ashingtOn-Because of the failure
to receive satisfactory bids from pri-
vate contractors the Secretary of the
interior has approved of the construc-
ton of the diversion dam on the Gila
River above Florence by force ac-
count. Appropriations by Congress
aggTegating $250,000 are now avail
able for this work which will be un-
der the direct supervision of C. r..
Olberg, an engineer of the Indian Ir-
rlgation Service. Prior to entering
the Indian Service, where he became
Supervising Engineer for the district
comprising Southern Arizona and
Southern California, Mr.. Olberg was
employed as an engineer by the United
States Reclamation Service on the
construction Of the Roosevelt Dam.
During the war with Germany he was
commissioned as Captain in the En-
gineer Corps and served for nearly
Two years in France.
In the Indian Appropriation Act of
March 2, 1917, $4,000 was authorized
to be expended in the construction Of
the main canals and laterals leading
from the Florence diversion dam and
the Indian Bill of 1918 carried an ad-
ditiOnal $4,000 for this purpose Con-
gfessman Carl Hayden of Arizona has
secured another 100000 for canal
construction in the Appropriation Bill
which has just passed the House so
that total of $225 900 will be avail
able for the construction of the pro-
iect in addition to the $250,000 for
the diversion dam.

JUST A LITTLE THOUGHT FOR
OTHERS

The editor who sits at his desk is
public servant. He advises and
counsels with the people He is of
the people and his thoughts must be
a composite of the thoughts of the
popu,ace. Therefore, it is without
malice or prejudice that an editor
suggests new things or a change in
the old. Now, we took the time the
other evening to attend the movies
at the Opera House. We found it a
very comfortable place, and the pic
lures most entertaining and Winslow
is to be congratulated upon possess
ing such a show house. We suggest
to the young men who think mostly
Of themselves and of avoiding a few
minutes delay in the aisles while ex-
iting, that they remain seated until
the .Finis" is thrown on the screen.
Their rising and injecting their
Opaque forms in the line of vision
Of those remaining seated robs the
theater-goer of his right and privi-
lege of seeing the climax of the pic
ture which he has been watching
and for which right he paid his
money. Again we say, these sugges-
tons bear no malice.

PHOTOGRAPHIC DEMONSTRATION
VERY INTERESTING

Probably number of people who
attended the recital given Monday
night by Collins and Harlan at the
School Auditorium were at first puz
zled and disappointed when they dis
covered a photographic cabinet oc-
cupying the center of the stage
They were hardly reassured when
Mr. Reed appeared on the stage and
commenced to talk about "re-crea-
ions" 1t finally became apparent
that the phonograph was at least to
receive assistance from the singers
but even then the mental outlook
was not exactly bright.
Mr.. Reed explained that the pur-
pose of the recital was to illustrate
that Thomas A. Edison, after years
of work had achieved his ideal Of
perfecting a musical instrument
which would actually ''re-create"
music so that the recreation
would be indistinguishable from the
the original
This was a broad claim but it was
established before the evening was
over for the artists actually stood
beside the New Edison Phonograph
and performed in unison with Mr.
Edison's "re-creaticn'-so called
of their performances. This would
have proved little as the artists
might have Overbalanced the tone of
the Observation-Disclosures it up
so to speak; but they did more, or,
to be accurate, less. They paused
from time to time, apparently at
random and permitted their 're-crea-
sd performances to be heard alone
This gave opportunity to compare
one with the other and it is no more
than just to state that there were
no discernable difference in tone
quality.
There must have been a slight diff
ference in volume when the artists
stopped singing or playing but it was
not noticeable for the tone which
came from the cabinet was round
and luscious with all the vibrant,
pulsating quality of that which came
directly from Collins and Harlan's
throats. 1t was only by watching
the singers lips that one could be
sure when they sang or played and
when they did not.
This proof was convincing. If it,
were not another proof was offered
After Mr.. Collins had commenced to
sing one number the lights were
turned Out-Ostensibly so that the
audience could not watch the sing
er's lips.
1t did not seem difficult to deter
mine in the dark when the singer
sang and when he did not. The
writer was pretty sure about it him
self until the lights were turned on
again and it was discovered that Mr..
Collins was not on the stage at all
and the the New Edison alone had
been heard.
1t might be we'll to add that the
School Auditorium was crowded tol
the limit and that the feast of tha
remarkable music, both human and
Mechanical, was a treat of the high
est class for the music lovers of
WinSlow.

The Sunday school tipped the
scale at one hundred in attendance
last Sunday. More people are study
ing the Old Book than ever before
The Mems Bible class is growing.
The Epworth League will have charge
of the evening service on Sunday
evening, February 9Th. The sermon
theme Sunday morning will be "A

ject "a Vision of Opportunity" The
congregations were good last Sun
day, and the choir gave us some
good music If you do not think the
church is living up to it's name, The
Church of the Friendly Hand, just
linger a moment after the service
1t goes without saying you are well
come.

A STILL HUNT FOR BURGLARS

Marshall Ed. Gardner was notified
the other day that a Mexican had
stolen some laundry off of porch
on West Aspinwall and while trailing
the thief on the east end of the Santa
Fe yards he struck the scent of some
thing stronger even than unclean
laundry. He followed the scent, en-
tered bunk house and discovered a
quantity of home distilled in Jugs
and demijohns and mash in the pro
cess of fermentation. He also found
three Mexicans evidently preparing
tor future production; one was heat
ing up red peppers to make it burn
when it is going down, another was
seeding ralsins to give it the proper
Kick and the other was slicing ham
rlnls as substitute for fusil oil.
There were found also a nice supply
Of dried apples in soak, corn in plen-
ty and plug tobacco, brown sugar
and red r1rpers, ETC., all of which
is confiscated. Marshal Gardner has
notified Sheriff r. L. Newman at
Holbrook to make the Jail ready for
the three bOarders as there is little
doubt but that will be their. resi-
dence after Judge Sweeney has pass

ARMENIAN FUNDS

II O4NDo
Ihe work of raising funds for the
children of Armenia and the Nea,
East is being continued throughout
the state, as the quota for Arizona is
not yet secured" is the statement o+
Y. f. Willis, state director of the
Near East Relief.
Last wear Arizona was the first
state>ln the Union to go over the for
ana 1t is felt that in spite of the
TACT that times are not as prosner.
Gus as at this time last wear. Ari-
zona will not fail to do her share in
snls great work of saving children s
lives.
The constructive program of the
Near East Relief in Armenia is to
make the country productive and to
provide employment for those rend-
cred destitute by the war, but the
hrst great need is to relieve the
present suffering, to provide enough
TODD to keep alive through the win
ter months, the thousands of orphan
children entirely dependent upon
them for their existence, and to
give temporary aid to the million
and a half refugees who have been
driven from their homes by the un-
Spoakable Turk.
For all the professed idealisln of
the late war, in practice the weak
are being slowly pushed to the wall
by the governments of the world.
Governments are remorseless:> their
very existence depends upon the sue
cess with which they evade war bur
dens by shifting them elsewhere.
But with the peoples of the world
it is not so. They have learned
what suffering is, how profitless and
how needless. Through the Near
enians in the past year. Over 500
100000 have gone to keep the Arm
enians in the past year Overr 500
American men and women are work
ing in the Near East, unobstrusively
and effectively, to keep the original
Christian nation from starvation
and destruction.
Tens of thousands of little
children are being fed by Ameri
cans;63 hospitals are being kept run
ming with 6552 beds, always full.
And now that the appeal is being
made to the great heart of the Amer
lean people, and to the people of our
own Arizona, We feel that they will
respond, in SO far as it is possible.
A small amount from large number
swells the total.

SO do ye unto me-"

WINSL0W TO BE WELL REPRE-
SENTED AT SHRINE CEREMONY

/ When train No. pulls out of Win
aslow on February 21st, there will
probably be an extra pullman car or
two occupied with Winslowites bound
for Phoenix to witness the dedication
of the new Shrine Temple on Febru-
ary 22nd, which will be followed by
the grand parade, a spectular affair
with many novel features The novice
will take a prominent part in the
parade.
A most elaborate ceremonial is
planned at which the novices will
take the leading part and for those
who are there, you will forget all
about depression during the evening
as all you need is good laugh and
you will get SO many that it will be
continuous. 1t will be real show
and (say, let US tell you more at the
Ceremonial Session as you under
stand that we cannot let the Novices
know too much in advance).
Now is the time to write for hotel
reservations as an unusually large
attendance is expected A committee
mas been appointed to assist in MAX
ing hotel reservations and in provid-
ing accommodations for all visitors.
Pullman reservations can be made
at later date and remember that if
you want lower berth it will be
higher in price, don't be like this fell
low; he was no travelling man. That
much was noticed by the clerk at
the station. LET me have sleeping
accommodations on the train to
Phoenlx,' said the man, approaching
the clerk cautiously.
For single passenger asked
the clerk smiling.
No" replied the man. sI'm mar
ried but I am not taking anybody
with me. A single shelf will answer
/ suppose"
clerk" ~
What's the difference" asked the
passenger.
"A difference of about $4," answer
ed the clerk.
INC passenger paused as he fumbl-
cd his money, and the clerk explain
ed: You understand, of course, the
lower is higher than the upper. The
ligher price is for the lower berth
II you want lower you will have TO
go higher. We sell the upper lower
than the lower. In other words, the
higher the lower"
Why do they all ask for the low,
er asked the man.
On account of it's convenience"
replied the clerk hastily. Most per-
sons don't like the upper, although
stS lower, on account of it's being
higher, and because when you oc-
cupy an upper you have to get up to
your bed and then get down when
you get up. / would advise you to
take the lower, although it's higher
than the upper, for the reason | have
stated, that the upper is lower be-
cause it is higher. You can have the
lower if you pay higher; but if you
are willing to go higher it will be
lower"
Anyhow this man got to Phoenix
as we expect those to do who are
planning to go.
