RE: Rhspec.com
Yes, broom finish it is Jason. Luckily my clients listen to me in which cases I have them buy a floater. Saves them tons of cash.
Now, if the hard troweled finish is not emitting, then I am golden doing a floating floor.
Speaking of rubber. My buddy Bill at NRFS sent me to look at some rubber in a Sports Authority. I do trip hazard repairs and replacements for fortune 500 companies, any flooring. They have isles of rubber all over. Manager claims vendor ruined the rubber. Vendor uses a sizzor lift to change light bulbs. When he turned his wheels they scuffed the rubber.
Looks like topical damage to the typical Joe, but what all it did was scuff the dirt off the top. The rubber in the whole place is filthy dirty. Managers says, it make it look like we have a dirty place.......lol
It's so dirty you can hardly distinguish the white speckles in it. The scuff marks made the colors actually show up. Looking along the wall shelving that over hangs the rubber, you can see nice clean virgin rubber with all the color flecks.
Manage wants the rubber replaced in front of the check out counters and some sections of isles. But that would look like day and night. The fix is worse than the remedy, well his remedy. My proposal is for him to clean the stinking rubber floor and the re-evaluate. Rubber ain't that easy to clean though.
Now I've been there before to fix bubbles. Last time...bout a year ago I fixed twenty. Now they are all back and more. The bubbles run the length of the whole building in a straight line. Hmmm, wonder what that is from.
To me having rubber glued down in a retail store is just crazy.

Rubber in a store is perfect!!! Easy to clean, soft under foot and durable as any floor can be! The same reasons it is so prized in hospitals.
Just mop it with profi and give it a light scrub and all is well....

Yea, if you have any sort of maintenance schedule. Rubber requires a steady maintenance schedule to keep up sanitary conditions. Hospitals will do it, gyms ....maybe but retails stores. don't look like it. Still not sure why they use rolls instead of tiles or interlocking tiles for ease of repair.
But can rubber pass the goose test?

Sorry off track.
Now if emissions are not the worry. Why not just blast a surface, let it dry like them europeans, skimcoat and install flooring? Why the need for a product like Koester?

RE: Rhspec.com
YES!!! You can open the surface and let it dry naturally!!! That is just wonderful! Less layers, fewer subs, bond right to concrete.
But you have to weigh the cost of delaying the building turnover vs mitigating. Many times it's cheaper to pay $6/sf to mitigate!
RE: Rhspec.com
1st: re: the power troweled debate - remember that all concrete cracks. In the SW and West we still get a lot of slabs with 2" of sand under them. Those two things blow flooring right off the floor. Even if you have a ACI302.2 complaint floor the crack eliminates all this power trowing debate because a crack kills any benefit from the power troweling. The debate of a densification of the top layer has been proven false over and over again in court due to the failures of the densification companies (snake oil spray on at pour sealing companies).
2nd: Sports Authority: 20 years ago we were (until this year) the 1st reps for that flooring product in the USA. However that chain has been doing a lot of changes not sure if it still the same product. Perhaps they cheeped out and switched to an inferior product. I've seen that floor stick in incredibly wet conditions. It is put down with a one part moisture cured urethane. Every moisture failure I've ever seen has been due to an installer using his favorite adhesive not what is spec'd. Here is a corp memo on moisture testing: http://www.everlastsportssurfacing.com/pdfs/TechTips/TechTips_Moisture.pdf Ernesto the author of that article is the guy you should be talking to. That isn't normal rubber. It is reground rubber. It has almost the porosity of carpet. Not like nora/mondo which are EXTREMELY sensitive to moisture. Rolls are superior with that product as tiles can cost as much as 50-100% more. Also when installed correctly the rolls look a LOT better. If the bubbles are in a straight line it sounds like a bad joint / crack prep. The cleaning can be hard for this product but once you train a guy to more or less flood the floor, use the profi, scrub, and shopvac up the residue, you can keep it clean. In Northern California all the new Sports Authorities have a vinyl type tile down and the only rubber is in the bike areas.
3rd: if you want to do concrete like the Europeans you need at least three things. MUCH better 2nd screeding. Evey slab over there gets an ardex top coat. But not like here. They almost do two placements. Secondly, you have to get rid of American lawyers. When they have moisture failures over there there isn't 1/10th the amount of litigation. 3rd: they get to use completely different adhesives over there, they are much more expert in using 2part urethanes like Mapei G19. G19 is illegal in California. Again Lawyers. Also, I've talked to our tech manager in France and he says that you never get rH tests done over there. They hardly ever get moisture tests done over there.
I have to go eat lunch but will post more later.
RE: Rhspec.com
The power troweled hard surface debate refers to the fact that the burned hard surface retains moisture longer than an open porous system. That's all.

Well JD, I had a long talk with another colleague yesterday and he has seen different issues than just retaining moisture. I think Jason has spoken with him as well. Probably plays into the blasting I guess.
On the Sports Authority, I had to bail. Got a call back to replace, regardless of cleaning, manager said they did clean. Yea, like years ago. I will not be a part of him throwing his light replacement guy under the bus to get a new floor. I mean, heck, how ya gonna change light bulbs with out driving a sizzor lift on it. I bet that floor is ten years old or more.
I thought the line of bubbles were a bad crack prep job, but when I cut open one bubble before I could see trowel lines in the adhesive. Probably where the installer did a glue run down the shot. Rubber is not stuck very well.
As far a #3, if you poured in 2 parts like they do I bet the lawyers would disappear. But you know how American construction is.
Down here in the old parts of town there's alot of colored concrete. A 2 pour, one the slab broom finish andf the the color steel troweled on top. Nice concrete, hardly a crack and smooth as glass. But nothing can stick to it. lol...dry as a bone and hard as steel.

RE: Rhspec.com
For scissor lifts, 95% of my contracting (vs sales) business is in spaces where scissor lifts are used to service lights. Tell this guy:
1) use Masonite under the lifts. (amazing what happens when that becomes a policy and the Masonite is on site)
2) imagine you are driving a car in deep gravel. Would you twist your tires real hard before moving? Or would you move forward turn your wheel a bit and make long arc's of turns? For me the latter. Don't torque the wheel. When you torque a wheel you can damage flooring surface and you can also displace the soft set adhesives.
Those two tips should help him out.
For the hard surface debate and retaining moisture ref this article (Kanare / CTL / Wagner did the testing in the store room where they tested for rH on slabs with different floor finishes): http://www.concreteconstruction.net/curling-and-shrinkage/discovering-the-unexpected.aspx
Of special note: "Howard Kanare, senior principal scientist at CTLGroup, Skokie, Ill., plans to conduct permeability studies on cores contributed by Sundt Construction, Phoenix, which were taken from a different floor slab placed outside the Phoenix area. When the study is complete, the results should help resolve questions about the effect ambient conditions have on the impermeability of densely troweled finishes."
I haven't seen that come out yet I don't think.
RE: Rhspec.com
Good point on the masonite... That would help a lot!!

H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori)
Treatments for H. Pylori
There a number of treatments for H. pylori infection. They include:
- Antibiotics to kill the bacteria
- Medications, including H2-blockers and proton pump inhibitors, to reduce the amount of stomach acid
- Surgery to treat ulcers
Doctors used to advise people with ulcers not to eat spicy, fatty, or acidic foods. However, it is now known that diet has little if any effect on ulcers for most people. Smoking, on the other hand, can interfere with the healing of ulcers and has been linked to their recurrence. If you smoke and have ulcers, that is another reason to stop.
The appropriate treatment for you will depend on a number of factors, including:
- Your age, health, and medical history
- The severity of infection or stomach damage
- Your ability to tolerate certain medications or treatments
- Your treatment preference
As with most health conditions, the best treatment for H. pylori is prevention. Right now, there is no vaccine against H. pylori, and because doctors don't fully understand how the bacterium is spread, there are no guidelines for preventing it. However, it is always important to protect yourself from GI infections by washing your hands well and frequently, practicing safe food preparation and storage, and drinking water from a safe source.

So, what happens to the iPhone 5 now? They announced pricing for the 4s, 5c, and 5s, but nothing for the original 5. What gives? Are all the iPhone 5's out there going to just vanish or self-destruct (triggered by some super secret tech built into the thing)? Will the iOS 7 upgrade brick my year-old phone? They usually cut the price of the previous model to $99 on contract, but now with the new plasticy 5c starting at that price point I guess they don't want to compete with the original 5. Maybe I have a collector's item now. :)
The 'C' stands for Cheap and the 'S' stands for Superfluous I guess...
Why oh why didn't you release a larger screen device Apple?? Still stuck at 4 inches. Hard to believe actually in a sea of 4.5, 4.7 and 5-inch smartphones.
Editor In Chiefhttp://hothardware.com
I am REALLY glad Apple stuck to a 4" screen!!! If they want to sell a phablet they can design one but they can't throw out a high end phone in favor of a phablet! It's either both, or 4" only since apple is thing to sell phones and not micro tablets!
HOWEVER.... Still no NFC?? No .11ac wifi?!?!? Same poor build materials and bad paint jobs?!?!? An ugly ass gold color which seems to be tailored towards women?!?! Only upgrades I actually see are the A7 SoC and fingerprint reader that I could care less about.
Looks like I will be waiting for a flagship 4"~ WP8 device before I upgrade (you listening MS/Nokia?)
The 'C' stands for Cheap and the 'S' stands for Superfluous I guess...
^LOL^ I really don't care what the case is made of because I would just slap a protective cover on it anyway, but I think that fingerprint button is a great feature. Hopefully Apple didn't somehow obtain some flaky patent on fingerprint unlock.
SPAM-posters beware! ®
The new camera/flash should make for some of the best quality photos of any cell phone available and the fingerprint scanner sounds like it has a lot of potential. Yet, Apple was stubborn and chose not to go with a larger screen. I understand there are people who want a small 4" inch screen, but many do not.
Why not offer both the 4" model and another model that has around a 4.7" screen? Apple could have at least gone to something like a 4.5" screen, by minimizing the top, bottom and side bezel, without really increasing the overall size of the phone.
Guess I will just have to hope HTC comes out with something new or refreshes the One with a Snapdragon 800 processor and a better camera sometime soon.
***** Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted. *****
Super Dave; I would never carry my phone without a protective case.. That said it doesn't mean your phone is protected. The aluminum case on my iphbe5 has dented even through my heavy duty case and the black paint has nearly all rubbed off around the edges and the back side looks pretty dull and speckled with the silver color showing through. This may not change the function of the phone but it severely effects the resale value not to mention my flagship phone looks like crap outside of it's case now.
the "C" actually stands for "Crap" and the "S" stands for "Shit". Apple has done some upgrades, but being stuck with that tiny screen still limits the phone sooo much, Apple has souch impresive tech specs, but upgrade there phones only about once a year and fall behind on the tech front after only a month or two. Angry birds and Fruit ninja suck on a 4" screen, and forget about watching movies, or editing the videos you just shot with that impresive new hardware, that screen is just too damn small
Clayton; it's subjective, for many of us the screen size is perfect and for some people it might even be too big! Not many of us watch full-length movies on our phones! it is a huge battery drain not to mention most people have a monthly datacap that wouldn't allow more than a few movies a month anyway. Angry Birds sucks on a 4'? what about gameboys/DS's they are pretty small yet they are used for gaming and you can argue that those games suck compared to playing them on a TV but it isn't very practical to carry around a TV everywhere just like it isn't practical for everyone to carry around phablets.
As for the upgrade cycle you are correct but this is the way apple has ALWAYS done things! It isn't limited to their phones. Take their macbook lineup for instance, the day of release they are often benchmark and feature leaders but a few months into all their product cycles that hardware is surpassed by the competition even though they continue to offer the same hardware often for a year or more without an update OR a price drop. That's why I would only consider buying apple hardware at or near launch when it is worth every penny but a year into it I would not buy that same product with more powerful and cheaper alternatives being available from competitors. That's just apple no changing it any time soon they don't like saturating the market with dozens of SKU's, this keeps R&D spending to a minimum and it nets larger profits per device at the end of their life cycles. Good for Apple, bad for consumers.

" Sweet bird, sweet bird," she weeping said.

The reader may be tempted to doubt this statement a little later, and so I take the trouble to repeat it: I am a brave man. I am not a military hero, nor a celebrated naval officer; I have never rescued any human being from the jaws of death. I am merely a housekeeper and a brave man. Our new girl, Betty, has been in the house for two months. We never found an opportunity of being displeased, and were beginning to congratulate ourselves upon this unprecedented good fortune in selecting a domestic. My wife and ^on started for Margate about a fortnight ago, leaving me to follow at my leisure. Everything went .on quite smoothly for a week, when a gentleman called at my office in a state of wild excitement. He related a most pitiful tale. It appeared that Hs family had, like my own, departed to a watering-place, and left him in charge of the house and servants. As there was no particular cause for alarm, -he spent his evenings out. Judge of his dismay, on returning one night, to find his front door open; servants and silver had fled together. That story made a great impression on me. I was not in the habit of returning home much before midnight, and for that very evening had promised to dine out with a few friends. My Wife's last words had been, when we parted, " Now, John, you must be be very careful about the house. Betty is a good cook, but she may be only waiting for an opportunity." Of course I promised; but how did I keep my word? . By dining out and never reaching home until all hours, utterly regardless of the little woman's command. This, I resolved, should be my last excursion. I would devote the remainder of my evenings to guarding my household property. The dinner - passed off pleasantly enough, but a vague presentiment of danger hovering above my head marred in a measure what would otherwise have proved a delightf ol evening. My companions were a trifle displeased when I insisted upon leaving them early, and I reacted home before 10. I at once hurried to my house, walking so fast that the perspiration rolled from my forehead like Tain. As I opened the gate, my notice was called to a light .burning faintly in the front kitchen. Oar new girl had not yet retired, and I opened the front door as noiselessly as possible. I went up to a little room on the second floor, and sat down to finish a couple of letters. Soon after, the dock struck 11. I thought it strange that Betty was up so late, and presently I heard her coming up stairs. I believed that she was going to bed;but, pausing a moment on the top stair, she turned and went below again. What did that mean? I turned out the gas, and descended to my bedroom on the floor below. I began to xwfeep? cwitl was on the pint of ■commit Subscription: $1,50 per Annum. CLABE, MICHIGAN,^ retiring, when I heard the girl coming up for the second time. She paused oh the landing as if to listen. I coughed twice, and crossed to the window. This apparently satisfied her, as she went down immediately. My suspicions were aroused fully. Hastily throwing off my shoes, I crept softly to the head of the stairs and listened. I heard Betty enter the kitchen, leaving the door open behind her. I went down to the next landing, and paused again. Hark! there were voices in the kitchen; a man's voice, I was ready to swear. Clutching the banister for support, I listened. Through the open door I could hear the man's voice quite distinctly. I had no difficulty in making out his words "Well, is the governor asleep?" "Not yet," the girl replied. "I heard him just now walking across the room." " Then we must wait a bit longer," eaid the man. " Go on," said the girl, " with what you were telling-me about the—" " O, ay, to be sure," broke in the man. " Well, you see, we wanted to put it off a little while, because he was rather lean; but, howsoever, we killed him." "Hark!what's that?" suddenly cried my female domestic. I knew what it was. I had uttered a hollow groan. The man was a murderer. He had killed him, whoever he was, and would very soon settle me. I do hot know what mysterious power took hold of my limbs, but the next minute I found myself in the middle of my room, shaking like an aspen. How many steps I came up at a time will never be known to my mind. It must not be believed that I was frightened; the trembling of my limbs was due to a nervous affliction Which always .troubles me whenever there is danger. When in this state I act unconsciously, without being aware of or responsible for my actions. • The door was double locked and bolted behind me, and I crept to the front window. Heaven only knew how many thieves and perhaps murderers were at that moment assembled in the kitchen, awaiting only Betty's signal tb plunder the house and slaughter me. Nobody must think that I was afraid to go down stairs and* ask who sat there; on the contrary, the reader is expected never to lose sight of the fact that I am a brave man. The clock .struck midnight. I left the window and went over to my wife's dressing-table. Hastily gathering up a few stray rings and other articles of jewelry, I tied them in a handkerchief, and resolved to defend it with my Kfe. The nest question was how io defend my property.

With this venerable relic I felt bold as a lion, and crept cautiously down to the bedroom again. It was 1 o'clock. I resumed my post at the window and waited. Two o'clock. The policeman passed without giving a single glance at the house. I spent my time in looking from the street to the door, expecting every moment io behold the burly form of a gaunt, masked burglar creeping vi- ciousl/ up behind my chair. Three o'clock. The silence on every side was so profound that I could hear the rapid pulsations of my own heart. Four o'clock. Still I waited, and still no change. At 5 the lamp-hghter ran through the street, putting out the gas; and the market carts came along from all quarters. It wanted but a few minutes of 6, when I saw the figure of a man pass cautiously out of -the kitchen up into the street. I gave a great sigh of rehef. The night of terror was passed. I placed the trusty sword in a corner of the room, and tlrrew myself upon the bed. Despite the din cf the street, I managed to sleep soundly for two hours. When I awoke the sun was already high. After breakfast I sent Betty for a paper. During her absence I gathered up all the silver spoons and forks, and placed them in a carpet-bag which I had prepared for that purpose. I left the hoxise in a state of the wildest excitement, not daring to accuse the cook, lest she should escape with all the furniture and coals during my absence. I ran to the telegraph office, and sent a j dispatch to Margate. In the street! was accosted with: "Hallo, Benson! Carpet-bag all packed. Going to meet Mrs. B. ? " I replied that I was going to meet Mrs. B., but where I did not see fit to explain. The bag remained under my desk all day, and it was in my hand when I encountered my wife at the station. She breathlessly asked what had gone amiss, and I related my fearful ordeal of the past night. She fully entered into the peril of the situation; I called a cab, and we were driven home. Betty answered the door, with glaring eyes at seeing her mistress. We went down to the kitchen. There sat the man. I knew him in a second, and turned toward my wife. " Wlio is this? " I roared, seizing Betty by the wrist. " Who is what ?" stammered the S-u***- " This man—this assassin—who entered this house by stealth, with the idea of plundering me while I slept?" "Plunder?" echoed the affrighted girl. " Why, bless you, my master, this is Billy, my brother!" I turned pale, and glanced toward my wife. " Your what? " I yelled, purple with rage. " He's my own brother. I haven't seen him for five years. He arrived from Kilkenny three days ago, and stopped here while he was looking for a situation. "Where did you sleep?" inquired Mrs. Benson, turning to the man. "Betty said she'd smuggle me upstairs into one of the attics, after the master was asleep, and never say a word to any 6ne about it. But it seems the i diclij'fc go t*9 bed at all last night; so Betty and me sat up till this morning, talking of the old country." I was too bewildered to o'ffer a reply. ""Share, I am no thief," the man went on. "You might have heard us talk if you had listened. I didn't try to hide -didl?" It was indeed true. Billy was no assassin—the him that they had killed was their pig, and they couldn't afford to wait till he was fat-—but as honest a working man as I ever hope to find. We said nothing to Betty, and I took the spoons and forks out of tne carpetbag, throwing them upon the table, without saying a word. I need not speak of my wife'-s compliments, but she insisted on going back to Margate. She certainly did make a few unpleasant remarks, and went so far as to call me a , but I assured her she was mistaken. I am a brave man. The old sword still stands in the corner behind the chair. I don't think I shall ever have courage to take ijb up to my son's room again; but, for all that, I am, if not physically, certainly morally, a brave man.

Hand-to-Haml Encounter Sinner. ["Chicago Times Interview with Frank Girdxd, the Famous Scout.] The reporter asked the plucky scout if he had ever come across SittingpBall. " Yes," was the reply. "I once had a hand-to-hahd encounter with him. In the spring of 1864, a body of Sioux camped on the opposite side of the river, within a mile and a half of the fort. Sitting Bull and a party of twelve came on a visit to the Berthold Indians, who were still in their winter quarters. They afterward came to the fort, and I told Sitting Bull that I could only allow himself and a few o| the principal men of the tribe to come inside and trade. He knew that regulation was customary when we were a little weak, and he made no objection. I further told him to go" iato the store and trade at our regular priees, and when he was through I would satisfy him by giving him anything,that he wanted, but I could not penhit him to fix the price. He went into the store and got some Iroquois shells, which are largely used by the savages for°purposes of ornamentation.. He offered five buffalo robes for them, but the price was ten, and the store man would not accept his offer. Sitting Bull came into my office and said he would not give more than five robes for the shells. _.Uold .i"'~- -1-". 6ould uoU*i/-"sJ*1,'"J' T A '*^,»ay'.'"ITnowing the treacherous nature of the Sioux, I watched, him over my shoulder. He had his arms crossed on the stock of a double-barreled gun, the muzzles of which were resting on the floor. As I stepped away from him, Sitting Bull raised the gun and was bringing it to bear upon me, when I dropped the shells, seized and threw up the barrels of the gun, and knocked the caps off with my thumb. While I was doing this the second chief of the Bees, who was in the office, pulled out his revolver and covered Sitting Bull, asking me in Indian, " What do you say?" I thought a second or two and the friendly chief repeated his question, but I answered, No." The newspaper man suggested that Mr. Girard had missed a glorious opportunity of ridding the United States army of one of its most dangerous enemies. "Well," said the scout, smiling, "we don't always know how things will turn out, thought if Sitting Bull was killed in side tbe fort there were sufficient Indians in his camp to have smoked us out. He left shortly after this little episode, looking anything but pleased, and he sent me word by Bloody Knife that he had an arrow in his quiver which he would never use until he met me again. I returned the compliment by sending him word that I had a rifle which always spoke the truth when it spoke, and that when I saw him he would hear of it. This challenge remained in force for two years, when Sitting Bull Avas desirous of visiting the Berthold Indians. He sent two runners with a pipe of peace and asked me to smoke and terminate the feud. With this pipe he sent two fine American horses, as a sort of in * ducement for us to smoke. At the solicitation of the chiefs of the Berthold Indians I smoked the pipe, and gave the horses to the head chiefs at the fort. I sent word to Sitting Bull that as he came so would I receive him; if empty- handed, so would I be, but if he had a bow and arrows, I would have my pistol. From that day to this I have never had the pleasure of meeting Sitting Bull. I understand that he came to the village at dark and always returned to his camp before daylight." and waited until 3leep.

In his letter,- resigning* the* position of Government Director of the Union Pacific "railsoarl, Ms. Charles*Francis Adams, Jr., states • very clearly and forcibly the difficulties which surround that position. It is impossible, he say's, for "any one to discharge satisfaetorily the duties of a Government Director under the present laws. These* duties, involve a thorough knowledge of the whole subject of railroad construction and management, the closest and most painstaking attention to detail to the annual inspections of the property to which the Government is so largely interested, and. a constant Immiliajtion of •the official in .the fact that he isJ at all. times the guest of the corporation he is, expected to supervise. Mir. A&nsi says on this point: "To a person in any way sensitive it is fas from pleasant to be the guest of a corporation; to eat and sleep and live at its expense; to accept every possible attention and hospitality from its officers, aud, meanwhile to keep careful note of eyery point open to criticism, and, when the ..time comes, to-speak openly. and "truthfully, no matter how much what is said may hurt. Neither is it agreeable to do a public duty faithfully and ait the same, time to accept the money- of one who suffers from the performance of the duty even though that one" be a corporation. Yet the Government Director who does his duty must, under the law as it now stands, either do this or go "wholly unpaid. As long as tkfe system continues, it is practically, to-, evitable that services of a purely formal ^character can only be looked for. The aetive Government Director is at best but an honorable spy." ., .

A Catamount Huntress. Miss Susie Jones, daughter of Capt. Jones, a pioneer settler of the county, last week noticed that the dogs had "treed" some animal near the house, armed herself with a gun, and proceeded to investigate the matter. No sooner had she approached the tree than a gigantic catamount sprung to the ground. The dogs followed in close pursuit over tangled -weeds and through the dense ■willows and forests of the Tuolumne for near a mile, when the animal again took to a tree for protection. The brave girl trudged on alone, with her gun on her shoulder; and, on coming up with the dogs, soon discovered his catship in unusually close proximity; but, not daunted by Hs glaring eyes and ferocious appearance, took deliberate aim and fired. The cat made a spring, but fell to the ground dead. Swinging the monster over her shoid- ders, she carried him home to triumph as a trophy of her prowess. A friend sent us the animal, and we found it to be one pf the largest of his species. The young-lady hunter has only seen some 14 or 15 summers, and is a native of pijr QQ\iuty,—Mod^to (Cal.)

Just watch the next man you see meet a tall one and see if this conundrum doesn't follow the first greeting. Just watch, and see if you do not ask it yourself. And this must be dreadfully wearing on the tall man. I have observed that, as a rule, big men, tall men, are good natured. It is we little fellows who have waspish tempers. So the tall man never resents this venerable joke by sitting down on the man who gets it off. He smiles drearily, and with a weary effort to appear interested, and tries to look as though he had never heard it ^^of AuSable to borrow money to be used before. It must be a perfect torture ^ construction of a briage and to issue bouds for the tall man to bear this question fifty times a day for thirty or forty years. Sometimes, when I hear a dozen men ask a tall man of my acquaintance this question, in direct succession, and see Mm endure it so patiently, I wish I was the Colossus of Bhodes, and a little man four feet eleven and a half would come up to me some day when I felt right good, and stare up at me with a grin longer than his body, and ask me " If it wan't pretty cold up there? " and I would hold him up by the neck, and I would swing my brazen leg until it got the motion of and impetus of a walking beam, and then I would kick the little fellow so high that he could read the names of the streets on the street lamps in Uranus, and I would sarcastically shout after him, "No, it's red hot!" Have tall men no rights that we who live eight or ten inches nearer the earth are bound to respect?—Bur- delte. ^_ Never blow down a lamp-chimney. It may return the compliment aj!<i blow you up.

A Warning to Cat-Keepers. Testerday morning, as two ladies were preparing their toilet, an accident of perhaps a serious nature occurred. The elder lady was sitting with a large cat at her feet. Suddenly, without warning, the animal seized one of the legs of the lady, and tore the flesh with its teeth and claws. Before the younger lady, her daughter, could como to her assistance, the.wounds inflicted by the cat were many and painful. The young lady took hold of the little enraged beast and pulled it quickly away. The cat, infuriated to a tigerish anger, then: sprung at her, its tail swollen as large as a human arm, and scratched her, besides badly tearing her dress. A neighboring gentleman was appealed to for help, and, bythe aid of the young lady'u tight grip on the cat's*neck, and a dumbbell in the hands of the gentleman, the furious creature was killed. A physician was called to dress the wounds of the elder lady, who is afflicted with erysipelas in the laceiated limb, and whose safety is a matter of anxiety.— Wilmington (N. C.) Sun.

1877 - 1881
Arizona Timeline
1877 - Territorial capitol moves from Tucson back to Prescott.
1877 - John Philo Hoyt appointed by the President as the fourth Arizona Territorial Governor.
1878 – Tombstone founder, Ed Schieffelin filed a claim for the Lucky Cuss Mine. He sold his shares in the silver mine for $ 600,000 in what became a

Rutherford B. Hayes was born
in 1822 in Delaware, Ohio. After
graduating from Harvard Law
School he practiced law in Ohio.
He entered the army during the
Civil War and rose to major
general. From 1865 to 1867 he
served in the House of
Representatives, followed by
three terms as governor of Ohio.
Lucy Webb Hayes was born in
1831 in Chillicothe, Ohio. She
graduated at age 18 from
Wesleyan Female College. Hayes
was practicing law in Cincinnati
where they met and were married
in 1852. Of their eight children,
five grew to adulthood.
During his years as Ohio governor, President Rutherford Hayes earned a reputation for honesty and efficiency. He was nominated for president in 1876.
Because of disputed results from several states, the result of the election was in doubt for some time. The Democratic candidate, Samuel Tilden, won the
popular vote, but the Electoral Commission's decision was that he had one fewer electoral vote. Thus, Hayes won the presidency. During his term he
withdrew troops from the South and took a conservative position on financial issues. He served only one term, and died in 1893.
Lucy Hayes endeavored to make official White House entertaining attractive and was a popular hostess, even though liquor was banned at the mansion
during the Hayes administration. On leaving the White House, Hayes retired to Ohio, where Lucy died in 1889.

SOUTHWEST All-Indian POW-WOW
Published Annually By Pow-Wow, Inc.,

Copyrighted 1942, By Pow-Wow, Inc.
This program contains authentic and interesting
information about the Southwest Indians, also
detailed information about the 1942 Pow-Wow
afternoon and night shows.
Annually thousands of Indians
from more than 20 tribes of the
southwest gather in Flagstaff
around July 4 to hold a three-day
celebration, which has come to be
known all over the world as the
Pow-Wow. On occasions the celebration
features have been broadcast
over an international radio
hook-up. Visitors have come to
Flagstaff from almost every corner
of the world to see this unusual
The celebration is staged by the
Indians for the Indians. White
spectators are welcome, just as
they are welcome to witness some
of the ceremonials staged by the
Indians at their own reservation
homes. As whites enjoy gathering
together at county and state fairs,
so do the Indians like to meet in
Flagstaff for their Pow~Wow.

occasion. In the early days the
white men joined with the India:qs
to hunt game to provide food for
the feasts. As years went on the
merchants supplied the food from
their stores of merchandise.
Gradually the gathering of the
Indians became a larger and larger
event, as the word about these
enj oyable times spread over the
nearby reservations and later over
the entire southwest. It took more
planning by the merchants in order
to make the affairs successful
ones. Committees were formed and
these committees finally evolved
into a year-around board of directors.
Definite dates had to be
set, so that everything would be
ready when the thousands of Indians
made their friendly invasion.
This will be the 14th year that the
gathering has been known as The
Southwest All-Indian Pow-Wow.
Tons of beef, mutton, beans, potatoes,
bread and other foods are
required to feed the 7,000 to 10,000
Indians that come here annually
for the three-day celebration. Hundreds
of horses, steers, cows,
calves and bulls are brought and
cared for so there will be plenty
of wild range livestock for the
Indian rodeo performances each
afternoon. Prizes must be awarded
for all types of events to reward
the contestants.
Flagstaff for many years has
been the friendly site for these Indian
gatherings. In the early days,
when traders stopped their wagons
beside the springs at the foot of
the nearby towering San Francisco
peaks, the Indians came and
camped around the white men's
wagons to trade and enj oy games,
dances and competitive events.
The custom continued when the
wagon traders gave way to tent
stores, hastily constructed frame
buildings and finally the present
permanent city of business and
residential structures. It had been
the habit of the transient traders
and later the permanent merchants
to donate food to help make the
gathering of the Indians a festive Cheyenne Dancer
The Indians will be here in as
large a numper as ever, probably
larger, and the celebration will
be even bigger and better.

Indian women and papooses, all tribes and all ages, can be seen as above. Indian mothers care for their babies
tenderly and lovingly just as mothers do all over the wO'i'ld. They proudly enter their babies in the papoose
contest, each confident that her baby is the prize winner. Pretty young Indian misses, like girls and young
women everywhere, like to display their finest apparel and jewelTY and get shy enjoyment out of entering the
beauty contest.
Bob Hansel is again in charge of
the Pow-Wow rodeo shows this
year. A. veteran cowhand and rodeo
performer, he knows what it
takes to put over a thrill-packed
rodeo . • It'll be better than ever
tkis yea,r, Hansel promises.
Hopi Craftsman Exhibition
The public is cordially invited to attend
the 13th annual Hopi Craftsman
exhibition to be held July 1 through
July 5 at the Museum of Northern Arizona,
three miles northwest of Flagstaff
on the Fort valley road. The exhibit
will be open each day from 9 a. m.
to 8 p. m.
Arts and crafts of the Hopi villages
will be on display. Six craftsmen will
be there to demonstrate their various
crafts. This is not a commercial enterprise,
but articles may be purchased,
all proceeds going to the Indians who
made them. .. Tobe Turpin, shown above, directs
the Pow-Wow shows. He is well
known to the Indians of the Southwest
as an Indian trader and has
had years of experience helping the
Indians stage their celebrations .
Above are typical scenes at the Pow-Wow. At the left a group of elderly Navajo men gather to trade, talk and "joke and
at the ?'ight a group of women hold a gossip fest about the things Navajo women are interested in and talk about,
Above and on the opposite page are some scenes taken during past years of the all-Indian rodeo. These give evidence why
white spectatoTs say the Pow-Wow afte'rnoon rodeo show is the best show of its kind in the wOTld. These Indian boys have
a lot of fun doing the daredevil stunts with really wild livestock. Times in the contests are not 'record breaking and there
is lacking the smoothness of the professional cowboy of white 1"odeos, but the spirit of happy and carefree daring exhibited
by the Indian cowboys makes the pe1'formances outstanding for thrills, laughs and showmanship.
Each morning at 11 o'clock during the Pow-Wow the Indians, many hundreds of them, parade through Flagsta.ff downtown
itr, ets. Nowhere else can you see such a colorful sight.
You'll see all kinds of Indians, each tribe dis,tinctly different because of their costumes, jewelry a,nd bead, shell and f eather
All ages, from youngste·rs to oldsters, are represented in the ceremonial dances of the various tribes. These dances a're
important rituals to the tribes, handed down through the generations, most of them hav'ing 'religious significance based
on legends that go back to prehistoric times.
Above a?'e more scenes of the afternoon rodeo show. At the lowe?" lelt the famous Nav(}'jo chicken-pull contest is shown.
An Indian man from another tribe tries to barter with a Navajo while the latter's family look on with show of concern
indicating their mistrust of the visiting trader and some doubt that their husband and father will be able to
cope with him.

This old Navajo, like thousands of others from mo?"e than 20 t·ribes of the southwest, enjoys coming to Flagsta.tf
year after year to attend the annual Southwest All-Indian Pow-Wow. We hope you likP-d the Pow-Wow t his
