the men who did these things reward
ed? Well, guess they were many fold.
Most of you, I am sure, will admit
that the enterprise that | have or
ganized and am responsible for will
do as much for Lakeland and the sur
rounding country as any that could
be organized The raw materials are
here in abundance, and most of them
are complete loss to the growers.
The market is unlimited and the prof
its are as sure as any human enter
prise can be. We came among you
in the frankest way to make our home,
cur past life and work an open book,
and expected thorough investigation
by some organization or committee,
who would recommend our efforts to
the people of Lakeland. We believed
our enterprise merited this very thing.
The company's stock was placed be-
fore the people of Lakeland and if |
took the financial backing I have re-
ceived as indicative of the feeling
Lakeland has for us, we certainl.

feel, however, that the good people of
Lakeland don't appreciate what sue.
cessful enterprise of the character Of
ours would mean to the city. l will
not say more on this subject now al
though | assure you would like to,
for | am sure we can all see of what
great benefit az large working popula-
ton would be to this particular Sec
ton.
If the farmer could market a large
part of his crops in our city instead
of having to take the chance of ship
ing them thousand miles to an en-
tire stranger, would he not have
Igreater incentive to work. The
growth of our city will surely be Of
the greatest benefit to our surround
Ing country. And how can it grow
permanently without permanent resi-
dents. And how can we expect per.
manent residents without giving them
an opportunity to make living All
we need is some good, hard work, the
whole city pulling together, putting
out these petty jealousies, every one
working for the benefit of all. be-
lieve we could get almost anything
within reason il this was done. I
thank you.

SHUM WAY

Shumway is pretty little village
of one hundred and fifty people nes-
tied in cove on Silver creek, seven
miles south of Snowflake. The rip
pling creek at this place furnishes the
best waterpower to be had in the
country and for that reason the only
flour mill in the county and the Snow
flake and Taylor electric lighting
plant are located here. They are both
owned and operated by the Snowflake
and Taylor Irrigation company.
The people are farmers and truck
gardeners The farms are small and
well irrigated and have the appear
ance of thrifty garden spots. Most of
the people also have large orchards
and supply a great amount of fruit
marketed in the other towns of the
county. The fruits best adapted to the
country are apples, peaches, pears,
plums and currants. On account of
the place being we'll protected from
the late frosts by the high mountains
around the town, the crops are quite
sure, but an occasional late cold wave
in the spring kills some of the bios
SONS.
The people are thrifty have good
homes and are living comfortably The
town has a general store, a family no
tel, where travellers can stop, and a
good school house that is also used
for church services.

Although it has been the object of

have been very careful in not spend

idea of dollar economy has been stud

desires and the architects studies
along this line are evident from the
fact that the average cost per class

SNOWFLAKE STATE ACADEMY

The Snowflake State Academy is
the Oldest secondary school in Navajo
county, and possibly the oldest in
Northern Arizona, having been founded
January q, 1889. Like the first sec
ondary schools of America, of which
the Boston Latin School was the
pioneer, the Snowflake State Academy
aims to prepare "for service in church
and commonwealth" but unlike them,

six hundred.

of Snowflake, and for thirty-five years
The Snowflake herald., 1918-12-20
PINEDALE

Pinedale was one of the earliest set
Elements in the county. 1t is located
in the mountain about twenty miles
southwest of Snowflake. The town
proper is very pretty place, but to
meet all the people one would have to
travel through the woods for several
miles. Nearly five hundred people
claim the place as their home address,
but only about half the number live
within the town limits. Those resid-
ing on nearby ranches send their chill
dren to town for school, and come
themselves to transact business and
attend church. Others who reside in
the vicinity, but too far away to reach
town conveniently, have small schools
organized for the few families who
may be living closely together Like
wise, small post offices are organized
for their convenience.
The town proper has fine school
building that is a credit to the place,
and it supports a good store and
family hotel, where the traveller may
be taken care of. Some little stores
are located outside the town at con-
venient road crossings for the country
folks to do their shopping.
Farming is the chief business, but
many are engaged in the cattle and
sheep industries. There are no perma-
nent streams to afford water for irri-
cation purposes, but the dry farms are
very productive and yield about as
we'll as some of the irrigated farms
in the other parts of the country.
Since the farmers have made a thor
-ough study of the soil and climatic
conditions very few crop failures are
reported, while in former years
shortage often occurred. During the
last few years a great rush has been
made by homesteaders to secure lands
in the district. The choicest tracts
have all been taken, but there are still
many thousands of acres of valuable
land that may be secured by quail
fled homesteaders looking for farms.
This section has been one of the
best grazing districts in the country,
The Snowflake herald., 1918-12-20

has been vying with that place for inn
portance on the map with splendid
success. 1t is built on both sides of
the creek, with a good bridge span
ming the river. The church and school
buildings are located on the east side
and the business houses on the west
The town is centrally located in an
ideal place to handle the business
drifting down the mountain from the
southern end of the county, and may
some day take the lead in that respect.
The people are engaged in farming
and stock-raising. The farms are un-
der the Snowflake and Taylor irriga-
never a crop failure. Garden truck is
raised by nearly every family on the
city lots in abundance. The streets
are laid out at right angles, with four
lots of about an acre each to the block.
Part of the town, which includes the
business section, is above the ditch,
where no vegetation is grown, as dry
farming has never proved much of
success. Many of the people move to
the mountains in the summer, where
they have ranches and stock to care
for, returning home in the fall of the
year to take advantage of the splendid
school facilities The academy at
Snowflake affords high school advan-
tages for the students completing the
eighth grade Of the public schools.
The town has two stores, hotel, a
good public school building, a large
brick church with seating capacity
of over five hundred, and nice roomy
amusement hall The residences are
very much of a sameness with those
of the other towns in the country.
Most of them are surrounded with or
chards and gardens. Shade trees line
most of the streets. Many of the early
buildings are being replaced with
modern homes, and Improvements are
always in vogue. Wells supply good
water for culinary purposes, and fuel

The teaching staff measures up to

A full, four-year high school course

NEE TING DEFERRED
SIXTH DISTRICT DEMOCRATS ARE
AFRAID OF THE DARK.

Sixth District democrats postponed
a meeting that was to have been held
in Oskaloosa today, Saturday. March
is, TO the general or democratic state
conference now set for Des Moines,
March %.
George w. Godfrey, district chair
man, of Abba, called a meeting for
Ottumwa for Friday, March Is, for
the purpose of obtaining a. line on the
disposition of the district relative to
organization and candidates for the
primaries. So many things were
contingent upon arrangements made
by the state officials. however, that
the meeting was turned over to Oska-
loosa to be held today, Saturday. The
state meeting and conference, to
make unofficial selection of candi-
dates for state ticket. was postponed
from next Thursday, March 81, to
week later, March 2S, and then came
the decision that all district meet
ings could be held to better advan-
tage at Des Moines, where the small
er conferences could have the advan-
tage of the advice and presence of
the state leaders. Hence the dis
trict meeting was postponed until the
big state conference at Des Moines.
1t is said that the Sixth district
democrats see a CLEAN of light in the
direction of obtaining a congression-
al representative from this section
of the state this fall. Some differ
ences of opinion have arisen among
the faithful as to the qualifications
and calibre of the timber available.
The party ranks are by no means
unit upon this district candidacy, the
house appears to be divided against
itself and the hope of obtaining I'M
Ierstandings and a more harmonious
feeling may have had something to do
with the postponement of the meet
ings from Ottumwa and Oskaloosa.
