Where the Allied Loans
Go

More people than you would believe
are under the impression that the
money which Uncle Sam is lending
to the Allies leaves America for ex-
penditure In Europe and other for
eign countries.
This Is a mistaken idea.
Virtually all of 1t is expended right
here at home for American produced
goods, munitions, and food stuffs.
Since the declaration Of war against
Germany on April 6, 1917, Congress
has authorized the lending of $1,000
100000 to the Allies, to be paid over
before July 1, 1918. Up to November
1. the Allies had received advances
aggregating 1881. 100000. They had
expended in America for supplies
$2,75S, 300 900, and had remaining to
their credit in the United States
treasury a balance of $932,5O0,OOO.
From April to November the Allies
had been borrowing from Uncle Sam
at the rate of approximately $5OO,OOO,-
900 a month.
And they had been spending it with
us almost as rapidly as they got 1t!
So the money which you put into
Liberty Bonds in the two preceding
campaigns has been trickling back
through channels of commerce in an
uninterrupted stream. What the Al
lies are not spending is being scat
tered by Uncle Sam, who is con-
fronted with the task of supplying
and caring for a developing army of
nearly 100000 men.
And so it will continue as long as
the war lasts. The men af1eld must
be supplied with munitions, clothing
and food. Every line of American
endeavor will profit. The larger the
bond sales. the greater the growth of
the Allied armies and their require
ments; the more tremendous the ex-
penditures.
Every dollar you put into Liberty
Bonds is an added stimulus to Amer
lean industry and American pros
perity.
Besides making more and more
certain the defeat of the Kalser,s
ambition to rule the world with MS
mailed fist.

Chief Engineer Farwen Ex-
plains Why the Location Of
Our Depot is the Best for All

Holbrook, Ariz., April IL, 1918.
Mr.. Samuel F. Smith, Snow
flake, Ariz.
Dear Sir:
You have called my attention
several times during the past
five or six weeks to the fact that
a considerable number of the
citizens of Snowflake are dis
satisfied with the contemplated
location of the Apache Railway
Company's depot at the town of
Snowflake, and that it is their
desire to have the site on either
side of Street B, the main road
between Snowflake and Taylor.
1t is the policy of this company
to cooperate with all the people
along the line of the railway in
all matters to their mutual ad-
vantage and, as to depot and yard
facilities, to so locate them that
the public will be served with
the greatest convenience and at
a minimum of expense
The site selected for the depot
at Snowflake is one block west of
the main Snowf1ake-Taylor road
and a cursory investigation of
the topography of the land along
our right of way through Snow
flake will eliminate any dissatis-
faction which your people may
have as to this location. 1t would
be impossible to locate the depot
east of the Snowfake-Taylor
road because of the necessary
grade of the railway at this point.
On the first block west of the
road, a draw or dry wash has
made it's way across the right OF
way, leaving not over 100 feet Of
level ground north of the track
and about $50 feet of level ground
on the south side, which of
course, is insufficient for our
needs. The cost of grading this
land to secure any considerable
area of level ground, would, at
this time, be prohibitive. Fur
thermore, in order to switch into
any house, industrial or other
side tracks from the east of this
location, it would be necessary
to stop all trains on our maximum
south bound grade, which is i'm
practical operation.
On the site selected, which is
of easy access to passengers,
there is a considerable stretch of
practically level ground, sufficient
for the economical handling OF
freight and for the location OF
industrial warehouses and other
features essential to both the
public and the railroad company.
If the depot were located on
the Snowflake Taylor road, the
public would suffer more or less
| inconvenience by switc h in g,
which is always annoying, even
when handled with the greatest
The Snowflake herald., 1918-04-19

We give publication in this
issue to a letter from Mr.. j. r.
Farwell, Chief Engineer of the
Apache Railway Co., concerning
the dissatisfaction among some
of our people as to the location
of the depot at Snowflake. We
believe the letter explains the
situation so that all objections
can be withdrawn. 1t is notice
able that where towns are locat-
ed just off railway lines so that
to give depot accommodations is
hardly practicable that such
towns are glad and more than
willing to accept a depot location,
no matter where, just so depot
is given. On the other hand,
it is again noticeable that with
towns located directly on rail-
way lines that the matter of
right-of-way and depot location
is a matter Of dissatisfaction to
quite number. In other words:
What we can't get we want and
will be satisfied with anything
so we get it; whereas, what we
want and can get we are mighty
darned hard to please with.

Snowflake has the nucleus for
the making of the prettiest city
in northern Arizona. We have
natural advantages that if taken
advantage of will make of Snow
flake one of the leading CONNER
cial cities of this section. No
matter how many hereabouts
who don't give the flip of the
finger for a railroad. There are
enough of us left with life enough
to embrace the opportunities as
they come knocking our way, bat
we must be up and doing. If
Snowflake is to profit by the op-
portunity now before US we have
no time to "Yawn at the Switch"
Snowflake should be the dis
tributing point for all of this
section, St. Johns and all. We
should have the cattle shipping
pens, ETC., but none of these
things are going to come and
throw themselves in our laps
Just because we are pretty"
and could be ''prettier" if we
would try. There are some
things we could be doing that
would be far more profitable
than kicking about where the
railroad company is going to
locate the depot.

The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1918-01-08
SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING
EPISODE

John Gwyn, an American mining
engineer, contracts to furnish the
government with the ingredients OF
high explosive used in the manufac-
ture of ammunition. In working the
mine he is fought by an agent of the
Central Powers who hires an outlaw
band to get possession of the mine.
They killed the owner. but Gwyn mar
ries his daughter and they defy the
bandits. Time and again they are
near death, trapped in a burning
house and locked in the mine. They
finally are captured, but escape. and
the pursuit leads to a hanging bridge
which gives way
Gwyn manages to hold to the bridge
until Nan reaches safely and then
drops the bridge into the chasm, but
not until the outlaw leaders gain a
place of safety by grabbing onto a
rope. Then follows a lapse in hostil-
tiles in which Gwyn gets the mine in
operation.
The outlaws, however, plot to at
tack the mine and begin by stealing
the first pay roll, together with the
mine deeds.
A wild race to the recorders office
is made in which the Central Powers
agent wins.

instrument of vengeance. An eye for
eye, a tooth for a TOOTH
Filled with cold hate that froze
all other emotions into inaction he
mounted the engine cab and opened
the throttle. AS they swung into a
wide curve alongside the road he
watched with grim satisfaction long
line OF hOrsemen riding to meet him
with Hogan in the lead
1.-THE devils have killed every man
on the train" he said as they came up
and the words were dry and hard
'Blew up the bridge-murdered them
like rats, without chance!"
"Von Bleck is on his way to town -
continued Gwyn. "The storehouse
there is filled with cinnabar, and that
is his goal. Nan, God pity her, is with
them. 1t is a race between us. You
take the road and Casey and l will go
on in the engine"
But the race was lost before it be-
gan. Won Bleck, REINFORCED by an
other contingent from Browns was al
ready attacking the town A barri-
cade of tables and odds and ends of
furniture, together with all manner
of boxes, wagons and loose timber,
had been thrown up across the road,
and behind it the old men and women
of the town were fighting desperately.
Such unequal odds, however, could
have but one result Leaving most of
his men to carry on the fight before
the barricade, Won Bleck led a flank
ing party through the woods to the
left and broke in upon the defenders
from the rear Caught between the
double fire the townspeople were
forced from their barricade and driv-
en- through the village, fighting around
street corners and making a good de-
tense. Slowly, reluctantly, they re-
treated till they reached the fringe OF
forest bordering on the road up the
mountain. Here desultory fire con-
tinued for a short time, but Won Bleck
had captured his objective and most
of the bandits were recalled.
The first act of the victors was to
set the storehouse afire With oil and
gasoline from a nearby garage Rawls
soaked the wooden structure at all
four corners and applied the match

Hogan's men topped the nearest ridge

ing and kicking like a wildcat she
fairly drove Rawls back. He was in
a mean temper now, and it was fortu-
nate indeed that an interruption turn
ed his mind to other things.
For Hogan's men were advancing
toward the barricade, and the first
shot found Rawls locking the cellar
door in haste and rushing off to the
fight. Hogan had deployed his men
in a long line facing the entrance to
the town, and the struggle was bitter
and persistent. Protected by the
breastworks erected by the towns
people, Won Blocks men were at
distinct advantage, and Hogan made
little progress Gwyn came up for
consultation, and one of the posse was
called aside.
"a troop of United States cavalry
arrived last night at Pinkton," said
Gwyn, land we want you to find a
telephone and send a call for help.
Tell them it's the cinnabar mine"
By this time the fire from the
storehouse had spread so rapidly that
the whole end of the town was ablaze.
Sparks were falling even on the bar
ricade itself, and soon a flame shot
up. A man rushed forward with
bucket, but rifle ball dropped him
in his tracks. AS the fire spread along
the flimsy shelter the advantage
turned to Hogan. Rawls's men, blind
ed by the smoke, retreated cautiously
toward the unburned section.
"Chargel" shouted Gwyn, and the
posse led by Hogan leaped over the
burning barrier and carried the fight
straight into the heart of the town.
Again the advantage changed hands,
for Hogan, with the flames at his
back, was forced to drive the bandits
back as the fire approached. Already
the Jail in which Nan was imprisoned
was burning brightly, and Gwyn, ig-
norant of her plight, was leading sew
eral men up a side street for flank
ing movement when Rawls suddenly
peered around a fence corner and
fired
Lie down." commanded Gwyn to
| his followers. Cooking his rifle, he
stepped behind an open gate and took
careful aim. Several minutes passed,
and then a hat was showed around
the corner. Gwyn waited, and mo-
ment later Rawls dashed across the
street opening to escape. AS Gwyn
fired the bandit whirled on one foot
and fell headlong, a bullet through
| his breast In an instant Gwyn was
bending over him.
Where is Nan?" he asked anxious
| ly.
"Ahl" breathed Rawls, a certain
cruel pleasure showing on his face
in spite of the pain. you win the
mine. but the girl-lookl" He tried
to point to the flaming Jail, gasped
and fell back. But Gwyn understood
"You--i" he stopped. Rawls
was dead. With Hogan's dog, who had
followed, close at his heels, he dash
ed toward the Jail and flung himself
at the door. A swirl of heat and flame
| forced hi mback. Grasping a burning
plank he broken open one of the win
| dows, but the room was like a fur
mace And then he suddenly realized
| that the dog was barking furiously
at the rear of the building. AS Gwyr

He ran toward the superintendent
office for the telephone, while Casey
hurried off to get the miners together
so that they could give chase over the
railroad. Gwyn got his number with
out delay and was relieved to know
that the connections had not been in
terfered with.
This Hogan?' he said over the
wire. "This is Gwyn. Won Bleck and
his bunch have got Nan and they're
going on for town. Yes, they're on
horseback. Get a posse together and

sounds foolish, but they seem to have
gone mad and Lord knows what they
will do if they ever get loose in Lost
Mine. They've killed a couple of men
here, and they cant afford to be
caught You can count on meeting
a more desperate Won Bleck now than
ever before. His neck is at stake and
he'll do anything to avoid arrest"
Hogan's voice came back over the
wire with assurance that he would do
his share as directed, and Gwyn hung
up the receiver When he went out
again Casey had already assembled
the men and they were Wanting in a
train of cars, all armed, to rush along
the rails to the town.
AS the bridge over the river came
into sight Casey urged the engine on
its utmost speed. The men in the
cars behind were watching closely
now, for they would soon come into
sight of the road and they were an
xiOus to encounter the men who had
endangered their lives at the mine.
Had Casey or Gwyn, however, been
| able to see into the woods at the OPP
posite side of the bridge, neither
would have been so DESTROYS of dash

tached to something hidden among the
] sleepers of the bridge. His eyes were
fixed steadily, maliciOusly, at the fast
approaching train from the mine.
Just as Casey drove the engine on
to the bridge. the mans finger rested
| lightly on a button of the detonator
He waited a moment, until the whole
train was well out on the structure
over the river. Then with a nervous
twitch his finger pressed down firmly
on the button. Almost simultaneous
! ly there came loud, rumbling sound
which terminated in a sharp and very
loud explosion, which resounded and
echoed in the mountains. A cloud OF
smoke and debris rose into the air
/ like a geyser, and mingled with the

seen the mangled bodies of a score OF
