This highly interested fact brought by Mr. Theodore Price

SAYS ARIZONA HAS LARGE
 NUMBER OF WILD ANIMALS

According to statement issued by Dr. C. Hart Merriman, we'll known bi- ologist connected with the Smithson- ian Institute, Arizona boasts the greatest number of grizzly bears with the exception of the Yellowstone national park section, where bears are exceedingly numerous.
 Dr. Merriman gives as his authority reports received by the Smithsonian Institute and he further states that bears are also in New Mexico.
 Other wild animals are known to be exceedingly numerous throughout the forest reserve in Arizona, the lobo or timber wolf predominating.
 These wolves have reached such numbers that the services of & trap per have been requested but as yet no action has been taken on the request. The wolves are running singly and in packs and their raids on herds in the Coronado reserve are causing heavy loss in young colts and calves.
 These wolves are said to be particu- larly fierce and campaign towards their ultimate extinction is planned for the immediate future.

THE FEDERATED CHURCH

The big missionary conference is over for this year. It brought many helpful and inspiring things to us. We thank God for these blessings. Certainly some vital truths were brought to us from the speakers and through the message of song by Mir. and Mrs. Hardness. The Bible lectur- es by Dr. Oliver, from Galatians, was very helpful to christian peoeple. The program given by MT. and Mrs. Hark- ness on Monday evening at the Feder- ated church was exceedingly good and we trust they will be permitted to come to us again. The two sermons that Dr. Oliver preached here in the church will be remembered with profit for long time to come by those who heard them. We know the helpful and inspiring influences of the associations with the missionaries who are work ing out in the desert country among the Indians will also inspire us to do greater service for our Lord. The Women's missionary conference at the grounds was visited by Gods spirit in a marvellous way and it was pathetic indeed to hear the reports from the missionaries regarding the opposition on the part of the uncon- verted Indians, not only to the miss ionaries but toward the native work CTS. Let us pray for this work. We know that our own people have been greatly interested and also helped by this conference and we are looking forward with new hope and greater courage. Let us make our mid-week service count for all good possible. The Sunday school was running up in attendance until the last Sunday or two on account of the rains. Let us renew our efforts to get the children and the young people who do not at tend elsewhere to come with us. The pastor will preach next Sunday morn ing from Luke, 5:17-26. The evening message will deal with the Power of the Church in Modern Times" We also wish to speak our appreciation to the Normal and University stu dents who have been with us during the summer. Your inspiring leader ship has helped us very much. Come again. All are welcome to all our services.
 W. H. LOOK, Pastor.

SAYS PEOPLE WANT
 SAVER METHODS USED

Whether the sentiment reported to favor interpretation Of the Volstead law in such manner as to permit the manufacture and sale of beer and wine in the United States is sufficient ly strong in congress to bring about such action remains to be seen, but that saner methods of enforcement of the prohibition statutes and regula- tions is a policy of the administration is very evident. Passage by the house of the amendment to the Willis Campbell anti-beer bill, providing that no mans house shall be searched without warrant, and that no war rant shall issue unless there is reason to believe that liquor is manufactured on the premises for sale, is very strong indication that congress is in sympathy with those who feel that methods of prohibition agents have been governed too much by a desire to up hold anti-alcohol sentiments without regard to personal rights as guaranteed by the constitution.
 The fact is that legislators, as well as the public, are becoming tired of the ceaseless and, in many cases, of- ficious interference of organizations formed for prohibition furtherance in legislative affairs. Resentment has been shown openly by members of both house and senate and the cause of prohibition has not been benefited thereby.
 It is an old saying that the best way to repeal bad law is to enforce it rigidly. It is possible that unwise enforcement of good law may ulti- mately have the same effect. There fore friends of prohibition will rejoice at the adoption of measure by the house, the purpose of which is to re- move possibility of infringement of personal rights of American citizens. Too much zeal is harmful if not wise ly exercised.-Douglas Dispatch.

PLANS TO BUILD A $lO,O0O HUNTING
 LODGE IN FLAGSTAFF

c. R. ("Arizona') Edwards, who writes The Sun that he will be here within ten days, sends the following clipping from the Long Beach (Calif. ) Press:
 A big game hunting organization, now being incorporated under the name of the Arizona Big Game Hunting and Outing company and capitalized at s1OO,0O0, has openec a main booking office in the First Ma tional bank building, with c. K. "Ari- zona" Edwards, guide for many big game hunting expeditions in the wilds of Arizona and promoter of the new corporation, in charge.
 The principal place of business will be at Flagstaff, where the company's field office and trading post will be maintained. The main booking office will be in Long Beach, with branches in all of the principal cities of the United States, according to MT. Ed wards. The purpose of the organiza- tion is to take personally conducted hunting, fishing and outing parties through the big game section of Ari- LOhd WHSic wv pcAuiohcHS diiu SSh moveable camps will be maintained with guides, horses, pack mules cooks and trained dogs at the dispos- al of the company's guests.
 Backing the corporation are sports men prominent as big game hunters all of whom have an active part in conducting the affairs of the company An unique feature of the orgaiza- tion will be the wonsen's division, ov- CT which Mrs. Maud King, formerly of Graybull, Wyo., will preside. Mrs King, as well as Mrs. Emma D. Gib- son, are directors of the corporation and Mrs. King, who has hunted in practically all of the big game centers of the world, will escort the fair him. rods through the Arizona wilds. She expects to build log cabin home al Flagstaff, where she will reside when not in the field.
 Mir. Edwards, president and gener. al manager of the company, is well known as a guide. He also organized the Montezuma Lodge company, oi which George Winstead of this city is president, which now is building a lodge in the mountains twenty-five miles from Flagstaff. The big game hunt for the lodge will be conducted by the Arizona Big Game Hunting corporation and the two will work to- gether in exploiting the attractions of the Arizona mountains.
 The company plans to erect a Sl0,. 900 trading post at Flagstaff, a shor' distance from the railroad where fourteen transcontinental trains stor daily, from which the hunting expe- ditions will be equipped and started on the hunt,

THE GREAT DIFFERENCE AS
 TO WHO MAKES MISTAKES

Let a man make a mistake in his conversation, or even in a letter he may have addressed to you, and you pay little attention to it. But let the same mistake appear in newspaper and it sticks out like sore thumb it seems to stand right out above ev- erything else in the paper. We'll ven- ture to say there are not half-dozen Holbrook citizens who have the least idea of the vast number of metal pieces contained in single column of newspaper. But there of hundreds of pieces to each column, and the dis placement of single one of these usually means an error. When this is considered you get a pretty good idea of how easy it is to make a mis- take in print. And yet, considering that there are more chances for mak- ing mistake on a single page of . newspaper than there is in writing . hundred letters, the newspaper possi- bly, contains fewer errors than any other form of written or printed com munication. It might be good idea, if you are among those who can't un- derstand why an occasional mistake creeps into the paper, to drop around to a newspaper office sometime and have it explained for your benefit Holbrook News.

DISTANCE ALWAYS ! ssg.
 LENDS ENCHANTNIENT

Hopi snake dances are held this month in remote places in northern Arizona. Thousands of tourists will go to the Indian villages of Walpi and Mishonovi, camp out, cook their meals over smoky campfires, and witness one of the most remarkable pagan rites ever celebrated.
 The Hopis will stamp on 8 plank laid over pit to notify the dead that the dance is about to commence. Then 100 or 150 rattlesnakes with full equipment of fangs and poison glands, will be brought out and the dance will begin. The participants will twine the snakes about them or fondle them in their hands as they dance. And when one is bitten-that occurs but seldom-he will drink snakebite remedy not in conflict with the prohi- bition laws and there will be no caus- ualty reports.
 It is a remarkable spectacle, but even fewer southwestern folks go to see it than go to the Grand Canyon. The spectators come from long dis tances, mostly, and at large expense. If the Governors Palace, the Cliff Dwellings, the Painted Desert, the Petrified Forest, the Grand Canyon the Hopi Dances, Hueco Tanks, the White Sands, and Cloudcroft were To- cated in the northeast corner of Maine more southwestern people would see them.
 Remoteness cannot serve as an ex- cuse. The more remote wonderful thing is, the more effort people will make to get there, Human nature works that way.-El Paso Herald.

WHAT COMES FROM DRIVING TOO CLOSE
 TO BENDER

Speaking of snakes and things Dad" Stetson, well known rent car driver, has better one than anything that has been heard in these parts yet. Dad" Stetson's snake had two legs, but that isn't the worst; it was half rattlesnake and half ringed bull snake. If it was anyone but "Dad' Stetson who saw it-but listen:
 Mir. and Mrs. Stetson and their daughter drove over the divide Thurs day on their way to the valley. On the far side of the divide Mir. Stet- son stopped to repair leaky spark plug. Mrs. Stetson and her daughter walked little way up the road while they were waiting, to look at a big snake that was lying dead in the road. Their exclamations of surprise brought query from Stetson.
 "COme here" Mrs. Stetspn called, "this snake has two legs"
 "Ha, hal" said Mir. Stetson, q can't be bothered. Got to get this spark plug fixed"
 q tell you it has," said Mrs. Stet- son. Come here at once"
 "Dad" Stetson was worried. He thought maybe the heat-but he went to have a look. At first glance it looked like an ordinary big rattle snake, but closer examination showed that the tail of the snake was ringed instead of diamond backed. At the point where the ringed part merged into the diamond-backed part two small rudimentary legs with feet pro- truded from the body. The head was that of a rattlesnake. The tip of the tail had been cut off, and Stetson thinks it probably had rattles or some unusual growth on it. The snake had been shot and left in the road.
 Stetson and the Review would like to hear from the man who shot the snake to find out what was on the tail that was cut off.-Bisbee Review.

HOME BREwERIES CAN BREW
 ACCORDING TO HOUSE BILL

Any householder could have home brew under interpretations placed up on an amendment to the Willis-C Camp bell beer bill, approved by the house.
 The amendment adopted as a sub stitute for senate provision, would require federal agents to have war rants before entering homes in search of liquor. It provides, how ever, that no warrant shall be issued for search of home unless there is reason to believe such dwelling is used as place in which liquor is manufac- tured for sale, or sold"

GUMSHOE vOLSTEADER
 STARTLES WINSLOW

Something of a sensation was sprung in Holbrook this week when the report got out that thirty-three residents of Winslow had been impli- cated in bootleggihg and other inter- esting cases, which the report had it that a Burns detective had unearthed in the railroad town. It is said that the detective was a representative of the American Bankers association, and on the side was working for the dry enforcement, drawing down a double emolument. We are not very familiar with the facts, but we are told that the gumshoe man posed as a representative for Tom Mix, the movie man, hired men to ride bron- chos, purchase booze for him, contract ed with automobile people to furnish number of cars to take the show people out to the Navajo Indian Res ervation to make films, and did lot of other unheard-of things. One dep uty sheriff is said to have decamped without drawing his salary, while an other official is said to have become implicated.
 The gumshoe detective is also said to have been working up cases where in some people had been saying naughty things about banks and bank CTS.
 We are told that the names of the parties had been turned over to the county attorney for prosecution. From the manner in which the evidence had been secured, the Holbrook Tribune believes little will be done in the mat ter. It don't look like good, square shooting in this western country. We don't generally do things in that man" ner in Arizona.-Holbrook Tribune.
