Photographer Elliott
Goes Home to Die.

Hugh Elliott, the we'll known
photographer who conducted his
business here at different times,
passed through Winslow Mon
day on his way home from Need
les, Cal, to Rochester, Ind, hav
ing abandoned all hope OF re-
covering his health.
Mr.. Elliott first came to Wins
low in the tall of 1908 for the
beneht of his health and after
spending the winter here he had
made such recovery as to cause
his return to his home. AS US
ually happens his subsequent ex
perience showed he had overesti-
mated his condition, and in far
worse state than he was on the
previous visit, he again returned
70 Winslow last fall. His pur-
pose was to spend the past win
ter in Needles but deferred going
there until early in January.
Mr.. Elliott was an artist in
photography and enjoyed wide
patronage wherever he was es
tablished. His many friends here
will be panied to learn of lis
homeless condition

St. Patrick's Day is
Honored in Winslow.


Though there were no formal
celebrations to mark st. Pat
rick's day in Winslow, there was
ample evidence of a very general
desire to do honor to Ireland's
patron saint. Elin's national
color was everywhere in evidence
and few there were who had not
been provided with green neck
ties or shamrocks. The sham
rocks varied from the artificial
kind dispensed by the H. II.
Smith Co. to the real thing that
came all the way from the "Ould
Sod. " Yes, John Patrick Kerlev
oi Penzance, erstwhile resident
of Dundalk, county Louth, Ire
land, came into the Mail office
on that eventful day, and almost
bursting with pride and JOY, ex-
hibited a little bunch of real
shamrocks, just received from
the Emerald Isle. To prove to
a doubling editor that they were
really and truly genuine, and not
a species of Arizona alfalfa, he
displayed the box and wrapper
that enclosed the precious green,
and as the higest mark of per-
sonal favor he could bestow, al
lowed the green sprigs to adorn
the sanctum until he was ready
to leave town.
A tasteful display Of green was
exhibited in the furnishings Win
dow of the Babbitt store and,
wonderful to behold, the floor
of the meat department was
covered with an Administer thick
ness of green sawdust. Alr.
! Spellmire volunteered the inform
alton that the growing of green
sawdust represented the success
/ tul elimination of a lifelong eff
/ fort and that his achievement
deserved rank with those of the
| famous Burbank.
! At the hostelry of Col. Thos.
!. Hesser the flag of Erin with
it's harp and shamrocks, was
displayed aloft and the genial
Colonel assured his patrons that
he is the only Winslowite who
can boast possession of an Irish
flag. Many callers were novel
to tears at sight of this silent
but appealing tribute to their
native land, that evoked memOi--
les of the days when they trod
the turf, and many "reminiscences
were recOunted OF the days Wheu
they were b'ys.
In the evening a fife and drum
corps headed by Colonel HeSs-r
and John Donohoe paraded the
streets to the inspiring airs of
"Garryowen," Girl | Left b.
hind Me" and "The Irish Washer
woman" and a number of local
residents of Irish persuasion, in
Guiding Father Connlloy, were
honored with d serenade. Colo
mel Hesser was easily the leading
spirit in the local celebration and
the esteem i'll which he is univer-
sally held was expressed by an
admiring Hibernian when he
said. Tommy is a (oine, dacent
mon. He's good enough to be
Oirish."

A postponed regular meeting
of the common council was held
Monday evening with all mem

by sickness. When adjournment
subject to call was taken at the

action on the question of declar-

appointments to those offices.
Tho the district attorney re-

Gently appointed Superintendent
Of County Roads, was found
dead Wednesday night, fifteen
miles from Concho in Apache
county.
Various rumors arc in circula-
ton as to the cause and circum
stances of his death, and until
some who have gone there re-
turn, the facts in the case will
not be definitely known. Var
ious rumors are in circulation
and opinion seems divided as to
whether it wes murder or acci-
dental death.
When the body was found
Wednesday night by some Mexi-
can sheep herders, who claim
they were attracted to the scene
by the sound of shot, it was at
a point where Smith is supposed
to have camped for the night.
A bullet wound in the forehead
and a Winchester rifle close BY
the body presented the only evil
dence on which theories might
be established. The fact that the
body and gun were close to q
tree at the base of which a dent
was found in the ground, pre-
sumably made by the stock when
set down against the tree, causes
a general belief that the gun was
discharged accidentally in that
way, or else while it was being
taken from one of the pack ami
mails which stood near the body
only partly unloaded.
Smiths carefulness and, long
experience IN handling firearms
causes many OF his friends to be-
lieve that his death was not the
result of accident, but the victim
of cold blooded murder. Moth
ing, however, in the shape of
satisfactory evidence h yet
been attributed to warrant the
murder theory. Old timers are
frequently the victims of their
own carelessness in handling
weapons, and in the absence OF
evidence that would support a
different conclusion, the theory
of accidental death will mos
likely be accepted.
/ 1t is reported that Sheriff Syl-
vester Peralta of Apache county,
after visiting the scene with a
party of citizens, impanneled q
coroner's jury, which rendered a
verdict assigning accident as the
cause of death.
The body was brought to
Concho and from there was
taken to Snowflake, the home of
the deceased. The funeral is ex-
peeted to take place today.
H. B. Smith, or"Hy" as he was
familiarly called, is we'll known
in Apache and Navajo counties
for, though only thirty-seven
years of age, he has spent most
of his life in Northern Arizona.
He was a son of Lot Smith, of
pioneer days, and a brother-1n-
law of Judge r. c. Smith of Hol
brook. From 1902 to 'O4 he
served as county supervisor and
in January last was appointed
by the county board to the new
ly created position of superin-
tendent of roads.

Old Timers Claim
Train Speed Slower.


Speaking about speed said
a Santa Fe railroad man the
other day, "why, ifthe California
Limited, with its present sched-
ule, had been carded eight or nine
years ago, nearly everything on
the road would have run around
it," And from the figures cited
such would have been the case,
according to the old timers.
Santa Fe men during the past
few week, since the announce
ment that the time ofthe Limited,
was to be cut three hours and a
half, have been much interested
in the speed question and records
of decade back have been dug
up and quoted by the old timers.
Santa Fe men laugh at the pub
lished statment in a Los Angeles
paper that the Southern Pacific
claimed the former road couldn't
make the time.
In the days a decade back it
was a common thing, say the
veterans, for passenger trains to
make the run over the division
from Barstow to Los Angeles in
four hours. The schedule time of
the limited is now FIVE hours and
it is indeed a rare occurrence
when tt t four hour mark is
reached. Freight trains in years
past have been known TO make
the run from Los Angeles to San
BernardinO in n hour and a
quar- ter.
Despite the monster locomot
ives that have been built ofrecent
years, t h e statement is made
that the motive power has not
kept pace with the advance OF
other equipment. I h e trains
are now vastly heavier, due to
steel framed cars and increase in
size, than those of eight or ten
years a go. The modern loco
motives are greatly more power
full than the engines of former
days, but the trains of the past
pulled by engines that now re-
semble "tea pots" along side the
present giants, made better time
than the palarial trains of today
it is alleged.
The efforts of the mechanical
department to establish records
in keeping engines out ofthe shop
for as long time as possible
has been at a scrifice Of speed, it
is claimed. The engineers, anX-
ious to conform with the mech
anical department will not work
their engines to make speed at
damage to the engine.
The man in cab of an engine
is under two fires. He must ex-
plain to the operating depart
ment if he loses time and he is at
the same time facing the demand
of the mech anical department to
keep his engine out of the shop
as long as possible. To the man
who makes the best record there
is a reward. He is given a mon
tbs vacation on full pay, trans
portation for himself and family
Wherevere he wants, and letter
of RECOGNITION from his superior
officers And it appears that the
mechanical department has won.
The equipment h a become
heavier but the rOadbed has be
come better, but the fact remains
that the trains of the past made
better time than those OF today,
if we are to believe the old timers.

PALISADES OPPORTUNITY.

With the laying of many miles of
new up-to-date cement sidewalks, the
laying out of the entire east front
with splendid macadam roadways,
and the building of many new homes,
the finishing of the first church edi-
flee, things look brighter than ever
for Palisade. That 1910 will prove the
banner year in the towns history
seems now we'll assured 1t there
fore behooves everybody to lend all
the help possible in the upbuiIding of
Palisade. With an unsurpassed loca-
ton, with ideal surroundings on ev-
cry hand, with iron-clad restrictions
in the deeds to all the property, and
the spirit OF hope pervading the at
mosphere, every resident should pull
and talk for Palisade. Every desir-
able new resident lends valuable aid
and increases values. Another year
should see splendid school building
up and in operation. The situation
never looked more encouraging.

CONFIDENCE.

The one supreme part of mans
ability to do is the feeling of conf
dence. No emotion, no emulation, no
inspiration is stronger than conf
dence. When the human heart is be-
set by trials, when the way seems
uark and hope appears to recede
from our path, it comes back and
fills us with renewed energy when
our work is actuated by confidence.
1t is related that Caesar once crossed
the Hellespont in a rowboat when a
heavy storm arose and the sailors
were so frightened that they were
loath to go ahead with their charge.
"Quid timere, Caesarem vehis?"
What fear ye? You carry Caeser?" he
said. This inspired the men and the
great captain was carried over in
safety. So in life. Confidence has in
spired many weary soul, and cured
many an aching heart He who

much the feeling becomes a faith
All OF the obstacles, all of our cares,
may be removed if we but have the
faith that inspires confidence. There
isn't an aspiration of our lives that
IS not made easy OF accomplishment
worked out in the spirit of trust. 1t
betrays no secret when it is stated
that without confidence there can be
no mutuality OF love. no happiness

A FOOLISH CRITIC.

AS a broad proposition the Fort
Lee Sentinel ought to be ashamed
of itself for the manner it has of
talking about and abiding to Palisade
and Palisadians. Every time a dele
CATION goes to the borough council on
any kind of mission that is felt to be
for the good of the village, this vim
dictive newspaper has to vent its
spleen in some unkind and unwar-
ranted fashion merely because it
cannot agree with our people. The
facts are that no delegation has ever
gone to Fort Lee on any kind of
mission that did not have an honest
motive behind it The park fight has
not been entered into by all of the
residents alike, and some of them do
not agree with some phases of the
movement. But does that affect in
any manner the sincerity or the rights
of our people before the borough
council? Does not the right of ap-
peal form one of the bulwarks of the
national constitution? And shall any
man dare assail this community's
right to go to the borough council
on any subject whatsoever? 1t is
some distance to Fort Lee, and our
residents are all business men who do
not like to leave their homes unless
it is necessary at night. When they
go to the borough council on any
matter whatsoever they are entitled
to every possible consideration, just
as the people of Fort Lee are entitled
to consideration. Our taxes amount
to enough to allow that we be given
respectful hearing at any time, so
long as we are respectful ourselves.
Palisade does not relish these unjust
thrusts because they are uncalled for.
Because the paper disagrees with our
people is no warrant for calling them
names. 1t would be equally as un-
wise and unfair TO abuse the citizens
OF Fort Lee and call them names be-
cause an editor did not happen to
agree with some proposition that
might be before the borough council.
We are all in one borough, and should
so deport ourselves as to have the
minimum OF friction. 1t Is a disagree
able subject to discuss here, but it
will be for the borough's betterment
for all of the communities in it to
bear and forebear A house divided
against itself cannot stand.
