Rifle Club Organized
Last Tuesday night the He

Last Tuesday night the Hol
 brook Rifle Club was organized in the superior court room il
 Holbrook. starting with a mem | bership of A. This membership
 will no doubt be considerably in
 creased in a few days.
 The meeting Tuesday nigh
 was called to order by L. H,
 Mickey. who had received in. formation as to the organization of such clubs from George J. Roskruge, of Tuscon, secretary of the National Rifle Association for Arizona. It was organized by the selection of Charles Os- borne as chairman and D. L. Bundy as secretary.
 After the bylaws of the na- tional association had been read and discussed an opportunity was given all present to enroll their names as members. Prac- tically ever man present signed the bylaws and became a mem Der of the Holbrook Rifle Club. that name being unanimously adopted for. the club.
 The election of officers resulted as follows: President, Charles Osborne; vicepresident, c. P. Cooley; secretary. D. L. Bundy; treasurer, Jay Patterson; exc cutive officer, L. H. Mickey. The officers of the club compose the executive committee, which will transact all business of the club. The membership fee was fixed at S1.OO, and the annual dues at $2.OO.
 The National Rifle Association, of which the HolbrooK Rife Club is a member, is not a part of either the national or state army. It is authorized by the national government, and guns and ammunition are furnished the clubs at cost by the government, but membership in the associa- tion carries with it no obligation for military service. Neither does membership in the associa- ton exempt members from mill tary duty when called.
 As soon as possible guns for the members of the Holbrook club will be ordered,a rifle range will be selected, and everything necessary will be done to get things in shape for practice when the equipment is received.
The Holbrook news., 1917-04-27

The result of the election is very gratifying to the people who supported the bonds, and who worked for their success. It is likewise an emphatic in- dorsement of the action of the supervisors in calling the cleo tion and thereby making it pos sible for the people to improve their condition by voting for the bonds. Not alone was the ac- tion of the supervisors indorsed, but the vote showed an expres- sion of confidence in the high way commission appointed by the supervisors to apportion the money, and to superintend the construction of the roads.
 Every section of the county will be benefited by improved roads. Even Winslow. where the people voted strongly against the bonds, will be benefited. The short-sighted policy of the voters there as expressed by their votes, will not be charged against them. They will pro- bably be treated fairly by the commissioners who distribute the money, and will be benefited whether they wish it or not.

Holbrook Boys Enlist in NaUy

Wednesday afternoon three
 Holbrook boys left here to be
 come recruits in the U. s Navy
 The boys were given a prelimi
 nary examination Tuesday by
 naval recruiting officer sent
 here for that purpose. This eX.
 animation was passed success
 fully and the boys started Wed.
 nesdav afternoon for El Pasoi
 from there they will go to the
 Mare Island naval station at San Francisco. The boys who went are Claude Flanigan, Henry Lopez and Lester Thomas. Arthello Bates passed the pre- Iiminary examination and will enlist as soon as the consent of his mother, who is in Flagstaff, is obtained.
 When the train arrived that was to bear the young recruits away, a large crowd of people was at the station to bid goodbye and God-speed to the boys. Three rousing cheers were given them as the train left the sta ton, and tears dlmmed the eyes of many at the thought that this might be the last parting be- tween these loyal lads and their no less loyal parents who had unhesitatingly given their con- sent for their sons to answer their country's call.
 Tuesday evening Judge and Mrs. D. J. Thomas gave a fare well party to the boy recruits, to which their relatives and friends were invited. Everything pos sible was done by the host and hostess to make the occasion a pleasant one, and, save for the thoughts of the rapidly appro- moment of parting, mo- thing marred the gaiety of the 
 Before the the departure of the guests Judge Thomas and Prof. Kemp gave the young re- cruits splendid talks, in which they praised highly the noble qualities of manhood and loyalty each had shown by responding to the call of his country. The remarks were fitting tributes to the patriotism of the boys, and no less to their parents, and they will be ever remembered by those who heard them as a l beautiful ending to a notable event.

Toun Secures Valuable Publicity


 During the short time Holbrook has been an incorporated town it has secured more Valuable publi- city than it probably ever had before in it's existence. And this publicity would not have come to it had there been no corporate town, and no mayor and councilmen.
 We have reference to two things that have occurred during the past month. The first is the entertainment provided, at the suggestion and under the direc- tion of Mayor Scorse, for the Fl Paso crowd that stopped in Hol- brook for three hours on their excursion. Had there been no one to take the lead in entertain ing these people, they would have stopped here only for a few moments, and would have left with the opinion that Hol- brook did not amount to much. Thanks to Mayor Scorse and other citizens the Fl Paso people were royalty entertained here, and they left thoroughly con- vinced that the town is a live one, and is the home of a live class ot citizens.
 The other instance to which we refer, in which the mayor took a leading part, was the patriotic parade made by citi- zens on the day set apart by the governor as Loyalty Day.
 These two things alone have gained more of the right kind ot publicity for HoIbrook than the town could have secured in any other manner. And it was gain. ed principally because of the fact that the town is incorporated, and has a mayor whose duty ii is to take the lead in such mat. ters. and who does not shirh that duty.

Sewer Bonds Sold
 To DenUer Company

The Town Councilmen passed the last ordinance Monday night in connection with the sale of the sewer bonds which were award ed to Keeler Bros. of Denver.
 The bonds are for $60, 900 and bear 5 per cent interest. A great deal of interest was mani fested at the meeting Monday night as there were several bid ders for the bonds. The attor- neys for the purchaser will have to approve the proceeding in connection with the sale of the bonds before the money will be available, but it is thought thls will take less than thirty days.

Why Make q Change?


 on the street this week by one of the leaders in the movement to override the will of the people, and undo what they did when they in- corporated the town, that he had employed three of the best lawyers in the state to assist in his reactionary movement. Fine for the lawyers employed, and twill not injure the case of the people. All the lawyers in the state can not overthrow the statutes of Arizona, and the statutes provide that only the voters themselves can undo by their ballots what a majority of them did when they incorporated the town.
 The statutes of Arizona clearly define the procedure necessary to disincorporate a town. First, a majority of the resident taxpayers of the town must petition the board of county supervisors for an election; the board of supervisors then call an cleo tion, which must be adver- tised for four weeks, and in the event a majority of the resident taxpayers declare by their ballots in favor of disincorporation, the super visors then disincorporate the old incorporation, and incorporate a new town to take the place of the old town.
 This new town, or incor- poration, is governed by three trustees, who appoint a clerk, marshal and other necessary officers, and whose powers are the same as those of councilmen in the old in- corporation. These trustees are appointed for one, two and three year terms, and after the expiration of one year an election is held for the purpose Of electlng a trustee to fill the place of the retiring member.
 In other words, under the statutes the disincorporation of a town means simply the formation of a new incor- poration, and the substitu- ton of the trustee form of government for the council manic form. It seem to us that the councilmanic form is preferable; it is more re- presentative and it is cheap CT, for the trustees would probably insist on being paid salaries.
 There is only one way a town can be disincorporated, and the three best lawyers in the state will no doubt point out the way to their employer, since that way will entail lengthy litiga- tion and consequent fat fees for them.

 April 23, 1917 Cattle receipts were 10, 800, and the market was slow and barely steady, toE $12.25. Hog receipts were 12000, market 15 to 20 lower. top $15.80. Sheep anC lambs today 5000, market 10 higher, wooded lambs $15. .85, a new high record, clipped lambs $12.6O.
 Beef cattle Receipts were rather liberal at all markets, due to alarm over the position of the Govern ment with respect to price fixing, coupled with the high cost of feed. Packers had a slight advantage, the market 25 to 50 cents under a week ago even on good to choice steers. Some natives weighing HOO lbs. sold at $12.05, but twenty or thirty loads of pulp steers sold at SIP to $12.25, middle class steers sold at $1O.5O to $11.- 50, and light weight com mon steers to killers at $8.- 50 to S9.75. Five loads Utah pulp fed steers sold at $11, Utah COWS $9.35. About 60 loads of Colorado and Nebraska pulp steers sold at Sll.25 to Sl2.25, pulp cows and bulls each up to $10. Five cars of mixed quaran- tine cattle included COWS up to $9.5O, steers $7.50 to $9. 75, calves $7. 50 to $11, bulls $7.5O to $8.25, everything light weight and only fair to good. Best natives COWS went up to $1O.5O, veals $13.2 bulls $10.25.
 Stockers and feeders = Sales today were steady with the decline of 15 to 35 cents effective last half of last week. Stock steers sold at $8 to $10.75 and feeding steers at $9.50 to 40, a four car drove bringing the latter price, highest on record, to an Illinois man. Stock steers at S8.35 on Saturday, 700 lbs average, were an attractive purchase by an Iowa man. Breeding heifers and cows sell at $7.OO to $1O. 50, about $1.00lower than 10 days ago.
 The only department of the live stock trade to show firm prices is the sheep house, where light receipts keep buyers on the defensive. Sales were 10 higher today, yearIing lambs from North ern Colorado at $15.85, al new high record, bulk of lambs $15.50 to $15. 75, clip ped lambs up to SIP. 60, ewes worth SIS. some 40 ID brush CT Angoras today at $9. a new high price in that class. Light receipts and higher prices are forecasted.
