Heber Weatherman Is
a Snowflake Visitor

Roy Cummins, who some few
weeks ago suddenly became fa-
nous by producing a brand of
Arctic cold weather at Heber
that could not be duplicated by
any other cold point in northern
Arizona, is spending the week
in Snowflake.
Roy has been staying pretty
close to his assigned beat since
the arrival of winter and was
not aware he was instrumental
in stirring up such a commotion
among the weather scientists
until he arrived here. Besides
beng the official care-taker Of
the weather at Heber, he is also
O' s. forest ranger stationed at
That place, but this latter job is
small potatoes" since his sud-
den ascendency to fame, and
Just holds the po ;ition merely
because he was appointed to the
place and the government pays
him for doing so.

Navajo County Board of Super
visors Grant Snowflake the
Rightof Self Government

After years of pioneering, Snowflake has now
discarded her swaddling clothes of country life and
donned the gay robes of city. She now has town
form of government and city council.
The action of the county board Of supervisors at
Holbrook last Monday in granting the long delayed
petition of the people brought about the change and
marked another epoch in the march of progression.
Snowflake has been large enough to support a
town form of government for several years but all
former efforts in that direction proved futile for
lack of votes or shortage of signatures to petitions
praying for town charter. Now that the cause of
good government has finally triumphed it is hoped
that the people will more fully sense their new re-
sponsibities and be more united in building up and
improving the town than they otherwise would have
been. Civic Improvement should be the aim Of the
town council, not an elaborate style to commence
with, but in modest way commensurate with the
resources of the town and the wherewithal at hand
to accomplish results without burdening the people
with excessive taxes.
The first council to serve until an election is held
has been appointed as follows: Joseph w. Smith,
C. H. Ballard, ]. H. Frost W. H. Shumway and
]. H. Miller. The council will appoint town clerk,
marshal and street supervisor, police Judge and
city attorney.

COURT DECIDES
NFAVOR OF HUNT
IN SALARY CASE

Former Governor Geo. W. ?.
Units famous case against the
state of Arizona for $4' 529 back
ssIary was decided Tuesday in
the superior court of Maricopa
.,notv in Phoenix in favor of
tbo recently retired executive.
The state gave notice of appeal.
The decision rendered is de-
,Iared to bear directly on a SINH
r.r contention put forward by
Attorney General Wiley E. Jones,
who also, it is said, lays claim
toan unpaid portion of his salary.
The governors salary was in
creased b y legislative action
while Governor Campbell held
office pending judgment in the
Hunt-CampbeIl suit, which re-
suited in Hunts reinstatement
in the court ruling that Camp
BELLS tenure was a usurpation
of Hunts rights. Technically,
the salary increase was held to
have been passed during Hunts
term, which, the state contend
ed, was against the provisions
Of the constitution.

RANGERS MEET in
CONFERENCE WITH
FOREST OFFICIALS

A meeting of the Forest Off
GERS of the Sitgreaves Forest
was in session Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week. The
purpose of the gathering was to
discuss briefly the past seasons
work and lay plans for the COM
ing season.
At the first session Supervisor
Hoyt discussed the virtues of
promptness, de6niteness a n d
thoroughness in their bearing
upon the success of the individ-
ual and called attention to the
fact that while these qualities
are desirable as applied to the
success of the individual they
become of relatively greater i'm
portance when the individual is
a unit of some organized effort.
''The message to Garcia" was
used as an illustration of the
type of man that is desirable
that is, the man who gets a def
mite understanding of his respon-
sibilities. and prerogatives and
acts with promptness and thor
oughness in the accomplishment
of his assigned tasks. The value
of initiative was illustrated in
the discussion which followed,
dealing with the desirability of
a written monthly plan of work.
At the afternoon session Tues
day. Deputy Supervisor Kartch-
ner discussed the plan of organi-
zation for the protection of fire,
pointing out first the great value
of the timber resources in the
care of t h e Forest officers.
Means and methods of bringing
about the cooperation of the pub
lie in the matter of the preven-
ton and suppression of fires was
dwelt upon. Also a discussion
was had as TO the most desira-
BILE equipment for fighting Forest
fires and its proper use.
Wednesday was devoted. first,
to discussion of necessary and
desirable improvements at the
various stations and necessary
roads, trails, fences, telephone
lines, etc., throughout the For
est and later to rules and regu-
lations governing grazing on the
Forests and to means and meth
DDS for insuring the fullest OBJ
legation of all the range without
injury to any.
The men present besides the
supervisor, deputy supervisor and
chief clerk were: Franklin H.
Owens and L. E. Gardner of the
Lakeside district. Jas. L. Hall of
