TOURIST TRAVEL
SHOWS BIG GAIN

Tourist visitors to California
from the beginning of excursion
rates on May Is to July 81 of this
year were 4S per cent greater in
number than the round-trippers of
last year.
This fact was revealed by check
just completed by James B. Duffy,
general passenger agent of the
Santa Fe railroad Part of the in
crease was due to the gathering
of the Shriners in Los Angeles,
part to other large conventions,
but over and above these. accord
ing to Mr. Duffy. there was a sub
stantial increase in individual
tourists-the kind that make up the
backbone of California's travel tide
each year.
''We got the increase" said Mr..
Duffy, because we worked for
them. The railroads worked
through advertising and personal
work of all kinds but the entire
state worked through the advertis-
ing of the All-Year club of South
ern California. the California Incor-
Borated and other organizations of
the. north. This advertising has
been highly effective. The wisest
thing, it seems to be that Califor-
mans can do is to continue this
work.
ga tourist visitor is of definite
value to the railroads. but he or
she is a commercial stimulant. and
next and most important, tourists
form the greatest source for our
permanent population increase.

of 10000 cars. During the month
of July, the report shows a total
of 1859 automobiles were register
ed in the state.

TEACHERS AND
PUPILS MEET
FOR WINTER
WORK TODAY

The Winslow schools opened this
morning, the early hours being ta-
ken up with enrolment. No fig
ures are available at this time, but
it is expected that the enrolment
will show a material increase over
the first day of last year.
Prof. G. H. Madden, superinten-
dent of schools, who takes the place
made vacant by the resignation of
Grady Gammage, has been laboring
diligently for the last month in pre-
parlng for successful season and
to maintain that high standard set
by past school executives in the
matter of requirements in scholar
ship which will enable it's gradu-
ates to make good in any higher
educational institution, or in any
chosen vocation for which it may
partially prepare a pupil. While
some will not be able to meet these
requirements they will be more
than welcome to receive what
training they are able to receive.
The only requirement of all is that
each shall do what is reasonably
possible to take on that training,
and that he be not a pronounced
detriment to the citizenship of the
school.
The Winslow high school offers
courses in all fields of current de-
mand-college preparatory, COM
mercial and vocational. There is
sufficient liberty allowed that any
pupil may secure the training he
desires. Every member of the staff
is employed with a particular work
in mind for which he is specifical-
ly prepared. Every member of the
staff is willing to spend the max
imum of effort to reach the indi-
vidual
Winslow has reason to be proud
OF its school system, of which the
high school is an integral part. The
provision is made, the opportunity
is open for every boy and girl in
the community to secure as good a
high school education as is offered
in any school in the land. This is
the time to make use of that op-
portunity. Each year of delay Gas
proved by statistics) tends to de-
crease by twenty percent, thirty
per cent and fifty percent respect
lively the probability of graduation.
Eight teachers will Have charge
of the high school, five of whom
are new to this city. An outline
of the school day routine of the
high school appears elsewhere in

COUNCIL WILL PUT
DOWN TWO BLOCKS
OF GRAVEL PAVING

The city council, at their meet
ing Wednesday evening, which had
been postponed from Tuesday, de-
cided to pave not more than two
blocks with gravel, providing the
property owners would volunteer
to build curbs and cutters before
the paving is laid.
The gravel will be laid as an ex-
pertinent, to see if it will with
stand the traffic of the streets
most used. The two blocks to be
paved have not yet been decided
upon, but the council members ex-
pressed the opinion that property
owners along Kinsley, between
Third and Aspinwall, would con-
sent to the experiment. If that
style of paving is decided upon
for the entire city, the property
owners will, where the first paw
ing is laid, be assessed the
same as property owners where
later pavings is laid, but if it proves
impracticable the city will bear
the expense.
City Engineer Bob Lendecke was
instructed by the council to pro-
ceed with repairing drainage
bitches in the northwest part of
town, to prevent flood waters from
spreading over the streets and lots
along Cherry street. Chas. Daze
will continue a present drainage
ditch to a point north of Cherry
street, using the dirt removed from
the ditch to construct a levee on
the east side.

AS RESULT OF
PISTOL PLAY

Bernard Woodmansee died Sun
day afternoon at ST. Mary's hos
pital, Gallup, as the result of bull
let wounds inflicted by A. 3. Ed

it is said, had been informed that
D., on the, two preceding evenings,
while he was away from home,

Friday evening he armed him

ing to Edwards.
Edwards accosted him with the
demand to halt and throw up his
hands. Woodmansee instead, start
ed to run, and collided with a
high fence. Turning he ran toward
Edwards, who fired twice, both
shots taking effect, one through
the side, and the other through the
chest
The two shots did not halt Wood
mansee in his flight, who escaped
from the yard, with Edwards in
pursuit. Edwards fired two more
shots at the fleeing man, neither
of which took effect.
Woodmansee ran to the home of
friends on Fourth street, and ask
ed for a doctor. Three physicians
responded to the call, but it was
seen that his. injuries were prob
ably fatal, and he was rushed to
Gallup, on No. 10, at 1O:30, for an
operation and the extraction of the
bullets.
Edwards gave himself up to the
officers Immediately after the
shooting, with the statement that
he had shot a man, unknown to
him at that time.
Edwards has been in custody of
the sheriff's office, but at liberty,
since the shooting. Complaint was
entered the following day. Officers
have been investigating the affair
with view to learning events
leading up to the tragedy. A pre-
liminary hearing is in progress this
morning before Justice of the Peace
Sam w. Proctor.
Woodmansee, 27 years old, had
lived in Winslow for five or six
years, and was well-known and
well-liked by everyone. He was
a fireman on the Albuquerque di-
vision of the Santa Fe. He leaves
a widow and little girl about two
years old.
Edwards, who is also a Santa
Fe trainman, came to Winslow
about three months ago, accom-
panied by Mrs. Edwards, and baby.
Woodmansee was accompanied to
the hospital by his wife. who re-
turned to Winslow Monday even
, ing. The body was shipped to
Wickenburg, Arizona, the home of
his father, where burial will be
made tomorrow. His father arriv-
ed in Gallup before his sons
