Let No One be De-
Ceived---Be Prepared

Let no one be deceived. When
the railroad is finished and we
have train service for Snowflake
we expect the town to take on
new growth and with this new
growth new influences and con-
ditions will come in. Our social
being will have new and foreign
influences to meet and we be-
lieve such influences can and will
be met and handled properly. If
there is any danger that danger
will come because of the conf
dence we have in the human
family. Let's safeguard that
confidence by instructing our
young people, especially our girls,
the danger of over-confdence.
The confidence enjoyed by one
great big happy family can be
invaded with disastrous results.
Let's teach our young people
how to guard themselves and if
they will heed our advice all will
be we'll.

Flagstaff Received Her
Home Guard Guns

We note that Flagstaff has re-
ceived a shipment of rifles for
her Home Guards. This reminds
us that Snowflake organized a
Home Guard club some time ago,
and a number paid in their dues,
but have never heard anything
about the guns we wanted. At
that time we took steps to guard
the irrigation reservoir, etc.
What has become of that organi-
zation? The Germans are just
as dangerous as ever. The reser-
voir needs guarding just as badly
as ever. A number of our people
are just as anxious to keep the
club up as ever. If Flagstaff can
get her guns there is no reason
why Snowflake can't get them.
We urge that something be done.
The officials of that club can learn
how to get the guns by communi-
eating with Col. F. S. Breen,
Flagstaff. Take steps today to
revive this club and get the guns.

LET There be Light"
And There Will be

At the committee meeting of
the proposed electric light and
power proposition held at Stake
house Monday night the name of
the new organization was adopted
as The Snowflake & Taylor Mill
and Power company. The date
for the annual election of officers
by the stockholders was fixed at
the time of the Tuesday follow
ing the first Monday in January.
The capital stock will be $50. 900,
and SIS, 900 will be paid in by
January l, 1918. To perfect the
organization, the following offic-
ers were named: A. z. Palmer,
John A. Freeman, ]. j. Shum-
way, Samuel F. Smith, Jos. W.
Smith, w. H. Shumway and
Walter H. Denham.
Gentlemen, you are ready for
business-turn on the lights.
The Snowflake herald., 1917-11-09

The committee in charge of the
matter of securing the right of
way for the railroad are up
against a hard proposition and
they should be assisted by every
citizen of this community. It
will take the help of all if they
perfect the program which they
have undertaken to carry out. If
the proposition is turned back to
the railroad company condemna-
tion proceedings will be started
and some will not get what they
think they should get. Some
who own property along the
route thru town are willing to
settle on any fair business basis.
These should not have to bear
the brunt of the whole deal.
Some will be damaged consider
able more than others. Every
one should receive just compen-
sation. But, if we can't settle
the matter among ourselves then
there is only one other way and
that will be by condemnation
proceedings. Our people as a
whole are pledged to pay for this
right of way. If we can settle it
without condemnation proceed
ings it's a cinch that we will get
more for our property than by
resorting to the courts. Snow
flake can settle it without going
into the courts, shall we do it?
Let no one deceived themselves.
The railroad is coming. The out
come of condemnation proceed
ings means that we will get the
lowest possible prices for our
property. Apply common sense
to this problem. Do bit of
thinking. At the time of the
McGaffey banquet this right of
way proposition could have been
secured for at least half as much
as it can be had today. Does
The Snowflake herald., 1917-11-09

mitteee Need Help

Brunt of the Burden

any one think for a minute that
the price of property as advanced
by the fact of the railroad COM
ing is the price that must be
paid? If you believe this then
go into the courts and see what
you get. The railroad does not
expect anything for nothing,
and at the same time the railroad
will not pay one cent exorbitant
prices for lands they don't have
to. If, as some think, it should
be an individual affair with the
railroad company, then let the
committee turn the matter over
to the railroad and you watch the
outcome.
In the mean time, remember
that the Snowflake community is
pledged to pay for that right of
way, whatever the outcome. If
some-and there are some-who
will not abide by that pledge
then it adds to the sum others
must pay.
The railroad did not ask one
cent donation. 1t requested that
we give the right of way thru
Snowflake.
Many towns of the wealth and
size of Snowflake have put up
from $4,000 to $25, 900 to secure
railroad.
The railroad company has not
shown any inclination to hog us.
1t will be built from 'Holbrook to
the timber belt. 1t desires to
come thru Snowflake. There are
two other routes by which it can
reach the timber belt. 1t can go
just far enough away from Snow
flake to make it an eternal in
convenience.
We have the opportunity in
hand.
What shall we do with it?
The Snowflake herald., 1917-11-09

There should be more interest
in the work of the American Red
Cross in Snowflake. A few are
very anxious to do something and
have contributed to the fund and
have done all that can be done,
but there are number of our
people who do not appreciate the
Importance of the work OF that
organization. Snowflake should
have at least 100 members. We
should have a Junior Red Cross.
That would stimulate some older
ones who are holding out from
the organization. 1t is our duty
to be members of the Red Cross.
Our sons are in the war with their
lives and certainly we who can
not go to the front can help care
for the lives of those of our own
flesh and blood by joining the
Red Cross. We have to say that
indifference is the most dangerous
foe we have in this great war
and that apathy can be shown
in more ways than one. If any
are holding back from the Red
Cross because they have no i'm
mediate relatives in the army
they are showing a spirit of self

strict embargo was enforced to-
day against the expectation to
Mexico of any flour, sugar or
other foodstuffs included in the

smallest quantity of sugar, flour
or other foodstuffs to Jaurez it is
now necessary to obtain license.

ishness that is very dangerous
and by such a spirit of selfish
ness will prolong this war, there
by making it necessary to sacri-
flee more lives in the army. This
is no time for slackerism. We
are in war. If a neighbor has
suffered some member or mem
bers to go to this war it is our
business just the same to help
care for our neighbor's boys as
much so as tho they were mem
bers of our own families. We
must be united people in this

A few should not be allowed to
bear the expense in money and
sons. Italy will be a long time

will be a long time coming

America must furnish more men.
We who can't go can assist. We
can and should be members of
the Red Cross. We feel alarmed
and believe that the masses are
not alarmed as they should be.
