AVERAGE OF OVER
FIFTEEN FREIGHT
TRAINS DAILY IS
WEEKS RECORD

During the last 10 days freight
business on the Santa Fe road
through Winslow has been excep-
tionally heavy with as many as II
trains going through in one day,
and with an average of over Is
trains daily being maintained for
the last week. A second switch
engine and creww has been added
at the local yards to take care of
the extra trains.
The increase in business is due
principally to east-bound green
fruit trains and a few special
stock trains. Saturday Is trains
passed through with eight of the
number green fruit extras. Sun
day the same number of trains was
maintained with the same number
of fruit trains and two stock
trains. On Monday the number of
trains increased to II with nine
green fruit trains. Tuesday the
number dropped to 16 trains with
10 green fruit extras while on
Wednesday the nmuber of trains
increased again to II with eight of
the number green fruit trains All
trains were full with over Sc cars.
During the past 10 days an aver
age of 402 cars has been iced daily
at the local ice dock. Saturday
the number was 484, Sunday 454,
Monday 515, and Tuesday 497. The
number of 515 cars Monday, mark
ed the highest number of cars to
be iced at the local plant in any
one day since it has been estab
lished. The average amount of ice
required to ice car is one ton,
which fact shows that the plant
has been called upon during the
last 10 days to put out between
400 and 500 tons of ice daily for
use in refrigeration cars in addi-
ton to the commercial ice distri-
buted by the plant. Since the
daily output of the plant is about
240 tons per day, about half the
ice used during the past 10 days
has come from the winter storage
house.

MINES TO PAY
LARGER SHARE
Of STATE ms.
N'bR|DE SAYS

That the mines of Arizona will
ance fund to be established under
the workmen's compensation act
was brought out today through
figures compiled and made public
by F. j. K Mcbride, member of
the executive committee of the AS
sOciation for the Protection of In
ductrial Legislation.
1T is well known that the min
ing industry in Arizona pays di-
rectly AZ per cent of the taxes of
the state and indirectly consider
ably more, but it may not be gen
orally appreciated that the mines
and smelters will contribute a
much greater share of the state in
surance fund to be established un-
der the new workmen's compenSa-
tion act" said Mcbride today.
with their annual payroll of
$29,0O0,000 and their 10000 en-
ployees, nearly all of whom are
employed in the most hazardous oc-
cupations, the mines and smelters
of Arizona, it has been estimated,
will contribute more than 80 per
cent of the state insurance fund.
."If the mines pay annually $780,
900 into the fund while farmers
employing more than three per-
sons in the use of machinery pay
total of $4,000, which appears
to be maximum figure, the farm
ers would contribute only four per
cent to the state insurance fund,
assuming that no other industries
were included. When it is remem-
bered that all railroad employees
except those engaged in Interstate
commerce and all other employers
of labor working three or more
persons are included, the percent
age which the farmers will contri-
butte shrinks into insignificance
"The large amount which will be
paid by the mines is due first to
their enormous payroll as Arizona's
largest industry, and secondly to
the fact that the insurance rate
applying to the hazardous occupa-
tionS of mining and smelling will
be many times that applying to
farm labor The farmer who avails
himself of the opportunity for pro-
lection from damage suits afford
ed by the workmen's compensation
act will pay at a rate based solely
on injuries sustained by farm work.
ers and in spite of false statements
circulated by ambulance chasing
lawyers who are seeking to defeat
the amendment, he will in no way
be called upon to assume any of
. the burdens of the mining indusA

Robert Carter was chosen winner
of the tree-planting contest Satur-
day afternoon by a committee OF
the Woman's club who were ap-
pointed judges. The contest was
started last spring when the wo-
mans club offered a cash prize of
$40 to the youngster who would
plant trees in the spring and have
the most living in September.
In order to encourage younger
children it was not required that
the children actually plant the
trees, but that they should influence
some older person to do the neces-
sary heavy work, after which the
youngsters were to care for them.
Many new trees in the town were
unclaimed by the children, al
though claimants for 227 were
found.
Of this number comparatively
few were found outside of yards on
the side walks, which fact surpris-
the rules of the contest, double
credit was to be given for such
trees, as it was the desire of the
committee to encourage the plant
ing of trees along the walks to i'm
prove the appearance of the streets.
Other children who made splen-
did showings in the tree-planting
contest were Frank FarnswOrth,
Winifred Morris, Amparo Seravia,
Jack Thomas, Inez Logsturg and
Evelyn Phillips
The committee believes that the
children have had much pleasure
in watching their trees grow from
the apparent interest they manifest
ed in their work. At the Seravia
home the committee found special
care being taken to prop the trees
to make them grow straight. The
prize will be awarded in the near
future

Five Children Carried to
Safety as Two S. A.

Awakened by the scorch of flames,
leaping about her bed before dawn
Friday. Mrs. Petra Hernandez, so,
1907 FL Paso street, beat her way
through the blaze that filled her bed
room and leaped from a window to
safety.
In the confusion, she could not find
the key to the door, which she had
carefully locked before retiring
Thursday night.
Next door, Santos and Manuel Al
maguer, father and grandfather, were
singed as they struggled in and out
their blazing home, carrying five small
children to safety.
Mrs. Almaguer also escaped.
Both houses were destroyed, but the
loss was covered by insurance. They
belonged to Frank Pizzini.
Mrs. Hernandez and the Almaguers
lost all their household possessions.
When Mrs. Hernandez was awaken
ed by the heat, flames were leaping
I'D on either side of her bed.
The window offered the only es'
cape. Beating back the flames with
bedding as she went, Mrs. Hernandez
made her way to the window. 1t
was closed and she was compelled to
break the glass before she could leap
through. Her hair was singed and her
hands and face scorched.
The elder Almaguers were awakened
before the fire had enveloped their
house as completely as that of Mrs.
Hernandez, but they, too, had to fight
their way through flames before all CT
the children had been taken out.
Until Tuesday, Manuel Almaguer
operated a grocery store in his resi-
dencc. On that day he moved the
stock of goods into a nearby store
house, which was untouched by the
fire.
Cause of the fire has not been de-
termincd.
