 The greatest coal fields on any res ervation are found on the Navajo res eIvation of northern Arizona. In a recent trip which H. s. Hawkins and party made over the Navajo reserva- tion, they observed long veins of coal exposed on the sides of the canyons. MT. Hawkins said he believed the whole region was rich with coal. Un- der existing laws, this coal can not be mined.
 Arizona was given recognition by the American Mining Congress through the recent appointment of G. M. Butler of the university, as an ad- visory member of the program com mittee for the next meeting of the congress, which will be held at Den- yer on November 15.

 Immediately upon receipt of this petition, I instructed Adjutant Gen eral Walter S. Ingalls, to proceed with the formation of troop of cavalry in your town as requested. If there is , any way that 1 can facilitate this work, or cooperate with yourself and the other signers of the petition, kind ly feel free to command me-"
 A letter from Adjutant General In gals states that Captain Edw. s. Lin ton has been ordered to Williams to organize the troop here and proceed with the selection of officers.
 There is still a chance for others to join the troop and any others desiring to enter the troop should give in their names. Of the fifty members of the troop, nearly all will be trained for of ficers and will receive higher pay than is accorded privates.-Williams News

FAVOR OPENING
 INDIAN COAL LANDS

The proposed bill which would open the Indian reservations for coal min ing, is being backed by some of the most influential mining and engineer ing associations of the country accord ing to Dean G. M. Butler, who recent ly returned from attending the meet ing of the Colorado state chapter, American Association of Engineers. The meeting was held in conjunction with that of other organizations, all of which adopted the bill, although Ari- xona will receive the greatest benefit by being able to compete with New Mexico and other states in production.
 According to Dr. Butler, the bill is now supported by the American Min ing congress, League of the South west, secretary of the department of the interior, director of the United States bureau of mines and the Amer ican Association of Engineers.
 Large deposits of coal on the. Nav ajo reservation would be opened through the passing of this bill. It

MORE GAME IN ARIZONA THAN
 EVER BEFORE, SAYS WARDEN

"Game is more plentiful in Arizona this season than ever before and this department wishes to congratulate the sportsmen of Arizona because we believe that the abundance of all game is the result of the sportsman spirit displayed by hunters in living up to the game laws" declared the state game warden, Joe V. Procheska.
 "There are only few game hogs left, and we have their number" said Prochaska, who prophesied that most of them would be taken into camp" before the first of the year.
 "An unusual interest has been talk en this season in both fishing and hunting and we are delighted to ses so many women interested in the sports. Woman who never handled a gun are learning to shoot and it is not uncommon to see them practicing at the down town shooting galleries and out in the fields cracking away at jackrabbits and cotton tails"
 In speaking of game conditions in Arizona, one must take into consider tion, he said, condition that has be- come more or less true throughout the state-the encroachment of farms and cities into game territory, the clearing of mesquite groves, the cut ting of timber and the advance of the farmer and miner into every nook and corner that once was refuge for all kinds of game. Although our popu- lation has increased 65 per cent in 1 ten years, we can safely estimate that our game has increased 30 per cent during the past five years.

In loving remembrance of our dear
father, William Fl. Conway, who de-
parted this life Oct. 8, 1918.
Two years ago since you departed,
From our midst to Heaven above,
And to thy grave we often wander
And think Father why hast thou
left US.
Dearest father, could you speak to us
And could you live again,
Our aching hearts would then be
healed,
But this we wish in vain.
Above in the silent graveyard,
; Meath the sod and the dew;
Never one moment forgotten,
Our hearts idol,we still think of
you.
The flowers we placed upon thy grave,
May wither and decay,
But love for them who sleep beneath
Will never fade away.
By his SON and daughter-in-law,
blanche and Charles.
Oft to the graveyard we wander,
FLOWERS to strew with tender care,
On the grave ofSny dear grandpa
who is lonely sleeping there.
By his grandchild. Helen Conway.
In sad but loving remembrance of
my dear brother, Prvt Reuben A.
pitcher, who made the supreme
sacrifice, two years ago, Oct. II, 1918.
Not for self, but all for justice,
And for honor true and bright,
Was for these he gave his hearts
blood,
when he perished in the fight.
Peaceful be. thy rest, dear brother,
'Tis sweet to breathe thy name;
In life, / loved you dearly,
In death, do the same.
Have you a brOtEer2
Then love him well:
While he is here on earth,
Do not wait until death. to appreciate
their precious worth.

How we watch to see him coming,
How we waited to hear him call,
We can never orget the parting,
That long but sad goodby.
He left only for awhile
In other hands to die;
ftrief and pride the story told
When the blue star turn to gold.
We think of him in silence,
No eyes can see US weep,
But many silent tear we shed
When others are sleep.
BY his mother and father.
A beautiful life here is ended,
A dear good brother laid to rest;
Dear Clarence whom we all loved,
Was taken at his best.
AS we walk to see your grave
In the quiet summer hours;
/ will speak your name softly.
And cover your. grave with flowers.
