in Holbrook are glad to hear
that he has been selected among
so many others for the important
task of playing for the people OF

US consists of dozen Weldone
fire guns eight 4-quart guns
and four 1-quart guns. These
are loaded with a fluid which
will quench a fire in no time, as
was demonstrated by agent, L.
Brunnell, who took the order for
them They will shoot a stream
to the top OF any roof in st.
Johns.
A small truck goes with the
guns, and the whole outfit will
be kept-at the st. Johns Garage
whrre it can be reached at any
time, day or night. The cost
of the equipment reaches about

One MAN SEVERITY
CUT AS RESULT OF
QUARREL OVER WORK

Friday evening of last week
Graham Cowley and Mirt Hale,
both employed by B. Y. Duke,
on road work, got into an argu-
ment which ended in a fight.
Cowley carving up his antagon-
ist with a knife. He inflicted
three flesh wounds, the worst
being a cut across the front of
Hale's right hand. laying it open
to the bone. A slight cut was
also made on his breast and
another deeper one at the back
of his neck.
Hale, it is said, went to the
Cowley home after dark, called
the latter outside, and accused
him of telling tales to
Duke which caused Duke to tell
him (Hale) that if he did not
like his job he could quit, or
words to that effect. After
quarreling a while they agreed
to go upto the road campandset-
tie their differences. They star
ted but continued to quarrel.
Hale finally knocked Cowley
down. and Cowley came back up
with a knife in his hand which
he proceed to use. Being the
smaller man he probably figured
the knife would about make up
for the difference in their size.
Hale's injuries were dressed by
DR.. Bouldin and he is in no dan
ger. Jim Duke, a nephew of
B. Y. Duke, was with them and
witnessed the fight.
Mr.. Cowley waived prelimin-
ary hearing and gave bond for
$1,000 for appearance in superior
court. observer.

RANGER REPORTS
BIG FOREST FIRE IN
HEBER DISTRICT

w. E. Baldwin, ranger from
Heber district. was in town
Wednesday getting men to fight
the big forest fire that is raging
in that district. He reports
about LOCO acres on fire and
with the help of high winds is
gaining very rapily.
The cause Of the fire has not
been learned as yet but it is be-
lived it was stated through some
carelesSness.
Forest fires often destroy
thousands of acres Of timber and
with a high wind blowing night
and day they become very dan
gerous.
Every precaution should be
taken when travelling through
the forests to put out camp fires
and all other thing that would be
possible means to start a forest
fire.

FATHER and SONS
TO TAKE OUTING
ON WHITERVIER

The M. |. A. announce that
for the year 1923 the Fathers
and Sons Outing will camp on
the North Fork of White River
some where near the mouth of
Paradise Creek. The date of
starting has been fixed for June
18th. The time of leaving
Snowflake will be 8 a. m. and
towns to the north will leave
earlier and those south will leave
later in the day. Two days will
be spent in camp and the home
ward trip will be made the Is.
1t is contended the spot selec-
ted for the camp is nearly ideal,
as it is easily accessible with
cars and is located at the very
tops of the mountains, in the
midst of a pineand spruce forest
on the banks of a beautiful noun
tain stream laden with trout.
1t is believed, and slightly SO,
that few days spent on this
stream will increase the efficien-
cy of any man or boy ten per
cent for the whole summer.
The crowd who will attend
the Outing this year seems
to be an unusually large one.
This is probably because of
the location of the camp and the
ease of reaching it.
The proposed camp at Grand
Canyon has been postponed until
next season when there is sure
to be large crowd in attend
ance. LET'S GO!

people of the south part of Nav

that the residents Of that part

situated with respect to proper
tv valuation will be broad mind
ed and fair enough to conceed
that a more equitable apportion-
ment of school funds is accom-
pllshed which under present law
means the readjustment of dis
trict boundaries. The law at
present presumes the occasional
readjustment of distcict boun-
daries and provides that each
year or as frequently as condi-
tions seem to warrant the Coun-
ty Superintendent shall flee the
district boundary revision, and
because Snowflake district with
the addition of all the balance of
the district in the county except
ing Winslow and Holbrook and
these north of the railroad as
pointed out in the petition would
have an assessed valuation more
than a million dollars less than
aolbrook Notwithstanding Snow
fake has for twenty-five years
maintained a High School which
during the year just closed hand
led more than four times as many
students as the Holbrook school
and graduated just FIVE times as
many students. On the basis of
this showing disparity of dis
tricting at present is so mani
fest as to warrant the belief that
reasonable and fair minded per-
sons must concede the justice OF
the request of reldjustment.

will be held at 10 O'Clock at the
