Club Notes

The Friday Culture Club of
Winslow inaugurated activities
for the Autumn season last week
with two gatherings of club
members.
The Program Luncheon" on
Wednesday afternoon, with Mrs.
R. B. Walton, Mrs. ]. M. Gibson
and Mrs. j. E. Robe as success
slve hostesses, proved a most
happy affair and furnished the
means of promoting an excellent
club spirit among the members.
The entertainment furnished
during the afternoon was a pleas
ant surprise displaying the talent
of the club members in the terp-
sichorean art as we'll as literary
and music, and judging from the
comments heard an all sides at
the close of the afternoon the
hostess of the day must have felt
highly gratified at their efforts
at entertaining.
On Friday the Club met with
Mrs. L. j. Bennett beginning the
regular years program which is:
France under the Republic and
The Spirit of French Letters.
The program of the afternoon
consisted of the singing of Mar
seiliaise", followed by talk on
the early history of France, by
Mrs. Bennett; a paper by Mrs,
Schlueter giving some of the rea-
sons or cause of the French Re-
volueion, after which several re-
cords on the Victrola were given
from music of Sampson and
Delilah'', by the French COM
poser Saint Saens.

County's Tax Rate Highest

With a tax rate of S1.63 for
county purposes, plus the state
rate of so cents for state pur-
poses, Navajo countv's rate
towers high over any otner coun-
ty in the state. Added to this
rate of So % on each S1O0 valua
ton the bond and other special
school taxes must be paid. In
some of the towns the special
school taxes will bring the rate
up to near S4. But the high rate
is not the only thing the taxpay-
ers have to worry about. During
the last five years the assessable
valuations have been boosted be-
yond the sky line until some pro-
pertles are levied on at their full
cash values. The county tax roll
now shows a valuation about
double it was when statehood
was secured and the tax rate fut-
terS around at about the same old
figure Notwithstanding this in
crease. Thefollowing table shows
a comparison of the tax rates for
the year 1919 in the various coun-
ties of the state. To each of
these rates must be added 60c,

Prisoners Break Jail

Digging through the brick wall
of the county Jail, three prision-
ers made their escape from the
county bastile last Friday morn
ing. 1t is evident that in some
manner the negro who was ar
rested last week prowling around
the rooms of the Commercial
Hotel in Holbrook, obtained a
strong iron bar with which he
first pried the door to mis- cell,
liberating the other prisoners
and afteward using the crude in
strument to dig through the
brick wall of the Jail. This negro
is the same one that was shining
shoes in the Drumm Barber shop
here until about two weeks ago.
Included with the prisoners men
toned in making their escape
was John Graves of here, re-
Gently bound over to the Superior
Court on the charge of murder
ing a returned Mexican soldier.
All prisoners escaped with the
exception of lone bootIegger
who refused to make his escape,
preferring to stay with Sheriff
Harp.
At the time of going to press 70
trace of the escaped prisoners
has been found.

Poultry Show for Winslow

1t is not generally realized
what qualities of high class poul-
try are raised in Winslow but
the fact that other communities
are sending here for eggs for
setting purposes indicates that
attention is being directed to the
quality of our birds.
We were very much impressed
with a display of Winslow poul-
try at our county fair. held last
week in Snowflake, all five of the
birds exhibited having won
prizes and were decorated with
ribbons. An entry of three Rhode
Island Reds, exhibited by R. B.
Walton, wen first cockrel and
first and second pullet prizes. A
White Rock exhibited by j. j.
Hayward of this city won first
cock and first hen prize in their
classes.
A Navajo County Poultry AS
sociation has been organized and
it is proposed to hold a mid-win-
ter show in Winslow each year
in addition to the annual October
show in Snowflake, and local
breeders are urged to join the
association and aid in making
this show success.

Mrs. Eliza A. Smith Laid to Rest

MIS-. Eliza A. Smith died the
morning of October 11th at the
ripe old age of eightv-seven
years. The death was very sud-
den as Mrs. Smith had suffered
no illness whatever and was not
even complaining Friday night
when she retired.
Mrs. Smith was the mother Of
Mrs. A. l.. Doolittle and had re-
sided at the home of her daugh-
ter for the past eight years.
The decedent was born in New
field, New York, August 2, 1882,
and united with the Presbyterian
Church when a child in IJhica,
New York, and ever since has
had abiding faith. For twenty
six years she has lived with her
daughter, Mrs. A. L. Doolittle,
and for the past eight years she
has resided in Winslow where
she made many friends. To
know Grandma was to love her,
and those who knew her best
loved her for her motherly ways.
AS quietly as the day slips into
the night, she slipped from the
day whose sun shall never go
down.
Funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. O. M. Andrews from
the home of Mrs. Doolittle Mon
day at 3 p. m.

new OIL COMPANY
in H0LBROOk field
Allen Oil Company Interested in
~Holbrook- Winslow Fields and
Contemplates Drilling
HOPI-WIND RIVER co.
RESUMES OPERATION
Holbrook Oil Co. Has Now Been
Drilling As Days

To what extent the Allen Oil
Company will be interested IN
the Holbrook field is the subject
of much discussion during the
past week. Secretary Frank
Woolsey has been in Holbrook
for the past ten days awaiting
the arrival of President Ritter,
and while it is not definitely
known just what acreage is un-
der negotiation, it is known,
without question, that the Allen
Company, after the report of
Geologist Fred A. Craise, has
been very much inclined to Sc
cure a large and we'll selected
acreage and the information has
been given out that it is the in
tention of this company to drill
several wells. With the arrival
of President Ritter this week,
matters should come to a head.
After delay in securing an
underreamer, necessitating a Shut
down since the Pennsylvania
sands were penetrated about two
weeks ago, the Hopi- Wind River
we'll has again resumed opera
ton. 1t is anticipated that ne
cessary underreaming will be ac-
complished and new depth Sc
cured in this we'll within the
next few days. This we'll is
about $500 feet deep at present.
! The Holbroek Oil Company
continues to make splendid head
way. This we'll is just now pass
ing through the Coconino sand
stone at 452 feet (Tuesday even
ing) which is much better than
has been made by any other COM
pany in the same time of opera
tions. The Holbrook Oil Com
pany has been actually drilling
45 days, which is conclusive that
its heavy massive and we'll equip
ped rig under the directions of
Dad Hastings will not be vast
ing much time in making proper
test.
New cable for the we'll of the
Adamana Company arrived Fri
day and was Immediately hauled
to the well and drilling continued
with the new line. Drilling is
in blue shale which is said to
carry encouraging indications.
The depth of this we'll is reported
as approximately 100 feet.
The core drill being operated
on the Richard Owens lease is in
operation daily and progress is
being made through the tough
Coconino sandstone.
All in all, the conditions in the
field are such as to warrant the
greatest optimism, with four rigs
drilling. real oil indications being
encountered and the we'll known
Allen Company negotiating for
an immense drilling acreage. The
fact that the Sinclair representa-
tive is to remain in Holbrook per-
manently is indicative of a keen
interest on the part of this big
company.
The Aztec Petroleum Securities
Company, controlling immense
acreage of decided land, is receiv-
ing inquiries daily as to terms
and acreage available for drilling
purposes.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT
PREVENTION DRIVE
Railroad Safety Committee Will
Launch National Drive Last
ing ID Days
325, 900 ASKED TO
HELP MAKE r. r. SAFER
Drive Begins at 1901 a. m. Oct.
ober 18th

By the afternoon of October
18th approximately 325, 600 rail
road men in the Central Western
Region will have resolved to go
fourteen days without sustaining
personal injury to themselves
Or being the cause of another's S
injuries.
The fortnight beginning at
1901 a. m. October 18th has been
designated by the Director Gene
raj Of Railroads as the National
Accident Prevention Drive, and
according to a statement issued
today by Mr.. H. A. Adams, Re-
gional Supervisor of Safety for
the Central Western Region, the
lines under his jurisdiction are
endeavoring. through their Off
GERS and employees, to eliminate
accidents to greater degree
than was shown in the June No
Accident Drive, when a reduc-
tion of over 78 per cent. was af-
fected.
Every individual empioye has
been reached by some member of
the Safety Department, or repre-
sentative from the Safety Com
mittee which has some employe
from.its particular class of sei-
vice as it's representative in safe
ty matters.
Just imagine: Over 1000 safety
committees, made up of approx
mately 33, 600 committeeman an
average of II men on every COM
mittee, meeting in regular ses-
sion one day out of each month
to discuss and correct hazardous
conditions and unsafe practices
reported by the employees them
selves. This gives you an idea
of the great activity of the safety
organizations on the railroads
under Federal control.
How do the employees them
selves take it? Here is what one
has said: IAN employe, to be just
to himself, his family. the public,
and his fellow man in the advo.
cacy of Safety Work on our rail
roads, should not hesitate to
make the same contention for
the elimination Of dangerous
physical condition or a dangerous
practice that is obviously me
mace to life and limb, and to pro-
perty, and which can be correct
ed, as he would make for an evi
dent shortage in a pay check.
1t is believed that the National
Railroad Accident Prevention
Drive, to be carried on over the
entire United States, will. cause
a great rivalry among the roads
and the men to go the entire
period without casualty. Every
one will be on his mettle to pre-
vent actual suffering or grief as
a result of railroad accidents,
and reaching the goal will make
this campaign we'll worth while,
thereby establishing a precedent
that can and should be maintain
ed.
Officers and employees of rail
roads. and through them the
general public, will know each
day wnat is being accomplished
during this specialized period of
accident prevention by daily tele-
graphic reports.
