Remains OF Snowflake
Soldier Shipped Home

The body of the late Charles
L. Flake arrived here Saturday
from Siberia for interment. 1t
will be remembered that Mr..
Flake was killed in Siberia last
June while serving as a soldier
in the U. S. army. This was
the first body of a soldier, so far
as we can learn, to be shipped
home from a war region.
Funeral services were held in
the Stake house Sunday after
noon, large attendance gath
ering for the obsequies. The
interment took place in the town
cemetery, the remains being fol-
lowed to its last resting place
by the largest procession of its
kind ever seen in Snowflake.
Young Flake was the second
Snowflake soldier to give up his
life for his country. The other
was Lehi Smith, who was killed
on a battle field in France.

Interesting Exhibit Of Rodent Pest Work at
Fair.--Mr. GiIchrist Tells What Has Been
Accomplished in the State


D. A. Gilchrisht, representing
the Biological Survey and the
University of Arizona in the di-
recting of the statewide poison
campaign against rodent pests,
had an interesting display at
the recent Navajo County Fair.
When consulted he made the
following statement:
The results of the prairie dog
campaign, which was conducted
in cooperation with County Ag-
ricultural Agent C. R. Fillerup
IN Navajo county this year, are
highly gratifying and the CO.
operating of the farmers and
stockmen has been splendid. K.
T. Pickrell, who was assigned
to this county, was especially
pleased with the work of this
community and desires to return
here next spring. Isaac Rogers
of Snowflake and Rex Shumway
of Taylor, who are working in
Yavapai county. have certainly
proved to be good men and have
pushed their work vigorously
this summer. These two men
alone have returned over 1900
dollars to the State Treasurer
for prairie dog poison which
they sold at actual cost to CO
operating stockmen.
The important of the natural
enemies of rodents is not gen.
orally appreciated and can be
stated briefly as follows:
Snakes. hawks, owls, eagles.
badgers and weasels are our best
friends and a valuable asset to
Arizona in as much as they live
upon prairie dogs, pocket goph-
ers, squirrels, mice and rabbits
which destroy growing crops
and forage for livestock worth

Celebrates 56th Birthday

Taylor, Oct. %. "A number of
Snowflake relatives and friends
of the Brimhall family were here
Monday, the 10th. to eat birth
day supper with Mrs. Caroline
S. Brimhall in honor of Norman
A. Brimhall's 56th birthday.
Only a man with the grit of
Arizona stepped into him for
nearly forty years could sit up
to his birthday supper with a
smile and be the life of the
crowd while his foot was in ex-
cruciating pain from a deep nail
wound of few hours before.
Mr.. Brimhall has just that man
ner of grit. And the party was
deeply enjoyed by all present.
We are glad to report that the
accident was not very serious
for the wound is healing as rap
idly as can be expected.

To Raise $25, 1000 for
Roosevelt Memorial

Arizona has undertaken to
raise S25, 900 toward the Roose-
velt Memorial fund and a mem
bership campaign is now being
conducted, closing Oct. q, and
the names of all members will
be inscribed as a part of the
memorial.
Navajo county has been ap-
portioned $780. Donations to
the fund, from the dime of the
admiring child to the liberal
subscription of the wage-earner,
will be received at the Bank of
Northern Arizona or by any mem

which Theodore Roosevelt stood,
in the form of an everlasting
memorial, which will serve as
an inspiration to future genera

Non-partisan in character, this
campaign should make a strong

many thousands of dollars to
the farmers and stockmen of
the state.
We do not assume that these
beneficial birds and mammals
live upon noxious rodents but
we are positively sure of it for
we have examined the stomach
contents of thousands Of speci-
mems and have carefully studied
the food habits of birds and
mammals for years. Even the
rattlesnake lives upon rodents
and if it were not for the fact
that he is poison he should be
protected.
In launching a state wide cam
paign against rodent pests we
have tremendous task upon
our hands in as much as we are
undertaking to accomplish in a
reasonable number of years the
determination Of pests which
have accumulated in hundreds
of years through mans careless

paigns conducted in the counties
of Apache, Navajo. Coconino,
Yavapai, Yuma, Maricopa, Co

campaign resulted in the treat
ing of 28O,062 acres of range

Their Big Cattle Outfits

Holbrook, Oct. %. -Chas. Pet

Will Select a Suitable

Forest Supervisor Hoyt left
Tuesday for the Chevalon coun-
try where he will be joined by
officials from the district forest
office at Albuquerque and they
will remain in that section for
some time looking out a suitable
location for the habitat of Nav
ajo county's elk herd. State
Game Warden Prochaska was to
have been a member of the party
but he is on a hunt somewhere
and his whereabouts could not be
ascertained.
The elk have been giving the
ranchers some trouble in the
way of destroying crops and it
is now proposed to establish a
preserve or game refuge for the
animals in the Chevalon district.
in a secluded area where they
will have a range all to them
selves upon which to roam and
at a sufficient distance from
settlers as to not forage their

Some time ago it was esti-
mated there were 200 or more of
the animals ranging in the Chew
alon country. The party will
take a census" of them, we are
informed, while in that section.

Judge Hardison said: The question
Is a puzzling one. It is entirely

feet and the bootleggers are cut on

There are some who will pay $40
for a quart of whisky and make a
disturbance at paying 81 for a clean
shirt. This is the element that gives
trouble. With whisky out of their

Unquestionably when nationwide

and it looks now as though 1t soon
will. the greatest source of supply OF
bootleg whisky will be cut on
from this city.
There Is admittedly an enormous
stock of intoxicating liquor in this
