INSPECTION STATION REOPENS
ON THE SPRINGERVILLE ROAD

The Springerville road inspection
station, which has been closed dur
ing the winter months, was reopen
ed June i.
Owing to the small amount Of au-
tomobile traffic which passed over
the highways covered by this station
during the winter season, the station
was closed in October 1925. A recent
survey made by DR. T. S. Bishop,
chairman Of the Arizona commission
Of agriculture and horticulture, and
DR.. Oscar c. Bartlett, state entonol-
ogist, convinced these officials that
inspection should be resumed
at this point. The station at
Springerville is located at a point
where the traffic from the eastern
and central states enters the bounds
aries of Arizona. Practically all of
the pests and diseases taken from
the intercepted material while the
station was in operation previously,
had their origin in the states Of the
east and middle west.--St. Johns OBJ

5O-MILE FENCE TO BE
BUILT TO DIVIDE
SHEEP AND CATTLE

A meeting of the cattle and sheep
men in the area south of Holbrook
about Heber was held at the head
quarters Of the Sitgreaves National
Forest here, in conjunction with Paul
H. Roberts, forest supervisor, last
Saturday. The object of the meet
ing was to work out details for the
constructing Of so miles Of fence, to
divide the cattle and sheep ranges on
the national forest. 1t was deter
mined that the Forestry Department
would put up so per cent Of the cost,
while the sheepmen and cattlemen
would pay the other half. Work is
expected to be begun shortly after
July l.
The barbed wire has already arriv-
ed at the Santa Fe Railway depot
in Holbrook, and it viii be taken out
to the reservation at once. 1t con-
sists Of 500 spools of barbed wire,
enough to build the so miles Of
fence. BY the erection of this bar
rier the ranges of both the sheep and
cattle industries will be separated
and each will have its portion Of the
forest range for itself, thereby OBJ
Waiting disagreenents and discord
among thcra. 1t is noted with salts
faction that there has never been
any serious trouble between the sheep
and livestock men in the area about
Holbrool1, all parties having appar-
emily been willing to meet, discuss
matters and arrange some sort Of a
mutual agreement This building of
the long fence is the result Of one
of these conferences. Forest repre-
sentatives have always been willing
to assist the industries in every rea-
enable way
The portion that the stock and
sheep men are to put UP for the
building of the fence will be amor
tized over a period Of years, to be
refunded to them by a reduction of
their grazing fees.-Holbrook Tri-

POLITICAL BUMBLE-HONEY
OR JUST BUSY BEES

A swarm Of stray bees, evidently
seeking to go elsewhere without hav-
ing to fly, swarmed at the Snow
fake postoffice last week and pro-
ceeded to make themselves at home
as domestic parcel post until Post
master Murray could find time to
care for them. However, Mr.. Muir
ray decided he had better let the
bees be for the time being at least,
or until the owner of them could be

and RESP|GHI

When the Philadelphia Orchestra

Auditorium. it will be under the
direction Sof Ottorino Respigl1i, the
most discussed of living Italian
composers. who will appear in the
triple capacity of conductor, COM.
poser and solo pianist in a program
OF his own compositions.
Respighi was born in Bologna in
1879 and much of hisl musical life
has centered there. He was grad
uated from the Bologna Conserva-
tory. his first opera was produced
In that city, and lie was teacher
in the school which he had attended
ais q young man. More recently he
has made his home in Rome, where
he is director OF the st. Cecilia
Academy, and his later work shows
the influence of the Eternal City.
He has put his love for Rome into
two large orcheFtral works, The
Fountains OF Rome, already Ia
miliar to American concertgoers and
1.-THE Pines of Rame, which is to
be heard here for the first time this
season and which figures on the
Washington program.
Although tlfSt ana foremost
Italian, Respighi has travelled and
played and conducted throughout
Europe. He studied with Rimsky-
Korsakow in Petrograd and with
Max Bruch in Berlin, and he has
made frequent concert tours outside
of Italy.
Into his IS years Respighi has
crowded an imposing amount of
work. He has completed q piano
concerto which he will play at this
concert, a work for violin and
orchestra, an orchestral suite, and
most of an opera in the past year

baud, French violinist, in Mrs.
Lawrence TOwnsend's Musical
Morning ut the Mayflower,
straight upon her triumphs IN
the role Of Giulia in the brill
liant revival Of Spontini's CEN
tury-Old opera La Vestale' at
New York's great opera house.
It was q First time" for the
opera in New York. Miss Pom
selle was praised, variously, as
"a very rare phenomenon nova

Rosa Ponselle, = rose to real
heights Of lyric beauty and
tragic expression.
Halperson wrote of her: An
honor gallery in our new opera
house will certainly contain q
life-size picture of her as Ves-
tale ETC., etc.
Thibaud is q purist in his
music. He proclaims his creed
when he says: 1--WE are getting
away from nationality and re-
ligion in art and music. When
q lovely piece Of sculpture is
set up in public or when a
master composition is played
for the first time, the last
thing the audience THINKS about
is the nationality or the creed
Of the sculptor or composer.
1.-THE violinist must play the
best things that are written for
him, and he must worry about
the nationality of the composer,
his religion, or his taste in
neckties and socks later"
That is not true Of US, how
ever. Americans do much Of
their travelling by means of the
music that carries them into
certain lands by virtue OF its
type and temperament. So in
welcoming NJ. Thibaud, again
we look for that exquisite fine
ness that bespeaks the art OF
his homeland.
