That negotiations for the pur-
chase of the Overland Telephone
and Telegraph companies plant
by the Mountain States company
have been completed is evidenced
by the filing of petition this
morning with the Corporation
Commission. The petition was
filed by the officers of the Over
land company and is accompau-
led by a copy of the contract
entered into by the two par
to the transaction.
The petition points -

the two parties, the stockholders
and creditors as well, will realizt

WINSLOWITES
HAVE GOOD time

About as big a crowd of our
citizens as have ever taken in a
celebration at a distant city left
for Flagstaff Thursday morning
to take in the Fourth of Tulv
celebration in that CITY. 1t is
estimated that at least 800 peo-
pie left here Thursday morning
for the fun at the Sky City.
What interested the most of
our people was the Fire Depart
nlent Hose Cart race, between
the Winslow and the Flagstaff
Department for a purse of $3.50,
but we regret to say that by
some accident that happened to
one man during the race, who
fell and hurt himself badly, they
failed to make the proper con-
nection and lost the race to
Flagstaff. The boys during
their practice here in town have
been making a good deal better
time than the made in the race.
even with their heavy cart, but
they could not make the con-
t1ections at the water plug some.
how, during the race.
The Winslow baseball team
seemed to be a little more in
luck winning from the. Flagstaff
team by a score of 6 to 4 in a
good swift game, The specta-
tors say that is was one of the
best games that has been played
I.y these teams this. season.
Among those who were seen
in the crowd on their way to
Flagstaff were:
Mr.. and Mrs. ;. N. Christie,
Flesher, Chas. Calm and fami-

Chas. Evans, c. c. Braden and

NATIONAL FOREST
CHANGES MADE

PRESIDENT Iaft has just MADE
considerable changes in National
Forests in Montana, Arizona,
Nevada, Utah and California
through Presidential proclamati-
ons modifying the boundary
lines. BY these changes nearly
275,OOO acres of land are ellmin-
ated from the forests, about 65,
900 acress are added, and about
$4,000 acres are transferred be-
tween two Forests, while a new
Forest is created by the division
of an old unit into two.
The net results to bring down
the total gross area OF the Nati-
onal Forests to about 187, 400.
900 acres, of which nearly 27,
100000 are in Alaska. To a
considerable ex tent, however, the
reductions, so far as land &C tn
ally owned by the Government
is concerned, are apparent rath-
er than real, owing to heavy
alterations in the tracts elimina-
ted. Some 22,OOO,0OO acres of
the National Forest gross area
are not owned by the Govern
ment.
The high water mark of the
total National Forest gross area
was reached in 1909, when the
Forest boundaries included over
E194, 100000 acres. 1t was then
realized however. that in making
the examinations on which the
Presidential proclamations Great
ing the Forests were based the
work had been too rapid to in
sure In all cases the best bound
aries. Sometimes land which
should have been included was
left out, while at other times
land was taken in which was
not suited to Forest purposes.
Consequently complete over.
hauling and rectification of the
Forest boundaries was planned,
and has been going on ever since.
BY successive proclamatiors
President TAFT has eliminated
nearly 100000 acres, while
he has added about 100000
acres.
In Montana the new ,procla.
nations eliminate a total of 116,
$40 acres from six Forests-the
Custer, Absaroka, Blackfeet,
Kootenai, Lewis and Clark, and
tlathead, while 1860 acres
are transferred from the Black
feet to the Kootenai and 4O,64O
from the Kootenai to the Black
feet to facilitate administration.
In Arizona 1O6,54O acres are
eliminated from the Coronado
National Forests. In Nevada
49, $40 acres are eliminated from
the Humboldt and So, $40 acres
added, of which $500 acres are
are included in the new Ruby
National Forest, composed prin-
cipally of that part of the old
Humboldt lying south OF the
Southern Pacific Railroad. In
Utah, 1910 acres are eliminated
from the Sewer. while in Califor-
MIA $3.50 acres are added to the
Shasta and 48O acres to the
klamath.
There are eliminated from the
Coronado National Forest in
Arizona embraces the entire Bah
oquivari Division, which consists
of a rough montain range con-
tanning very little woodland and
chiefly valuable for grazing. The
unapropriated lands lying with
IN the elimination will be thrown
open to settlement and entry at
the discretion of the Secretary of
the Interior, after due notice by
publication in the local papers.

DEPUTY SHERIFF
ship FOR WINSLOW

with the new State laws, that a
county of a certain size and po-
pulation was entitled to a GER
tain amount of deputy sherifs,
in order that the sheriff would
have some men to call in time OF
need and not necessitate him to
travel all over the ground all
himself and at the same time ex
pect him to be at a half a dozen
places at the same time. Acting
in accordance with this new law
our present Sheriff Jos. F. Woods
appointed two men, one in the
upper comfy and another here in
Winslow. We understand at
the time that Mr.. Woods made
this appointments that they
were meet with approval of the
County Board Of Supervisors.
This was about two months
ago. Nowcomes wcrd this week
thar Winslow can get along We
ry we'll without this deputy and
that the Board of Supervisors
will not stand for deputy sher-
iff in Winslow which they deem
a useless expense.
Well and good gentlemen.
This paper is not here for the
purpose of giving vent to its fee
lings against any particular
class or faction of men, but we
are here to express the feeling
for our community and OF our
people; the people. OF Winslow
and Navajo County.
Where in the country IN this or
any other state will you find a
city of 1000 inhabitants; yes
5000 inhabitants. without 4
deputy sheriff. Isit SO absolutely
necessary that Navajo county
must do just a little different
than any other county in the
country?
Our people as far as is known
in the history Of the county
never did intend to 'hog" things
for themselves, which they might
be able to do if they wished, but
generally went begging for all
they got from any Board of Sup
ervisors, never once grumbllng
when there were large sums of
money expended in other sec
tions of the country for improve,
ments. From good authority we
are aware that Winlow pays
about So percent OF the county
tax. What have we for it? We
have let other things pass along
as they may. which we can emu
merate in some future issue if
necessary, but it seems that
Winslow is always in tor the
slaughter whenever there is any
to be made. Why? Are we not
entitled to anything for our
money?
Now and then we hear, both
here in Winslow and also in The
upper country, that the people
of Navajo county never do pull
together for the good of the
county, etc. Why should they?
A few more tricks of that kind
and no doubt the people OF
Winslow will want to make
that county division rumor a
certainty.
Now, gentlemen it is just this
way. You have deputy in the
upper country where you haven't
as much use for one as we have
here in Winslow. You keep him,
but you have no use for our men.
Why?
There is a way to 60 about all
things. A petition is started tor
you to relnstate this man Or an
other in his place, and if not we
think we have laws under the
State administration that will
fit the case.

He Was In a Hurry.

Charles Monselet in his "Curiosites
L~itteraries" tells of a friend of his liv-
ing at Bordeaux who, glancing through
q Paris booksellers catalogue, saw the
title of a book which he had vainly
sought for thirty years. Looking at
the clock, he found there was just time
to catch the morning express for Par
Is. Stopping only to take some money
from his cash box, he dashed off to the
station and arrived at the bookshop
In time to cur the prize. As he
wrapped up the book the shopman re-
marked, II suppose you live in this
street, monsieur" "No; I have just
come from Bordeaux" was the reply.
The man looked a%stonished, and the
bibliophile discovered that in his eager
ness he had Travelled 800 miles in Dress
Ing gown and slippers and had never
noticed any deficiency of attire.

JACK JonHsen's WIFE
sUIclDED BY SHOOTING

Chicago. ILL.,. Sept. 12.-Mrs. Jack
johnson. wife of the worlds champion
heavyweight pueulist, who shot herself
through the head last night, died al
3 80 this morning. She died. not re-
gaining consciousness.
The facts that came U soon after
Mrs. johnson had shot herself showed
she had decided to commit suicide as
soon as her husband left the house for
down town.
She called Mrs. Veania Rhodes and
asked her to come to her at once.
that she had something important to
tell her. Mrs. Rhodes said she would
and prepared to start.
Then Mrs. johnson called her two
colored maids into her bed room and
told them she wanted them to join her
in prayer. With her arms about each of
them, Mrs. johnson knelt at the bed
side. The maids followed her example
and the three prayed together for sew
eral minutes.
As they arose. Mrs. johnson, pressing
her hands to her face said: God pity
a poor woman who is lonely" She
sent each of the maids into other rooms
on brands. and before either had time
to return. a shot rang out, and when
they came back they found Mrs. johnson
lying on the floor fatally wounded. She
was taken to a hospital. where she died
at half past three.
On a recent trip to Las Vegas. where
Johnson fought Jim Flynn. Mrs. john
son is said to have remarked to friends
that everyone stunned her because she
had married a negro and that she was
unhappy. Mrs. johnson was 81 years
old, and a daughter of Mrs. David
Terry. of Brooklyn, N. Y.
When she married Johnson she was
the divorced wife of Clarence Duryea, a
we'll known New York turfman.
Mrs. Johnson's act is attributed by
her husband to a nervous attack, n of
a series from which she had suffered for
years. Mrs. johnson was also said to
have shown symptoms of tuberculosis.
She was to have left for Las Vegas,
New Mexico last night, but decided to
abandon the trip.
Her husband and seven other persons,
mainly relatives of the pugilist were at
her bedside when she died. A Roman
Catholic priest administered the extreme

G. n. FILES MORE PLANS
TOUCH n, ". CORNER DUNN

The Great Northern Railroad Company
has just filed some more resolutions re-
garding the building of new lines in
this state. which corroborates what was
published in this paper last spring re-
garding the proposed line through Nc
kenzie county. -
1t is the intention of the company to
construct a line from New Rockford
west. through Wells. Sheridan, Mclean.
Dunn and Mckenzie counties. This
line will probably pass through Fessen-
den. and straight on to Fort Stevenson
on the Missouri river in Mclean coun-
tv. From Fort Stevenson the line will
extend to the Missouri river, crossing
that stream somewhere northwest of Ell
bowoods, where a convenient place can
be found for a bridge. 1t will then fol-
low closely the Little Missouri river
valley across the northwestern corner of
Dunn county and through Mckenzie
county to township 145-105. where it
will enter Montana.
A portion of the company's resolu-
ton referring to the road in Mckenzie
county is as follows:
Commencing at a point on the branch
line authorized by resolution of the
board of directors of this company pas
sed on June II, 1910. hereinbefore de-
scribed, at or near the village of Fair
view, in the county of Dawson. state of
Montana. 10 a point on the eastern
boundary of said state, thence easterly
in and through the county of McKen-
zie, state of North Dakota, to and
across the Yellowstone river, thence
easterly and so%utheasterly in and
through the county of Mckenzie. state
of North Dakota, by way of the valleys
of Charbonneau creek, Lonesome creek
and Cherry creek to a connection with
the branch or extension of this COM
pany's railway the construction which
was authorized by resolution of the d.
rectors of the company. passed on March
2. 1912, at or near the confluence of
Cherry creek with the Little Missouri
river, a dis lance of about one-half mile
in the state of Montana.
BY referring to the resolution it will
be seer that it is the intention to
leave the main line of the G. N.
between Mondak and Snowden, across
the Missouri. then follow it along the
south bank over into North Dakota for
a few miles and then back into..Montana
to Fairview. From Fairview it will
bear east, crossing the Yellowstone, fol-
lowing the valleys of Charbonneau,
Lonesome and Cherry creeks to the
confluence of Cherry creek with the Little
Missouri river, which would be in the
neighborhood Of Schafer in Mckenzie
county. or the northwest corner of Dunn
county. This is the point where the
cutoff from Mondak will join the New
Rockford Montana branch and will
make connection with the main line.
The new route will probably pass
through Schafer and Arnegard.
