porary protection to pedestrians at

suits OF the work of the West Shore

Commission. has been the cause of
much favorable comment by business
men and residents of this borough
For some time council had been
the proposition for a new bridge over
the Cumberland Valley road, but
lately nothing has been heard OF this.
Businessmen heartily endorse the
stand of the Union and feel that Le-
moyne is greatly benefited by this
action, as is New Cumberland.

Small Crop of Plums.

So far under the administra-
tion Of Gov. Campbell the crop
of political plums has been limit
ed. Immediately after taking
his seat the Governor announced
tn at very few appointments
would be made until after the
contest over the seat had been
finally settled. But there were
a few vacancies that had to be
filled, and one of these was the
tax commissioner made vacant
by the elevation of Gov. Camp
bell. This place has gone to
Rudolph Kuchler, who has al
ready qualified and has been ac-
cepted by the other members Of
the commission.
Another happy appointment
that will meet universal approval
is the selection of Doane Merrill
as the citizen member of the
board of control. Mr.. Merrill is
we'll qualified both by education
and business experience to make
a valuable member of this board.
George Smalley, who was the
republican candidate for tax COM
missioner, has been appointed
state examiner, position former
ly held by Mr.. Johnson, the demo-
cratic treasurer-elect. Smalley
is a reformed newspaper man,
and an expert accountant, and
for these dual reasons should

New Ordinances Needed.

When the city councill passed
the resolution wiping out the
"red light" district, no ordi-
nance was passed preventing wo-
men from renting rooms and
plying their calling in other parts
of the city. If some such ordi-
nance is not passed by the city
council it would be better to re-
establish the old district. From
the preliminary testimony taken
by County Attorney Larson last
week in the tragedy that has
brought the city into unenviable
notoriety, it was clearly evident
that number of women have
been maintaining rooms of ques-
tionable character. There is no
state law preventing the opera.
tion of houses of prostitution,
and if the city makes no provi-
sion to put them out of business
we can expect to have them
scattered all over the town.
There is no use complaining
about police officers not doing
their duty if the city council does
not pass laws under which the
officers will have authority to
work.

Want Some of Forest Reserve

A petition is in circulation ad-
dress to the Arizona represen-
tatives in Congress asking them
to take some action with the
Interior Department in regard
ing to setting back the east line
of the Coconino Forest Reserve.
According to the petition there
are several hundred sections now
in the Reserve that has no value
whatever as forest, the timber
being only small cedars that will
never develope into any mer-
chantable stumpage, but if
thrown open to settlement will
make homes for several hundred
people under the homestead act.
There is altogether too much
land in Arizona withdrawn from
settlement, and where there is a
body of land that can be profta-
bly, utilized for farming, and has
no real value as forest, the De.
partment should set it out and
throw it open to settlers. The
government has overdone the
forest reserve business in this
state, taking in large bodies of
land that do not have five dollars
worth of timber to the quarter
section, but would be worth
hundreds Of dollars to the state
if given over to actual settlers.
The land in question is similar
in soil and general conditions to
other lands adjoining that yearly
produce big yields of potatoes
and other farm crops. One crop
of potatoes on one acre of this
land is worth more than all the
timber and rental revenue the
government could get in ten
years on a section, and it is GER
tainly an injustice to tie up val
liable lands such as these in a
forest reserve for grazing pur-
poses only. If the government
will take her clutches off of Ari-
zona, and give the people a
chance to develope her resources
it will make greater advance
ment.

evening, Feb. 18th. Our people

the fact that these meetings are

standing room has been at a

tionably interesting, as the Pres
ident. Mrs. Murphy, has enlisted
J. H. Monk, the new pastor of
the Christian church, to make
an address on Attendance, "
and then the topic will be open
to general discussion. Another
interesting subject will be the
address by Prof. Porter, athletic
director, on "Athletics in the
High School," being a reply to a
recent address by Prof. Moore.
Mrs. Waite has arranged a fine
program, including solo
by Miss Conners, and songs by
a quartet. AS usual, one of the
interesting features will be the
refreshments served in the
domestic science department.

Death of Harvey Powell.

The news of the death of Har-
vey Powell was received last Sat
urday with sadness by the many
friends who have known him 50
long and intimately. He was al
ways a man of quiet pleasing ad-
dress, whose mind was well drill
ed In that greatest of Christian
virtues charity, and no one ev-
er appealed to him and went
empty handed away. When an
old man dies who can say his was
a life free from error; and when
a young man passes away who
is there knows but if he had been
spared the world would have been
richer that he lived. Many of our
Christian people could have learn
ed from him of the beauties of
open-handed charity that knew
no cast nor condition. If every
beneficiary of his purse could
have been permitted to drop a
rose at his bier the casket con-
tanning his mortal remains would
have been buried in fragrant ex-
otics whose sweet perfume would
be a benediction to his soul at
rest.
Mr.. Powell was a member of
the Elks, and the funeral was
conducted Tuesday afternoon
from the Elks' lodge the full
ritualistic ceremony of the order
being used impressively. Rev.
]. M. White, of St. Paurs,
delivered the sermon, and beau
tiful music was rendered by
Messrs. Smith and McGregor,
accompanied by Mrs. Brayman
at the piano, Mrs. Shipley on the
violin and Mrs. M'dell Welch on
the cello. The casket was cover
ed with flowers and handsome
floral emblems from friends and
Elks' lodges.
Mr.. Powell was born in Ovens
vile, Ind, June 10, 1883, and
shortly afterWard moved with
his parents to New Mexico,
where was educated in the schools
of Albuquerque. His mother
died when he was six years old,
depriving him of that maternal
affection which exerts such a
strong power in the develope-
ment of youth. With his faith
er, brothers and sister he come to
Winslow sixteen years ago, and
this city has been his home ever
since. He leaves to mourn their
loss a father, his brother Robt.

Officers Make a Raid.

Last Saturday afternoon Depu-
ty Sheriff Ed. Gardner sWore out
a search warrant in Judge Samp-
sons court, and with this author
ity went to the home of Mrs.
Peters where he made haul of
four or five gallons of whisky
and two barrels of beer. Mr..
Gardner got his lead on this place
by a report that an individual
came in the evening previous
from Gallup with a mysterious
suit case and a trunk. The trunk
was delivered to the Peters home,
and the man with the suit case
also went to the same place.
No arrests have been make as
yet, but it is expected several will
follow shortly as a result of
the raid. This is the third time
within year this house has
been raided as a boot-legging
joint, and Mrs. Peters is now out
on probation from a sentence of
one year in the penitentiary pro-
nounced upon her by Judge Sapp
in the superior court.
