girls and in each instance they all told
the same story, and that was. that
they had no bad faults and that they

a woman hater out of me. but things
have changed since that time and |

The language of the above
paragraph is very clear. Even
though the writer is not an
attorney, he deems it advisable
to take heed of that cannon and
refrain from any discussion what
ever of the arguments of the at
torneys in the case. The rehash
of the arguments of only one
side OF the case is asln'ne to
an extreme; the post mortem ex
animation disgusting.
There is a reference to "The
Winslow Nail and it's Holbrook
supplement, The Argus, which
does not concern the trial, but it
does concern this newspaper.
The News, ever since it's incep
ton, always has had some
grudge against The Argus The
reason we know not and care
not, but these little filings, elm,
mated for the relief of the News,
while of no consequence to us,
it is misleading to the public.
Now let it be known that The
Argus was the first newspaper
ever published in Navajo county,
it is still being published at Hol
brook as separate and distinct
newspaper. 1t is true that it is
printed in Winslow, but that is
done for the very simple reason
that the work can be done much
better there, and as a result a
much better newspaper pub
lished. Under the present man
agement, The Argus has not
needed the assistance of outside
parties, and has all been printed
right here in this county. Now
the public may not know it, but
we are we'll aware of the fact
that one-half of the News is
printed in Los Angeles or some
other city. One-half of it is what
is known to the trade as "patent
insides" or boiler plate" In
most instances the patent inside
is the inferior part of a country
paper, the local or home print
pages being the most interesting
to the local public, but in this
one instance, the patent inside OF
the News is by far the newsiest,
best written, and presents a
much neater appearance than
does the home print section.

RAILROADS WILL
SPEND MILLIONS
New Construction and EQUIP
ment Form the Program
For the Year

udS All era Ol unprecedented
railway development is dawning
for the railroads of the United
States is evidenced by the mann
moth construction and better
ment plans which have been out
lined for the coming season. 1t
is estimated that the railroads
of the United States will expend
I this year more than $500, ,OOO,-
600 in new equipments, better
ments, steel rails, additional and
better equipped terminals and
the like. If conditions still keep
favorable, they will spend on ex-
tensions more than $750,000,-
and if traffic conditions warrant
it, it is believed, the rallrGals
are ready to spend a billion dGl-
lars to handle the greatly in
creased volume of business.
This would seem to follow the
needs of the railway world as
outlined by James ] Hill a few
days ago, when he said that the
railroads of the United States
must spend at least one hun
dred million dollars annually for
the next ten years in order to
keep pace with the development
of the country.
On the basis of orders placed
during March, there will be ex-
pended during the c4frent year
something like the following
amounts: For 28S, 900 steelcars,
1925, 900, 900; for locomotives,
on an estimated cost of $4,000
per engine, $1O9, 100000; for To-
comotives built in the shops Of
the respective companies, S48,-
900; these expenditures totaling
$413, ,O4O,OO0. These estimates
do not include steel rails, road
bed improvements, terminal bet
terments or passenger coaches.
These latter items railroad men
are unable to compute.
Since the first of the year, the
railroads have contracted for
fifty to hfty-fve thousand steel
cars and eleven hundred and fifty
Locomotives. Further contracts
are now pending for nearly twice
this amount. For new railway
terminals, bridges and the like,
contracts were placed during
March for about 10000 tons
of steel.
Exclusive of these items; the
National Railways of Mexico
last week let contracts for 40
1
cars and other equipment, show
ing that the Mexican lines are
reaping returns from the pros
porous condition of the Ameri-
can lines.
The increase ordered in equip
ment and the betterments out
lined in the physical properties
of the railroads are not SC
t1onal, but denote a general con-
dition, which pervades every
part of the country. The west
ern lines, If anything, are spend
ing more in proportion than the
eastern roads, the new eXten-
sions planned swelling their
showing. Nearly every western
line has made plans for new
equipment, for double tracking,
extensions and the like.
The Santa Fe is building dOu-
bic tracks between Kansas City
and Chicago and between Los
Angeles and Albuquerque. The
Rock Island has authorized an
expenditure of at least $1,000
600 for road-bed and equipment.
1t has been stated that this road
will be content with bettering
its present mileage, but it is ac-
tive in Colorado, and may break
into Northern Colorado OF even
| into Wyoming.
