INTERESTING WORK
Is DONE AT GANADO
Especial to The SUM-

Local residents will remember Rev.
Fred G. Mitchell, who lived few
miles south of Flagstaff about ten
years ago and now is located at
Ganado, Arizona, where he is con-
ducting an Indian mission school of
remarkable proportions and with
splendid success.
Fifty-six miles from Gallup north
west into Arizona across the hills and
arroyos brings one to Ganado, Gar
den of Eden in the midst of an un-
developed country. Coming down
from the hills into the valley by the
river, the green roofs of the missions
school afford welcome relief from
the rocks and red clay of the hills.
Entering the gate of the mission
brings one past large circular open
air hogan, where the Indian families
assemble at stated times. A modern,
fully-equipped hospital with COM
plement of twenty-four beds and four
annex buildings for tubercular pa
tients under the charge of an ex-
perienced physician lies to the right
of the driveway. A spacious dining
hall with the girls dormitory over
head in charge of a kindly matron
occupies the center of the campus. To
the left is the school building where
the grades are taught, while up in the
hills a reservoir holding 100000 gal
Ions affords sufficient pressure for
the water system of the colony.
Behind the dining hall is located a
modern, fully-equipped laundry oper-
ated by power from the plant along
side where is located ice-making ma
chine, afr-pressure artesian well sys-
TEN, electric-lighting system, heating
system and other power plant facil-
tiles. Also manual training school.
Located in the form of a right
angle around the buildings already
mentioned are the homes of the work
ers and a well-equipped boys dormi-
tory, not forgetting the heart OF the
mission, the church.
Coal, lime, kalsomine and other
mineral necessities are mined nearby
for the sole use of the mission, while
with their own sawmill all the lum-
Der necessary is obtained.
The whole mission impresses one
as the vision of man being made
into reality. A 100000 project,
the center of $4,000 Indian popula-
tion.
The success of a mission is not in
buildings but in the product of It's
school.
Children will not show happy, con-
tented faces and dispositions nor we'll
fed bodies without conditions work
ing toward those ends. Neither will
children be able within a year to equal

intendent water supply for the A. T.
& S. F. railroad in Arizona, our Mr..
Chester A. Smith inspected the site
and test pits on the site of the pro-
posed dam in Schulz Canyon, on Feb
buary IL, 1924.
Two test pits that had been sunk
into the formation to depth of ap-
proximately Is feet were examined,
as well as test excavations to the top
of the formation underlying the soil
deposits.
The formation is peculiar in COM
position, consisting of fragments OF
hard rock and boulders embedded in
a fine grained white deposit of vol
canic origin. The material is rather
tough and compact when dry in its
original stratum, but easily absorbs
water and when wet becomes soft and
of no cohesive strength. This was
evidenced on the site of the two test
pits, one of which was dry and one
had been filled with water. The ma
terial when dug out, pulverized very
easily. The penetration of pick
point was about the same as in soft
shale formation, unless the point
struck an embedded boulder.
In the test hole, which had been
filled with water, the water had re-
ceded to about one-haf of its original
depth and the formation for about
one foot above the water level was
moist, showing considerable poroslty
of the material. Where wet the ma

leans.
Nearby to the mission is trader
whose home is superior in interest and
beauty to many museums throughout
the country. The magnificent paint
ings done by artists of high repute
right on the spot, the many Indian
baskets, blankets and other curios fas-
cinate one. We were told a fine mon
etary offer was made for the collec-
tion but refused.
Indians like to talk of their exper-
fences when taken east for visits. One
said God was good to the eastern peo-
pie for their fields and gardens were
all so green and rich with produce.
Not so out here.
Another said in church the people
look so funny, so many bald heads
that they looked like field of pump
kins. Indians have lots of hair on the
head.
Anyone who wants to have really
instructive and delightful vacation
should visit the mission at Ganado.

med, it would mean a less pure sup
ply, with a great deal of organic mat
ter and might necessitate an expen-
sive filtering plant.
But the main consideration in dis
carding the Schulz canyon dam prop
osition, is, of course, the preponder-
ance of expert evidence against the
possibility of making the dam safe,
even of making it hold water. This
evidence is given in the detailed re-
port of Burns & Mcdonnell, which
was read to city council on Monday
and which is herewith reprinted in
full.
Counsel has been waiting for this
report to settle beyond all question
whether the Schulz canyon dam plan
is feasible. Now, unanimously of the
opinion that it is not, plans will go
ahead as rapidly as possible for the
bond election and the building of the
reservoir.

A GOOD RULE TO FOLLOW


The late John Wanamaker was not only one of
the most successful business men America has pro
duced but he was one Of the best loved. He a
well-rounded success for while he was building up
a fortune in money he was also building up good
name and laying up riches for the future life. In
the daily advertisements of his store Mr. Wanama,
ker used to write short editorials" and print them
in corner of his advertisements. They were all
good, and here is worth reprinting:
cit has come to me as good rule not to believe
anything against another unless it is confirmed; and
even when it is an assured fact, my rule is not to
repeat it.
I cannot hold other peoples tongues, and it Mas
taken long time to get control Of my own
tongue But it can be done.
'And it is well worth while. If for no other rea-
son, it saves lot of time
1t would take great deal of sorrow and i'll will
out of the world if every one would follow the prac
tce of Mr. Wanamaker in this respect No good
ever comes from repeating tales about another
but harm always results. Businesses have been
bankrupted lives wrecked and people have been
driven to suicide by the circulation of unfounded
stories 1t is impossible to help anybody by speak
ing i'll of another why run the risk of running an
innocent person?
