Extensive improvements.

We learn from E. F. Shindle,
manager of the Navajo Ice Co. s
plant in this city, that the COM
pany contemplate spending near
ly $50, 900 in making improve
ments and enlarging the capacity
of their plant, commencing work
as soon as the material is on the
ground. The present storage
house which has only a capacity
of 5000 tons will be torn down,
and two new brick storage
houses of brick of 5000 tons
capacity each will be erected, and
fully equipped with all the latest
ice elevating machinery. A new
icing dock will be constructed,
and be extended to nearly twice
the length of the present one.
These improvements are made
necessary from the growing inn
portance of Winslow as an icing
station for the Santa Fe, and the
increasing demands from outside
points for the particular brand
of Winslow ice. The plant as it
stands to-day is the largest in
Arizona, and when the proposed
improvements are completed
the capacity of the plant will be
nearly as great as all the other
ice plants in Arizona combined.
The people of Winslow little
realize the Importance of the
ice plant to the industrial inter-
ests of the city, with it's payroll
exceeding $4,000 a month: nor
the volume of business is does
supplying numerous out i d e
towns as far west as Ashfork
and east to Gallup. In the sum-
mer months this plant also has
to furnish ice to Phoenix during
the melon season for icing cars.
1t is to meet this demand that
the capacity of the plant will be
increased to $500 tons month,
and modern up-to-date facilities
for handling are to be installed.

"Grandmother" Santa Fe.

Last Tuesday morning when
No. 2 reached Ashford a lady
left her little baby in the Pull
man while she went to the Har-
vey house to get a lunch. To
her dismay when she returned
the train had pulled out, and
nearly distracted she went to the
agent with her troubles. The
wires leading TO the superintend-
ent's office here got busy, and
the agent was instructed to put
the lady on No. A that was due
out of Ashfork two hours later,
and Conductor E. 7. Tanning on
No. 2 was notified that Rule O236
made it his duty to be ex-officio
nurse maid to the baby that had
lost its mother. Train No. 2 ar
rived here with Tanning on the
job entertaining the baby with
lullabys, and it was held here
two hours awaiting the arrival
of No. A, when the lady was put
back on her train with the baby.
Grandmother Santa Fe had done
her duty. Hereafter all candi-
dates for positions as passenger
conductors will have to pass ex-
aminations as nurse maids, and
learn to sing lullabys. The San
ia Fe service must be kept eff
cient.

Breen on Sheriff Newman.

From the Coconino SUI.
Sheriff R. L. Newman, the
young man of Navajo county
who has made the laws mean
what they said as far as lawyers
and judges would construe them,
was in Flagstaff Tuesday visit
ing old friends, aside from a
small matter of criminal business.
Lee has been resident of
northern Arizona since 1877, the
greater portion of which time he
spent in Coconino and Navajo
counties in the sheep and cattle
business. He is again in the
race for sheriff in our neighbor-
ing county and has many friends
over here, both republican and
democratic, who are willing to
testify to his sturdy character
and ability to deliver the goods,
no matter how hard the PROPOSE
tion he may be up against.
In Navajo county he has at
tanned the reputation of enforc-
ing the laws just as they are
written so far as he is concerned
letting them nit or hurt as they
would, claiming that was what
he was elected for, and not to
say what should or should not
have been the law.

Republican Day.

Yesterday was republican day
for Winslow, and activities COM
menced at 6 a. m. when a COM
mite of ladies met Mrs. Thos.
Campbell on her arrival in the
city, and closed at II p. m. when
Mr.. Thos. Campbell closed his
speech at the Electric theatre.
The ladies of our city had an
afternoon reception planned for
Mr.. and Mrs. Campbell, and the
other candidates in the party,
but the speaking dates of Mr..
Campbell conficted somewhat,
so he did the best he could under
the circumstances by dividing his
party, sending Doane Merrill,
Henry L. Eads, and George
Smalley to join Mrs. Campbell in
the reception. while John L.
Gust, H. E. Matthews and him
self made the trip to Apache
county. The reception started
at 2 p. m. and from that hour
until 4::30 p. m. the Maccabee
hall was humming with the.
voices of the ladies, extending
welcome to Mrs. Campbell and
catechising the candidates on
matters in which they were in
terested. Punch and waters
were served during the after
noon.
Mr.. Campbell and his party
reached the city at $50 p. m.
for the evening meeting, which
was scheduled for the Electric
theatre at 8 p. m. At that hour
a good audience of interested
people were assembled, and for
three hours they gave strict and
undivided attention to the sew
eral speakers. Henry L. Eads,
who wants to defeat Carl Hay
en-, was the first speaker, and
confined most of his remarks to
the Mexican troubles, devoting
some time in his opening remarks
to the question of government aid
in reclaiming the arid lands.
Following Mr.. Eads, in brief re-
marks dealing with the duties of
the several offices to which they
aspire, came Doane Merrill, candi-
date for auditor; H. E. Mathews,
candidate for superintendent of
public instruction; Geo. Smalley,
candidate for tax commissioner;
and John L. Gust, candidate for
encouragement.
It was clearly evident the
crowd were anxious to see an
hear Mr.. Campbell, who is op-
posed to Gov. Hunt. He was
given an enthusiastic reception
when he arose to speak, and for
nearly an hour held the undivid-
ed attention of his hearers. He
reviewed all the labor bills that
had been passed in Arizona since
our statehood, and demonstrated
from Hunts official papers that
not one of them was given. a
word Of encouragement prior to
their passage or a mede of praise
afterward. Then he took up the
matter of the extravaganza of
the democratic administration in
the matter of employees in the
several departments, proving by
the records from the auditors
office that the monthly salary
claims amount to over $42,0
per month, which was more than
was allowed in territorial days by
the government to run the terri
tory for year.
1t was a good republican day,
and the result will show when
the returns are counted.

PROTECT AMERICA FIRST

The commercial dangers to which
this country will be exposed when the
European war ends are obvious
Americans must be prepared to de-
fend their foreign trade and their
domestic markets against an assault
necessitated by the impoverished
condition Of their rivals, to whom this
country will offer the immediate OPP
portunity for rehabilitation. The 1t.
tack win be directed by the most in
telligent merchants, backed by gov
ernments whose necessities will COM
pei % cooperation unknown among
U.S.
: In defense of American interests
our government may, II it chooses,
utilize q number Of weapons. The tar
III may be adjusted to the actual con-
ditions obtained in the world, and
not to theories sprung from Utopian
aspirations. The constructive and
defensive effects Of its schedules may
be supplemented by legislation re-
strictive to degree the practise Of
dumping" and unfair competition
generally. These resources might
easily be combined to afford protec-
ton to American industry and Amer
lean commerce so effective that the
nation could escape the more disaster
Gus consequences Of the raids that
will be made upon its prosperity.
The situation far transcends parti-
sanship. 1t concerns neither Repub-
leans nor Democrats in their theor-
etical differences. It is Of immediate,
vital and national concern.

Both houses of Congress have pass
ed what amounts to qualified votes
Of confidence in the Presidents for
eign policy. They have tabled resolu-
tons warning Americans, to keep of
armed vessels of belligerent nations.
They have done we'll. Our nation, as
Senator Lodge so bly, pointed out, can
not take a position which would vir-
tually express approval of the sink
ing without warning of vessels armed
for defense only.
But what Congress has refused to
do is Just what unofficially all good
Americans should now proceed to do.
They should advise each other, and
insist upon the advice, not to travel
on vessels so armed while the present
controversy is on. War is insanity.
The nations now at war have passed
the point of cool and deliberate think
ing. None of them are conducting
warfare according to intentional law,
unless according to the rules of polite
society. 1t is no five o'clock tea in
which Europe is engaged, but whole
sale homicide. The government of
the United States is refusing, and
very properly, to take stand which
infringes the rights of neutral citi-
xens, including those of this country.
But what this government does not
do by law intelligent citizens should
do as a matter of good sense and rea-
sonable patriotism. No citizen just
now has right to expose himself to
danger which may involve his govern
ment in war. Wherefore, let the
President stand his ground, and let
Congress stand by him; but let Ameri-
ca.s keep off armed ships.
