Ravel out few yarns from the fabric,
taking samples both from the warp
and filing, from stripes, checks and
different parts of the pattern. Un-
twist these yarns and observe and test
the fibers singly or in punches. Cot
ton fibers will appear short, dull and
fuzzy. When match is applied the
fibers burn rapidly with yellow
flame, which leaves only small
amount of gray ash.
Linen fibers are long, rather stiff
and lustrous. They burn like cotton,
but leave blunt ends. A linen fabric
always feels cool to the touch. A drop
of moisture will spread much. more
rapidly on linen than on cotton. OF
course, the final and determining test
is to examine the fabrics under a

Hold the fabric up to the light and
observe the firrnness. Pull the yarns
apart with the fingernails. If they
slip easily the fabric will pull at
the seams. Tear sample to note its
strength. Pull out specimens of both
the warp and filling threads and COM
pare them. A fine warp will not stand
the strain from heavy filing and
hence such a fabric is not strong.

Columbus Day Was
Observed Only By
The Bankers Here

Yesterday was Columbus day. 1t
would have passed almost without
recognition had the two local banks
not observed the holiday, surpris-
ing a great many people who had
checks and cash they wanted to de-
posit yesterday morning, finding the
bank doors closed against them.
Celebrations of Columbus day are
generally left in the hands Of the
Knights of Columbus, and on pre-
vious years programs have been
rendered by the local council, but
this year no attempt was made to
observe the holiday. The schools
prepared for no special programs.
1t was on August 3, 1892, that
Christopher Columbus set sail from
Palos, Spain, in his three little yes
sells, the Santa Maria, the Pinta
and the Nina, with a crew of 120
officers and men. He gave his cap
tains instructions to sail not more
than 700 leagues and when the dis
tance had been traversed without
sighting land, there were many mu-
TIMES which were Quelled by the
energetic action of Captain Pinzon.
In the early morning hours of Octo-
ber II, 1892, land was discovered
and the explorers made a landing
on the island now known as San
Salvador. This was the discovery
of the New World.

Arizona Attacks The
Minimum Wage Law
In Supreme Court

The right of states to fix a mini
mum wage by law, especially with
regard to women, was argued last
week before the United States su-
preme court in a case from Arizona.
Counsel for the state contended
that in the exercise of police power,
Arizona could protect the health
of its citizens by prescribing work
ing conditions. In extending such
protection, he said, nothing was
more important than that women
should receive what the state de-
termined was sufficient wage to
provide for the necessaries of life.
Counsel for A. Sardell an Ari-
IONA storekeeper, who has obtained
an Injunction from the federal
court in this state restraining the
enforcement of the law, insisted
that it was an unlawful interfer-
ence with the right of contract, and
that the minimum wage of SIG a
week for women fixed by Arizona
constituted confscation.

Western Newspaper
Union Compliments

The Western Newspaper Union,
one of the largest news and SER

takes opportunity to compliment
The Winslow Mail on the use re-
Gently of one of their features tied
to a local story. Local readers
will remember it, The compliment
tary letter, written by Resident
Manager J. o. Goodwin, of Denver,
follows:
"a copy of The Winslow Mail
came to my attention this morn
ing, being your issue of October
6, and l note how you have used
the Kettner cartoon and tied up
with it your article about grape
shipments in your territory. l
think it is a mighty fine idea and
/ want to compliment you on it.
Perhaps it might have been a
great deal better had | been in on
some of the grape stuff, but dis
tance prevents, nevertheless it
shows you fellows down there are
'on your toes and know how to
take care of a story when it steps
before you.
again let me compliment you on
this tie-up. 1t certainly is dandy
and I am going to send it to a friend
of mine and show him how you
print newspapers down in Navajo
county"

STATE LEADS
nation IN ITS
ACTIVITY FOR
PREPAREDNESS

Major General Ernest Hinds.
commanding officer of the eighth
corps area with headquarters at
San Antonio, Texas, was visitor
in Winslow Saturday evening.
General Kinds was accompanied
by Colonel A. S. Williams, his chief
OF staff in charge of training and
operations and Lieutenant Alvord
Jones, his adjutant.
The party are making an annual
inspection of military posts in the
eighth corps area, which includes
the states of Texas, Colorado, Ok
lahoma, New Mexico and Arizona.
Among their stops will be an in
spection of the new military road
under construction at Grand Can
yon.
The general stated that Arizona
was fifth in the number of reserve
officers according to the population
and that the 103d, this division.
Arizona, was leading the other
units OF the country, both in ac-
tivities and personnel
The party would not comment on
the Mitchell controversy now rag
ing in Washington.
After leaving Grand Canyon the
party will proceed to Prescott,
where an inspection will be held
at Whipple Barracks, and recon-
mendations made for any improve
ment needed.
Lieut.. Chas. j. McQuillan, presi-
dent of the Winslow sector of re-
serve officers, met the party at Gal
lup and entertained them at dinner
at the Harvey House.
General Kinds asked many ques-
tions about Winslow and was very
anxious to know if any provisions
had been made for a landing field
here. He was told that all pro-
visions had been made and that the
city authorities were open for sug-
gestions for the betterment of the
facilities.

Booze Stolen From
Apache Court House

Sheriff Buffers fifteen gallons of
good bootleg booze, taken in a raid
few weeks ago, was stolen last
Saturday evening from the county
Jail and the court house is now
bone dry" Sheriff Butler was at
McNary Saturday night and for a
few hours no one happened to be
around the court house
The booze was stored in the
ladies" cell which has an iron
barred window on the south side.
1t was only necessary to draw the
bolts and pull the window out at
the bottom, making an opening
through which a full ten-gallOn
keg was taken besides a number
of jugs and fruit jars full of liquor.
Not a drop was left in the cell.
1t is said no one knew exactly
where the booze was stored except
the court house crowd, but of
course that must be a mistake as
no one around the court house
would drink bootleg booze, much
less break in and steal it.
Joe Hale and Charley Crane, the
men who were held up by officers
near Concho a few weeks ago and
relieved of the booze in question,
are still in the county Jail waiting
to be turned over to the federal
officers.-St. Johns Observer.

THE WINSLOW MAIL
WILL ABOLISH THE
TUESDAY EDITION

Since last spring The Winslow
Mail has been issued twice a week.
but beginning with next week the
Tuesday edition will be dropped
and the once-a-week paper resum-
ed: The experiment more than once
week issues has been carried on
for the half a year with the idea
of improving the service of the
paper as fast as conditions in
Winslow permit, and intent of be-
ginning a daily paper with full
press reports and other features
just as soon as the population be-
came large enough to warrant.
The Mail is convinced that the
two issues a week were more than
satisfactory to the subscribers, as
is attested by their willingness to
pay the increased subscription
price, but it seems impossible to
secure advertising contracts for an
early-in-the-week paper. Even the
largest papers are confronted with
the problem of battling with small
patronage in their Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday issues, adver-
tising increasing daily until the
Sunday paper, when it drops back
to the small paper of Monday. A
semi-weekly paper has the same
problem. Most all local and foreign
advertisers prefer the Friday issue
to the Tuesday. For that reason
the Tuesday paper has been small
er than we liked, and the Friday
issue, when contained within eight
pages, more crowded with ads than
was pleasing. Therefore we have
decided to increase the size of the
Friday paper, and drop the Tues
day.
All subscribers who, since the
semi-weekly was started have paid
subscription at the rate of four dol
lars a year, and all those who dur
ing June and July paid three dol
lars on the special offer of the
Mail for years subscription, will
have their expiration dates set for
ward four months. The subscrip-
tion price hereafter will be three
dollars year as formerly. All
those who paid four dollars will be
given credit.
This will be the last Tuesday
edition of The Winslow Mail.

STATE FILES 1O4
SUITS ON LANDS
UNDER LYMAN DAM

Attorney General John w. Muir
ply, on behalf of the state of Ari-
zona, has filed in the supreme court
of Apache county 104 foreclosure
suits on Lyman dam lands.
This action is taken to recover
money loaned by the state and to
recover taxes which had been de-
linquent for three years and were
finally paid by the state.
The state loaned $672,OOO on Ly-
man lands, go per cent of it going
to interest holders of Denver, Colo
RADIO. About five years interest is
back on this loan.
The 104 suits are brought against
that number of individuals, all non
residents, and the Lyman Land
company jointly. The Denver in
terests, it is claimed, transferred
the property to individuals in or
der to get larger loans than the
limit of $4,000 allowed under the
state law. Then, after the loans
had been secured, the property was
turned back to the Lyman Land
company. The successful working
of this little SCENE has complicated
matters and will add greatly to the
costs of bringing the suits.
This is the beginning that will
in the end bring affairs to show
down between the state and the
Lyman Land company. Local peo-
pie are hoping that the outcome of
the states interference will put
them in position to know where to
begin and what to do in the future.

tract call for completion within
forty working days. 1t is estimated
that the building will be finished

Nine Young Ladies
Spend Wet Weekend
AT Natural Bridge

Nine young ladies from Winslow,
nurse, life insurance agent and
seven teachers, spent Friday and
Saturday on camping trip to the
Natural Bridge near Pine, but all
the water that they saw was not
flowing under the bridge but COM
ing down in torrents from the
cloud-laden sky. The party was
composed Of the Misses Eva Cald-
we'll, Florence Klein, Belle Oakley,
Nell Bloodgood, Leona Hall, Mary
Vern Coleman, Hortense Miller,
Verna Warner and Myra Hilliard
They made the trip in three auto
mobiles, going and returning via
BLY, ranger station and Strawberry
hill
The storm prevented their driv-
ing into the canyon in which the
Natural bridge is located, and they
had to descend and climb the mile
and half grade on rubber heels
instead of rubber tires, but they
were all tired when they got back
to their cars.
They camped in the woods the
first night out, but slept under a
friendly roof the second Sunday
evening dinner was cooked under
the dripping pines in the Sitgreaves
after which the party joined in
singing Shakespeare's woodland
ode from GAS You Like 1t" (but
they didn't seem to like it, as fol-
lows:
'Under the greenwood tree
Who loves to lie with me,
And tune his merry note
Unto the sweet birds throat?

hither;
No enemy shall he see,
But winter and rough weather"

Widow F ails To
Break Lowell VIII,
Observatory Safe

Efforts on the part of Mrs. Con-
stance Lowell, widow of the late
DR.. Percival Lowell, founder of the
Lowell observatory at Flagstaff to
break the will of the latter have
proven unavailing.
In the opinion and decision hand
ed down by the Arizona supreme
court the superior court of Coco
nino, from which an appeal was
taken by the widow, is upheld, and
the lower court is instructed to
proceed with the distribution of the
$2,000,000 estate.
The effect of the ruling is to give
Guy Lowell trustee for the residue
of the estate, absolute power to
sell the observatory, an anticipated
act which the widow sought to pre-
vent by breaking the will and or
ganizing new trust to take over
the observatory and maintain the
same at Flagstaff.
In the opinion, written by Judge
Henry D. Ross, it is stated:
eve are thoroughly satisfied that
he CDR. LowelD gave to his trustee
all his residuary estate in trust for
the use of the Lowell observatory,
with the present right and power
to sell the same, and that such
right and power to sell extends to
the realty upon which the observa-
tory is situated. AS an institution
the observatory was to be perpet-
ual. The study of astronomy was
to continue, although the telescopes
and apparatus now in use become
obsolete and the building that
houses them unfit. DR..
Lowell left his estate with his
trustee with powers untrammeled
to administer it. He knew this was
necessary to secure the best re-
suits"
In bringing action to break the
will, Mrs. Lowell said that she did
so in order to carry out the desires
of her husband that the observa-
tory be maintained at Flagstaff for
all time.

CITY LOST DURING
HUNT IN KAIBAB

F. c. Blum1ien, machine shop
foreman at the roundhouse, and
Chas. Grossman, inspector of loco
motives on the Santa Fe coast lines
who left here at the opening of the
deer season for a hunt in the Kai-
bab forest, returned Sunday after
noon, with thrilling tales of having
been lost in the great forest.
Grossman was lost for four days,
and Blumlien two days, neither
knowing that the other was lost.
During the time of their wander
ings it rained necessarily, and both
men were without matches or bed
ding for protection. Grossman lost
over twenty-five pounds while in
the woods, and Blumlien returned
from his stray considerably lighter
than when he went out. Govern
ment rangers secured the forest in
search for the two men.
Each returned with deer, how
ever, so counted their hardships as
naught.
