County Near the Great Coal Deposits

the railroad thru from White
River or Globe, Arizona, to Farm
ington, New Mexico, opening up
and developing the vast coal beds
and mineral resources along thru
the whole territory will make of
the whole section one of the most
active industrial regions of the
United States.
Already several hundred acres
of laud have been purchased by
the Apache railroad company ad-
joining Holbrook to accommodate
the treating plants for ties, min
ing timbers and such.
What is proposed to be the
largest saw mills in the world
will be built and operated in the
White mountains some where
near the terminus of the Apache
railroad. One thousand or more
men will be required to operate
the mills. Several hundred men
will be required at the treating
plant at Holbrook.
Surely, the future the i'm
mediate future-of the whole
section from the White mountains
in Arizona to Pennington, New
Mexico, is soon to become very
active.
With what we have already in
sight in Navajo county, especi-
ally the southern part, we look
toward to the most prosperous
and busiest section of the entire
Rocky Mountain region.

many new ideas this year and is
now in possession Of knowledge
that will enable him to do better
work in the future. Mr.. Larson
is strong for the Navajo county
fair to be held at Snowflake dur
ing the fall Of 1918. He realizes
that this. county mnst have the
fair and that it should be started
as early in the New Year as pos
sible in order to be thoroly organ
lied before it is time to begin
selecting exhibits. And, Mr..
Larson is absolutely correct when
he says that the association must
bI organized on strictly business.

should be from men who will ap-
preciate the Importance Of con-
Quoting the fair along business
lines, with system. rules, regula-
tions, and all for success.

Keep in Mind the Red Cross Ben

Friday Night, November 80. The
Committee in Charge of the Pro
gram Pomises Something Unu-
sually Interesting and Profitable

When this European war broke
out Englishmen bet 2 to l that
the Germans wouldn't hold out
two months. Later they were
betting that the Germans couldn't
hold out till the spring of 1916.
Since that time all bets were
called off. See how hard it has
been for Englishmen to wake up?
Yet, right now, Gen. Haig is be-
ing opposed for his war methods,
and he has killed more Germans
than any other English general.

Murguia's Howl

El Paso, Tex. Nov. II. : North
America does not need our pas
sive alliance. North: America
needs only our quota Of soldiers,
as its men are going to war not
singing the Marseillaise, but sor-
rowfully singing Home, Sweet
Home"
The foregoing is the opening
sentence of a manifesto, Aligned
by General Francisco Murguia,
commander of the Carranza army
in northern Mexico, hundreds of
copies of which were distributed
in Juarez.
''It would be the limit Of child
ishness, " the manifesto continues
ito believe that our joining the
entente would result in our in
debtedness to those nations be-
ing forgiven.
In this great war there can
be only neutrals and belIigerents.
We have been advised that so
long as we remain inactive we
shall lack money. The American
markets will be closed to us. We
will be denied food, and we will
be besieged by famine and misery
until we Sbandon our neutrality.
And flnally-and most important
when the time comes for peace
conferences, Mexico will have no
voice to counteract the power
vested in the United States by
triumphant Europe.
Let US then abandon all idea
of giving the entente our moral
support. America does not need
our moral support nor our pas
sive influence. Amer ca does
not need, as a matter of help,
our oil, our ores nor our hene-
quen. These they can obtain by
trade, and should we dare refuse
them, they would take them by
the right granted to a country in
war. What North America needs
is our men-our soldiers those
men we would be obliged to send
to Europe. And under what
conditions? Armed, attired and
equipped by North Americans,
and, to tell the truth, command
ed by North Americans.
The United States has only
been able to send ten per cent OF
the forces it promised to send to
Europe. To this end it has en-
listed the negroes, the aliens,
and most sorrowful-the Mexi-
cans. 1t knows it will have to
sacrifice a lot of lives and it is
clear that it wishes to sacrifice
everybody but their own coun-
trymen.
The national feeling Of Amer
leans is opposed to the war. The
anti-war propaganda in America
has reached the hearts of the
people.
ITO think that we would re-
ceive foodstuffs. money, etc., in
exchange for our moral support,
and in return for the mere act OF
severing relations with Germany,
to please the United States, is
simply childish. 1t is the limit
of foolishness to think that when
peace come, England, France and
the United States would forgive
our Indebtedness in appreciation
of our simplicity in joining the
entente. -
