BABBITT BROTHERS BUT
 PHOENIX SCHOOL SITE

Mystery no longer enshrouds the identity of the Arizona Products com pany, purchaser of the Central school lot. The aforesaid company is none other than Babbitt Brothers, the well known Flagstaff millionaires.
 This was given out late Friday by two of the brothers, William and c. J. Rabbit who have been in the city several days. They have been in the country all day and announcement of their future plans, in connection with the valuable property was not obtain able from them, while their represent ative during the negotiations for the purchase of the lot, said he had noth- ing further to add than has been al- ready told.
 The second payment of $29,0O0 is due on April 2, and it'is presumed that it is in connection with the mak- ing of ths payment that the two brothers of the firm are visiting Phoenix.
 No one authorized to make any defi- nite statement concerning their future plans, or to say whether there has been any change from their previous ly announced intention, to erect a five story building on the entire lot could be found today.--Phoenix Gazette.

PREVENTION OF TYPHOID
 BY J. $. MEDICAL EXPERT

To be the consort of a queen, to be beloved by her people both high and low, to be the real but unobserved ad- wiser of the affairs of an empire, these are achievements worth while. To be cut off from all of them at the prime age of 42 by wholly prevent able disease seems wanton. "The good Prince" Albert, consort of Queen Victoria, patron of the arts and sciences, a skillful administrator and an upright man was sacrificed to a filth disease.
 Typhoid fever is found only in man. It is caused by short rod-shaped mic roscopic vegetable, which enters the body through the mouth and leaves it in human discharges to enter fluids and food. It is essentially a disease of young adult life. Older people are less apt to have it probably because they have suffered from an attack of the disease in their youth.
 Typhoid fever is known by various names, "slow fever" "low fever" but whatever name it is called by it kills about 8TS of those whom it attacks. A certain percentage of those who recover become carriers, that is, per- sons who though we'll excrete the organisms of the disease in their dis charges. Carriers are largely re- sponsible for the perpetuation of ty- phoid fever, but the installation of proper sewer systems which not only take away noxious wastes but also do . not deposit them in some one elses water supply, the abolition of flies, coclroaches, and other filth insects, the maintenance of a pure food sup ply, and measures which will rid us from this disease. Until very recent ly typhoid has been the scourge of armies but now the anti-typhoid in oculation has reduced this danger to minimum.
 The Prince Consort was universally mourned. The grief of the queen was deep and lasting and the whole nation sympathized in the truest sense with her in her sorrow. How many other widows of less exalted position mourn auso because of the rapacity of ty- phoid fever?

HOW PIONEER NAMED
 THE TOWN 0f SH0WLOW

The Navajo county papers an- nounce the death of Charles c. Cool ey, on his well known ranch, at the age of 81 years. Colonel Cooley was one of the most unique characters in the history of Northern Arizona, and life of early days in and about Camp Apache is replete with stories regard ing him. Some of the most interest ing incidents narrated in Mrs. Sum- merhays' Vanished Arizona" and all Arizona histories, weave him in as a character.
 He came to Camp Apache in the eos and has lived in the vicinity ever since, making his home at Showlow ranch from the early 70's until 1889, when he lost 1t in an unfortunate partnership with Henry Tuning. In 1889 he moved onto the Apache In- dian reservation, being allowed to do so because of his Indian wife. He then located the excellent ranch on which he has spent his 2S declining years and on which he died.
 Thirty years ago, when Apache county and Navajo county were all one and St. Johns the county seat, Col. Cooley was a familiar figure on our streets. His ability as story teller and joker made him one of the great centers of attraction during court weeks" of the old days. He will perhaps be longest remembered because of a seven-up game of cards he played with his partner-Clark by name--to determine which of the two should own all of the ranch they owned jointly. The winning turned on who had made the point How" in the closing hand when Clark said, "Show low and take the ranch" Mir. Cooley showed "low," took the ranch and named it the Showlow ranch which later became Showlow town.
 Mir. Cooley has been an invalid for seven years past because of a para lytic stroke. He was buried with military honors in the military ceme- tery at Ft. Apache. One by one these intensely interesting figures of our early life leave us. The conditions that produced them can never produce any more of their kind. To their
