sently have a first class Indian
band furnish music at baseball
games and all other big events.
Mr.. Kiely has appointed Howard
Sakiestewa, an all around musician
and we'll experienced band mast
er, to take charge of this new
feature. A meeting was held this
week and Professor Sakiestewa
says things look very bright and
that he expects to mature a keen
snappy band of about IL pieces.
Engineers from the division en-
gineer's office have been 1aying
off" the new cinder pit. This will
also be a great improvement for
the roundhouse as it will be an
automatic ash bumper thus elm
mating a big job of shoveling.
Day by day in every way we're
getting better and better.
Oh boy! Let's go you rohndhouse
Red SOx! Going to a great per-
sonal expense, Mr.. Kiely has pur-
chased one of the very best watch
es in the country which he will
present to the first Red Sox player
to cross home plate with a home
run. Who will get this valuable
gift? Each of the colored boys
under their newly elected manager
captain NJ. (Pa) Allen have been
doing some real snappy practicing
the past week and will be in top
notch condition when they blossom
forth in bran new uniforms next
Sunday to play their first diamond
match of the season against
manager Frank Siegmund's "Mer-
chants" aggregation. Everybody
come out. I'll be worth the price
just to see those "brown skin
jokers" work out.
All possible speed is being made
to get E. A. (Poss) Kuhn's flying
machine in "birdie" condition for
Decoration Day. Wallace (Wad)
Merrick will, so it is rumored, pill
OF the airplane and thrill specta-
tors and probably himself by dare
devil stunts-feats never before
undertaken. Poss will probably
"walk the wings" for his exercise
on that day.
We learn that Miss Alice Friend
dainty dimpled checked stenogra-
phic lass off the M. M. office has
been requested to "take" the shop
council meeting at Ash Fork next

General car foreman, R. Y. Ket-
ring, informs us that his men are
cleaning ten or more REFERS per
day in preparation for about a
1000 car Cantelope crop from the
Phoenix district which will start
to move shortly. The Phoenix
lettuce shipments have been ex-
hausted. R. V. also says that a
four inch water nam is being
laid about a quarter of a mile
long for the purpose of washing
REFERS.
"Lots of mud. Got my car stuck.
Forced to camp by the road thirty
