brought joy and gladness to all of his
children.
BY 10 o'clock everyone was in bed
dreaming OF the wonderful Christmas
day just passed and of the hike
! through the snow to the beautiful
lfS-foot falls on upper Workmen
| creek, which was the plan for the
following morning. But, alas. for
those who expect too much During
the night it got warmed up and the
| snow changed to rain, and what snow
there was melted, and there was no
more snow falling and morning found
the earth damp and wet and looking
much like ii had the day before. The
spirits OF the crowd were not serious
ly dampened. however, and the day
was spent in games, eating and sing
ing till evening brought in a number
or neighbors, and a real mountain
dance wound up the day. The fol-
lowing morning was bright and cool,
but no snow. The 10-mile walk TO
the Falls and back was sufficient
exercise for most of the party, and a
short evening, with an early bed hour.
finished the day 1t rained a good
deal during the night again. but the
morning broke clear, and by 10 o'clock
the cars were warmed up and hitting
the trail for home. where they all
arrived early in the evening.
The Sierra Anchas, chiefly because
of the difficulty in the past of reach
ing them, are comparatively little
known to residents of the Salt River
valley. With the completion of the
state highway to Miami, these noun
tains will be within six or seven
hours of easy driving from Phoenix
and will become very popular with
summer campers. The forestry de-
partment is preparing numerous pub
lie grounds with convenient water
and camp-fi fire facilities for those who
like to camp. At Carr's ranch and at
Lewis Log Cabin Lodge there are
good accommodations for $50 people.
1t is rumored that man from Phila-
delphia has purchased a ranch on top
of Juniper Fit, where he is going to
establish a rdude camp" with an IS
hole golf course and the Southern
Pacific has in mind a mountain lodge
to be conducted in connection with
their hotel at Roosevelt when the
Apache Trail is put in repair. The
timbered part of the mountain ex-
tends nearly TO Pleasant valley, on
the north, and the reserve is well sup
piled with game, consisting of deer
and turkey. with an occasional bear.
The forestry department contem-
plates stocking this range with
grouse, and the large streams are
already stocked with trout. With a
little development, this region can be
made into an unsurpassed summer
playground, where rains do not seri
ously interfere with automobile traf-
fic and where anything from the con-
veniences of home in a log cabin to
the widest kind of mountain explo-
ration can be had.

| ed by pine covered slopes and con-
! tanning some rs acres of cultivated
farm land, where alfalfa is grown for
the milk cows and all kinds of vege-
! tables are grown in the spring. Mr..
and Mrs. Hall are a charming Cali
| fornia couple who settled on the land
over ten years ago with the idea of
the turmoils of life. They found the
haven, but the evidences of their
activity in making improvements
suggest that their five years have
been anything but idle ones.
After a short visit and a stroll over
the beautiful ranch, withi babbhng
Workmen creek running through it's
center, the entire party, now includ-
ing the Halls. Started back over the
Reynolds creek trail to the ranger
station on the main road. Here they
found the autos waiting. and the two
mile drive to the Lewis lodge was
made through flakes of gently falling
snow, with constant changing of the
surrounding peaks from dark to
snowwhite as the snowstorm pro-
gressed over the range.
Arriving at the Lewis lodge, there
was but short half hour for singing
and snowballing before the gong
sounded and the Christmas dinner
was on. A goose at one end of the
long table, a turkey at the other
sucking pig in the center, with nu-
merous wild mallards along the sides,
made n foreground for the many en-
tries and vegetables which could only
be found where the cooks heart and
soul are wrapped up in the dinner
she is preparing. Mrs. Lewis cooked
the dinner herself and to anyone who
has eaten at her table, it's huff sed."
To all others it is the writer's fervent
hope that you may some day be able
to try it.
After the dinner the guests again
gathered in the clubhouse. and there
around big fire and with the snow
falling briskly outside, the Christmas
program was carried out. Each per-
son present, from the youngest child
of four years to Mr.. Hail. who is well
up in the seventies, either spoke a
Christmas piece or sang a Christmas
song, and just as twilight was set
tling into darkness and ii seemed as
though Santa Claus must be lost in
the storm, a loud jingling OF Christ
mas bells was heard outside. and.
like rush of glad 'tidings. Santa
Claus himself came bursting in, COW
cred with snow and smiles. In spite
of his hurried trip over the noun
tains, he was full of spirit and the
way he distributed games and good
things to eat and make noise with

Planning for New Expenditure,

we understand that suggestions are reaching
the for proposed legislation to be included
in his call for a special session; that much of this
legislation would involve appropriations, when the
thing taxpayers desire is reduction rather than
an increase Of expenditures.
That something will have to be done for the
university is apparent that institution is to be kept
That is perhaps the strongest reason IL not the
only one with the exception OF proposing consti-
tutional convention, why there should be a special
session at all.
1t Is as unlikely now 1t last summer that
the legislature would take any action that would re-
suit in lessening of the expenditures provided for
in the regular session Certainly the legislature can
not be expected to provide additional expenditures
No doubt there are many meritorious projects
which in ordinary circumstances ought be fostered
by appropriations But the circumstances now are
extraordinary. There many things which it would
be to our advantage to have but which we must do
without. We need the kind OF public economy
that individuals practice private economy in
certain circumstances.
We must forego many things to a time when
we shall have money to pay them. 1t is proper to go
into debt for the things have but It is high
y improper go into debt for what we can do with
out.
The legislature must set its face against any un-
necessary expenditure, however desirable it may be-
Those who may be disappointed will be in no worse
shape in consequence, they would be If no spe-
cial sessions were called.
Legislatures get regulations for extravaganza
chiefly. by listening opportunities for appropria-
tions and and granting them because they are not
large except in the aggregate Then when taxpayers
appalled, at the amazing total the benefcaries Of
the small appropriations join In the condemnation.

The sIackers, Lists

When the government sent out the "slackers'
lists" for. publication, along with many other
newspapers elected not to publish them We were not
particularly afraid OF possible libel action result
ing from the mistake OF local board but realizing
that such mistakes possible. and in the con-
fusion quite probable, did care to assume the
risk Of doing injustice to any man whose name
might appear on the list by error.
The very first list contained startling error in
the inclusion as Stacker. the OF man who
was not only in the army, but had enlisted before
the draft and occupying place as officer in
novel and peculiar arm OF the service so that this
well this officer had been extensively men
toned in the public prints
We were disposed the other hand to give
publicity to the lists for two reasons-one to brand
actual sackers they deserve and another to fur
nish such information to peace officers throughout
the country would furnish possible clues to the
whereabouts OF criminal persons for undoubtedly in
the ranks of the sackers turks large criminal eIe
ment
The question OF liability for libel was raised The
war department was disposed to leave the answering
OF that to the newspapers-to wash its own hands of
it. It the opinion of many lawyers that the
newspapers could not hide behind the official char
acter Of the lists.
That view sustained on Friday by the ap-
peate division OF the New York supreme court in a
suit brought against the Press Publishing company

. MK73hELRE5

He brings us our checks and he brings our bills,
He's one whom business depends;
He brings to each lover series of thrills
He brings the greetings Of friends.
We fret IL he's tiny Bit late
And out of our windows gaze
TO find out the reason he's making us wait;
Say why don't give him raise?
we heap him with letters and papers and stuff
Which deep in his mailbag slowed
And then--as If that were not burden enough
At Christmas triple his load;
We know him faithful and full Of good cheer
we and then slip him praise.
But why don't prove that our words sincere,
Say, why don't we give him raise?
He's struggled along a niggardly wage
His clothes have grown threadbare end thin,
He faces the threat of dreary old age,
Unless all boldly join in
And say to congressman, Nowhere earth
Is with such hard working ways,
It's time that the postman got half what he's worth
Come on now and give him a raise!'
