From Yuma on Tuesday

of the Yuma National Bank, heading a
party of three cars part of group
Of seven cars on fifteen-days' jaunt
out of Yuma, making the circle around
the scenic parts of the state of Ari-
zona, was in Winslow for a few hours,
Tuesday on his way west.
The party of folks were out doing
a little scouting for Arizona. Their
plea is to see Arizona first. After
taking a view of many of the scenic
beauties of the country they are more
than ever of the view that people are
going to miss a lot of good stuff when
they spend their money t. go to Cali
fOrnia.
The party made tour of the south
first coming through Phoenix, visiting
the Roosevelt Dam, up through
| Cooley, where four cars left for the
east to visit the Springerville COM
munity while the other three came
north to Holbrook and thence to
Winslow. The other members OF the
party will join them later on.
From here they go to Flagstaff
Mormon Lake, out to the Grand Can
yon and thence west and south to
Yuma
The party did some fishing at the
Roosevelt Dam, in the White and
Black rivers, but did not catch a
fish. They were bit put out by the
failure to raise any of the flnny tribe
and had not much to say of fishing
en- route.

A Bit of History of
Local Beauty Spot

Winslow has several beauty spots
that local people have to large de-
gree become familiar with but that
have been created only by consider
able work on the part of a gentleman
who has been located here for some
time.
These spots are the Santa Fe hos
pital and reading room grounds.
One man who had little to do with
the creation of these oases in desert
country is DR.. Brown, in charge of the
Hospital.
A reporter in talking to the doctor
got a little history of the improve
ments that have made these spots
blossom like the rose.
DR.. Brown says when he came here
the old reading room and the hospital
were standing on piling in the old
bed of the Little Colorado river which
years ago ran along the Santa Fe
tracks, south of the right of way
This made the improvement of the
grounds a big task but little by little
the present beauty of the grounds
were attained. He states that work
was started filling in the grounds
and later when the new reading room
was built, the basement excavation
helped fill up the yards of both the
hospital and reading room grounds.
After much filling, he was able to
obtain a carload of black soil from
railroad excavations at Flagstaff and
this black soil was spread over the
fill and at last grass was planted
The grass was planted six years age
and it is now one of the best pieces
of lawn to be found anywhere, period
of growth considered.
Then came the matter of trees
Cottonwoods seemed to be about the
only tree that it was generally agreed
would grow here, but the doctor
happened to notice locust trees grow
ing down near ST. Joe and he figured
they would grow here He decided
to try, so he went down there and
with the help of a resident pulled
from the soil something like 70 young
trees about as large as ones finger
The long taproots came up with them
and he hauleG them here and planted
them, half in the hospital and half in
the reading room grounds. He ost
three of his trees and all but ths.ea
of those planted in the yard just east
died.
1t required some work to get them
growing well but since their planting
about eight years ago, they have made
fine growth and are no longer en-
dangered by drouth. He had two of
them blown down by winds but he
managed to straighten them up and
they now are on steady keel. He

sembly and al the middle-west, three
day chautauQua programs are staged
in towns of 500 people and five-day
programs in towns of from 1900 to
1000 inhabitants.

LOCAL LIGHT PLANT
IMPROVING SERVICE

The Arizona Electric Company is
making some desirable improvements
in their service lines in this city
When they finish in about two
weeks, having already worked three
weeks on the job, the skyline of
Winslow in the paved district is to
be free of poles, customers will have
better service for the reason the COM
pany can better check up with pos
sible service complaint and the pa
irons will be given better service
On Kinsley Avenue and all paved
districts poles have been removed.
Transformers have been changed in
10 cation to points that will enable
the company to more easily locate
trouble if reported by patrons and
the equipment has been bettered in
manner to do away with Overheating
of electric irons and similar power
uses.
The change will also cut down
power losses in transmission from
power plant to point of use. Line
men will require over a month to
make the changes that will rebound
to the profit of both the company and
the patrons and improve the scenic
effect by eliminating poles on the
main thoroughfares.

CHANGE.
OF QUARANTINE.
RULES IN STATE

If the quarantine regulations sepa-
rating this state from California
through the road traffic arteries has
been lifted any, it has not been made
known by the governor.
It was stated in the Sunday Exam
iner that the state of California and
all it's border entrances were open
to traffic without restriction, so far as
that was concerned excepting in a
few points off the main travelled high
ways so tourists have almost free
range of that state.
However latest advices from the ex-
ecutive of this state indicates there
has been no relief from me embargo
on human and other traffic into this
state from California. On May 20,
effective May 30, Gov. Hunt issued an
order permitting shipment of oranges
and lemons into this state from GER
tain points in California, in carload
lots only, said carloads being properly
certified as to point of origin This
is due to entire lack of this citrus
fruit in this state, the supplies having
been exhausted.
Stories relative to relief on traffic
embargo at Needles, could not be
authenticated Whatever ruling was
issued, does not materially affect road
traffic.
Outbreak of foot and mouth disease
were few the past week in California
and it is believed the ailment will
gradually die out.
The extent of the disease and it's
cost to the owners of stock and to
the state has been exaggerated accord
ing to figures furnished by the State
Department of Agriculture of Califor-
MIA which shows that the percentage
of livestock in the state sacrificed
because of the ailment is 1.6 per cent,
or, 88,206 head of stock killed of
total of 5,469000 in the, state.
Before the epidemic there were in
the State 2,085000 dairy and beef
cattle; of these 42,874 were killed
which was slightly over 2 per cent.
There were 2,450,000 sheep; 1850, or
l per cent were killed. There were
834 900 swine; 1876, or 2 $40 per
cent were killed There were 10000
goats; 476, or a negligible percentage

LOCAL BASEBALL TEAM
TAKE ON LEUPP. INDIANS
FOR NEXT SUNDAY GAME

The residents of Winslow may take
it as an assured fact that summer is
almost here. One of the infallible
signs of it's approach is the yearly
revival of our well-beloved national
game, Baseball
A few days ago a group of ball
enthusiasts held their initial meeting
in our city and formed a preliminary
organization for the purpose of furth-
ering this sport in our community.
Nothing affords the general public
as much good, clean, manly fun and
recreation as does this game. And
by the way, the fun derived from it
seems to be attractive to a large femi-
nine contingent as well.
To have "a successful and satisfact-
ory ball team pre-suppOses two prin-
cipal factors. First: There must be
a group of men who are willing and
able to devote their time and energy
to the severe training necessary to
evolve a first-class team. WE HAVE
THEM! Second The general public
both by financial aid and its loyal
and willing support of the boys who
play the game must make hometown
baseball one of it's prime interests.
We think we have such public spirited
citizens in Winslow. Now lets prove
it. At the meeting mentioned, C. H.
Jordan was selected as manager and
he states that, at this time, he has
no comment to make about the team
except to say that Winslow will have
good ball team this year.

hind.
