AM. LEGION CARNIVAL
ATTRACTING CROWDS

The American Legion Carnival,
which was unable to show Monday
and Tuesday on account of the rains,
is now running every evening and is
drowing large crowds. The Carnival
spirit is surely reigning over Win
slow this week despite the delay
caused by the rainy weather. Almost
everyone in town is visiting the show
grounds each evening to see the many
attractions.
Clark's Greater Shows is surely
living up to it's reputation. The Fer
ris Wheel is doing a capacity busi-
ness and is one of the most popular
attractions. The Fairy Swings are
indeed something different. Winslow's
children are having the time of their
lives riding on them. Anyone who
has seen the little tots cavorting in
the swings can easily see that the
fairies are making hit with them.
Almost all the boys and girls in town
and even the grown people are spend
ing a great deal of time on the
Merry -Go-Round galloping on the
horses. The Pet, Illusion, and Athle-
tic Shows are drawing many people
to see the novel entertainments.
All the concessions are proving to
be among the most popular attrac-
tions, with their unique and worth
while prizes.

COMPLETE MAILING LISTS

To expedite the prompt handling
and mailing OF the immense cir
cuIatiOn of this edition, the Win
slow Mail has secured complete
mailing lists and exact addresses
of all bona fide residents of Apa-
che. Navajo and COcOninO Counties,
and also out of town lists in other
states and sections of the world.
Therefore, the main bulk of the
mailing of this edition will be
handled in this manner and mailed
from this office by this newspaper.
This method was adopted after
considerable time, expense and
trouble, as probably being the best
method of distribution that would
meet with the approval Of all pur-
chasers of additional copies and the
advertisers represented herein. A
few copies are being mailed to
each one of those represented for
their personal and private use, and
the Mail is keeping on hand
limited supply OF additional copies
so that ii any one desires a few
more copies for mailing they may
be obtained upon application to
this office.
Too often an edition of this
character, or similar means of
publicity, is left entirely in the
hands of individuals for circulation
and distribution. This means that
always there is a large number
of Implications in mailing. thereby
cutting down the total circulation
to the detriment of all concerned;
also in many cases he papers are
not mailed properly and sometimes
never mailed, but simply thrown
aside and wasted, and most cer-
tainly a general confusion which
makes for inefficiency. 1t is the
sincere wish of the Mail that every
one concerned get full value for
each dollar expended for publicity
in this edition, and that its pub
licatiOn and distribution be made
as effective and as promptly as
possible. Therefore, the above
men 'ioned method Of distribution
has been adopted.

For pure unadulterated fun and
unrivaled inter-community enjoyment
the Rotary Club picnic held Saturday
afternoon on September 15, at st.
Joseph, Arizona was most certainly
the outstanding social event of the
year in this part of the State. There
can be nothing basically wrong with
this old world as long as represen-
attives of the leading business firms
can get together, forgetting the keen
brain-fagging competition Of the pres
ent. and revert back to the happy
DAYS of boyhood, as did the partici-
pants at this occasion. And especial
ly is this true when business men
from two small communities, some
what rivals for the acclamation of the
world in general, can meet on common
ground, and forget the intolerance
sometimes found as existing concern
ing ones own home town against the
rest of the world
The Rotary Club at Holbrook and
the Rotary Club at Winslow staged
this event at ST. Joseph reaching
the grounds in automoblines from the
respective cities, and accompanied by
the Rotary-annes and Rotarinettes,
or in common parlance the Rotarians
wives and children. AS a primary
feature, both from a standpoint OF
time and also the most popular part
of the festivities, was eats" Wheth-
er those who had the preparation OF
these in hand, had previously figured
that the ordinary business man was
always hungry, or they had simply
been too optimistic in their estimate
of the crowd that would attend, nc
one knows. Suffice it to say, that
everybody ate to the last possible
inch of their capacity (and there
were some large capacities present.

FORMER RESIDENT RETURNS
ON STORE-INSPECTION TRIP

c. H McKillips, Manager of the
Phoenix Store of the J. c. Penney
system, was in Winslow this week
and expressed himself as we'll pleased
with the rather remarkable showing
made by the local Penney Store in
charge of Horace Nay as Manager.
Mr.. McKillips said: Business this
year has shown a steady gain over
that of last. This gain has not been
spasmodic, but steady, showing that
people are in a better way than last
year. We look forward to one of the
best years here in the history of the
local store Business in the Winslow
Store of the J. c.. Penney Co. COM
pares favorably with any other town
in the State where there is a Penney
store located I notice here that the
buying public is optimistic, and the
feeling of unrest that existed year
ago has been entirely dissipated. !
see here that there has been many
improvements, such as paving, build
ing of houses, and numerous other
things, which cOnclusively shows the
faith of local residents in the future
of Winslow That business statewide
is good is shown by the fact that
Phoenix confidently plans to put over
the best State Fair this year that has
ever been held The Penney Stores
are carrying larger stocks now than
ever before Winter prices are prac-
tically the same as a year ago, and
this will be good news to the buying
public, as cotton and raw materials
have been gaining in price"

may buy necessary clothing for very
small sum of money The proceeds
of the sale will be sent to Japan for
relief work Mrs. Hall said that the
rummage sale would serve a double
purpose, it will enable the needy to

JAY PATTERSON LOSES
HIS LIFE IN ATTEMPT
TO WIN $500 WAGER

JAY Patterson, one of the proprie
tors of the Navajo Garage of Hol-
brook and a well-known resident of
this county, was drowned Monday
afternoon in the Little Colorado River
at HolbroOk in an attempt to swim
the stream during the high water.
It is said that Mr. Patterson made
a bet of $500 with Ed Hennessey that
he could swim the swollen stream.
Mr. Hennessey, it is reported, denies
the wager.
Eye witnesses say that Mr.. Patter-
son jumped into the swollen stream.
About half way across he went down
without a struggle and was not seen
again 1t is thought that he was
suddenly struck with cramps as the
water was very cold, and as he was
unable to make a struggle to save
himself or call for help. Several per-
sons, it is said, were near him when
he jumped into the stream, but they
evidently did not take the wager SER
iously
Mr. Patterson, who was an expert
swimmer, has swan the river num-
Der of times during high water, and
he has turned back several times in
attempting to swim the stream when
he saw that he did not have a chance
in battling the current
Two searching parties left Win
slow Tuesday to watch for the body
at the bridge over the river east of
here but nothing was seen of it.
Searching parties from Holbrook have
also been looking for the body along
the river below that place. The water
has been so high that in many places
it has been impossible to get near the
main current of the stream.
Mr.. Patterson leaves a widow and
three children ranging in age from
about four to twelve years. His faith
er and mother, his brothers and his
sisters live at ST. Johns The deceas-
ed man was born at st. Johns and
lived there until about IA years ago,
when he moved to Holbrook He was
elected county treasurer of Navajo
County for two successive terms
Since the last election he and Bill
Williams have run the Navajo Garage
at Holbrook
People who know Mr.. Patterson say
that he filled the office of county
treasurer very successfully, and that
he was a straight forward and honest
business man.
The body of Mr.. Patterson was
found Wednesday afternoon by
searchers about two miles below
Holbrook. The burial took place at
st. Johns Thursday afternoon, ac-
cording to a report No other in
formation is available at this time.

TWO HURT IN CAR ACCIDENT
CAUSED BY KEEN LIGHTNING

Lady Luck was surely on the job
last Sunday and prevented a serious
accident when a Star touring car,
driven by O. Solberg, turned over
twice just this side of the bridge be-
fore entering ST. Joseph Arizona Mr..
Solberg had three passengers with
him, and the accident occurred be-
tween and o'clock Sunday evening.
Due to the fact that the darkness
was intense, the heavy flashes of
lightning were almost binding, and
were the cause of the accident, mo-
mentarily dazing Mr.. Solberg end
causing him to lose control of the
car. The car turned over twice, or
rather spun in mid-air, and aIighted
on it's side. Two Of the three pas
sengers were pinned under the car
and were rescued with the aid of
other passengers from passing car
One passenger received a deep cut
on the arm, while another was pain
fully cut and bruised about the head
and on the hand. First aid was rem
dered Immediately, the whole party
spending the night in st. Joseph
Arizona and returning here the ext
day.

HAVE BEST YEAR IN HISTORY

and generally the live stock business
is showing a decided pickup
Hotels CrOWded-1923 Record Year
In a majority Of cases, requests for
accommodations at the local hostel
ries have been more than could be
filed. Commercial travel is again
normal, and the tourist travel sets a
new high mark this year. With the
roads being improved, making scenic
and historic points more easy of ac-
cess, number of tourists have ex-
pressed themselves as desiring to
make another trip next year and to
bring their friends with them. The
local Harvey House is planning an
extension to take care of increased
business, and there has also been nu-
merous improvements throughout the
rooming houses and hotels in this
city.
Passenger and Freight Traffic Shows
One Third Increase
According to statistics furnished by
the Santa Fe Railway, passenger and
freight traffic is about 30 per cent
greater than last year. The passenger
traffic alone shows even greater in
crease in percentage. The passenger
l6NGuuG I6CSIN6u ny Tie OdQId re mere
during August 1923 was $10,450.O0,
and for August 1922 was only $7,297.-
90. These figures become much more
important when it is understood that
they do not include travel by passes,
and about fifty per cent of all travel
from this point is that obtained on
passes.
Banner Year in Automobile Travel
Perhaps the most enthusiastic, of
the many optimistic notes sounded
among the local business fraternity,
is that shown by facts gathered from
the leading automobile houses here.
These indications point conclusively
to the summary that 1928 has been the
banner year in auto travel, and that
business has grown so fast that it is
necessitating more accommodation
throughout the city. Then too, the
automobile houses report that auto
mobile travellers have more money to
spend this year than they have had
heretofore, and are spending it. The
growth along these lines has been
so great that in some instance bust
ness this year has more than doubled
that of the corresponding period in
1922.

The past year in commercial and
industrial development has been one
Of resurrection, rehabilitation, and re-
suscitation. And today, Northern Ari-
ZOna stands well in the vanguard of
the return to full prosperity and
growth that has been marked in the
State of Arizona during the latter
part Of 1922 and all of 1923 up to
date. The city of Winslow itself takes
it's rank as community in this re-
turning prosperity we'll up in first
division, as the entire number of
pages of this issue most forcibly de-
monstrate However, to be absolu-
out clearly, this publication at the
took census of the leading enter
prises and firms which go to make
up the business fabric of the city of
Winslow.
It was found by actual interview
ing the executive heads of the pro
minent enterprises of this city, that
never before has business generally
been on such a sound and prosperous
basis as is recorded in this the month
of September in the year 1923, and
Thanksgiving this year in Winslow
should be all that the name implies.
Not only has there been an increase
and growth, but this expansion has
been on such a sound and stable
basis as to insure it's steady contin-
uance. There is no false note of
imitation either in business or prices,
that is, or has been, noticed in the
city of Winslow and it's trade ter
ritory. All lines of commercial en-
deavor have we'll founded right to
be very optimistic concerning the
immediate future.
Banks All Show Increase
Latest reports from the three fin
ancial institutions in Winslow indi-
cate that business shows a striking
recovery from last years depression,
