LOCAL NOTES
 FROM ADAMANA

diIO WInS ms dolDf0ok family to
 visit him.
 Joe Thomas says the water is
 as, low now in the Rio Puerco as
 he has ever seen it. It is some
 dry here.
 Mir. Ward i've did not learn
 whether his given name was
 Montgomery or noD who is a
 missionary from Indian Wells.
 IS visiting our merchant, Mr. R.
 k. Alton. here. Mir. Ward knew
 Mr. Alton years ago out on the reservation. Even at that time
 MT. Ward says Bob wore trous- CTS and had quit living in Hogans and all that sort of thing. He says in. fact be acted very much as he does now.
 The constituents of Senator Saunders should petition the sen ator to introduce and work for measure in the Senate to aid
 by proper Legislation our much neglected water ways in Apache County. We have right at our very door an example of thls neglect. Look at the Rio Puerco. Of what benefit is that stream at present to the public? Now If 1t were properly dredeed from Gallup to Holbrook and a tug boat and a line of barRes with MT. Edward Bargeman of Houck as captain was put ia operation from Gallup to Hol- brook and intermediate points. and loaded with coal from Gal lup, the cost of our coal would be very much reduced. And the barges need not be returned empty either. They could be loaded with old ties from Hol- brook and crude oil and petrifisd wood from Adamana. Landing docks could be made at Hennin's grist mill at Pinto, and at Joe Thomas landing at Adamana. We understand Holbrook has splendid docking facilities. Now wont somebody deveIope a little Pep" and start something?
 Mrs. A. J. Kosta, who for sev- eral ears six months and six teen days was our agent and first trick operator here, was in Adamana again Tuesday super intending the packing and mark ing of her household goods for shipment to some point in Cal ifornia. where we understand she intends to remain forever and ever and aye. Her many friends here in Adamana wish her success in her new venture of trying to handle the English alphabet Gone letter at tIme) and also admire her good judge ment in commencing with the letter Aye first.
 Mrs. O. R. Reed, wife of op- orator Reed of Chambers was shopping in Adamana Thursday. The fact that Mrs. Reed left her home town and passed through Navajo. Pinto and Bibo to trade in Adamana, cerainly shows en- terprise on the part of our mer- chants here in attracting lhe trade from those other four towns.
 Quite a number of tourists have been complaining recently about the unkempt condition of our lawns here in Adamana; es- Decially those at the Santa Fe depot and section house (occu- pied by W. O. Morgan.) We overheard one lady remarking that the lawns could at least be kept moved and the dandylions and other weeds kept cut out.
 There is a disease among the Chickens" here called ',Lim- berneck" MaJor Jensen says, Gee, 1 hope it wont spread ss far East as Chambers" It looks like the Major was widening his range a little, does it not?
 The Litery Digest of April 30 quotes the Norfolk Virginian Pilot as saying that America needed more little red school houses but not any more RED school teachers. I wonder whom the Little Old Virg1nisn Paper is alludin' to anyway? He better not come to Adsmana and go to kicking on the color of our
