BOW CHEOPs BROKE A STRIKE

Labor strikes are not the product of the last hundred years, as some peo- pie think. They were frequent even in the earliest, recorded days.
 One of the greatest strikes that the world has ever known occurred in Egypt in the reign of Cheops, several thousand years before the Christian era.
 Cheops ordered a great pyramid to be built in his honor, and while it was in course Of construction it is said that fifty thousand workmen downed tools and refused to continue the work.
 The reason they gave was that the food with which they were furnished was insufficient in quantity and pooi in quality. ,.,
 The contractors tried arguing with them, and when that failed soldiers were ordered to drive the strikers back to work. Many thousands of them were cut to pieces, wHle a cer. tain number escaped and fled the country.
 The others were compelled to re. sume their work.

ROAD CONVENTION AS
 VIEWED AT ST. JOHNS

On November 22d there was held in Flagstaff meeting of very vital in terest to the citizens of Apache coun- ty.
 St. Johns was represented by the following committee:-E. 1. Whiting, G. k. Greer, Joy B. Patterson, Jacob Earth and k. K. Bryan, and Springer vile by Gustav Becker and Wm. Ma gle.
 The town of Gallup has always been interested in turning the National Old Trails highway up through Gallup, instead of the present route through Springerville, St. Johns and the Pet rified Forest, and in order to interest Flagstaff, Winslow, and other railroad towns, someone started story to the effect that Mir. Becker of Springer vile was actively working for the road over the mountain, with the in- tention of cutting out entirely the Old Trails route. The St. Johns com mittee went into the evidence very thoroughly and are entirely satisfied that Mir. Becker is doing no active work at present on the mountain road and has not worked on it since 1916.
 The meeting at Flagstaff was a pre-arranged affair, and St. Johns and Springerville were not even al- lowed to present their side of the case at the meeting, however as they will be unable to put the road through along the railroad without the help of Apache county, we feel that we will be able to keep the main road at its present location.
 Ex-Governor Curry of Socorro, N. M., attended in the interest of the present road and reported bond is sue of $S0,000 to improve the road from Socorro to Magdalena. This money was secured from tIe U. S government. The St. Johns commit tee held consultation with Mir. Mad dock, the state engineer, and were informed by him that there was $150,- 900 availablefor work on the present Old Trails highway if Apache county would issue bonds for the same amount. With a total of $500, ,000.0 we should be able to have one of the best roads in the country.-St. Johns Observer.

NATIONAL GUARD FUND IS
 RELEASED BY STATE AUDITOR

Restored to the disposition of the state national guard, the sum of $91,. 533.14 was released from. .the ledgers of State Auditor Jesse l.. Boyce, ac- cording to his announcement follow ing advices from the attorney gen. erals office.
 F. J. Mcbride, assistant attorney general, ruled that the unused appro- priations by the 1915 and 1917 legis, latures for armories and arsenals con tinued available, as no time limit had been made for the return of unused amounts to the general fund.
 The original appropriations amount ed to about $93,000, small amount thereof being used for repairing cer- tain buildings of the national guard The remaining amount, $91 ,533.14, is at the disposition of Adjutant Gen. eral Walter s. Ingalls, and his general staff that does not exist.
 of s13,000 is for armory purposes and contingent upon an equal amount be- ing put with it by cities benefitting therefrom and upon free conveyance to the state of all land involved, and upon preference being shown for the cities of Douglas, Flagstaff, and Yuma, in the order named.
 Adj. General Ingalls, says he mus. have a general staff before he hands out any armories or arsenals, and that a general staff must consist of the adjutant general and four officers of the national guard, of whom three must be in the line.
 It is rather difficult, the adjutant general says, to have a general staff without any national guard to choose it from, and it is also rather difficult to have a national guard without any armories. He figures that to spend the money he must have general staff, and to have general staff he must have the expenditure of the money. Being an adjutant general Ingalls, says, is lots of fun aside from the fun of going without pay until the auditor says he can have some, which fun has continued for quite some time.
