BUILDING
ACTIVITIES
Department Store Ruilelino to
Be Finished This
Summer
Regardless of the Fact That
Winslow Has Experienced a
Dull Season, New Build
ings Are Being Con-
tinuously Added
FUTURE LOOKS PROMISING

Recent building activities in
Winslow, the number of con-
tracts let and buildings complet-
ed, show that, regardless of the
numerous cuts in the Santa Fe
force and other conditions that
tend to cause a slackness of bust
ness generally, the city is fore-
ing ahead at a rapid pace.
Chas, Daze has completed the
eXcavating work for the cellar
under the department store
building that will soon be erect
ed for Geo. Hubbard on the lots
west of the Mail office. This
will be modern brick building
and when completed one Of the
most up-to-date department store
buildings in the northern part of
the state. Active work of con-
struction will commence as soon
as the cement and other mater
ials can be placed on the ground.
The contract calls for the COM
pletion of the buildingin August.
In the Mahoney addition five
new residences have recently
been completed and contracts
are let for two more, the con-
struction of which will be com
menced the first of the week.
The sale of lots in this addition
has been rapid and the future
looks very promising.
There are active preparations
going on in the Kliendlenst ad-
dition for the construction of a
warehouse, and in the near flu
ture a modern hotel will be
erected. This is in addition to
numerous residences and a ware
house that was recently flushed,
and contracts for residences let
a. the present time to be built in
the future.
Contractor A. B. McClimans,
in addition to buildings recently
finished, is at work on two mod
ern residences, one for Attorney
A. Y. Moore, which will be fin
ished within the next three
weeks, and the other for H. M.
Vaughan, which will be com
pleted this week ready for occu-
$ pancy. In addition to this, he is
making active preparations for
the installation of modern brick,
making machinery in his brick
yard. The plant will be com.
pletely remodeled at an estimat-
ed cost Of $250O, and within &c
days will be turning out pressed
brick and doing work equal tC
the work turned out by any
brick-making plant in the state
Contractor J. E. Dunn, who re
Gently erected a modern dwelling
for Professor Cornelius at a cost
of $2500; the Episcopal parson
age (S2200), and a modern resi-
dence for E. R. Thornton cost
ing $4,000, is at present erecting
two buildings for himself at al
estimated cost of S2500 each
These and other buildings thai
have been erected recently by
contractors and private parties
are indications that convince one
that Winslow has very active
season to look forward to.

WHY NOT HAVE A WELL
EQUIPPED FIRE DE-
PARTMENT?
Should We Wait Until the Loss
Of Life and Property Is Ap-
palling, or Should We
Prepare on the Side
Of Safety?

AS a matter of safety, both
from a financial standpoint as
well as from that of personal
safety we should have a fire de-
partment in Winslow equipped
! with semi-modern tools and ap-
pliances, at least. The time is
ripe when steps should be taken
regarding this matter.
At the present time, when the
boys of the volunteer fire de
partment are called out they
meet at the place of action
promptly, and are willing to do
all in their power to control the
flames, even if it necessitates
the loss or damaging of a $50 or
$40 suit of clothes, which, no
doubt, is quite often the case, to
say nothing Of the hazardous
risks they are quite often called
upon to take on account Of not
having the proper tools and
equipment at hand with which
to efficiently carry on their work.
1t often happens, as was the
case at recent fire, that some
one has to be sent to the neigh
bors to borrow an ak and ladder,
while in the meantime the flames
were making rapid headway, en-
dangering the whole neighbor-
hood, if not the entire town.
There are towns, plenty Of
them, with but half the popula-
| ton of Winslow, that have chem
ical engines, hook and ladder
equipment, axes, buckets, etc,
and all the accessories that go to
make up the necessary equip
ment with which to fight fires.
But in Winslow the boys have
nothing but one piece Of hose,
not even helmets and rubber
coats to protect themselves from
personal injury and exposure.
Winslow is large enough to sup
port a chemical engine and other
necessary equipment for fighting
fires, and from a financial stand
point alone the saving at one fire
might more than double the eX-
penditure. Why continue with
a makeshift and deserve the
censure and ridicule of other
communities? Logic and common
sense demand that we should
protect ourselves.
The sounding of a fire-bell, re-
gardless for what purpose it is
/ sounded, is always a signal Of
alarm and one that fills many
with terror, besides there is no
particular use in sounding the
bell except when there is actual
danger, and it seems entirely un-
necessary that any signal should
be given in order to have the
boys meet for practice, as a spe-
cial time could be set beforehand
for such purposes. 1t is impera-
tive, also, that proper attention
should be given to the rewinding
of the hose after use as a dan
gerous delay is often caused from
carrying the wrong end to the
fire.

WILL HAVE HOUSECLEANING.
Governor Elect Phillip Takes a Rap
at Undesirable Products of
Wisconsin Idea"

Governor-Elect Emanuel /. Phil
lip has ideas of his own as to how
the governmental departments of
Wisconsin should be run, and at a
meeting of the Wisconsin Club at
Chicago made the following re-
marks during an address:
There is going to be house
cleaning of a radical nature, said
Mr.. Phillip. Some people ir
Wisconsin really have ideas, and
one of them was the enactment of
a primary election law in 1900. 1t
was supposed to be a panacea for
all ills, to place the government
closer to the people. 1t has failed
of its purpose, and has sent the
government farther away from the
people.
We have lots of laws in Wis
consin. No phase of human life
exists but what is regulated by
some law Our expenses have
grown some 400 per cent during
the last fourteen years, and our
taxes are unbearable. All this is
a result of the Wisconsin idea
and elective system. l defy any
man in Wisconsin to define to what
| party he belongs
" Another Wisconsin idea is the
Mary Ann, or second choice, law
which allows a political machine tc
put up two or more opposition
candidates and procure the nomi-
nation of a minority candidate.
propose to change this system, re
peal that law if possible and place
our elective system on a good Amer
lean plan which will let the people
be responsible for elective officer,
as the constitution intends. "

Look to North Wisconsin

1t is conceded that employment
is essential to the agricultural de
velopment of the country a chance
to work out a part of the time for
the maintenance of the family while
getting established on the farm.
This fact was brought out strongly
at a conference between the irri-
CATION officials and immigration
agents of the western railroads.
There it was stated that the move
ment to the west was practically
at a standstill for the reason that
the price of the land, 500 to $500
per acre and $50 to 500 additional
for water and the absence of en-
ployment combined to make it al
most impossible for the homeseeker
to get established Says Director
Newell of the irrigation bureau:
While il is unfortunate that the
government should already have
expended nearly 500, ,OOO,O 900 in
irrigation works with others under
construction that will call for an
other 500, 600, 600 while unable to
get people to 50 upon one-third of
the lands for which water is now
ready, it is fortunate that we have
in Wisconsin many acres Of unset
teled agricultural lands, where the
newcomer can make living and
repay the amount agreed upon
for the reason that the land costs
about one tenth the price in the
west, and there is 10 water to buy,
and for the additional reason that
there is outside employment at all
times.
In the upper Wisconsin counties
there is never a day in the year in
which the settler can not find EN-
ployment and usually within walk
ing distance from his house his
family and no fuel nor garden pro
ducts to buy and with the income
that comes from one or two COWS,
or more and a flock of hen, his ap-
parently modest wages are really
larger than the city man who has
to pay house rent and buy all he
and his family needs, and too fre-
quently encounter strike or lock-
out.
The public is finding out the
true situation and that is the rea-
son that inquiry for Wisconsin
lands is Increasing so rapidly

Buying Red Cross seals is more
than charity, it is wisdom. It is
more than obligation, it is great
opportunity.
The great white plague-tuber-
culosis-takes about 2 $500 lives in
Wisconsin every year. 1t is pre-
ventable; why not prevent it.
You can help by buying the Red
Cross Christmas seals. if you can
not invest dollar you can invest
dimes and nickels and pennies.
Every seal adds a special message
to the Christmas spirit conveyed
by all Christmas parcels and all
letters.
Your money is crystallized into
health, education which strives for
general knowledge of health prob
lens, improved working conditions,
improved living conditions, better
school buildings, medical inspec-
ton in schools, child welfare, in
vestigation of vital problems, health
legislation, better health depart
ments and adequate care for COM
sumptives, This is the work of
the Wisconsin Anti-TubercuIosis
I association, which is entirely f.
nanced by the sale of the Red Cross
seals.
You should have one or more
\ seals on every bit of mail matter
sent out from now on. VIII you
do your share?
Few people realize the breadth
and scope of the work of the Red
( Cross societies. Sellers of Christ
mas seals find many persons who
object to using Red Cross seals on
holiday letters and gifts because
the little red cross seems to suggest
sickness and death. The primary
object of this great international
society is succor and help for the
sick and injured and the seal is a
most appropriate emblem for the
season of good will toward men. "
In the United States, especially,
I the Red Cross societies lend aid in
time of public calamity and care
for the injured and unfortunate
Locally, the society allows so per
cent of the sale of Christmas seals
to the Public Welfare Association,
+ 40 per cent to Anti-Tuberculosis
association of Wisconsin.
With the coming winter the need
F becomes more imperative and every
thinking man or woman should
lend his or her aid the less fortun-
ate. Every seal affixed to your
letters shows that you have given
at least one cent toward a good
cause. Invest your pennies.
