Game Preserve Formed
Along Little Colorado

For the protection of quail, game
preserve comprising three-mile
stretch on both sides of the Little
Colorado river extending from Hol-
brook through Winslow to the Navajo
county line has been formed by the
board of supervisors.
Joe Roth, who took the question of
a preserve up with w. ]. Crozier,
member of the board some time ago,
is making an effort to arrange plans
with interested people of Winslow,
Holbrook and along the river, where
by the protected area will be stocked
with quail. A number of coveys of
quail were introduced along the river
some seven years ago by the state
game warden; the birds, however,
failed to multiply very rapidly due
to the ravages of game hogs.
An effort will be made to secure
proper protection for quail, and if
this is obtained, it is likely that the
preserve will be we'll stocked in the
course of few years.

SANTA FE RAILWAY TRAVEL
EXCEEDS PREVIOUS RECORDS

The travel over the Santa Fe for
October, both east and west-bound,
exceeded all previous monthly records
of the passenger movement to the
Coast, and was 5000 greater than in
October, 1920, which was the high
water mark of tourist business to
California. This is according to an
nouncement given out by Jas. B. Duff
fly, General Passenger Agent of the
lines.
In analyzing this immense travel
to this state it is shown that the ira
vel was 40 per cent above October
last year, west-bound, and rs per
cent heavier east-bOund than for the
same period in 1922.
October not being month during
which tourist rates were effective for
east-bound travel the rs per cent in
crease is pointed to as very good
Illustration of the enormous business
development that is going on on the
coast and also it is indicative, the
officials say, that big affairs relating
to agricultural, industrial and manu-
featuring enterprises, are demanding
the attention of an army of men who
find it profitable to travel between
California and the big centers of the
east while carrying on this steadily
increasing business. o.
The Santa Fe chief also points to
the fact that the number of people
who came to California over that rail-
road from May to and including Sep
tember, this year, was 80 per cent
greater than the travel to this way
for the same period last year. In
fact, it has been shown that all esti-
mates made by the traffic officials as
to the outlook for a big passenger
business this year have been exceed
ed in every case Mr.. Duffy predicts
an even greater increase in the tour
ist and homeseeker travel to this
state for the remaining weeks of this
year, and for all of 1924.

sponded to an encore with "The Flag
Goes By. The little people sang
their songs with not a little zest and
harmony.
Two short talks were then given
by Mr.. j. E. Kyle and Mr.. Grady
Gammage. Mr.. Kyle spoke on educa-
tion as the best and the cheapest in
vestment of civilization. He gave an
interesting report which he and his
economics class compiled on expen-
diture for luxuries in Winslow Mr.
Kyle stated that he did not want to
antagonize any one for buying luxu-
rieS as he himself used them the
same as other people and that, he
like other people, would not do with
out them He added that the report
was not complete but fairly accurate
and that the figures given were less
than the actual amounts spent here
for luxuries
According to his report approxima-
tely $20,80O is spent on moving pic
lures during the year, $25,220 for
candy, $54,100 on soda fountains,
$4,000 for tobacco and $3.50 for dan
ces. The total of these five luxuries
amount to approximately $107,SOO.
Last year $4,000 is spent on the
high school and $55,S31 on the grade
schools. The total expenditure on
the Winslow schools was $77,831.
At the beginning of his talk on the
comparison of cost of education in
Winslow and in other towns of Ari-
zOna, Mr. Gammage pointed out that
more than 100000 was spent on the
five luxuries mentioned by Mr.. Kyle
than was spent on the schools of this
city during the year.
Mr.. Gammage stated that he wa2
not one Of those who believes in pour
ing out money nnstintedly for educa
tion but that he believes in getting a
dollar value for each, dollar spent. He
said that the state pays approximate
ly 25 cents and the county 25 cents
to- this school district for each child
for each day that it is in school. In
case the child is absent this sum is
not paid by the county and the, state.
Mr.. Gammage pointed out that this
school district lost between four and
five thousand dollars last year on ac-
count of absences of students.
In his talk Mr.. Gammage gave some
statistics showing that Winslow has
the lowest high school expenditure of
any town in the state and that the
cost of education here is lower than
any other city in norther Arizona.
After the speeches a two-act play,
called the Naturalization of Mr.. Do
novan", was given by the Junior high
school, This, like the Declaration
of independence" was a pleasing lit
tie skit, all the members of the cast
playing their parts in creditable
manner.
The Loyalty pledge was given by
Marie Hernandez, Margaret Herman
dez and Fela Acosta, the audience
taking part. Following the main ad
dress, which was next in order.
America was sung. Rev. o. L. En-
yeart, pastor of the M. E. Church

WORTHWHILE PROGRAM MARKS.
PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL MEETING.
HELD AT SCHOOL AUDITORIUM.
More Money Spent for Five Luxuries in WinslOw than
for Education, according to Figures Compiled at
High School.

In spite a hitch in the program,
the public mass meeting held in the
Washington school auditorium on last
Saturday evening to conclude the
observance of National Educational
Week was an inspiring and worth
while affair.
H. j. Brooke, prominent business
man of Prescott gave the principal
address. George w. Nilsson, Pres
cott attorney, who was to deliver the
principal speech, was detained at
Yuma on a law suit and was unable
to come here for the meeting.
Although Mr. Brooke had only one
day to prepare his speech, and al
though he touched only few phases
of his "Americanization" talk in de-
ference to his audience on account of
the late hour, his speech will long
remain as an inspiration to those
who heard him. He paid a glowing
tribute to George Washington, both
as man and as the father of this
country. Mr.. Brooks has an easy yet
sincere and earnest manner of ad-
dress, which was very pleasing to
his auditors. In speaking of the first
president of this country, Mr.. Brooks
said: George Washington was an
aristocrat of an aristocrat, but as
has been said it takes an aristocrat
to be democrat Washington,
whose heart and interests were as
for his people and was always loyal
to his country" In concluding his
speech Mr.. Brooks made an earnest
MI h0 ho oo1Z 70 hn
reading of good books.
The program began with several
selections played by the high schoo'
orchestra Much credit is due Mr.
Paul T. Laljedahl and the members
of the organization for the creditable
work that it is doing. One of the
most difficult problems of high school
activities is the development of a
good orchestra among the student
body. Mr. Liljedahl, however, has
accomplished this, as was proved by
the playing of the orchestra.
Following the selections three short
speeches were made by Miss Mary
Dudziak, Miss Evelyn Carver and Mr.
Glenn Evans. All three students
presented very good talks. Miss
Dudziak summarized what the world
would be without education, and
traced the growth of education in
America. Miss Carver spoke on the
Importance and aims of the public
schools. Mr.. Evans summarized the
growth of schools in the United Sta
tes and gave conclusive data on the
value of education
Before Mr. Evans speech a playlet,
Declaration of Independence, was
given by the students from the South
Side school, The actors represented
the great historical characters of the
Revolutionary period. There was a
stirring scene when the radicals

W|NSLOW HIGH TIES
WITH FLAG. NORMAL

Fighting with indomitable courage
against overwhelming odds Winslow
football warriors obliterated the
stigma of their reverses during the
latter part of the season in the
Thanksgiving football classic yester-
day at Flagstaff, and held the mighty
Normal lumberjack eleven to a 6 to 6
tie, according to a message received
last evening from Coach Porter.
Although the game was a tie, the
contest was moral victory for Win
slow High. According to the report,
the local. aggregation outplayed their
heavier rivals at every stage of the
game.
Schaar, right end of the Winslow
squad, made the score for local team
in the first quarter. He caught a
forward pass and sprinted 80 yards
for touchdown.
At the end of the first quarter Win
slow was within two yards of making
second score, which was only fore
stalled by the blowing of the whistle
A heated discussion arose at the
end of the fourth period as to wheth-
er Flagstaff should be allowed anoth-
er touchdown, which was made after
TIM should have been called, accord
ing to the report. Coach Porter stat
ed in his message that this touch
down should not be counted, althogh
the Flagstaff team was af the opposite
opinion.
Winslow's lineup follows: Hensley,
left end; Holm, left tackle; Smith,
left guard; G. Evans, center; Wood,
right guard; Hubbard, right tackle;
Schaar, right end; Tully, left half;
Clark, quarter back; Rushing, full
