kMOvED FROM
HOME AND SMASHED

]. o. Milley, colored, residing near
the corner of Tarragona and Lloyd
streets, reported to the police late
Saturday night that someone had
forced an entrance to his home and
had removed therefrom his wardrobe
trunk, which was well-fitted with
goods he priced very much. At an
early hour Sunday morning, however,
Mllley discovered the missing trunk
in the yard, in the rear of his home,
and the burglars had broken the
couple of locks with which it was Sc
cured, and had ransacked the interior,
but had evidently found nothing APP
pealing to their fancies, for nothing
was stolen. 1t was believed the thieves
were looking for money, in which
search they were rudely disappointed.

 MT. Hance expects to go for a fishing and hunting trip to the White Mountains and stated that he would surely visit again the people who treated him so friend ly on this visit. He found all the people and the entire country prosperous; fine farms and good buildings, and patriotism every where in Northern Arizona, and he has been over most of the state this spring. And he found no place more on the boom than the town of Holbrook.

Old Timer Visits HoIbrook

Last Friday Geo. M. Hance, of Camp Verde. Yavalpai county, came to Holbrook with two car loads of cattle for Joe Dent. On the 9th. 10th and 11th, he visited in Navajo county. renewing old acquaintances.
 In the early days MT. Hance assessed this part of Arizona, when all of the country wasin Va vaipai county; he was the asses sor at the time of the first Mormon emigration to Arizona and was at Snowflake when Jim Stinson owned the place.
 MT. Hance visited Snowflake last Sunday and Monday, and he is loud in his praise of the people there; of the garden of Eden like improvements; of the beautiful homes and churches, the school houses and the academy. which are second to none in Arizona However, he said that he could not help noticing that the Lord had loved and called for His own nearly all the old time pioneers. He noticed further that the young people had loved one ano- ther and Arizona and many ot them had married and raised nice families.
 Mir. Hance also stated to the editor of the News that by actua count there are more pretty girls to the square acre in Snowflake than in any other place in the United States. But to get one of them for his own he says he would have a harder and more difficult love problem to work out than Pyhagoras had in his mathematical problem when he struggled with the 47th problem of Euclid. Although cattle are high he thinks he saw one gir there worth the heckatOmb. anc

Road Bonds Sold

The $160, 900 issue of Navajo county road bonds was sold last Tuesday by the county supervi- sors to Powell. Garard 6 Co.,. of Chicago. A representative of the bond firm was present in person, as were also two repre- sentatiVes of other bond houses.
 The price agreed upon be- tween the supervisors and the bond company was par and ac- crued interest, less a discount of approximately $10,6O0 which was allowed the bond company as compensation for attorneys fees. engraving bonds and va rious other incidental expenses.
 This price is considerably high CT than any other offer received by the supervisors and. consider ing the bad state of the bond market. it is a good price. The rate of interest on the bonds is only 5 per cent; deducting the commission is equivalent to rais- ing the interest rate to B. per cent, which is not a high rate for this country.
 Tn closing the sale of the bonds at such an advantageous figure, the News believes that the su- pervisors displayed excellent judgment, and we believe that their action will be indorsed by practically all of the taxpayers in the county.
 Further, we believe that the supervisors made excellent selec- tions in their appointments of members of the highway com mission, under whose direction the money secured from the sale of the road bonds will be ex- pended. These men are all men of sound judgment and unin- peachable integrity; they are familiar with the various road problems in the county, and they will undoubtedly handle the affairs of their. office in a satls- factory manner.
 The members of the commits sion appointed by the supervi- sors are: John R. Hulet, Holbrook; w. H. Burbage, Winslow; J. J. Soumway. Taylor; John Nelson, Heber; E. J. Marty, Indian Wells.
