 Another dance of t h e Hopi's wsa the Bean Dance, given on Feb. 18th. At the time of the visit of the Hol- brook party, the beans were planted in boxes, being sprouted preparatory to their I1Se in the dance.

REHABILITATION SCHEME FOR EX-
 SOLDIERS FOR APACHE COUNTY
Importance of Project Cannot be Over Stated. HOlbrOOk Should Give Fullest Support

MT. H.. w. Furlong, the manager of the Golfer pro- ject near St. Johns, has for some time, been working to have ex7soldiers placed on ir- rigated lands under his con- trOl.
 Last Wednesday this pro- position was placed before MT. Hyland, the personal re- presentative of Director Forbes, in Phoenix. This was not the first time that the department had the mat ter under consideration, but at this meeting MT. Furlong was able to favorably ad- vance many of the reasons for the use of these lands by -ex-soldiers. Though no de- finite promise was made by MT. Hyland, that he has formed a good opinion is proved by the fact that he is taking the matter up in per son with Director Forbes on his return to Washington.
 Federal computations, made from past statistics, show that a settler and fam fly are worth upwards o f $5000.00 to the district in which they reside. Appro- ximately 150 families can with comfort be accommo- dated on the irrigated Col ter lands. These families, under Federal aid. will be in receipt of from $75.00 to $150. .0O per month each, pending production from the land.
 Further comment on the desirability of this class of settler is totally unnecess-I ary. It is our bounden duty to give our sister county any and every assistance that will further and hasten the settlement of these lands under Federal aid.

HOLBROOK BASKET
 BALL TEAMS
 VICTORIOUS

The spectators who gath cred to see the Basket Ball Games played on last Tues day evening in the High School Gym. were amply re- paid for their exertion by the multiplicity of thrills they received.
 The first game was be- tween the Holbrook and Gallup girls. It was snapp- lily played and the girls put in good work, and showed the keenest sportsmanship The girls won their game with a score of p to 4. The first game that they played against these same girls in Gallup they wo n also, with a score of 19 t o IT.
 Excitement was h g h when the boys team went on the floor with the husk- ies from the railroad city. Winslow has a good team and they play a cracking good game. But the Hol- brook Boys were on their toes and it was a h a r d fought scrimmage from start to finish.
 However the home boys at all times kept the score ahead of that of the Winslowites.

APPROPRIATENESS

There is nothing more pleasing than the discovery of a hotel whose fittings are appropriate to it's location.
 Mr. Bedding seems to have developed this idea to the nth power. In looking a t his handmade furniture, with its black frames uphoE- stered in artisticalIy chosen Navajos, at the Tiffany tan walls of the lobby with the frescos reminiscent of Hopi pottery and basketry, and the early Spanish Mission style which premeates all the wood work, the guest feel that the spirits of the old Spanish Conquisadores and vanished Pueblo chief tains who once roamed these mesas would find a fitting welcome within the walls of the remodeled Commercial Hotel.
 But tell us this, what do you think they would say to the white enamel and bath rooms of the second story?

CONFLICTING REPORTS REGARDING
 ABANDONMENT OF FORT APACHE
Owing to Representative Haydens Long Experience in Washington, Most Credence Given His Wire

sAAS AoStSA joII V1 last week word reached Hol- brook that Fort Apache had been ordered abandoned. This is far from pleasing intelligence. Many W hO have lived in the country for years, and by their long experience with them should know Indian character have expressed their gravest fears as to the safety of this course. Not indeed, that a general uprising is to b e feared, although there are some who think even this possible, but more that they fear a repetition of grue- some murders such as have been perpetrated on the is- plated traders in the Maya jo country. In addition to this, there is the fact that the Apaches come largely in contact with the white cattle-man and sheep-man on his distant ranch. Here is another source of trouble.
 Efficient as the Indian police may be, it is indis- putably true that t e country he must cover in the event of the abolishment of the Post is far beyond his powers.
 The Chamber of Commerce it is understood will take some steps at once to at- tempt to have the order re- scinded. People of Hol- brook should realize what this means to them.
 Below are the telegrams received in answer to those sent out by the Holbrook Chamber of Commerce in regard to the abandonment of the Post.
 Holbrook Chamber of Commerce: Holbrook Ariz. Order issued by Secretary of War on Feb. tenth direct ing troops at Ft. Apache to march overland to Ft. Hua- chuca and leave the Post in charge of caretaker was is- sued without consultation with Arizona Congressional Delegation and your wire was the first information we, have received that the Post was to be abandoned. On investigation 1 find that Interior Department advised War Department that troops were no longer needed on Apache Indian Reservation. In view of this action by both departments it will be difficult to have garrison re- tained at Ft. Apache b bu t will do all that 1 possibly can to preventa abandonment.

Special Comn1itiee Reports Fauor- ably, and Presents Articles of
 Association and Bye LdWs

The clClZenS WnO gathered lon Monday evening last to hear the report of the special committee on the organiza- tion of a Chamber of Com merce, were more than pleas ed to discover that the con- mittee's findings were favor able.
 The meeting was called to order by Mir. Chamberlain, and the minutes of the pre- vious meeting were read and approved. The chairman then called on the committee for a report of it's activities during the week. MT. CHI. Jordan read the report as follows:
 This committee composed | of Richard P. Schuster, Jesse Hulet. w. H. Stovall, Wm. R. Scorse, and c, H. Jordan, have carefully considered and investigated the matter of organizing a Holbrook l Chamber of Commerce, and since the time of their ap- pointment have spent much time in doing this. The Con- stitution and Bylaws of Hol- brook Chamber of Con- merce, to which this report is attached, represent what the Committee believes is the proper basis upon which to handle the association.
 The Committee believe that if the Chamber of Con- merce is properly handled, and in accordance with the items presented in the Con- stitution and Bylaws here tofore proposed, the results will be successful, and will mean much to the Town of ffolbrook.
 The Committe; after can wasting the situation for sev- eral days, recommend that the first Board of Directors be composed of the follow ing residents of FIolbrook, to-Wit:
 Wm. H. Chamberlain, R. N. Pincetl, Richard P. Schu- ster, Jesse s. Hulet. w. V. Bedding, c. H. Jordan, ". F. Williams, Chas. P. Cool ey. L. Caldwell.
 This Committee believing that it's work is finished, asks to be discharged.
 After very short discus sion, the report was accept ed by the meeting.
 The action of the commit tee in their attempt to pre- vent the abandonment of It. Apache was brought be- fore the gathering by Mir. ". R. Scorse. The wires in this connection (which appear in another column] were read, and on motion of MesSrs. Will Hams and Belding,a vote of thanks, and motion to re- Iimburse, was passed.
 The list of signers of the petition for the formation of a Chamber of Commerce was read, and the chairman re- marked that 1t included SC per cent of the business houses of the city, as well as many individuals, and it was the opinion of the com mittee that on a more com, plete presentation, the list , of individuals would be ma. terially increased.
