LINDEN

Linden was first settled about the
year 1885 by nice little community
of fifteen pioneer families. For a few
years they raised good crops and lived
happily, except for an occasional In
dian scare when the Apaches came
off the reservation on a plundering
spree. The settlers survived the In.
dians, as they were finally taken care
of by Uncle Sam and learned a better
way of living but when the drouth
came along, they lost heart and fol-
lowed the course of least resistance,
moving away to new and greener
fields
About ten years ago the second
corps of home builders commenced to
drift in and took up homesteads on
the abandoned ranches. Today near
ly all of the available land in the val
ley has been taken up and inclosed
under fences. Most of it is being cul-
tivated and is producing the best dry
land crops in the country, many times
the acreage being titled than formerly.
With their new methods of farming
the new comers are raising bumper

church and a public school building.
Many of the townsfolk have some very
modernly built residences that would
be credit to a much larger town.
The farming lands of the valley are
very productive and are mostly all un-
der the irrigation system, but there
is considerable dry land farming car
ried on very successfully in the vicin-
ity. Aside from the natural flow of
the creek the irrigation company owns
an interest in the Lakeside reservoir,
insuring ample water for the farms of
the valley during the dry seasons.
Many of the citizens are engaged in
the sheep and cattle business and
Craze their herds on the forest reserve
and the Apache Indian reservation, a
few miles to the south. AS rule the
stockmen in the vicinity are very
thrifty and have made considerable
money the last few years.

end of the town and markets consid-
cradle lumber during the year for To-
cal use and in the nearby towns.

come rusty. For the health seeker no
better place can be found. The sum-
mers are ideal and the winters are not
severe Notwithstanding the snow usu-
ally covers the ground about six weeks
during January and February.
The town supports two hotels, a
general store and an excellent public
school. The principal business is
farming, numbering and stock-raising
Like most mountaineers the men folk
work a little at each, but specialize
in nothing. But the farmers have a
we'll developed irrigation system and
are busily engaged in bringing a much
larger acreage under cultivation Dry
farming is also carried on very sue
cessfully to a considerable extent.
Products from both the irrigated and
dry farms of this place have taken
blue ribbons at the different state
fairs the last few years. The land is
cheap and there is ample room for a

seasons have not changed, but the
study of conditions has brought vic
tory to the husbandman.
Instead of the abandoned waste of a
few years ago the Linden valley now
presents a string of prosperous ranch
es with their well-tilled farms extend
ing up and down country for dis
tance of six or seven miles. At each
ranch is found a good supply of do
nestle animals running about the
barnyard, with an occasional canine
to guard the poultry roost.

hut the numerous hOme-builders are
gradually crowding the stock back.
However, there is a large portion Of
the country to mountainous and too
denesly wooded to be valuable for any
kind of agriculture and there will al
ways remain a big country of grazing
lands sufficient to support a large
number of stock.
Forest ranger stations are located
every few miles through the section.
They are all connected with the towns
by telephone and are a great conven-
ience to the ranchers in transacting
their business.

LAKESIDE

Lakeside is the home of about three
hundred progressive country folk and
is the nearest neighbor to Pinetop on
the northwest. Except for few old
ranches, which have recently been
converted into productive farms, this
place is only in it's infancy, but already
it is one of the most thrifty communi
ties in the mountain region of the
county. Many beautiful homes are
located here, and the unexcelled sum-
mer climate makes the place a typi-
cal health resort. The large artificial
lake, from which the town gets its
name, has been stocked with rainbow
trout and now furnishes boating and

failing stream by that name 1t was
one of the first settlements in the
county and for many years was known
as the Huning ranch.
About fifteen years ago colony of
farmers purchased the place and en-
larged the irrigation facilities and
built it up until the town now has a
population of nearly five hundred peo-

New York City could be picked up
bodily and set down in the center of
its territory, tenderfoot would never
be able to find the town without the
aid of an Apache scout to pilot him.
Heber is bounded on the north by
Dry lake; on the east by the environs
of Pinedale; on the south bv the
Apache Indian reservation, and on the
west by the county boundary line. To
get around the territory of the city
one would need a grubstake sufficient
for several days travel, few pack
burros and mighty good guide. We
do not mean to say that all this vast
territory is built up with sky-scrapers
vying with the heads of the majestic
mountains for recognition before high
heaven, but we wish to explain that

main are many ranches and when two
or more are located within range of a
sixteen-inch gun, the owners get to-

town, but should they fail to meet an

PINETOP

Pinetop is located at the northern
gateway to Ft. Apache, in the top of
the White mountains at an altitude of
1900 feet 1t is a peaceful little ham
let of 800 people, situated in the heart
of the pine forest and derives it's
name from its location.
The residents obtain a livelihood by
farming, stock-raising, logging and
sawmilling. The lumber furnished
from the mills at this place has helped
build up the country from FIT. Apache
to Keams Canyon, and no impression
has been made on the supply. The
cutting of shingles is the most COM
mon industry. The hum of the mills
can be heard in all parts of the town.
Steam is the usual power. but if any
thing goes wrong with the machinery,
the ranchers jack up the hind wheel
Of a Ford and attach a belt to it, and
the saw proceeds with the business.
This sort of power is sometimes used
by the mountaineers as a handy means
of saving fuel wood for the house
The farms produce in abundance all
of the crops of grain, vegetables and
roots adapted to the high altitude
Failures are never known. Some or
the farms are irrigated, but most OF
them are dry land. Water for irriga-
ton as well as culinary purposes is
obtained from the Showlow creek. 1t
is reported to be SO per cent pure,
and for washing very little soap, if
any, is ever used.
The town supports two general
stores, a hotel and a we'll attended
public school. The health of the peo-
pie is exceptionally good the year
round. The nearest doctor is located
at Ft. Apache, distance of thirty
miles, and he is seldom called.
During the summer months many
people from the lower country make
Pinetop their headquarters, with their
tents pitched in the nearby woods. The
hunting of some kind of game is good
at all times of the year, and during
the open season in the summer the
famous mountain trout fishing on the
White river is only an hours drive
away.
Only the choicest pieces of land
have been taken by homesteaders in
this section and there is plenty of
room for hundreds of more home
builders.

much larger population The town be
ing located in the pine timber bolt,
the lumber business supplies labor
for large number of workmen. A
market for the product is found in the
various towns of the county, and the
only complaint at the mill is that the
days are too short to make any i'm
preston on the supply of logs avail-
able for the saw
Good ranges in the vicinity afford
grazing for large number of sheep
and cattle. A few stockmen special
ize in either sheep or cattle, but most
of the farmers own a few stock cattle
that run loose on the range and
dairy herd that furnishes milk in the
summer and are pastured through the
winter in the lowlands.
The Snowflake herald., 1918-12-20

for grazing make the resources Of the
town very great, and, Notwithstanding
the many improvements during the
last few years, the community may ex-
pect to make greater advancement in
the future than it has in the past.

CLUB SCHOLARSHIPS
VACANT Al WINTHROP.
Here's an Educational Chance for
Some Deserving Girls-C0ndi-
tiOns Governing Applications.

One federation scholarship will be
vacant at Winthrop for next fall, as
Miss Kate LaBoon OF Anderson, our
senior scholarship girl, was gradual
ed last week. Examination for this
vacancy must be taken at the county
court house on July S, with regular
winthrop scholarship examinations.
The scholarship gives tuition and
500 additional for board.
Applicants must be at least 16
years of age, unable to pay for col
lege course and not have previously
attended college. Application should
be made in writing to me at once,
accompanied by letter from applicant
stating details of circumstances and
previous schooling. Application must
be accompanied by Endorsement from
president of local club and one min
lister.
District vice presidents and club
presidents are asked to give this no
tice wide publicity. Have it copied in
your county papers that it may be
brought to notice of deserving girls.
Also please explain to applicants
that this scholarship may possibly be
for one year only. At the next con-
vention plans will be unfolded look
ing toward the creation Of students
loan fund. which may take the place
of the present method of giving
scholarships outright; or it may be
that at that time it will seem wise to
retain the four scholarships at Win
throp and establish the loan fund in
addition. That is all up to the next
convention. However. we do not wish
any girl to take this scholarship un-
der misunderstanding concerning
its continuance.
Very soon l hope to present a
statement of the educational depart
ment at the present time, giving col
ing colleges at which there are now
federation scholarships, names and
classes of girls holding the same.

10 nevertheless entered upon In =
sporting spirit. When races between
the rival crews of the big warships
are pulled off. there is wild enthu-
siasm and strong betting.
Among less strenuous amusesaents
inging holds first place In the navy.
Upon every man Of war there are a
number Of men who can sing, some
who can play instruments, and few
who do not attempt one Or the other.
And music is an aid to work as well
as means OF passing spare time.
When q ship is being coaled the band
usually plays. and the fuel goes ov-
erside in a jiffy to the rhythem and
swiwng of some tune that every man
can sing.
Quartettes are as common in the
navy as cornet players in a country
town. Not long ago a group of naval
officers of high rank were being en-
tertained, and a Quartette from one
of the vessels formed a part of the
program. The skill of these singers
was surprising. After they had fin
ished a gentleman went to the ledd-
ed, explained that he had been in the
show business, mad wanted to know
where these men had acquired such
unusual attainments.

John Phillip Sousa has been es-
pecially successful in finding and de-
veloping musical talent among the
sailors. AT the Great Lakes training
station he organized a band of three
hundred pieces that is praised by the
knowing. and he now has over a
thousand naval recruits on the lakes
organized into bands.
The Great Lakes recruits further
distinguished themselves by staging
a sailor written and sailor played
musical comedy, which achieved a
genuine success in the Chicago thea
tire, and even won words of praise
from the professional critics. A SINH
lar show was put on at the Century
theatre in New York by the men
from the Pelham Bay station. 1t
went over with a biff bang-which
was the name of the play.
The navy seems to be rich in Jazz
band talent, and, strangely enough,
Boston, the highbrow city, is espec-
tally prolific of jazzers, for it recent
ly sent out as a recruiting station
stunt a naval jazz band that literally
made the whole country yell with
delight. 1t played four weeks in
vaudeville during the last Liberty
loan, and wherever it appeared the
money simply poured over the foot
lights. Its last appearance was at
Keith's. in Washington, d. c., dur
ing the final week of the drive, and
it caused such excitement and en-
thusiasm that this house was able to
set the world high water mark for
Liberty loan subscriptions received
in theater.
The value of music in the navy is
fully appreciated by it's officers. One
captain when asked recently If he
could use any more men on his ship,
replied: You might send me a cou-
pie of ukelele players, second class"

How the Navy Plays.

Washington, D. c., June 1O.-So
much has been written and said
about keeping the fighting man
amused the impression is apt to get
Iabroad that he is incapable of anus
ing himself. OF the navy especially
this would be untrue. For while the
cars are keenly appreciative Of all
tn eshows and lectures and magazin-
es and concerts and movies which
have been provided for them by a
generous government, and a still
more generous public, they are by
habit to a great extent independent
of these things. This reat and COM
mendable movement for keeping the
recruit amused is comparatively new,
but the navy has long since solved
the problem of how to have good
time, no matter where it is.
For while the sailors day of leis-
ure may be spent in London or
Paris or Hongkong, they as often
occur when the nship is at anchor off
some coaling station among a popu-
lation of natives, or in a port that is
quarantined. Hence the navy has
|
1T sown resources for diversion And
the new recruits have quickly caught
the idea
An old tar, looking over a room
full of naval resrves, remarked ::
Throw bucketful of salt water into
that room, and the whole blooming
lot Will be seasick in a jiffyy."
! And he may have been right at
the time. But these men not only got
used to the ways of the sad sea
waves, but also to those of the Jolly
men that sail them. For the navy has
a tradition of cheerfulness The hap
py firin is it's insigne. The nay has
been decorated with a smile for
learning how to have fun under try
ing conditions.
The fundamental principle of the
navy's method Of amusing itself is
that a shipload of men will include,
by the law averages, many differ
ent kinds of talent This talent is
sought out with systematic care, de-
veloped, and used far all it is worth.

ITO prove his assertion for boxing is
one Of the navy's standard sports,
and it has developed some men who
would show to good advantage in
the professional ring if they chose to
enter it.
Baseball is another game that
stands high i'm the estimation of the
sailor man. At a training station
near Washington, there are a dozen
baseball diamonds laid out side by
side. and all OF them are kept busy
most of the time. Here the naval re-
cruit with an aptitude for the nation
al game gets into trim to uphold the
honor of his ship against the teams
from other vessels. His athletic in.
struction is as systematic and thor.
ough as that in his profession. fol

Pretty soon the cook poked his head in the door and shouted: "Hey.

 Without a word in reply I got busy with the mud. and soon my dixie was bright and shining.
 Most of the afternoon was spent by the men writing letters home. I used my spare time to chop wood for the cook and go with the Quartermaster to draw coal. I got back just in time to Issue our third meal, which consisted of hot tea. I rinsed out my dixie and returned 1t to the cookhouse, and went back to the billet with an exhilarated feeling that my days labor was done I had fallen asleep on the straw when once again the cook appeared in the door of the billet with: ''Blime me, you Tanks are lazy. Who in - a-goin' to draw the water for the mornin' tea Do you think I'm a-goin' to? Well, I'm not" and he left. filled the dixie with water from an old squeaking well, and once again laX down in the straw.
