FLORIDA BIBULOUS

MIAMI. Fla. Nov. I.-Bacchus,
the fiddler. is exacting n heavier toll
from his dancers at resorts. clubs and
supper clubs along the Florida east
coast this season, for the days of the
rum runner whose fleet ships pliel
the route from Bimini and Nassau to
east coast inlets and various docking
places now appear to be definitely
numbered.
With the close OF October. a syn
dicate of rum runners tabulated their
losses during the month and found
that in the aggregate the government
coast guard had captured S10,0O0,OCO

advanced from $50 to sos a case; gin,

The days of the Salvation Kid. the
most picturesque. daring and skillful
of rum runners are over. and since he
has retired with fortune, after max
ing a public statement that the gov
eminent had turned a former gamble
into surc-thing loss, the lesser lights

were too fast and long before the

he had left the government ship far to

Then along came Captain G. G..

Porcher's system is one or many
boats and good gunners. A half NILE
from the coast, the rum chaser Gordon
is laid. For every mile and half OF

Runners have attempted dasheS

FORM
SPECTACLE in
SKY THIS MONTH

Shortly after sunset each evening
during July the five brightest plan
ets-Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupi-
ter and Saturn-all will be above
the horizon at the same time.
On the evening July 10, says a
bulletin from the American Nature
association, Mercury, Venus and
Mars appeared so near together
that they might have been mis-
taken for a triple star, although in
fact Mercury was about 105, 1000, 900
miles from the earth, Venus 146,-
100000 miles and Mars 239,00O,000
miles.
Mars is increasing it's distance
from the earth and drawing in to-
ward the sun so it will be increas-
ingly difficult to find it in the twi-
light. Mercury and Venus now are
approaching the earth.
Mercury will reach it's greatest
eastern elongation on July 28,
when it will be more than 27 de-
grees east of the sun. This, the
American Nature association points
greatest possible distance from
the sun and great enough to enable
it to be picked up easily in the
twilight after sunset.
Anyone watching these three
planets this month with the aid of
a small telescope or field glasses
might imagine they were playing
tageor running a race in the north
western sky after sunset. All three
will move eastward during July
from Cancer into Leo, but all will
be moving at different speeds with
respect to each other and the earth
Mars, the slow-moving one of the
trio, was at the beginning of the
month farther east and higher in
the western sky than the other
two, but the other two planets
passed it on July 10. Saturn,
which has been above the horizon
in the evening hours for some
time, has been moving slowly
westward, but on July II it became
stationary, as viewed from the
earth, and then to swing slowly
backward toward Libra to the
east. Jupiter was in opposition to
the sun, or on the meridian due
south. at midnight On July 10. 1t
now rises at sunset and is in view
all night. Mercury, Venus and
Mars now set about an hour and
a half after the sun.

BUDGET
FOR NEXT YEAR
PROVIDES FOR
SLIGHT RAISE

The budget for the coming years
expenditures for the city of Wins
low has been prepared, and calls
for an estimated expenditure of
$45, ,709,55, an increase of S6,71S.2O
over the actual expenditures of
last year. Expenditures for 1924
1925 exceeded the estimated budget
by S1,767.35. Of the sum of S45.-
'709.55, the amount to be raised by
direct taxation is $92,63455, leaving
$13,075.00 to be derived from
sources other than taxation.
The street police and fire are
the three most expensive depart
ments of the city, the estimated ex-
penditures for these being, respec-
lively, $4,000, $6O5O and S4,59O.
Expenditures in each of these de-
partments last year were S11, ,796.27,
S5,187.56 and $4,651.10.
1t is estimated that the $13,075. 90
to be derived from other sources
than direct taxation, will come as
follows: From licenses, $4,000;
city pound, S25; street tax, $1,000;
delinquent taxes, $4,750; city
court, $4,000; building inspector,
S25; insurance allotment, 5000; dog
tax, 500; cemetery plot sales,
S100; sewer fees, $25, and rentals.
$50. Last year these sources pro-
ylded the city with $10,477.55,

Work Goes Forward
On New Gas Plant

All equipment for the new city
gas plant will be on the ground by
Aug. 10, Bert Steinert, manager of
the gas plant, has announced, and
in line with getting in readiness
for it's arrival, E. A. McGilyary, of
Los Angeles, was in Winslow the
latter part of the week laying out
the foundations for the generating
set. Mr.. McGiIvary made the sale
of the generating set to the city
council for the plant. He left
Winslow Sunday to go to Mesa,
where he has charge of remodeling
the gas plant at that place.
Tools for the pipe work already
have arrived, according to Mr..
Steinert. The holder foundation
was completed some time ago. The
holder will be received here prob
ably by Aug. 1, and present plans
are for the completion of the plant
by Nov. 1 to take care of the heavy
winter consumption. Between 22,-
900 and 24,000 feet of gas per day
is being made at the old plant at
the present time.

Visiting Physicians
Well Pleased With
Trachoma Condition

DR.. w. A. Morrison, chief sur
DR.. John Osborne, chief occulist,
with Edward Clark, engineer, and
Frank Rawsen, conductor, of the
Hospital Association board, went
into the Trachoma situation here
carefully on Thursday and Friday
of last week. They were accom-
panied by DR.. Oscar S. Brown,
division surgeon and DR.. j. S. Per-
kins of the government service,
and made close inspection of the
Indian homes and conditions at the
roundhouse. After the investiga-
ton the visiting doctors and the
board members expressed them
selves as being well pleased with
conditions. They left for Gallup
Friday to look into the Trachoma
situation there. Doctors Brown
and Perkins also made the trip.
DR.. George P. Sampson, city
health officer, made investigation
of the Trachoma situation at the
roundhouse Monday morning, re
turned saying he was highly pleas
ed with the conditions and that he
found things in better shape than
he had expected. From all indica-
tions this disease is being stamped
out by the concentrated efforts of
the government and the Santa Fe
during the last few months
While in Winslow DR.. Morrison
arranged with DR.. Perkins to hold
a special clinic on Trachoma at
Los Angeles for the benefit of any
doctor in Los Angeles who cared
to attend. DR., Perkins will be as
sisted by Miss Russell, government
nurse, and will demonstrate the
Trachoma operation which has
been discovered to be a positive
cure for the disease.

witch will go from here to be op-

REV. T.E. ELGIN TO
LEAVE PASTORATE
TO TEACH SCHOOL

Rev. T. E. Elgin, for three years
pastor of the local Baptist church,
has resigned that position to ac-
cept a position on the faculty of
the Winslow High school as teach
er of history and social science.
His election to the teachers staff
occurred Saturday and was fol

church Sunday morning.
His resignation becomes effec-
tive the first of September, at
which time he will take up his
school work.
Notice of DR.. Elgin's change of
labor may occasion some surprise
among his many friends in North
ern Arizona, who possibly were
not aware that he had been en-
gagged, during his scholastic career,
in teaching educational subjects,
and he feels that his further re-

Boy II Years Old Is
Killed Near Seligman

Homer Moore, 21 years of age,
whose home is in Kusa, Oklahoma,
died Thursday night at Seligman,
as result of a fall Thursday after
noon from the top of baggage
car to the buffer between the car
and, the first passenger coach.
Moore, with a pal about the same
age was beating his way to Rose
vile, California, and the two boys
were riding on the top of the bag
gage coach. Moore was standing,
looking toward the rear of the
train, while his companion sat near
his feet. The accident occurred
when Moore failed to heed the
warning given by the tell tail and
was knocked from the car when
the train went through a tunnel.
He lodged on the buffer and stayed
there until his companion could
notify the crew to stop the train.
The body was shipped back to

Two Cars Stolen Same
Night; Both Recovered

WinsloW and Flagstaff engaged
in swapping of automobiles Sat
urday night, but between the mar
shals of the two places the cars
were traded back again and, aside
from the fact that the original
trade is shrouded in mystery, the
deal is quite satisfactory.
Marshal Harp received a tele-
phone call early Sunday morning
from Flagstaff asking him to look
out for a car bearing a certain
license that had been stolen at
Flagstaff from one of the students
at the State Teachers college.
Shortly afterward he was notified
of the theft of car from Elmer
Cowley, of Winslow.
Mr.. Harp found the first car
standing in front of the Woods
hotel. Whoever had driven it there
had not registered at the hotel, but
Mr.. Harp recognized it as a ma
chine he had seen driving into
town about 2 o'clock Sunday morn
ing, which was before he had re-
ceived the message from Flagstaff.
The machine was in good condi-
tion and well supplied with oil and
gas, but the thieves were nowhere
in evidence.
Another call from Flagstaff dis
closed the fact that Mr. Cowley's
car had been found abandoned on
the road a short distance out of
Flagstaff on the road to Winslow
1t was well supplied with gas and
oil also, and had not been hurt in
the drive
Both cars have been returned to
their owners.

RECEIVERSHIP.
DEFUNCT BANK.
TO STAY HERE.
IS ANNOUNCED.

That the change of administra-
tion in receivership of the Bank of
Winslow will not be effected for
probably two years by the recent
plan announced by A. T. Ham
mons, state superintendent OF
banks, whereby liquidation Of de-
funct banks will be handled from
the superintendent office in
Phoenix instead Of from the diff
ferent locations Of the banks, is
the opinion of j. S. Dodson, re-
ceiver of the Bank of Winslow.
Different accounts of the change
in the liquidation plan have led
people to believe that the receiver
ship of this bank would be trans
ferred to Phoenix at once, but this
will not be possible, Mr.. DOdsOn
said, for two or three years, and
the banks that are Immediately af-
fected by the new plan are banks
that have been closed two and
three years, including those at
Patagonia, Florence, Tempe, Mayer
and BlSDee.
After liquidation has reached a
certain point, the affairs of defunct
banks of the state will be trans
ferred to the Phoenix office of the
Of banks to be han
died from that point, thus cutting
down the expense of liquidation.
S. B. Smith, who served as assist
ant receiver for the Bank of Wins
low for several months, has been
appointed deputy bank examiner
and will have charge of the final
liquidation of the state banks.
The largest affairs of the local
bank are progressing in good
shape, Mr.. Dodson says. Yester-
day the largest single collection he
had made since taking over the
receivership was effected in the
amount of $4,000. Collections
generally are good, he says.

May Disincorporate
Town of Snowflake

During the past two weeks, petit
tions for the disincorporation OF
the town of Snowflake have been
in circulation with the result that
the names of the necessary one
half of the bona-fde voters of the
town have been secured and an
election called for the purpose Of
voting on the question on August
7th
During the past week petition
asking for the refusal of consent
to hold the election has also been
in circulation but to no avail.
Differences arising over several
city ordinances are said to be the
cause of the trouble, and the town
seems to be pretty evenly split
over the questions.
Word is current among the citi
zens that a town mass meeting will
be held in the very near future
to discuss the problems, but as yet
no definite word has been.-Snow-

friends of the delegates.
A very interesting part of the

was the Introduction of foreign
delgates. Each delegate delivered
an address about his own country.
