their opponents. In the last two

Madison now unless sitter opposition

their eyes on at present. They feel
they have a chance to finish wsll mp

mined to prove their right to a good
position when the joust ends. They
are out to win but are not issuing
any sweeping statements.
Every encouragement should be
given them as a state title will help
put Madison on the may as much as
anything else. AS long as we have

The Shurnway Water Power

The Herald printer man, in
company with his wife, Mr.. and
Mrs. j. O. Freeman, with Henry
Webb at the helm, visited Shum-
way Sunday to inspect the water
power proposition at that place
which is to be used for generat-
ing electricity for Shumway,
Taylor and Snowflake.
We found water power enough
to generate electric lights and
electric power sufficient for a city
of IL, 600 or $1,000 people. The
big thing in the construction Of
the plant will be the cable to
transmit the current from Shum-
way to Snowflake via Taylor.
But, as the power is to be furn-
ished by tie force of water that
will be to the advantage as first
cost will be negative quantity,
and what otherwise would be re-
quired to be spent in generating
power can be utilized in sub
stantial transmission line, one
that will last for several genera
tions.
The SnowAske & Taylor electric
plant should soon pay for itself
and become paying investment.
Our advice is to put in a mod
ern up-to-date plant. Then we
will have satisfaction right off
the reel, so to speak, and salts
faction to begin with and the
battle is won.
If one neighbor takes lights or
power and the next door neigh
Dor refuses (being a bit skepti-
cal) and the lights are in every
respect satisfactory, it will not
be long till all will take the
service.
We are indeed lucky to have
such a magnificent natural water
fall for power.

@Heart Of the SunSet"

Our Heart of the Sunset"
story will soon be at an end.
The story didn't take much at
first, but as it progressed readers
began to find it one of the best
stories ever written. Some who
didn't commence with the begin
ming of the story have asked for
copies of the paper from the be-
ginning. This is impossible, as
we can not afford to print extra
copies Of the paper in order to
supply such a demand paper is
too high. Dosen't take many
papers to run into the dollars.
We will commence another
story when Heart of the Sun
set" runs out and our readers
should commence with the first
instalment.
In this connection we would
like to remark that we have no
objection to the habit of borrow
ing the paper instead Of subscrib-
ing as long as the borrower is
not able to pay the price at 81
per year. But, when certain
borrowers have refused to pay
their subscription and allowed
their paper cancelled, for some
petty dislike to our editorial pol
icy, then we most certainly OBJ
ject.
When one here and there re-
fuses the paper because of our
policy and then spends about $40
a year chasing it, we have some
pretty we'll defined objections.
We have our policy and we are
going to adhere to it. The few
who have discontinued the paper
and refuse to pay what they owe
can expect to find the doors lock-
ed and the keys thrown away
when they arrive at their "sweeC
hVe and bVe. -
Watch for announcement of
our coming story and commence
with the first.

Navajo BrOt Back the Bacon

A. p. Larson, county fair COM
missioner, arrived in Snowflake
from the Prescott fair Tuesday
morning and reports that, except
ing Yavapai, Navajo had the best
display of and county represent
ed at the fair. Yavapai, being
the home of the fair, could not
compete for prizes, SO that left
Navajo first best prizes.
Mr.. Larson is very enthusiastic
for a county fair for Navajo for
1913, and wants to start right
now for that fair. He says that
so few of our people attend the
fairs of Prescott and at Phoenix
that they do not know what their
own county is now doing, or
what it can do.
The Herald is also very enthus-
iastic for that county fair. 1t
can be done, and to commence
now to prepare we can hold a
rousing big fair at Snowflake
and it can be made to pay it's
way, and its educational feature
and benefits to this county can
not be measured in dollars and
cents.
We suggest called meeting
for Snowflake at an early date,
say just after the State fair, and
let's organize a county fair as
sociation. and get to work.
Snowflake is now, and will be-
come more so, the agricultural
center of the county. We are
nearest the coal deposits and
other mineTal prospects, and the
fair will advertise our resources
to the balance of our neighbors,
and incidentally to the world.
The Navajo" club, or what
ever its name, is now in the
making, and this club can init
ate the move that will organize a
county fair association.
