USING UP REDWOOD
Supply In the United States Will 30
Gone In q Century.

Constantly increasing production Of
redwood lumber In Humboldt county,
California, means that In less than q
century the only commercial redwood
forest In the world will be stripped
bare, according to compilations made
by George A. Kellogg. secretary Of the
Humboldt chamber Of commerce. In
1895 1t was estimated that the stand.
ing redwood timber In the county
would be sufficient for 200 years, but
since that time the capacity Of the
mills has been more than doubled,
with prospects for q continuous In
crease In the future.
Out of 53S, 900 acres Of redwood tim.
Der standing untouched before lum.
bering operations were begun In the
country. $4,000 acres have been cut
over. This cut represents some Of the
best timber of the county. for the bot.
tom lands along the rivers where the
best timber stands have been harvest
ed first.
Redwood lumber thus far produced
from the forests Of the country has
represented a value of $160,817,2S7 and
has totaled 0.800.9o6.52o board feeG

No Special Privileges.

The streets of Winslow are the
common property of all the peo-
pie, the ladies as we'll as men,
and the ladies do not have to get
off the sidewalks or dodge a
corner to avoid meeting or pass
ing a drunken man, or to avoid
having their ears shocked with
loud and profane language. In
this day of our civilization a man
is supposed to be gentleman
enough not to use obscene or
profane language on the streets
to the discomfort and embarrass-
ment of passing ladies, and a
drunken man loses any right he
has to use the streets whatever.
His place is in an alley or hog
pen out of sight of decent re-
spectacle people.

War Activities at Home.

The state council of defense in
circular just issued make the
following very sensible sugges-
tions to the people at home in
regard to sending money and ar
ticles to soldiers in France:
It's easy and safe to send
money orders to the boys in
France, if you know the army
unit to which the payee belongs
the regiment and company. No
town need be given on the regu-
lar domestic order the postoffice
clerk will give you. Payments
are made in French money.
Keep sending the home papers
to the boys at the front. Papers
are welcomed and are given safe
carriage.
Don't send "dainties" to the
front. Such things generally
don't carry we'll and are to be
bought even more cheaply in
France. Candy, for instance, is
to be had from the Y. M. C. A.
at about American prices. Better
not cumber the mails with bulky
parcels. Better send a money
order and let the lad buy what
he needs. Remember he has all
the food that is good for him,
and that it is good food.
Best of all, send him all the
good news it is possible to find
and cram in your letters. He
has trouble enough in front of
him without having gloom over
whelm him from the rear.

The fourth Liberty loan will be
offered to the people some time
in early October, and Arizona's
proportion of the amount will be
$8, 600, 600. We give our readers
THIS advance notice so they can
commence making preparations
to DO their full duty. We sug-
gest. however, to the Mr.. Nc
Chung, state chairman of the
Liberty Loan committee, that he
see to it that Winslow is not
given another raw deal on the
apportionment when it is made
for Navajo county, even if it is
necessary to appoint a new chair
man to direct the sale. Putting
over so per cent of the amount
on Winslow, and giving all the
honor stars to other sections of
the county is hardly what can be
called square deal. This city
raised $106, 1900 of the Third
Liberty loan and has no stars on
the honor flag in the state house,
while Holbrook raising $4,000
gets two stars. The loyalty and
patriotism of this community
does not have to be boosted with
stars, but if stars are being
passed around let the passer give
this town a square deal.

To the Public.

Having bought the cleaning
and pressing shop of Mr.. Nels
Erickson. we wish to invite the
public, especially the ladies, to
give us a trial at their old suits.
Between the hours of / pm. and
4:30 p. m. we will call for and
deliver any article you desile to
have renovated. We will have
our fall and winter samples in
within a few days, and it will
please us to have you call and
look them over. When you have
a suit to clean and press call us
on the phone and we will do the
rest. Phone 64.

Additional Locals.

Attorney Greer, of Holbrook,
was in the city yesterday getting
acquainted with our citizens.
Mrs. A. 0. Daniels. of Gallup.
was in the city a couple of days,
visiting at the home of her
mother, Mrs. j. A. Greaves.
Mrs. W. j. Hennessey and L.
d. Sandefur. of the Adamana Oil
Co. of Holbrook. were in the city
several days this week interest
ing some of our. people in pur-
chasing stock in their enterprise.
Miss Pauline Woods has an
nounced her candidacy for re-
election to the position of county
recorder, a place she has filed
most acceptably since the death
of Miss Dee Moss. Miss Pauline
needs no introduction to WinsIow
people, as here she was born and
raised.
The cantaloupe season is on in
the Salt River valley, and the
local ice plant is working over
time making and shipping ice to
that territory for the refrigerator
cars. There is a big crop of
melons this year. and it is esti-
mated that more than 1900 car
loads will be shipped during the
season.
The first issue of the Holbrook
Tribune was given to the public
last week. 1t is a very neat edi-
tion and marks the owners as
experienced craftsmen. The
editors offer as an excuse for
their new paper the fine pros
poets for an early oil boom in
the Holbrook field, and the con-
sequent growth and development
of the city and surrounding coun-
try, land we trust their hopes
will be fully realized.
Gov. Geo. D. Meiklejohn, who
is interested in the Holbrook oil
fields. returned to that place
yesterday after spending a week
in this city visiting the many
friends he has made since first
coming into the county. Mr..
Meiklejohn is very enthusiastic
over the prospects Of finding oil
in this county, and the company
with which he is associated ex-
pect to put down several wells to
test out the field. We hope they
will find oil, if for no other
reason than it will give us Mr..
Meiklejohn for a resident.

Proctor Quits His Job.

The WinsloW Mail is pleased to
record the fact that Sam Proctor,
for the past year secretary of
the state corporation commission,
and recently an announced can
dldate for corporation commits
sion, has not only withdrawn his
name as prospective candidate,
but has resigned his place as
secretary Of the commission to
take effect Sept. 1st. Sam is too
square and clean a politician and
citizen to be mixed up with such
a rotten organization as the cor
poration commission, and our
only surprise is that he stayed
by the job so long. We do not
know what plans Mr.. Proctor
has for the future, but we hope
twill mean his return to Winslow.

Fire Causes Two Deaths.

Last Thursday evening in the
little town of Snowflake, a fire
probably caused by the overturn-
ing of a lamp. destroyed the
home of Mr.. John Dewitt, and
burned to death two OF his
youngest children. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dewitt were both absent from
home at the time, and only the
four children were in the house.
The two older children escaped
with only slight burns.

Change in Draft Board.

w. E. Ferguson, who has been
a member Of the local draft board
at Holbrook, has been removed
from office by the adjutant gen
eral, and the new appointee is
Mr.. H. M. Moritz, assistant
cashier of the Merchants & Stock
growers Bank Of Holbrook.
There has been considerable dis
satisfaction in some parts Of the
county for some time over the
question of deferred classifca-
tions, and then the friction be-
tween the adjutant generals
office and the secretary Of the
local board probably had some
thing to do with the change.

Seven Amendments on Ballot

With the close of the time for
filing petitions to initiate legisla-
ton under our law seven pro-
posed amendments have been
accepted by the secretary of
state to go on the ballot this fall
for ratification by the voters.
Four of them are constitutional
amendments, and three are stat
utory. The constitutional amend
ments are the workmen's COM
pensation law, characterization
making it illegal to vaccinate a
child without consent of the par
ents, reinstating capital punish
ment for first degree murder,
and a legislative re-districting
act. The three statutory acts re-
late to the sale, leasing and man.
agement of state lands.
We have not seen a copy of
the workmen's compensation law,
and are not familiar with it's pro-
visions, but every voter should
study the bill carefully to see
that it contains no joker that will
operate against the employe in
obtaining his just claims and in
sufficient amount for any person
al injuries.
The other three constitutional
amendments, an ti-vaccination,
reinstating capital punishment,
and the legislative redistricting
act, should all carry by a large
majority.
The three statutory amend
ments relating to the public lands
are vicious and should be defeat
ed. They have for their purpose
the removal of the restrictions
on the amount of land any person
can lease from the state, and
make it possible for the big
stockmen to lease all the lands
and drive out the little stockman,
and make it impossible for a man
to get into the game. The effect
of these measures will be to re-
tard the gro WITH and development
of the state, and destroy any
further attempts at agricultural
pursuits. The settlers who have
been taking up government land
and are struggling to make the
soil productive of crops will have
their efforts go for naught if the
stockmen's trust gets possession
of the state lands under this new
provision. Everybody interested
in the future prosperity of Ari-
zona, and especially in this part
of the state with our millions of
acres, should vote to defeat all
three of the proposed land
amendments to our present law.

Railroad Valuation.


as the state tax commission, have
finally after much deliberation
and the full approval of the rail-
road corporations, made public
the valuations they have placed
on the railroad properties in the
cities Of the state having a popu-
lation of more than 5000. The
total valuation of the city of
Winslow is $305, 398.64, just a
trife less than the railroad at
torneys stated before the corpo-
ration commission that the water
plant for Winslow was worth
when they were making an effort
to adjust the water rates. Within
the past year a 500, addition
was built on the general offices
of the company, and the Navajo
Ice Co., a subsidiary corporation,
but included in the assessment
of the railroad, has expended
about $75, ZOO in new buildings
and Improvements.
Perhaps the tax commissioners
will inform a waiting public.just
how they arrived at these figures
as a fair valuation of the railroad
property, and whether or not
these figures also include the
water plant, the ice plant and
the electric light plant, all the
property of the Santa Fe railroad.
This is capital illustration of the
usefulness Of the corporation COM
mission and the tax commission.
When the city tries to get relief
from eXhorbitant water rentals
the com pany complies it's
figures showing how much money
is invested in the plant on which
they are entitled to earn divi-
dend, and the same was true
when the city sought relief from
the rates for electricity. Then
the tax commission takes no
notice of these claims as to valu-
alton, but by a legerdemain that
would be ridiculous if it was not
almost criminal, they juggle out
a new set of figures for taxation
that represent less than one-fifth
of the actual valuation of the
property.
The valuation of the Santa Fe
property in Flagstaff is placed at
$196, 358, with nothing in the
way of improvement but an old
shack for depot; while in Win
slow there are the shops, round
house, store house, freight depot,
yard office, reading room and
Harvey House, all good substan-
tial buildings, the Harvey House
alone having a valuation of more
than 100000. In addition to
these is the water plant and the
electric light and ice plant.
With these concrete examples
of the subserviency of the tax
commission to the corporations
of the state it would seem the
people would arouse themselves
to the necessity of repeating the
law creating a tax commission
vand place the authority to appoint
appraisers each year to arrive at
true value of corporation prop
erty.
