SNOWFLAKE'S 24TH CELEBRATION
ENJOYED BY ENORMOUS CROWD

The End of a Perfect Day.
is the way yesterday terminated
even to the closing scenes of
Snowfake's Pioneer Day cele-
bration.
Nice exercises were held in
Social hall in the morning but
the parade was dispensed with
by reason of so many of the
main participants being unavoid-
ably absent from town.
One of the best numbers on
the morning program was the
oration by Joseph S. Fish. Jo-
seph is an entertaining and elo-
quent speaker and those who
failed to hear him on this occas-
ion missed a rare treat.
In the afternoon the crowd re-
paired to the grounds, two and
one-half miles south Of town,
where the afternoon entertain-
ment was held.
The main manager of tn e
sports was out on the lost man
hunt and for a time it looked as
if there would be nothing doing,
when w. w. Freeman and Mar
shall Flake took the affair in
charge and by diligent maneu-
vering carried out most of the
afternoon program as outlined.
The 3O0-yard saddle horse race
was won by Reed Tenney's bay,
Ammon Morris horse coming in
a close second.
There were about a dozen en-
tries in the calf roping contest,
Ormus Turley carrying off the
honors.
Frank Baldwin got away with
the prize in broncho busting.
There were only two entries
in the relay horse race, Ammon
Morris and Ormus Turley, the
first named winning.
Senator Mayfeld of Holbrook
made a short address, to the as
semblage, his remarks mainly
being of the pioneer. He is an
eloquent speaker and held the
attention of the crowd during
his brief talk.
The big event Of the day, the
baseball game, in which Snow
flake and Taylor were the con-
testants, did not start until after
6 O'Clock, and the latter 'team
won by the score of 3 to 2. 1t
was one of the finest exhibitions
of the National game ever wit
messed in this part of the coun-
try, not a run being made until
the first half of the 9th inning.
Following was the score:
123 a 5 6789
Snowflake @ 0 0>100 1-2
Taylor 30 600 0012 x-3
Willis Hunt and Frank Gard
ner were the battery for Snow
flake and Loren Shumway, Jas.
Lewis and Arthur Palmer for
Taylor.
At night a dance was given on
the large open air platform
erected for the occasion and a
fine orchestra, under the direc-
ton j. Rufus Crandell, made

Part of the bridge at Navajo
was carried away owing to the
washing out of the piers. The
bridge at dead river wash was
taken down stream after the
water ran several feet over it.
The bridges over the LeRaux
mort h of Holbrook n d the
Cottonwood wash east Of Win
slow were rendered useless for
the time being on account of the
approaches being washed out.
julius Wetzler is having a deep
water well drilled in the rear of
the Commercial Hotel. He in
tends having tn e we'll deep
enough to secure the best water
obtainable with a supply suf-
ficient for t h e hotel and his
other buildings in the vicinity.
The recent floods in the river
overaowed the grade leading to
the approach of the bridge on
the north side and it is now be-
ing raised under the su pervision
0f the cify engineer.
Chas. Hathorn has returned
after an extended visit in Gallup.
He says that Gallup is now about
as dry as Holbrook but that the
oil business is also looking up in
that country.
Mr.. and Mrs. Give Tenney of
Alpine were here Monday en-
route home. Mr.. Tenney recent
Ily returned from France and was
mustered out of the army at San
Francisco.
Chas. DuBoise of Long Beach,
California, was recently attract

"reminiscences of the poet Longfellow,
a story which he related himself:

TAKE OATH ON SACRED BOOKS
Practice In Vogue Today Has Come
Down Through Centuries With
Very Few Changes.

Inc Christian oath on a D of the
Gospel seems derived from the late
Jewish oath taken holding in the hand
the scrool of the law (or the phyIac-
teries), a ceremony itself possibly
adapted from the Roman custom. The
usual mode was to lay the hand on
the Gospel, and 1t was kept up to a
modern date in the oath of the Uni
versity of Oxford. The practice of
kissing the book, which became so
well established in England, appears
In the Middle Ages. The book was
o1ten laid on the altar, or (after the
manner of ancient Romeo the swear
er laid his hand on the altar itself or
looked toward it. above all, it became
customary to touch the relics of saints
ON the altar. Other objects. as the
cross, the bishops c~rozier, etc. were
sworn by. An oath ratified by con-
tact or inspection Of a sacred object
was called a corporal or bodily oath.
as distinguished from a merely spo-
ken or written oath. The English
word signifying the sacred object" on
which the oath is taken is "halidome."
The "halidome' on which oaths are
sworn In England Is a copy of the
New Testament. Jews are sworn on
the Old Testament; the sacred books
OF other religions are used in like
manner, a Mohammedan swearing on
the Koran. a Hindu on the vedas.

TREATY OF PARIS, 1900.
When the United States was at War With France.

Our relations with France have gen.
rally been of such a friendly nature
from the founding of the nation until
the present day that most people have
forgotten that we were ever at war
with her. But we were, from the
spring of 1893 to September, 1900.
James Monroe was minister to
France in 1896 when the Directory
which had succeeded to the "Terror of
Robespierre" informed him that the
treaty of 1778 between France and the
United States was at an end because
America had signed the treaty with
England known as jays treaty. Mr..
Monroe replied that the treaty of ITS
had already been brought to nothing
by the constant capture of American
ships by French men of a France,
under the Terror, had regarded the
rest of the world in the same light as
the Russian bolshevists do now. Amer
ican merchant ships were captured and
condemned and sold.
Mr.. Monroe was too plant; he was
recalled, and Charles Cotesworth
Pinckney wa sent over In his place.
The Directory from purely selfish mo-
tives continued the policy of claiming
exemption from international law
which the Terror had begun In the
dame Of liberty. The French govern
ment would not receive Pinckney and
ordered him out Of the country. Presl-
dent Adams called a special session Of
congress and recommended the prompt
Of a navy and the permjs-
sion for merchant ships to arm them
selves.
Extra ENJOYS Named.
Pinckney was in Holland. The pres
ident appointed Elbridge Gerry and
John Marshall as extra ENJOYS to Join
.Pinckney, to go to Paris and negoti-
ate. On reaching Paris the commits
sioners found that Talleyrand was min
Ister Of foreign affairs. T~alleyrand
sent go-betweens to the commissioners
them that before the Directory
would negotiate they must pay a bribe
