oxen or mule teams and cost $l.75 a pound. An old account says that the workmen had to be protected by armed guards from the Indians who skulked in the willows along the creek and in the rocks behind the clearing.
 When finished it was occupied by the governor, John Goodwin, by his secretary, Richard Mccormick; Chief Justice Turner, and Assistant Secre- tary Henry FIeury. For many years it was the center of official life; laws were planned before its big fireplace, marriages were solemnized in the front room," and a member of the first legislature, who died while that body was in session, was buried from that same front room with all the honors which the little city could give.
 Many, many stories, grave and gay, center round the old house, but the one which I love best is the story of the brief life there of the first wife of Richard Mccormick. It was told to me years ago by Mrs. Joseph Ehle, one of the first women to come to Prescott, and for many years of her later life beloved by everyone who knew her as Grandmother Ehle."
 They were real pioneer women, those first few in Prescott; mothers of families, hard-worked and used to scant resources. Into their lives like a bit of pure sunshine came the young bride of the young secretary, a sweet and beautiful girl of educa- ton and many rare gifts.
 When they knew she was coming the few women in Prescott took friendly stock of the housekeeping up at the governors house" and de- cided to give the rooms more wei coming aspect for the young bride. Each out of her own small store gave something. A piece of fine muslin was cut and sewed by hand into old fashioned ruffled window curtains, bits of rag carpet were put on the floor of her room, and many little comforts a woman loves made ready for the little bride.
 Richly indeed did she repay the friendliness; she was a gay and sweet natured girl. She not only brought warm friendliness to the older women but gathered the group of little girls around her and was to them sort of fairy queen, showing them all her

While the old building could not be made hreproof in a modern sense yet its location in the center of a large plot of land is peculiarly for tunate and reasonable care. should in sure safety to the building and its contents. The house is large enough to shelter a fine historical collection and anyone who has visited such col 1ections elsewhere, housed in some old home of local historic association will know how far Yavapai can Ego them one better" in permanent inter est and value and in the picturesque old log building only lightly hidden under the board sheathing.
 Grandmother Ehle" was not the only one to safeguard objects from the old governors house" for when the repairs were going on MT. Johns saw the old log door sills taken out and secured them and stored them safely at his own home. Very appFo- priate use was made of small DOT ton of the wood in making gavels, one of which was presented to the present governor and another for use in the Masonic lodge.
 The first meeting of a Masonic lodge ill Arizona was held in this old house, as was the first meeting of an Odd Fellow lodge and there are relics of both lodges that go back to the old building for their association. Around its open fireplace all the early notables who visited Northern Arizona gathered at one time or an other and many valuable relics were preserved by Judge Fleury, only to be scattered by his death-yet not all of them beyond recall for Prescott homes contain many things that would be placed in the old building if it should be made ready for them.
 I happen to know of Gen. Crooks old folding campaign chair, of chair made by John Townsend, the early Indian fighter; of little filing case used by Capt John Bourke when sta toned at Camp Verde, and of many pictures and books that seem to be- long by all rights in just such local museum.
 As for Indian and prehistoric relics while Northern Arizona has been again and again by scientists and curio hunters there are still few good collections that might be expect ed to come into this old building if 1t were prepared for them.
 There is a rare advantage in the ample grounds surrounding the old house and not one foot should be di verted from the holding. It's location makes it an ideal spot for little park ill which to gather native plants, wild flowers, shrubs and trees, of which Yavapai has such a wealth. far more than most of her people ever see or know about. To such a park might well come some of the great prehistoric stone mills the metates on which acorns and grass seeds were ground by the first peoples of the region; some of the hide stones" and curious round

cooking stones occasionally found in the ruins of prehistoric races in our mountains-as well as objects from within our own American occupancy. Fancy an old thorough-brace stage, such as used to draw up to the gov ernor's door; the big yokes of the old OK teams, now a curiosity-a huge wheel of the old-time freight wagons the hand-cut stones of the old corn mill once used near Prescott.
 Other cities have treasured just such homely things out of the past and found them of keenest interest; here in Yavapai we have the material to out-do the collections which are the boast of other localities-and in the old governors house" we have such a setting as will add value and interest to every object housed there.
 1 doubt if many people in Yavapai know that we have been fortunate enough to have this historical build ing safeguarded to us through Mir Johns interest and effort in the legis- lature; it is exceptionally fortunate for it gives leeway to develop what ever plans are necessary for its best use as a permanent museum and cen ter of local history in Prescott.
 There is something which every person can do to that end, if it be no more than to assure the city officials of appreciation and interest in such a plan, and to put them in touch with relics and objects that should come into such collection in due time,
 This old building might well be a true Friendly House" a center of pride and pleasure for citizen and of interest for every visitor-a source of education for young people and .ot cherished memories for those whose own lives reach back toward that earlier day of which it is our most valuable remaining landmark.
 What We Can See In Prescott
 Today.
 As I walked away from the old mansion" and into the city of today l quite wished the ghost of the far away governors little bride might have been with me to enjoy all the new things which the merchants are showing. Peace conditions show i'll the rich colors and fabrics and greater variety of styles and trimmings. Not for long time have things to wear been so beautiful and prices are lower than the difficulties of labor and transportation might lead one to eX- pect.
 The Bashford-Burmister company have a wonderful showing of winter garments for women and children; soft, warm coats and cloaks in more beautiful colors than we have had for years, and in the fur or plush fabrics, fur-trimmed, or with handsome braid ings and embroideries Their new fur sets are especially attractive and the scarf and cap and huff sets ir velvet, plush, or wool, are novel and as well as lovely.

WOMEN OF ARMENIA
 APPEAL.

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, No", r. By A. P.- An appeal of the wo- men of Armenia to the women of Am erica to help them and protect them from the Turks has been forwarded from this city by an Armenian girl. Nelly de Warhramoff, for distribu tion in the United States. In note accompanying it, the girl says that her appeal has the approval of Antony Kraft Bonnard, of Geneva, secretary general of the Federation of Swiss Committees of Friends of Amenians. The plea reads:
 "To you, our sisters, women Of the United States, we cry out in our an guish.
 Prom our mountains, our plains, from the desert, as well as from yom own hospitable country, we, women from Armenia, all raise our voices. Listen to our appeal. Who better than we could speak? Our men are dead Yours also have fallen, but as soldier on the field of honor. Ours have beer cowardly pursued and murdered. Thc children that we pressed on our breasts have been torn away from us by thou. sands; our young girls are lamcnting in harems.
 "Have pity on us. Who else could protect us? Shall we be left in our despair? No, that is not possible. If our hearts are bleeding, yours will bend over our wounds.
 Hold out your hands to us. We on ly ask for the right to live and to love; but to obtain that, Turkish domination must be done away with. Tell 10 your government so. We must obtain a com. plete and final release.
 Beware of Turkish intrigues!
 "Do not believe those who islander us!
 "Our peoples only crime is to be Armenians, that is; Christians.
 "Our wish is to rebuild our coun' try and our homes with the survivors who have been spared us.
 Do help us, women of the United States!
 "Help us, we women of Armenia who are weeping but still hoping fol we trust in Gods love-"
