The jewels of her eye.

port relative to the request of the
former for a wage of $40 a week and
two men to a motor boat in carrying
herring from the weirs to the fac

are bringing in all that are caught.
Should the herring strike in larger

catch, it is stated. An agreement
with the boatmen. enabling them to
make a living wage, and a better
catch in the two months remaining
of the packing season to make fair

demand is for 500 per week for each
of two men employed on a vessel, in
addition to the present amount paid
on each hogshead brought into the

THE II ALL. LUMBER
CO. WOODWORKING
MILL IN OPERATION

What is said to be one Of the most
modern woodworking machines now
manufactured has been installed by
The Hall Lumber company in their
new mill located in the rear of their
hardware store at 80 North Kinsley
avenue, which the lumber company
will operate in connection with the
mill work and odd carpenter job
business, recently added to their re-
tail lumber business This wonderful
little machine is operated by electric
motor, and is so constructed that three
men can work at the same time, and
each man be doing different kinds Of
mill work. AS an illustration of the
time saving made possible by this ma
chine Mr.. Hall states that just be-
fore the installation of the new ma
chine at Winslow, their Williams
ward sold a bill of window frames to
q contractor at Ash Fork for the sum
of $4,000, the cost being based on
material, plus carpenter help at $1.OO
an hour The order was filled at
Winslow at a saving of exactly $3.50,
which amount was passed back to the
Ask Fork customer Undoubtedly the
new addition to the Hall lumber bust
ness will bring about reductions IN
This class of work.

The new offices of the st. Johns
Herald, a large and handsome stone
structure, having been completed last
week, its owners, George and Will
Waite, invited the public to dedicate
it with a dance. The public didn't
need any urging and the new build
ing was warmed up in fitting style
last Friday night Old-time dances,
such as reels, quadrilles, schottisches
and polkas were featured and music
was furnished by Jim Shreeve with
his fiddle and Bill Waite with his
acc6rdian, while the changes for the
square dances were called by Marinus
Christensen. 1t was a real old fash
toned shakedown and everybody en-
joyed it. Conrad diversion took the
grand prize for artistic dancing. On
Monday the Herald newspaper plant
was moved into it's new home, and
it is a home the Waite brothers may
well feel proud of.-St. Johns OBJ

SENATOR MOORE HAS
THREE IMPORTANT
BILLS TO PRESENT

Senator Robert l.. Moore of Navajo
county, has in preparation three bills
of considerable merit, which he will
introduce into the next session OF the
legislature, if elected to succeed him
self in the state senate One of these
bills was brought up at the last ses-
sion by Senator Moore, but died in
committee, after having been recon-
nended for passage, by the adjourn
D1ent of the session. The original
bill provided for the appropriation of
$3.50 900 for the establishment of a
concrete plant in Pima county, near
the state penitentiary on which prison
labor could be employed for the pur-
pose of furnishing material for city,
county and state highways.
This bill was favored by a great
many of the legislators at the last
session, and will be brought forward
at an early date in the coming ses-
sion
Another of Senator Moore's bills
would establish in Arizona a presi-
Dental preferential primary law, pat
termed somewhat after the Nebraska
law. 1t would call for the selection
of presidential electors in the spring
before the national conventions are
held
The third bill in which Senator
Moore is particularly interested at
this time is depositors' guarantee
]sw. This measure was defeated in
the last session of the legilature, but
will be brought up. at the coming SEES
sion
Senator Robert L. Moore was elect
ed TO the legislature in 1922 He has
resided in Winslow since 1900, having
been in the employ of the Santa Fe
railroad since that time At one time
