W. P. GEARY FOR
 COMMISSIONER

District Attorney w. P. Gearv who IS candidate for the office 1 of Corporation Commissioner of which office there are three men to be elected in the coming gen eral election is receiving favor { able press comments all over the territory. In this weeks issue of the MAIL we are publishing an article about Mir. Gearv which recently appeared in the Phoenix Sun of which Mir. Sam Small well known to Winslow people, is editor and proprietor.
 As shown by notice of candi- dacy for office as published in last weeks issue of the Mail Hon. w. P. Geary announce his candidacy for member of the "Corporation Commission" Now there IS propably nc man in Ariz- ona more fitted to fill this i'm portant position than Mir. Geary, for several reasons He is not handicapped by connection with any corporation whatever, free and independent in judging mat ters which may come before that body, therefore in a position to deal fairly with both the people and all public service corpora tiOns Besides as this body will consist of three members, it is only far that the northern part of the State should be represen- ted by one member. By educa- tion both legally and otherwise and his high standard of intelli- genCe, he will command the res. pect of all with whom he may come in contact. Let Navajo county and the entire northern counties of the state give him enthusiastic support at the pri maIies, and we feel confident that the southern part of the State will be fair and impartial enough to see to 1t that in the person of Mr. Geary tie north will get what she is justly enti- tied to.
 When first coming to the west and Winslow, about nine years ago, from Bost on, being d com paratively young man, Mir. Geary was nominated on the democratic ticket for distr1ct at torney for which office he was elected and has held the same continuously until this day show ing the high esteem that the peo- pie of this county have for him

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
 AT HARVEY HOUSE

Florence, one Of the cashiers $ at the lunch counter, at the Har- vey House, on Wednesday after noon made an attempt to con- init suicide in a fit of despon- dency while at her room in the Harvey House. Florence came to Winslow about a year ago from Chicago. and was later ac- companied by her sister Sophia, who 1S at present working for the Harvey system. Florence at the time of this happening was head waiter at the lunch coun- ter and becoming d,srondent over some love affair went to her room, after making all nee essary preparations for her death, left a note for her lover and one for her sister, which are are now in possession of Mana ger Briody. After all this was done she took a dose of one ounce of carbolic acid and one one half ounces of denaturized alcohal
 She was first discovered by her sister at about 1:2O in the after
 noon and immediately Drs. o. $. Brown and Geo. P. Samp- son assistant to Dr. Brown did all in their power to relieve the patient of the poison. After some had work, of about half an hour with stomach pumps, they relieved the patient of most Ot the poison, after which she immediately recovered her senses and has been rational ever since The latest report received from the doctors tells that she will recover and that both she and her sister will leave here in few days for thelr home in Chicago.

NAVAJO COUNTY MAN
 FOR COMMISSIONER
(From the Phoenix Sun. ]


 w. P. Geary. of Winslow, known to his legion of friends throughout the new state as Paul" yesterday announced his candidacy for the democratic nomination for member of the corporation commission.
 MT. Geary is at present dis trlct attorney of Navajo county, which position he has held for the past five years and where he has made an enviable reputation for himself as lawyer. He is a brilliant speaker, a sound and clear thinker and a deep student of the law and is a familiar fig ure in the court rooms of the northern counties where he has been retained in nearly all of the cases of consequence during the past ten years. At present he is in Flagstaff assisting the district attorney of Coconino county in prosecuting some important criminal cases.
 "Paul' Geary has a host of friends in Phoenix and there was considerable discussion of his candidacy on the streets of the city last evening. It was the concessus of opinion tkat the north was entitled to a member of the corporation commission ana that member should be Paul Geary and that his election will be more Tn the nature of a ratifi- cation than contest.
 MT. Geary is a lifelong demo- crat and has taken an active part in politics since the day ot his arrival in Arizona, 15 years ago. His name has often been mentioned in connection with the democratic congressional nomination but of this he would have naught. His friends know ing his many qualifications, then urged him to stand for the nomination for member of the corporation commission and thls he consented to do.
 Mir. Geary will stump the new state in the interest of his candi dacy and it is predicted that his brilliant oratory in announcing his fearless stand tor. the princi- pies of progressive government as advocated by the democracy of Arizona will land him an easy winner in the contest.

Senate for which he is aspiring. It was the intention of Mir. Smith to make a public speech but as no preparatory arrangements were made he postponed the date un- til our Frontier Celebra t l O n, when all the celebrieties will be in Winslow. Mir. Smith is and has always been the great friend of Arizona, having represented its people in Congress for years and, although defeated for re- election ill the last campaign for Delegate to Congress, he was one of the hardest workers for Statehood in Washington, and thru his able efforts and his pop ularity much good has been done to bring about statehood.

 Ten thousand railroad ties that have been "pickling" in Great Salt Lake, Utah for the last three years, have just been removed from that body of highly mineralized water and are now being transported to Hazen, Nevada, there to be giv- en a trial on the new Hagen cut. off of the Southern Pacific Com pany. "Pickling" railroad ties in the Great Salt Lake is by no means a new experiment. on the part of the railroad company.
 There are ties in the Old Prom ontory line of the Central Pa cific Railway, which were placed there 40 years ago and have not decayed, proving the preserva- tive qualities of the salt forma- tion in which they "pickled" for years before being laid on the road-bed. Filing is also being preserved in this lake as excel lent results have been obtained by the piling in the great trestle across the lake, which, since the day 1t was first placed in the first part of the construction of the Lucin cut off, has shown no deterioration.
 The ties that have just been removed from the Great Salt Lake w Il be subjected to a hard test in the alkali soils of Nevada. The "pickling' process has caused them to become heavily inn pregnated with salt and they act as a "ground" to the elec- tric current i'll the Block Signal service.
 This fact makes them unfit for use on the main line of the Com pany, over which the block sig nals play a most important part.
 The preserving of ties and pill ing in Great Salt Lake may be- come an important industry, if the experiment now being worked out prove as successful as former tests
