Chambers of Stafford had been disqualified will sentence Lee on De- cember 12. Bunyan Evans and Lloyd Evans, charged jointly with Lee, will be tried on that date.

GRAZING EXPERT TO
 BECOME SUPERVISOR OF
 APACHE NATIONAL FOREST

The Albuquerque office U. s. for est service announces the promotion of J. H. Sizer of Roosevelt to forest supervisor of the Apache national forest with headquarters at Spring erville. MT. Sizer is not new either to the service or to the Apache forest, on which he was at one time ranger and later deputy supervisor. His long experience in the service, where for the past ten years he has been close ly in touch with the stock industry of Arizona, makes him especially quail fled to handle the Apache forest. This forest, which lies in the White noun tains, has large timber resources, which because of distance from the railroad, are now inaccessible and very little timber is cut. It, however, has a well developed stock industry, supporting as it does 45,000 cattle and 10000 sheep. Mir. Sizer is ex- pected to arrive at Springerville early in December.
 The present supervisor, R. J. Sel- kirk, will leave the service at the end of the year and settle in the Salt River valley where he has acquired farm interests.

SOLDIER CHARGED WITH
 CRIME AT FIT. APACHE

One of the most revolting cases of its kind occurred last week at Ft. Apache. Private Jackson, who was a prisoner in the guard-house, was ordered to the garbage dump on fa- tigue duty. Private Washington, his guard, on seeing an Indian woman approach, handed Jackson his revol- yer, ordering him to hold the gun at the woman's head while he ravished her. Washington then took the gun and intimidated the helpless woman while Jackson committed the rape.
 The charge is denied by the prison CTS, but the government investigator who was called into the case says that unimpeachable evidence pointing to their guilt is now in his hands. The case will be taken before the grand jury at Globe early in December Holbrook News.

BOARD OF REGENTS
 CREATES NEW
 COLLEGE OF EDUCATION

The university board of regents created college of education at their meeting last Friday, and placed Dr. J. o. Creager at it's head.
 This expansion in the organization of the work of the university is the natural outcome of the growth of the institution under Dr. von KleinSmid's leadership. Rapid increase of enroll ment in courses for teachers and de- mand on the part of young men for courses bearing upon school admins tration created problems which could only be met by a new organization. A college of education authorized by the board of regents and the faculty to offer its own courses and recom- mend its own degrees is the natural solution. Such college will rank, as a professional school, with colleges of engineering, agriculture, law, etc., and will dignify the profession of teaching by placing it on a par with other professions.
 Professor J. o. Creager, who came to the university from the Normal school at Flagstaff year ago as di- rector of the school of education, be- comes dean of the new college of edu- cation. He has had extensive experi- ence in the training of teachers, hay ing been for eight years, dean of the college of education in the university of Wyoming, two years state com missioner of education for the state of Wyoming and two years president of the Northern Arizona Normal school at Flagstaff. Speaking of the outlook for the new. college of educa- ton, professor Creager says; "Never before have prospects looked so hope ful for a real profession of teaching. Higher standards are rapidly being created, salaries have risen apace with such standards, until honest prepara- ton for a genuine profession is be- ing justified. Young men, as well as women, are realizing the new oppor- tunities for genuine service that lie open and are preparing for admins trative positions. The new college of education hopes to be able thus to meet the new demands arising and to do its share in the work of build- ing a greater Arizona"
