Road Convention

The delegation appointed from Apache county to meet with other delegations at Holbrook last Saturday to discuss road condi- tions report an excellent time indeed.
 One member of the delegation informs us that he was agreeably surprised at the broad minded ness of Gallup's and Holbrook's people.
 ''The delegation from these towns appreciating the effort put forth by Apache county to build roads to-date about ($4O0, 100000 voted unanimously that we ask the State Highway Commission CT. to make road between St. Johns and Gallup state high way and that we use all our in- fluence to get our state and fed eral government to turn their re- sources that way"
 Outside of the friendship, of the many delegates we found all over town nearly every one re- cognizing the fact that the St. Johns Springerville. Magdalena Road, is the only sensible. feasi- ble road at present, and Maj. ShipIey of Cooley, who happened to be present. in an unbiased way as he had no interest one way or the other reminded us all of what at present was best for the coun- try, and it was pleasing indeed to see Gallup and Holbrook agree with his reasonable, impartial and equitable suggestions.
 We are for you Major because you saw the conditions that exist in the country and without par tiality requested neighboring counties to cooperate with us in makingIthe Zuni Road best in the west.
 The meeting concluded by naming Aug 24th as next meet ing date at which time all Apache county citizens are to be special guests

Thirty-five Years Ago

From the files of The Herald July 28, 1887
 The attention of the authorities of Apache and Yavapai counties is called t. the disgraceful condition of affairs existing on the boundary line which di- vides them. Cattle and horse stealing has there apparently grown to be le- gitimate pursuit and until it has almost killed the efforts of stcckmen who be- lieve in conducting the business on hon. est principles. Such state of affairs can only be due to lax administration of the laws amounting to criminal neg Iigence, and if it is permitted to exist much longer will result in the more reputable portion of the afflicted com munity taking the laws in their own hands and administering it in a very summary manner.-Hoof and Horn.
 The HERALD has repeatedly called the attention of our authorities to the state of affairs existing in that locality. From what information we can gather, these outlaws exercise such reign of terror over the inhabitants of that sec ton, that parties who have lost stock and who know the parties that have taken them are, afraid to swear out warrants for their arrest. They have driven settlers out of their hOuses-torn down their places of public worship driven stolen stock along the public, highways in the broad glare of the noon day sun, and if reports be true. added murder to their long catalogue of crimes. It may seem strange that such things can be carried on in a civilized commun- ity, without the perpetrators being brought to justice-yet, we are assured, upon undoubted authority, that we have not overdrawn the picture. How much longer these outlaws are to be allowed to ply their vocation with apparent im- punity rests with the authorities of the two counties. We hope it will be short lived.

Conference Notes


 One of the best attended con- ferences in years of the St. Johns Stake closed with a home coming celebration July "A. Conference proper convened Saturday July P with a record breaking attend ance especially from outside wards. Every bishop in the Stake was present during the sessions. The homecoming feat ures Of the gathering had been strongly featured and as a result many older people both from the stake and outside the stake came to take part in a pioneer celebra- ton.
 Two causes contributed mainly to the success of the conference. By special appointment from President Grant Apostle James E. Talmage together with Judge Hart and Prof. Segmiller and three visiting sisters were pres ent holding auxiliary conventions during three sessions. Another reason was the Pioneer celebra- tion and home coming on Monday. This was the first visit of Dr. Talmage. His fame as orator, author and tkeologian is perhaps not surpassed by any other man in the church. People came from far and near to hear him and were fully awarded During several sessions he held the peo- pie spellbound with his wonderful eloquence, but the climax came on Monday when for an hour he alternately swayed his audience between laughter and tears as he dwelt upon the incidents of pioneer life. In his opening re- marks Dr. Talmage objected to having his speech classed as an oration but from the point of view of the standpoint of the man of the street it could scarce ly be called anything else.
 Several unique features were added to the celebration. A pioneer gallery. under the able direction of Mrs. Rachael E. Berry was opened to the public in one of the lower rooms. The exhibit consisted of photographs of many old pioneers of St. Johns Stake who have now passed away. Also the photographs of some now living who had taken active part as leaders in settling up this country.
 Another feature was the pio- Deer-sketch contest. Three pio- neer sketches were given in which all names were omitted and the audience was left to guess whose sketch it was. The con- testants were Mrs. Viola Over son. MT. James Dewitt and Mis- S Esther Isaacson. T h e first sketch was that of Grandpa Overson's the second Grandma Ellen Greer and the third Grand pa Isaacson who died recently in Utah, The contestants were all unanimously declared t0 be win ners.
 Among some of the outside visitors present were. Dr. w. E. Platt. old time resident of St. Johns and now located in Phoenix, and Stafford Ariz. His wife and son accompanied him. Mrs. Anna A. Lesueur, wife of President J. w. Lesueur, former resident of St. Johns and now President of Maricopa staEe.
