people have lost one or several mem ,
bers of their families. In Kamakura
they say that there are 500 dead pc

hardly been time to find out the
truth.
Yokohama is practically all burned
up after being shaken down. To-Day
Mr.. Matsuo (the pastor of the Pres
byterian church. whose home was IN
Yokohama) arrived and we find his
family is all right. He lived in the
small section not burned.
"Our home is total wreck with
everything in it. Everything Is gone

There is no way to get away from

RAINS DELAY TRAVELLING

Heavy rains this week have delay
ed somewhat the movement of trains
and travelling by automobile. Wash
outs occurred on the Santa Fe at
Angel and between this place and
Cosnino on Monday, A freight train
was also derailed between Cosnino
and Winona on that day. There were
small washouts between ST. Joseph
and Holbrook and between the latter
place and Adamana
Trains l, p and of Tuesday were
held here until Thursday morning
when the track was ready for opera
ton.
Others trains were diverted south
by way of Phoenix.
The Santa Fe repaired the wash
outs in record time and thus prevent
ed much delay in the movement of
trains
Highways both east and west of
Winslow were in bad condition for
couple of days, but are now in
much better shape

.ELKS HOLD INITIATION
FOR CLASS OF SEVEN

Seven men were initiated into the
Elks order September 13 at special
meeting called for that purpose. The
new members are: Sam J. Pitchard
n Ray Snee Frank R. Felsch, Harry
C. Gray, Frank NJ Beckwith, John w
Bean and Reuben E. Cooper.
A large number of the brothers
turned out for the meeting. After
the ritualistic and the degree work
was over, the members enjoyed a
tasteful luncheon.
The local lodge now has $50 mem
bers. Considering the population of
Winslow and few people living in the
surrounding country, this number
shows the phenomenal growth in the
local order. Few lodges of any other
fraternal organization can boast of
so high a percentage of the popula-
tion as that of Winslow. Not only
has the local fraternity had most
rapid growth, but also the Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks through
out the United States of America.
Probably no fraternal organization
that ever existed has grown so rapid
ly and has been so successful as the
Elks order.

Third annual MEETING
OF ARIZONA DAILY NEWS
PAPER ASSOC IATION

The Third Annaul Conference of
the Arizona Daily Newspaper AssO-
citation, held Monday and Tuesday of
this week at Flagstaff, was attended
scribes from all parts of the state,
and in the opinion of the members
present, was by far the foremost
gathering of its kind since the organ
izatiOn of the association.
Col. Fred Breen, of the CoconinO
Sun, who was host to the visiting
editors, had prepared splendid pro-
gram of entertainment, the chief fea-
lures being addresses by prominent
citizens of Flagstaff and the state.
The Hon. l. B. Koch, of Flagstaff, de-
livered the address Of welcome, while
the addresses of Dean Scarlet, of
Pl oenix, F. A. Jones, of Phoenix
Albert NJ Atwood, nationally known
magazine writer who has been making
his home in Flagstaff for the past
year, and members of the association,
made an excellent and instructive
speaking program.
1t was unanimously voted to accept
the invitation of H. R. Sisk, of the
Nogales Herald, and the Southern
Pacific De Mexico railroad company,
to meet in Nogales the latter part of
January, at the conclusion of which
the newspaper men of the state will
make a journey down the west coast
of Mexico 1t is anticipated that
every publication in the state will be
represented
The Mohave County Miner, of King
man, and the Holbrook Tribune, of
Holbrook, were welcomed into the
association at the Flagstaff conven-
ton.
The trip to northern Arizona was
the first visit of many of the Arizona
editors, who no doubt returned to
their homes with a broader concep-
ton of the wonders with which this
section of our state has been endowed

mission to use the entire issue of this
paper for this article, one cannot

however, aside from all the home
cooked delicacies (and they ran the
whole gamut of gastric joy from cake
to cheese) there was fried chicken

FIRST CITY SCHOOL
BUILT ON SOUTHSIDE

In another section of this issue will
be found a cut, the intention being to
show the first school building here,
but as a matter of fact, it was the
second instead of the first school
building in Winslow Later informa-
ton disclOses the fact that the first
original building utilized for educa-
tional purposes in Winslow was built
in 1885, and was located across the
Santa F'e tracks, from the main part
Of town. This building was simply a
little straight up and down board af-
fair and the first teaching personnel
consisted Of Mr.. Carr, who later
was engaged in the cattle business
here, and eventually moved back East
The second teacher was Miss Drew,
who afterwards married Frank Arm
strong, an engineer here The scho-
lastic population at this time consist
ed of less than dozen pupils. Messrs.
Ed. Sawyer and J. F. MahOney pack
ed on their shoulders part of the lum-
Der for the construction of the first
school house here. 1t is understood
that this material was obtained from
surplus supply owned by the old
Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Co., but
whether this material was obtained
by their permission, and paid for, has
been lost in the mazes of the good
old days"
Another "high light that occurred
in the founding of this city's educa-
tional system is the story of how the
old Grammar School, or what is now
called the Junior High School, came
to be erected and was put, to use AS
the story was told to us, a meeting
was called of all the citizens residing
here, in the early eighties, to see if
it was advisable to issue bonds to
the amount of seven thousand five
hundred dollars to build a new school
house. Mr.. Ed. Sawyer was chairman
of this meeting and after due discus
sion it was decided to issue the bonds
Within the next few days the opposi-
