TAKEN BACK
BY MRS.

The Navajo Hotel operated for
years by I. j. Hesser, which
came into possession Of X. w.
Perkins and A. H. Hansen by
court action last September 9th,
was yesterday redeemed by court
action and Mrs. Hesser is now in
possession of the property. Sher-
if Woods came here from Hol-

necessary court orders to close
the case and all the principals
concerned appeared in the local
abstract office to complete the
transaction. Attorney Jones of

new CANDI-
DATES ENTER
ING The
FIELD
OFFICE OF MARSHAL HOLDS
FIRST PLACE WHILE THAT
OF CITY CLERK RUNS A
CLOSE SECOND
THAT OF COUNCILMAN
NOT SO DESIRABLE

Several new names have been
added to the list of desirable Of
flee seekers during the past week
in addition to those mentioned in
last weeks issue.
For Marshal Chas. Harp and
Geo. Wrench are prospects; for
City Clerk, VIM. Daze, Jr., and
Geo. 0. Downs are gaming some
strength; while for Councilmen
which offices are not so desired,
owing, no doubt, to the fact that
they are non-salarled positions,
carry considerable responsibility
and cause no end of grief some
times, the following names, in
addition to Mayor LaPrade, are
suggested: w. F. Williams, A.
E. Gillard, M. L. Vaughan, Chas.
Daze, A. B. McClimans, C. E.
Stoddard and A. w. BreIsford.
Aside from the office of Mayor,
which it has been customary in
the past to give to the council
men receiving the highest num-
Der of votes the offices of council
man are most responsible and
difficult to fill. 1t rests with them
to voice the sentiments of the
community, and they should be
men Of known moral standing
and integrity and substantially
representative citizens. These
offices, or that of Mayor should
not be given to any who seek
them merely to gain prestige in
order to avoid their duties as
property owners. WinsloW has
plenty of men in addition to those
above mentioned, who can capab-
ly and honestly fill these offices
and who should feel it their duty
to declare themselves.

A SUGGESTION
One Of the Many Pc ,sibilti 5
OF Usefulness of the
Commercial Club

While improvements are being
agitated, why not give a little
attention to the sidewalks in our
city. Some of them are in a rot
ten condition even to the point
of being dangerous at night and
should have been repaired many
months ago. while at other points
where sidewalks are needed and
needed badly nothing whatever
has been done towards having
them put in. The sidewalk from
Rabbits S corner on First St.,
down to and including that in
front of Hesser's store and from
the Racket Store on Second ST.,
to the corner east of it is almost
if not quite beyond repair, while
nothing has ever been done to-
ward putting in a walk from the
northeast corner of Second ST.,
to Third Street. 1t seems as if
this matter should be given some
attention as it certainly is not a
credit to the town to neglect our
sidewalks entirely.

Vice-President Marshall BUYS
Land in Salt River
Valley

Lee Blglcy, representative of
the Arizona Securities and In
vestment Co., of Phoenix, ar
rived in town the first of the
week and has rooms at the Pal
ace. Mr.. Bigley. who comes
well recommended, is handling
small acre tracts adjoining the
townsite of Scottsdale, which is
located nine miles northeast of
Phoenix in one of the best agri-
cultural and horticultural dis
tricts in the Salt River Valley.
His proposition of selling land on
small payments should be one
that would appeal to the man
who wants to own a self SUP
porting home as we'll as to the
business man and others who re-
allze the lt-edge security of a
legitimate farm land investment.
Following is a copy of a letter
the company received from Vice
President Marshall regarding an
investment he recently made in
that section.

that | have not had, thus far,
time to find out whether it will
be possible for me to take an
other five acres Of land in the
Salt River Valley.
hope, without detriment to
your interests, that you can give
me a few days farther in this
matter; but | shall not complain
if you do not. AS you know, |
have been coming to Arizona for
the past five years, and it is no
new statement. because it has
been frequently made, that if |
were a young man and by any
possibility could get possession
of any portion of the Salt River
valley which is entitled to water
from the Roosevelt dam, | would
certainly avail myself of the OPP
portunity.
Life is lived, not upon mathe-
marical certainty, but upon prob
abilities. For more than four
years | have believed the Salt
River valley would become one
of the garden spots of the world.
| am glad to have had an oppor-
tunlty to secure five acres of it
and will hope that you can give
me time to secure another.
Very Respectfully Yours,

BASKET BALL TEAMS
MAKE GOOD SHOWING
Couldn't Take Prescotters Into
Camp, But Made Them
Earn Victories

The High School basket ball
teams returned from Prescott
Sunday evening on No. 10 and
they report having had one royal
good time. Friday evening they
were met at Prescott station by
the entire High School and were
taken to different homes in autos.
The evening was devoted to the
Elks Theatre and Shumates (un,
um).
Promptly at 1890 Saturday
cars called for the visitors and
they were given the joy-ride of
their life, which took in the
American Ranch and the sur
rounding country to Jerome
junction.
The girls game was called
promptly at 7:45 Saturday eve
ming, with the Winslow girls so
confident that it seemed impos-
sible that they would be beaten.
The score ran up to 5 to @ in ia
vor of Winslow, Prescott coming
up A points during the remainder
Of the first half. Through the
second half both teams ran up
the score until at the end of the
half the score stood IL to II with
a foul on Prescott. Winslow
threw (and we are sure the ball
had a jinx) and missed, so Pres
cott High School had the game
by one point, 13 to II.
The Winslow High School boys
certainly played splendid game,
but the Prescott boys had our
boys outclassed in Size; had our
boys been as large as the Pres
cott boys they would have had to
work for every basket they made.
After the game WinsloW was
given a dance at the Odd Fellows
hall and one of the most sumptu-
Gus banquets Of the season. Car
nations and ferns formed the
center-piece and place cardsswere
miniature basket balls. Taking
the trip as a whole, all had one
glorious good time, even if the
local players did get beaten, but
they have another chance next
year.
They're all right!
Who's all right?

With the fashions of 1880 coming

With the fashions of 1880 coming
back into style again, there may come
a time when the oldest inhabitant will
hold a crowd of men sIell-bound when
he tells them of the sights a man

believing that the oldest inhabitant is

tons in sewing, dressmaking, care

ton, home decoration, care of milk,
butter making, poultry culture, etc.
The course is free. Farm women are

men in hog cholera, livestock, soils

farm dairying and poultry culture.
This is an exceptionally fine oppor-
tunity for those residing in Brookings

A peculiar feature of the wheat
market is the fact that Durum wheat
sold above No. / Northern for several
months past. On the 10Th Of this
month No. l Durum closed at Mime
apolis at $1.37 per bushel, and No. /
Northern at $1.22k or AN cents over
No. l Bluestem. For two or three
years past Durum has sold at a much
higher relative figure than it did for a
period of several years prior. From
the American view there is no good
reason why Durum should sell above
No. / Northern. But the price of
the Durum is governed entirely by the
export demand. In some parts or
Europe Durum is much preferred to
the No. l Northern. The European
war has lasted so long now that their
production for 1915 s bound to be short
and eve if the war closed in a few
weeks there will be IN export demand
for our wheat next year. AS long as
that export demand continues, Durum
will be a good crop for the Northwest
ern farmer to raise.-De Smet indie
