THE METEOR CITY

THE Wdnslow Mail feels that the
choice of "The Meteor City" as its
principal slogan was happy one
The mystery of the billion-ton bullet
that struck the old earth and gave ii
possibly it's hardest blow, will always
be a factor in the Identification OF
Winslow from among the myriads OF
other growing cities scattered over
the map of the land.
Even though no development or con-
tinued search for the star, believed to
lie somewhere beneath the appalling
pit ever comes about, the charm of
the mountain that is not really a
mountain, or the crater that is not
a crater, will forever earn the atten-
tion Of the passer-by, and create an
impression that will be forever unfor-
getable. Other cities capitalize their
most unique or attractive feature, es-
pecially those in which other cities
cannot compete. Surely no other city
in the known world has such an at
traction as Meteor Mountain, and
even though the "Railroader" whose
rhyme appears elsewhere in this is
sue, pokes good-natured fun at the
choice of Meteor City, as a slogan,
the opinion of The Mail, and the pre-
ponderance of public opinion will re-
main unchanged as to the aptness of
the slogan for this city.

THRIFT

IN commenting on the activities of
National Thrift Week, January II
to "a with Thrift Day." Postmaster
Al Kleindienst points out that it is
particularly fitting the postal service
should play an important part in these
activities and pay tribute to the first
and foremost advocate of thrift
Benjamin Franklin.
Although the first postmaster gen.
eral and renowned as philosopher,
patriot, diplomat, inventor and scien-
tist, his name will no doubt live long
est by the impression he has made as
an advocate of thrift. Many of his
writings on thrift have become clas-
sizes and will be remembered as long
as our language is read One of his

most famous saying forget
to have a penny when all thy ex-
penses are enumerated and paid
pears on the leaflet which the post
office department is putting into every
home. Postmaster General New in
an address delivered at 1924
thrift week meeting in Washington
said that if you add to this expression
that other one of Franklin us Incur
no expenses, except that which does
good to others or yourself" you will
have said all there is to say on the
subject of thrift
Postmaster Kleindienst also would
have the patrons of his office more
clearly understand the purpose and
functions of the Postal Savings sys-
TEN, the agency of the government by
which thrift is promoted. Contrary
to the conception of many, Postal Saw
ings in not bank While it is a saw
ings institution in the proper sense of
the term, its similarity to bank ends
at that point. The deposits received
from individuals are Immediately turn
ed over to local banks after bonds to
secure such deposits are received from
the banks as collateral
The policy of Postal Savings also
differs from that of savings banks and
other savings institutions. The most
humble patron of the office is well
coined at the Postal Savings window
His purchase of a 10-cent savings
stamp or his deposit of a single dol
lar is received as kindly and given as
courteous attention as the transac-
actions of the holder of million dol
lar account at any bank. And, again,
Postal Savings does not look with dis
favor on such of it's depositors who,
having accumulated a tidy sum, make
Withdrawals for the purchase of sound
investments, a home of business. 1t
is an educational service and if the
people can be brought to realize the
Importance Of saving a real service
will have been rendered and a definite
purpose accomplished.
While the redeposit of Postal Saw
ings funds in local banks insures to
the benefit of the community by re-
storing to active use in the channels
of trade funds which might otherwise
have remained in hiding in trunks,
under mattresses, ETC., and while
financial profit accrues to the govern
ment by reason of the operation of the
service, the real value of this SER
vice cannot be measured in dollars
and cents. 1t is potent force for
good in any community and plays an
important part in the upbuilding of
our country today.

Persistent Cold Weather
UnfavOrable For Livestock

Persistently cold weather through
out Arizona during the week has been
unfavorable for livestock generally
and reports of further shrinkage have
been received from a number of sta
tions. Where light to moderate snow
fall occurred, adding to that already
on the ground, feeding has been nee
essary. However, in the larger herds
feeding is not possible and animals
have had to depend on forage avail
able, either pasture or browse. Ow-
ing to low daytime temperatures snow
disappeared slowly from higher ele-
vations. Water is not available in
many sections as tanks, brooks and
water holes are frozen thus contribut-
ing to the discomfort Of stock.
Animals in the Whiteriver section
are in good condition and are holding
up well in the vicinity of Pinedale.
Cattle and sheep wintering in the low
er valleys are in good condition and
lambing continues to make good pro-
gress.

Gertrude S. Sampson
Dies In California

The following clipping from the
Mill Valley (California) Record was
received this week by The Winslow
Mail:
Mrs. Gertrude S. Sampson answer
ed the last summons at her home in
Spokane, Washington, Sunday, Janu-
ary II. She was 83 years of age and
the eldest sister of Mrs. Robert A.
Mills, who has for some years been
a resident of Mill Valley. Mrs. Samp-
son has been a recognized leader in
her home city, being an active mem
Der of the Woman's Relief Corps, Past
Worthy Matron of the Eastern Star
and Past President of the Spokane
Woman's club.
Mrs. Sampson leaves to mourn her
passing, two sisters and five sons. The
sad word came by telegram to Mrs.
Mills at Riverside, where she and Mr..
Mills are spending the winter with
relatives and where the genial cline
of the southern city has done much
to restore the health of Mr.. Mills"

is more than abundance in the pit to
cover every street of a town far Iarg-
er than Winslow. The gravel packs
well, its white color gives a clean ap-
pearance, ande while the pit is open
and contractors available to do the
hauling at moderate cost, the prop
erty owners should agree to correct
the bad conditions of the streets and
put them in a condition equal to the
new highway.
Too long have the dusts of summer
and the mud and frozen ruts of winter
made riding anything but a pleasure
in Winslow. Not only is riding dis
agreeable, but with the cars skidding
and slipping all over the right of way,
it is dangerous.
Pedestrian, too, will appreciate an
improved condition of the streets as
much as autoists or drivers of horse
drawn vehicles. Street crossings are
oftentimes in such shape that ones
temper, If not their soles, are ruined
by the mud and slush.
The city council hopes that some
property owners will at least make a
try with the rock surfacing, in the
expectation that paving problems
which will confront them later may
be simplified.

Public Opinion
Winslow, January 21, 1925


Editor Winslow Mail:
Dear Sir:-I take this opportunity
to thank you for publishing my hum
BILE lines of poetry two weeks ago.
Mr.. Editor, even if you had not
done so, it would not have lessened
my admiration for your splendid
weekly newspaper, which in my hum
BILE opinion is one of the best, cleanest
and most constructive in the great
Estate of Arizona.
It's interestingly, clever editorials,
and promotion of everything that is
good for Winslow, including the
splendid churches and schools, that
are second to none in the state.
1t is a consistant booster for the
greatest and best railroad in the
world, most of whose employees are
also great admirers of the paper, in
cluding that clever and versatile gen
tleman who contributes all the start
ling and very interesting railroad
news to the Santa Fe magazine.
May I hope that the good citizens
of Winslow and environs, will give
you the hearty support, to which you
are justly entitled, by subscribing for
the best and newsiest weekly in the
state of Arizona, The Winslow Mail.
Yours very truly,
JACK O'BRIEN.

Judge Hearing
WUte1" Cases i7l
Visit TO Sites

Testimony in the case of William
Brandenberg against the Imperial
, Irrigation District, was interrupted
this morning at 1890, when the
court recessed to allow Judge Jami
son to visit and inspect the site of
the district shops at Calexico, and
the proposed site at Imperial.
Brandenberg obtained temper
arv injunction several weeks, ago,
halting construction ON the Imper
ial shops. The district demurred
to the complaint, and the present
hearing is on the demurrer.
The court yesterday afternoon de-
MED a motion by Attorney Childers
of the Irrigation District. to declare
non-suit. in favor of the district.
The motion by Attorney Childers
came at the conclusion of the evil
lence introduced by the plaintiff,
Judge Jamison stated, while he
did not consider the alleged con-
spiracy on the part of Directors
Aten, Rose and Pound, to remove
the shops from Calexico in retalia-
ton forI Calexico s opposition to the
Swing Johnson bill sufficient to
cause excitement, he did believe the
directors did not show much discre-
tion in moving the shops and he be-
licved the hearing should continue.
! The district scored one victory
| in the court when Judge Jamison
sustained the demurrer filed to the
complaint by Roy Breedlove, asking
! for an injunction to restrain the
district from selling water for So
called reclamation of alkali lands
The plaintiff had offered an amend
! ed complaint and Attorney Childers
insisted that the court should de-
! eide the merits of the demurrer be-
fore allowing the amended com
plaint to be taken up. Judge Jami-
SON then sustained the demurrer,
and set May as the date for hear
ling the amended complaint.
In the course of the hearing on
the Brandenberg complaint, the
alleged conspiracy between Rose,
Aten and Pound entered into the
testimony, when the subject of re-
division of the district came up.
Mack Trentham, former director,
stated he had conferred with Rose
few days before the resolution
was voted on regarding the redivi-
sion, and that Rose stated he wish
ed to enlarge the CaleXico division
in order to defeat Director Brock
man.
It was expected that hearings
in the Brandenberg case would be
resumed this afternoon, following
the court S visit to CaleXico and
Imperial, and that the testimony
might possibly be completed to-
night.

TERR0REZER OF
MT. SIGNAL IS
INSANE, CLAIM

Bud James, 80, is held at the
county jail for investigation as to
his sanity, following his arrest near
Mt. Signal when he went on 4 ram
page with a gun and attempted to
kill one Rvans, a negro rancher.
From the incoherent statements
made by James following the at
tempted shooting, as well as since
his confinement at the jail, it is
believed by the authorities that he
is mentally deranged and arrange
ments will be made to have MIN sub
.iected to sanity hearing as soon
as possible.
James terrorized the Mt. Signal
section for several hours, on Tues
day, and was finally rounded up by
a posse of Officers and citizens from
CaleXico and vicinity.

MAY HALT TRIAL
OF CALHOUN TILL
FIRST OF WEEK
Law and Motion Day Will
Hold Up Activities
In Case

1t was stated at the court house
this noon, that the trial of Jim
Calhoun, accused of the murder of
Jean Hudson, will probably be halt
ed tonight and resumed again next
Monday. Tomorrow is law and mo-
tion day in the superior court, the
likelihood t;ar no sessions would be
held tomorrow or Saturday seemed
certain.
The defense opened its side of the
case yesterday afternoon, placing
William Bills and Dan Houston on
the stand. Bills testified regarding
an alteration between Calhoun and
Hudson on the merning of Dccem-
Der 26, during which Hudson made
an attempt to shoot Calhoun, which
was frustrated by Oi:ss.
Houston repeated remarks alleg-
ed to have been made by Hudson
when he returned to his pool room
following the incident related by
Bills, in which he stated that he
would have killed Calhoun except
that the latter begged for his life,
and Hudson is said to have sworn
that he would get Calhoun vet.
Efforts ON the part of the de
Tense to have the testimony of sew
eral witnesses read from the trans
cript of the first trial, were frus-
trated by District Attorney Utley,
who objected to the Introduction of
the testimony, the court sustaining
the objection. Several important
witnesses for the defense have left
the valley since the first trial and
could not be located for the present
trial.
In ease the defense testimony is
completed tonight, arguments to the
jury will be started Monday morn
ing, providing the court decides that
the ease shall be put over until that
time.

Don't Forget Your
License For
Fishing

Don t forget your license tOmor-
row morning when you start out on
your fishing jaunt, is the advice of
Penny Richmond, local game
warden. Tomorrow marks the first
day of trout fishing and it is ex-
pected that many valley fishermen
will take advantage of the event
and HE toward favored fishing
spots in San Diego County.
According to Richmond, many
people are under Il mistaken impress
sion in regard to the necessity for
state fishing license in San Diego
County.
"Due to the fact that San Diego
County officials have been very
lenient in the past stated Rich
mond today, "the idea has arisen
that n state fishing license is NOT
necessary in those. sections. How
ever, this is pot so, I have jist
received official notification from
E. II. Glidden, San Diego game
warden. saving that the license re-
gulation will be strictly enforced
this season and that any one found
fishing in lake or stream in San
Diego County without license
must suffer the consequences. "
Uiceises may be secured from
Richmond, the Imperial Valley
Hardware Company, Edgar Brothers
or any other store where fishing
supplies are sold.
