feeling at the meetings that this
county's first care should be the per-
fection of the east and west highway,
that is, the National Old Trails, and
then the perfection of the Flagstaff
Grand Canyon highway.
1t is realized that the Oak Greek
project is of vast Importance. But
it is not of as great Importance to
county or the state of Arizona, nor
to the country at large as is the Nat
ional Old Trails and Grand Canyon
highways.
1t is important, it is felt, to have
good north and south highway. But
we already have good north and
south highway from here by way of
Ashfork. By this route it is 113 miles
from here to Prescott.
Therefore, as we now have a good
highway between Flagstaff and Pres
colt, and in view of the statement of
the bureau of public roads that it
will cost large sum to make a good
highway of the Flagstaff Sedona Sec
ton of the Oak Greek route-and our
board of supervisors, after going over
the route, believe this estimate isn't
too high--the supervisors and those
they asked to confer with them feel
they had better defer making any
great expenditures on the Oak Greek
route until the two roads they con-
slider of first Importance are in first
class condition.
Wednesdays problem was to get
$4,000 for the county to put az
against the $685. forest co-opera-
tive funds. This was quickly solved

congress and is up to President Hard
ing for his signature.
This is the final wind-up of the
case wherein two officers of the In
dian service, David Robertson and
Ashley Wilson, were sent out to bring
in child of Taddy Tin to school. Tad
dy Tin had bad reputation and in
resisting arrest was shot and killed.
Walter Runke, then superinten-
dent at Tuba City, was arrested by
the former u. S. Attorney, Thos
Flynn, and charged with murder,
along with Robertson and Wilson.
In the Congressional Record of
February 10Th in answer to questions
of members of the house, Congress
man Hayden says: "In any event this
man (Runke) is entitled to this relief.
It represents the savings of a life
time. He was shamefully treated, l
am satisfied, and everything that ne
did was done in the line of duty"
Further along in the discussion OF
the bill with Blanton of Texas, Hay
den says in a brief explanation of the
case: Here was an Indian, wild
Indian among wild tribe of Indians,
and to show how bad an Indian he
was, | will say that he absolutely re-
fused to allow his children to go to
school. 1t is not shown in the re-
port, but the facts are that this In
dams daughter was sent to school.
and this Indian so forcibly objected to
it that | understand he threw her on
the ground and gouged out one of he1
ewes with a piece of barbed wire.
That is the kind of bad Indian that
he was. They sent for him to tell
him that he must put his children in
school. He threatened to Kill the of
ficers. The agent then directed these
two employees to go out and either
bring him in or bring his children IN.
He resisted and had to be killed.
Then this man, Runke, was absolutely
abandoned by the Indian office-pros-
ecuted, as / believe maliciously-and
the savings of a lifetime were lost"
1t may be added that both Robert
son and Wilson after months in jail
were found not guilty after every ef-
fort was made by officials of the u.
S. government to convict them, en-
listed among the first from Arizona
and both were killed in action In
France serving their country. They
paid with their lives for their love OF
country, though maltreated by the
salaried servants, or supposed ser
wants of the country they were will
ing to fight for.

of our visitors last weekend was the
luncheon held Friday noon in the do
mestic science department. Several
members. of the faculty entertained
Miss BEEN, the basketball coach from
Jerome.
The home economics department is,
and has ample cause to be, proud Of
its new equipment. The sewing room
is fitted out with new tables which,
being slightly higher than an ordinary
table, are just right for cutting pat
terms. They have fly leaves which
give them added utility, and yet do
not occupy more space when not in
use.
An investigation of the cooking
room discloses the cause for all the
Jubilee in there y. The snowy white
porcelain tables are the newest thing
in their line, each being equipped with
two burners, drawers, cupboard and
attached stools. With this environ
ment of modern time-saving devices
and sanitation, we are expecting great
things of the cooking girls.
In spite of February's wintry blasts,

SIXTH GRADE PROJECTS
%++%#4%%%%+*%T + = > z + = : !

For the past few weeks the sixth
grade has been working on two lit
tie plays developed from their history
lessons. These dramatizations have
given them much pleasure and have
helped in fixing important events IN
their minds.
After studying the chapter on Eng
land, the children were divided into
two groups. Each group was allow
ed to select any part Of the chapter
which interested them most and de-
velop their play from it. One division
chose the "Anglo-Saxon Moots' and
the other king John and the Great
Charter"
Two leaders were chosen on each
side and the rest worked under their
direction. First division leaders were
Helen Harrington and David Slipher;
second division, Oran Corbett and Vi
vette Wilson. The children all de-
serve much credit for the great eff
fort put forth in working out these
plays.
Anglo-Saxon Moots:
Introduction-Da Slipher.
Act THE town moot.
Act 1.-THE hundred moot.
In the first act minor crimes were
dealt with and representatives chosen
| for the hundred moot. In the second
| act greater crimes were discussed and
recorded by the leader, who will take
them up before the king at the folk
moot.
This has helped the children to see
that these moots were really the ear
| ly beginning of our state legislatures
and our congress.
King John and the Great Charter:
duction-Jimny Johnston.
Act liking Johns punishment OF
mobiles.
Scene 1. Places cap of lead on head
of noble.
Scene 2-Throws wife, son and
daughter Of nobleman in prison be-
cause the noblernan has dared COM
plain about heavy taxes.
Act Injecting of mobiles where
archbishop discloses discovery OF
charter
Act Hiking John forced to sign
the charter.
The aim of this play has been TO
fix in minds of children one Of the
most important dates in English ms
tory, June Is, 1915.
Miss Leedom, the teacher, deserves
much credit for guiding and directing
the work of this project.

The unanimous opinion at the meet

Supervisor Miller believes that too

The Lumberjacks did not have to
exert very much energy or show any
class to run up a score of 40 to 6
on the Holbrook five Wednesday eve
ming at Ashurst auditorium. Hol-
brook was not able to run the oval
through our defence and relied en-
tirely on shooting the ball from the
center of the floor. Holbrook de-
feated the Lumberjacks in their in
itial game by close score, 8 to 5,
but they demonstrated their mediocre
ability on the Normal court.
The Winslow ounces are scheduled
to exhibit their wares Thursday,
March 8. Both the boys and girls
teams defeated Winslow in fast and
exciting contests, the girls romping
home by a one-point margin. Wins
low always was a drawing card, and
this year we look for a record-break-
ing audience. Keep this date IN
mind-March s. We need your sup
port.
March 8 and 10 will be two busy
DAYS for those who follow the basket
ball pastime. The Northern Arizona
basketball tournament will bring to-
gether the best and fastest teams IN
this part of the state.
The boys first basketball team left
yesterday for Phoenix, where it will
take active part in the Junior college
tournament which is to be held Friday
and Saturday. The participants in
clude Phoenix junior college, Tempe
normal school, Gila junior college,
Phoenix Indians, University freshmen
and the Northern Arizona normal
school.
Some OF the undiscovered qualities
of the training school youngsters were
disclosed Friday afternoon when they
won a basketball game with Holbrook
Junior high. The score, 25 to z does
not signify any lack of interest II
the contest, for it was real pleasure
to see these younger boys display
their ability and give evidence of the
splendid coaching they've been get
ting under Jack Tenny, practice teach
er.

that between the Emerson high girls
and the Normal second team, which
ended in a score of 18 to 10 in favor

putting up a stiff fight.
