Two Great Speeches Wasted

Secretary of State Osborn has
returned from the northern part
of the territory a sader and wiser
man. He realized that he was
not intended as a Elks Lodge of
Sorrow orator in the year 1912,
but he is comforted in his sorrow
by the fact that he has company
in no less distinguished parsonage
than the Rev. j. w. Atwood, bis
hop of Arizona, who suffered the
same fate as did the popular sec
retary. These two gentlemen left
Phoenix on Saturday night one
bound for Flagstaff and the other
for Winslow, both having with
them splendid orations on the
cardinal virtues of the Elks who
have gone before, and both of

have been reliably informed
that there are approximately 500
children in Winslow who attend
the High School and Grammar

Although the taxpayers of Win

of money to pay the various ex-
penses of the Winslow Schools,

long before the schools opened,
only few wheelbarrows full of
coal were provided up to the pre-

| have learned that the schools
of Winslow have been closed
on two different occasions
during the past two weeks owing
TO the wretched condition of
facilities for warming the build
ings.
The action of the school board
in not providing fuel until the
dead of winter reminds me of
the man in the story who, when
asked why he did not put a roof
on his house, stated that when
the weather was bad he could
not do it, and when it nice was it
was not needed.

ditions could exist outside of

Fishing Party Caught in Storm
Find Great Sport Twenty Miles Out
in the Ocean But are Forced to
Run to Shelter from Rain
and Wind Storm

Bringing back twenty-eight
big deep sea fish, weighing up to
SO pounds and averaging about
80 pounds each, Judge Chas.
Finn, VIM. F. Sinclair, Don Ben
nett and Earl Whitley, returned
early Sunday afternoon from a
fishing trip to banks off Point
Iona, driven into port by a
Southwestern that sent the waves
wishing over their small fishing
launch and made the leeWard
side of Point Iona q very accept
able haven.
But they had had some fishing,
fishing that must make every de-
ciple of Isaac Walton green with
envy. Out on the banks before
the storm drove them in they had
found the denizens of the deep
more plentiful than they had even
dreamed.
AS Judge Finn remarked it
was such fishing as he would
have had made to order. Albicore,
Spanish mackeral, bass and tuna
could be seen in the deep waters
about the boat like minnow in a
shallow. Monsters of the finny
tribe would leap from the water
after bait thrown overheard.
Each line would receive strike
almost as soon as it hit the water
and the fish put up a game strug-
gle, making the sport especially
keen. The wind blew a stiff gale
and the ocean became danger
ously rough, finally it started to
rain and by eleven o'clock they
were forced to turn and run for
the harbor, but by that time they
had q showing of fish in the hold
that would have been good for an
ordinary full days sport.
!, Though taking home a goodly
supply of fish to feed upon, the
genial proprietor of Hotel Sin
cliar made amends to Pisces by
generously feeding the fish he
left behind, while the Judge
though moved by the same gen
erous impulse could not be induc-
ed to divulge. Whitley and Ben
nett are reported to have had
their sealegs in good shape in
spite of the unusual roughness of
the ocean.
Friends and neighbors were
supplied with fish and join in
wishing them equally good luck
on another trip. National City
Cal News.
Judge Finn mentioned in the
above article is one of Winslow's
old time citizens and no doubt
the above mentioned fishing trip
reminds the Judge of some of
his trips at our famous Clear
Creek.

them anxious to show how we'll
they can rise to such occasions.
The train on which they were
riding flew the track about eight
teen miles south of Ash Fork and
the two Elks con soled each other
all day with out being able to dis
gorge the eloquence. They re-
turned to Phoenix as soon as
possible and are now awaiting to
hear from their appointments.

IMPRESSIVE SERVICES
AT OPERA HOUSE

Inc dflnud1 IucIllOIldl oCIVlCSs
were conducted by Winslow
Lodge 536 B. 7. O. Elks in the
Winslow opera house on Sunday,
Dec. 1st at 3. pm.
The stage was prettily decor
ated with purple and white bunt-
ing covered with smilax and
evergreen, with white chrysan-
themums placed at intervals
against the green background.
The stage setting represented
a lodge room with the officers of
the lodge in their proper stations.
At the close of the opening ex-
ercises by the lodge the hall was
darkened and while a quartette
sang Rock of Ages" portiers at
the rear of the stage were with
drawn, disclosing tableau rep
resenting q cross among the
oceaii' waves with a maiden
clingiffg thereto. This part was
represented by Miss Cora Cres-
well, who deserves unlimited
praise for the manner in which
she presented this difficult fea-
ture. As the name of each de-
ceased brother was called the
third time by the secretary of
the lodge a light was shown upon
the cross.
Again the hall was in total
darkness and the stage setting
was changed by substituting a
background Of the American flag
with emblems of the order.
After the invocation by Rev.
Carl M. Ross, Mrs. Guy Edward
Cornelius sang "Oh Divine Re-
deemer. =
As the eulogist of the day
Brother Sidney P. Osborn, of
Phoenix Lodge No. 335 B. P. 0.
e, was unable to be present,
much disappointment would have
been felt had not Miss Van Ian
iagham, an accomplished reader,
niece Of Mrs Jos. F. Woods, of
Holbrook, kindly volunteered to
recite 'Thanatopsis'' by VIM.
Cullen Bryant, which was pre-
santed in manner in accordance
with. this impressive ceremony.
After a solo Resignation" by
Caro- Roma, was sung by Brother
Arthur C. Smith the closing
exercises were conducted by the
lodge.
Following the closing exercises
a duet Hope Beyond, by Z.
A. White, was rendered by
Brothers c. J. Spellmire and A.
G.. Smith.
The program was concluded by
the benediction, by Rev. j. A.
White.
The effectiveness of the musi-
cal numbers was greatly in
creased by the services of Miss
Nan Brown pianist, and Mr..
Goldie Carol, violinist.

from the Phoenix Republican,
explains the reason for the non
appearance of Mr.. Sidney P.

SCHOOL NOTES

On Friday Nov. 20, the season
for the Winslow Basket Ball
League opened at the Front St.
Opera House. A fair sized crowd
was present and manifested great
enthusiasm over the close games.
High School and City lined up
for the first game. Lloyd Parke
of the H. S. team had the honor
of caging the first field goalof the
season. The School started the
game by quickly running up s
points, but the City quickly re-
covered and was leading at the
end of the game. Score 80 to 16.
Vincent and Hebert starred for
the City, while Drumm and Parke
did the best playing for H. S.
The contest scheduled between
the II. S. Reds captained by
Ella Dadey and the H. S. Blacks
captained by Grace Butner re-
suited in victory for the Black S
by a score of 10 to9..
When the Ice Plant, Santa Fe
game was called. the Santa Fe
was short two men, and H. S.
and City each loaned the services
of one man. The Indians quickly
showed their superior team work
over this patched up aggregation
and the game ended in a shower
of baskets from the big forwards.
Score IS to 10.
Remember three games every
Friday night, prices 25 and 35c.

Much trouble has been expert
enced during the past few days
in the North. Grammar and Higf |
Schools, due to lack of coal ano |
inability to obtain more. AS the
fre-boxes in both buildings were
designed for hard coal consump-
ton, the use of soft coal has |
rendered them of but little value. !
Men have been working however f.
for the past few nights trying to |
remedy these conditions and i'm
mediate relief is hoped for. A |
committee composed=of Div. Eng.
E. E. Ball, Master Mechanic, NJ |

Proctor went over the plants /
Wednesday and reported that the
plants were perfectly safe, also
made certain recommendations tt
the Board of Trustees that were
Immediately adopted. An expert
enced fireman on the regular LISTS
to be employed at once, to dc
but keep these two build
ings properly heated. The health
of $50 children and the teachers
demands that this step be taken
The fues were also thoroughly |
cleaned and extension draught
stacks erected on both buildings
Holes were also cut in the stacks
in order to facilitate the proper
cleansing Of the stacks. It is |
hoped by all that no more inter
ruptions Of the school year will
be experienced, as to date the H.
S., building has lost two halt |
days and the North Grammar one
full and two half days as result
of the buildings being so cold.
We will say in order to offset the
circulated opinion as to the safe
ty of these plants that they are
of the hot water heating type
and not steam heaters, and that
no time is there steam in either
the boiler or radiators as the en-
tire circulations system is COM
pletely filled with hot water, and
as consequence there is no room
for steam to generate.
The new H. S. piano arrived
last. week and is greatly appreci-
ated by all.

on Work Return

Following the personal appeal of Ma
than Goldsmith to the striking trunk
makers of L. Goldsmith & Son, the
men are vitng this afternoon in Aurora
Hall, As William street, as to whether
they will return to work.
Goldsmith appeared at the strikers
meeting and said that the firm was
willing to take all the trunkmakers
back.
"Come over in body" he suggested,
and hold a meeting by yourselves, ap-
point and instruct your shop committee
and let it confer with US in regard to
your grievances. We will deal With
our own men, but not with outsiders.
Personally, l think that we are pay
ing as high wages as any factory IN
the neighborhood. If your committee
can show us that any other places are
paying more, we will meet their scale.
And If we can't agree. you can all walk
out again"
Charles Steinwald. president of the
Trunkmakers' Local No and vice
president of the International Union,
who presided at the meeting, said the
mon would discuss the proposition and
vote upon it.
In the meantime the strikers

Still in Hills

HILLSVILLE, Va April S.-For two
days the outside world has received no
direct Information concerning the
movements of the detective force on
the trail of Sidna Allen and Wesley
Edwards along the North Carolina bor-
der. 1t is supposed that the searchers
are still beating the mountain brush in
the Fancy Gap neighborhood, confident
of finally coming upon the outlaws.
Everybody here is much interested
in the report that a kinsman of the
fugitives has offered to betray them for
a reward. Those directing the search
refuse to admit that any success has
attended their efforts to buy the se-
cret but a well-defined story is in
circulation to the effect that a mem
bep of the Allen clan has agreed to tell
the hiding place of his relatives for
$1,000 and promise of protection from
publicity.

The disaffected millhands, facing de-

peace the attitude of all the striking
millhands is changing to one of bitter
