The Best Ever

The company which will pre-
sent "The Lion and the Mouse"

WORK STOPPED ON
new ROUNOHOUSE

Work on the new round-house
for the Santa Fe has practically
been stopped the last week on ac-
count of the severe cold weather,
it being unable to mix and put
up the concrete walls properly
before the same would freeze.
It has been exceptionally cold
here for the last few weeks, on
account Of a recent snowfall To-
cally and in the mountains and
old-timers declare that it has not
been so cold here in the last ten
years as it has been the last
weeks. Although the weather
is noderating some now and the
hope to be at work

LEAGUE GAME,

Thursday evening last the bas-
ket ball league of Winslow got
together for the fourth clash in
the series of games scheduled for
the winter.
The principal game of Thurs
day evening was between the H.
S. team and the City team. AS
there is considerable rivalry be-
tween these two teams a lively
game was the result, and after
putting up a game fight the High
School boys were compelled to
acknowledge the superiority of
the City team to the score of At
to 90.
Fishburn, Vincent, Moore, He
bert and Fogarty, certainly play
a clean, vigorous, honest game of
basket ball, and with the support
of the balance of the team, make
a tough proposition for the High
School boys to tackle, and though
defeated deserve credit for hard
honest work.
Parks, Marley, Sampson, Hans
borough and Drumm are making
a record for the High School and
will yet lift the Maroon and
White from the dust and plant it
on the pinacle Of victory.
The game was followed by
contest between the two girls
teams of the High School. The
young ladies composing these
teams have acquired the W. H.
S. spirit and put up an intensely
interesting game, which was, un-
fortunately brought to an abrupt
ending by the blowing of the fire
whistle which cleared the hall in
a moment.
The Navajo team scheduled to
play. the Santa Fe's, failing to ap-
pear, forfeited to the S. F's.

saws.
1T is beyond reasonable doubt
that the establishment of the
canteen decreased drunkenness
in the army, and that its elimi-
nation has largely increased dis
slpation among enlisted men.
Without exception, the company
officers who have been habitually
questioned on the subject, state
that the restoration of the can
teen" would morally and physical
ly benefit the army.
The Winslow mail., 1912-12-28

During the basket ball game at
the Opera House on Thursday
evening, when the fire whistle
blew announcing the fire at the
old brewery, some idiot yelled
"Fire!' The game stopped i'm
mediately and a stampede made
for the exit started at once by
both audience and players. Had
there been a full house the conse-
quences would have been serious.

THE CANTEEN SHOULD
Be RESTORED"
Say Well-Known Army Men


has written as follows:
when the canteen was in
operation there were fewer de-
sertions, fewer fines imposed by
sentence of court-martial, less al
coholism, and less disease than
prior to its. establishment. I am
satisfied that a careful considera-
ton of the whole subject will be
convincing evidence that the abo-
lition of the canteen has resulted
in injury to the service.
Major-General Fred erick d.
Grant says:
while | deplore the sale Of
liquor, always, | believe its sale
under restrictions and complete
control is a lesser evil than it's
sale in the low saloons and vile
dens of vice which have surround
ed Army Posts since the canteen
was abolished. The canteen in
the army was the soldiers club,
and their resort for social inter
course and innocent amusements.
Under careful restrictions beer
and light wines could be obtained,
but were never sold to one who
showed the least effect of having
taken too much. These canteens
were managed by the company,
officers, commissioned and nom
commissioned, and were always
conducted in the interests Of the
soldiers, who regarded them as
their clubs in which they took
pride, approaching their privileg-
es. Upon the abolition of the
canteen, which the soldiers re-
sented they sought social amuse-
ments and diversions in the vile
dens and groggeries outside the
military reservations, which dens
Increased rapidly in number.
Many of the keepers of these
saloons near Military Posts are,
'of course, people Of the lowest
order and cater to every form of
vice dispensing the cheapest,
strongest and vilest Of drinks,
and resorting to every method to
induce soldiers to drink so long
as they have money to spend. AS
a result of all this, the soldiers
frequently remain absent and be-
come deserters. The Judge-Ad- |
vocate of the Department states
that a certain proprietors sales
of whiskey in a saloon near the
Presidio, San Francisco, increas-
ed in 1902 fourfold, being the
year after the passage Of the
anti-canteen law, and this in face
Of the fact that the number Of I
saloons near the Military Post had I
more than doubled during that /
year. This is one of thousands Of /
such Illustrations brought to my
notice of the distressing result Of |
the sale Of bad liquor in saloons 7
surrounding Army Posts since the
canteen in the army was abolish
ed. In one of the largest divi-
sions Of the army, inquiry was
made as to the ten chief causes
of desertion and the unanimous |
reports Of Commanding Officers
and First Sergeants of Batteries,
Troops and Companies, was that
the lack Of the canteen and the
resultant troubles in dives sur
rounding posts, was one of the
chief causes of desertion in the
army. Since the year 1897 the
incrasee Of trials by General
Court Martial was from 64 per
LOCO men to II, and by Inferior
Court Martial from SIT per /, 900
men to 716 per 1, 900 men. Though

cate Of the canteen in the army
