Dies AT Phoenix Home

Charles Bennett Christy, pioneer
of the Salt River valley and a leader
in civic and business enterprises of

who took an outstanding part in the
development of Phoenix and the sur
rounding country from an early
period.

HUNTERS TO BE
ALLOWED THREE
ANIMALS EACH

Sportsmen may now hunt deer on
the east side of the Kaibab national
forest under special permit from the
forest service. The preserve will be
open for the hunting of deer until
January 5, and the same rules which
govern the hunting of the animals on
the west side will prevail on the east
side.
When the west side of the forest
was opened to hunters on December
L, as measure to reduce the herd
the east side was kept closed to avoid
interference with the plan of George
Mccormick to drive several thousand
head of deer across the Colorado river
into other feeding grounds. Since
the drive has proven failure, the
forest service has opened the east
side to hunters, effective at once, it
was stated.
Under the rules which apply to
hunting the game in the Kaibab ma
tional forest, all sportsmen must OBJ
tain special permit from the forest
service and provide themselves with
hunting licenses issued by the state
Each hunter will be allowed three
deer, Tor which he must pay a fee
to the government of SIS per head. In
entering the forest, the hunters guns
will be sealed until the hunting
grounds are reached, after which the
seal will be removed and the sports
men permitted to kill his three deer
The forest service announced that
there is plenty of wood and water
at the camp grounds in the forest
but cautioned each hunter to go with
sufficient food supplies, as none are
obtainable in the forest.
The roads into the east side of the
forest are in good shape, the forest
service reported, except that a little
snow will be encountered near Flag
staff. Sportsmen are advised to enter
the forest by way of Lees Ferry, this
being, in the opinion of the forest
service, the best route to the hunt
ing grounds.

Winslow Much Publicity

R. NJ. Bruchman. Indian trader and
curio dealer of Winslow, is giving

ed ''N'' to sixteen members of Coach
Rogers gridiron warriors. Gold foot
balls and sweaters were given to this
years lettermen as additional awards
of merit for cooperating with the
council in keeping in excellent condi-
ton, and in recognition of the high
calibre of playing.
The season just passed marks the
beginning of a new brand of foot
ball for the Lumberjacks and Nor
thern Arizona. There were only
three high schools played this year.
According to Manager Jake Bracker,
he is negotiating with the University
of Arizona for home and home game
with the Frosh. Games have already
been arranged with the State Normal
school at Tempe and the Phoenix Jun
ior College Bears. There are several
open dates yet to be filled which
Bracker says he will close before the
first of the year.
Those to receive the "N' were Cap

ELKS CHRISTMAS
BASKETS FILLED
AND DELIVERED

Wednesday night, Christmas eve,
some time after dark, heavily-laden
truck left the Elks club rooms, bear
ing to every needy family in the city
well-filled Christmas basket.
Everything that goes to make a
Christmas dinner complete was in the
baskets-turkeys, cakes, candy, nuts,
fruit and vegetables.
Every Christmas the B. P. o. Elks
assure themselves that no family with
in their jurisdiction shall sit down to
meager table. A good Elk would
feel mighty uncomfortable, and would
probably choke on his own piece of
turkey breast if he had an idea there
might be hungry one in the same
town.
This charity, as other charity activi-
ties of the Elks lodge, is carried on
quietly and without accepting dona-
tions outside the charity fund. The
committee in charge does the work,
and even to the members of the lodge
the recipients are unknown. The
three committee members, and the
truck driver are the only ones who
are aware of the destinations of the
baskets.
Another remembrance that the Elks
make each year is a big fat turkey
to every minister of the gospel in
town.

Public Library May Be
Opened In The City Hall

The public library for Winslow,
which is being worked up by the Wo-
mems club, under direct charge of
Mrs. Walter Olds, chairman of the
committee, is rapidly rounding into
such shape that it may be opened
soon after the first of the year.
A number Of volumes, fiction, chill
dren's books and reference works
have been secured, and the problem
of location has been solved by the
offer of the city council to permit use
of one of the rooms in the second
story for shelf room and librarians s
desk, and the auditorium, with it's
furniture, to be used as a reading
room.
The committee in charge is anxious
to receive gifts of still more books,
and urge the cooperation of the peo-
pie in every way in which they can
lend their aid.

Rings And Caps Found
And Left At The Mail

During the rush of Christmas shop
ping or the excitement of opening
packages at the post office, some one
dropped two gold rings, apparently
of considerable value, each enclosed in
plush lined boxes, and each engraved,
but with different initials. The two
boxes were found by little Miss Helen
Hungerford over a week ago and left
at this office. The owner may have
them upon Identifying.
At the tree celebration Wednesday
evening two wooden stocking caps
were lost in the shuttle. The owners
can have these too, by calling here.

INDIAN WARRIORS
TO GET PENSIONS
FROM UNCLE SAM

After much difficulty Congressman
Carl Hayden has finally secured the
enactment of legislation granting pen
sions of twenty dollars per month to
the surviving members of Company
B, First Battalion, Arizona Infantry,
who were enlisted on August "a, 1865,
for service against the Apache and
who were honorably discharged on
September II, 1866. These old men
are all Maricopa Indians residing on
the reservation near the junction of
the Salt and Gila rivers. Their names
are Choor Aquises or Cherpquis, Ma
chic Gulack or Pantaloon, Wanatt
Shoma or Ramon White, Mo Ush Ak
or Mosak and Oh Wan or Katck. The
act of congress also grants like
pension to Mary Juan, of Lehi, widow
of Coche Aaar or Pigtail,> another
soldier of the same company.
The records of the war department
show that on recommendation of the
governor of Arizona the secretary of
war in 1865 directed that troops be
raised in the Territory to take the
place of the California volunteers
whose terms of service were about to
expire. Two companies of Indians
were enlisted in the federal service
at that time, Company A being COM
posed of Pimas and Company B of
Maricopas. Although they were arm
ed only with worn Mississippi rifles
and had poor equipment, they suffer-
ed many hardships and punished the
Apaches most severely. Of their mill
tary value General Mcdowell, the
department commander, said in his re-
port for 1866:
"They were the most effective
troops for the service in that country
that we had, and have done more than
all the others together. In fact, it is
not too much to say that they only
within the last year have infected
any considerable injury to the hostile
Apaches. The regular troops, unused
to a different kind of warfare, unused
to the kind of life necessary to OBJ
tain any results against the Indians in
Arizona, seem to acquire very slow
ly the experience necessary to enable
them to be effective for offensive op-
eratiOnS"

Come Out Of The Kitchen
Made a Big Hit With All

The senior class play "Come Out
of the Kitchen" the three act comedy
drama, which was given at Washing
ton school auditorium last Friday
evening, proved to be an amateur
theatrical event of more than ordin-
ary high class.
The leading parts in the play were
taken by w. Eugene Woods and Doris
Henderson, but all of the members of
the cast shared with the leading
characters the honor of making the
play most enjoyable, and one of the
treats of the season for all who at
tended.
Others who took part in the play
were, Jarvis Houck, Fred Chase, Freda
Hart, Opal McHood, William Lancast-
er, Laurel Bly,, Lois Carver, Edward
Peterson and Glen Evans.

Oil Man Expects Things
To Pop at Holbrook Soon

D. L. Higgins, oil man of Holbrook,
was in Winslow this week, and while
here stated that developments of a
sensational nature are momentarily
expected in the field being prospected
south and west of that city
He said that the drill at the Ada
mana well was in a formation from
which bailings, running more than 80
per cent oil were being taken from
the hole. At the Taylor-Fuller well,
where report became current a few
days ago that the we'll had come in
strong, the drill is being operated
only during daylight hours, as it
would be undesirable to permit the
well to come in at night.
New oil drilling equipment and adj
ditional tools were taken to the 90
OOO-acre lease of the Holbrook we'll
this week, and new driller, Ray
Durfee, who has brought in number
of big wells in Texas, is now in charge
of the work at that lease.

OREGON SENDS
-four SLOGANS
and FIVE ARE
in FROM TEXAS

Slogans for the use of the Winslow
Commercial club in their proposed
publicity campaign of the coming
summer and tourist season continue
to arrive at the Winslow Mail office.
Nine slogans have come in from far
away states, five from San Antonio.
Texas, and four from Oregon, two
each from Trent and Goshen of the
Beaver state
Several Winslow people have sent
IN more than one, and a great many
have contributed one each. Before
the end of next week it is hoped that
ten times as many as have been al
ready received will be ready to turn
over to the board of directors for their
choice.
The five slogans from Texas were
received from the army post at San
Antonio, where great interest is be-
ing manifested in the air route land
ing fields being built across the north
ern part of the state. Officers in
command at the post there, and also
at coast posts, have kept in close
touch with the developments in the
proposed air line, and have received
many copies of The Mail describing
the progress of the work, which also
contained stories of the slogan con-
test.
Three of the slogans from Oregon
were worked around the theme of the
well-known Arizona sunshine, which
is greatly envied in that state of
much fog and rain. No other slogans
received used the sun for a subject.
Most of the local contributions are
written around the desert for
theme. Scenic attractions adjacent to
Winslow come in for their share of
advertising, but the desert predomi-
mates. Jack O'Brien, who submitted
two verses of poetry with his slogans
last week, which appeared in The
Mail, this week added two more
stanzas, the whole poem now reading
as follows:
"Near the Painted Desert beautiful,
With it's varied colored land,
Lies this charming little city,
Gem of Moqui land.
"Where we're always glad to meet you,
And the smiling sun greets you,
In this magic little city
Gem of Moqui land.
"Famed not for tropic beauty,
Nor yet for choral strands,
Yet the brush of the Great Artist
Is spread here with lavish hand.
"Colors varied and beautiful,
Scenes that are big and grand,
Near Winslow, Arizona,
In the Heart of Moqui Land
O'Brien's Irish heart is set on max
ing Winslow one of the best known
towns in the west, and he gives a
lot of thought to everything connect
ed with pushing this city forward.
The slogans that are to be expected
from the school pupils of the Eng
lish classes have not been received
yet, and it is probable that the con-
test will be held open long enough
for them to have a week of classes
after school takes up after holidays
The Women's club members also, now
that the Christmas rush is over Will
put their heads together and study
up some doubtlessly clever phrases,
which will prove worthy of being
prize winners.
