Brands Must Be Recorded
Before December 18th

Secretary Ed w. Stephens of
the State Livestock Sanitary
Board has given warning that
costly litigation is a certainty in
the near future for cattlemen
of the state who do not register
their brands before December
Il. The official added that in
dividual notices have not been
sent out, partly because many of
the 10000 registrants are dead
or have been out of the cattle
business for years.
The re-registration of brands.
according to Secretary Stephens,
is the first that has been made
since the Livestock Sanitary
board was organized more than
25 years ago. The cost of re-
registering is S., and applica-
tion for the required blanks
must be made to the board in
Phoenix. After Dec. IL, the
secretary said, any brand not
re-registered, will be recorded
in the name of anyone applying
for it. Cattle rustlers could, if
they so desired, locate herds
branded prior to Dec. II and
have the brands registered for
themselves, it was pointed out,
involving court action.
In all cases involving trans
fers of cattle, made in good faith
and reported direct to the board,
wherein the time element in
cludes the re-registering date,
the Livestock Sanitary board
will protect the transfer, Secre-
tary Stephens said.

100000 Physically Fit

According to a report from
Washington, the U. S. has a po-
tential military strength of 49,
900, 900 men, and 80 per cent of
the men of the country between
the ages of IS and 43 are physi-
cally fit. This fact is said to be
by a final study Of the
selective draft records. The
total number registered was %, :
9o8, 576. The medical reports
indicate, it's said, that the sec
tion from which the greatest
percentage Of healthy men came
runs north and south through
the center Of the country.

mud in that vicinity. Aside from
looking after his sheep. Mr..
Morse found time to raise about
800 bushels of grains and consid-
cradle other trucks on his ranch
during the summer. He is now
enroute to Phoenix where all the
good shepherds go during the
winter.
The town was full of stranded
automobile tourists during the
recent snow storm. About six
inches of snow fell here night
of Thanksgiving over about that
much mud and reports indicated
that it was much deeper in the
mountains on both sides of town.
Many of the tourists loaded their
automobiles on Santa Fe freight
cars and shipped out OF the storm
zone. Several of them were en-
route east and intended taking
the road thru no-man's land to
Magdalena, distance of 24O miles
between railroad towns, and
they all expressed themselves as
being fortunate to be caught by
the storm at a railway point IN
stead of this stretch.
Zella Brinkerhoff Of Woodruff
and Leslie Noble of Alpine left
here Wednesday morning for st.
Johns where they will be mar
ried. Miss Brinkerhof is a grad
uate of the Northern Arizona
Normal School and has been en-
gagged in teaching in the county
during the last three years. Mr..
Noble is reputed to be one of the
leading young men of Apache
county.

MexiCanS Now Believe
World About to End

If the world passes the period
between December IL and 20
without coming to an end, the
Mexican people and not a few of
the more superstitious Ameri-
cans will breathe sigh of re-
lief, for the belief has been grow
ing among a large class that the
predictions made by Porta, a
French astronomer, that the
juxtaposition of five planetary
bodies on one side of the earth,
with the sun on the other, dur
the period would cause a cata-
clysm.
Many of these people who be-
lieve in this prophecy are pre-
pairing themselves for the end,
according to Mexican newspa-
pers.
In connection with a severe
earthquake felt at Mexico City
on Nov. 13, one paper makes the
following comment:
Many persons were led to
the belief that this was the fore
runner of the end of the world
that has been predicted by the
French astronomer, Porta, which
announcement has caused alarm
and CONSERVATION, particularly
in the United States. The char
acter of the end of the world as
predicted by Porta differs from
this, however, the end of the
human race will be caused by
asphyxiation by gasses and not
by earthquakes. /"

FLOOD WATER DOES
DAMAGE TO BRIDGES

A slow, steady rain started in
here late yesterday afternoon
and continued the greater part
of last night. The fall south of
here was evidently a downpour,
as one of the approaches of the
bridge across Showlow creek at
Shumway is missing and the
bridge over Silver Creek at Tay-
lor is also reported washed out.
Here in Snowflake the east ap-
proach of. the bridge over Cot
tonwood Wash, which was part
ly washed out a few days ago,
was again victim of the flood
waters and will not be safe for
traffic for some time. A portion
of the Apache Ry. bridge across
the wash is also reported miss
sing. The Snowflake dana near
John Flakes place went out.
Silver Creek and Cottonwood
Wash are both on a rampage,
the latter being about as high
as ever recorded before. Up to
the hour of going to press we
were unable to learn fully the
damage done by the storm, or
whether or not the towns south
of Shumway suffered any dam
age. Postmaster Murray stated
that he did not expect any mail
from either north or south today.

GRANTS TOMB DRAWS MANY
Visitors From Every Part of the United
States Pay Homage to Great SOL
dier's Memory.

Since the war there has been great
increase in the number of visitors to
Grants tomb. They come from all
parts of the United States, from Alaska
| to Florida. 1t would seem that no
stranger to New York city fails to visit
the shrine to pay homage to the great
general. They arrive singly, with their
| families or friends, or in delegations
organized especially for such pilgrim
age. Between 900 and LOO persons
| visit the tomb daily, and about 4OO,-
0OO a year.
The tomb is taken care of by GUS
| todian, an assistant custodian and two
attendants. George D. Burnside, whose
| father was cousin Of General Burn
side Of Civil war fame, is the custOdi-
an. He has more than an official in
terest in the sacred edifice. When 1T
was being built he was foreman of con-
structiOn, and it was his duty to see
that the blocks of stone and marble
were laid with proper care and pre-
cisiOn. Because he had great part
it's construction better than most men,
the Grants Tomb Memorial association
selected him as custodian, and when
the structure was completed in 1897,
he entered upon his duties. When it
was dedicated by President McKin-
ley, General Horace Porter handed
Burnside it's keys, and it was Burn
side who sealed with his own hands
the great sarcophagus containing the
remains Of General Grant.
During the past year." he said.
"many soldiers and sailors visited the
tomb. Indeed, about one-quarter of our
visitors were men in the service"
Since the tomb has been opened a
regular visitor once year is the aged
woman who for years served as maid
to Mrs. Grant. She comes every year
on Mrs. Grants birthday bearing a
wreath of flowers. One day an aged
negro hobbled into the mausOleum. He
explained to Mr.. Burnside that he had
served General Grant during the Civil
war. He told with a great deal Of
pride how he had held the generals
horse, and what a good boss the gen
eral always had been. Grant, he said,
was a most modest and unassum-
ing man. The old negro knelt rever-
emily before the sarcOphagus and
wept bitterly.
"He treated me all right" he sobbed.
"He treated me all right, deed he
did. Use eighty-seven, 1 is, and Use
a pore old man, but Use glad come
here and seen this beautiful tomb,
deed I am. It's grand, but it amt
none too good for de general, God
bless and rest his SOUL"

He Gave Up His MonocIe.

A certain Australian regiment had
among it's officers an old regular who
was settled in Australia when war
broke out. The battalion to which he
was posted duly arrived in Egypt, and
the first night in Cairo the major stag
gered the mess by appearing with
mOnOcle.
No one in Australia had ever sus-
pected him subject to such an optical
or social weakness, but with his re-
turn to the Old World the major re-
turned to the ways of his youth.
The next day an audaciOus Anzac
subaltern went into Cairo, purchased
two dozen monocles, and that evening
at mess the major found every officer,
including even his @. o., solemnly
sporting a single eyeglass.
The next night nobOdy-not even
the major-wore one.-London Chron-
icle.
