offset, however, by the increase in the number of ordinary passengers, according to statistics just compiled by the Pacific S. s. company.
 Officials of the company's traffic department declare that the number of persons who traveled for purely business reasons had been unpre- cedented. This class includes con- mercial salesmen and buyers and persons engaged in fishing, mining or other industries in Alaska. The number Of resident Alaskans who have made trips back and forth has also been heavy.

FARMS FOR CANADIAN
 SOLDIERS

Consul Edward A. Dow, accredit- ed to Fort William and Port Ar thur, Ontario, Canada, transmits the following:
 The minister of lands, forests, and mines of Ontario announced dur ing a visit to Port Arthur that the Province will soon undertake to es- tablish an agricultural colony in this vicinity. The plan is already being tried at one point, where 30 sets Of farm buildings will be grouped in one community. Sep t.ember first the buildings were ready for use Separate houses are built for single men. It is hoped that there will be a demand for more buildings as the communi- ty develops.
 The government clears 10 acres of land and advances a $500 loan on the improvement, charging 6 per cent interest. No payments are required during the first 5 years, and the loan expires in 20 years. The farmers are to be al- lowed years to make certain i'm proyements and develop the farms.
 Applications already number 300. Selections are carefully made by giving a preliminary 3O-days' trial course to determine if the men are suited to farming, and those who show no special interest in such work are promptly eliminated. During the trial period the men are given soldiers regular pay allowances, and shares from the patriotic fund.

EXAMINATION OF ELIGIBLE
MEN FOR SERVICE KILLED
Conference Report on War Deficiency
Bill Blocks Plan to Examine All,
Whether Called at Once or Not.

Tho conference report on the war
deficiency bill kills for the present. at
least. the proposal to examine for mill
tary service all men registered for the
Army draft and not yet called. The
House and Senate conferees eliminated
an appropriation for this purpose from
the deficiency bill.
This plan was suggested by the
provost marshal generals office in or
der that every registered man might
know whether he was liable for serv-
ice. and. II so. the actual order OF his
liability. The War Department asked
for expressions of opinions from the
governors of states, and only two sig
nified disapproval.
Secretary Baker said recently that
the Department had reached no de-
cision in the matter. and would not
until Congress acted upon the proposed
appropriation to defray expenses and
thereby pressed its Will.
In passing the deficiency bill the
House included the appropriation and
the Senate ADDED an amendment limit
ing the men to be examined to the
number soon to be needed. The con-
ferees eliminated the whole pro ision.
The report has been accepted by the
Senate and is to be approved today by
the House.
