LUMBER co. MAKES
 EXCELLENT SHOWING

to stock both yards at the new pre- valing prices which means a big saving to prospective builders
 The big lumber mills of the north west, which are the barometer of the lumber market, have just announced drop of $1O- a thousand in dimen- sion, S25 a thousand in flooring and 50 per cent reduction on shingles. which make general reduction of from 25 to 55 per cent lower than the average 1920 figures
 These, cuts will have their effect in all parts of the country, and tend to show that lumber and building material are in the front ranks of the necessary commodities that are rapidly returning to normal.
 The outlook as forecast by the Hall Lumber company is exceeding ly bright-and 1921 will bring avon derful impetus to the campaign of home building that has siezed the en- tire world.

WINSLOW JUDGE
 JARRED LOOSE

The Winslow Justice of Peace scrap is still holding the boards in the superior court with no signs of abate- ment.
 J, L. Sweeney appeared before Judge Crosby last Saturday to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt in not turning apperta- nances of the office as well as the cognomen over to Walton.
 Attorney O'Sullivan of Phoenix ap- peared for Sweeney and it was agreed that a motion for a new trial would be made before Judge Bollinger, who put the skids under Sweeney, and if he is still of the same opinion when OSullivan gets through with him the case will be appealed by defend ants to the supreme court.
 In the meantime Walton has start ed in to try over again the cases de- cided by Sweeney, and when Sweeney regains his equilibrium as a judge he will probably touch up the Walton cases-in this way Walton will re- pudiate Sweeney and Sweeney will repudiate Walton. And the litigants in the Winslow court in the mean time will be given rain checks for the next umpire instead of judg- ments that will stick.

SIX CHEVROLETS IN
 HOOK FOR TAXES

When the Chevrolet slump struck the Holbrook branch of the General Motors Acceptance Company that ac- cepted orders for the Chevrolet in Holbrook-and their business was running in low gear, they accepted a contract with the Santa Fe to tow them back to the home office all the way-and the unsold Lizzies, six of them, were herded into a car on the Santa Fe track-ready to go back, and everything looked lovely for the elopement of the said Lizzies from a staGnant and unappreciative market.
 But, in the multiplication of com plications that arose in making their getaway, they snubbed County Assess or Shumway, and in their haste to fly never said good bye-"What is our bill for being stored up in Hol- brook?" or anything else that should have been said, and just to show the said Lizzies' chaperons that he is on the job, he tackled a notice on the departing Lizzies' special car that said You are hereby held for taxes in the sum of $1OO31;" and if the said chaperons do not come through by the 17th of February he will hold bargain sale of Chevrolets on that day-and they came through.
 A famous scientist claims to have a scheme to beat the grim reaper out of his toll-but none of the many devices to beat the tax man have ever been put over successfully.
 This is the only "buzz wagon" out fit in Holbrook that never could see the necessity of advertising-and it is the only one that we know of that has turned up its toes tS the cactus" and had it's corpse attached just for living in the county.

 It is confident belief, as evil denced by public opinion as well as the attitude of the management of this company, that the Holbrook will more than justify the expectations induced by the showing that has been made. We stated in a former issue that underreaming had been in pro- gress and whether the well is shot at the present depth to ascertain the content of the strata, or whether it is decided to continue deeper, this preliminary work must be accomp- lished as water was encountered af- ter the original placing of the eight inch casing.
