Last Wednesday Roy w. Hunt,
general fuel supervisor of the
Coast Lines, arrived on train No
22 from his Los Angeles office and,
after going over local affairs, left
for Gallup on train No. Thursday
Today at the noon hour there
will be much holding of breath and
a lot of strong wishing and maybe
praying when two big army style
rifles are ratified off. Here's to
the winner-the losers didn't have
a chance
1t pays to advertise! That's an
old newspaper slogan, but yet it's
new. Unlike picture hanging on
the wall, the dust does not cling
to it. It's always bright and clear,
like the morning sun. Why? Be-
cause it is absolutely the truth, and
the advertising powers of The
Winsiow Mail exemplifies this slo-
gan. Just ask H. B. Thornton.
Last Sunday Herman lost his
watch and placed a small ad in
Tuesdays issue of The Mail. Not
quite two hours after the paper
was off the press a lady walked
into the office with Mr.. Thornton's
gold watch and received a generous
reward of $5.

REDBONE HOUND
GETS CAUGHT IN
OPEN TAR TRAP

The Redbone hound, Lassie, be-
longing to Clifford Bundy was
found caught in the tar pit on
First street yesterday afternoon
and was extricated only after
neighbors had worked almost half
an hour. The tar pit is said to be
about eight feet deep, but because
the tar is very stiff due to evapora-
tion the dog did not sink above its
head before rescued. William Lam
caster, who helped to pull the dog
out, accidentally slipped and got
his hands fast in the tar. 1t was
necessary to cut the tar around his
hands with a shovel before he
could pull them out. A shovel was
used in freeing the dog, also
Lassie is a pure blood dog and
about twenty of her friends, men,
women and children, helped to res
cue her AS she was imbedded in
a cake of tar when taken from the
pit and totally exhausted, it was
hard to figure how she would ever
DO dUIC " uu .dOOuJ oSoN1I 1DJ CAAO
use of gasoline, kerosene and axle
grease, however, the cake has been
gradually worked away, but the tar
probably will remain in her coat
until the hair comes fof.
The pit holds the refuse of the
tar used in the last paving project
here and was rooted with sheet
1aff hxy
pany, but the roof is now caved in
on one side and the pit is an open
trap.
An article in the current issue
of the Mentor tells of natural
asphalt pit lying six miles west of
the center of Los Angeles, where
the bones of an amazing assort-
ment of prehistoric and modern an
imals has been found. Bones of
animals long extinct, belonging to
the Quaternary period have been
extricated from the pit.
1t is said that the fossils discov-
cred in this great pit are perfectly
preserved, complete in their origi-'
nal form and not replaced by lime
or other foreign substances.
The Los Angeles Museum has re-
ceived the greater part of the fos-
sils Elephants with tusks sixteen
feet in length have been taken from
the pit, as we'll as mastodons, in
Vulnerable camels, horses and BIZ
son, and skeletons of large birds.
An interesting feature regarding
the skeletons found is that there
was an average of ten carnivorous
animals to each of the herbaceous
beasts. 1t is thought that the cries
of the animals imbedded in the tar
attracted the predatory animals,
which attempted to catch them and
were themselves caught in the trap.
More than 1000 saber-toOthed I'll
gers and a greater number of giant
wolves have been taken from the
pit.

Toots From The
Round House
By Charles Erickson

Mama Anyetza! (Hurrah! in La
guna Indian.) No more traehoma!
DR.. J. S. Perkins, whose splendid
eye operations are indeed a God
send to the Indian and other folks.
returned to Winslow Monday eve
ming from Los Angeles. He has
been holding a clinic at our Santa
Fe hospital for the last three
weeks so that all employees affected
with trachoma or any other eye
disease had an opportunity to un-
dergo treatment and be CURED.
Miss Regina Russell, expert nurse,
returned with the doctor and yes
terday morning, assisted by Mrs.
Glib Hunter, who was in full charge
at the local roundhouse laboratory
during DR.. Perkins absence, an
operation was performed on Miss
Lena Lorenzo, little Indian girl.
It is believed by DR.. Perkins that
this operation marks the end of
trachoma in Winslow However,
the doctor stated that if any Me-
teorites get itchy eyes he will be
glad to-get this-"pull out your
eyeballs, look 'em over, use a lit
tie sandpaper on 'em, wash 'em off
with gasoline (anyhow, it smells
like gas) and put 'em back N
place for you" Don't rush him,
folks.
Laying all jokes aside, we are
greatly indebted to DR.. Perkins and
his nurses and wish to assure them
of our appreciation and extend a
sincere Thank you"
They will remain on the job
here until the first of the week,
when DR.. Perkins and Miss Russell
will go to Gallup to do the ''clean
up and finishing touches" there.

The Seattle Chamber of Com

additional appropriations for the

Alaska, including additional aids to

crease the appropriations for the
Geological Survey work up to the
pre-war figures of $150,000, for the
opening of the Katmai National Mon

SEWARD, Alaska, July 27.-
Eighteen hundred Indians, who

bers of the party.
Medicine men are the priests
and dictators of the Indians. Only
intelligent citizens should have a
vote in Alaska The Indians have
a voice in Washington" declared
Congressman Free.
Cheap Indian lawyers are ex-
pressing the will of Alaska today.
The President and members of Con
gress welcome the expression from
the intelligent citizenry.
Il am astounded to find such a
high type of white people in Alaska
and the white people would reflect
credit in large cities of the United
States" concluded Congressman
Free.
Big Capital Needed.
The California Congressman de-
clared that big capital must be en-
couraged, otherwise Alaska would de-
teriorate. If conditions are made
attractive, capital will come.
More adequate fish restrictions must
be made or the industry will be
s.I in,
predicted. He said he found Ameri-
can packers and American fisheries
observing the letter and spirit of
the law while some others are vlo-
lating the gentlemen's agreement
by increasing gear. The pack this
year will be a fourth below normal.
Conservative Movements.
Commissioner of Fisheries O'Mal-
ley said "any conservative move
ment is bound to injure some people
in the fishing industry but it is
my desire that the injuries be dis
tributed equitable.
THE pack on the Port Moller re-
gion is normal but at Squaw Harbor
it ia far below. At Ikitan, King
Cove and False PaSS, tne season
is a total failure. The companies
are bound to lose large sums.
1.-The season generally justifies
the Bureaus attitude placing a 60
hour weekly closing period in the
area. More drastic regulations are
possible If the fish be properly con
served. Careful examination o1
spawning beds will be made. IT II
is found there is poor seeding,
will seriously consider closing the
area to give the fish chance tt

"The seal industry is in excellent

will be taken this year, an increase
of 1900"
