Col. Bishop, who Is now an nonor-

General of Canada, has promised to
hold an informal reception on the

Gun Fusillade.

According to the Flagstaff Lead
er a couple of ranchers living
near Doney Park, in that county,
had a gun battle last Saturday in
which twenty-seven shots were
fired and no one injured. The
trouble arose over some poison
set out by F. G. Keith for prai-
rie dogs, and the chickens of w.
N. Grant beat the dogs to the
feed and died. Both men were
arrested and gave bonds for ST, :
500 each to appear in court at a
later date for a hearing.

Will Not Build.

w. A. Parr has given up his
projected building operations for
the time being. He says the
price for materials are beyond all
reason, and no one could afford
to build homes for rental pur-
poses under existing conditions.
Mr.. Parr had made all his plans
for building four or five new
houses, for whicL he already had
secured tenants. With all the
noise the government and COM
mercial bodies are making about
everybody keeping the wheels of
industry humming, perhaps it
might be better if they directed
some of their noise toward the
manufacturers who are charging
prices that border on grand lar
ceny. The manufacturer wants
to get his while the war prices
are in vogue, and the govern
ment and the commercial bodies
are standing behind boosting to
make the people the goat.

Keep Open House.

There are so many citizens of
Coconino county who are making
their residence in the county Jail,
that Sheriff Harrington finds 1t
takes too much of the time of his
. office to extend courtesies to those
wishing to visit the inmates. He
therefore has prepared an AT

Sundays between 10 a. m and 8
p. m. In Navajo county most of
our people keep out of Jail, and
can entertain visitors at their
own homes at any hours that
suit them, and At Home" days
are not necessary at the county

Easter Sunday.

Next Sunday is Easter, and
many people will make their an
nual pilgrimage to some church
for service. Particularly will the
attendance of ladies be largely
increased to see the new summer
display of millinery. The men
will not worry about their ap-
parel, as each one will know the
other fellow has the same old
suit, only with a bigger patch on
it. 1t has taken all of fathers
money to pay the millinery bill.
He can concentrate his mind on

Elks' Minstrels.

The Elks' minstrels, advertis-
ed TO be pulled off at the Opera
House next Tuesday evening,
April IL, threatened at one time
to go down as nearly was"
when the local Internal Revenue
officer early in the week announc-
ed that under the new revenue
law effective April 1st, a tax of
Al cents per capita would be as
sessed on the performance. If
such rule had been enforced a
year later after the people had
an opportunity of seeing the COL
lection of talent that had been
drafted for the show, the Elks
would have no fear but what the
house would be sold out anyway,
as the performance would be
we'll worth twice the admission
charged. However, the skies
have cleared away beautifully,
as on appeal to Phoenix the In
ternal Revenue Collector, Alfred
Franklin, only the 10 per cent
tax is applicable, as the B. P.
0. E. is charitable organization.
At great expense and effort
the services Of the following gal
axy of stars have been secured
for this big event: Al Jolsyou,
George Rimhose, Lou Duckstut-
ter, Burnt Vikings, and Feber &
Yields. The special correspond
ent in New York of the Elks'
Booster, which will be issued
Monday, telawires that the above
aggregation left New York in
the Elks' special car Razinell ;"
on the 17th in apparent good
health.
The seating capacity Of the
house is only 500, so if you don t
want to stand up during the per-
Torrance it is time you were
making reservation of seats. The
price is Sl.00. Watch for the

will appear on the streets Mon

Improving the Cemetery.

About thirty years ago, accord
ing to Mesdames J. F. Mahoney
and R. B. Eastman, the then
young people Of Winslow, COM
menced giving dances to raise
funds to improve the Winslow
cemetery, and nearly every year
since the matter has been under
discussion, and finally a year ago
patent was secured from the
government for the ground. The
matter was taken up again at a
meeting of the city council last
Friday evening, and a special
committee composed of Mr.. F.
B. Douglas, Mrs. Mahoney, and
Mrs. Eastman were appointed to
see that the much talked-about
Improvements were really made.
Early Monday morning Mr.. Var
gas was selected by the commit
tee as care-taker, and 100 trees
have been planted during the
week, and other improvements
will be made as fast as the work
can be performed. Some of our
old settlers will, no doubt, be
pleased to know that after thirty
years of leverybody's business
being nobody's business in the
management of the cemetery, at
last some real action is in sight,
and the place will be put in at
least presentable condition.

158th Infantry Land.

The 158th Infantry landed in
New York Wednesday. There
were 13 officers and 1041 men, a
goodly portion of the number be-
ing Arizona boys who were with
the 1st Arizona prior to the war,
and a considerable number who
enlisted later. Navajo county
probably has 100 men in the reg
iment. 1t is not known yet to
what camp they will be sent for
rehabilitation, but tits more than
likely they will go to Kearney
where they were in training.

Word has been received by Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Daze that their
son, Bill, Jr., who has been in
the u. S. N. Training School at
Mare Island, Calf, has success
fully passed his examinations
and will be an Ensign as soon as
his commission is received from
Washington. The League of Ma
tions, which will do away with
war, is the only thing that will
keep Bill from being an admiral
with an orderly or two following
him around packinghis gold cords

Income Tax Payers.

In proportion to population the
city of Winslow probably has
more income tax payers than any
other city in Arizona, about fifty
per cent of the male population
of the city having to contribute
to Uncle Sam. Most all of these
are our railroad boys who are now
in the millionaire income class.
According to Congressman Hay
den the income tax has come to
stay as the scheme for raising
funds to maintain the govern
ment.

Red Cross Canteen.

Our new canteen hut is much
appreciated by passing soldiers
and sailors. During the first fif-
teen days of this month lunches
and hot coffee have been served
to IT'S men. There are some who
say, the war is over, why build
hut"' But the work of the
Red Cross will not be finished
until the last man has reached
home. The work of the canteen
is considered the most import
ant phase of Red Cross work at
this time, and should have the
support of every loyal American.
Those who criticise do not know
the work that is really being
done, and we invite you to see
our canteen.
Work on the scanteen building
will soon be finished, and plans
are being made to have a real
reception as soon as all is COM
pleted. Several splendid dona-
tions have been received this
week for the benefit of canteen
work here. One donation of ten
dollars was generously contribu-
ted by the local Ladies of the
Maccabees.
The Secretary will be at the
canteen hut each day, from 2::3O
to 4 p. m.
The Red Cross has on hand a
small quantity of yarn and khaki
cloth which will be sold at cost.
We desire to dispose of these ar
ticles, as there is no further need
of them for Red Cross needs.
The Red Cross canteen needs
a refrigerator, and several rock
ers. Who will loan them?
We are trying to make it
home like place for "our boys"
