Bow Up on Burleson.

Since the Postmaster General
has taken charge of the tele-
phone companies he finds more
receipts are needed to keep his
plaything going. and he has in
stltuted new schedule of tele-
phone charges, in addition to
those already made, and he pro-
poses to attempt to put them in
to effect January 21st. The Ari-
zona Corporation Commission
seems to feel their perogatives
have been ignored by the Post
master General, and notice has
been given by them that the pro-
posed increase in rates have been
abrogated and annulled. for the
reason that the rates have been
effected in manner wholly con-
trary to the laws of Arizona.
This does not mean, however,
that the increase will not be
granted, but the commission
wants Burleson to first get the
permission of the Corporation
Commission, which they will un-
doubtedly grant on request, as
the history of the Corporation
Commission is that they always
give the corporations all the re-
lief they ask for if they can get
away with it on some legal pre-
tense.

Death Calls Another.

Mr.. Jack Bankhead, a nephew
of the late N. S. Bly,, of this
place, passed away at his home
in Williams early last Tuesday
morning from an attack of infu-
enza. He had been visiting his
mother in Phoenix, returning
home about a week ago, and was
Immediately confined to his bed.
Deceased was twenty-six years
old.
DR.. Gelert Ramage has opened
his dental offices in the Elks'
building.
Bob Walton was the orator
representing Winslow at a meet
ing last week of the chamber of
commerce recently organized at
Holbrook.
Frank Noble, who has been
acting postmaster at Flagstaff
since the resignation of j. l..
Brynes about a year ago, died
very suddenly at his home last
Sunday. He had been i'll four
DAYS, but it was not considered
serious until a few hours before
he passed away. Death was due
to tuberculosis.
D. J. Thomas, Of Holbrook,
was in the city Monday, leaving
that evening for Phoenix to at
tend a council meeting of the
state bankers. Confdentially,
Mr.. Thomas informed the editor
that the beds in the Harvey
House should be raised a little
higher from the floor so a fat
man like himself could crawl un-
der should occasion require.

Children Taken to Los Angeles.

AS a result of the examination
and report on the dog killed by
the marshal last week that the
animal was suffering from rabies,
one adult and six children were
taken to Los Angeles last Mon
day to be given the Pasteur treat
ment.
Those in the party were A. O.
LaPrade with his little girl, Mrs.
j. &. Dunn with her boy, and
Mrs. Morgan in charge of her
boy and two Bly, children, and
Mr.. Caldwell, who was bitten
while trying to protect his little
girl, who was also victim. .
Immediately the report on
the dog was received DR.. Samp-
son, the county health officer,
put out an order that all dogs
must be kept chained up for a
period of ninety days, and dogs
loose in the yards, or on the
streets, would be killed. The DO
lice force was augmented by the
addition of several deputies, and
a wholesale killing of dogs has
reduced the number amazingly.
A few owners of dogs objected
to the order of keeping their pets
chained up, but the rule will be
rigidly enforced. There is no
means of knowing how many
dogs were bitten by the infected
animal, and it will require at least
ninety days to definitely develope
the virus. To permit a dog loose
in the yard would be hazardous,
as it might develope rabies, get
out of the yard and bite score
of people before it could be kill
ed. The course pursued by DR..
Sampson will meet the approval
of all reasonable people, and he
should have their moral support
against all objectors.

Our New County Attorney.

IT'S sad tale, mates; mourn.
full as the sad sea waves on, q
stormy night, and the gloom is
slow in breaking. 1t was a dark
and terrible night-this Friday
night when happened the event
that curdled the blood of brave
men.
1t seems the new county attor-
ney, one 7. R. Greer, had press
ing business engagementin Wins
low last Friday, and he came to
the city on No. Z and registered
at the Harvey House. When No.
10 arrived from the west at 9:45
pm. buxom lady alighted, reg
istered at the Harvey House, and
was assigned to room Is. There
is mild, soft-spoken Irish gen.
tleman. Thos. Fitzpatrick, who
is the hou seman at the hostelry,
and few minutes after the lady
was shown her room, he saw a
man enter which is contrary to
the laws and statutes made and
provided for the regulation of the
Harvey House. Thomas imme-
diately went to the door of the
room and knocked but got no re-
sponse, and when he tried to open
the door found it locked. Then
he hied himself to the office to
report to the manager, and to-
gether the went back to room Is.
He knocked again, and again, and
the next time he spoke authori-
lively that he wanted the door
open. In a few minutes the lady
opened the door about two inches
to inquire what was wanted. The
h0uSeman had his foot between
the door and jamb, and pushed
the door open. The gentleman
in the room was evidently seek
ing a nickle, or seclusion, under
the bed, and he was invited to
come out. When he crawled out
and was on his feet it was our
new county attorney, 7. R. Greer,
and the manager ordered him to
get his baggage and leave the
hotel.
When Greer reported to the
office he tried to explain to the
manager that he was called to
the room on legal business, and
the reason the door was locked
the lady was afraid. The mana
ger plainly told him that kind of
an excuse might satisfy some
people, but it would not go with
him, and that he did not want
Mr.. Greer as a guest in his house.

Falls for Old Tune.

Our old friend Carl Behn has
lost all faith in sad eyed men,
bowed in grief, who love sacred
music. A few days ago an old
gentleman arrived in Winslow.
and secured a room at the Pal
ace hotel. He was immaculate
in attire, had consumptive
cough and a hectic flush, and
a sad careworn expression. He
was extremely modest, even
shy, in demeanor, but he let it
leak out that he was president of
a bank at Niles, Mich. His only
recreation seemed to be buying
a daily paper, and sitting in T.
Nlethammer's store listening to
the Edison phonograph. Here
ne met our friend Behn, who al
SO loves music. Between the
changes of records they visited
together, and with tears running
from his eyes that made the sur
rounding landscape look like a
water pipe had broke, he told
Behn about his wife's recent de-
mise, how his own health had
broken, and he had come to Ari-
zona to seek surcease from trou-
BILE and broken spirits, to await
the call of the Master to join his
beloved wife on the golden shore.
Then he asked Mr.. Niethammer
to put on the record Nearer NV
God to Thee" and the water
pipes had sprung another leak
before the tune was ended. The
scene was most distressing, and
blowing his nose furionsIy the
old man started for his hotel,
bowed and shaking with grief.
The next afternoon late he
called at Behn's store with ad-
ditional troubles. His trunk had
failed to arrive, and he needed
a liberal supply of clean linen,
=
and would Mr.. Behn fill his de-
mands and cash draft on his.
home bank. Mr.. Behn has an
iron-clad rule never to cash a
draft or check for strangers, but 4
he remembered how the old man
loved to hear the good old tune,
Nearer My God to Thee" and
recalled the parable of the good
Samaritan. He sold the goods.
and cashed the check. The dear
old man has not been seen since.
If the choir at church ever sing
Nearer My God to Thee" when
the offertory is being taken Mr..
Behn will reach for his pocket
book and start for the door.

Fear Overproduction.

1AI IIlS lIleeCluS OF Cn6 amer.
can National Live Stock, Associa-
ton, in session in Denver. the
president, |. T. Pryor, in his an
nual address, makes the remark
able statement that overproduc-
tlon of meat animals in 1920
would prove disastrous to the
business. He declared the Unit
ed States had sufficient supply
meat animals to meet all antici-
pated demands from hungry Eu-
rope and domestic consumption,
and with our export decreasing
and our over supply increasing
the problem confronting cattle
men is to regulate supplies for
1920 and thereafter to the needs
OF the domestic consumer as the
only sure and unfailing market
Tor their products. Mr.. Pryor
may be right in his coniectures.
but for two years now meat prices
have been steadily advancing un-
til they are almost prohibitive,
and the excuse given is the sur
prlslng shortage of meat animals
In the country, and no relief from
the burden could be expected un-
til such time as there was an in
crease in production. So serious
was the situation deemed by the
government only last fall that
an order was issued by the gov
ernment that no young heifers
should be sold in order to increase
production. If the statement of
MIR. Pryor is correct it is about
time the government took some
drastic action with the packers,
who insist on keeping the high
prices on their products. The
people have meekly stood the
burden of meat prices on the
statement of the government
that there was a normal short
age and largely increased de-
mand caused by the war, but if
this was all choice buncombe to
deceive it is about time the peo-
pie were given some relief. The
packers evidently feel themselves
so strongly entrenched that the
government dare not interfere
with the robblng of the public.
Only a few days ago Ogden Ar
mour appeared before the con-
gressional committee with the
threat that if the government
interferred with the management
of the packing companies it would
create a panic in the food produc-
tion of the country, and if the
packing companies think they are
bigger than the government it is
time the government called their
hand for a showdown. If they
prove their contention let the gov
ernment resign and turn the ad-
ministration over to the packers.
