Col. C. C. Cooley Dead.
Col. C.X. Codley died at his
home at the Cooley ranch, near
Pinetop, Sunday after a long ill
ness incident to old age, being
about (as we can learn) 85 years
old. burial was made at Fort
Apache Monday with military
honors, he having served as a
soldier.
Col Cooley was one of the most
interesting characters who ever
lived in this section, and was
broad-guaged and liberal minded.
It is claimed that he was possibly
without an enemy in the entire
southwest, something extraordin
ary for any man to lay claim to
after living on the frontier for so
many years, as he had lived here
since away back, in the 70's, locat
ing the Showlow ranch about '76
or '77.
A wife and six children survive.
The children are, Chas. P. Cooley
of Holbrook, Bert and Don U

Amos. Mrs. Chas. H. Pettis and
Mrs. Del A. Penrod, also of this
county .Snowflake Herald.
The Pneumonia Season.
The cold. damD weather of March

vened in regular monthly session
on this date at the hour of 9 a.m.;
there beinc: present Chairman!
Heber Jarvis, Members W. A.
Saunders and John C. Hall and
Levi S. Udall, Clerk.
Minutes of the previous regu

ed. Outdoor relief for the month

Dr. r. J. JDOUiam, oupt. u
Health, was granted a leave of
absence from the state for a per
iod of six weeks, dating from
February 20th, 1917.
In the matter of the petition
from residents of Vernon, Spring
lake and vicinity and also sign
ed by residents from Navajo
county residing at Taylor and
Snowflake, asking the board of
supervisors to declare the road
known as the "Dick Greer Auto
mobile Road" as a county road,
said road leadingfrom Concho via
Springlake to Taylor After a
consideration of the matter it was
ordered by the board that the
"Notice of Presentation of Peti
tion" be first posted as required
by law (Paragraph 5057 R. V. S.
1913,) and that then the board
would take some action in the
matter.
The advertising proposition of
George Wharton James "The au
thor" that was presented to the
board of supervisors for their
consideration, to decide whether
they wanted one chapter in his
new book "Arizona. ihe Wonder
land' ' on Apache county and the
White Mountains,' at a price of
$200.00 or else the county to sub
scribe for 150 copies of the book
at. $3.50 each. The matter was
fully considered and it was d;cided
not to accept his offer at this time,
in view of the fact that the book
was to cro to Dress the early part
of March, and the Board felt that
it did not give them sufficient time
to have copies of the chapter pre
sented to them for their consider
ation and approval.

Despondency Due to Constipation.

and despondent. When this is
due to constipation it is easily cor
rected by taking an occassional
dose of Chamberlain's Tablets.
These tablets are easy to take and
pleasant in effect. Adv.

the average. The representatives
from both Apache and Yuma
