FATHER OF ARIZONA
MAY REST At SUMMIT
OF POSTON'S BUTTE

In all probability the wish of COL
onel Charles ID. Poston, Father of
Arizona" that he be buried on the
summit of Poston Butte, near Flor
ence, will be carried out some 20
years after his death.
Colonel James II. McClintock, state
historian, has received a letter from
the pioneers grandson. Gustavus D..
Pope, Detroit lawyer, who wishes to
remove his grandfather's remains
from the old city cemetery in Phoenix
to either the Hole in the Rock or
Poston's Butte.
The grandson, while appreciative
of the fact that the Daughters of the
American Revolution erected a stone
in memory of the Colonel is fearful
that he will be entirely forgotten un-
less removed from where he now lies.
It is believed that the burial will
be on the butte across the river from
Florence where the colonel built a
wagon road and raised the American
flag. 1t was his dream to erect a
temple where the deity should be
worshipped with solemnity at the
IlSlnE OF luB sun.
The pioneer, who was active in
work leading to the organization of
the territory in 1853, died in 1902 on
the floor of an adobe hut in which he
lived alone. He was buried at the
expense of a few friends-all pioneers
who shared the hardships and expert
ences with Colonel Poston during the
early days.
Colone! Poston held many important
positions here, was Indian commits
sioner. delegate to congress, register
Of the Arizona land office at Florence,
and agent of the agricultural bureau
at Phoenix. Between times he made
frequent trips east and held high
position with the government which
commissioned him to visit Asia and
study it's irrigation system. He
spent much time in European travel,
and Europe in Summertime" one of
many interesting books of which he
was the author. was the result.
Apache Land" was another of his
efforts, while he wrote entertain
ingly and well a series of articles
on ancient races in which he was
deeply interested.
In hs last few years the man who
had led an active and useful life was
practically destitute. The goth ter
ritorial legislature granted him a PEN
sion OF s25 a month which was later
increased to $35, which he made cover
his wants. lie spent his last days
in an adobe, barren of any comforts.

ROAD ASKS PERMIT
To END EXISTENCE

The Arizona Swansea railroad.
which operates between Bouse and
Swansea, was given a hearing be-
fore the corporation commission yes
terday on its application TO disman-
tie the road which has closed down
three times during its 1S years of
existence. Claiming that IL is de-
pendent on the movement of low
grade ore from the Swansea mine
which has not operated for some
time, the majority stockholders pc
titioned to discontinue the road due
to conditions.
Protesting against the majority
owners were the minority srockhold-
ers and interests in the vicinity who
see a future for the section over
which the railroad operates.
The Swansea Lease, Inc, the Con-
solidated Arizona Smelter company,
the Lotus Valley Water company,
among others, opposed the discontin-
uance Of the road over which they
ship or will ship material. After
taking of the testimony which lasted
practically all day the commission
took the matter under advisement.
p. b. Kidson, secretary of the rail-
road, who offered testimony in sup
port of dismantling the road, later
appeared before the state tax commits
sion to protest against the 1921 val
uation. The railroad is assessed at
the rate of $1,000 per mile and op-
crates over oil miles
Mr.. Kidson told the tax men the
railroad had never made its net earn
ings with the exception of one year.
during the n years 1t has been con-
structed. Under the law, railroads
are exempt from taxation for their
first 10 years and the taxes of the
road have been delinquent for three
years. so that it has never paid a
tax to Arizona.

PHOENIX CITY JAIL
To Be REMODELED

In working toward complete re-
modelling OF the present city Jail,
plans originally drawn have been
slightly revised preparatory to being
sent out for the purpose of obtaining
estimates from the various manufac-
turers OF jail equipment.
Plans now provide for seven cells
to accommodate n total of 2S pris-
oners. Three OF these cells will be
located on the east side Of the present
jail room and the others on the west
side, all of them far enough away
from the walls TO permit OF four
foot area way. AS provided in the
original plans the space in the CEN
ter separating the opposite cells will
be arranged for a bull pen," with
shower bath and toilets.
These revised plans are being sent
out this week for the sole purpose OF
securing estimates. No action will be
taken upon them until figures con-
cerning the cost of carrying them out
can be obtained

SALVATION ARMY
CONDUCTSITSO OWN
WORK OF WELFARE

There have been many inquiries
whether the Salvation Army is
counted in with the six major char
ity organizations of the Maricopa
Welfare League. For the benefit of
all, the officers in charge of the Sal
vation Army wish to say that the
Army is not one Of the number, for
it is doing its charity work exclu-
sively by itself, being military or
ganization. From tH government
standpoint, it is quite difficult for
it to work successfully with others Of
a local nature only.
1t is planned for the Salvation
Army to have its annual home serv-
ice campaign some time in April,
campaign which comprises every
county in the state.
This campaign will be for the ben
efit of the rescue work. the social
and industrial work, the work of the
orphanages and also the field work,
such as opening the Army work in
many of the towns and cities of the
state, and the emergency relief work
in Phoenix, as well as any other
part OF the state in which there may
be need.
1t is also desirous to have a divi-
sional headquarters office building
in Phoenix so that a division may
be made of Arizona and the Imperial
valley. and thus it is inconvenient
for the Army to be in the Maricopa
Welfare League.
The Army is doing very heavy
charity work at present, heavier than
ever before in this community. The
calls for help are many; for cloth
ing, shoes, bedding. fuel, groceries.
To the people in general who are not
able to pay for the goods, they are
given to them free of charge. Friends
will kindly call phone 415S who wish
to donate any of the above articles
for this purpose. The relief shelter
on First street Is full both in lodg-
ings and eating, by the homeless and
disabled men all the time. Any as
sistance given for the mems shelter
will be glady erceived by the Saliva
ton Army.

WANT COMPANY FOR
LITTLE GIRL ON TRIP

Company is desired for a bright
little 7-year-o!d girl on a trip from
Phoenix to st. Paul, Mimi, or as far
as possible toward that city. This
little girl was deserted by her father
some time ago, and since then has
been cared for by a family, members
of the First Pentecostal Mission.
An uncle of the little girl has been
located in St. Pau. and he desires
to have her sent to him. He has sent
the railroad fare and the little girl
is just waiting for a suitable travel
ing companion to be found.
The family now caring for the little
girl are reluctant to part with her
as she has endeared herself to them,
but as the uncle is very desirous Of
caring for her, they will, give her up,
feeling that he has the greater right.
Any party or parties going east
who would be willing to be protector
for the little girl on the trip are
asked to communicate with the Rev.
Mr.. Faulkner. pastor of the First
Pentecostal Mission, telephone 54S4,
or call at 119 North Second street

advised that certain districts be de-
signated for manufacturing, business
or residential.

been requested to include in his pro-
gram for the special session of the

There are some people nearer home
that seem not to be aware of the law
which carries a severe penalty against
the distribution of poison. Only a
few days ago some miscreant in
Tempe was throwing about wieners
split open and seasoned with strych-
nine. One of the sausages was
thrown into yard in which were a
dog and a small child. Either Of
them might have consumed the lethal
morsel If it had been found by them.
But it was picked up by a man sus-
picious of it. and an analysis dis
closed the poison.

Tells OF LAXITY IN
REPORTING CASES Of
CONTAGIOUS DISEASE

"There seems TO be a pronounced
| inclination to disregard the reporting
of communicable diseases as required
by law and to evade quarantine re-
strictions when they have been es-
tablished,' declared Mrs. Charles X.
Howe, director of child hygiene with
the state department OF health in a
talk before the Roosevelt Parent
Teacher association Monday after
noon. "Our people, as a whole, seem
to need educating as to their obliga-
tions to the community in which they
live"
Mr.. Howe charged that the control
of communicable diseases to be larg-
ely matter of individual conscience.
I'VE must give our neighbor and
his children the same degree of pro-
lection which we expect him to accord
to us and our children"
In her talk on "The Pre- School
Age" Mrs. Howe touched upon diet,
sleep and exercise as the most i'm
portant factors to be considered from
the physical standpoint.
"'Fhe diet must be simple and yet
provide abundant material for growth
and energy. 1t must be easily di-
gested and yet sufficiently diversified
to stimulate the child's appetite. A
generous allowance of milk in the
diet of young child is most desir-
able"
The young child should be taught
to eat what is placed before it and
not allowed to develop whims re-
garding the like or dislike for certain
foods, Mrs. Howe contended. The
meals should be regular as to hours
and no "piecing" between meals
especially on cake or other sweets.
If child is hungry enough to eat
plain bread and butter, it will prob
ably do no harm to inlulge, but sweets
are generally eaten merely to crafty
the taste and not because of hunger
and destroy the normal appetite for
wholesome food.
Sleep is the next essential. Most
children do not get enough sleep.
They early adapt themselves to the
bed time hour of the adult members
of the family, spending the time at
picture shows or in play at home,
with an expenditure of nervous en-
ergy which the average child can i'll
afford. Few children beyond infant
age in these days take an afternoon
nap, yet it should be a part of the
daily program OF every child under
six years of age. 1t is little wonder
that the present generation is ever
wrought and highly temperamental.
There are few children who do not
get enough exercise. The point seems
rather to be one of watchfulness on
the part of the mother that the child
does not play to the point of ex-
haustion. In a normal child this is
not likely, but a child whose diet is
not adapted to its physical needs or
who is permitted to curtail its hours
of sleep may easily do so.
There are mental habits as well as
physical ones to be established. The
time to mould a child's character is
in the early, impressionable years.
Teach 1t self control, obedience and
respect for the rights of others, then
when it enters school it will readily
adapt itself to the demands of its
new environment and later to those
of the business and social world.

HE WARNS AGAINST
PUTTING OUT POISON

Observing a few days ago a dis
patch from Nogales in The Repub-
lican stating that on account of a
prevalence OF rabies in that vicinity
the authorities OF Santa Cruz county
were conducting a wholesale and in
discriminate poisoning of dogs in that
vicinity, Humane Officer Canning Of
this county in the following letter to
the sheriff Of Santa Cruz calls his
attention TO the existence of a statute
against that very sort of thing:
Jan. 9. 1921.
sheriff's Office,
Santa Cruz County,
Nosales, Ariz.
Dear Sir:
] wish to call your attention to
an article published in the Ari-
ons Republican, Sunday, January
z, 1922, that there is law against
putting poison out where any
domestic animal can get it.
Since il is reported that the law
in regard to putting out poison is
going to be violated, would suo-
gest to you that you enforce the
law.
Very truly yours,

Humane officer.
