in 1928, sent out by the Rocky
Mountain Fur company. In the
few decades that followed there
were times when game was scarce
and they, like their Indian COM
panions studied carefully the
habits of the game, and they
knew where to find the wild ami
mails at different parts of the sea-
son. There were certain times
when the hunters and trappers
Jared very badly if they did not
understand the habits of such ami
mails as were used for food.
Hords of Wild Game
In the later part Of winter,
when the snow was not yet off of
the foot hills, and in the latter
Fart OF summer when the desert
wastes were parched and food was
scarce there was an assembling
OF wild game of all the kinds that
lived on grass and heritage at
place where the grass was more
easily obtained and where there
was better quality than any
where else in the country.
The Great Mosquito Bank
That place was in the large
basin lying to the north and west
of the great bend of Snake river,
just below where the north fork
and the south fork come together,
The locality of this bend is now
known as Roberts and for long
time the station was known as
Market Lake. The way it came to
be named was that in these early
days, when game was nowhere to
be found in all the rest of the
country, traders and trappers and
indian tribes could go out to the
great basin lying northwest of the
big bend of the river and find
plenty of game and the game
would be well fed. At high water
time the mosquitoes were abroad
in numbers represeted by multi
piled billions.
This region was supplied with
water flowing in from the north
ward in the dry season and this
kept the Vegetation green and
good after the rest Of the country
was parched.
The men of the plains came to
know that going to the old lake
bed in that locality was like 60
ing to market. They would al
ways get plenty of everything.

A Great Game Drive

The last great roundup of wild
game and the one that received
the most publicity of anything
that happened there in connection
with hunting, in the memory of
the present generation, was a rab-
bit drive on the first of January,
1895. 1t had been well adver-
tised and great preparations were
made for assembling the rabbits
in the stock yards ready for ship
ment. People gathered from
everywhere and the line of people
encircled the great plains for
miles. Rabbits were plentiful
everywhere and a few coyotes
were seen at intervals in the cir
Gle. Rabbits were scurrying to
and fro by the multiplied thou
sands with here and there
coyote rushing around among
them needless CT their presence.
Excitement of the Chase
1t was very exciting time and
a new experience to most of the
people taking part in it. A great
open space between the wings
that guided the rabbits into the
stock yards, by the railroad track,
was moving mass of jack rab-
bits and as they poured into the
gates at the stock yards they piled
up against the fences like drifted
snow and smothered and died by
hundreds. A double-decked sheep
car placed at the chute was filled
with rabbits where they also piled
up and smothered in great num-
bers.
Carload of Rabbits
The car doors were closed and
it was sealed and shipped to Salt
Lake City. On the following
Tuesday those that remained alive
were secreted- in crates and boxes
where the new state officials were
being sworn into office on the
front Of the capitol building and
when the ceremonies were COM
pleted these crates were upset and
the rabbits turned loose among
the unsuspecting crowds.
Turned Loose in the City
1t was great sport that followed
with everybody surprised and all
hands trying to catch the rabbits.

the country was good for the produc-
tion of hogs. When the foreman
read it he laughed little and said
1t was editorial all right.
The day after the paper was
mailed out, a couple of men came in
to ask me what l meant by that slur
in the paper about no fruit and all
hogs. / had not thought of the in
habitants coming in with their

asked them If they had received

we needed some editorial before we
could go to press. l sat studying for
a few minutes and then went to him
and asked what AN editorial was.
He studied a moment and said, IAN

PREPARING FOR SUMMER
 SESSION OF ARIZONA
 STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

Active preparations have been be- gun for the work of the summer ses- sion of the Northern Arizona Normal School. The summer circular is off the press and ready for distribution. Activities have been begun to list the city of Flagstaff for available rooms. A special faculty has been secured in addition to the regular corps of in structors. The 1920 summer school will be more comprehensive in it's course of instruction than any preced- ing summer.
 Teachers in the State of Arizona are looking with interest and pleasure to this session at Flagstaff. Never before were educational interests as great nor educational progress as noticeable. Boards of Education and superintendents are urging teachers to attend the summer schools. Many Boards are paying the expenses of their teachers when in attendance of such institutions.
 Of all the cities in the west, Flag staff is best suited for intensive study during the months of June, July and August. The pleasant days and the cool nights are conducive to health and work; the magnificent scenery with opportunities for hikes and ex- cursions give the ambitious teacher and student all the needed opportunity for rest and recreation. In a short ride, they may pass from the cool breezes of the Normal School to the torrid heat of the desert.
 Flagstaff and vicinity offer many attractive studies to persons who are interested in lava beds, ice caves, cliff dwellings, pine forests, lumber camps and Lake Mary, with it's boating, fish ing and swiming.
 Courses for teachers, prospective teachers, high school students and commercial workers are offered dur ing the summer Special courses for the advanced teacher in junior high school and special problems of the non English speaking children and rural school problems are offered.
 Lectures by such noted men as Dr.. Winship of Boston, Dr. Shawkey, State Supt. of West Virginia, Dr.. Dearborn of Harvard, Dr. Won Klein smid and Dr. Lockwood of Arizona; entertainments by Bertha Kunz Bak- CT, dramatic reader from New York City; the Lotus Quartet; band con cests are provided. Recreation fac ilities, games and outing are afforded.
 The dormitories, dining hall, library and laboratories are all at the dispos- al of the students of the summer ses- sion. The training school will be in session the entire period.

K|NChAN WATER SELLERS
 MAY BE RESTRAINED

The state corporation commission has acted on the matter of the hear ing of the Kingman water cases and the order has been handed down re- quiring all who are now selling water and who began the delivery since the 29th day of April, 1912, to make ap- plication for certificate of convenient ce within thirty days after the pro mitigation of the order, and failing to do so the parties must cease the de- livery of water to customers before the 7th day of May, 1920.
 The hearing of this case came up before the commission several months ago on application of parties holding certificates of convenience, that the parties were selling water without permits and asked that they be re- strainedfrom the delivery of water. A good many people having wells in town have been delivering to neigh bors, their pipe lines having been laid many years. The amount of water de- livered would hardly pay them to make application for permits and at tend a protracted meeting of the com mission to show that they were en- titled to deliver water to any place in the town. Some of these have houses tenanted to which they are delivering water and these will probably fight any order of the commission that seeks to put them out of the delivery of water to their own property, and we note that the order of the commits sion rather relieves them of the obli- gation.
 One of the findings of the commits sion is that it would be better for the water users of the town if one central company could deliver all the water necessary, but that the com pany having failed so to do others would be allowed to supply the defic- iency, but must first obtain permit and file their schedule of rates. We take it that the commission is holding itself down in line with the decision of the superior Court of Yuma coun- ty, which held that the order of the commission creating monopoly. in the operation of stages. was without the purview of the constitution of the state

Owing to lack of space in last weeks issue of the Miner we were not able to mention all of the good work dis played by pupils of Mrs Martins class at the recital last week. In or der to not do the young ladies an in justice we wish to mention the follow ing in addition to those already com mented on.
 "Nola," silhouette by Helen Cham bers showed much technical ability.
 The Shepherds Dream" by Loula Goodwin, showed much skill and work. Also "Orchids" by Mamie Stephens" " Beautiful Thoughts of Love-" by Juanita Walsh and Meditation by Morel", played by Leona Wagner were particularly worthy of mention.

CATHOLIC WOMEN TOLD
 MUST DRESS MODESTLY

Catholic bishops of the country have been denouncing womens' dress or rather lack of it, but it remained for an Arizona priest to bluntly tell his women congregation that none of them would be admitted to his church unless they were properly appareled. At Phoenix a. few days ago a notice was posted on the door of St. Mary's Catholic church to the eff feet that Entrance into this church is forbidden to women wearing low necked dresses" and was signed by Rev. Father P. Novatus.
 This is probably the beginning of a crusade of the church against the wearing of decolette costumes in pub lie.
