DepaEed service men, those of
the B. of L. E. and the G. l. A. who
already have passed into the Great
Beyond, old-timers who gave their
lives after laying the foundation for
the city Winslow now is, and mem

Bandit Gets $1,000
From Williams Bank

At the point of a revolver, John
Smart, bookkeper in the Arizona
Central Bank at Williams, was
compelled to hand $1,042 to young
bandit at 1:05 Thursday afternoon
Smart was in the bank alone. The
bandit stepped up to the window
with blank counter check.
Does fellow by the name OF
Anderson work here?" he asked
Smart looked up at the question
and saw the muzzle of the gun di-
rected at him.
Give me the cash that's in that
drawer" the fellow demanded, re-
ferring to the, cash drawer, near
Smart, which was partly open.
Smart handed over the money in
sight-$1,042. all in bills of from
81 to $40 denomination. There was
several hundred dollars farther
back in the drawer that the man
didn't see and Smart didn't think
it worth while to call his attention
to it.

to the Ford auto camp ground two
or three doors west of the bank,
jumped into a small touring car and
escaped.

DRIVE TO RAISE
MONEY FOR THE
LEGION MONDAY

The drive to raise Navajo coun-
tvs $4,000 quota of the $5,000,000
American Legion endowment fund
to care for orphans of World war
veterans will start promptly at s
o'clock next Monday morning. The
personnel of all committees having
charge of the drive will be pub
lished in Fridays Winslow Mail.
While the drive is going on here
it will also be carried on in everT
other community of any size in the
state. Robert E. Tally, of Jerome,
state chairman, has been working
for several weeks, getting the state
organized, and has perfected his
organization so he. believes the
drive can be put across in half
day, or a day at most. In most
communities throughout the coun-
try the drive will be spread over
several days, and in some communi-
ties the quotas have already been
raised.
Sam w. Proctor, of The Winslow
Mail, is chairman for Winslow, and
announces his belief that not more
than day will be needed to raise
Winslow's quota of $3.50.
81 believe this drive should have
greater appeal than any drive
that has been staged since the Lib
erty loan and the Red Cross drives
of 1918 and 1919," Mr.. Proctor says.
"People have gladly provided large
amounts of money for war orphans
of European countries, but they
have never had an opportunity to
respond to a call to help American
orphans
1t has been pointed out by repre-
sentatives of the American Legion
that the money raised in each state
will be invested, wherever possible.
in approved securities in that state,
and the income will then be devoted
to finding homes for war orphans,

How Fast Is the
Wind Blowing F.?

Many people have extremely
vague ideas about the velocity of
the wind, just as others are unable
to gauge correctly the speed with
which they may be travelling in an
automobile. The two cases are not
entirely comparable, because a
large, heavy car may be going very
fast without giving its occupants
that impression, whereas a small,
light one will bounce and vibrate
alarmingly at a much lower rate
of speed.
Our impressions of wind velocity.
however, may be affected by vari-
Gus factors, such as temperature,
moisture in the air, topography, and
even the condition of our skins. A
cold wet wind may blow no harder
than a warm dry one, but it will
seem to-
Just as the actual speed of an
automobile may be measured by its
speedometer, wind velocity may be
measured by an instrument called
an thermometer. According to the
specifications of what is known as
the Beaufort scale, the weather bu-
reau of the United States depart
ment of agriculture gives the fol-
lowing rates for winds correspond
ing successfully to the numbers on
the Beaufort. scale from 0 to Il.
When the wind blows less than 1
mile an hour, the air is said to be
calm" Light air" means a wind
rate from 1 to 3 miles per hour; a
slight breeze" from to Z miles;
gentle breeze to II; moderate
breeze 13 to IS; "fresh breezes," J"
19 to "a miles per hour. At 25 miles
an hour we have strong breeze" J"
which is called a high wind" from
32 to 38 miles hourly; 80 to 46
miles an hour constitutes a real
gale" When the seamen talk
about a strong gale" the weather
man interprets it as wind blow
ing between AZ and 81 miles an
hour; whole gale" is from So to
63 miles, and is as severe as most
of us care to encounter. A storm"
wind ranges between 81 and 70
miles an hour, and above rs miles
any wind becomes a hurricane"

The formal proclamation of Gov
ernor Hunt calling the special cleo

is published in this issue of The

The election is called to deter

CHIEF OURAY is
REMOVED FROM
SECRET CEMETERY

The bones of Chief Ouray, the
most famed leader of the Colorado
Ute Indian tribe, were laid to rest
last week in the Indian reserVa-
tion's cemetery at Ignacio, Colo,
beside the grave of his squ&w,
Chipeta. Chief Ouray died in 1880
and his body was buried in secret
grave, known only to the medicine
men of the tribe.
With cOlorful rites in which the
entire Colorado Ute Indian tribe.
together with braves from the Nav
ajo and Apache tribes of Northern
New Mexico and Arizona, bore the
body of their former chieftain from
it's concealed grave in the San
Miguel mountains, where it has
lain for the last forty, years to the
Indian reservation.
When Chipeta, Ouray's squaw,
died last August, and was buried
with rites in which palefaces as
we'll as Ute Indians took part, the
Ute medicine men unloosed their
tongues and revealed the burial
spot of their former chieftain. 1t
was then proposed that Ouray's re-
mains be placed beside the body Of
his squaw and the white fathers"
of the Colorado government deslg-
mated that monument should be
erected at the spot.
Before the remains of Ouray were
lowered into his grave, the Ute In
dian braves, together with visiting
bucks from the Apache and Navajo
tribes of Northern Arizona and New
Mexico, performed solemn and
mournful dance to the monotonous
tone of war drums.
After the dance, Ouray's body
was conveyed by four Ute Indian
chieftains who knew him during
life to the grave, where a Presby-
terian minister administered the fu-
neral service of the Christian
church.
Chief Ouray was the great chief
tain of his tribe. During the in
vasion" of the white man into
Colorado in the nineteenth century
Ouray kept his tribe from warning
upon the palefaces. and signed the
famous Ute treaty with the white
man which set aside the lands the
tribe occupied for their permanent
abode. He became Christian in
1866 and was a devout worshiper
during the remaining twenty years
of his life.
The romance of Ouray and Chip
eta is noted in the annals of west
ern Indian tribal history. For
more than half century they lived
in devoted wedlock. Their only
child, a son, while still boy, was
captured by Cheyenne Indians dur
ing a war between the Utes and
the Cheyennes and was never heard
of again.

YARD
EXTENSION TO BE
GRADED SOON

Under the direction of James
Martin, subcontractor for Sharp &
Fellows, grading on the 500-foot
extension to the Winslow switching
yards of the Santa Fe, running from
a point west of the Santa Fe hos
pital into a portion of Coopertown,
will be started within the next two
weeks, it was announced Friday.
Several new tracks already have
been laid within the grounds COW
cred by the old yards. When COM
pleted, all tracks will be of suffi-
cient length to accommodate trains
Of seventy cars.
Twelve thousand yards of team
grading will be required to put the
additional yard in shape for the
laying of track, which work will
take about thirty days. A few
fences still are standing on the
grounds which will have to be re-
moved, but the telegraph lines of
both Western Union and Postal Tel
egraph have already been set over
on other ground, and about twelve
houses of the fifteen formerly on
this site have been torn down or
moved away. The remaining houses
will be removed within a short
time.
The new yard will be built south
of the present tracks, and will be
known as a gravity yard, as the
tracks will have sufficient decline
to enable cars to roll of their own
accord after they are switched to
the right tracks.
