NAVAJO AND M0HAVE
 ROAD BUILDING PLANS

An outline of the road program that will be carried out in Mohave county which recently voted $300,00O bonds for good roads, was given out by Thomas Maddock, state engineer.
 Mohave county will build roads through the east and west line of the county, having six different projects that will be carried through to com pletion.
 The different propecJs outlined are: The road from Oatman to Topock to the river bridge on the Old Trails highway; Kingman to Nelson, which will complete the Old Trails highway through Mohave county. On these two projects it is quite probable that federal aid will be secured, according to the state engineer, who says that the remainder of the program includes the road from Kingman to the Lower Sandy; Lower Sandy to Signal; King man to the Utah state line; Kingman south to the crossing to Bill Williams river crossing Yucca and continuing from Kingman toward Phoenix.
 Last week a $150,OOO bond election was held in Navajo county for a road program which includes a road from Holbrook to the Apache county line on the road to St. Johns, which is esti- mated at $20,000; from Holbrook to Winslow, $25,000; from Winslow to the Coconino county line to the Old Trails highway, $4,000; bridge across Cottonwood wash, S6,00O; Holbrook to the Apache county line on the Hol- brook Gallup highway, S5,O0O. The total of $60,000 probably will be matched by federal aid, according to Mir. Maddock, who said that state survey parties had been engaged in mapping out the work.
 The bonds provide $30,OO0 for road from Winslow north to the Moqui ln- dian reservation line and $35,0 900 for a road from Holbrook south to Snow flake, where connection will be had with the road which is now being built by the forest department. Other features of the Navajo county pro- gram include a road from Holbrook north to the Moqui Indian reservation line to cost $S,000; from Snowflake to Pinedale, $5,000, and for bridge at Taylor across Silver creek for $12,- 900.

SANTA FEE TRAIN 2
 IN HEAD-ON COLLISION

One of the worst wrecks on the, Santa Fe railroad in many years hap pened last Friday morning at about 5:30 o'clock, when train No. z, run, ming doubleheader, met a stock train head-on about mile and half east of Shomberg, a small station about twenty miles south of Raton. No. T, fast mail and express, was running late. It was in charge of Conductor Mark Brennan, of Albuquerque. The head engine was No. 1913, manned by Engineer Jeff Ruby and Fireman w. R. McBain, and the second engine was No. 1881, in charge of Engineer D. M. Williams and Fireman J. w. Pollard The eastbound freight was in charge of Conductor Dan Coyle. It was being pulled by engine No. 937, manned by Engineer Anthony Schultz and Fire man R. E. Lawrence. Both trains were running at high rate of speed when they collided. Engineer Schultz was instantly killed by being decapitated and his body badly crushed. His fire man, Lawrence, is seriously injured, both of his legs being broken, in ad- dition to receiving cuts and bruises. Engineer Ruby jumped when he saw the approaching train and escaped injury. His fireman. McBain, was badly shaken up, but escaped death by jumping. Engineer Williams stuck by his engine and received numerous bruises, broken arm and some brok- en ribs.
 The postal clerks and expressmen on No. ' received severe shaking up but escaped uninjured.
 The killed and injured all have fam lilies.
 West bound through trains were all from 12 to 24 hours late here Satur- day.

BIG BOOZE HAUL BY
 NAVAJO COUNTY OFFICERS

Three young men from Texas, G. w. Wilson, F. Williams and c. S. Curry, were arrested near Chevelon Canyon, near Winslow last week, on suspicion of having cargo of boot leg with them in the three autos. Up on search of the machines it was found they contained about 2,000 bot ties of whiskey, all nicely done up in burlap. The trio were arrested and taken to the county pail in Holbrook, appearing before Justice D. w. Eas- ley.
 The young men confessed that they were taking the booze to the coast {; that they secured it in Columbus, N. M. They claimed that it was their first offsense of any kind, and the jus tice ordered them to put up $100 cash bail each, which they did, disappearing shortly aftelward. It is not likely they will return.
 The booze is said to be valued at from 1000 to $25 1000. This will be confiscated, as we'll as a large Cole and two Studebaker machines, the county being the gainer
 Sheriff Harp learned that there was suspicion attached to the cars, as an accomplice came into Holbrook and bought gasoline for the three cars, the occupants of which were camp ed just north of Holbrook at the time. Later Sheriff Harp went after them, but they had passed through town, on their way westward. He then tele- graphed to Winslow. and after wait ing at the bridge at Chevelon for a long time the deputy sheriff and mar shal of Winslow finally found them in Chevelon Canyon about daylight. The young men were asleep and were easily taken.
 The arrested men made clean breast of it, saying they were caught, were guilty and gave up. The belief is general that they were not the only ones connected with the affair; that there were others behind it. However, Navajo county is three large autos ahead, besides 2,O00 bottles of booze. There are many men in Holbrook who believe that it should not be wasted, and some of them are thinking of get ting the flu, in the hope that the sher- iff's heart may soften.

More Food From Irrigation.

Prospects throughout the western reclamation belt indicate that the food production records of 1917 and 1918 will probably be eclipsed by those ot the current season. Prices of essen tial foodstuffs are high enough to make 1t attractive and profitable for farmers to produce on big scale. Re- ports indicate the labor supply is abundant and good. although demand ing high pay. Credits are not cramp- cd, with the consequence that native farmers are not handicapped in their operations, This Is why it lOOks like ? boom yeAr for the rubber-boot farmers of the far West.

STRIKING TRIBUTE TO
 THE LEGION SPIRIT

The article below is quoted from Life" Cssue of May 20, 1920) as a unique example of the extent to which The Legion's reputation for living up to it's ideals has permeated the whole of American national life. Appearing in a publication which is known to be not only independent" but vigorously antagonistic to certain legislation ad- vocated by The Legion, such story is certain to result in an immense gain in The Legion's already huge stock of good will and should go far toward convincing even fanatical skeptics that The Legion is not working for it's own selfish interests.
 The Greatest Union on Earth.
 (The little story that follows is neither fable, fiction, nor parable. Be- cause it is fact culled from the days work, it seems worth the telling. Bet ter still, it is but thin cross-section of what is happening daily through out America wherever the Legion has hurled it's battlefags. And we need something of optimism in this day of strikes and rumors of strikes, viol- ence and threats of violence and a promise that out of it all is coming that 'nohler and better America" that lighted our way with it's hopes in the darker days that have passed. It is only necessary to add that the real names have been disguised.)
 O'Brien, the head of a family of six, waived exemption because he believed others knew better than he where he would be most needed when the call came. He landed in class IA, and went-without beefing or asking why. He was wounded three times and gass- ed, and after nine months in the hos pitals was discharged, the doctors ad- vising outdoor work to slave off incip- tent tuberculosis.
 In canvass for new members, an American Legion worker called at his home. Neighbors who were caring for five children said that the mother was doing day work, and that O'Brien was starting his third week in search of any kind of job he could hold down.
 Stein, the. American Legion employ ment officer, corralled him that night, and for five solid days, forgetting his own business and the drive for new recruits, trudged with him the streets of the city of brotherly love. Every where it was the same answer, "Too light for the job," softened, perhaps with a smile or an q wish we could, boy"
 Strangely, he was not too light for the job Over There" he'd helped fin-

WHY SPRINGS BREAK

Nearly all spring breakage can be traced to loose spring clips and bolts, so observe this rule carefully.
 It is of the utmost importance that regular attention be given to the springs on your car if you are to real ize their fullest riding qualities. Even the best designed springs will become squeaky as soon as moisture enters between the leaves and causes rust. The fullest action and resiliency of the springs can be obtained only when the different leaves are free to slide on each other

LABOR FEDERATION
 CONDEMNS PLATFORM

The American Federation of Labor, at it's annual convention in Montreal, adopted report condemning the re- publican convention for Burning it's back on labor" in the platform adopt ed at Chicago.
 Those close to Samuel Gompers as- serted that the action of the republi- can convention would not have any eff feet on the non-partisan political pro gram. and there was not the slightest possibility of labor putting a party in the field this year.
The Coconino sun., 1920-06-18

A spring which is trusted up" can not do this, causing unequal strains to be placed on each leaf, especially the larger or main one. It follows, there fore, that to lubricate the springs as soon as they begin to squeak is the surest way to secure easy riding and prevent spring breakage.
 Once a week examine the clamping bolts, and spring clips holding front and rear springs to the axles, and see that they are absolutely tight. No matter how tight" they were drawn up at the last examination, the action of the springs will cause them to "stretch" or loosen up.

COL. GREENWAY REFUSES
 TO RUN FOR U. s.

Before leaving Chicago Sunday night Colonel John c. Greenway, of Warren, who had been there attending the republican national convention, gave out a statement that he will not be candidate for the republican nom- ination for United tSates senator in Arizona this fall. Colonel Greenway's name has been mentioned in connec- tion with the senatorial nomination ever since his return from France. It was generally believed that he would be a candidate in the event of the nomination of General Wood, with whom he served in Cuba.
