these businesses without first obtain
ing the necessary license shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor and fined
anywhere from $40 to $100 The or
dinance will be published next week,

so all you soothsayers ETC., won't get

WINSLOW TO HAVE
A MUNICIPAL TREE
ON CHRISTMAS EVE

For great many years, up in the
deep woods on the side of old San
Francisco Peaks, there has been grow
ing beautiful green tree A long,
long time it has stood in that one
spot, surrounded by countless thou
sands of it's kind, providing shade and
comfort for the traveller, a home and
refuge for the furred and feathered
citizens of the forests, and an inspir-
ing sight for the lover of nature.
Soon it will make a short journey
the first and last of it's long life,
and end its existence in a blaze of
glory in the naturally treeless town
Of Winslow. Strange and glittering
foliage will be added to it's heavily
laden green limbs when it comes to
help welcome the anniversary of the
birth of the Prince of Peace It's
broad arms will extend toward the
heavens in reception to the New Year,
after which it's glorious career will
terminate in a great, blazing bonfire.
Under the auspices of the city coun-
Gil and Commercial club, the city will
this year hold it's first municipal
CuTlSlIudS Tree IGSCIVlCy. Inc Tree
will be erected at the intersection of
Second street and Kinsley avenue, and
the celebration will be held on We'd
nesday, December "a, Christmas eve.
Mayor Fred B. Douglas has had this
plan in mind for a number of weeks,
and on his run across the mountains
to the west, selected fine 30-foot
tree, and obtained the consent of the
forest service officials for it's removal
The merchants of town will pro-
vide gifts of candy, fruits and nuts,
and the council and Commercial club
will furnish transportation and other
equipment of the tree, except the
lighting, which will be provided by
Claude Quebedeaux, manager of the
electric light company. Other details
are being arranged by Mayor Doug
las, who is also asking that singers
and musicians offer their services for
the carols.
Everyone is asked to take part in
this first municipal celebration to at
tend and lift their voices in songs of
rejoicing.

WILL ESTABLISH
UNIT OF In DIAN
DEPARTMENT HERE

Chas E. Dagenett, supervisor of
Indian employment, U. S. department
of the Interior, was in Winslow yes
terday, making arrangements for the
establishment of unit of the service
in this city. Mr.. Dagenett was in
conference early in the day with Will
liam Nagle and Chas. Murphy, presi-
dent and secretary of the Commercial
club, and through their efforts, put
Mr.. Dagenett in touch with H. A.
Funk of the Old Trails Garage, who
made an offer to construct a building
on grounds according to government
specifications, and the Indian officer
will submit the offer to the govern
ment.
Mr.. Dagenett's plan calls for the
erection of a 50x50 foot building on
lot 150x150, surrounded by a high
board fence. The plant will be used
for a garage and machine shop for a
feet of from six to twelve eight-ton
White trucks, and a rendezvous for
the Indians as they are being gath
cred to be sent to different parts of
the state on contract work. In the
past, when Indians were sent to the
Salt River for work on the farms,
they were sent individually, at great
expense and inconvenience. The plan
is to concentrate the Indians from the
Hopi and Navajo reservations in Wins
low and transport them by truck to
the points where needed.
The plant which Mr.. Funk will
build for lease to the government will
be located on a stretch of ground he
owns north and west of the West End
dance pavilion, and will be built as
soon as the officials in Washington
accept the bid. No other estimates
were asked.
This will be the only concentration
point or unit of this kind in the state
outside of Phoenix.

Volume Of Work Makes
Larger Force Necessary

The volume of work now going
through the plant of the Winslow Mail
has made it necessary for The Mall
to increase its force by the addition
of two new mechanics. Commercial
work and advertising is being handled
to the plants capacity, and even with
the increased force it oftentimes is
necessary to run the shop nights.
This week Jack Carnegie of Holbrook,
was put on as press feeder, and Leo
Newman as ad and job compositor.
Chas. Thomas remains in charge OF
the presses and Frank Holloway has
custody of the new typesetting ma
chine.
About the first of the year The Mail
expects to enlarge the paper to
seven n-column instead of six-column
page.

EXCURSION De
LUKE STOPPED
over IN CITY
LAST EVENING

1t is doubtful that the original COW
cred wagons created more interest in
the few communities they passed
through than the two motor busses
which arrived in Winslow last night,
in the first regular transcontinental
motor tour ever to be put in service.
The busSes, which are owned by
the Motorway Tours of New York city,
left New York on November II and
will arrive in Los Angeles on Decem-
Der II. The 1S passengers who are
being carried, had dinner and spent
the night at the Harvey House here
Although this first transcontinental
trip was advertised only eight weeks
ago, the demand for tickets filled
both of the big busses.
w. H. Fuller, traffic manager of the
Motorway Tours, is conducting the
trip personally. When interviewed,
Mr.. Fuller said that everything point
ed to a regular schedule of trips over
the route which the present tour is
following. Mr.. Fuller also said that
Winslow will be a regular stopping
point for all future tours.
The cars left at nine o'clock this
morning for Grand Canyon and will
proceed from there to Los Angeles.
The passengers come from half
dozen Atlantic coast states, Vermont,
Dhn1o Tel Cnnnnnff-
cut and New York. None of them had
been in the west before, and are
heartily enjoying this unique excur-
sion
They were due oarrive in Winslow
Wednesday evening, but stops were
made for few hours to spend sight
seeing in Albuquerque and Santa Fe,
New Mexico, and about three hours
were spent at the Petrif1ed Forest yes
terday, which was described by Mr..
Fuller as the high spot on the en-
tire trip.
The two busses came in for a great
deal of inspection when they pulled
in. They are equipped with individual
parlor car chairs, whose deep uphol-
stery and swinging make for more
comfort than has ever. been known to
automobile passengers before. The
busses carry extra large gasoline
tanks and, what is more unusual each
bus is equipped with it's own supply
of lubricating ola 15-gallon drum
of oil being attached directly to the
chassis. The cost of the busses is
between $4,000 and $4,000 each.
Mr.. Fuller said that the regular
tours from New York to Los Angeles
will be begun next May. The COM
pany proposes to put siX-wheel busses
in operation for this tour. This will
make the vehicles entirely independ-
ent of rain and mud. The present
trip has been made almost entirely
in dry weather, the cars having run
in the rain only one day.
The cars to be used next year will
be 32-passenger, six-wheeled vehicles,
as comfortable and luxurious as Pull
man cars They will have wheel
base of 296 inches and will have 15O
horse power motors. Stopover priv
Hedges will be allowed along the
route. The cars will be operated
every two weeks. 1t is likely that the
route will be run via Taos next year.
During the winter months the COM
pany expects to operate tours in Cali
fornia, as it did in New York and New
England during the summer. A fixed
charge for transportation and all ac-
commodations is made on the basis. of
SIS a day. The New York-Los An
geles trip is scheduled for 80 days
and the cost is $3.50.

ONE OF THE EVENTS
In THE LIFE OF A
LOCAL BOY SCOUT

AS we go to press we learned
of the accident to ScOutmaster
Gilbert Hunter and his removal
to the hospital. But we don't in
tend to kill a perfectly good
story and picture just because
Glib gets himself partly killed.
The potato bake may be taken in
charge by some other scout lead
er, or postponed.
A baked potato banquet is the lat
est stunt to be pulled off by the tire
less Glib Hunter for the pleasure and
entertainment of his troop of Boy
Scouts All the time Glib and his boys
seek new things to do, swimming in
summer, eating in winter, new stunts
to perform, new merits to master, and
of the success of the local troop and
the interest the boys take.
The affair will be staged this even
ing in the lee of the buttes at the
west end of Third street, and will be
attended by about forty strong. Camp
fire comfort will be provided and the
spuds will be cooked a la Daniel
Boone. Each Scout will bring his
own Murphys, and the necessary con-
diments, salt, pepper, and if he Graves
luxury, maybe a little butter.
Scoutmaster Hunter will take the
occasion to deliver a short message to
his charges, and Grady Gammage will
make talk to them. Other speakers
will be on hand to tell camp fire
stories and to entertain the boys after
the banquet.
