 led with spring flowers, made
 the rooms very attractive. Mrs. J. H. Scorse made high Score at cards, the consola-
 tion falling to Mrs. Close.
 At the close of the afternoon
 dainty refreshments were
 served. One of the series
 was a thimble party last
 week, and another was an
 auction bridge party last Saturday afternoon when
 Mrs. L. M. Reynolds made high score and Mrs. c. R.
 Kelly low.
 Sixty-five parcels of state land were sold last Monday at auction in front of the court house in Holbrook. This land comprised the townsite of St. Joseph and some larger tracts adjacent. The sale was conducted by w. R. Evants and Geo. A. Macdonald representing the state land department. In every instance the land was sold to the owner of the inn provements thereon. The sale was finished in about an hour. Many of the resi- dents of St. Joseph were present and bid in the land for themselves; others were represented by agents.
 If any readers of the News doubt the correctness of the statement made last week as to the method necessary to disincorporate a town, we suggest that they read the statute governing incorpo- rated towns. The board of county supervisors can not disincorporate; a majority of the resident taxpayers must vote for disincorpora- tion, andthe board then disin- corporate the old incorpora- tion and forms a new incor-- poration. The new incor- poration is governed by trustees instead of council men. That's all.
 Harvey Moore returned Tuesday night from Albu- querque where he had spent ten days in the hospital un- dergoing treatment for an injury to his right eye. The injury was received while repairing Postal Telegraph wires near Williams and was caused by the end of a wire striking his eyeball. MT. Moore is compelled to wear a bandage over his eye, but the sight was not effect ed and his complete recovery is but a question of time.
 A number of prominent woolgrowers of this county, who have wintered their focks in the Salt River val ley, have been in Holbrook during the week, preparing to move their sheep to their summer ranges. Among those here were w. w. Newman, Geo. Wilber, John Nelson and B. B. Newman.

 passed examination at E

 the youngest of the three re.

 boy 16 years old that was accepted by the navy. Post master Osborne has received notice that the age limit has been raised to IF years and no more recruits under that age will be accepted.
 Freight Brakeman Creager was killed Wednesday morn ing when his train was near Adamana. No one saw the accident and it was not known that the brakeman had been killed until the freight train reached Hol- brook. Here a message was received by Conductor Ser vice who was in charge of the train that the body of Creager had been found by section men at Adamana. It is supposed that the brake man was hanging from the steps of a car looking for a hot box and was struck by a culvert.
 M. A. Candelaria, wealthy wool grower at Concho, ar rived in Holbrook Thursday morning from Albuquerque, where he had been summon ed to attend the funeral of his uncle, Ambrosio Cande- laria, who died at his home in that city last Monday. The deceased was 49 years old and had lived in Albu- querque for ten years, going there from Concho, where he amassed a fortune in the sheep business. He is sur vived by a widow, two sons and four daughters.
 The Coconino Sun mailed with it's regular edition last week, which by the way was a hummer, an American flag suitable for display in the home or on a window of the home. The present was no doubt greatly appreciated by those who received it, and it will be used as the patriotic publisher of the Sun intend ed it to be used.

 Methods of Coercion Attempted
 The News lost two sub- scribers this week; one of the subscribers was also a regular advertiser and his advertisement was likewise ordered out of the paper. The reasons given by the two men for the withdrawal of their business from the paper is that owing to the license tax fixed by the town council they can not stand the expense of subscribing to the paper. The real req son why these two men with drew their business from the paper is that they desire to punish the owner for the part he took in getting the town incorporated, and the part he is taking in trying to prevent it's disincorporation. The only method such peo- pie know of inficting punish ment is an attack on a per sons pocketbook.
 The men we refer to as withdrawing their business from the News are A. c. Hall, manager of the Hol- brook bakery, and w. War ren, the blacksmith. The license fixed by the council on a bakery is $1.00 per quarter, or $4.O0 per year. The license on blacksmith shops is $1.50 per quarter, or $500 per year. Of course this is a ruinous tax and no blacksmith nor baker can afford to pay it!
 Hall and Warren were bitterly opposed to incor- porating the town, a n d fought the proposition with all their puny strength. Nat urally they would take the initiative in trying to disin- corporate, and in starting a petition for that purpose. That they secured any fol- lowing at all is surprising.
 The strongest argument that can be made for incor- poration is that such men as these oppose it. They do not want a clean and beauti- full town; they would not feel at home in such a place, and they will move out when the town begins to take on modern improvements an other argument why modern improvements should b e hastened.
 We grant to every adver- tiser and subscriber of the News the right to discontinue his advertisement or sub- scription when he pleases. If he is not getting value for his advertising, or does not care to read the paper, we want him to feel perfectly free to stop it. But the thing

NATIVES
 WANT LAW AND ORDER

DOUGLAS, The bone dry" Indians Of Douglas, among whom are Henry Stevens, Jimmy Fox, Ed. Marshall, Dan Joseph, Dick Smith, David Charles, (citizen )and Paddy Brady, as well as many other progressive natives on the island, are anxious to see the ap- continent of a bone dry marshal for the beach district in Douglas. The appointment of One ot the above men mentioned to act in an official capacity, would, 1t is be- lieved by many good citizens here, have a tendency 10 eliminate much of the lawlessness throughout the beach district which has caused so much trouble of late. The progress i've natives state that any native woman caught going to cabin where liquor could be procured, would be subject to arrest immed. lately, and the native marshal, be- ing familiar with the people and
 residents of the district, would have a better opportunity of stopping the lawiess conditions now prevail
