SNOW ON MT. ORD

Messrs. Joe Woods, Jr. and Sr., Chauncey Woods, and Elwood Grouse return ed Monday from their fish, ing trip in the mountains. AlI are a sun-symphony in red and brown, but they had a wonderful time while they were accommodating their compleXions.
 Joe Woods Jr. caught the largest fish that was pulled out on the trip, although 1t was not a mountain trout but a salmon trout, and it measured between seven. teen and eighteen inches ir length. Wish we had been there for dinner.
 Chauncey who is employ. ed in Needles, will remain in Holbrook for a weeks S visit with his many friends before returning to work.
 While on the trip the party climbed up along the sides of old Mt. Ord until they were among the snow banks. They found the climate rather warm upon their return to our city.

NEW HIGHWAY SHOULD NOT ENI) AT TOWN
 LIMITS

It might have been! That's not a very pleasant reflection! We must not permit that to be said of Holbrook. Sleeping at the switch is poor amusement. Further more we never get anything without asking for it, nor anywhere without trying.
 The present situation with regard to the passing of the highway through Holbrook is a case in point. WinsloW by being alive to her chances has gotten the plans to in- clude a paved street thru the town. By paying little or no attention to the mat ter it has come to this sit uation in our town. The ninety thousand dollar road ENDS at the town limits.
 The State refuses to build the highway along the rail- road in Holbrook where the old one has been, as the right of way is too narrow. That IS the situation of af- fairs at present. Since this road i5 unavaiiabl on ac- count Of the State require ments, the only thing to do is to meet them on another one. The next street north of the old road could be used. This is Oakland Ave. It is understood that the ScOrse interests stand ready to open up the street clear through their property and 1t would require only Q slight jog in the road to meet this street.
 If the State would agree to use the old road there would be no reason to take another path. But since they say No, and t h e "laws of the Medes and the Persians are unchangeable" the next best thing for us to do is to get the roa d where we can. We would certainly be foolish to have a splendid Highway stop at the edge of town and have the tourists descanting on the terrible road conditions existing Tn HOlDro0k.
 A city is always short on funds. There are so many things to do. When we have the opportunity to get enc street fixed as it should be, we would be very fool ish to let it escape.
 Think it over and then put in your plea for the work. It sinners down to this: at present we get NOTHING in the line of a road through our city. By putting in a request that meets with their stated. con- ditions and requirements we will be able to have the good highway road-bed eX- tended through town. It is worth while? Emphatically, llXy

ELKS INITIATE
 LARGE CLASS

Saturday night there were "big" doing at Winslow. The Elks Lodge of the Rail- road City held a initiation and after the initiation there was a banquet and a dance at Clear Creek to celebrate the affair.
 Several candidates went down from Holbrook. A. mong the number being one young man in a particularly "delectable" pink crepe de chine shirt. We would real ly like to know what that article of haberdashery lock- ed like after he had met with a friendly" welcome from the Elk herd! But one thing is certain, they all had a good time.

Mrs. James Donohoe, who has announced her candi- dacy for the nomination of County Recorder has taken temporary charge of the Adamana Hotel. She does not expect to be held there more than sixty days, as she is merely doing it to help the place out of a bad hole. Some rumors have been current that she intend ed to relinquish the race, but she states absolutely that this is not her intent ion. She is in the race and intends to stay in. Un- founded rumors are the bane of a community.

Geo. Angers5ein who has long been a resident of Hol- brook was the first citizen to get a permit to join on to the city water mains. Mir. AngerStein believes in hay ing everything in ship shape order, and we should not be at all surprised if he did not start in to raise a lawn and some trees when water is plentiful.
 Mrs. M. M. Jordan was the second to obtain a per init to tap the city mains. The work will start as soon as the tank on the hill is full of water. The reser- voir has been fixed and the pumping started on We'd nesday.

CUPID HAS BEEN BUSY

On last Friday evening four marriages were cele- brated by a large wedding dance given at Snowflake. Spring IS for weddings they say, and the June bride is the very proper thMg. Snow flake and vicinity proved this in having four marriages which took place so nearly at the same date.
 The happy couples were Miss Celia Hunt and Fay Tor Gardner; Miss Loie Hunt and "Bige" Rogers; Miss Eva Owens and MT. Sil Decker; and Miss Freeman and Mir. Lafayette Hatch.
 The wedding dance was largely attended and a most delightful time was the portion of all who were pre- sent. A fine orchestra dis pensed the music for the occasion. One of the News staff, Chas. Hathorn de- monstrated his talents in the augmented orchestra. Another attache of t h e News, MT. Henry Lopez, was also present.
 The new floor which had just been laid in the build ing added materially to the pleasure of the dancers. We join with members of their immediate community in wishing these newly we'd ded couples "health, happi- ness, and prosperity.

WILL DRILL WELLS

Not oil wells this time, just plain water wells. Mir. and Mrs. Arlo Baldwin of Taylor passed thru our city last week headed for the Navajo Indian Reserva- tion where MT. Bald win has a position with the Govern ment. His duties are to drill wells for the Indians in that arid country. This is a good work, for surely no place in the world is good water more of a blessing than it is in this arid land.

HORSES DANGEROUS AS
 WELL AS CARS

Little Beuna, daughter of Erastus Wakefield of Fay Tor, was Tn Holbrook this week. She had been the victim of a most painful &C., cident. While riding down a hill in the town of Taylor she jumped, or was throwr, from a wagon when the horses ran away. She struck on her arms and fractured both of them. In addition to this, the wagon ran over one wrist crushing it. Mrs. Joseph Brimhall, who was also in the wagon suffered a fractured leg, falling direct ly behind the horses heels.
 In these days of rapid transit we are apt to blame all accidents on speed and are prone to forget that the day of the horse drawn ve- hicle was not devoid of dan. ger.

been made by one of Dan Cupid's arrows.
 The duel of the Butcher Knives is over. There were no fatalities. Gallegos is in jail smiling and Baca laughs in his bed. It was a case of too many knives and too much white mule. The only mystery is as to who had the while mule. When questioned the only answer that could be elicited from the culprits was THEY had 1t. y
 Knives and whiskey are a bad combination. No one can deplore the fact more than we. But Gallegos' good nature is contagious. We cannot be severe. The affair happened on the sand in the river bed near the ice-plant. Baca has been employed as delivery boy for the ice-plant. His being laid up in the hot weather is unfortunate.

BETHEL NOTES.

Four most worthy members of
Bethel church are sadly missed these
days from the Sunday congregations.
Mrs. G. A. Wilson, Mrs. David Beam,
Mrs. Callie Henderson and Mrs.
Force. Age and inirmity have laid
heavy hands on them. Mrs. Wilson
and Mrs. Beam are seen no more
amongst US, and the others but rarely.
May they not be forgotten by the well
and strong.
Miss Virginia Bolts is spending
her vacation at home. She is attend
ing school at the University.
Thomas Bolts, Joseph BottsAStan-
ly Wilson, and William Bottst are
summering in the parernal fields, for
their health, and for other reasons.
They are Westminster boys, not
through school yet.
Miss Mary Elliott who has been i'll
for sometime, is improving under the
skill of her physician. Her parents
are hoping, and with reason, for her
speedy recovery.
Rev. ]. E. Kerr gave his friends a
genuine pleasure last Sunday when
he preached them a sermon. Bethel
is his old home church, and home is
always glad when an absent son re-
turns.

Quality Eggs for Missouri. This
bulletin contains much useful infor-
nation and will be sent free for the
asking. In the future egg producers
win be paid according to the quality
of their product. 1t has all too long
been an injustice for dealers to pay
as much for poor quality eggs as for
extras. This has resulted in Mis-

against in the markets because of
their poor quality. When eggs are
paid for according to their grade, it
will encourage producers in taking
