an equipment trust to reimburse the
government for S400,000,000 spent for

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Appleton = Following an investiga-
ton, the county board decided to con-
tinue the county workhouse. A group
of supervisors sought to abolish the
institution on the ground that it is a
needless expense because of the small
number of persons sentenced to it.
The committee reported that the fact
that the county has workhouse
keeps many undesirables away. The
workhouse superintendent is paid ST.
600 year, out of which he must pro
vide food and clothing for his prison
ers. He is permitted to keep the crops
grown on the workhouse farm. Last
year 80 persons were sentenced to the
institution.

WORK AND PLAY RIDE AT HEELS
 OF B|G STORM
PRESCOTT HAS WONDER. FUL TIME DIGGING IT SELF FREE FROM HEAV- TEST FALL OF "T H E BEAUTIFUL" IN YEARS.
(From Sundays Oaily)

The snowstorm which struck Pres colt and Yavapai county late Friday night, continued intermittently throughout yesterday and by late af- ternoon more than two feet of the fluffy whiteness had draped the land scape for miles around, brought traf- fic of all sorts nearly to standstill, and Unfinished an unlimited amount of fun and amusement for the juven- ile portion of the community. The snowfall was the heaviest which had occurred hereabouts during the past three years, and while the snow caus- cd a considerable amount of trouble, especially in the way of holding up transportation, the major portion of the city went about the task of dig ging out in a good-natured spirit. Small boys, who possessed the busi- ness instincts of pawn-brokers, were out carly with snow shovels offering to dig paths for householders who were loath to do the work them selves.
 To those who viewed the storm from an artistic standpoint, the plaza presented sight that was truly beautiful and decidedly unusual The limbs of the trees had been coated with the whiteness until the trees resembled mounds of snow as they - sagged beneath the sticky blankets. The Rough Rider monument during the early hours of the day was so burdened with snow that its outlines were scarcely traceable, and the

 From the Senator country came news of "A inches, while Walker had about "A inches. No word was re- ceived from Camp Verde, but that the storm reached that country was quite probable. In other localities it was either raining or showing, and from all sections the news was the same, rain or snow falling without a minute of cessation since late Thurs day night.

 This IS the first real opportunity l have had since the armistice of writ ing, due to my being shifted from one place to another. As you know I speak the language fluently and after this was known, I left Co. B, of the 10th regular Infantry to be an interpreter. The job is lively, and my work has been principally to giv- ing orders to the natives in forward ing depot stuff, munitions, animals, and other property. Also have 1 had lots to do in i1nparting military in formation from the Americans to the French, and vice versa. Every min ute I am awake had something to do, and while it was tiresome 1t was gratifying to be able to help out. Colonel Corre, of the staff, wants me to stay here, and I might as well tell you so does his pretty daughter. If I conclude to remain will see that you come over for a long visit, as the country and the people are agreeable i'll every way to us Tanks.
 Am here on a furlough for 28 days, and expect to be ordered to Soissons to take charge of salvage, that Is in giving orders for removal It seems to be the opinion that when everything is clear again and quiet there will be kept in the country many Americans who speak French, to fill various official positions We may remain for a year of two, as there is a mass of business to wind up. Already many American me cnanics. railroad men and other ar tisans seem to be wanted, but it is of course their own decision to re- main or return home.
 Am sending you box of war sou- vcnirs, taken from dead Huns, also some fine French lisle goods. Have filed application to be mustered out, and later will let you know what are my plans for the future.

QUESTION OF NEW HIS
 TORY BEING CONSIDERED.

PHOENIX, Feb. 1-Should the history of Arizona as being compiled by State Historian Thomas E. Parish be completed is the question before the house. It came up in the form of a concurrent resolution which suggests that by all means this his tory should be brought up to date. Thus far Mir. Parish has written eight volumes, but he is still 30 years behind in his labors.
 There has been considerable his tory in the last 30 years, indicating that there should be several vol umes. Another suggestion made in tI1e resolution is that the state should take 500 sets of the eight completed volumes, that is 4OOO books and distribute them to the school libraries of the state that the rising generation may have an op- portunity to learn of the great fight against Indians and other obstacles which their forefathers endured in order to settle up and establish Arizona.

GROWTH. IN UPPER VERDE
 REMARKABLE
SUPT. MILLER PRESENTS DATA FROM RECENT INSPECTION OF A SUR PRISING AND INTEREST ING NATURE.
(From Sundays Dailv.l


 County School Superintendent Mil Ter has returned from an inspection of public schools in Upper Verde valley, and in reviewing conditions of an exceptional nature in attend ance, general progress, and other de tails, said yesterday:
 "On this trip the astounding fact faced me particularly in one instance, that of the contrast today as compar- ed to six years ago when I entered the office, in the remarkable number of pupils enrolled in the schools of Jerome, Clarkdale, Verde-Cotton- wood and Willard. Six years ago there was total census of the four above schools of only 483, but today the attendance has swelled to the number of ,459 in the grades and a in the high schools. Isn't that re- markable? Other statistical matter preserved shows that six years ago there were IA teachers employed in the above schools, and today there are employed 34 at Jerome, 20 al Clarkdale, at Cottonwood-Verde and 2 at Willard, making a total of GA as against A. Such progress is difficult to understand, but 1t is a fact that can be verified, and is in disputable
 At Jerome accommodations be- came so congested and inadequate a short time ago that 1t was necessary 10 occupy eight cottage rooms ad- joining the main school buildings and two more are now being built to re- ceive pupils who are ready to enter school.
 At Clarkdale a similar situation has arisen, and that district has taken over four cottage rooms and increas- ed its capacity to four more rooms, as the attendance swells. It was be- lievcd when tlse big school building was erected a few years ago, the ca pacity was ample for years to come but this has been dispelled by the at tendance growing out of all anticipa tions.
 One of the most interesting situ- ations has recently developed at Je rome, in which nas been developed an Americanization school with an enrolment to date of 1l5, and anoth CT teacher is to be employed at once. In this interesting school there arc pupils ranging from 16 years to 40 years Of age who are cnergetically struggling to master the English Ian guage. A greater attendance would be reported if there were accommo- dations, many mothers of foreign birth being desirous of entering. Mrs Jewel Banta is in charge of this unique and interesting school, rem dering splendid service in the art of modern home-making and insulting the principle of Americanism.
 It is only a question of time until this division of Yavapai will have to a big building campaign to provide new and up-to-date school buildings and other facilities. The district is wealthy and is desirous of giving education pursuits the best aid possible. Prof. ]. o. Mullen pre- sides at Jerome, Prof. w. R. Hull at Irwinna Owen is princip- al at Cottonwood, and Miss Cornic Henley principal at Willard.
