School Vacation
for Summer Days

The Phoebe schools closed for the
summer vacation last Wednesday. The
board of school trustees held a meeting
Wednesday evening. in which school
matters were discussed but no definite
action was required at this time, so no
action was taken. The trustees said
that under the exceptional circum-
stances which caused the loss of much
of the school year the conditions were
found to be as good as could be ex-
pected The board met again Thurs
day morning to check over the supplies
on hand.
Miss Elizabeth Mackinson returned

day. and Miss Josephine Kelley re-
turned to Eureka. Utah. last night

Sheriff Roeder
Receives Windfall

John Roeder is employed by Lincoln
county as deputy sheriff under Will
liam Culverwell. The salary he receives
is not large but is sufficient to permit
his family to live in frugal comfort
1t Is not large enough to permit the
building up of fund sufficient to take
care of any such loss as befell them
when they lost their home Saturday
night.
But William Tulloch and Joe Hol-
linger came forward and while the fire
was burning the Roeder home these
men collected $27750 in cash toward
the furnishing of a new home and this
money was given to Mr. Roeder that
evening. greatly to his confusion and
surprise. It was promptly refused until
it was shown that he had had part In
| just such affairs of the community In
times gone by and, seeing the point, he
| thankfully took the money which Will
| do so much toward tightening the Sc
we're loss. and that will tighten the
work of getting settled in the new
| home. The Red Cross, that splenlid
local organization, devoted time to
sewing and other members of the COM
munity are doing what they can to
make the misfortune as light as pos

The mudhole condition in the Fan
ranagat valley are reported to be caus-
ing loss of cattle in that valley
There are several small springs which
soften the ground and in the resulting
mud each year there are lost enough
cattle to pay for the fencing OF these
bad places many times over. This IS
one of those problems particularly
hard for the individual cattleman TO
solve. He cannot fence the springs
alone. so he does the next best thing
and pulls the cattle out of the mud II

Philadelphian
Visiting Pioche

Walter Pincus. engaged in the real
estate business in Philadelphia "and
naturally interested in some outside
ventures" has been a pleasant visitor
in Phoebe during the last week. He
became interested in Phoebe in 1917 and
has watched with interest the develop
ments in the district He will leave to-
day for his eastern home and enroute
will stop over in Salt Lake.
1.-The camp is undoubtedly worth ex-
penditure for development" he said to
the interviewing reporter, and 1t
would be productive, in my opinion, II
sufficient capital be brought in to tho
roughly prospect and open up the veins
and lodges. BY sufficient capital l
| mean enough to finish any work start
ed and not stop in the middle of the
stream, If / may use the expression.
Many persons start mining with WIS.,
ions and dreams instead of sufficient
| capital, and IL failure ensues these put
damper on the industry. Good man
agement is, of course, as essential as
in any other line of business. Phoebe
is good town and l see nothing tc
detract from it. The people are goot
class and sociable. They try to make
one feel at home here"

sense, his sincere work during the fir'
and his charming courtesy added Others
