Peat TO Help Out Fuel.

According to the United States geo.
logical survey. the development of
vast deposits here would help greatly
In fuel shortage. 1t Is estimated that
$4,000. .0O0, 600 tons of fuel could be
furnished by the swamp and peat beds
here. Peat is dark brown or black
deposit, produced by the partial de-
composition Of mosses, sedges and

opportunities which stare at
them from here.
People who have money
and are anxious to settle are
not wishing to pioneer" a
place in which they would
live. That is a thing of the
past.
The Showlow dam is a sure
thing. The Snowflake -Tay-
lor Development Associa-
tion have gone after it in a
big, sure way. Results are
to be seen. Prosperity from
it is absolutely evident. 1t
will bring under cultivation
hundreds of acres of idle
land. Startling increases in
production will take place.
In plain words we are on the
sure road to growth. So
why not get ready for it be-
fore hand? If the leading
business men of the town
are taking hold of the pro-
-iect in such a manner that
they are; then-it is sure to
succeed. Therefore, the
town is not taking any long
chances when it fixes up a
few of the run down condi-
tions and installing modern
conveniences which would
surely tend to keep here
good and worthy citizens
who might come this way.
At the time this is being
put in type, we are wonder

really going to have a winter
or not. So far we have been
very fortunate in having
very comfortable, warm

A NoN-PARTIsAN NEWSPAPER
A Few Things That Should
Be Done

n Hall WIN lldO OOOii q
brickmason in the same town
for az years, and a good one,
died the other day and the
town newspapers gave him
as good a send off as it
would it's most prominent
citizen. He had had a hand
in building many of it's fine
homes and business houses.
He was an expert at achiev-
ing beautiful effects with
brick. Many artistic fire.
places are monuments to his
ability. He became an au-
thority on the quality of
sands used in such work and
had found what he believed
was the best sand in the
world for masonry.
The artisan who takes
pride in his work is a good
citizen there are none bet
ter. Such men are in the
future to have more recog-
milton than the world has
given them before.
So it might be said for ev-
cry man who possesses the
right kind of community
spirit. Let us all be artisans
in every thing we do get
as good a send off as the
man who was famous with
brick.
We need more such men
in Snowflake. Men who do
not stop at small trifles when
something must be done.
Think of the many things
which should be done for our
town. 1t might be we'll to
mention a few of the more
important ones, for instance;
a water symstem, a sewer
system, a few bridges over
the bitches which cross with
the sidewalks, a general
cleanup of all rubbish a.
round the town, broken fen
ces repaired and many other
things which could be men
toned without effort. These
things are absolutely essen
tial for the growth of any
town. Do you expect some
one else to come here and do
these things for you? That
is impossible. 1t is up to
the good artisans of Snow
flake to get busy and see
that these things are done.
There is a good chance, after
these have been accomplish
ed, for a doctor, a dentist
and many other prospective
business men to come here.
