Another Newspaper To
Be Established Fl er G

Mark Brayan, of Bryan Brothers,
publishers of the Holbrook Tribune,
was in Winslow the first of the week
making final arrangements for the es-
tablishment of another newspaper
here as a branch of his HolbroOk
publishing house. The new paper
will be called The Winslow Standard.
A lease has been taken on the va
cant building at the corner of Sec
ond street and Apache avenue, from
which location the new paper will be
published in a few weeks.
After the demise of Tourazona at
Springerville few weeks ago it was
reported that Editor Edgar Allen Corn
intended to come to Winslow with a
paper, and it is still rumored that
the latter is intending to locate in

City Receives Draft
From Surety Company

City Clerk Charles L. Murphy this
week received a draft for S3,747.89
from the Maryland Causualty COM
pany, the company which insured the
city's deposit in the defunct Bank of
Winslow.
The claim of the city against the
bank has been assigned to the casu-
atty company, who will collect from
the liquidation of the bank the same
proportion as other depositors, but
the city has been reimbursed in full.
Since the closing of the bank there
has been a question as to whether
they would make good the city's loss,
as the Maryland company claimed not
to have bonded the account in the
Bank of Winslow, but with the old
State bank, and that the consolidation
of the banks a year or more ago had
been made without their consent or
knowledge.

EVERYBODY SHOULD
ATTEND THE MASS
MEETING TONIGHT

Everyone who considers himself a
good citizen of Winslow should be
present at the mass meeting this eve
ming at the city hall, called at the sug-
gestion of Mayor Douglas and the
city council, to discuss the proposed
bond issue for the rebuilding of the
city's gas plant.
The citys advancement entails i'm
provements, and improvements cost
money The use of gas is one of the
conveniences that a resident expects
to find in a city, and not in village.
Other cities of Arizona are issuing
bonds for municipal improvements in
greater amounts than the proposed
issue in Winslow. Flagstaff recently
voted almost half a million for water
improvement. Tombstone is prepar-
ing bond issue of large proportions
to make their city better.
The issue for the gas plant will
amount to not more than $4,000.
Do you want good gas plant, or
do you not?
Whether you do or do not, at least
appear at the meeting and let it be
known how you feel about it.
Don't stay away and then kick about
the outcome.

Former WinsIow Man
Wanted In Williams

Martin B. Startzman, formerly a
resident of, and well-known in Wins
low, suddenly ended his term as clerk
and treasurer of the town of Williams
last Saturday when, it is alleged,
defalcations covering practically all
of his term were about to be expos
ed.
Startzman, it is asserted, took the
money, as far as can be discovered
only at such times as he received
checks for taxes due Williams from
the county treasurer. His habit, it is
said, was to await the coming of a
tax check, then pocket from the cash
he had on hand an amount equal to
the face of the check, afterward de-
posting the check and the amount re-
naming over from cash in the bank
to the credit of the town. His short
age, it is said, is several thousand
dollars.
Startzman was for about two years
head of the hardware department OF
Babbitt Bros. Trading company. He
left here about three years ago and
| located in Williams where he rapidly
became well-known and sufficiently
popular to be elected to the position
of trust he just violated.

ENGINEER FROM
HIGHWAY DEPT.
INSPECTS ROAD

Ralph G. Jones, assistant highway
engineer of the U. S. bureau of pub
lie roads, with headquarters at Phoe
nix, was in Winslow Thursday and
Friday of this week, making the reg
ular inspection on the several federal
aid highway projects under construc-
tion near Winslow.
The bureau of public roads is a part
of the United States department of
agriculture and has direct supervision
over the highway Improvements in
which federal funds are involved. AS
early as 1912, congress saw the rapid
increase in automobiles and motor
trucks, and Immediately provided
funds for highway improvements, un-
til at present the appropriations for
federal aid highways is larger than all
other state aid acts. 1t is estimated
that for the fiscal year 1923 federal
aid amounted to $125, 900, and the
estimate for the present year is $780,
100000. Since the establishment of
the federal aid act, up to and includ-
ing June 80, 1924, the government has
distributed approximately $465, ,000,-
900 for the improvement of 32,452
miles of highway. This vast expen-
diture has been matched with funds
from the states, cooperative funds of
the forest service, and from local au-
thorities, by direct taxation or bond
issues.
Arizona has Jared we'll in the
amount of state aid received from the
federal government. In the last fiscal
year Arizona paid as federal aid taxes
$2,131 ,288 and received as state aid a
total of $995,331, or AZ per cent.
The bureau of public roads makes
regular inspections of all highway
work on which the federal aid has
been applied, and in addition, makes
it's own surveys, plans and estimates,
as we'll as handling the actual con-
struction of the major highways with
in the national forests. The impor-
tance of this bureau has gradually in
creased until at present about one
half of all highways in the course OF
construction are receiving federal aid
and are subject to inspection and ap-
proval by federal engineers.
There are two federal aid projects
under construction west of WinsloW
and they have been progressing in a
satisfactory manner, however, the re-
cent cold weather and snow have
greatly hindered their early compile
tion. Surfacing of the project begin
ming at the county line west of Wins
low will be started within the next
few days.
Mr.. Jones states that several federal
aid projects in the vicinity of Gallut
on the Winslow-G up-Albuquerque
/ highway have heen practically at a
stand still for over one month, due tC
the heavy SHOWS and frozen earthworB
in the partly constructed roadway.

Western Pine Manufacturers assocla-
tion grading rules.
Additional Timber Available Ill the
Region
In addition to the 287 million feet
of national forest timber, there is IN
the unit approximately Al million feet
of private timber. According to the
management plan, which is in force
on the Sitgreaves National forest, the
timber tributary to this operation IS
estimated at 100000 M feet. The
management plan provides that this
timber will cut at a rate not exceed
ing 80 million feet annually. AT tnls
rate there is enough virgin timber on
this working circle to last Tor 10
years. At the end of this period IL
is estimated that the forest may De
again cut over at about this same
rate. This, therefore, means that
there is a permanent operation pos
sible on this forest. The remained
of the timber is similar or better
quality than the timber included IN
the sale. other units will be offered
for sale when logging on this one IS
completed.
Necessary Railroad Development
To log this timber in the most sat
isfactory manner will call for the
construction of 19 miles of main line
to reach the timber and approximate
ly $50 miles of spur track.
Average railroad construction VIII
not be difficult and the main line
grade can be held to per cent against
the loads and per cent against the
empties. The grades on the spur
track will, for the most part, be light
and very seldom exceeding 4 per cent
mostly per cent to per cent
