JOSE GARCIA
SUCCUNbS TO
GUN WOUNDS

Frank Garcia, who was arrested
March 2 for shooting Jose Garcia on
the Southside, was arraigned in the
Justice court Tuesday afternoon and
his preliminary hearing set for
March 81. The hearing was set the
last Of March so that Joe Garcia,
who is reported to be recovering
at hospital in Albuquerque, may
be able to attend and act as a
complaining witness in the case.
The defendant is charged with
assault in an attempt to commit
murder. He was released on bail.
Jose Garcia is said to have told
relative in Albuquerque that he
was attacked by several men at a
house on the Southside. He is also
said to have made statement that
Frank Garcia invited him out of the
house and into the street where
Frank Garcia shot him in cold blood
When questioned by local officers
following the shooting Frank Garcia
asserted that Jose invited him out
of the house, grabbed him by the
shirt and told him to hand over his
money Refusing to do so he alleges
that Jose struck him in the face;
whereupon he pulled his gun and
fired two shots at his assailant
Both bullets inflicted serious wounds.
Frank Garcia's shirt was torn show
ing that some pne had evidently
grabbed him and his face was bruised
apparently the result of a blow.
Local officers are inclined to put
more credence in Frank Garcia's
story than in that of the wounded
man. It is an open secret that
Frank Garcia has had his money
taken away from him on three diff
ferent occasions when be came to
Winslow after receiving his pay.
Deputy Sheriff Walker received a
yesterday from Albuquerque
stating that Joe Garcia had died that
from his wounds. It is ex-
pected that Frank Garcia will now
be charged with manslaughter

Men and women, trailblazers of
civilization who came to Arizona in
the early days and remained to see
the struggling little and of hardy
pioneers develop a cheerless waste
into a fertile and productive region
in which thousands have found
homes, health and happiness, will be
the guests of honor at the fourth
Annual Pioneers Reunion sponsored
by The Arizona Republican April 8
and 9.
Not only are the pioneers of the
Salt River valley to be invited but
those hardy pioneers of other sec
tions of the state will also gather in
Phoenix to meet old friends and ex-
change "reminiscences of the days
when the howl of the coyote and
the yell of the hostile Indians who
roamed the state were common
sounds which broke the stiffness of
the desert nights.
For four years the Arizona Re
publican has sponsored the annual
reunion and has received the pio-
neers of the state as it's own guests
and now greater preparations are
being made than ever before for the
event which has become one of the
biggest jubilees of the year.
Already the program committee is
busily ENGAGED in formulating an en-
tertainment program, which mem
bers of the committee declare will
be better in every respect than ever
before. Every feature of the pro
gram will be along the lines which
the pioneers knew in the days of
their youth. Old fashioned fun and
entertainment are assured the plo-
neers who attend the affair which is
for every resident of Arizona who
has lived in the state for 35 years.
The only thing modern about the
program will be the automobiles
which viii bear the oldtimers to an
from Riverside park where the cele-
hration will be held again this year.
The automobiles will pick up the
pioneers at The Republican office
and take them to the park and when
the days activities are over will take
them to their stopping places in the
citv. All this will be free to the
pioneers.
Old Fashioned Barbecue
The feature of the affair will hn
real old fashioned 'Down South"
barbecue dinner such as many of the
''trail blazers" remember as the out
standing events of their lives when
they were younger. The services cf
one of the best barbecue cooks who
ever came to Arizona has already
been secured by The Republican and
the pioneers are assured of one of
the best "feeds" that has ever been
served in the Salt River vallev
There is only one qualification and
that is that every person attending

CASA Grand MONUMENT
HAS INTERESTING RUINS

Twenty-nine National Monuments,
established by presidential proc
lamations, are administered as
part of the National Park System
by the Department of the Interior
through the National Park Service.
These monuments reserve to the
people of the United States historic
landmarks, historic and prehistoric
structures, and other objects of hist
oric or scientific interest. This is
the seventh of a series of articles
concerning the National Monuments
issued weekly by the Interior Depart
ment
Casa Grande National Monument
This reservation consists of 480
acres of land lying in the south
central part of Arizona at an altitude
of l, 422 feet and is a typical spot
of desert scenery, being level ground
on the floor of the Gila Valley,
covered with a growth of mesquite,
creosote, and salt bush.
The Casa Grande or "Great House"
is a burnt-out, dismantled group of
sold adobe walls of a great building
which was at one time four stories
in height. The standing walls are
6 feet thick at their base. The first
recorded European to visit this sec
tion was Father Eusebio Francisco
Kino, builder of the Tumacacori
Mission, who passed here in 1894
and wrote description of the ruins,
which then must have been standing
for over two centuries in about the
same condition as they are found to-
day. In addition to the great build

RIVER PACT TO
BE VOTED UPON

The American Legion of Arizona
will back the plan Of Mulford Winsor,
president of the state senate, to
submit to the people of Arizona this
year the proposition of ratifying or
rejecting the Colorado river compact.
This was made known Monday at
the meeting of the Legionaires held
in Phoenix.
In introducing Winsor, State Com
mander Southworth said: "The Amer
lean Legion has been sold on the
immediate ratification of the Colo
RADIO river compact. Now, just what
can We Legionnaires do, Senator, to
further the cause?
In reply to the commanders query
Winsor stated that petitions are in
preparation to refer the compact to
the people of Arizona at the next
general election, and that he was
aiding those in charge of the petit
tions. He added:
at is here and now my purpose
to see that initiative petitions are
placed in circulation at once-these
petitions are now being prepared
and the members of the Legion can
be of great assistance in securing
signatures. True, the vote of the
people would be entirely advisory,
for under the terms of the compact
it must be ratified by the legislatures
of the several states and by congress,
but in my Judgment it is necessary
to obtain such an advisory vote, and
I am at a loss to understand why
this step has not sooner been taken
by the opponents of the pact.

STEEPLE JACK PAINTS
WINSLOW FLAG POLES

Winslow flag poles are sporting a
new coat of paint.
H. 4. Clifton of Ontario, California,
one of the eight registered steeple
jacks in the United States, is the
man who bedecked them. Mr.. Cliff
ton has followed his perilous occu-
patton for the past seventeen years,
and during this time he has done
some of the biggest jobs in his
trade. He placed the gold leaf on
the cupola of the Colorado state ca
pitol at Denver, the biggest gold
leaf job in the world. He also
placed the angel Maroni on the top
of the Mormon temple at Salt Lake
City. This was an extremely diff
cult undertaking as well as a most
dangerous one.
Mr.. Clifton has risked his life con-
tinually during the years that he
has followed his trade, and although
it may seem strange he has never
had a serious fall. In fact, he says
that he does not take the risks that
a pedestrian takes on the streets of
our cities. However this may be,
the insurance companies, which are
pretty good judges of risks man
takes in his occupation, refuse to write
him policy. And it is very doubt
full indeed that many of the pedestri-
ans in the streets would trade places
with him as they see him swaying
in the air high up above them.
Although most of US would wonder
how Mr.. Clifton could get to the
top of the flag pole at the high
school since there is nothing at the
top to pull him up. He said that
it is one of the easiest to negotiate.
And those who happened to see him
climb it were quick to admit that it
was easy enough for him. In paint
ing flag pole like that at the high
school the steeple jack uses two
double bitches to climb the pole, each
independent of the other. With the
ropes hitched around the pole he
sits in the upper one and puts his
feet in the lower. Resting his body
on first the upper and then the lower
he moves the ropes up, and as they
go up he moves with Shem. He says
that he can tell by the vibration in
ascending a flagstaff whether it is
likely to break.
The steeple jack painted four flag
poles in Winslow, the one belonging
to the city and the three at the
He said that the one at the
high school is one of the best and
that there are very few like it in
the country He called it an iron
telescope.
When asked whether he had a
buddy travelling with him, Clifton
said that the steeple jacks were not
allowed to travel together any more.
He remarked that in the old days it
was customary for two to travel
together, one preceding the other
a few days. When the first COM
pleted his job in a town he would
pull the ropes out of the flag-pole
pulleys and would beat it. His COM
panion coming on the scene a few
days later would get the job of re-
them.
Clifton is working east to New
York.

ELkS HOME WILL BE
COMPLETED APRIL Is

Winslow lodge of the Benevolent
soon have a new home, the best and
most modern home of the organiza-
ton in northern Arizona. The struct-
ure, which will cost approximately
$4,000. without furniture, is rapidly
nearing completion and should be
ready to turn over to the lodge about
April Is, according to the contractors,
Olds Bros.
A dedication committee has been
appointed to make arrangements for
the opening of the home which will
be a very elaborate affair. 1t is
expected that hundreds of EIks from
all parts of Arizona as we'll as the
adjoining states will attend the cere-
monies and the social functions to
be given at that time. The dedi-
cation committee is composed of r.
B. Eastman, B. B. Neel, Charles F.
Dare, o. L. Gray, Robert Fenton
and D. S. Bailey.
All the rough work Of the building
has been completed, the plasterers
having finished their contract the
first of the week. Carpenters are
now engaged on the inside trim and
wood work, and the interior deco
rators are also on the job. The
floors will be laid within the next
two weeks.
When the home is completed, it
will be a great improvement for our
city and one that the members can
point to with pride. The home will
be a credit to town three times
the size of Winslow.

INFORMATION GIVEN
ON Tree PLANTING

From reports that are being made
to the public-school teachers, the
tree-planting contest, fostered by the
Woman's club in it's policy OF furth-
ering civic improvement, is creating
much interest among the pupils,
many of whom have already planted
several trees in an effort to win the
ten-dollar prize.
The contest is open to any boy
or girl of the grade schools and will
close on April so. Trees planted
between the sidewalks and the streets
will receive double credit. Each con-
testant is required to name each tree
he plants and to report it to his
teacher. Trees planted in neighbors'
yards will also count in the contest.
A committee of the Woman's club
will inspect all trees planted and will
award the prize on September 27.
In order to insure the successful
growth of trees, Mrs. H. E. Young
has contributed some valuable infor-
nation on the planting and care OF
them. Pupils will have more success
by following her directions. From
her experience Mrs. Young has found
that cottonwood, locust and silver
maple will do better in Winslow than
other varieties. Cottonwood and
silver maple can be grown from the
tree trimmings if the ground is kept
loose and one bucket of water is
poured around the tree each day.
Soap water is the best fertilizer.
Manure should not be used in plant
ing, but a little may be spaded
around the tree, though one must be
careful not to let it touch the trunk.
In planting flowers and vegetables
the ground should be pulverized,
leveled and thoroughly soaked with
water before the seeds are sown.
The seeds should not be covered
with soil, but with fertilizer to
depth of a half inch and should be
kept we'll sprinkled, letting the water
fall gently on the bed. When the
trees and the plants. have a good
start, the ground should be thorough
ly soaked and not sprinkled lightly,
as the sun and air take most of the
moisture
Rose shoots will do better if the
soil is banked high around them and
kept we'll soaked with water When
the shoots have good. start the
soil should be taken away gradually
from the east and north sides, leav-
ing the bank on the south and west
sides for a protection against the
prevailing winds. It is we'll to leave
the latter sides banked until the rainy
season. Roses need more water than
any other plants in this climate.
If quart of broken bones is buried
at a depth of sixteen inches where
the rose shoots are placed, they will
grow more rapidly. The bones act
as fertilizer and also aid in drain
age Weak manure water. about the
color of white wine. should be put
on the sprouts while they are
starting.
Silver maple is the more desirable
tree for yards while the cottonwood
is better for planting between the
sidewalks and the streets, the latter
giving more shade.
SPRING
I am coming, / am coming
Ho! the little bee is humming
See, the lark is soaring high
In the blue and sunny sky;
All the birds are on the wing
Wheeling round the airy ring.
Turn thine eyes to earth and home
God for thee the spring has given
Taught the birds their melodies
Clothed the earth and cleared the skies
For thy pleasure or thy food;
Pour thy soul in gratitude.

use of the first event that gave him
opportunity. 1t came about in this
way:
After the holiday rush he had been
left n evening to close the store. He
had put things to rights and closed the
safe upon the proceeds of the days
business and was about to extinguish
the last light when he became con-
scious that he was not alone in the
place. The next moment he felt the
pressure of a revolver barrel upon his
side and heard a firm, hard voice in
struct him to hold up his hands.
AS his next experience he was
marched into the little office and
urged to open the safe. AS he spun
the knob that controlled the combina-
ton he made a rapid survey of his
with his mind while he
still fumbled with the numbers of the
lock. He could think of nothing
worth trying until there flashed upon
him the memory of a certain trick by
which he had once overthrow his
adversary in a wrestling match. He
still had the muscle of an athlete and
the short stairway up to the desk
favored his plan. With a lightning-like
movement he displaced the weapon
and sent his captor backwards down
the stairs. Whirling to defend himself
he was surprised to find no further
attack from the robber and upon
examination he found that with a
broken neck the thief had lost all
power to do further mischief.
Sol thus became quite the neigh
oorhood hero. People began TO put a
new estimation upon him. He was
promoted to a position in the factory,
the output Of which the store had
ueen handling. From that, sterling
business qualities carried him to a
partnership. Today his name is upon
the sign that advertises the business,
and there in full. Solomon Sample us
likely tt become the whole piece. All
because he discovered himself aAl
was found in the emergency thai
called for a real man. So it proved
that Soils new leaf was a gold leaf.
