BLISTER RI ST STARTS EARLY
THIS YEAR

The white pine blister rust,
new generally distributed in Chi
sage. Isanti. kanabec. and Pine
counties. and occurring in small
spots as far north as Tower,
Minnesota is off with a running
start this year on account of the
early season. Millions of orange
colored spores, so small as to be
invisible to the naked eve. have
already been thrown into the air
by the bursting Of blisters on dis
eased white pines. and carried
miles by the wind on their an
nual pilgrimage towards the
north woods. These spores can
not directly infect another white
pine, but first must take root in
the leaves of wild or cultivated
currant or gooseberry bushes. A
rust then forms on the under
side of the currant or gooseberry
leaf which produces spores,
which are able to infect and
eventually cause the death Of
white pine trees. This is the
reason why blister rust can be
controlled and the pines protect
ed by the simple process of up
roofing all currant or goOseber-
~ bushes within two or three
hundred yards of valuable white
pine stands. Neglect of this pre-
caution. if currants and goose
berries are numerous i'm the vi
cinlty, is the same as signing q
death warrant for our white
pines. The white pine blister
rust is a disease of European orr
gin. introduced into the United
States during the past twenty
years. and first found in Min
nesota in 1916. Information re-
garding the control of this dis
ease may be obtained from the
Estate Entomologist, University
Farm, st. Paul or from the State
Forester. st. Paul, Minnesota.

GARLAND PRAIRIE BAR
 BECUE A BIG SUCCESS

The Garland Prairie Barbe- cue held last Sunday at Hull Springs proved a success in ev- cry way despite the rains. Near 200 people were present. The barbecued dinner was one of the best ever offered and there was plenty for all present. The speaking, sports, contests and dancing all went off according to program delighting all who were fortunate enough to be present.
 The finances of the affair were carefully handled and all expenses were met. In addl- ton to meeting the expenses of this years barbecue, $2OO was raised to be used in providing permanent picnic grounds near Poison Springs, for future bar becues. The Forest Service has set aside five acres of ground about these springs, to be used for barbecues and picnics. The fund of S20O raised at the bar becue will be used in providing permanent buildings on these grounds for use in other years. Poison Springs are located at the head of Sycamore Canyon and offer one of the loveliest locations for a summer resort that can be found anywhere.
 This isthe Second Annual Garland Prairie Barbecue and plans arealready under way for a bigger and better event for another year. Except for the rain and mud the attendance this year would have been very much larger.

PRESCOTT FOR SOUTH
 ROAD SAYS DIR. OSBURN

pr. J. E. Osburn, veterinary surgeon who is spending a few months in Williams following his profession and working in the interest of the Williamson Valley Farms Company, de- clares that Prescott is strong for the Williams-Clarkda1e- Prescott highway. He is in re- ceipt of a letter from A. w. Davis who will probably be appointed supervisor in Yava- pal county, in which MT. Davis declares himself for the propos- ed road.
 Dr. Osburn states that he has talked. with many influential people in Prescott and that they are unanimous for the road once they have it's advantages presented to them. He insists that any opposition in Yavapai was due to misunderstanding as to the proposed route and the effect it would have on Yav- apai county and Prescott.

WORK BEGUN ON GAR
 LAND PRAIRIE ROAD

J. D. Tannehill was transfer red to the Garland Prairie road, the first of the week, to put that road in repair. It is hoped that he will be able to get the road in shape for the farmers to haul in their produce this fall, despite the havoc wrought by the heavy summer rains.
 Supervisors Rittenhouse and Caring drove out to Garland Prairie Wednesday to view the road upon which M. TannehiN is working. They found the Garland Prairie country an oc- can ofwater and mud that made travel almost impossible. They were forced to turn back and retrace their tracks without having gone over the entire road. The crops are looking fine, and the Supervisors are anxious to get roads in shape to enable the farmers to reach the market with their hay and grain.
 After returning from Gar land Prairie the supervisors drove out to the Ash Fork hill where the State Highway De- partment is busy blasting rock for the new road down the hill The new road will have a much lower grade than the old.

PHOTOGRAPHERS RETURN
 FROM HOPI VILLAGE

The auto party of boys from the Woodcraft League of Cali fornia in charge of Harry c. James, who passed through Williams a little over a week ago enroute for the Hopi Ind ian Village, returned Friday morning and has continued on the return trip to California. The party visited Coleman Lake Grand Canyon, and the Hopi villages and many other points of interest while in this coun- try.
 At the Hopi village one of the boys became such a favo- rite that he was taken thru the Indian rites ma king him a. mem Der of their tribe and was given an Indian name. The ceremony was a very impressive one.
 The party was enthusiastic over the beauty of Coleman Lake, declaring it the most beautiful lake they found in their entire journey.
 This party will probably prove the advance guard of many larger parties to follow, as the Woodcraft League num- bers over 1000 boys in Los An geles.

GARLAND PRAIRIE ITEMS

One hundred and more people braved the elements and att tended the Garland Prairie Barbecue last Sunday at Hull Springs and enjoyed a good barbecued meat and refresh ments: In the evening was a dance which was enjoyed by all. The music was furnished by Claude Thomasson and Frank Bascom
 The people of Garland Prai- rie are petitioning the Forest Service to set aside for per- manent park twenty acres in the vicinity of Poison Spring, more Canyon. Already over S10O has been subscribed for the erection of a pavilion and other buildings. It is intended to build the pavilion so that the people therein can look down the canyon. The park will be used for the annual barbecue as we'll as for other gatherings. Poison Spring is poison in name only, as it is a spring of pure, clear water. Poison Springs is the most scenic and picturesque spot that could be chosen for a park site.
 Bill Morgan is starting to build a new barn. Bill says as soon as he gets the floor in he is going to give a dance.
 J. B. Williams will start building his new house in a few days. John says that after the floor is laid, and before parti- tions are built in, he is going to have house warming bee.
 The Menarey sawmill on the east side of Garland Prairie has had temporary close down, account of the ground being too wet to permit hauling the logs to the mill. If the rains continue, it is thought that per haps the logs can be floated to the mill. The mill will resume operations as soon as the ground dries enough to permit logging.
 Anderson & McMillan have part of their lumber and tank on hand for the erection of new store and gasoline tank at the junction of the Highway with the new Canyon Road north of Maine.

There Were a number of bad bruises and cuts on the back of his head and on his face.
 According to the mans story ne was robbed of about S12.5O but some who knew him claim ed that he came to town with a bigger amount of money. The officers are having much diff culty in trying to piece the case together.
