NelO Railroad Starts in October

The News has reliable infor- nation to the effect that construc- tion on the McGaffey railroad will be started in October. Mir. McGaffey spent last week in this county, and arranged some of the preliminary details of the commencement of tn e work. The final survey will be complet- ed some time next month, setting the grade stakes will be finished at the same time, and shortly afterwards the real work of building the road will be com menced.

track of the new railroad.


 HoIbrook will remain on the
 main line of the Santa Fe rail
 road after the new railroad is
 built. And the big wholesale
 and retail establishments now
 here will remain here, and grow
 bigger. They may establish ad- ditional branch stores in smaller
 towns up the country, but their main plants will still be in Hol- brook. Instead of shipping mer- chandise to'the up country towns by auto trucks and wagons, they will ship it by railroad.
 Moreover, the county seat will remain in Holbrook, notwith- standing the perennial efforts of residents of Winslow to move it to that towu. With good roads leading to the town, the big gest and best mercantile esta- blishments inthe county. at least one new industry railroad tie treating plant that will employ 200 men, placed here because of the construction of the new road-how can any sane person imagine that the construction of the road will be detrimental to Holbrook?
 Yes, but the poor freighters; what is to become of them? shrieks the editor of the Mail. Just this. They will all seek a different occupation, and an oc- cupation that will pay them better. Probably 95 per cent of them will engage in farming along the line of the new rail road and will not only better themselves, but will add greatly to the productiveness of the county. Their teams of horses and mules will be used to pull the blow and culti- vator, the moving machine and binder; in such work, and in hauling the crops of their owners to the various shipping points along the railroad, they will find a restful change from the work of dragging heavily loaded wa gons over long stretches of rutted roads.
 The wide experience the editor of the Mail claims to have had in his profession should have taught him that the poorest way on earth to boost your own town is to knock your neighboring towns. To attempt to build up your own town by tearing down your neighboring town can ac- complish nothing. It only dis plays to the world the encharita- bIe disposition of the person who does it and in many cases acts as a boomer ang upon that person.
 The development of Navajo | county that will rapidly follow the completion of the new ralI- road will benefit every section of | the county. We rejoice that such will be the case; we are glad that Snowflake, Taylor and | other towns to the south of us will be benefited. The conditions that cause those towns to grow and prosper will cause Holbrook to prosperand grow. There will be enough of the good things for all of us.
