OBSERVED BY LEGION

Festivities of the Frank Perkins
post of the American Legion in cele-
bration of Armistice Day begins to-
morrow. Plans have been completed
for the proper observance of the day,
and everything is in readiness to
carry into effect the program.
The annual Armistice Day banquet
to the American Legion will be held
tomorrow evening in the Maccabee
hall at 7:30 sharp. This has been
an annual affair with the Frank Per-
kins post of Winslow and is always
a big affair. The Womens' Auxiliary

the banquet. All members of the
organization are requested to be pres
ent for the dinner.
Armistice Day will be observed by

ems Auxiliary thereto will attend in
a body. A short address will be given
by Commander Lieberman, and the

Gallup and Winslow high schools on
the local field. The American Legion
is sponsoring this contest
A motion picture, ''The Heart of
Maryland, has been secured and will
be shown on Monday evening at the
Opera House. "The Heart of Mary
land" is one of the great patriotic
plays now on the screen and is emin-
emily fitting for Armistice Day. 1t
will be shown under the auspices of
the Frank Perkins post. The public
is urgently requested to take advant-
age of the opportunity to see this
great picture.
Five years have passed since the big
guns were silenced. We are not less
appreciative of the fact today than
we were on November II, 1918. Are
we going to forget the responsibilities
allotted to us by the act of the armis
tice Are We not sidestepping our
duties as 100 percent Americans This
should remind us that nation spOn
sored by Jefferson and Lincoln will
live up to ite true principles with a
motto of 100 percent pure and un
adulterated Americanism. This is
what the American Legion stands for

COLORADO RIVER COMPACT WOULD
UNLOCK THE WHEELS OF PROGRESS,
SAYS SENATOR MULFORD WINSOR
"A small part of the power of the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado River will form the bases of growth for
Arizona beyond the pretentions of Optimism" he says

trust such is not the purpose of their
authors. l merely wish to point out
that the Compact, which neither fav-
ors nor opposes any plan, and has
nothing whatever to say with
respect to any plan, will neither
prevent nor interfere with these mag
nificent enterprises, should the people
approve them, but on the other hand is
absolutely essential to their achieve
ment and realization. Without a
treaty, such as the Compact constitu-
tes, there can be no comprehensive
development under any plan or
scheme, or by any agency-Federal
State or private. Without a treaty
any attempt at development, by any
agency, will be met with legal or
political distractions, or both, as the
interests Of those adversely affected by
the proposed development may sug-
geSt Without an amicable under
standing and agreement between the
interested States, development of the
COlorado's resources, on any signifi-
cant scale, and especially in the par
ticulars most vital to Arizona may
as we'll be classed as a dream of
future ages. Those who have, or be-
lieve they have, definite, concrete
plan for the rivers development, and
know from whence the money is COM
ing with which to carry out their
plan, should be the first, the 1oudest
and the most insistent in demanding
ratification of the Compact. By op-
posing ratification they are laying
themselves open to the just and legi-
innate charge of being accessories to
the killing of their own child before
it is born
But whether it is their child that
should be born, or some other child
possibly of more vigorous constitu-
ton if not fairer form, it is indeed
and truly a serious thing to be res
ponsible, in ever so small degree,
for the defeat of a movement which
otherwise would eventuate in the de-
velopment of the vast resources of this
mighty Western river. The material
benefits that must inevitably flow
from so huge an enterprise within
our own borders is, of course, in
general way, known of all, but it may
we'll be that there are many, even
among the well informed, who do not
grasp the full measure of it's signifi-
canoe.

Bids on necessary furniture fol
Winslow'~ new city hall were openef
at the regular monthly meeting oi
the town council Tuesday afternoon
in it's chambers. After they were
read provision was made that the
furniture committee composed of Oar
ling, Claffey and Johnson, check up
on the various details of the bids and
order the furniture.
The Council recommended that the
accounts of the gas company be
audited by a committee composed OF
Darling, Hebert and McGregor.
George Jackson was appointed as
chief of the city fire department. In
making the appointment the town Of
ficials recommended that the firemen
get together and organize so that
each one would know what his duties
are whenever the department is call
ed out A motion was made and
passed that rubber coats and hats
and a f1rst-aid kit be provided for the
use of the firemen.
Motion was made and passed that
fire-alarm box and indicator be in
stalled at the city hail, This appara-
tus will cost $500, the expense to be
born equally by the city and the
Santa Fe Railway Company.
The council authorized the building
of a wide gutter at Cherry and Berry
avenues, a crossing at Fourth and
Williamson and valley gutter and
crossing at the corner of Williamson
and Aspinwall.
Motion was made and passed that
the dummy police at the corner of
Williamson and Third streets be re-
moved. It was either necessary to
install light at that corner or else
remove the dummy, which could not
be seen at night when two cars were
approaching it. The installation of
the light and it's upkeep would amount
to a considerable sum- Rather than
go to the extra expense the council
deemed it better to remove the
dummy.

.OTERO LOSES ROLL
BANDITS NOT FOUND

Missine his train Friday night prov
ed to be more than mere disappoint-
ment to Eduerdo Otero; in fact, it
proved to be big loss to him. While
he was on his way to the Saravias
boarding house to get a room about
4 a. m. after missing No. 81, on which
he planned to go to Flagstaff, two
masked robbers stepped out from the
Charles Daze feed corral on East
Fourth avenue, stuck two guns in his
face and commanded him to stick 'em
up. They took his roll of $4,000 and
his watch and chain and then ordered
him to move on.
Otero was at the Boston Pool Hall
earlier in the evening. 1t is thought
that the robbers saw his roll at that
time and laid for him. He could not
identify either of them.

AGGREGATE
Winslow is having an event
full year in building activities

Despite the facts that the South
west has not recovered from the de-
preston and that many cities have
had big slump, Winslow with it's
stable business conditions is having
great year in building activities
The total expenditure thus far this
year for buildings which have been
completed or are under construction
exceeds $92,000.00. This is an enor-
nous amount for a town of the size
of Winslow, considering the adverse
business conditions which are gener-
al throughout the Southwest.
A large number of dwellings were
erected in the city last year to fill
the demand for them. Yet at the
present time there is a pressing
scarcity of houses. Not a day pas
Ses but that the real estate men have
to turn away people who are looking
for dwellings to rent. One can safe
ly say that 25 houses could be erect
ed in the city and that these would
not exceed the demand at present 1t
is almost impossible for the new
conner to rent a yelling when he ar
rives. He has to put his bid in and
wait until there is vacancy
The largest structure that is going
up so far this year is the Elks home,
which will cost $33.500. Olds Broth
ers are the contractors and frost
and frost, the architects. Fred Har-
vey is remodeling the lunch room at
the local house at a cost of $4,000.
Nelson and Sons of Chicago are the
contractors. The local Masonic lodge
is building a new temple to cost
$4,000. Laveson and Solberg are
the contractors City Engineer Ed.
Johnson and e. o. Royce drew the
plans for the structure. Winslow's
city hall has been completed at an
expenditure of $11,021.10. Laveson
and Solberg were the successful bid
ders and built the hall City Engin-
eer Ed. Johnson was the architect.
Among the houses and other build
ings that have gone up during the
summer are the o. A. Brown home
on West Aspinwall costing $3,500;
Mana and Marchello house, $4,000 in
the Kleindienst addition; A. Bawcom
house, $4,000, in the east part of the
city; room and porch addition to the
Gates home, $500; r. H. Brooks, one
story shop, 5000; J. M. Drumm, gar
age, $500; and G. G. Recordon, gar
age, $400.

MRS. 7. \. CARTER
RAN OVER BY CAR

Mrs. T. N. Carter, who is conducting
Four Fold evangelistic meetings here
with Miss Estella Martin, was knocked
down, dragged about twenty-five feet
and run over by a Dodge car said to
be driven by Bill Jarvis of st Johns,
at 1880 Wednesday evening in front
of the Central Drug Company while
the two women were conducting their
meeting.
Mrs. Carter was picked up and car
ried into the Central drug store. She
was later able to take part in the
services at the Pastime Theater.
Jarvis stopped his car about 25
feet from where the women were con-
Quoting their meeting on the street
and started to create a disturbance
He was drunk and abusing everyone
who came near him. Several people
including his brother Jesse, who was
in the machine, tried to persuade
him to behave himself, but he con-
tinued to vent his abuse.
Officer PembertOn, who was called,
went up to the side of the car to talk
to Jarvis. The latter hit the officer
with his fist and then threw the
Machine, which was running, in low
The car shot forward to Mrs. Carter
with a jump and would have crushed
her against the street curb if Jesse
had not grabbed the steering wheel
and turned it around causing the
machine to miss the curb.
AS it was the car struck Mrs. Car
ter on the right side and violently
knocked her to the pavement. AS the
machine moved forward it dragged
haY oh afry& &xY1
then ran over her body. Jarvis ap-
parently shifted to intermediate while
he was dragging his victim, and be-
fore anyone could get to him he escap
ed speeding west on Second street.
Officer Pemberton followed as soon
as he could in Charles Murphy's car
but lost sight of the machine.
Sheriff Divelbess of Holbrook was
notified, and he with Deputy-Sheriff
Williams drove to Winslow arriving
here about 9:2O. The officers sent
messages to the surrounding towns
and secured the city Wednesday night
locking for Jarvis.
Mrs. Carter sent word to the Mail
Thursday that she was not injured
seriously. 1t is almost miraculous
that she escaped without serious in
jury.
Jarvis was to fight Castillo in the
main event of the boxing carnival
held Wednesday night at the Opera
House. He is a graduate of the Uni
versity of Utah, and while there h
gained a name for himself as a leath-
er pusher winning the championship
of Utah in his class. He has been
teaching school at Showlow this term
When Jarvis made his escape, he
went to Holbrook where he gave him
self up to the officers of that town.
He was brought back to Winslow
Thursday and arraigned before the
justice of the peace. Waving preli-
minary investigation he was bound
over to the Superior court. His bond
was fixed at $1,000. The complaint
charged him with driving car when
intoxicated, resisting an officer and
failing to stop and give aid and as
sistance to the person whom he ran
over.

FIRE CAUSES SERIOUS LOSS
At 4lO WEST FRONT Street

Fire which is thought to have start
ed from defective electric wiring al
the old Gates home, 40 West Front
street, broke out about II o'clock a
week ago Thursday night and partly
destroyed the house, causing damage
estimated at $4,000. The quick arriv-
ment saved the property from COM
plete destruction as we'll as the ad-
joining house, the Dye home, which
was scortched by the flames
Mrs. w. E. Galbreath, OCCUPYING the
front apartment of the Gates house
discovered the flames and woke Mr.
and Mrs. J. H. Embry, who rented
the home and who were sleeping in
the room adjoining the kitchen, which
was afiame. They hurried from the
burning building in their night cloth
es; and while Mrs. Embry ran to the
next door to call the fire department
Mr. Embry started to remove the
furniture.
In the meantime Miss Julia Dye,
asleep in a room in her home ad-
joining the blazing dwelling, was
awakened by the cracking of the
flames, and she turned in the fire
alarm.
When the department arrived few
r'inutes later, the back part OF the
building was flaming forge. Aided
by a number of volunteers, the fire.
men got the blaze under control and
soCn put it out.
Mrs. Calbreath, who aroused Mr..
and Mrs. Embry, said that she was
expecting her husband, a brakeman,
to come in from his run and that she
had not gone to bed when she discOv-
cred that the house was afire. About
II o'clock she heard the whistle of
an engine and went to the front win
dow of her apartment to look out
thinking that the train might be the
local on which her husband was run
ming. She noticed that there was a
glare around the house, and she went
to the side, window to see what it
was. 1t was then that she saw the
house was ablaze.
An electric meter was recently in
stalled On the back porch of the
dwelling, and this is where the fire
started 1t is thought that defective
wiring caused the flames.
T. E. Herman recently purchased
the Gates home as an investment,
spending good deal of money re-
pairing and refurnishing the dwelling
He carried some insurance on the
property but not enough to cover the
loss Most of the furniture was saw
ed, but the house is in bad condition
and will need many repairs before it
can be occupied.
In speaking about the fire Mr.. En-
bry said that the fire department de-
served to be commended for its prompt
response to the alarm and its good
work in fighting the flames.
