WILL SET new STATE RECORD
Committees to BE Named Today and
Work Of Organizing for Big Coming
Of the Wisconsin Veterans Will Go
Forward Without Delay.

1T is a long while till the first week
in June of next year but veterans of
the Civil war in KenOsha and Kenosha
county started this afternoon to make
plans for the entertainment of the
fifty-first annual encampment of the
Department of Wisconsin of the Grand
! Army of the Republic which is to be
held in Kenosha the first week of June
next year. Pursuant to call by G. r.
Stem, Commander of the Fred s.
Lowell Post of the Grand Army, many
veterans from the city and county met
at the Post hall to start the ball roll
ing. The plans for the entertainment
OF the state veterans are as yet in
embryo but it is expected that within
q month the program will be outlined
sufficiently to make some announce
ments to the public. There is strong
probability that this will be the last
general reunion of the Wisconsin veter-
ans Of the war of '61-'6 and for this
reason the Kenosha Grand Army men
want it to be one of the most memoir
able gatherings of the veterans ever ar
ranged for in this or any other state.
The general committee to have charge
Of the work will probably be named
at the session this afternoon and a dozen
auxiliary committees will be named
later on. Kenosha people are going to
hear the call to patriotic action and
every one is going to aid the veterans
in the entertainment of the guests. 1t
Is expected that pretty close to a thou

APACHE RAILWAY.

It has been said, ''That all things come to those who wait' !, We might add that perseverance and persistent effort will finally win, but be that as it may we are in receipt of information which leads us to believe and rejoice that Apache county will, in the very near future, have her wealth very materially increased.
 The articles of incorporation and bylaws for a corporation named the Apache Railway Com pany have been drawn and will build a railroad seventy-one and one half miles long from HolbrOok in Navajo county, running thru Snowflake. Taylor and up Silver Creek and to Cienega in Apache county.
 Arrangements for floating bonds have been made and will be handled by The Santa Fe Rail- road, so the proposition is sure to go through.
 Cross-sectioning has started on the railroad work, and the object of the railroad is to get into the timber belt in the southwest cor ner of Apache county. The lum- Der mills and all the better part of the business will center in Apache county, as will also the most of the cutting area. This means that a good sized town will be added to Apache county. It will be about thirty miles from Springerville. t. The addition of this town to our county will great ly increase the cash market for the immense crops, etc. raised in the county.
 In giving this information to our readers we are not blowing off hot air, but are giving you straight reliable news.

POSTMASTER C. SCHEELE
 DEAD. 4

In small town in Germany fifty-six years ago, Postmaster c. Scheele first opened his eyes in this big wide world of ours and was the cause of much rejoicing in his parents home.
 At the age of 33 he left his na- tive country and sought to make his fortune in the United States arriving here in 1884.
 For a number of years he was engaged in the mercantile busi- ness at points in New Mexico and held many positions of trust in mercantile houses. He was an expert accountant and his services were greatly appreciated by those who were fortunate enough to secure them.
 Prior to his coming to St. Johns, in the year 1909, he was employ ed by the Becker Mercantile com- pany at SpringerYille, but left there and come to St. Johns in 1909 and entered the service of A. & B. Schuster as bookkeeper. For a number of years he held this position and after the death of Benj. Schuster he was placed in charge of the A. &. B. Schus- ter Co.'S. store of this place, which trust he held until his duties as postmaster become so heavy that he was obliged to resign his posi- tion with the company and attend strictly to the post office.
 About a year ago his health be- gan to fail, slightly at first, but during the past six months he failed rapidly. He sought a cure among eminent physicians but they could do nothing for him as he was suffering from Brights Disease.
 Monday morning Mr. Scheele was unable to attend to bis duties as postmaster and Wednesday morning at 2 o'clock his spirit left its earthly tabernacle.
 Mir. Scheele married Maria Heymer in 1902 and from that marriage five children were e brought into this world, four of whom with the mother are left to mourn his untimely death.
 The sympathy of the entire community goes out to Mrs. Scheele and children in their sad bereavement.
