LONG FLOWING WHISPERS

= This did not get into the newspaper, maybe
for lack Of space, or maybe because no such thing
ever happened, but anyhow it was circulated
among New York Newspaper men along Park Row.
But according to the story, it seems that one
Sam Bengogan, of the lower east side, while still
under four and 40 has a long beard which extends
far below his waist. - s. u - =
It is now matter of court record that he never
used razor or otherwise cut his beard, he being
member of some far eastern religious cult that
stands against any steel instrument being applied
to any part of the body. w.
Sam filed court complaint against member
of an east side fire company charging assault and
disordery conduct for according to the testimony,
Sam alleged that he stood watching the fire ap-
paratus go BY that he got too close, that the sue
ton by reason Of the speed of the vehicle drew his
whiskers out and that they were grabbed by one
of the firemen on the running board.
Sam was forced to run several blocks along side
the fire wagon much to the glee of the firemen
and the throng along the way, land thereby caus-
ing him much pain, chagrin and deep humiliation
by reason of his being publicly subjected to ridi-
cule"-this last being an exact quotation from the
formal court complaint ./
Sam only saved himself, and his whiskers, by
jumping on the running board of the wagon when
it was forced to slow down for a cross street
AS not witness testified that hair of Sans
whiskers had been harmed, the judge dismissed
the offending fireman with severe reprimand-
said reprimand being accompanied by many winks
and grimaces to restrain laughter.
And all of which is reminder that it is about
time for our annual editorial on long flowing
Whiskers.
1t seems that among English merchants there
is this maxim: "When they begin cutting their
cues and whiskers it's about time for us to go
after their trade"
And which is just another way Of saying civili-
cation follows the razor and other whisker and
hair moving devices.
Long flowing whiskers, according to compe-
tent observers in all times and chimes, have never
been attraction to the fair SEX for none of the
great lovers in the entire history of literature
have ever been bewhiskered
vice of the old and middle aged to convey the i'm
preston of position Importance and wisdom.
Long flowing whiskers have never been worn
by the young save the members of remote religious
cults, as in the case of Sam, where it is desired
to make an early impression of wisdom and which
gave name to that style Of whiskers some twenty
years ago known as 'the young doctors pride. =

Suggests Organizing a
Baseball League Here

Ranger V. D. Smith, of the
Apache Indian forest service,
with headquarters near Cooley,
is visiting his family and old
time friends here for few days.
Mr.. Smith, who is a semi-pro-
fessional baseball player, wants
to start" something in the
grand old national game this
season and suggests the forming
of a baseball league, taking in
the towns of Cooley, Pinedale,
Taylor, Snowflake, Holbrook and
Winslow. He says Cooley ex-
poets to organize a good team
and heartily favors the league
proposition. Snowflake base
ballists should get. busy. organ
ize and be prepared for the af-
fray with a creditable team.

Lose Two Of Their Chill
dren When Home Burns

Relatives here received word
Monday that two of the small
children of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Webb of Tucson were burned up
in a fire which destroyed their
home in that city last Sunday.
No particulars as yet have been
received. The Webbs formerly
resided in this section and Mr..
Webb is a brother of Mrs. John
Dewitt of Snowflake. The De-
Witt family suffered like loss
last 4th of July, when two of
their children and their residence
burned here.
E. M. Webb of Pinedale and
daughter, Miss Hattie, who is
teaching at Showlow, the father
and sister of Frank Webb, left
Tuesday for Tucson.

APACHE SAWMILL AT THE
TERMINUS OF THE
RAILWAY
By James O'Brien,
Asst. Secretary Holbrook Cham
Der of Commerce.

Holbrook. March IA. An en-
terprise which means much for
the future prosperity of Hol-
brook, and which will perhaps
compare favorabIy in up-to- date
ness of equipment and scope of
operations with any similar en-
terprise in the country, is that
now being launched by the Apa-
che Lumber company, of which
A. B. McGaffey, of Los Angeles.
is president.
AS a preliminary it was nee
essary to build the Apache rail
way from Holbrook. where it
connects with the main line of
the Santa Fe, 20 miles south to
Cooley, in the heart of an enor-
nous belt of fine timber. In
spite of unheard-of cold weather
and deep SHOWS, the road was
pushed through to Cooley in
quick time, and work is now pro-
crossing on the big sawmill at
that point.
The mill, which is expected to
be finished and ready for opera
ton about Aug. 1st, is known
as a "three-band MILL" having
three band saws where the av-
erage mill has one. By way Of
comparison it may be stated that
the American Lumber company's S
mill at Albuquerque has only
two band saws, though it is one
of the big mills of the country.
The Apache mill will have a
cutting capacity of 225, 600 feet
per 1O-hour shift. It will be
electrically driven, each machine
having it's individual motor, and
every modern safety and labor
saving device is being installed.
Modern lavatories and shower
baths will be put in and, in fact.
as stated by the management,
everything possible will be done
to add to the comfort and con-
venience of the employees.
The plant, when completed,
will be one of the finest in the
United States. 1t is expected

Ninety Years Ago

In 1923 the school board of
Lancaster, Ohio, refused to per-
nit the school house to be used
for the discussion of the ques-
tion as to whether railroads were
practical or not, and the matter
was recently called to mind by
an old document that reads in
part as follows:
You are welcome to use the
school house to debate all proper
questions in but such things as
railroads and teIegraphs are i'm
possibilities and rank infdelity.
There is nothing in the word of
God about them. If God de-
signed that his intelligent crea-
lures should travel at the fright
full speed of Is miles an hour by
steam, he would have clearly
foretold it through His holy
prophets. 1t is a device of Satan
to lead immortal souls down to
hell. /"
The Snowflake herald., 1919-03-14

that about 500 men will be en-
ployed in all departments when
it is in full operation, and there
is timber available to last for
fifty years.
Attractive three, four and five
room bungalows are being built
for married employees, and a
hotel for the single men. The
houses are furnished with cleo
trio lights. running water, bath
rooms, and the usual modern
conveniences. A block has been
reserved in the center of the
townsite for park, and another
for a school building.
The management states that
about half of the company's out
put will be sold to the Santa Fe
railway in the way of ties and
timbers, and the balance will go
on the open market. Up to the
present time, contracts have been
made for nearly a billion feet
of lumber, exclusive of mine
timbers and railroad ties. Even
with capacity of over half a
million feet daily, if the mill is
run the full "a hours, it will
take several years to fill the
orders now on the books.
1t is expected that the tie
treating plant, which will be
built on a scale in keeping with
the balance of the enterprise,
will be located in Holbrook and
give employment to quite a
force. The HoIbrook Chamber
of Commerce is also endeavOring
to have the general Offices of the
company located here, even
though the mill is at Cooley.
When the Apache mill is turn
ing out lumber it will mean a
.material saving to the men who
are drilling for oil in this field.
in the building of derricks and
necessary buildings. Present in
dications point to great activity
in this line before the summer
is over.

Navajo Club Gives Free
Entertainment to Public

Owing to rehearsal for so
many other entertainments the
Navajo Club program given at
the Stake house Wednesday even
ing was not as well attended as
it otherwise would have been.
The program was a good one, as
the hearty encores of most every
number evidenced. Two mem
bers of the Holbrook Chamber
of Commerce, President Lee Car
ron and Judge Sapp, were in at
tendance, the latter being on the
program. Mr.. Carron was not
down" for anything but upon
invitation made quite a lengthy
talk, in which he assured the
members of the Club that the
Holbrook organization would CO
operate with them in every way
possible.
At the close of the entertain
ment membership application
blanks were distributed through
the audience and as a result the
Club is "a much larger organiza-
ton than heretofore.

Game Warden Lands
MOnstrOus Rainbow Trout

w. H, Larson, deputy state
game warden for Apache and
Navajo counties, came down
from Lakeside the first of the
week with Rainbow trout he
landed from the lake at that
at place with a pitchfork last
Saturday. While Mr.. Larson
does not claim this to be a real
big ish-he says there are some
nigh unto three feet in that fa-
nous pound-yet it measured
just exactly 243 inches from tip
to tip and weighed close to seven
pounds. The fish was prepared
for shipment and sent by Mr..
Larson to State Game Warden
Joe Prochaska at Phoenix.

An Entertainment That
Drew Record Audience

Monday night a Cantata, farce
and drills were given under the
auspices of the district school
and was the best entertainment
of the kind ever presented to
the people of Snowflake. The
hall was crowded to its capacity.
about six hundred people wit
Messing the fine program.
The children. many of whom
were real little tots, displayed
wonderful ability and rendered
their parts in a most pleasing
manner. Great credit is due
Prof. Fordham for his untiring
efforts in training the children
for the Cantata.
The drills were also we'll worth
seeing. The farce by two young
ladies and two young men from
the S. S. A., assisted by a -cho-
rus of Academy students, was
presented in a manner that
pleased the large audience.

Citizens Association
Takes On New Name

At the last meeting of the
Snowflake Citizens Association
the name of the organization
was changed to the Snowflake
Chamber of Commerce. Joseph
w. Smith was chosen president
of the new body, ]. M. Flake,
H. F. Bushman and Alof Larson,
vice presidents, G. H. Jennings,
secretary, Hugh Willis, assistant
secretary.
Besides other business, per-
manent committees were ap-
pointed to look after the various
departments of the Chamber.

Here is How Soldiers
and Sailors Get Their
Revenue Bonus

Navajo county soldiers and sailor boys who wish
to get the $50 bonus provided for them in the Reve
nue. Bill should make application by letter The bill
provides that all discharged soldiers and sailors who
have seen service since the declaration of war are
entitled to the bonus.
Soldiers should address letter to the Zone
Finance Officer, Lemon Building, Washington, D. Co.
stating record of their service and enclosing their
Honorable Discharge or other paper of discharge.
Secretary Daniels has issued statement for
the benefit of sailors and marines as follows:
Persons already separated from the service, if
in the navy naval reserve force, should make
claim for payment upon the Naval Bureau of Sup
plies and Accounts, at Washington; if in the Marine
Corps, upon the officer who settled their accounts,
unless his whereabouts is unknown or he was navy
supply officer, in which case claims should be for
warded to Marine Corps headquarters at Washing
ton and if in the Coast Guard, upon the Coast
Guard headquarters at Washington.
Provision has been made for all service men to
keep their uniforms. This revokes orders issued at
camp to return them within four months, but does
not alter the order recently issued as to the length
of time they can be worn.

a quiet affair, only the near rel
atives of the contracting parties
being present.
Prof. j. R. Booth, geologist,
stopt off between trains Monday.
Prof. Booth spent considerable
time in the field last fall and
spring and is confident that Hol-
brook will soon be the center of
the biggest oil fields in the world.
He claims over forty years ex-
perience as a geologist and says
that he never prospected a field
before with as favorable surface
indications for oil as the one here.
The Prof. spent the winter in the
Oklahoma and Kansas oil fields
and expects to return here after
a short visit to Phoenix.
