Get Thrilling Message

Several of the many Winslow

cy sent out by the Hastings, Ne
braska, station one night this week,
which made them realize as never
before. the magnitude of wireless
influence.
During the regular advertised
program of Hastings, the announ-
Ger interrupted with word that a
message had just been received
from Kirkendall Trading company,
of Canada, that one of there ships
had been caught in an ice foe, and
that the location was not exactly
known, but the survivors were in
precarious condition, and the an
nouncers asked the cooperation of
all sending stations to get word to
the stations above the artic circle
to send provisions and men to,their
aid at once. The message was re-
peated at few minute intervals and
with an increased power, so that
the waves could be sent to the far
therest reaches of the north.

Impressed With WeltOn

Mr. and Mrs Chester Smith re-
turned last week from Phoenix.
where they spent a week at the
fair, and at Welton Me- a,
a section of the state that i'm
pressed them very favorably as
a land of great possibility. Mr..
Smith, on his return said: "Welton
is adjacent to the Yuma Mesa,
where oranges, lemons, grapefruit,
dates and early vegetables are
grown with astounding success. Just
recently electricity was extended
to the Welton Mesa at low cost.
There is an inexhaustible supply
of underground water. Welton is
on the main line of the S. P, and
in the junction point of the new
main line through Phoenix Since
the advent of electricity a number
of wells have been put down. and
new ground is being broken for
orchards, and large acreage will
be devoted to early winter veget-
ables. And, by the way, the most
famous date tree in the state is at
Welton."

WinslOw Skunks Needles
Indians By Score 81 to 0

All together now folks! Hip!
hip! hurrah! Anyhow, who was it
that said the Meteor City's foot
ball talent was the "bunk?'
Last Saturday the shop appren-
tice grid team left on train No. Fl
for Needles, California, to wreck
revenge on the gigantic Indian ag-
gregation of that city. They sure
enough brought home the bacon, !"
and 1 don't mean maybe. The In
dians defeated our boys in a hard
fought battle at the local stadium
on October 18th, by score of II
to 7, but in last Sundays game,
Winslow did not let Needles have
even a smell. Despite their average
80 pounds heavier weight, the In
dians could not hold the appren-
tice line, or stop brilliant end runs
and when the Meteorite team open
ed up on their forward pass aerial
attack, the big redskins were COM
pletely baffled. After the last
whistle had been footed" and the
dust settled, Winslow had 80 count
ers and Needles had goose egg.
Alta OF way gang! Now let's
"go over big" at Wellington, Kan
sas, on Thanksgiving and bring
) home the eggs" Then we'll have
bacon and - as well as the
Santa Fe system championship.

More Trees Used For
TOOthpicks Than For
Christmas Tree Use

The JOY that the Christmas tree
brings to children far outweights
any damage that the cutting of
these small trees does to the for
est, the United States forest ser
vice stated in describing the tinsel
bearer of the yuletide.
AS matter of fact, the service
pointed out, the annual harvest of
Christmas trees is exceeded many
times by those used in the manu-
facture of toothpicks.
Roughly estimated six billion
evergreens constitute the yearly
cut of Christmas trees, all of which
could be produced on six thousand
acres of land. The service COM
pares this area with the 14,00O,0O0
acres that are swept away by for

W|NSLOW HAS
A GREAT DEAL
FOR WHICH TO
GIVE THANKS

Winslow properly observed yes
terday as a day of thankfulness for
the many blessings bestowed dur
ing the year, and the Individual
homes were centers of groups of
home folks and visitors observing
this, the most American of all our
holidays. Even the defeat of the
Winslow high school team by Will
llams on the local field, and word
that the Winslow boys combating
on an eastern field had been van
quished, did not disturb the spirit
of the day.
A great many visitors from out
side points were guests in the city.
Neighbors entertained each other
at dinner.
Thanksgiving services were held
throughout the city, the Protestant
churches uniting in service at the
Methodist church, with Rev E. Her
bert Hayden delivering the sermon.
DR.. Hayden used the Thanksgiv-
AAAS AUCo dO IIC IucIIl6 lOI HIS SER
mon and spoke to his congrega-
tion of the many blessings accord
ed the individual, the city, state and
nation, stating, however, that too
much Importance is attached to the
physical resources and wealth of
the nation rather than on the spir-
1tual and the fundamental faith and
piety of the nation and those un-
derlying things which had made
the country great. He illustrated
his sermon with extracts from the
lecture of DR.. Henry Van Dyke,
stating that "it is the moral and
spiritual ideals of any people which
make them great"
DR.. Hayden reminded his hear
ers that America was born of a
praying people and that the reason
this country was great, was not
alone because of it's great expanse
of fertile lands, mineral wealth or
other physical resource, but be-
cause its people had been nurtured
in the faith of the founders of the
country, and the character of the
people developed in freedom of
thought and act.
DR.. Hayden's address was heard
by large congregation. Special
music aided in making the service
one of great attraction and inspira-
ton.

NO FRIENDLY SUIT
TO PRESERVE GAME
RIGHTS In KAIBAB

ct will be no friendly suit on
our part" Governor Hunt informed
Hanley Thompson, attorney for the
Forest Service at Odgen, Utah,
when the later appeared last week
to confer with Governor Hunt, re-
lative to the proposed friendly"
suit which the forest service is
planning to file in the federal court
to test the right of the state of
Arizona to regulate the hunting Of
deer in the Kaibab forest.
The governor further informed
Attorney Thompson that he would
take every step necessary to see
that the laws of the state of Ari-
zona were upheld in the matter.
He declared that he had no inter-
est in the matter other than to see
that states rights" were not in
vaded.
"The issue is not the deer" the
governor informed the attorney for
the forest service, "but whether or
not the government may further in
wade the sovereign state and claim
ownership of it's resources" The
governor intimated that the matter,
if necessary would be carried to
the supreme court of the United
States in an effort to determine
that point.
The question of the ownership
of the deer in the Kaibab National
forest has been at issue since late
in September of this year when
Governor Hunt issued a proclama-
tion declaring that the state game
laws must be observed in the hunt
ing of deer in the Kaibab National
forest.
Prior to the issuance of that
proclamation, G. M. Willard, state
game warden, had issued a state
ment that the state and forest SER
vice were cooperating together in
the opening of the Kaibab National
forest to deer hunters in order to
cut down the herd which had over
stocked the range to such extent
that the determination of the en-
tire herd was threatened
Under that agreement, the hunt
ers were to be allowed to kill three
deer each and to pay fee of S.
per head for each deer killed. The
season was to last from October l
until November 30. A few days
prior to the opening of the season,
the governor took a hand in the
matter, and abrogated the agree
ment between the state and the
forest service in an executive proc
lamation.
The proclamation stated that the
game laws of Arizona must be OBJ
served in hunting in the forest. I'm
der the state law, the deer could
be hunted only during the month of
October, only one deer with horns
could be killed by. each hunter,
non-residents would pay a license
of $40 hunt while residents would
pay the regular hunting license fee.
No fees were to be paid the gov
ernment
Last week, Attorney Thompson,
came to Arizona and conferred with
United States District Attorney
John B. Wright, of Tucson, rela-
tive to the filling of a friendly"
suit in the federal district court
of Arizona to test the question of
the ownership of the deer herd in
the forest and whether the forest
service could fix rules for the hunt
ing of the deer.
