HOSTILE PAVING FACTIONS IN
CLASH; IMPROVEMENT CONTESTED

through regardless of the wishes of
the citizens, and it did appear from
some of the talk and questions that
there was fear of that kind on the
part of some of the protestors. The
councilmen sought to assure the citi-
zens that they were not trying to do
anything of that kind
G. G. Hall, of the Hall Lumber Co.
made one of the best and most SEN
sib.e talks of the evening, holding
his poise and good temper in spite
of the Interruptions he was subjected
to by some of the ladies present. He
made a fair and reasonable defense
of our city council, calling attention
to the fact that they were giving their
time and attention to the city with
out any recompense whatever, Suf-
fering the criticisms and often unjust
imputations of citizens who thought
they were dishonest and trying to put
over things that the citizens did not
want. He commended the present
council as being the best that the
city of Winslow had ever had, and
the only one that had seemed to have
enough interest and pride in the city
to try to put through some city i'm
provements which the city sadly
needed He said he believed in the
honesty, integrity, and good inten-
tions of the councilmen, and thought
that the citizens should deal fairly
with them as he believed they wish
ed to do with the citizens. He said
he favored the paving but that he did
not wish to have it if a majority of
the interested citizens did not want
it. He did not favor giving the paw
ing job to the Warren Brothers be-
cause he thought their prices too
high.
The favorable comment on the pre-
sent council, spoken by Mr. Hall, is
we'll deserved and the citizens should
give expression to their appreciation
as well as to voice their criticisms
when the council does something of
which they do not approve.
Councilman McGregor assured the
citizens that the council was going
to give everybody a square deal, that
everything must be done and would
be done on the square and above
board, and these remarks of Mr.. Nc
Gregor seem to meet the hearty ap-
proval of the crowd.
One thing about which there seem
ed to be some doubt and uncertainty
was a second period Of fifteen days
in which to protest after the bids
were received for the paving. It
seems the Mayor so understood it and
had told others that such was the
case. The question was raised and
the protestors wanted to be assured
as to this second period of protesta
tion. Mr.. McGregor, in his talk, said
the council had given out this i'm
preston and would stick by it. The
discussion Of the paving question was
dismissed by the Mayor at this point
and the status of the proposition is
still to be determined by an examina
tion of the protesting petition
The council then took up the mat
ter of fencing an addition to the city
cemetery given to the city by Judge
Mahoney, and arrangements were
made for the Mayor, Mrs. Mahoney,
and others interested to go out to the
new addition and take up the matter
of including it within the cemetery.
The council then adjourned.

RARE CYPRESS TREES
FOR CAPITAL GROUNDS

Sixteen Italian cypress trees have
been planted in a double row along
the front approach to the state CAPT
tol building.
The trees were obtained from the
foreign plant department of the fed
eral bureau Of agriculture by Custo-
dian j. A. Keene of the Capital
building.
The idea for their planting and ar
rangement was taken from the land
scape gardening of the Tai Mahal
tomb at Agra India which has often
been described as the most beauti-
full building in the world.
A single specimen of the tree which
has grown for several years on the
capital grounds has reached height
of aobut eighty feet The branches
do not at any point extend over a
radius of eight feet, and the tree
presents picture to the eye like that
of splendid colonade of living green

who said if thou, wilt thou canst
make me Clean" the ten lepers, and
the blind men near Jericho. He then
sroke of the gift" or gifts of heal
ing" and raised the question as to
whether this was temporary, being
given for a specific purpose during
the time of Christ and his apostles
and immediate disciples, for the es-
tabllShing of the Word and authority
OF Christ, or was meant to be per-
manent, a gift or gifts to be used to
the end of time. He gave it as his
own view and belief that these were
special gifts given for that time and
purpose-the establishing of the Word
and church, and that they had ceased
with the close of the apostolic age,
being no longer needed for the pur-
pose for which they were given He
spoke of the comparison between the
miracles of healing by Christ and his
apostles and the so-caled miracles
of healing of the present day, and
said he did not think it favorable
comparison at all, that the healings
of the present day were insignificant
compared to those wrought by Jesus
and his apostles.
The pastor then proceeded to give
attention to some questions which he
had pronounced. Speaking on the
question of how DR.. Coue accom-
plishes his cures, he gave the doctors
own explanation that he does it
through auto-suggestion or the ina
gination. His two basic principles
are: First-"Every idea we hold in
our minds whether good Or bad be-
comes reality within the range Of
Il
power that heals you but imagina-
ton" He does not claim any spe-
cial power or that he is an extraor-
dinary man with extraordinary pow
ers, and that he teaches people to
heal themselves by means of the pow
er or ability they have within them
selves through auto-suggestion. He
holds to the psychological theory of
the subconsciOus mind and that ex-
plains why he uses the well-known
phrase, DAY by day, in every way,
I am getting better and better" He
has his patients say this over and
over just before going to sleep and
the subconscious mind takes it up
and works on it during the time the
patient is asleep. Therein is the
benefit of the phrase, the subconscious

upon the body in a beneficial way.
AS to the difference between DR..
Coues method and that of Christian
Science, Mrs. Mcpherson and others,
he said that Dr.. Coue worked along
sound psychological lines, claiming
nothing miraculous or supernatural
for his cures, and advising his pat
tents in contagious or organic cases
to consult the doctor and at the same
time work with him, while Christian
Science healers, Mrs. Mcpherson and
other so-called healers claimed their
cures were of a miraculous or sup
ernatural nature, and advised their
patients to have nothing to do with
doctors. 1t was at this point that
his critic seemed to find most fault
with the pastor.
On the question as to whether we
should expect miracles of healing to-
day like those performed by Christ
and his apostles. the pastor, said he
thought not, as he had already said.
AS to depending upon doctors or only
upon God or upon both for healing
of the body, he said he thought we
should depend upon both, that we
should use such help as God had put
at our disposal.

SPECIAL SESSION LOOMS BIG
AS LEGISLATURE NEARS CLOSE

The House resumed the considera-
ton Of the general appropriation bill
on Tuesday afternoon. The tenta
tive budget bill had been replaced
by the bill introduced by the appro-
priations committee, and the latter
bill was the basis of operations on
the appropriations.
Rep. Mckay served notice on the
House that she would oppose the
committee bill throughout because of
the heavy slashes made in salaries
and wages of minor employees in the
committees bill She took the stand
il there was to be educti)l in
wages, that the "cut should begin at
the top and not at the bottom
She was backed in her position in
talks made by Reps. Mayes, Rogers,
French and Householder. The anti
wage-cut element were evidently in
minority, and the reduction of
wages policy for minor employees
was generally carried out, with Reps.
Wisener, Smith and Speaker Jones
making the principal addresses in
favor of reducing the wages of state
employees, where same are not fixed
by statute.
The state fair, which was eliminat-
ed in the committees appropriation
bill, was saved by valiant struggle
of the Maricopians. The appropria-
ton of the original bill for the fair
for the next two years was placed
back in the committee bill
Rep. Bradshaw made a successful
effort in favor of the move to reduce
the salaries of all stenographers.
Afterwards when the item was
reached in the bill appropriating
$500 annually to the state univer-
sity for the determination of inju-
rious rodents was reached, Rep.
Bradshaw succeeded in getting a ma
ton across doubling the amount spe-
Gifted in the bill.
Rep. Bradshaw explained his vote
by saying that last year he lost a
considerable sum through the dep
relations of jack rabbits. He want
ed the appropriation for their exter-
mination increased and got it.
The shoe was on the other foot.
This is fairly representative sam
pie of the attitude on legislation of
a large portion of the agricultural
representation in the legislature.
Rep, Copeland's district was a
large loser from the pest of prairie
dogs, he said, and the appropriation
should be therefore increased. Ste
nogs could get along on 25 per cent
reduction.
An interesting comparison of val
ues as placed on different things by
the House is found in the following
amounts included in the committee S
appropriation bill:
For control of rodents. 100000; for
sheep sanitary board, Qargely for
control of scabes in Sheep, $4,000 :;
for the eradication of tuberculosis
in cattle. $250O0 FOR THE ENTIRE,
STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO
LOOK AFTER THE HEALTH OF
HUMAN BEINGS, $16,110.

hour in debating an amendment to

scribe to the ll-established doctrine
that "the labor of human being is
not commodity"
In urging the slash in the wages
of minor employees, Rep. Wisner said
that $1,S00 stenogra pliers should not
be cut to $1,000 year, but to $1,000
year. Plenty of them would like
to have the job at that price. Why
pay more?' he queried.
Rep. Smith said that $3.50 a month
was too much to pay stenographer
why, they make more than a farm
er does he exclaimed.
Far be from us to furnish any pro-
paganda unwittingly for the reduc-
tion of the earnings by the sweat of
their brOWs of even a farmer.
But in the language OF our friends,
Rep. Bernard, Democratic whip of
the House, if some of the members
are not better performers as agri-
as farmers they would be "de bunk

i) would be too dammuch.
Gov Hunt on Tuesday vetoed the
bill which had passed both Houses,
removing the educational test from
citizens sixty years of age who have
lived in Arizona for over 35 years
The bill was aimed at the enfran-
chlsement of certain citizens of Mex
lean descent in the northern part of
the state, who do not read or write
English.

$12,ooo,ooo TO be EXPENDED BY
D. 4 r. q. BY END OF 1924

Since taking over the road July %,
1922, the receiver of the Denver &
Rio Grande Western has expended ap-
proximately $7,75O.OOO, and it is ex-
pected that by the end of the year an
expenditure Of $14,OO0,000 will have
been authorized, Of which sum $12,-
000, 900 will have been spent. All this
amount is being spent for improve
ments on the road, either for increas-
ing the safety of operation or improv-
ing its ability to render prompt eff
cient service to patrons.
Over half million has been spent
for purposes Of safety on various parts
of the road, $1,083,34 has been used
for the improvement of the service,
81. 6.001, ,525 for new equipment. OF this
sum the Western Slope will receive
} a large share, including $2S,OOO for
extensions to the yards at Salida and
nearly $4,000 for improvements to
fnthe Grand Junction yards. Over $780,
900 has been spent on the extension
of passing tracks between Delta and
Grand Junction. About two and a
half million is to be spent on the gen.
Pueblo, Salida, Grand Junction, Ala
mosa and Salt Lake City, which will
greatly facilitate handling Of freight
and reduce the amount of rolling
stock laid up for repairs Work is
now in progress at Grand Junction,
Denver and Salt Lake City.
Practically all of the new equipment
which has been purchased will be de-
livered by September 1st, according
| to present plans and will be avail
able for use in the fall business. Ten
Mikado narrow gauge locomotives are
included in the list and as these en-
gines are approximately 20 per cent
more powerful than now in use, it is
expected that freight business be-
tween here and Salida will be handled
more efficiently.
| Bridges will be rebuilt between Del
ia and Somerset this year, at a cost
of 100000 approximately. Seventy
pound rails will be laid between Pom
cha Junction and Marshall Pass, at a
cost of about $4,000. which will add
to the safety and improvement of the
service in that section.
| All of this activity on the part of
the Denver & Rio Grande Western
receiver is hailed with enthusiasm not
only because of the assurance of i'm
proved service and safety, but because
it means that there will be work for
a large number of men and that thous-
ands of dollars will be spent in addi-
tion to what has already been expend-
ed on the Western Slope

Day without heating boilers created a
demand for a more satisfactory kino
OF heating. Then the circulating
type of gas water heater was invent
ed. The first model coisisted of a
cylindrical metal packet in which
was q cast iron section through
which the water flowed. Beneath the
section was a gas burner. This work.
cd we'll and is still on the market.
But the type changed to the more
popular copper coil in which 20 feet
Of pipe can be heated at once when
coiled above the water heating burn
or. The only objection IS hat the
gas must DO turned on when hot wa.
ter IS needed and then turned off
to rave expense, n~ecessitating some
n keeping their y on the hot
water.
Speed and convenience of the mod.
ern 6 brought the demand to have
hot water for everyone at once, with
no "fooling'' with the gas fire neces.
sary. Hence the automatic water
heater sprung into being.
To Edwin Ruud we nre indebted
for the first patents and manufacture
OF an automatic heater. He came
here from Norway in 1880 and work
ed at engineering in Philadelphia. He
began to manufacture the heaters in
1895 in Pittsburgh after some exper.
imenting in tho Westinghouse shops.
The underlying principle Invented by
Ruud are still in force in the mod.
ern equipment.
Storage TYPO System.
The storage type IS really a hot
water system based on the idea of
the familiar kitchen range boiler. It
consists OF a tank, heavily insulated
with mineral wool. asbestos or cork
n a copper coil water heater equip
ped with a plot light and automatic
control. When the temperature OF
the water drops below the prsdeter.
mined degree, the gas goes on auto
