Charlie PTOchnOLU
Packing o. POrkeT
(Coconino Sun of Jan. 10, 1903)

(Coconino Sun of Jan. 10, l903)
Charles Prochnow, the exceedingly
efficient machinist of the A. l.. & T..
company, is most highly respected as
machinist by those who know him,
but in the matter Of the removal of
the vital spark from the intricate
works of prospective pork, he carries
very little steam. In recent attempt
upon his part to pork swine, he
grabbed the pig by it's left wrist, and
endeavored to turn its lights out with
a monkey wrench. Failing in this he
loosened his hold from the pigs up
right, and swinging around with a
quick movement secured it by its rud-
der, and endeavored to puncture it
near the boilerhead close to its ear.
The pig finally became tired Of fool
ing around and concluded to pork it
self
The proper way for machinist to
have done the deed would have been
to unscrew the pigs face back to its
eyebrows, then by letting down the
eccentric he could have thrown its lev-
er over and eased down its workings.

Navajo Killed Another
Because He Was Dry

(Coconino Sun Of May 10, 1902
Ashton Nebecker came in from
Tuba City yesterday. He reports the
killing of Navajo Indian by another
Navajo last week on The reservation.
The Indian killed was said to have
been witch, and THE tribe held him
responsible for the continued drought
in that section, and it is claimed that
the sacrifice of the life Of the sorcerer
will bring rain, and they cite as an
instance of how in the past long
drought was broken by sacrificing a
missionary to appease the wrath of
the rain god. It is probable that if
the enchantment is not broken by the
death of an Indian missionary may
be selected in the vain endeavor to
secure the favor Of the elusive rain
god.

Frederick Harvey
A Self Made Man
(Coconino Sun of Feb. 16, 1901

(Coconino Sun of Feb. 16, 1900
Frederick Harvey, proprietor of all
the eating, houses on the Santa Fe
and Frisco systems, died Saturday at
his home at Leavenworth, Kan.
Frederick Harvey was born in Lon
don, June 27, 1885. He came TO Amer
lea when Is years old, and started in
life for himself by working for eight
dollars a month. He remained IN
New York until he was 20 years old,
then went to ST. Louis and started in
the restaurant business for himself.
He did well from 1856 to 1851, when
the war ruined his business.
Mr.. Harvey came to Leavenworth in
1865 and entered the railroad business
as the Leavenworth ticket agent of
the Burlington. He worked up grad
ually with this road until he was
made the general western freight
agent.
While travelling over the country on
freight business, Mr.. Harvey observed
the poor accommodations furnished
the travelling public, and the idea Of
the general eating houses and railroad
hotel plan so successfully operated by
him was first thought Of. In 1875 Mr..
Harvey found an opportunity and
started in the business by opening an
eating house at Wallace, Kan.
The eating house business grew end
prospered until 1882, when Mr.. Har-
vey retired from railroading and all
other lines of business to give his
time to it. For many years he oper-
ated houses along the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe system exclusively,
but in 1896 he added the st. Louis
& San Francisco line of houses to the
others and when ne died he had forty
five hotels and eating houses in oper-
tion..

Tuba City Settlers
Sell TO Uncle San,
(Coconino Sun of Nov. Is, 1902

(Coconino Sun of Nov. Is, 1902
Settlers at Tuba City on the Navajo
Indian reservation, ninety miles north
east OF here, have disposed of their
homes to the government. The sum
received by the settlers is $4,000.
This amount is apportioned among
the nineteen property owners in the
proportion of their holdings, and will
give each handsome sum.
Several years ago the limits Of the
reservation were extended to the Lit
tie Colorado. The government recog-
nized the rights, and an agreement
was entered into whereby the settlers
were to dispose of their lands to the
government. The settlers have waited
patiently for the past three years for
congress to make necessary appropri-
alton for the purchase, which was
done last session.
The object Of the government in
purchasing the holdings, is to obtain
control Of the lands and water within
the limits of the reservation.
1t is authoritatively stated that
during the next year the government
will commence the erection of an In
dustrial School for the Indians on the
reservation and that the buildings will
cost 100000.
The first settlement was made at

Mormons who made their tedious way
over the rough road from Utah to this
oasis in the desert. Among the party
was S. B. Tanner who has resided in
the Tuba stake since its settlement,
twenty seven years ago.
C. H. Algert will continue to con-
duct his trading post at Tuba-in fact,
he will be the only white settler in
that part Of the reservation.
The Mormons, as the residents of
Tuba are caleld (they are all members
Of that church, excepting Mr.. Algert)
will have six months in which to
move their personal property from the
reservation. They do not know where
they will locate, but will, as one of
them remarked, scatter" The larg-
er number Of the families have lived
at Tuba for more than twenty-five
years, and the chief regret of leaving
is the breaking of old ties of friend
ship.

Some Snow!
(Coconino Sun Of Feb. 9, 19o1)

(Coconino Sun Of Feb. 9, 1901)
The storm of last week has been
the heaviest in years. The snow be-
gan to fall at 10;45 in the forenoon
on February 1, and has continued ev-
cry day with the exception Of Tues
day ever since. During that time the
records of the local weather bureau
show a total precipitation of 7.50
inches of rainfall 1t is not meant
that there is eight feet of snow on the
ground hereabouts, as the weather has
been mild and the snow packed, but it

BLOOD CURDLING TRAGEDY
(Coconino Sun of June s, 1901

A crowd assembled in front of Tim
merhoff's drug store to witness blood
curdling tragedy Tuesday. A mouse
was placed in the same cage with a
Gila monster, while the crowd waited
in breathless expectancy for the rep
tile to devour the little rodent. But
his little mouseship was not built that
way. In fact he knew thing or two
about ella monsters and their pecu-
liarities. His first movement after be-
ing placed in the cage was to climb
on topyof the monster and scratch his
head This pleased the monster so
much that he kissed the mouse and
offered to divide the egg he was eat
ing. An effort is being made to
starve the monster into eating his lit
tie companion, but up to the time of
this writing the mouse was still rub
bing the back of the monster and the
latter continued to like it,

THE GREAT DISASTER

President Coolidge and the Off
cials of the National Government
have appealed to the people of the
United States to aid to the limit IN
the relief of their countrymen in the
Southern States, who have been
drowned out by the Mississippi Riv-
er. Who can read with blind eyes,
or hear with deaf ears, this state
ment from the President of our Ma
ton: "Those refugees are being fed,
sheltered and clothed by the Amer
lean Red Cross, acting as the agent
for the American people. The bur
den of their care will continue for
many more weeks" After reciting
the familiar details of this terrible
American tragedy the President of
our country has made the following
appeal:
"As President of the United States
and as President of the American
Red Cross, am therefore urging
our people to give promptly and
most generously so that sufficient
funds may be received to alleviate
the suffering among so many thous-
ands."
The President has not overstated
this matter, which is our business
and our common responsibility.

REPLY TO c. HI. MORRIS
ABOUT FEED FOR POULTRY
(communicated)

To the Editor:-
1 notice that Mr.. c. H. Morris of
Frederick, requests that l express
my opinion of the best poultry feeds.
would say that there are few
, very good commercial feeds on the
market that are not made just to
meet low-priced competition; but
are made to produce maximum re-
suits for the poultryman when fed
consistently.
From my own experience L have
found it a poor policy to mix my
own feeds, or buy those mixed at the
local mills. The mixing is often
done carelessly by disinterested en-
ployees, with absolutely no know
ledge of nutrition. Another obJec-
ton to the home-or local mix food,
is that the feeder is obliged to use a
ration which does not run consist
emily uniform from one mix to the
next; even though the same
amounts of each ingredient may be
used. The protein content of mid
dlings alone will vary enough
points from time to time, to change
the protein content of the finished
mix-to say nothing of the variation
of the analysis of the other ingred-
tents.
By all means 1 would recommend
from my own experience a high
class commercial feed, even though
it may cost as much as dollar more
per hundred pounds. A feed over
loaded with bran, meal, or screen
ings should be considered in the
price competition class. A few of the
mills have their own laboratories
and research farms, and employ
scientific specialists to thoroughly
test their finished products before
they are offered to the poultrymen.
I have found such feeds to be most
dependable.
l have also found that good COM
mercial growing ration developed
my pullets more quickly and to a
greater weight; which meant earlier
fall and better winter production.
This particular ration cost about
$3.50 more per hundred than my
home mix, yet proved much more
profitable.
A good buttermilk, cod liver oil
starting feed, rich in vitamines, has
given me the best results and grown
my chicks at the least cost. I hope
this will answer Mr.. Morris ques-
ton satisfactorily.
Very truly yours,
OBSERVER"
P. S.-You no doubt would be in
terested to read the article in the
May issue of American Poultry, of
the superior results secured in
growing pullets on commercial feeds
as compared with home mix, by Mr..
A. G.. Annel. of Evansville, Indiana.
