WORK ON new HALF MILLION
dollar ICE MAKING PLANT Of
FE STARTED LAST WEEK

Real work started on the construc-
ton of the new Santa Fe ice manu-
featuring and storage plant the first
of last week, following the prelimin-
ary work of removing an enormous
rock hill on the site.
The Sumner Sollitt company Of Chi
cago and Los Angeles were the sue
cessful bidders on the contract, and
have the work in charge. James Da-
vies, superintendent for the company,
arrived on July 9th, and up to the
time Cf actually putting the men to
work on excavation for the founda-
tions, had been quietly busy preparing
for the eight months of work neces-
sary before the building is completed.
Engineer c. E. Jones, regularly with
the Sumner Sollitt company; G.. B.
Ragin, carpenter foreman, and G. G.
WaggCner, time keeper, all have been
on the job for the past two weeks get
ting things started in good shape. H.
r. Fields, western representative and
vice-president of the company, visit
ed Winslow Tuesday to spend several
days here, overseeing the big con-
tract. The Sumner Sollitt company
are specialists in concrete construc-
tion, and do a great deal of railroad
work all over the country.
The new building will De- of con
crete, 10 by $40 feet i'll dimension,
three stories, or about forty feet high.
1t will be an addition to the old stor-
age plant, which is about 120 by 120
feet, and the combined building will
be 120 by $50, reaching from the
Santa Fe tracks on the south to the
edge Of Second street on the north.
Sixty men and several teams with
scrapers have been at work for the
past two weeks, excavating for found

State Committee Works
ON Defense Day Plans

With a strong state committee al
ready at work, and with the day offic-
tally designated by proclamation of
the governor, who is urging it's en-
thusiastic observance, plans for Ari-
zona's participation in the national de-
fense test en- September II are well
under way. Assurances of their sup
port of the plan have already been
received from the mayors of nearly
every city and town in Arizona, and
local committees report their plans
for the celebration are being rapidly
developed.
Planned under the national defense
act of 1920 as a demonstration CT the
processes necessary in order to as
semble our forces for the national de-
fense, the test is designed to enable
the people of each community to see
exactly the contribution they would
be required to make in order OF bear
their share of the common burden,
were war to again become necessary.
In this respect the occasion has been
compared to d great national fire
drill, held entirely for the purpose OF
preventing loss of life and property
should any emergency arise in the
future.
1t is universally recognized that
the lack of adequate preparation Ior
war cost this country thousands OF
lives and millions in money in 1917.
Had the present national defense act
been in effect and operative then, the
United States would not have been
drawn into the World war. Only our
apparent indifference and helpless
ness as a rich and unprepared nation,
it is pointed out, provoked the attacks
on our neutrality that led us into the
conflict The defense test on Sep
tember II, it is expected, will serve
! to promote peace through making
clear the new national policy OF pre-
paredness without the expense and
burden which a large standing army
would involve.

OF two or three more weeks, when
carpenters and concrete men can get
on the job, as many as $50 men will
be employed, and possibly as many as
200. The work will take from six to
eight months, exclusive of the time to
install machinery, and it is reported
that over half million dollars will
be spent in getting the new plant in
operation.
The capacity of the old plant has
been 165 tons of ice per day. when
running at capacity, but insufficient
storage space has compelled the par
tial shutdown of operations during
the season between heavy fruit ship
ments and the maximum of production
when perishable freight is running
heavy. With it's three ice making ma
chimes the plant has been capable Of
producing ice in sufficient quantity,
but with the five engines anticipated
for the new plant, and the greatly in
creased storage facilities, together
with the new 1000 foot ice docks,
which will be tried out for the first
time tomorrow, greater efficiency and
speed in the icing of transcontinental
fruit trains will result. The new ice
docks. with the machinery to supplant
hand labor in storing the ice in the
refrigerator cars, have been complet-
ed for several weeks, but operation
has been held up because certain
small parts in the carrying apparatus
failed to arrive in time fer installa-
tion
The new docks are capable of load
ing ice into "a refrigerator cars at
one time, the maximum on the old
dock being Is cars. Two trains of AZ
cars each can be aligned along both
sides Of the new dock and the ice car
ried to the ice box entrances.

WINSLOW GIRL
RESCUES MAN
F Rom DEATH

Because she was prepared = with
the ability to do, and a willingness
to dare, Miss Dorothy Doughman, who
is as brave as she is fair, proved her
self a heroine Saturday night when
she rescued Cecil w. Lowen from
drowning at Clear Creek.
Lowen, who is but an indifferent
swimmer, waded to rock some dis
tance from the bank, which was part
ly submerged. He lost his hold and
fell into deep water ON the outward
side, and in falling, injured himself.
Miss Doughman was seated on the
dam a little distance from the rock,
and although Lowen did not call out
for help, she noted his distress, and
that he was sinking and coming to
the surface in turn, but that he
could not lift his face about the wa
ter.
without hesitation Miss Doughman
swan to the rescue of the sinking
man, who by the time she reached
him was in such straits that he grab
Der her about the neck, causing both
of them to sink Miss Doughman
called for help, but the many bathers
who were nearby thought they were
joking. Being without aid, in the
emergency she kicked Lowen loose,
forcing him to release his hold,
turned him over and secured grip
ON the back of his bathing suit, and
pushed and dragged him to shallow
water before the spectators realized
the desperate plight they had been in.
Both the young man and girl were
exhausted by their experience, which
for few moments seemed as though
lit would be their last in this world.
Miss Doughman came to Winslow
a little more than year ago from
Denver, Colorado, and has been en-
ployed as comptometer clerk in the
superintendent office at the Santa
Fe depot. She makes her home with
Mr.. and Mrs. Horace Evans on War
ren avenue. She is an excellent
swimmer and diver, and an all-round
athletic girl, and a consistent visitor
to Winslow's popular bathing resort
on Clear Creek.
Mr.. LoWen is an operator in the
telegraph office of the Santa Fe. Both
were members of a party of Santa Fe
employees who made up picnic party
Saturday evening for an cutting on
the creek. Despite the fact that both
had worked many months in Santa Fe
depot offices, just as the party was
made up was the first time the two
young people had met Other mem
bers of the party were Chief Dis
patcher C. E. Machin and two sons,
Mr.. Lindsay and Mr.. Seaton.

Superintendent Steinert
Busy Cleaning Gas Pipes

Bert Steinert, superintendent of the
citys gas plant, reports that patrons
are alive to the situation as regards
fouled gas lines leading from streets
to residences and that orders are COM
ing into the plant to have the lines
cleaned about as fast as his depart
ment can care for them. He says
that complaints over inadequate gas
supply are decreasing in proportion to
the rate of cleaning, and that he hopes
in time to have the service fully built
up to the satisfaction of all patrons.
The gas department is arranging to
install high power gas lamp at the
entrance to the city hall, using new
improved lamp for the purpose. A
soft gas light is to be installed in the
telephone office in Winslow to prevent
glare in the eyes of the operators.

Fish in "Spray Pond
Killed by Ammonia

The fish kept in the spray pond at
the Santa Fe ice plant suffered exter-
mination a couple of weeks ago, when
in the plant. The fish was planted in
the pend for the purpose of testing
for such leaks, and when a few were
found floating on the surface of the
lake, a search for the leak was made,
but before it could be found, all the
fish had been killed. About half a
ton of cat fish, perch, bony tails and
carp were buried after the accident.
The lake is being restocked with fish
from Clear Creek

AIRPLANES IN
FLOCKS HOVER
OVER WINSLOW

The blue sky above Winslow is get
ting all foggy and be-cluttered with
airplanes these days, since the arrival
here this week of two veteran
flyers, with their mechanician, to
give our people touch of high life
and the opportunity to experience the
thrills of aerial travel.
Wednesday morning C. w. Mayse
and w. B. Atwell aviators, accom-
panied by G. E. Requelme, expert air
plane mechanic, arrived here with two
Standard il planes, for a four-day
visit, during which time they will hold
forth at the city ball park and carry
passengers for ten-minute, or longer,
flights into the azure realms above.
The planes are of the army type,
equipped with HispanoSueiza motors,
$50 horse power, and will carry two
passengers besides the driver. The
planes are new, we'll built, and en-
tirely safe, and the pilots in their ex
hibitions of Wednesday and Thursday
displayed such skill that confidence in
their ability will be felt by even the
most timid.
Mayse and Atwell have had years
of experience, both in army and pri-
vate aerial service Mr.. Mayse has
been flying for five years, and during
that time has carried more than TO-,
900 passengers aloft without mishap
or cracking a ship" He was en-
ployed by the Mexican federal gov
ernment as a scout during the late
revolution, and recounts many hair
raising experiences in connection with
his work there. He was in advance
of the army of General Enriquez lcOk-
ing for torn up rails and dynamited
bridges not long ago and was lead
ing the train when it was blown to
pieces, an incident which filled the
press dispatches at the time. His
ship was the target for over 500 bull
let's at the hands of rebels during one
engagement. Mayse spent many
months in the Latin-American cOun-
tries, flying over and in five repub-
lies, both in government and passen-
ger carrying work.
In the United States Mayse has
flown in 16 states, and spent more
than 5000 hours in the air. He was,
at the time of the flood in Pueblo,
Colorado, in 1921, the first to- reach
the city in work of rescue, and car
ried out, in his plane, the first let
ters, kilograms and pictures telling
the world the extent of the catas-
trophe.
Mr.. Atwell became an aviator a
year before the outbreak of the World
war. when aviation was in it's baby
hood-a sport of danger and real
thrills. When the war came on he
entered Uncle Sans employ as in
structor of army flyers, and taught
over 100 OF the governments air pi-
lots. Since the war he has flown all
over the United States and Mexico.
After their four days here, the trio
of air men will pay visit of few
days to Flagstaff, then will fly across
the Grand Canyon into Utah, then
back to the south, and will spend the
coming winter in Central America.
