STREET WORK
ESTIMATION

The Town Council,
Winslow, Ariz. Nov. 18th 1918
Gentlemen,
Complying with your instruc-
tlons have made a survey of
the proposed extensions to Sec
ond and Aspinwall streets, and
am handing you herewith a
profile of the Second Street ex-
tension with a grade line shown
thereon in red.
The distance along Second
Street from Warren Avenue to a
point just north of the Santa Fe
property and directly opposite
the New Round House is 5000
feet, and it is $50 feet further t9
the County Road. The Total ex-
caNation necessary to grade the
street to the grade line | have
shown IS 1920 cubic yards, and
embankment $3.50 cubic yards.
Figuring the excavation as 50
per cent solid rock and 20 per
cent loose rock at a price per
cubic yard of 80 cents and 40 cts.
respectively, would make 3456
cubic yo..cd.s at 80 S2764. 80
864 cubic yards at 40 1880
The embankment $3.50 Gu. yds.
less the 1920 Gu. yds. of excava-
tion which can be dumped in the
banks without extra cost leaves
44l0 GU. yds. at 20 $8S7.00.
Provision should be made for
a bridge or culvclt at the wash
leading from the Ice Plant, SIS.
Total cost Excavation, $31l0.40
" Embankment $500
Bridge Qr-cplpert, 75.0G
Estimated Total cost
for Second Street, $406G. 40
Beginning at the same point,
at Warren Avenue and Second
St. it is 1910 feet north to Aspin-
wall ST., thence along Aspinwall
St., 1903 feet to an intersection
with the County Road, and it is
1923 feet further to the point at
the end of the Second Street ex-
tension, total length 63i1 feet.
The excavation necessary to
grade Aspinwall Street is 2100
cubic yards Solid Rock at 80
$4,000 900 cubic yards Loose
Rock at 40 $4,000
The Embankment required IS
1890 Gu. yds. less the excavation
used in banks, 5000 Gu. yds.
leaves.
1900 cubic yards at 20 $4,000
Bridge or culvert $500.
Estimated total cost for Aspin-
wall St., $2595.00.
1t is possible that this work
could be let for slightly better
prices than l have used in the
making up of this estimate, but
this is a good average cost.
The contract should be let at
SO much per yard and the ex-
cavation classified during, con
whether solid rock loose
rock or earth, and it is possible
that it may turn out better than
80 per cent solid rock, which
would materially s'educe the cost.
Yours respectfully,

MASS MEETING.

(For some reason the following
article on the mass meeting held
Wednesday Nov. 19 appeared in
our last issue as though it had
been loaded into a shot gun and
fired at the paper. These mis-
takes were not due to errors in
the copy Mr.. ConWell handed in
but to the fact that the article
was set up by a novice at type
setting, and to its being run
without first being proofed.)
A Mass Meeting of the bust
ness men of WinsloW was held
in the Elks Bldg. on Wednesday
evening Nov. 10 for the purpose
of organizing a Commercial Club.
On motion Mr.. ]. F. Mohoney
was made temporary Chairman
and E, P. ConWell was named
for temporary Secretary.
After Chairman Mahoney in
a few we'll chosen words had
stated the object of the meeting
Mr.. Tehan was called upon and
made a stirring address on
the merits of a Commercial Club.
He was followed by Hon. J. H.
Tuolouse, Editor of the South
West Trade Of Albuquerque who
made an eloquent address on the
splendid achievements of Com
mercial Clubs elsewhere and urg-
ing the citizens of WinsloW to
organize and keep abreast of the
times.
Attorney A. Y. Moore express
ed himself as pleased with any
movement tending to boost Win
slow, dwelling at length on the
limitless possibilities of the City
and surrounding country, after
which Mr.. KIeindents made a /
spirited address urging unity
and admonishing everyone to lay
aside pretty jealousies and all
work for a bigger and better
Winslow.
Mr.. A. NJ, McOmie of Tucson
then took the floor and made an
interesting and instructive ad-
dress on farming and experiment
tai work and closed by saying
that organizing Commercial
Club is the proper step for Win
slow to take. After interesting
talks by Editor Floyd Hampton
of the Winslow Mail DR. Sampson

ano instructed to draft a consti-
tuition and bylawsand recommend
permanent officers to be elected
at the next meeting to be held
on Friday evening Nov. 28th.
Taken altogether the meeting

THE new
BRIGHT LIGHTS

our good people ever see a more
beautiful sight, than when set
against the evening sky, the
great buildings of the Santa Fe
shops and roundhouse ablaze
with hundreds of electric lights.
It's sight to behold and a
sight our citizens ought to be
proud of. But there is that Hill
right in front of the $500, coo
railroad enterprise and nothing
but the glamour of the roohights
show their brilliancy.
Why not move that Hill and
set the big buildings free? The
City Of Winslow is a Railroad
Town, and will be much more so,
because big railroad companies
do not spend their money hap
hazard, its calculation for the
future which prompt them to
spend a half million dollars on a
proposition like our new shops
and roundhouse, and they have
their eye on Winslow and are 60
ing to do things here. These
shops and roundhouse should be
the pride Of our citizens. Any
other town of 10 times the size
Of WinsloW, would have herald
ed the building of these new
shops with blair Of trumpets and
never cease letting their news
papers and the public boost of
the selection Of their city.
WinsloW has not said much;
has taken it more as matter of
fact, and yet, had the railroad
company moved the shops and
other improvements to any other
nearby town, there would have
been much lamenting, and right
ly so, because Winslow is rail-
road town.
Let us move the Hill in front
of West End ST., and open up a
good street, connecting the town
with the shops and roundhouse,
SO the men who are employed by
the railroad can come from and
90 to their work easily and COM
fortably.
The Santa Fe railroad will help
build the street. The railroad
company will do more; they will
give US their surveyor to run the
proper grades, give us cinders
for the street, and all the oil left
in the old tanks when moved.
Now let's get together and make
a necessary and profitable i'm
provement. We spent $4,000
for the Pioneer Celebration,
mostly all by public subscription.
4 celebration which lasted three
days and what did it profit the
town? 1t was and is gone! The
opening of the street, means
more homes, more new homes
means more people, more people
means more business, more busi-
ness means more revsnue for the
city and that's what we all are
after making our pretty town
bigger, better and buster.
The Santa Fe shops and round
house are outside of the city
limits. When a street is built to
it and houses for that beautiful
highway, we can annex that por-
tion into the city and derive our
revenue for the city by taxation
from the great investment the
Railroad company has made here
in Winslow.
Let's move that Hill out of
west End street and point with
pride to the big bright handsome
Shops. Most of our revenues
here in town come from the rail
rad people. They are our wage
euners, our staunchest support;
without them WinsloW would be
sad disappointment. Let's
make it easy for the railroad men
to go and come from their work
let's keep their business here in
town and show them we have

ALLAH'S HUNDREDTH NAME.

Only the Camel Knows II; Hence the
Sheer on Its Face.
The 900 widows Of the mosque OF
Sultan Selim remind one of the ninety
nine names Of Allah. These ninety.
niue names. the Arabs say. are written
In the palms OF the hands of all true
believers. The explanation is inter
esting. and even an unbelieyer can
test It.
The Arabic mineral Is written like
an inverted V Of the English alpha
bet. BY holding up your left hand, with
the thumb and fingers bent slightly
inward the lines of the palms will be
seen TO take the form of a rough Al.
which makes the Arabic figures 81.

There ought really to be 100. but the
hundredth is lost to every creature

Why does the camel wear such su-
perciious expression? The heavy pen
dulous under lip and the snarling curl
of the upper give an expression Of
sneering contempt which can hardly
be equaled In the brute creation.
No wonder. The camel alone knows
the hundredth name of Allah. and he
won't tell it.-Manchester Guardian.

The Way They Manage to Reach Their

Fuel In Holland.
1t was not until 1883, when Poetsch
invented the freezing method" that
Hollands coal fields became of any
practical value
Where coal is encountered immedi-
ately under the solid rock there is a
stratum of drift sand that contains
great quantities of water This con-

On the spot where the shaft is to be
dug from twenty-five TO thirty borings
are made down through the drift sand
to the solid rock in a circle FIVE feet
larger In diameter than the projected

bore holes and through these is circu-
lated by powerful freezing machines a

And young Spooner was late;
And she nervously tapped with her feet
Her nerves were a-thrill
And she couldn't sit still
But kept rising to look down the street
She would rush to her room
For touch of perfume
Or to straighten a lock gone awry;
Or she'd pick up a book,
Give a cursory book;
Then back to the porch she would fly.

consider the Dew.

The question is often asked, Does the
dew rise or fall? Dewfall is as admis-
sible an expression as sunrise or sun
set. In both cases the expression is at
variance with scientific fact Meteoro.
logically, the formation Of dew is not
accompanied by motion in the vertical
plane, hence there can be no question
of rise or fall Under certain condi-
lions of wind. cloud and temperature
variants dew is produced. Warm air
charged with moisture comes in con-
tact with cooler surface. When in
this contact the heat Is subtracted from
the air and the saturation point for
that temperature is reached, the mois-
ture. which in the air has existed as
water vapor. Is condensed upon the
cooler surface at the point of contact.
