 hl. How Flagstaff looks from Tuba City, contributed by to "To-Be-a- City poet": White high mountains,
 Tall pine trees; Twelve months winter,
 Snow to your knees. Two hungry editors,
 Cattlemen galore, Closed-up pool rooms,
 Everybody sore. People thirsty,
 Can't get a drink, Look like a live one,
 Pinched-quicker than wink. Schools and churches,
 Everybody goes, No one wanting,
 The devil has his woes. Jails are empty, The sheriff has rest, In spite of the brewers,
 It was all for the best. Pm not a preacher--just a man, That went the rounds-rushed
 the can, Sat up nights till the moon went
 down,
 Looking as I felt, a brimsey
 brown. Set from the distance I can see, Flagstaff is better place to be, Parents happy, the books are clear, Grub in the cellar, instead of beer.

TUBA CITY DEPARTMENT
(By a Live One)

TUBA CITY, Feb. 24.-Mrs. Bell, Tuba City, has been very sick, and is not considered out of danger yet. MT. Bell is now located at Truxton Can yon and on account of the heavy snow could not be reached. There is no doctor at Tuba City and the near est point a telephone could be found in working order was Camp One, about 60 miles away. MT. Kerley at- tempted to reach it, putting two cars out of commission in 40 miles of the trip, then accompanied by MT. Will liamson, another Indian trader, tried the remaining 20 miles on foot. Both men fell exhausted in the snow as it was from 12 to IS inches deep and a strong wind against them. They spent the night fighting the cold, without fire or shelter and when day broke, got their bearings. The snow increased in depth, until they were obliged to turn back and walk 20 miles to the Colorado river. When about five miles from the end of the journey, they were picked up by MT, Beard who had succeeded in breaking his way through with teams. Out side of sore feet and some other things that exposure brings to bones and muscles, they are none the worse for their experience. Both are very emphatic in stating that they are not bidding for the Tuba mail contract.
 Owing to the long cold spell the stores on the reservation are out of foodstuffs. Tuba City and Red Lake are the only points that the Indians can get anything to eat as sufficient supply of flour, coffee, etc, was lad in, preparatory for long, cold win ter.
 MT. Vandervier is recovered from a had infection of the hand, and is back at work.
 Mrs. J. P. Kerley has five patients: Mrs. Bell and her two children, and Masters Richard and Edward Kerley. All had the flu, followed by all the other sicknesses in succession that the flu leaves you an easy prey to, ex- cept pneumonia.
 One of our neighbors had a letter from Ireland, stating that the Irish had on hand some "Rale Old Pre- War Irish Whiskey" and that consid- erable unrest prevailed among the Irish since America went dry. The Irish are afraid the Tanks will be landed to fight for "Wilson's IA Pints." r.9
 MT. o. K. Cook and family came to live at the Big Store. Mir. Cook is an old timer, having been employed at the government school, about five years ago and returned to Kansas. He came back to take the vacancy caused by the resignation of MT. Bell as manager. Mir. Cook is the gentleman that went into the government gas tank to find the leak. He had a Ian tern, and was more successful in his search than he had hoped. He learn ed at the hospital next day from the doctor that he had found the leak, but now the government was out looking for the tank and the building.
 The Watt children are recovering from severe attack of whooping cough. .
 MT. Stewart is out again after spell of bronchitis.
 Miss Anna Gray is back in the ot- flee, fully recovered from an attack of something.
 Tuba City is something like this:
