Miss Moss Dies in San Diego

Last Sunday Miss Pauline
 Woods received a message stating that Miss Dee M. Moss had died that morning in San Diego, where she haC been seeking health for se- veral months.
 The announcement of Miss Moss death was not uneX- pected by her friends here, who were 'conversant with her frail physical condition.
 The message to Mis- S Woods stated that funeral and burial would be in East land, Texas, the old home of the Moss family.
 Last fall when campaign ing for reelection to the of flee of county recorder, Miss Moss contracted a severe cold; this cold took a firm hold on her lungs and from it she never recovered.
 Miss Moss was serving her second term as recorder of Navajo county. Her splen- did record during her first term assured her election to a second term, only six months of which had elapsed at the time of her death. Her friends here and at Winslow, and elsewhere in the county, are legion, and the news of her death has cast a gloom over the com munity.
 Miss Pauline Woods, who has been deputy recorder for more than a year, has been appointed recorder by the board of supervisors. Her appointment, while temporary, will probably be permanent by t h e board at it's next regular meeting.

Railroad Mdgndtes Here

Tuesday morning there arrived in Holbrook A. B. McGaffey, of Los Angeles, and two companions. The party of men did not regis ter at any hotel, but secured an automobile and left town at once, ostensibly for a fish ing trip in the White noun tains. The presence of these men in Holbrook was known only to Judge D. J. Thomas, cashier of the Merchants 6 Stockgrowers bank, and one or two others. While their trip to the southern part of the county may include some fishing, it undoubtedly had as its principal object an in spection of the route of the new railroad, of which MT. McGaffey is the principal person in interest.
 A survey for this road has been in progress for nearly a month, and early this week the engineers had reached Showlow. This survey, the News understands, runs on the east side of the automo- bile road. Other routes sur veyed are west of the auto- mobile road.
 It seems to be the belief of persons who are in a posi- tion to know that before many weeks elapse, active construction on the railroad will start.

 Taken altogether, the town IS a much more desirable place in which to live than it was before it was incorporated. The scar city of ownerless CUTS, and the absence of stock from the streets, is worth all it costs.

Car Load of OUerldnds AriUes Wednesday w. w. Franklin, local agent for the Overland automobiles, received a car load of these popular cars. Several of the cars had been contracted for before the shipment was received and the balance are expected to be sold in a short time.
 MT. Franklin states that Overland is proving to be an exceptionally fine car for this country. It is well built, has a splendid engine which developes plenty of power for any kind of road, and the car is large, roomy and com fortable riding.
 This is the third car load shipment, MT. Franklin has received since he took the agency for the Overland a few months ago, which speaks well both for the popularity of the car and the hustling ability of the agent.
