Furs
and
Mystery
BY PALAIS ROYAL
BY PALAIS ROYAL

Most everyone knows that raw
furs must be dressed and dyed
before they can be rendered fit
to wear. There Is another pro-
cess about which most people
know nothing-that of plucking
and unhairing.
Nearly all fur-bearers have a
coat of long, coarse hairs scat
tered over their coat Of more
abundant soft hairs. This under
coat Is what is known as fur.
While in most animals the under
coat is by far the more beauti-
full, there are few animals
whose skins are equally beauti-
full when made up natural. To
the latter class belong the musk
rat, otter and beaver.
Skins which are to be plucked
are soaked in water till the
leather is softened and the pores
opened; the skins are then
warmed and the leather side of
the pelt is shaved to cut off the
roots Of the long hairs. Pluck
ing is then comparatively easy.
Some other skins. principally
seal, are plucked by different
process. For this purpose a ma
chine was perfected late in the
nineteenth century which makes
possible the plucking of a pelt
more rapidly and with better re-
suits.
1t is in this process of pluck
ing or unhairing that certain
skins take their first step to-
ward initiating more valuable
furs For instance; muskrat and
coney skins are sheared till the
surface is of uniform depth.
After this they are either made
up natural or dyed to resemble
some costlier fur.
Whether sold under its own
or some other name, there is a
great deal of work to the prepar-
ing of furs for the adornment or
comfort of their future wearers.
The practical and reliable fur
dealer knows and understands
each operation as we'll as the
tricks Of the trade"
Beware of the Wolf in Sleeps
Clothing.

Notice to Subscribers.

In common with newspapers
the country over, The Palladium
is undergoing the experience of
constantly increasing costs of
production.
Newspaper workers. like
everyone else, have suffered
from increased living costs.
They have consequently re-
ceived large increases in salar-
les and wages.
Print paper used to cost 1926
a hundred pounds. An increase
that took effect September LIST
brings the present cost to $3.50
a hundred pounds, an advance
Of 1873 per cent.
1t is necessary, therefore, to
ask subscribers to pay a little
more for their newspaper. Be-
ginning with this week the price
for The Palladium, delivered by
carrier in Richmond, will be
Is cents per week.

PRINTING OF BALLOTS TO
 PROCEED DESPITE CONTEST

The printing of the ballots is to proceed in every Arizona county de spite attack made by c. D. Wheeler on the legality of the selection of H. D. Ross as democratic candidate for secretary of state. There even is pos sibility that trial of the action will not be finished until after the election. In the event of Ross election, court de cision against him would serve to dis qualify him and the place then would be open for appointment by the oc- cupant of the governors chair. That Wheeler, in such an event and in the event of the election of a democratic governor, then would have small chance of appointment is indicated by the tenor of democratic talk. There are many who declare he has thrown monkey wrench into the party ma chinery. On the other hand, Wheeler has made a statement that he has risen above party limitations and that he intends to see whether or not the purity of the Arizona ballot box can be maintained.
 Ross claims a majority of 358 votes and is sure he was nominated honestly and that his lead cannot be overcome by any throwing out of bal lots in disputed precincts. He also believes Wheeler's action is one that may disrupt the party.

WHAT'S DOING IN
 THE OIL FIELD

Holbrook Oil company received dur ing the week the most of equipment necessary to resume work There has been considerable delay in getting this and there is some still to come, which is expected any day. Recently the company has received inch casing, new bits, sand pump and bull rope, besides other incidentals. Irving Carl, head dri1er, will arrive as soon as the balance of equipment is delivered
 This company faces an aggravating situation, as equipment necessary was ordered in reasonable time before needed and the company being fully financed is able to meet any necessary expense of whatever nature. Slow time in transportation, which seems to be general, ands thez-inability of manufacturers to make immediate de livery of equipment ordered, is the sole reason for any delay in drilling this well to completion.
 It is expected, however, that all equipment will be here within the next few days and preparations are such that immediate resumption of drill ing will follow it's arrival.
 To make the situation still more aggravating to the management the indications in the drilling are such that the desire is keen to see what lies just beyond the present bottom of the we'll. Great confidence is felt that a comparatively short period of drilling will get to "where it is at."

CORPSE
 AGAIN A FUGITIVE

Leslie, alias John Gordon, alias Vanandy, who was arrested in Hol- brook and spent some time here, while waiting for the Kansas officials on a charge of bigamy-and made escape while out on habeas corpus, buying a ticket from Phoenix to Los Angeles, and going to Nogales- where he had his latest wife send a wire back to the Sunhower state say ing that her Romeo had turned his toes to the daisies on the Mexican border, and to remit enough kale to cart his carcass back to Kansas that his lawful spouse might have the satisfaction of knowing just where Johnnie was.
 The foxy officials did not believe that Vanandy would make bunch of widows at one throw-and back came the Kansas officers to Arizona-and they found the supposed corpse and his latest attachment cooing on the edge of the jumping off place down on the border.
 He was again placed under arrest and he and the widow were started on their way back to first base-but at Dalhart, Kansas, he leaped from the moving train while handcuffed, and without his hat or affinity, and once more the Kansas sleuths were out witted-and he is again in the eligible class, rid of both the officers and No. 2-and a reward is again posted for anyone who will uncover Vanandy or his ghost

THE PLEA OF THE
 LONESOME TAILENDER

Dear MT. Voter:--We come to you all but famished from the land of unfull- filled desire, the regions of strife and the valleys of failure; for at least two of us have camped with disappoint- ment and supped with despair; among us are political seers whose prophe- cies are unheard, and candidates whose virtues, we fear, will go un- sung. We are wandering willies from the camps of Showlow, Holbrook Snowflake and St. Joseph. The foxy foxes have holes, the birds of the air have nests, but we have nary party before whom we can lay our tribula- tions and trial balance.
 We approach you all jagged out from the turmoil of mortal conflict; brain-fagged, weary, heartsick from deferred hope; propagandists repre- senting new thought for your political uplift. We have bro"en faith with ev- cry organization in the county and doublecrossed our old political pals and now as the f1eeting hands of time approach election day, we who follow the trail of the traitor, and sit in the councils of the scornful, beseech you, if such is possible, to prevent the hon. est voters from freezing our sad hearts that now hold the icy promise of annihilation on November the sec ond.

"The Highway Act" which will ap- pear on the ballot to be ratified in November, designated as No. BIO and 311, if enacted, will enable Maricopa and other southern counties to com plete the big road-building plans they now have under way, and we will have many freezes and thaws, and the flowers will come and go many times before the said act will bring much assistance to Northern Arizona in the way of financial aid-for section S6 of said act reads: "The state high way fund shall be expended by the state highway department, subject to the following provisions: All bills in- cured by the state engineer for high way purposes under the present law MUST BE PAID" So, even though the bill gets by, there will be con- siderable watching and waiting" in the northern tier of counties before the ship comes in.

nowu preparing plans and specifca- tions to cover a $SOO,OOO project in Apache county. The route will be from Holbrook east to Hunt, Concho, St. Johns, Springerville and thence to the New Mexico line toward Seccoro, New Mex. At Springerville this main highway will connect with north and south line now being built by the for est service between Clifton and Springerville.
 It is also planned to construct an improved highway between Holbrook and the state line near Gallup, New Mexico, connecting at that point with the highway which New Mexico has under consideration between Albu- querque and Gallup. This highway is badly needed as a connection with she Old Trails highway.
 No county funds are available for the construction of the HolbroOk- Gallup line, but this survey was made at the request of good roads boost CTS of northern Arizona, who desire to petition the next legislature for funds to improve this short connec- tion to Albuquerque, Santa Fe and other points to the east.

HOLBROOK ORGANIZES
 AN ATHLETIC CLUB

The recent football games seem to have crystalized the dormant longing of sport fans for little red-blooded diversion, into effective action. A gathering of the clan Monday night paved the way for an open-meeting at the Pastime Theatre Tuesday evening, where, after discussion as to the wish es of those present, an Athletic club was brought into being insofar as or ganization goes. Previously a list had been circulated for the enrolment of those inclined to back such an under taking and the f1attering response showed that Holbrook was ripe for or ganized athletics.
 At the meeting Tuesday night Pro lessor Brannigan was selected as chairman of the meeting and Fred Grain had the job of temporary sec retary wished upon him. Preliminary matters being disposed of balloting followed, with the result that Dr. J. w. BazeH was elected president of the organization to be known as the "Holbrook Athletic Club; Chas. P. Cooley, vice-president; Fred O. Grain, secretary; Jay Patterson, treasurer, and A K. Folger, Jack Warden and J. A. Morrow, directors. MT. Folger was selected as manager of the foot ball team.
 The movement for a regular club had its inception in the effort to line up the large amount of first class foot ball material for a town football team, and this effort has been successful to point where it looks as though this town can and will place on the grid iron a foOtball team that will be hard .o put on the light end of a score.

JOHN FLANAGAN
 FOR SUPERVISOR

The present board of supervisors of which John Flanigan has been an im- portant part, has pulled Navajo coun- ty out of the financial rut it was in when they were elected to office.
 The board of supervisors, as the duly constituted business agents of the county-above all other officials should be composed of honest, loyal, sincere, level headed men; men who have NOT a. record as betrayers of confdence-politically or any other way.
 When the present board, of which Flanigan is part, entered office there was deficit of over $34,000 in the general fund and at present it has a balance of almost $16,000.
 There was deficit in the school fund also, which now contains bal ance of $23, ,000.
 And in the face of this splendid showing of economy and thrift the tax rate for 1920 has been materially re- duced.
 A vote for Flanigan is a vote for the perpetuation of this splendid rec ord of efficiency and achievement.
 A vote for Flanigan is rebuke to the tailenders and vote swappers that are clamoring for recognition and us- ing the democratic party as decoy to trap the gullible and unsuspecting.
