| bitterly to me that this action would
put them out of business. The re-
ductions were made slowly, but
regularly, in order to give the permit
tees an opportunity to adjust their
/ business to the new situation. We
are now grazing on the area less than
one third Of all the stock that we had
there ten years ago, and further
reductions are planned. Moreover, we
| have put one stock company complete
ly out of business, in the face of the
fact that they had invested in inn
provements on the range, ranch prop
erty, watering places and the like,
more than 100000, which through
their being forced off the range be-
comes almost valueless. / doubt if
they could get $4,000 today on their
investment. This does not look as
if we had allowed ourselves to be
governed by the cattlemen. We re-
gret the necessity which compels us
to take such a step.
"Next, as to the sportsmen's side. |
doubt if any class of people were more
surprised at the action which we are
considering than were the sportsmen
themselves. That area was we'll es-
tablished as closed one, and such
step until recently had never been
taken into consideration in the
management of federal game pre-
serves. Consider yourself in our
position, if you will, with certain
amount of range, surrounded on three
sides by a good sized desert country
across which we are satisfied few of
the deer will go in search of new
range, and on the remaining side the
impossible Grand Canyon. This herd

GRANDMA GREER TELLS
OF EARLY DAY COOKING

Mrs. Ellen Camp Greer, familiarly
called "Grandma Greer" was baking
several fruit cakes when seen the 9th
er morning She is probably the old
est woman in Holbrook. Back in 1877,
when she came to this town, the only
occupant was a Mexican woman, who
had store and who seemed very jeal-
Gus of her few wares. Should you
accidentally touch anything and not
buy, she was sure to say: "You no
likee, you no buyee."
Grandma Greer is now sc years old,
and in her early days roved consider
ably. She was born in Tennessee, mar
ried in Utah and has lived in Arizona
since 1876. Her first year and
Christmas was spent at Fort Wood
ruff. As there were about thirty
families in or near the fort, they had
big Christmas dinner. They had no
turkey, but abundance of chicken and
beef. Milk and eggs were plentiful
but sugar was scarce. The young
folks danced on the ground, instead
of in the house, and at that time they
danced the square dances, which were
so full of real life.
After she came INTO HOlDrO0K She
gave COW and calf for 100 pounds
of sugar. The trader also had flour,
but he wanted $12 a hundred for it.
They did not buy. But as they must
have bread, the men having threshed
the wheat with fails, they took two
coffee mills in the camp and fasten-
ed them to a log, then took turns
grinding flour out of which the wo-
men folks made the best bread they
had ever had. Grandma Greer still
contends that it is ahead of the mod
ern flour with all its fineness. These
coffee mills were kept going for they

dangerously over the safety line. If
we removed every COW and sheep to-
day using the range, it would make
no appreciable difference one year
from now because the increase is so
rapid that the surplus range gained
by the removal of the livestock would
be taken up quickly.
"We cannot afford to sit idly by and
see these deer increase and take the
chances of dry season, such as we
have had in the past, followed by a
hard winter with the possibility of the
wiping out of two-thirds of the herd.
Public sentiment would score US if we
allowed this to occur. No farmer
undertakes to go into winter with
more cattle in his barn yard than
he has feed for, or money to pur-
chase feed with. No range stockman
will see his range stocked up to its
full capacity and sit idly by and not
sell off the surplus. We are exactly
in the same position with these deer.
The surplus must be disposed of, or
the whole herd will be placed in an
extremely precarious situation. IL
there comes a good hard winter it
will not be case of just a few ami
mails dying here or there but prac-
tically the whole herd will be wiped
out Sentimentalists deplore the kill
ing of game, but they are the very
first to "roast" the government if the
animals die for want Of food. We
are not going to allow this to happen
if we can avoid it.
''The plan for disposing Of these
surplus animals is the only one which
has any merit whatever. 20 ship a
few of them out of that region to
stock other ranges is entirely out of
the question. You have plenty of deer
in the different national forests in
Arizona to stock them to their full
carrying capacity. This plan which,
by the way, has not as yet been fl
nally approved by the forester, pro-
The Coconino sun., 1924-02-22

provided the flour for the thirty fam
lilies by grinding the wheat.
They had no fruit for pies, so they
made vinegar pies. The vinegar was
home made. Having no market for
their butter and eggs they used them.
Once in long time some soldiers
would come into the camp. Then they
sold all the eggs and butter they had
for good price.
An article of food made by the
early settlers now almost forgotten,
was what was called lye-honiny. Corn
was boiled in lye until the hulls came
off. Then it was washed over and
over to get rid of the lye. Finally
it was cooked tender and eaten with
butter, which was abundant.
Besides baking the fruit cake for
all her kin, Grandma Greer's fingers
are very busy. She made gifts of
many designs from quilts to hand
bags for this Christmas, and she is
86 years of age.-Holbrook Tribune.

"Kdibab Deer Must be Trimmed Forest
Official; YOU'RE Wrong"-BiU Strobe

In the last number of the Outlook
magazine there was comprehensive
article about the deer in Kaibab nat
ional forest, in this county north of
Grand Canyon. 1t told of the neceS-
sity for thinning out the deer to save
them from starving or elimination by
disease, and was much along the line
Of the article published last week in
The Sun, following an interview with
Ed G. Miller of Flagstaff, supervisor
of Coconino national forest.
Below is the gist of letter that
appeared last week in the Miami
Daily Silver Belt. This subject is, or
should be, of great interest to Flag
staff and Coconino county people
from various local angles, and of in
terest also to sportsmen and nature
lovers in general That is why the
following, which was written from
Washington, d. c., by Assistant U. S.
Forester Will Barnes, and Mr.. Strode's
answer thereto, are reprinted:
There recently passed over my
desk, forwarded to US with other clip
pings from our local men in Arizona,
the particular clipping from the Silver
belt in which you have editorially dis
cussed the proposed opening of the
Grand Canyon game preserve, situat-
ed on our Kaibab national forest in
northern Arizona, to a limited amount
OF hunting.
"There seems to be an impression
that the forest service has been driv-
en- into this position either through
fear of the livestock interests or in
order to curry favor with the sports
men. Neither of these thoughts has
any fair foundation whatever. About
seven years ago when the size of the
Kaibab herd had reached a point
where the range was showing
the effects of overstocking, went all
over the Kaibab and investigated the
situation there, and inasmuch as we
felt that game preservation was one
of our responsibilities in administer
ing this area, and that it was up to
us to protect the game at every other
expense, / recommended to the fores-
ter a constant, continuous reduction of
the number Of cattle and sheep graz
ing on the range. Although some of
the men who held these permits were

have ever known, nevertheless | felt

the secretary of agriculture by the
act of congress establishing it, Spe-

preserve, distant from the main high

others visiting the Grand Canyon. The

tourist travel is practically over
Permits are to be issued in such a
way that there will be little or no dan

them. The meat will be removed and
used, and with the plan carried out for
tagging the hides, trophies and meat,
there is absolutely no danger what
ever of what some people have called
the slaughter of this herd being in
dulged in. We have estimated the
number to be killed annually at about
1000, but are not sure that number
will be sufficient to protect the herd
and keep it down to reasonable limits.

number is insufficient it will be in
creased until we have reached a point
where we feel the balance will be

L Salary Cases Settled.
Judge Ralph Adair reversed the
commissioners and placed the future
salaries back where they are for this
administration. This applies only
to the three who appealed, the sher-
if, treasurer and probate judge.
Those who did not appeal from the
order of the commissioners within
twenty days have no recourse now,
and the salaries of the assessor and
the superintendent of schools for the
next administration will be reduced
according to the wording of the or
der of the commissioners.
Judge Adair, in rendering his
opinion, said he did not think that
a sheriff should be required to risk
his life for the same rate of pay as
that given for labor that is not haz-
ardous. He is subject to call twenty
four hour of the day and night, and
to cut the salary to anything below
two thousand dollars would, in his
opinion be bidding for poorer SER
vice, which might be very much more
expensive in the long run.
The treasurer's office, he said, car
ries with it much responsibility, and
demands high class service and thor
ough preparations for the work. Re-
cent court decisions now place addi-
tional work and responsibilities on
the treasurer, that of collecting the
personal taxes, which heretofore
were considered to be part of the
assessors duty, and he does not
deem it good public policy to bid for
cheap help in the handling of the
most vital values, the county's mon
eys.
The judge of probate has to do
each year this office has more of
that to do. When the country was
new and most of the population were
young or middle aged there was not
much to do, but the volume 10 now

requires a man of skill and a lawyer,
and experience proves that good law
yers do not seek elective offices that
pay less than two thousand dollars
a year.
