Saturday afternoon Lieut.. Boyd
Monteith andNBob Hausler, the first
of the score or more of famous
aviators who are expected to par
ticipate in the big celebration and
dedication ceremony of the Tri-
State Airway here next Saturday
and Sunday, arrived in Winslow,
having flown from Williams after
the storm east of San Francisco
Mountains had subsidized somewhat.
Mr.. Hausler had been for sew
eral days making a final trip of in
spection over the landing fields
linking Albuquerque to San Diego
and Los Angeles with the Tri-State
Airway, and all along the line he
found cities doing their utmost to
prepare the way for the conven-
lence Of airplane travellers.
Monday Mr.. Hausler and Lieuten-
ant Monteith hoped off from the
field here to make trip eastward,
landing on the fine Holbrook field.
thence to Gallup and Albuquerque,
with visits to the possible landing
places in between.
A wire was received Sunday from
Aviator Frank Clark, the ace of all
stunt flyers, who is now in Holly
wood, that he would leave there
Wednesday on his way to Winslow.
Mr.. Clark will put on here, with the
help of Mr.. Hausler, some of the
hair-raising stunts that we read
about If weather conditions are
favorable Mr.. Clark also will put
on an exhibition of aerial fire
works on Saturday evening between
the banquet at Washington school
and the reception and ball at the
Elks club
A plane belonging to the Quinn
Rankin Flyers, who have been stag
ing flying circuses in the south
ern part of the state, now at Sc
ligman, notified the committee last
week that they would be repre-
Sented at the meet here, and their
machines are now being over
hauled and tested for the high al
titude of this city.
Wires and letters from additional
army flyers and members of the
Professional Pilots association OF
California have been received the
last few days, assuring the COM
mittee that they will be here dur
ing the celebration.
Lieut.. Boyd Monteith, who is
here already, was the pilot for Miss
Helen Ferguson, the movie star
who will also be a guest of the city
during the celebration, when she
was engaged in making the spec
tacular picture, "The Sky Rider"
mention of which appears else
where in this issue.

Clarkdale Beats the
Meteors by q to z

The Meteor baseball team suf-
fered a sad defeat Sunday at the
hands of the Clarkdale team, the
game being called after the seventh
inning because there was no chance
to even up the score.
The local diamond was flooded
from the rains of Saturday, and
Sunday morning the local boys
laid off temporary diamond on the
Sweeney Heights addition, working
several hours to measure and level
the field. 1t was hardly expected
that game would be called.
The boys were tired and had
lost their pep when the game was
called, and instead of being ball
game, the exhibition turned into a
race meet, with the Clarkdale boys
chasing each other around the dia-
mond in record time.
The Meteors will play Flagstaff
at Flagstaff next Sunday.

M. D. MOSS FINDS
SIX SHOOTER OF
THE EARLY DAYS

While doing some excavating on
the highway a few miles west OF
town, NJ D. Moss, in charge of
state work, picked up a Colt .45
revolver, rusted and just about de-
cayed beyond recognition as a gun,
but with the six loads still intact.
1t is of the muzzle-loading, cap
and-ball type used by the cavalry
officers Of the Apache Indian war
days. From the appearance of the
gun it has remained buried for
many years.
w. F. Baker, manager of the
hardware department of the Babbitt
store, has written to the Colt fac
tory to learn if any record is avail
able on the history of the gun.
The bronze handle shows little
decay and the serial number of the
weapon can easily be read, and it
is hoped through this to find out
to whom the gun was originally
sold. The weapon is now on exhibi-
ton in the window of The WinslOw
Mail. 1t shows three notches on
the handle, which are interpreted
by old-timers familiar with the gun
etiquette of early days to mean that
three white men were yanked into
eternity by the man behind the
trigger.

Worlds Tallest Man
Passes Through City

John Aason, said to be the tall
est man in the world, measuring
eight feet two inches, passed
through Winslow one night last
week on his way from Hawaii to
Denver, where he will join a troupe
of entertainers travelling on the
Orpheum circuit. While in the city
he entertained crowd of people
who had stopped at the San Diego
cafe for refreshments after a
dance, and played his harmonica
and told stories until o'clock.
While one would expect to find
this man in a circus instead of on
vaudeville circuit, his enormous
size is not his only attraction, as
he is an artist in a musical way.
While in Hawaii he studied the
music of the natives and repro
duces it on his harmonica in a
surprising way.

ming and Oregon tournaments, and

cally forfeit their claims to these
honors to the winners of this con-
test, who will be the undisputed
worlds champions.

FRANKLIN CAN'T
SEE BARRIERS WALK
SO PROVIDES CAR.

w w. Franklin, of the Franklin
Overland company, used to be a
barber. In fact, he made his liv-
ing for eighteen years with shears
and shaving brush. Then suddenly
he found. himself selling automo-
biles, and since that time he has
shaved the public in a different
way, and yet only as a barber can.
Now, the fact that Mr.. Franklin
gave up the tonsorial profession did
not lead him to hold in disdatn
those who continue to sling the
lather. Not on your life.
In a mood of compassion last
week he thought upon his worthy
brethren and as his thoughts bore
fruit, Jim Meadows, a barber of
Holbrook, received an Overland
with Mr.. FrankIin's compliments.
This week the tie of sympathy be-
tween him. and his fellow sufferers
still Occupying his thoughts, he
presented Winslows' popular bar
ber, j. B. Drumm, with an Over
land, and as this generous mood
still obtains with him, the next
beneficiary will be John Metz,
Flagstaff barber, who will receive
a machine next week.
Thus one barber in each town in
which the Franklin-O Overland COM
pany operates will receive an Over
land as a gift of the company.
''This is not the first time l have
given automobiles to BARRIERS" Mr..
Franklin declared. ''In fact, when
I see a barber in need of convey
ance, it is just natural for me to
want to help him, and if you know
of any others who still have to
walk, tell them to make me visit
and I'll see if 1 can fix them up"
So. it is that The Mail, as a me
dunn of spreading good news,
passes this word along and, while
the writer thinks this demonstra-
tion of altruism is a fine thing, yet
he wonders why Mr.. Franklin could
not Finclude editors in. his list Of
beneficiaries.

COUNTY BUYS NEW
HOLT ENGINE AND
GRADER FOR ROADS

County Engineer West expects to
receive at Winslow this week a new
Holt tractor and road grader, which
will be put at work on the road
from Winslow to Sunset Pass. A
few weeks ago, after improvement
on the road had been made from
the edge of town through Southside
and a bridge built, the work was
dropped 1t will be resumed this
week, or as soon as the new ma
chinery is unloaded, but instead of
following the route through South
side the route will be from a point
on the old Winslow-FIagsta high
way about four miles from Wins
low.
The country supervisors and en-
gineerS went over this route few
days ago, and announce it a far
more feasible route than the one
first proposed. About eight years
ago CocOninO county, in which all
of the new road lies, improved that
route to a considerable extent and
built number of bridges between
the old highway and Sunset Pass,
but before the road was completed
the work was abandoned, and from
that time the road has been little
used.
A few weeks ago Coconino county
made an appropriation for the i'm
provement of the Winslow-Sunset
Pass road, with the provision that
the old-time survey be used in
stead of the road through South
side.

MISS EVELYN
PROCTOR WINS.
STPLACE IN.
BIG CONTEST.

Miss Evelyn Proctor, high school
girl, last night was adjudged the
winner of the popularity contest to
name a "Miss Winslow" who will
act as official hostess to visiting
girls from other cities along the
line of the Tri-State Airway.
Miss Proctor's only competitor
for the honor during the closing
hour Of the contest was Miss Jessie
Hughes, an employe of the Fred
Harvey system. Both girls were
spiritedly boosted by their friends,
but Miss Proctor's larger acquaint-
ance in the city finally overcame
Miss Hughes tremendous popu-
larity among her fellow workers,
and the high school girl had lead
of 1859 votes when the contest
closed. The total vote for Miss
Proctor was 35,460, and for Miss
Hughes 32,091.
There never was so much excite
ment at any event where nobody
got killed or even hurt The con-
test was scheduled to close at 5
o'clock, and a dependable Big Ben,
with his alarm wound tight, sus-
pended above the door of Murphy's
store, gave the signal right on the
dot, after which no more votes
were accepted. A few remained to
be counted, however, but they made
no change in the satnding of the
two leading contestants.
Shortly after Z o'clock the street
in front of Murphy's was jammed
with friends of the two girls, who
were cheering and boosting, as one
after the other took the lead. The
votes came in faster than they
could be counted and posted, the
boosters of the contenders appar-
emily having no end of pennies to
throw into the ballot box.
The high school boys rallied to
the support of their schoolmate in
a patriotic manner, and the an
nouncement of her winning was the
signal for a great outburst of jol-
LITIGATION which ended in an i'm
promptu ball in her honor at the
Green Mill, with hall and music do
mated for the purpose on a mo-
ment's notice. Miss Hughes and her
supporting friends from the Har-
vey House shared in doing honor
to Miss Proctor, the winner, at the
jubilee dance.
No battle of ballots was ever
staged with greater spirit or more
determination to win than was last
nights contest, and none conducted
with a greater show of real sports
manship. The winner won with due
modesty, and the loser lost with
gracious smile and the best of
wishes for her opponent, in the
knowledge that she had done her
best, put up a good fight, and had
had the warm support of a host of
friends and co-workers, which is a
tremendous compliment to anyone.
Whichever girl had won, Winslow
would have been represented by a
young lady of charming personality
and one capable of adding lustre
to the social events planned for the
coming weekend.
Miss Proctor will be the city's
hostess to the young ladies coming
from Kingman, Williams, Gallup,
Hollywood, Holbrook, Snowflake
and other places along the line,
who will be chosen by similar con-
tests.
