Boards disapproval of the pro-
posed increase in the National
Forest Grazing fees.
The Association directed the
Advisory Board to apply in the
name of the Showlow Stock
Growers Association, for a
membership in the American
National Live Stock Association
and also in the Arizona Cattle
mems Association. The scope of
the local association will be
greatly broadened by these
memberships, if secured. Under
such memberships, member of
the local association could qualify
as a delegate to the larger organ
izations and be present at their
meetings. Cooperation from
this section of the country would
then result in efforts to better
the livestock industry.
The Linden Stock Growers,
having been animated by the
success achieved by their neigh
bors, the ShowloW Stock Grow
er's Association, will meet at
the Showlow Ranger Station
early on the afternoon of Jan.
IL, 1917, for the purposes Of
effecting an organization.
1t is worth while to note that
the primary reason for the de-
mand for such an organization
arose from the benefits to the
ShOwloW stockmen resulting
from their organization, as seen
by Linden stockmen who are
honorary members of Showlow
Association. These honary mem
bers consistently attended and
entered spiritedly into the dis
cussions of the latter organiza-
tions meetings, a privilege which
is cordially extended to all inter-
ested in the welfare of the stock
industry.
All parties insterested in the
Linden range are invited to
attend the Linden meeting at
the ShowloW Ranger Station,
Friday afternoon, Jan. IL, 1917.

ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT
The Project Being Revived
for Snowflake and Her
Sister Towns.

Revival of the electric light
plant for Snowflake is growing
once more. It's coming. The
plant can be made to pay. Many
private or Individual ownership
electric light, power and water
plants are big dividend payers.
Many cities own their own plants
and make money and furnish
service cheaper than private or
individual plants.
In this day and time of pro-
gress, education and enlighten-
ment no city is up to date without
electricity, water and sewerage.
The convience enjoyed, CONNER
cial and sanitary benefits to be
derived are so great that no one
can establish any just grounds
for objections.
The Herald would like to see
the revival continue until we are
enabled to install motor power
for our printing press and lights
for the comfort of our workmen.

BUFFALO BILL DEAD.

Col. VIM. F. Cody, known the
world over as Buffalo Bill, is
dead.
The Old Scout surrendered to
the last enemy of an-death-
at the home of his sister in Den
yer, Jan, 10, after a few weeks
of illness, in bis list year.
AS he had lived, so did he
meet death coolly and firmly.
He had spent a most remarkable
life as a typical frontiersman
and his passing marks the last
one of Americans wild west
characters. From this time on
Buffalo Bill will live in history
and the story of his life will ever
be of thrilling interest to the boys
of our land, in monumental
memory as the Old Scout.
Buffalo Bill was of Spanish
Irish-English extraction. He
was in KANSAS, Wyoming, Idaho
and Nebraska in early childhood
and learned to be a crack-shot
before reaching his teens. Many
an Indian was dispatched to the
Happy Hunting Grounds" by
the deadly aim of his rifle. His
fathers death left young Cody,
only 10 yeats of age, at the head
of the family, and then it was
that the future great Buffalo Bill
began his career.
Buffalo Bills Wild West Shows
travelled the world over. His
name became a household famili-
arity throughout the civilized
world.
Just before his death he was
baptised into the Catholic church
the faith of his wife. The
Episcopal ritual, the Elks' SER
vice, the Grand Army burial
rites and the Masonic Fraternity
will all be employed to do honor
to his interment, which will oc-
cur some time after a specially
prepared tomb is ready to receive
his ashes.

Pool Hall Opinion.
Editor Herald

Editor Herald
Last week l noticed an article
in your paper under the heading
Pool Hall Suggestions for
Ladies and Gentlemen"
Now, every one has his own or
borrowed opinion on matters of
this kind. have my own opinion
on the pool hall question and
desire to express it.
Until our homes, barnes and
out-buildings are made conven-
lent and lit up with electric
lights and our farms, fences and
streets greatly improved; until
our dams, reservoirs and bitches
are completed and cemented;
until our schools, churches, and
amusement halls are made COM
Portable, convenient, and beauti-
full, we have no time to spend in
pool halls.
In fact the pool room is a fine
place to get the heard earned
dimes of the widows son and
decoy the young and old away
from home to waste their time
in useless pleasure.
Two men were travelling thru
a town in the southeren part of
the state: One said to the other,
Jim, this d-town is finished. !"
"Why so?" Replied the other.
'1 haven't heard the sound of
hammer since we came into it. "
This same town was able to
support two pool halls which
were running at ''full blast" day
and night.
Now, | think a pool hall is a
poor finish to give to any town.
Let us have a music hall, a
reading room and pleasure re-
sort in every home and there
will be no need for pool halls.

From Albuquerque Journal.

From Albuquerque Journal.
The meetings of the Mexican
American joint commission have
been formally ended, and net
results of four months of worry
and useless wrangle may be
summed up as follows:
Carranza has won every con-
tention.
The commissioners recommend
and it is indicated that the
president will approve, the
withdrawal of General Pershing's
command from south of the
boundary.
The commissioners have re-
commended, and the president
will approve, the sending Of
Ambassador Fletcher to Mexico,
thus giving full recognition to
the Carranza government.
The order issued by Carranza,
to attack General Pershing's
forces if they moved south, east
or west, or in any direction
other than toward the border,
still stands.
No apology for the treacher-
Gus attack on the Americans by
the Carranza garrison at Parral,
or for the massacre at Carrizal
has been made.
There has been no agreement
for the protection of American
rights in Mexice, whether of
property or life.
This is dispassionate, un-
prejudiced summing up of the
conditions between the United
States and the Carranza govern
ment.

CONDEMNED ANIMALS
Killed by Order of Federal
Authority 50 Head
Executed.

Fifty-nine head of condemned
horses were destroyed Tuesday
and Wednesday of this week
under the direction and super
vision Of government and state
veterinary officials.
The animals had been kept
under quarantine in pasture un-
der the care Of State Quarantine
Officer w. w. Freeman Of Snow
flake.
An official report of the de-
struction follows:
The destruction of dourine
reactors commenced Tuesday.
Jan. 16, at $3.50 p. m. The diseas-
ed animals had been condemned
by U. S. Gov. authority, after a
positive result Of test of the blood
had been made by the Gov.
Laboratory at Washington. The
execution of the animals were
completed Wednesday at 11:50a.
M, and the work of destruction
was performed by DR.. L. F.
Schneider, inspector in charge Of
B. A. l., headquarters at Albu-
querque, N. NJ, DR.. w. E. Sew
erns, state veterinarian of Pheo-
nix, DR.. V. A. Dennis, inspector
for Apache and Navajo counties.
All animals having been previ-
ously appraised by DR.. V. A.
Dennis, representing the Gov. ;;
w. w. Freeman, for the S. @.
| L. R.; and N. A. Brimhall, act
ing in behalf of the owners of
the animals.
The question of re-embursing
the owners of the condemned
animals now comes up for settle
ment. Last spring the Gov.
agreed to be responsible for one
half of the expense incurred and
the Gov. is ready to pay that
one-half of the indemnity pro-
viding the State of Arizona will
enact legislative measure to
pay the other one-half.
The U. S. Gov. having made
such provision for re-emburs-
| ing the owners of the condemned
animals, it is now up to the
owners of the animals to take
the matter up with their repre-
sentative in the State Legislature
from Apache and Navajo counties
| in order to get a legislative en-
actment that will meet the U. 5.
Gov. half way and pay thesother
one-half of the amount Of appra-
ised value of the condemned
animals.
Under the direction of the Gov.
officials, w. w. Freeman now
has the big job of burning the
carcases. and this task is causing
Mr.. Freeman considerable con-
cern, as it is a mamoth under
! taking.
