ers one of the best bodies of timber
in the entire southwest. After final
approval of the appraisal the timber
will be sold to the highest financially
responsible bidder to be cut at rate
not to exceed 30,000000 feet a year
There is timber enough in the Sit
greaves forest to maintain cut at
this rate for IS years, Mr.. Randles
says As soon as one block is cut.

When the sale is made, it will mean

WinsIOw Town Vacates
Plat at COOpertown

The town of Winslow has vacated
the Coopertown plat in the southern
part of the city, a plat of vacant
ground just south of the Santa Fe
tracks west of Williamson street.
This is a matter which has been up
for some time. The Santa Fe asked
the vacation of the plat of ground,
which long ago was accepted by the
city and technically laid out in streets
and alleys, none of which streets or
alleys were ever opened and used by
the city The Santa Fe wanted to do
some work on this ground and the
city was assured that the "Coopertown
road" now in use. would never be
bothered by the railway and that all
streets and thOroughfares now in use
would remain in use. On the assur-
ance of Mr.. Klein, representing the
railway, that present rights to thor
oughfare would be regarded by the
Santa Fe the councilmen voted to va
cate the plat as desired.

BLIND MAN CLAIMS AUTO
PARTY LOST HIM EN- ROUTE

A young man, blind, arrived in this
city from Gallup and since that time
has been looked after by the local au-
thorities. His story is that his home
is in Colorado and that he was going
west through this country with his
brother and sister in an automobile
and that they lost him at Gallup. He
came from Gallup to WinsIow by
train. The boy was here as late as
Wednesday, at the city hall. The
story sounds a little queer owing to
the difficulty of an automobile party
losing a human being without being
cognizant of the loss and returning
for due inquiry regarding the missing
party.
