 Mrs. G. N. MacBean was very pleasantly surprised on the receipt of word that some California and Phoenix friends were enroute to De- troit and would pass through Holbrook. Mrs. MacBean thereupon took the train to WinsloW Monday, returned on the train from Phoenix with her friends, and had a most delightful visit until the train reached Holbrook.

NAVAJO DEMOCRATS GIVE
 THEIR COMING OUT PARTY

for last Saturday was set Tn motion a little late by the non-arrival on number eight of Chairman Samson, but the interval elapsing gave the guests a chance to look around and size up the faith ful that were to participate in grooming the various can didates that are champing the bit to get off in Septem- sbar-and some of them prob ably will when the primary ballots are counted.
 The decorations at the party were forget-me-nots and johnny-junp-ups, inter- spersed here and there with the popular wall flower, gath cred from many fields.
 The most noticeable fea- ture to a stranger was the wonderful atmosphere of harmony with a big H-that oft times represents some- thing else in a looming out party"
 There was absolutely no scramble or excitement that one generally looksfor when a political pie is opened and the four and twenty birds begin to twitter.
 All the preliminary rabble about sll the attorneys in the county lining up with their elbows on the table to grab off the county attorney job was knocked sky high it was newspaper bunk---for when that course was an- nounced there was a dead siIence---not a candidate in sight---for the only two that were chasing this bee around the corridors were caucus ing outside, and later on came in to the peace table arm in arm bearing a round robin and an olive branch, and Greer admitted that he and Ferguson had signed an armistice, and for the veal of the party and the candi- dates involved, he had decid- ed to move from the office of county attorney to that of school superintendent, and magnanimously laid the palm at the feet of Fergu- son---and it was such a sur prise to Ferguson to find himself the only remaining aspirant, in sight, at least, that he responded with a get-together speech, and it was sincere, that would have made Bryan blush for his "crown of thorns,- etc." and wound up with an appropri- ate little quotation from Milton:
 "To give a kingdom hath been thought
 6ssaler and nobler done. and to lay down
 Far more magnanimous than to assume
 E lch candidate in turn put his own name in the pot except J. J. Brady, of Sho- low, who had a representa- tive present to let his CO., horts know that his heart was not faint---and he was with them, by proxy at least.
 Miss Drumm was the only member of the fair sex pres ent, and all the attention was hers when she modestly announced that she would endeavor to stem the tide for the office of recorder.

and this IS the only berth that stood with more office than candidate.
 There was a killing frost Friday night in the south end of the county and a whole row of little hot air booms came up to the party Saturday with chillblains.
 Robert Moore, of Winslow candidate for senatorial hon. ors, was present and threw his lid into the ring by an nouncing his ambitions and giving an outline of policies he would pursue should he be successful in getting by.
 o. Dear, Flake, of Snow flake, modestly admitted that of all the plums being wished on the deserving ones, he chose that of repre- sentative, and he was grant ed his wish so far as electing him then and there was con- cerned.
 After the political tree had been shaken of the last remaining fruit, the happy but anxious aspirants, join ed by several interested vis- itors from neighboring tribes that came to the. meeting ing with a dull axe, joined in a social testimonial meet ing, and the prognostica- tions for the success of the entire democratic ticket from the home of TamanY to the hamlet of SholoW brighten ed up thespirits of the faith full and made one glad to be. in the presence of such ef- fervescing optimism.
 Nearly every man present made a speech or handed in a testimonial-at least was given the oDpOrtunitV-and the one big noise that per the ozone was har- mony before and especially after the primaries.
 Jas. M. Flake, one of the old wheel horses in carting democracy out of many a l rut in Navajo county, said that if the one above would forgive him for once being a candidate he would never be a comeback, and as the golden text for the session seemed to be harmony" he would venture a few re- on rings, " and gave out the wholesome advice to those who knew of an exist ing ring to get into it, for a "ring horse was worth con- siderable more to a circus than the one that pulled the stakes after the show" <" or words to that effect.
 Every candidate promised to be a good sport, play the game fair; use adobe only for constructive purposes; put his shoulder to the wheel for the election of the man that defeated him for the nomination-and the party of the second part will have a rocky road over the politi- cal lane paved with such good intentions---for a voter changes his mind often, al candidate never does. He will still love, honor and obey the mandates of his own party -=- through the thick of the fight and the thin of the returns---as wit ness that old democratic wheel horse, William Jen- nings Bryan, flirting with the prohibitionists for the presidential nomination and Haunting an arid flag in the face of the Kentucky col onelsand Missouri democrats who have sat at his feet for a quarter of a century---and he was a good democrat, too.

Jas. w. Scott and wife are spending a few days in Hol- brook. It is said that he is slated for the nomination for state senator on the re- publican ticket. MT. Scott has been a resident of Nav ajo county for many years; was a member of the con- stitutional convention, and has held many offices and positions of trust in Navajo and Apache counties, and acquitted them with credit; is a man of affairs, and when it comes to real. friendships he has enough of them branded, both democrats and republicans, to worm a weary sigh from the other guy when it comes to get ting by to the senate.
 Miss Margurite Drumm makes her announcement this week that she will be a candidate before the prim- aries for the nomination of recorder of Navajo county. Miss Drumm is the present efficient incumbent of this office, and her election to this responsible position is assured---and the reason is the fact that every one who has had business in this office during her incumbency remarks on the satisfactory manner in which the coun- tvs business is conducted here, and Miss Drumm is going back on merit alone. Everything is o K at the re- corder's office today---and when you're satisfied you'd be a---well, stay that way.
 A candidate writes the News to inquire how it hap pens that he is not given a few lines in support of his candidacy for office. The fact of the matter is we did not know that he was in the race, nor will the voters if. he expects to get by the tal- ly clerks on hot air. This reminds us of the widow of a merchant that never ad- vertised who called the edi- tor down for not noticing the shuffiing off of her tight wad spouse. He figured that as he never advertised he never was alive and there fore his kicking out of the race was not news.

The work of moving the giant
equestrian statue and of setting IL
up on the base, which has been
waiting for nearly fifteen years, will
probably be begun tomorrow.
The task of fashioning the me-
mortal has been tremendous. That
fact, together with the delays re-
sulting from war conditions, explain
the long wait, said Moore.
The competition for this statue
was held in 1902. It is the work of

PACKERSOFFER
PLAN TOSPLIT'
Proposed Procedure Said to
Be Approved by Justice
Department.

Absolute dissolution of control
over all stockyards- and terminals
by the packers is assured by a plan
that will be submitted to the Dis
trict Supreme Court by counsel for
the Big Five" today.
Under the new plan the packers
will be allowed to retain certain
stocks in the various yards, but un-
der such drastic restrictions that it
will be impossible for them to Sc
cure anything like control. 1t was
indicated that Assistant Attorney
General Galloway will recommend
that it be accepted when submitted
to the court today.
1t is understood the packers have
met every objection raised by the
Department of Justice against the
original plan, submitted early last
month pursuant to a court decree
entered by agreement. At that time
the packers offered to dispose of
their stockyard and terminal inter.
ests to a holding company to be Or
ganized by Frederick NJ. Prince &
Co, of Boston.
The government entered objection,
contending chiefly that nothing
could be found in the proposed plan
to prevent the packers from domi-
mating the holding company.

BY ARMY Filler
1000 Mile Nonstop Flight
Over Caribbean Declared
Unequaled.

A nonstop flight Of one thousand
miles by Lieut.. Charles B. Austin
over the Caribbean Sea was pro-
nounced by Brig. Gen. William
Mitchell here yesterday as being the
most remarkable ever made by an
army aviator.
Austin had started from France
Field. near. Cristobai, on the ffrst
flight ever attempted from the Ca
nal Zone to Washington. He was
accompanied seventy-hve miles out
to sea by two planes. which turned
| back. leaving Austin to make the
| flight alone.
4, When five hundred miles out, Aus
tin encountered tropical hurricanes
! which tossed his plane about like
|, a chip in the air and threatened
every moment to dash him into the
sea On one occasion his plane
Lieut.. Austin says, was within
] twenty-five. feet of mountain high
waves. To make matters worse the
propeller of the plane became slight
ly deranged.
At this moment fate favored Aus
tin and the hurricane whirled away
He Immediately turned back to his
starting point at France Field, which
| he reached after being ten and a
half hours in the air.
Austin, Gen. Mitchell, says, Will
try again.

N. Y. MILK MEN
Violate Law If They Ship
Into District, He Says
In Letter.
COURT ACTION LIKELY
Attorneys for Merrill Soule
Co. Line Up Against Local
Health Officer.

DR.. William c. Fowler, District
health officer. yesterday warned the
Merrill soule Company, of New York
City, that its membership of 1s2
milk producers, all OF New York
State. would violate District laws
II they shipped milk into Washing
ton without health department per-
mits.
DR.. Fowler rejected the applica-
tions for permits of the New York
concerns entire membership. stating
that the applications failed to show
that the milk in question came from
tuberculin tested cattle.
The health officer said he antici-
pates a legal controversy and is
ready for IT. Walter ]. Carlin, at
torney for the Merrill Soule Com
pany, and who filed the applications,
is expected by DR.. Fowler to col
laborate with Matthew E. O'Brien,
attorney for a number of local deal
ers. in an effort to prove that the
health department is without au-
thority to order or enforce the tu-
berculin test

James A Mclaughlin. general sec
retary of the Maryland and Vir-
ginia Milk Producers Association,
yesterday personally assured DR..
Fowler of the associations support
in the milk fight. The association S
membership furnishes practically the
entire District milk supply.
1T is a matter of life and death
to your organization" Fowler told
Mclaughlin. IF 1 should fail in
this case, il would mean death to
your association, because the great
outside shipments of milk would
swamp the market"
The Maryland and Virginia pro-
ducers are practically the only dairy
farmers in the country who submit
to the tuberculin test.
DR.. Fowler, besides notifying the
Merrill Soule Company of his action,
informed each of the farmers con-
been rejected. He said in his letter
to the company:

IN view of the fact that the
Health Department does not know
il the cattle in question are free
from tuberculosis, the health officer
is not satisfied that milk or cream
produced by such cattle will be
brought into the District of Colum-
bia for sale or consumption with
