OH! LISTEN TO

About eight months ago Mr..

of organizing a Boys Band, and

tanned and the most prom sing
of.our boys were lined up for A
band. After they had met for a
few times and the scale had been
taught them by Mr.. Proctor
(who has ben a lifelong booster
for boys it was found that
band teacher was needed to
make the band band.
Mr. Ellis Of Albuquerque, the
leading bandmaster of theSouth
west, was chosen, and after con-
siderable correspondence came to
WinslOw to look things over.
The prospects were so bright he
accepted the offer and has made
Winslow his temporary home

ject is to make the band the b st
ever in Arizona.
Monday night, Feb. 18th, they
will appear in their First Gran
Concert at the Winslow Opera

have been working On now for
the last twelve weeks. They are
assisted by the best local talent,
and those not in their seats on

That Band is hustling band

that the "a Band Boys wiil

pline, manly, and an aim in life
to march in the 'front.'" is the
motto of the Band.

SENATOR ASHURST
LEVEL HEADED Man

It is good to see men who pre-
serve a level head, act naturally
and recognize old friends in spite
of great success that comes to
them. This is occasioned by the
recent elected one of the United
States Senators from Arizona by
popular vote. In his day Ashurst
was a cowboy and deputy sheriff
Hard conditions in his early life
made it necessary for this man
to get out and hustle at any old
thing for awhile. While in
town he met two men, Stan
ley and Miller by name, who
were cowboys and deputy sheriffs
with him IN his earlier days. He
was more then glad to meet and
be With them, Notwithstanding
that they are having now some
rough financial times. Nothing
was to good for them at the Pa
lace, where he was a guest. These
men were notlooking for tavors,
simply $; wanting to see their
friend of former Arizona days.
They all had a good time for the
few days the new Senator was
in town. Ashurst wanted to
take them by to Arizona with
him, but they said no. They both
were about to get jobs here and
thought it best to remain.
"Well some day when you
want to come to see me in Wash.
ington, let me know" was his
parting word to his chums of
other days Oakland Tribune.

COMMISSION OF
NOTARIES ARE VOID

Arizona is to receive approx
mately $12,5OO in fees from an
unexpected source. About 5000
nOtarial commissions expired
when the territory became a
state.
The discovery that all notarlal
commissions became null and
void when Arizona entered the
union was made by Attorney
General George Purdy Bullard.
Former Governor Sloan was un-
der the impression that all com
missions were good until the
dates ofexpiration mentioned on
their faces. In fact, he issued two
commissions Tuesday. Those
two are no better than anv
others.
A notorial commission costs
$3.50. It is believed that most
OF the 5000 notaries in Arizona
will ask for re-appointment and
they will put about $12, 500 in
the treasury.

act after he became governor was

READING ROOM
SHOW COMING

The Craven Family Orchestral
Band and Quartette of Iowa will
perform at the Pastime Theatre
Tuesday Evening, Feb. goth.
The following is an announce
ment by Mr. Busser, Supt. of the
reading room shows:
| am sure | could not arrange
a more fascinating concert for
Santa Fe employees than this one
by the Craven Family.
One of our best musical critics
says of them: THE repertoire
of the Craven Family is as varied
as the greatest range of taste
requires, embracing the best
classic as we'll as the most tune
ful of the more modern selections,
and each number is presented
with a finish and an attractive
ness pleasing in extreme"
The following musical instru-
ments will be used in the con
certs; Two Violins, Four Cor
nets, One Trombone, Two Clari-
onets, One Piano, Drums, Traps,
Bells, etc. My only regret is
that | can not stop them at
every reading room on the Sys-
tenn.
1t will pay every employe to
strike them at his nearest point.

Rooms.
AS usual there will be no ad-

pect every one in Wiuslow to be at the

been placed SO low that all can attend
and anyone wishing free tickets eau
obtain them of the Band Boys.
That the Boys Band must be recoS-
nized as the most popular organization

fact that on Monday night both of the
popular Picture shows have voluntarily
agreed to give no show in order that
all m ~ attend this concert.

breathing the spirit Of "progres-

governor declared, must replace

for recall of judges, and all anti
