State Will Lend Money
 to Complete Lyman Dam

to Complete Lyman Dan
 Through the efforts of Judge D. J. Thomas. cashier of the M CT hants & Stockgrowers bank of Holbrook and vice presi- dent of the St. Johns State Bank, and MT. M. P. Peterson, a large land owner in the St. Johns dis trict, the Lyman dam will be completed with money loaned the farmers in the district by the state.
 Messers Thomas and Peterson were in Phoenix last Friday and spent some hours in consultation with the state land board and the state land commissioners. They were given assurances that the $75, ,OOO applied for by the farmers in the Lyman district will be loaned provided the esti- mate made by the contractor on the dam is found to be cor rect.
 Lamar Cobb, formerly state engineer, was selected by the state land board to visit the Ly- man dam and make a report on the proposition. MT. Cobb ar rived in Holbrook Tuesday morn ing and left shortly afterwards for St. Johns. Undoubtedly his report will coincide with the es- innate of Engineer Hinderlider, who is in charge of the construc- tion work on the Lyman dam, and the loan will be made at once.
 The original Lyman dam which irrigated the lands of thIs dis trict went out during the high water of the spring of 1915, with in a few days of the date of the first overfoTing of the Roosevelt dam, to commemorate which there was a huge celebration in Phoenix and other towns in the state. At that time there were about 12,000 acres watered by the Lyman dam project.
 With no water to irrlgate their farms the farmers of the St. Johns district suffered extreme ly, being able to raise only what little that could be done by dry farming. The condition of some of those farmers became so seri- ous that it was necessary for the state to go to their relief.
 According to the plans of the new project there will be about 15, 900 acres watered from the Lyman dam. The visit of Lamar Cobb, state special engineer. to that district will be practically the last step before the money to complete the project will be- come available. the succeeding ones of acting on the application and making the loan being mere routine concerning which there will be no hitch.
 The action of the state loan board and the land commission means much, not only to the farmers of the St. Johns district, but to the whole state, as by the completion of the large project more than 15. 900 acres of some of the finest land in Arizona is made highly productive again and materially increases the value and amount of the states agricultural output.
 It is estimated that the new project will be completed in six months.

Work Progressing on Court House

Work Progressing on Court House
 The walls of Apache county's new court house are completed to the floor on the second story, with the exception of the jail. Work is progressing nicely on the upper story. MT. Miller shows marked ability in the handling of men. Every man on the job is steady at work all the time. no idleness in any place. There seems to be enough men to keep the wheels rolling without stop or hitch anywhere.
 The building when completed will be another monument of good work for the citizens of Apache County. St. Johns Her aid.

 Then they all wanted to be queen, but the boy fairies said they wanted to have a king as well.
 So again the fairies went to the bird and said. please tellus who to mnke queen. The bird made answer and said, "The one that grieved the most over Queen Kilo's death is sure to be the head fairy.

 A few of the owners of livestock in Holbrook persist in violating the law prohibit ing the running at large of stock. Several nights this week horses have done con- siderable damage to trees and shrubbery and the men who turned them out should be made to pay for it. It is not possible for the marshal to patrol the town every night and run in the stock found loose in the streets; of the people obey the law and keep their stock confined, but some seem to take special delightin break ing the law. For these a good medicine is a stiff fine in police court, and they will no doubt get a dose of it be- fore long

The result was that his car struck the handcar only hard enough to push it from the rails, doing only slight dam age to it. The only damage done the automobile was a bent fender.
