Burton School Notes

A new Junior girl has entered
Burton Hi, Florence Wilson, al
former student of Whitehall High
Whitehall, Montana. This
makes total of fifteen in the
Junior class.
An alumnus must always return
to the good old place of his hap
piest days. We were visited last
week by one who graduated hil
%.
The freshmen have decided to-
give the sophomorcs the time OF
heir lives next Friday evening,
November Is. The sophomores
are somewhat in doubt as to
whether it will be possible, but
they are all planning to come and
let the freshmen try.
Ira Hastings has joined the
green freshies Of Burton Hi and
Ersing Nilsen has returned to
them again.
Monday morning Mr.. Parkes
gave US a short talk in memory of
Columbus day.
The P. t. A. gave a reception
for the new teachers. The stu
dents of the high school, parents:
and teachers of the other island
schools were invited.
A short business meeting pre-
coded a program. Mrs. Poage.
Mr.. Dunlap, Mr.. Parkes each gave
a short talk. Mable Martin gave
a piano solo, Mr.. Vanhouse gave
vocal solo, and Vivian Miller
played an accompaniment for Ed
win Woods who played two clari-
net solos. Mrs. Forbes also gave
a piano solo.
Cards with pictures on them
were passed and you had to match
this card to find your partner for
lunch. Coffee, cake and sandwich
es were served, A good time was
enjoyed by all.
Friday, October 8, the Soph-
ignores presented program. The

ed to do everything.
Telling the score of Burton's
game with Moran conveys no
meaning of the actual perfor-
nance. Although beaten by a
score of 80 too, the Burton boys
were not out-gamed. With weight
experience, and conditions of
team makeup clearly against
them, Burton bewildered their op~
ponents time after time with a
dashing attack, Defensively not
so much can be said for them, but
a few players kept the odds from
being greater than they were. The
outstanding hero was Austin Den
mis-, who was everywhere, with
his wild gains on offence, and his
excellent tackles on defense. Bill
0dion and Benny" Bennatts
fought with the determination
that is epitomized in the familiar
motto, They shall not pass.
While we are telling the story
there were two outstanding a.
ehievements in the midget" con
test which preceded the big game
and which went to Moran by a
score of 81 to 0. AS would be ex-
pected from Lowrey and Odion,
these two played up to their repu-
tations. But there was one fellow
who, playing his first real game,
showed the real gameness of a
hero, and may it be written on the
records that Bob Stewart did his
Dart like a big man.
The trip was made by launch
from the North End and was made
doubly pleasant through the kind
ness of Mrs. Odion and Mrs
Coates. Their warm cocoa at the
END of the game was especially
appreciated.

LAST HOUSE ON
SWITCHING YARD
SITE NOW RAZED

Razing of the house of Benigno
Reyes situated at the site of the
new gravity switching yards west
of town, began yesterday morning,
Old Brothers, building contractors,
having purchased the house for the
material to be obtained in dismant-
ling it. The house of Mr.. Reyes is
the last of 13 houses to be razed at
the switch yard site. Condemna-
tion proceedings were brought by
the Santa Fe against Mr. Reyes
about two months ago and the
matter has been tied up in the su-
perior court until a week ago when
a judgment was entered and the
matter settled.
Grading has been in process at
the new yard, which, when COM
pleted will eliminate the switching
of trains in front Of the Harvey
house for several months and track
has been laid to the immediate
grounds of the house on both sides.
The new switching yard will be
ready for use within the next two
months, according to present plans.

Truck Knocks In One
Wall OF Adobe House

Wednesday morning about
O'Clock a little Indian child, still
asleep in his bed in one of the
adobe houses this side of the round
house was suddenly awakened by
a rumbling sound very much like
thunder.
When he opened his eyes he saw
adobe bricks from the wall at the
side of his bed flying in every di-
rection, then the noise stopped, the
bricks had all tumbled and he lay
very much in the middle of them
yet untouched by one of them.
Thruogh the place where the wall
had been, the back Of Ford ton
truck projected, and beyond was a
clear view Of the street.
Lucus Goya, who runs a vege-
table truck had attempted to turn
around in front of the house which
is occupied by the family of Guy
Naktima. In backing up, he ran
into one of the walls and the hole
made by the truck was about six
feet square. Repairs on the build
ing were started Immediately.

WinslOw Scribe is
Phoenix Visitor on
Way to California

Charles Erickson, head time
keeper for the Santa Fe shops at
Winslow and conductor of the col
umn, "Toots from the Roundhouse"
in Winslow Mail, passed through
Phoenix yesterday en- route to Los
Angeles to spend two weeks with
his mother, Mrs. r. w. Shields.
Additional to contributing the
semi-weekly column to the Wins
low Mail, Mr.. Erickson has gained
considerable repute as a writer and
author in the northern part of the
state. He is the correspondent at
Winslow for the Santa Fe Maga-
zine, the official publication of the
Santa Fe system, and was assigned
to "cover" the recent Hopi snake
dances for that medium. The as
signment was given additional i'm
portance as the Hopi snake dance
is a strong talking point of the
Santa F'e in it's quest for tourist
business. Mr.. Erickson continued
his journey to the coast last night.

The above explains the absence
of "Toots" from this paper for the
next few issues.

Range Conditions Are
Improved by Rains

Continuously slow rains in the
early part of the week, did much
to improve pastures on yearlong
ranges and at the higher attitudes.
Superintendent Davis of the Fort
Apache Indian agency states that
on reservation territory the ground
is quite wet, the grass is growing
fine and everything showing re-
newed life. With such an abun-
dance of rain the grass at high
attitudes will have but little nour-
ishment and stock will need to be
removed at the first frost. Good
rains in Cochise county have re-
freshed the range and cattle con-
tinue in fine condition Even with
substantial range is still reported
poor. Stock and range are only
fair in the Williams section not
withstanding summer showers
have been frequent and from mod
crate to heavy. Possibly the vol
canic character of the soil may
have much to do with the slow i'm
provement of pasture. Good rains
have fallen on both rims of the
Grand Canyon and ranges are in
good condition.

COCONINO COUNTY
WILL PAVE ROAD
MOQUI TO DIABLO

The Winslow Mail last evening
received a telegram from State En-
gineer w. c. Lefebvre, at Flag
staff, stating that the board of su-
perYisors had signed a contract to
surface the National Old Trails
highway from a point near Moqui,
the west end of the surfacing, sew
en- miles west of Winslow, to Can
von Diablo. 1t is intimated that
work will commence Immediately
and be completed this fall.
Mr.. Lefebvre was in Navajo
county the first of the week con-
ferring with supervisors regarding
the rebuilding of the Manila Wash
bridge, and bridge to replace the
wooden structure across Tanner
Wash, a mile east of Joseph City.
1t was stated by Mr.. Lefebvre
that the portion of the road between
Canyon Diablo and Canyon Padre
may be surfaced in the spring. That
port of the road is on the states
program for next year. The road
between the two canyons has caus-
ed much complaint, but, while
rough and rocky, is always pass
able. The distance between the
two canyons is fourteen miles.
Contract has been entered into
with the government for the sur
facing of the newly-graded road
from Canyon Padre to Flagstaff, a
distance of about "a miles. Grade
was completed last spring. The
contract for surfacing that portion
of the road will also be completed
by spring.

Dove Shooters Must
Not Shoot Quail

Notices are being posted along
the river this week by the Winslow
branch of the Game Protective as
sociation, which call the attention
of the hunter to the fact that it is
against the law to shoot the quail,
which are getting quite numerous
there. The game association has
taken this measure because of the
open dove season now on. 1t was
feared that dove hunters might
shoot the quail also.
The section along the river from
Havre to Rushing's ranch was
stocked last spring with 800 quail
Reports are that the birds are
thriving and multiplying so that in
a short time there will be good
quail hunting along the river. The
association is anxious that the birds
should not be interfered with until
an open season is declared.

UNCLE SANS LAND
HOLDINGS ARE THE
LARGEST In WORLD

The worlds biggest landlord is
Uncle Sam. He is in a class by
himself when it comes to holding
real estate. The lands that he owns
or controls, although he has been
giving them away for a century,
still constitute an empire of the
first magnitude, and their present
value is almost impossible to cal
culate. The vastness of these con-
servations of his may be appreci-
ated when it is said that the total
is 431 100000 acres, or about 674,00
square miles. Most of it-perhaps
81 per cent is in California, Ore
gon, Washington, Idaho, Utah,
Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, Colo
rado, Arizona, New Mexico. 1t is
equal in area to France, Italy, the
British Isles, Spain and Denmark
combined and as large as twelve
New Yorks, or Eighty-three New
Jerseys.
National forests cover 1876, 100000
acres; 110,000,000 acres are graz
ing lands; 100000 acres are ma
tional parks; 34,0O0,O00 acres are
Indian lands; 4O,O0O,0OO acres are
government mineral lands, and
1856, 100000 acres are public domain.
or no mans land.
For years Uncle Sans lands
have been a source of worry and
vexation to the people dwelling
near them and it is now proposed
to have a complete showdown as
to their administration with view
of adopting some practical plan
for their development and use.

STATE FLAG HAS
PRETTY MEANING:
IS NOW ON DISPLAY
In MAIL WINDOW

Few people in Arizona recognize
the state flag when it is displayed,
and for that reason Miss Amanda
Griswold, Of Phoenix, who is con-
nected with educational work, is
making arrangements to place a
state flag with a card of descrip-
tion concerning it's meaning and
history in each of the larger
schools in the state. Miss Girls
void spent last week in Winslow
and while here left one of the flags
with the Winslow Mail. This flag
is now on display in the Mail win
dow.
The state flag of Arizona was de-
signed in 1910 before the state had
reached statehood. At that time
it was used by the Arizona rifle
team. The designing was done by
the .Spaulding. sporting goods peo-
pie. It was on the recommended
tion of Representative Edwards of
Yuma county that the bill to adopt
the rifle team flag as the state flag
was introduced. This was done in
1915. The bill was not passed,
however, until it was introduced a
second time by Mr.. Edwards, which
was in 1917. The flag was made
the state flag on the 9th day of
February, 1917. One bar had been
removed from the original design
of the flag.
The design now consists of a
blue field which occupies the lower
part of the flag with a group of
seven red and six yellow rays ar
ranged alternately extending from
behind the field into the upper half
A copper-colored star is placed at
the horizon. The blue field repre-
sents the United States while the
rays, which signify the setting sun
denotes that Arizona is in the west
That the sun is already set,
shows that Arizona was added at
the end of the United States ac-
QUESTION of states, while the cop
per star represents Arizona's larg-
est industry, that of copper pro-
duction. The colors of red and
yellow are the old Spanish colors,
which were the first to fly over
Arizona.

Jack Cousins Takes
Second Place In Race

Jack Cousins won second place
in one of the automobile races held
Labor day at Gallup, driving the
Ford Special belonging to Hugh
Armstrong.
Paul Thornton entered one of the
races on the day before with the
same machine and was holding 3rd
place when he ran the tire off the
rear right wheel. The accident
disqualified him for the race, but
did not result in injury to himself
or the machine.
Two cars turned turtle at the
races and Jack Flanagan, of Hol-
brook, who drove in one race, re-
ceived three broken ribs as the re-
suit of an accident.

Carpenters Prove Apt
at Catching Birds

The entire force at the Halstead
lumber yard on East Second street
was called into action yesterday af-
ternoon, when a long-legged sand
hill crane stalked into the yard.
Everyone from the carpenters to
the office force gathered around
the bird, which finally flew into
one of the sheds and there was
caught.
The bird was not fully grown
and seemed to be by itself. T. N.
Carter, manager of the local yard,
took the bird on a short tour
through the business section of
town before turning it loose.
