~Blue-Sky Law Enforcement,

Two mining companies at Pres
colt have been fined for offering
stock for sale without first filing
an application for a permit with
the corporation commission.
Why they should have neglected
to file the application is a
mystery, further than to save a
few dollars filing fees that has
to be paid to the commission, as
the record of the commission
shows that anybody or anything
can get a permit to sell stock or
issue bonds whether they have
any security back of it or not.
Look at the deal on the Winslow
Gas Company, where the promo
ters got a permit to issue $50, 900
in bonds and $25, 900 in stock
without a dollar of tangible pro-
perty in sight. Belts is Quail
fed" is the secretary for the
commission, and is now the dem
ocratic candidate for commits
sioner, and he expects the peo-
pie of Winslow to vote for him.
If he gets a single vote in Wins
low he is getting one more than
he deserves. The commission is
simply interested in making stock
companies come through with
the fees, and are not interested
in protecting the public.

Good VIII Toward Men.

There is stronger bond of
friendship to-day than ever in
our country's history. 1t is
evidenced by a better standard
of home life; bigger and better
purposes in the individual, and a
higher plane of commercial ac-
tivity.

dence is essential. Confidence
comes from sincerity of service
and honesty of purpose. Our

that we make our interests the
interests of our community, its

redounded to our credit and has
given incentive for greater ser.
wee.
This bank is worthy of your
fullest confidence. Make it your

Resigns Pastorate.

Last Sunday evening Rev.
Fred S. Carter preached his
farewell sermon and resigned
his pastcrate of the Church of
Christ, and temporarily at least
has embraced the sentiment of
back to the soil," as he and
Mrs. Carter have moved out to
the Tatum ranch. Mr.. Carter
rendered his resignation several
weeks ago, but the members of
his congregation urged him so
strongly to reconsider that he
finally decided to try to keep in
the work, but it was soon ap-
parent if he expected to regain
his health it would be necessary
for him to retire. We have not
learned what arrangement the
church has made to fill Mr.. Car
ter's place, but they will be for
tunate indeed if they can get a
man his equal.
Winslow has been most for
tunate in having a fine bunch of
ministers in all the churches,
good fellows that act like real
human beings in everything
secular and religious for the
benefit of the city. Chummy
fellows they are, so much so that
the editor always hides his office
pipe when he sees one coming
for fear he might want to borrow
it. We regret to lose Mr.. Carter
out of the list, but as a farmer
he will still be a part of Winslow
with his smile and good-fellow-
ship.

Society News.

OOSACty ANCWS.
Mrs. Hickey was the charm
ing hostess at a hallow' cen party
last Monday afternoon. The
house was decorated in hallow'-
cen devices and a merry time
was had by all. The usual game
OF whist was enjoyed before the
delicious luncheon was served.
The lull which has enveloped
the younger set for the past few
weeks was broken last Monday
night when Miss Teresa Monroe
entertained them at one of the
cleverest halloween parties of
the season. Ghosts were in evi-
dence every place and the only
lights were jack-o'lanterms and
the light of the fire place. The
spell was broken when the lights
were turned on and lively
game of five hundred ensued.
At later hour the spirits again
returned and served an appetiz-
ing luncheon. On their depart
ure the guests were each given
lighted jack-o' 'lantetn with
which to find their way home.
Miss Gertrude Hackley was
the hostess last Friday night at
one of the delightfully."- numerous
hallow 'een functions given this
week. The grammar school
teachers were her guests and
the first hour of the evening was
spent in studying playground
work. After that the guests
participated in games and ghost
stories. A lovely luncheon was
served before the departure of
the guests.
An invitation to the Parr home
has always promised an enjoya-
ble afternoon, and in this respect
the members OF the Friday club
were not disappointed. Last
Friday Mrs. Parr graciously
welcomed them to her fireside,
where over busy needles they
whiled away several pleasant
hours. At the close of the af-
ternoon a most tasty two course
luncheon was served. Fall flow
ers added their beauty to the
table, and brightly tinted autumn
leaves served as place cards.
The guests included Mesdames
s. T. Roach, Sam Folsom, Louis
Krentz, and j. Krentz, the latter
being presented with a dainty
gift the work of the hostess.
The members of the Methodist
church had a clever halloween
party at the V. C. Proctor home
last Friday evening. Hallow'-
cen stunts were performed and
appropriate refreshments were
served. Several outside guests
were invited and all reported a
wonderful time.

Silver Jubilee Celebration.

Twenty-Five years ago in a
cathedral at Cork, Ireland, a
STRIPPING boy hardly out of his
teens was consecrated a priest,
and Immediately he was started
outon a mission to Egypt, where
for fifteen long years his life and
service was given as a missionary
to his church. Then he was
transferred to Mexico, and in
that wild usettled country he
labored in the mission field for
three years until his health paid
for his faithfulness and loyalty
to the Masters cause. Seven
years ago he was sent to the
United States to recuperate, and
for two years officiated in the
mission work in the east, and
then he was called to Arizona
where he is now the beloved
priest of St. Joseph's church in
Arizona.
Last Monday was Father
Marks silver jubilee, and at 8
a. m. he sang the solemn high
mass assisted by the deacon,
subdeacon and assistant priest
of the parish, to a congregation
that filled the church. Rev.
Father Kunkel, O. F. M, of
Gallup, delivered splendid ap-
propriate address, and St.
Joseph's choir, with Mrs. J.
Donahue at the organ, rendered
Rosewig's mass most effectively.
Visiting priests present to do
honor to Father Marx were Rev.
Fathers Glrard, formerly vicar
general of Tucson, but now re-
tired at Prescott, Vabre, pastor
at Flagstaff, Albony, pastor at
Williams-Kingman, Kunkel, pas
tor at Gallup, Rembert, O. F. M,
also of Gallup, and Rev. ]. Moot
man, assistant to Father Vabre
at Flagstaff.
At the conclusion of the service
the visiting priests were royalty
entertained at the parish house
with a sumptuous dinner, and
again at 6 p. m. magnificent
luncheon was spread before the
guests. The afternoon was
given over to an auto ride about
the country through the courtesy
of G. j. Spellmire.
AS a slight token of the esteem
in which Father Marx is held by
his people he was presented a
silver offering by the congrega-
ton, the Franciscan Fathers at
Gallup presented him a set of
beautiful altar robes, and his
cousin, Sister Helen of Conving-
ton, also sent him a set of altar
robes. 1t was grand day for
Father Marx, and the manifesta-
tion of so much love from his
congregation and his brother
priests warmed his heart and
gave him new courage to go for
ward in his work.
Father Marx is rapidly recov-
ering from his second serious
operation within a year, but it
will be several months before he
will be restored to his old time
vigor and strength.

c. E. Owens for Supervisor.

The people of Winslow are all
personally acquainted with V. c..
Proctor, one of the republican
candidates for supervisor, who
for years has had charge of the
bridges and buildings for the
Santa Fe railroad. This ex-
perience peculiarly fits him for
the position of supervisor for
this county at a time when bridge
building and road construction is
an important element of the
county business. Any words by
this paper in his praise would be
only idle repetition of a fact we'll
known to our citizens.
Mr.. Proctor's running mate on
the ticket is Mr.. Clarence Owens,
of Snowflake, who from the
nature of his business as a cat
tleman, is not personally known
to but few of our people. Mr..
Owens came to Navajo county in
1880 when boy, and began his
business career driving a scraper
team when the Santa Fe grade
was being built. He suffered all
the hardskips and privations of
the early pioneer days, but he
had the grit to stick it out. He
soon saw the opportunities in the
sheep business and got together
a little band of his own, and for
many years was fockmaster and
herder all in one. About a year
ago he closed out his sheep in
terests and engaged in the cattle
business, buying a ranch about
thirty miles southeast of Wins
low. Mr. Owens is a man of
clean character, and enjoys re-
putation for sterling honesty and
integrity. He is the friend of
Winslow, and as one of our su-
pervisors this city will be assur-
ed fair and impartial treatment
at his hands, something it has
not had during the past two
years. Every voter in Winslow
who has the interests of this city
at heart should vote for Mr..
Owens and for Mr.. Proctor, as
with these two men on the board
of supervisors Winslow will get
some benefits from half the coun-
ty taxes she contributes every
year for the county government.
Just remember that in the past
ten years less than $4,000 has
been spent in WinsloW precinct
out of half a million dollars that
has been raised by taxation.

disappointed when E. S. Clark
wired DR.. Sampson Wednesday
that he could not keep his speak
ing date here that evening, when
he was expected to address the
people in favor of the proposed
prohibition amendment.
Mrs. McMillin stopped in Win
slow Tuesday and spent a few
hours with her daughter Miss
May McMillin. She was accom-
panied back to California by Miss
Alice McMillin, who has been
spending several days in this
city.
N. S. Bly, is in from his ranch
for a few days so he will be on
hand to vote for democratic
president next Tuesday, but
when he hears the returns we
are fearful he will hide away out
on the ranch until spring so his
friend Dagg can't find him.
Among those who went to
Gallup Tuesday to attend the
commercial club dance were Mr..
and Mrs. R. C. Kaufman, Mr..
and Mrs. R. G. Bazell and Miss
M'dell Shipley.
DIR. Atkinson, district superin-
tendent, presided at a most
interesting quarterly conference
at the Methodist church last
Tuesday evening. Reports from

dition.
Mr.. Frank Brown received 6
telegram early last week that an
operation was to be performed
on his mother in a hospital at
Kansas City, and he started i'm
mediately for that city to be pre-
sent at her bedside. His mother
is seventy-two years old, and has
been an invalid for several years,
and he entertains great fears
that she will lack the vital force
to withstand the operation.
D. L. Bundy, of Holbrook, has
resigned his position with Julius
Wetzler and gone into the con-
tracing and engineering bust
ness with M. 7. Henderson. Mr..
Bundy was for four years en-
ployed in the state engineering
department of Colorado and is a
competent photographer and en-
gineer. His Winslow friends
wish him success in his new en-
terprise.
Mr.. John T. Hungerford, one
of the oldest residents of Wins

In the mill of the latter company the ore in practically all the crushing is kept dry till the pulp goes to the con centrator tables, the gyratory crusher being followed by rolls. When com pleted, the pant will handle between 5000 and 10000 tons of ore per day. The pilot plant of the Alaska-Juneau has been in successful operation for nearly year, and the plans are being drawn for a new 5000 ton mill. The mines of both the Alaska-Gastineau and the Alaska-Juneau companies have been developed to yield the ne cessary tonnage, and several proper ties under development in the same district promise to show similar large ore bodies"
 Probably the most interesting and important part of hiSAreport, so far as Alaskans are concerned is the sec tion relating to recommendation and the needs of Alaska. It reads:
 "The following recommendations are offered for the improvement of the mining industry:

 "(2) That a mine experiment sta tion be established in Alaska under the provisions of the act passed at the last session of congress.

WHY \ BOMB |S LIKE MOST
 WOMEN

LONDON. Feb. %. - "A bomb is like a woman you can never tell what it is going to do next" writes an Irish officer from the British front in Flanders. He has been en- gagged for several weeks in experi- menting with bombs and various new fangled bomb throwing devices.
 "The more one has to do with bombs. the more afraid one becomes of them" he continues, "for one can not play with explosive all day with out going aloft some time, and the toll of good men who have been blown to pieces by their own bombs is both. long and sad
 Bomb throwing as an art is still in it's infancy. changing almost from day to day and what state of develop ment or perfection it will have reached before the end of the war cannot be guessed. At the best, it is a fiendish way of fighting, for it's in juries are ever of the ghastliest.
 Yet bombing, like most other as poets of the war, has it's humorous side, and I have seen a whole trench helpless with laughter at the sight of two men running opposite ways to avoid a sausage bomb they had spot ted sailing over from a German trench mortar They collided, and sat down facing each other like vaude- vile comedians. The bomb dropped in the middle, almost touching them both. and then completely failed to explode
 One morning twenty or more mem bers of the general staff came around to our trench to witness a test of a new catapult arrangement for throw ing bombs to the considerable dis tance of 250 yards. with great m terest they watched the screwing down of the great arm. and the plac- ing and securing of the bomb in posi- tion. Then upwards and forwards swung the arm. but the missile, in stead of hurting in the direction of the enemy, rose gently few feet in the air, not having been properly se- cured, and then prepared to descend again to earth. Such a rapid and complete self-effacement of staff of ficers had never before been seen; they fled like rabbits, and as they rounded the corner of the trench, the bomb went off few feet from the ground, completely destroying the new catapult"

MINING REPORT OF INSPECTOR SMITH

Sumner S. Smith, federal mine in- spector for the territory of Alaska, recently made his annual report, in which he tells of the districts visited by him, what he found, the activities in the mining industry during the year, the legislation enacted by the territorial government, the progress made, and the needs of the north. Re garding his work, he says:
 "The federal inspector visited the Fairbanks, Manley Hot Springs, Ru- by, Iditarod, Nome, Willow Creek (Susitna drainage), Seward, Valdez, Copper River, Juneau and Ketchikan districts. Over 200 properties have been visited. and more than 300 in- spections made.
 Approximately 5000 men are em- ployed in and about the mines of the territory, about 35 per cent in placer mining, 10 per cent in quarries and dredges, and 55 per cent in lode min ing Blank forms for reporting acci- dents have been distributed to the operators, and whenever possible in vestigations have been made prompt ly. Approximately 50 men have been given first aid training. and half that number have been trained in the use of breathing apparatus at the Tread well mine, and a start has been made in similar work at the Perseverance mine"
 Under the heading, Progress of Mining" MT. Smith says:
 "Discoveries of rich ground on the Tolovana river have stimulated pros pecting for gold placers, and the high price of copper has turned the attention of the miner to the copper deposits of the coast. The Gold Bull lion Mining Company had it's new cy- anide plant in the Willow creek dis trict, at the head of Cook inlet, in sue cessful operation all the open season, and new plants have been started for the Appollo mine at Unga, and the Alaska Free Gold mine, in the Willow creek district. new gold dredge
