HERENDEEN COUNTRY IN
 NED 0F P0sT0FF|CE

The march of time and progress has meant nothing to the Herendeen bay country reports Frank Osborn, oldtimer from that district who ar rived on the S. s. Starr a few days ago. There are about 10 people in that particular area, he said, and the nearest post office is 40 miles away on Popoff Island, near Unga. It is due to this fact that there are not more settlers there, he stated, for it is a splendid trapping country. When asked as to a possible location for a post office MT. Osborn said there were three points that might be de- sirable, Port Moller the P. A. Can nery, or at the head of Herendeen bay. The latter point in particular, is probably the best location.
 AS the steamer Starr, during the summer months, steams past Heren- deen bay, it would seem that it should not be difficult task to drop mail off, but in the winter time when no boats ply the waters of Bristol bay, the mail must then be sent over land from Sand Point to Balboa, a distance of IS miles, and hen another nine miles portage to he bay

''PAR|S'' VIVID, EXOD|C
 TALE oF cREAT APPEAL

Take Q few thrills-a bit of eerie atmosphere-and add about twice the amount of laughs-and you have a great photoplay success.
 At least, this is Edmund Goulding's formula-and the result is seen at the Liberty theatre in Paris.
 It's a Parisian nights entertain ment-one can't exactly call it con- edy despite all it's laughs-because there is a good deal of vivid and gripping drama in it too-and it's not exactly thriller despite it's thrills. It's just entertainment and 
 Charles Ray forsakes the country boy roles that made him famous, and swashbuckles through a modern DArtagnan role as an American tourist out for a good time in a dress suit-and enmeshed in a plot of the Apaches of the underworld.
 Joan Crawford plays a fiery Apache maiden with whom he falls in love-to draw the fire of the whole underworld, until the police reserves have to come out and save him. Ray plays his role with a de- lightful sang-froid that casts a new light on the versatility of this noted actor.

INJURED GIRL GIVEN S25, 900

One of the most brilliant legal
ctories to be won in the county
superior court in some time was
given the firm of Knapp, Boyle
& Pickett of Douglas last week
when the jury in the case of
Margaret Kleifish VS.. The Cen
trail Copper company returned a
verdict in favor of the plaintiff
and awarded her $25 900 in dam
ages as the result of injuries
sustained while riding in one of
the company cars several years
ago.
The case attracted considera
BILE attention here and was hotly
contested from the start. Judge
w. A. O'Connor or NNogales
heard the case in the absence of
Judge Albert M. Sames who was
disqualified.
The plaintiff in her case set
forth the fact that she was rid
ing in the company car at the
time of the accident on the invi
tation of company officials and
that the company had previous
ly agreed to furnish her and
other employees with transpor
tation of this nature.
The defendants tried to show
that the accident occurred while
the plaintiff was on pleasure
trip and that because she was
not at the time in the service of
the defendant company that
they we're not liable for any &C
cidedt that may happen even
though the car was owned by
them.
Numerous witnesses we're call
ed to testify to show how the
accident happened and the cir
cumstances surrounding the af
fair. Doctors were also called
to testify as to the condition of
the plaintiff at the present time
and that this condition was the
direct result of this accident.

MAY PRODUCE SWISS CHEESE

Tombstone = A Swiss village
at $500 feet elevation on the
Coronado trail in the Blue range
of the Apache National forest,
20 miles north of Clifton, to be
patterned after the famous re
sorts of the Switzerland Alps,
the cultivation commercially Of
the edelweiss flower, queen of
the Alps, and the manufacture
of genuine Swiss cheese for ma.
ton wide distribution, are three
proposals now being considered
by William Tell Winger of the
noted resort town of Bern, in
witzerland, who was in Clifton
recently and who will return for
the Second Annual Arizona pic
mic at Hannagan's Meadows on
June 1919
While here Mr.. Wingar was
the guest of Karl NJ. Schade and
conference was held with Pete
Riley, chairman OF the general
committee of the Arizona picnic.
Mr.. Winger explained that the
high altitude of the Blue range
was similar to the altitude Of the
Alps where the famous resorts
were situated and that be
thought a Swiss village in the
Blue range would be a profitable
venture.
AS for the edelweiss flower
culture Mr.. Winger said it grows
only in high altitude under
conditions to be found in the
Blue range. He said these flow
ers we're very scarce at times,
even ia Europe, where they sell
for as much as / franc for bou
ouet of three flowers. He said
that so far as be knew the edel
weiss was not grown CONNER
cially in the United States.
If be decides to invest here.
be said, he would build fac
tory and manufacture Swiss
cheese on large scale. Mr..
Winger was also interested in
the proposal to establish hot
springs bath house in Clifton
He said be thought that could
be operated along with his other
enterprises and that he would
include it in his plan of locating
there.

A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH

The stolid. unshakeable denial
of his guilt throughout the en-.
tire trial and which Charles
Blackburn maintained with death
staring him in the face, causes
US to wonder if longer delays
should not be provided by law
before execution sentences are
carried out. We still firmly be.
lieve in capital punishment for
murder. but when conviction is
obtained by circumstantial evi.
dence or by testimony of only
one witness, there always is a
chance that the. state might
take an innocent life. If we re.
member rightly, Blackburn was
convicted on the testimony of an
Indian who claimed to have seen
him strike Miguel Bernal,
business partner, with a rock.
Coupled with this testimony of
an eye witness was circumstan.
tial evidence, such as insurance
made out to the defendant which
estimated the motive. Yet it is
barely possible that : the Indian
had a grudge against Black burn,
and an Indian will do anything
to even a score against a white
man. Sixteen months or more
have passed since the crime was
committed, and there has been
nothing to disprove the Indians
story. That Blackburn should
have denied his guilt at the trial
is only natural, but that be
should go to bis death still firm
iy reiterating his innocence, is
unusual. The fact that the mur.
der for which be was convicted
was one of the most brutal in
the annals of the state might ex.
plain his willingness to pass on
to an unknown world with lie
on his lips. Few of the most
hardened criminals, however,
fail to make a complete confes.
sion in their death cell. That
all of those who went to their
execution were innocent is unbe.
lievable, but there is a possibili.
ty that few have been hung in
the past half century who we're
innocent. Delaying the eXecu.
ton five years possibly would be
only added torture to the vic.
tins, and also it seems unlikely
that this short time would be
sufficient to definitely establish
guilt. Yet it does seem unjust
that civilized race should take
an eye for an eye and a tooth
for tooth" until all doubt has
been removed. - The Prescott
Courier.
