Our Washington Letter
mnnnIImI

ents the president is in a position tc
sound out public opinion on his pro
posed policies before they are put
into effect. By using the press in
this way he is in a position to change
his course when critical questions
develop.
The public at large, even great
men of the nation, cannot question
the president on his views or actions.
The press, however, enjoys the priv
lege of making enquiries at all times
and it is to the interest of the White
House occupant to reply. The ques-
tions submitted In advance at the
meetings of the president with cor
respondents allow him to guage the
trend of public opinion. He formu-
lates his answers accordingly and
they are in turn dispatched to the
four corner of the earth.
In fairness to Mr.. Coolidge it may
be said that sometimes he replies to
questions in an authoritative way and
upon which he has not been fully in
formed. 1t is in instances of this
kind that he is frequently misinter-
preted, which results in an unfortun-
ate situation for the newspaper and
for the president.
Veteran Washington correspond
ents say that Mr.. Coolidge is the most
frank of recent presidents. Theo-
dore Roosevelt was %freqently charg-
ed with taking unfair advantage of
newspaper correspondents. It is said
that Mr.. Roosevelt would give out in
person interviews on great public
questions which the newspapers
would credit to the mysterious
"White House spokesman" If the
reaction was unfavorable and if at
tributed to the president, claim is
made that Roosevelt would promptly
deny the authority of such state
ments. This brought him into bad
standing with the correspondents who
were often diciplined by their home
offices. Many of them refused point
blank to play the role of the cats
paw with the public.
Woodrow Wilson, it is said, made
the mistake of stopping the press
conferences. He resorted to the
mimeographed, or Canned inter
views" which proved an inadequate
for personal conferences.
The last of authentic information re-
in vague whisperings bringing
about delicate situations. Interviews
Mr.. Wilson would have dissi-
pated these wild rumors and created
favorable public reaction.
In an effort to insure a higher
of accuracy in reporting the
White House spokesman, a sugges-
ton has been made this week that
stenographic report of the questions
and answers between the president
and reporters be made available
a few minutes after the meet
.ngs adjourned.
1t is reasonable to believe that if
The president discontinues these con-
'erences he will find his time taken
Up with definitely settling slight ru-
nors which invariably arise whether
censorship direct or indirect is in

Inspection Station
At Springerville

In order to more fully protect
the agricultural and horticultural
industries of Arizona from insect
pests or plant diseases that might
be introduced by automobile traf-
fic, a road inspection station will
be established at SpringerVi1le.
This decision was reached by DR..
Oscar G. Bartlett, state entomolo-
gist, after spending several days
investigating traffic conditions
DR.. Bartlett finds that automobiles
from practically every state in the
Union either pass through or stop
over at Springerville and that the
larger majority of these cars carry
fruits or vegetables that have new
er been subjected to inspection for
pests or diseases.
Other inspection stations are
now maintained at Yuma, Daggett
and Blythe and other towns on the
border of California
During June there were 1850
automobiles inspected. Among
these were found ninety-seven vio-
lations of the quarantine pertain
ing to cotton boil weevil and the
pink boil worm.

Hats for Fall Arrive
For Local Displays

Snug felt hats with just the right
lines to be exceedingly chic have
arrived at the local stores and
shops. Some are hand painted with
colorful designs in flowers, while
others are quite plain, the cOlors
of the felt itself being very bright.
Shades of red, with just a bit of
the brickish tinge, seem to domi-
nate the displays, although purple
rivals as a close. second. used in
the rich pansy shades.
The shapes of these new hats
are varied. The tendency, however,
seems to be for the turn-up and
roll-back, while the turned-down
brim suffers a lapse in popularity
after a run during the last two
years.
Something new which has not
been featured before as it is this
year is the showing of chic felt
hats for youngsters. The shapes
are simple and becoming to the
little faces that have just passed
the stage of babyhood. The brims
roll softly and the colors are
bright, like those all children love.

Ford Motor Company
Breaks Record in June

A new June sales record was
established by the Ford Motor COM
pany during the month just past,
says Clyde Matthie, local Ford
dealer, when approximately 5000
more Ford cars and trucks were
delivered to retail customers in the
United States than during the same
month year ago, which held the
previous high mark for June.
Reports indicate continued
large volume of business through
the summer months, with a high
er buying level than is usual dur
ing this season of year. The out
look is for another record-breaking
month for July. Urgent requests
for additional shipments have made
necessary increasing the company's
July production schedule, which
now calls for several thousand
more cars and trucks than were
produced in June.
Sales figures just given out by
the company show that the total
sales for June were 195,300 Ford
cars and trucks. Of this number,
1926 represent domestic sales,
as compared with 170,547 cars and
trucks sold in June year ago.
Buying conditions also continue
good in the high-priced car mar
ket. Evidence of this appears in
the sales of Lincoln cars during
June, with deliveries to domestic
customers totaling S92, an increase
of 95 over June a year ago.

WATER filter
.TOBE PART OF
SYSTEM

Within a few months all water
supplying the city mains will be
filtered, it has been announced, this
treatment of the water being pos
sible because of the 100, ,000-gallon
water tank that is to be erected
soon by the Santa Fe. The tank
will be erected about half way be-
tween the Santa Fe station and the
stock yards, and will be used ex-
clusively for city water, while the
tank at the roundhouse will be
used exclusively by the railroad
except in cases of emergency.
The new tank will stand on an
eighty-foot tower and will afford
a thirty w-five-pOund pressure in the
city mains, whereas with the pres
ent system the pressure is some
times as low as fifteen pounds,
Work probably will start on the
tower construction early in August
and it is estimated that the tank
will be ready for connection with
the city mains within four months
after the work is begun.
Filters were installed at Clear
creek five years ago, but it has
been impossible to use them be-
cause the volume of water used by
the system was too great. With
the installation of the new tank the
city water alone will be pumped
into the settling reservoir at the
creek, and this volume can be han
died by the filters. The use of the
filters will insure clear, pure wa
ter at all times, it is said, while
the water will be treated with
chlorine as it is now
The intake at the dam is to be
altered so that part of the water
will be carried into an irrigation
ditch which leads to the round
house, where it will be pumped
into the tank there The new i'm
provements will increase the sup
ply of water for the railroad also,
it is said.

FROM OLD
TIME RESIDENT IS
OF
THE WINSLOW MAIL

A letter from Benjamin Downs,
formerly a resident of WinslOw
and now president of the village
of Woodruff, ILL.,, has been received
by The Mail, in which Mr. Downs
expresses his appreciation of the
paper and extends greetings to his
many friends here. Mr.. Downs
younger brother, Dude Downs
was the first white child born in
WinsloW, and his father was the
first section foreman on the Santa
Fe here.
Mr.. Downs and his father built
the building which stands on the
corner Of Kinsley avenue and Sec
and street, now occupied by the
Winslow Drug store and the Brandt
hotel. In the early days Mr.
Downs was a member of the terri
torial legislature.
The letter follows:
woodruff, ILL.,,
July Is, 1925.
Editor The Mail:
When your Save a Dollar" card
arrived l was broke, so could not
take advantage of your good ad-
vice. However, l am inclosing
$3.50 for renewal for The Mail.
I wish to congratulate the peo-
pie of Winslow for having such an
up-to-date news service. l assure
you that l was pleased some time
ago when l read an article from
The Winslow Mail in the Literary
Digest.
l remember funny thing that
happened to Mr.. Buck, Winslow's s
first editor. During Harrison's ad-
ministration, the president was to
pass through Winslow on one OF
the early morning trains. Nat
urally, most of the people, includ-
ing Mr. Buck, assembled at the
station to see our president. Buck
and some of the rest of us had been
up rather late, or perhaps early
the night before. Buck introduced
himself to Mr.. Harrison and pre-
sented his card Harrison looked
at the card and returned same tC
Buck. 1t proved to be meal tick
ct on Sam Wings restaurant.
1t does not seem long since
left Winslow but when l check UP
| see it will be ten years in Sep
tember So many changes have
taken place there during that time
| fear l would hardly know my old
home town. So many of my old
friends have passed away. Your
locals always have more strangers
than old acquaintances.
At the present time Illinois
looks as though she will produce
enough food this year to feed the
world for years to come. We are
just through harvesting wheat and
oats. The corn is simply wonderful
for this time of year.
Remember me kindly to any OF
my old acquaintances. l think OF
Winslow often and lots of times
recall the pleasant years spent in
dear old Arizona.
With best wishes for success,
am
Respectfully yours,
BENJAMIN DOWNS.

the head of an ancient stone toma-
hawk while exploring east of the
Quaile ranch few weeks ago. 1t
is much larger than is usually
found
R. M. Bruchman, local Indian
trader, says that these big stone
hammers were, lashed to club
handles by the use of horsehair or
rawhide thongs. The Indians used
them to kill animals, laying in wait
for the wild ones on the trail to
some water hole and welding the
tOmahaWk from ambush.
