Editor, The Times: II Is un-

Charges Of definite intent and
purpose are made. while accuse

Story Of a Road
Includes Tragedy
Another Byrd Performs
Community Service
Donates Site for Church
And School
THE reason for Fern Hills in. in.
terest in the relocation of the
old "Byrd's Mill road" is found
in what follows.
George Washington Byrd, the
youngest brother, was only nine
years old when the family came
across the continent. Like that
other pioneer boy about the
same age, George Hines. he
walked all the way. In 1856 he
filed on q homestead at Fern
Hill. His house stood close to
the spot on which the playfield
backstop now stands.
George had married the daugh-
ter of William White, who was
killed by the Indians while go
ing home from a religious SER
vice one Sunday. The Whites
were stopping with other settlers
at Fort Eaton, near Olympia.
Nothing had been heard of the
Indians for several days and on
this particular Sunday the White
family left the fort to attend a
religious service near Tumwater.
They were on the way home,
Mrs. White and the daughter
riding in a cart and Mr.. White
walking beside the horse when
several Indians appeared. White
struck the horse and started
him on a gallop which took Mrs.
White and the daughter to the
fort.
The next morning Whites
body was found, stripped and
badly mutilated. It was crimes
Of this character which created
among some Of the settlers the
feeling that their only guaran-
tee of safety was complete ex-
termination Of the Indians.
George Byrd, like other mem
bers of the family, was noted
for his community activities. He
donated two acres Of his home
stead for a site for a school
facing the old mill road. The
school is still situated on that
property.
He also gave q site for a
Methodist church. Last SUM-
day the Fern Hill Methodists
celebrated the 50th anniver-
sary Of the first service held
on that property.
Another piece of community
service was Byrd's negotia-
tions with r. #. Radebaugh 10
run the steam railroad from
Tacoma to Puyallup through
Fern Hill. He donated a site
for a station, right-of-way
through his property and gave
the promoters $500 in cash.
No other citizen Of his day
did more for his community.
|
With this record of community
service, the Importance of the
original mill road, and the fact
that many residents of the
community are descendants of
the old stock, it is no wonder
that the Fern Hill folks have
been so insistent in re-establish-
ing the Byrd Mill road" That

reau is organizing for a great task;
and a number of important things
in the departments might be in
fluenced, partly by the Congress
ional delegation, partly by other Of
ficial or unofficial representatives
from the State. Theoretically, Con-
gress passes the laws, appropriateS
the monies, and administrative de-
partments do the rest. However,
Arizona is so far away from Wash
ington, and since some of the small
er interests in Arizona cannot send
any one to urge adequate considera-
ton, it is necessary for the Con-
gresham to appear. For instance,
on the 18th of last August the
Tariff Commission was holding
hearings on a matter vitally affect
ing long-fiber cotton. feel sure
that the quota restrictions placed
on importation of Egyptian cotton
for the protection CT Arizona grown
cotton was placed because of the
last minute presentation of the case
by one of us here on the grounds. I
cannot speak for the Senators, but
I have an idea that all of us see
frequent opportunities to contact
departments relative to some things
affecting Arizona individuals or in
tereSts.

LOS ANGELES UNION STOCK
YARDS, Nov. 10-Efforts of west
ern cattlemen to further improve
the quality of beef production was
emphasized at the Great Western
Livestock Show, held IN Los An
geleS last week. High quality, reg
istered Hereford bulls were pur-
chased by commercial cattle oper-
atcrs at substantial prices, ranging
upwards to $1,000 each. We hear of
New Mexico cattleman who has
purchased the best herd bulls he
could procure along with sizeable
group of registered Hereford COWS
for the production of high quality
feeder calves.
This trend is significant All too
many range cattlemen in days gone
by have looked upon registered beef
cattle as hobby for the other fell
low, instead of offering a practical
means to improve the quality and
earning power of range cattle. For
tunately for the cattle industry,
good, registered bulls and register
ed cows can be purchased at prices
which put the purebred stock with
in the means of every cattleman.
1t has been the function of the
management of the Great Western
Livestock Show to aid in bringing
together the breeder of high quail
ity, registered breeding stock and
the range man. Through the display
of prime, granted steers, the value
OF wellbred sires and dams has been
demonstrated in a very practical
manner.
The auction sale of registered
Hereford bulls, held at the Great
Western Livestock Show last week
was the largest consignment sale
ever held in the west. The fact
that there were many cattlemen who
went home without being able to
buy as many high quality bulls ae
they wanted indicates that there
is very broad market demand for
breed improvers.

furthermore believe that the law
passed last night will come nearer
keeping us out of war than would
the legislation which it repealed. Of
course, there were some suggestions
for the new legislation, such as
taxing excess profits on munitions,
prohibiting sale of poisonous gas
and plugging up any possible loop
holes of extending credit to any
European nation, which I gladly
would have inserted in the new
legislation if I had been writing it
myself. But I didn't write it my
self Senator Pittmen said it was
perfect bill, and I hope he's near
ly 1009o right on that. Of this one
thing I feel absolutely sure-we're
not going to send any American
troops to Europe, Asia or Africa in
this war.
Recently in conversation with high
officials of the State Department,
Senator O'Mahoney of wyoming
and I discussed the proposed Ar
gentine pact. I said, Gentlemen,
speaking of cattle makes me think
of the fatted calf and the solici-
tude of doting father and his at
titude toward two boys. I have Ia
ways felt that undue consideration
was shown the boy who had been
far away, living on husks, as COM
pared with the too little considera-
ton of the one who stayed at home
and increased the family estate.
do not blame the home boy for
being little sore about the feast
on that fatted calf, for no doubt he
himself had raised it,. Then I ask
ed the Assistant Secretary whether,
in our being especially friendly to
the distant Argentine, we would not
inevitably do harm to homefolks.
his reply was most interesting. AL
though I cannot quote it, T shall
hold it in mind, for it did imply
deep and reasonable interest in
American cattle producers.
Perhaps I shall end this series
OF realeaSes with this item until
Congress meets in regular session
on the 3rd of January. I do not
plan to leave Washington for Ari-
zona at once, for there are import
ant hearings which I should at

AS 1T APPEARS
TO YOUR
CONGRESSMAN
BY JOHN r. MURDOCH

WASHINGTON, Nov. - Con-
gress adjourned last night. The
Republicans and some Democrats
thought that Congress should re-
main in session even up until next
January. The vote in the House for
. orlrnment was roll call vote. l
heard certain Republican members
say, while the roll call was on and
after they had voted mo-, that
they hoped the vote would carry.
They really wanted to go home but
wanted the record to show that
they were anxious to stay in ses-
sionS and "save the country. A
few of both Democrats and Repub-
licanS wanted to remain in session
to take action on major calamities
Of drought and flood which have
visited parts of this country, al
though it is said the Departments
are able to cope with the situation.
Others thought tn a something
ought to be done to change the
harshness of the last legislation per-
tanning to WPA employment.
A Tempe friend writes me that
I should reveal more of my own
thinking under the caption AS 1T
APPEARS TO YOUR CONGRESS-
MAN. Personally, have felt that
the readers Of these items are more
interested in what is happening on
The Hill and in Washington per-
tanning to Arizona, but I'll break
over. I do think the Neutrality Bill
which we passed last night is more
neutral in fact, than the Neutrality
law which we had on the books.
Neither the old law of 1885 nor the
one passed yesterday was really
neutral in effect but only in name.
A lawyer might declare that eacn
was technically neutral, which is
probably true, but even so, I be-
lieve that the technical and legal
neutrality of the new Act is greater
than that of the one we had.

Magdalena and Santa Ana, typical
ly Mexican with many white-plas-
tered buildings, offer much of in

South of Llano the road follows
long straight stretches all the way
to Hermosillo, the clean and order

sillo and Guaymas are attractive
towns with numerous points of his
toric and picturesque interest.

fair enough in dry weather but
treacherous when wet. Good Sec
