More Trains Needed.

Now that the war demands on
the railroads have ceased it is up
to Mr.. McAdoo to restore the
many passenger trains to service
that he disbanded when he first
rook over the roads. on the plea
that all possible rolling stock and
motive power was needed to move
troops. The passenger traffic on
the Santa Fe is crowding the
present accommodations to the
limit every day, and most of the
time No. 3 is run in two sections
to meet the demands, while other
trains are carrying extra equip
ment. 1t has been rum0red for
some time that Nos. Fl and %
would be put back on the sched-
ule, but rumors furnish very poor
service for the travelling public.
Mr.. McAdoo, or his successor in
Office, has a great opportunity
now to demonstrate the efficiency
of government management of
railroads in peace times as well
as in war, and if he can give d
practical exposition Of increased
service and comfort for travellers,
at reduced rates, or ra;es even
approximating those in force
when the railroads were taken
over. the sentiment for govern
ment ownership might crystalize
in effective form.

Axe Begins to Swing.

Gov. Campbell has announced
the appointment of C. C. Powell,
of Florence, to be superintend-
ent of the prison, and Andrew
Baumert, of Phoenix, and Lloyd
Christy, of Flagstaff, to be mem
bers Of the state commission on
state institutions. The position
of adjutant general has been ten
dered to Cole P. Grimstead, who
is now with the President in
France. Mr.. Grimstead has all
the legal qualifications required
by the special law prepared by
Adjutant General Harris, which
was supposed to make it impossi-
BILE for any other man to hold the
job but himself. In other words,
he had the legislature pass a law
he thought would give him life
tenure on the job. Harris is the
one man the state of Arizona
can get along without, and the
sooner he is pried loose and per-
mitted to leave the state the bet
ter it will be.
Other appointments of the gov
ernor are Chas. F. Price, of Me-
sa, inspector of weights and
measures; F. S. Ingalls,, of Yuma,
superintendent of the pioneers
home; DR.. George B. Goodrich,
of Phoenix, superintendent of
public health; J. H. Larson, of
Thacher, superintendent of the
industrial school; John F. White,
of Phoenix, state employment
agent; w. A. Barr, of Phoenix,
dairy commissioner; DR.. R. j.
Hight, of Phoenix, state veter-
nary; w. F. Purcell, of St. Johns,
Chas. E. Burton, of Ashfork, and
j. G. Hammons, of Phoenix,
sheep sanitary board; Elsie Toles,
of Tombstone, H. E. Matthews,
of Mesa, and G. Philbrook, of
Bisbee, members of state board
of education.

Elusive Prisoners.

A couple of weeks ago two
prisoners escaped from the peni-
tentiary at Florence, kidnapped
two girls and made their get-a-
way in an automobile. Several
days later they were captured
near Tucson while making their
way to Mexico. The prison
guards took charge of the prison
ers and started back to the pen
itentiary in an automobile, taking
with them also the two girls.
Before reaching their destination
the prisoners over-powered the
guards. threw them out of the
car, and were off again. Last
Tuesday the escapes were cap
tured again near Casa Grande,
and this time the officers were
successful in landing them in the
penitentiary.

Hospital for Holbrook.

Our neighboring town of Hol.
brook will probably soon have a
Santa F'e hospital. The Santa Fe
hospital Association have under
consideration the abandonment
of their alleged hospital in Win
slow, and the erection of a mod
ern institution at the county seat.
The reason advanced for the pro-
posed change and new building
is to make it available for the
employees Of the new railroad and
the men employed in the lumber
camps at the other end of the
road. A definite decision will
probably be reached in a short
time so work can begin early in
the spring if the contemplated
change is to be made.

Some Zero Weather.

We have not had time to con-
suit with Judge Mahoney or
Uncle Bill Daze on the weather
conditions, but from our personal
experience of four winters in Ari-
zona, the spell of weather that
struck this section of the state
several days ago, ana put the fin
ishing touches on the job We'd
nesday night with a temperature
of several degrees below zero, is
the coldest weather we have ex-
perienced, and so far as we are
concerned, have no desire to see
it repeated. Perhaps if the ed
itor owned an overcoat and some
felt boots he would not complain
so seriously.

Holbrook Visited by Fire.

The most destructive fire in
the history of Holbrook visited
that city Wednesday night. AT
near 11:30 p. m. fire was discov-
cred in the basement of the brick
building belonging to Mr.. w. B.
Woods, occupied by the Holbrook
Telepone Co. and a gents furn-
ishing store. The alarm was i'm
mediately given, but as there is
no fire apparatus there. and the
mercury was hanging around 20
below zero, the volunteer fight
ers with pals had no effect on
the flames, which rapidly spread
to adjoining buildings. Before
the fire spent its force three
buildings were totally destroyed,
entailing a loss probably exceed
ing S25, 900, with insurance to
cover only about half.
Mr.. Woods is the heaviest los
er, as in addition to owning the
building, he owned the tele-
phone central which was entire
ly destroyed. Mr.. Caldwell, the
owner of the gents furnishings,
was also a heavy loser, his in
surance not covering more than
half the value of his stock. The
little frame office so long occu-
pied by J. E. Crosby is now
smouldering in ashes. Mr.. Cros-
by is the owner of fine library,
and just few days prior to the
fire, in preparation to taking his
seat on the bench as the new su-
perior judge, removed his books
to his home.
Mr.. Woods will undoubtedly
rebuild, as he must have home
for his telephone office, but
whether the other owners will re-
build or not we have not heard.
These properties are in the best
business section of the town.

Remember Dead Comrade.

Mrs. Heron received a few

My DEAR MRS. HERRoN:-
Whereas the all-merciful God
in His wisdom and Providence
has seen fit to call from our midst
one of our dearly beloved ship
mates, such a sad and solemn oc-
casion make it but proper that we
convey to you in some concrete
expression the esteem and admi-
ration in which we held him.
Although we enjoyed his earth
ly presence but a few months.
still he lives on in our cherished
memory. His everyday activi-
ties were singularly character
lied by an air of cheerfulness,
by a profound appreciation of
ones duty, and by that para
mount virtue, consideration of
the welfare of his felloWmen.
Such admirable qualities are to
be found only in those whom
Providence peculiarly destined.
However dark your horizon of
life may seem to have been shad-
ed by his passing away, surely
your grief of soul must be tenn
pered by the consolation of know
ing that he, who so nobly an
swered the call of his country,
is now in the Land of Peace in
the arms of His Maker. Such
is his merited reward.
Kindly accept this loving cup
over-brimming with tears and
feelings of love and devotion to
his cherished. memory.
Respectfully,
MEMBERS OF SEVENTH Co.

1t Might Have Been Worse.

While Winslow citizens have
just cause to complain about the
erratlc mercury during the past
few days when it was hanging
around 10 degrees below zero,
they should be thankful they
were not residents of Gallup or
Flagstaff, where the thermome-
ter was hanging around % de-
grees below. Mankind is prone
to overlook the blessings vouch-
safed to them until comparisons
are made with those more unfor-
tunate. Not many of us take the
optimistic view of life of the

THREATS OF MUTlNY AMONG THE
AMERICAN TROOPS IN RUSSIA
THUSFAR HAVE NOT DEVELOPED

Washington, April 11-There were
no additional reports at the war de-
partment today on the situation at
Archangel, where a company of
American troops were involved nearly
two weeks ago in a threatened mu-
tiny, refusing to obey orders to en-
train for the fighting lines until ap-
pealed to by their regimental COM
mander. Absence of news since the
report made public last night after
Archangel had described the incident
was regarded as a favorable sign.
It was assumed that had the ''gen-
eral mutiny'' which the members of
this one company said would devel-

from Washington that the American
forces in northern Russia were to be
withdrawn materialized, Col. George
E. Stewart, the American command

through a report.
It was noted in an official state
