WILLIAMS HIGH TOO
MUCH FOR LOCAL BOYS

Williams high school defeated Flag
staff high school at football here on
Friday by 60. Flagstaff had two
pretty good opportunities to tie the
game, one especially good in which a
tumble spilled the milk. Coach Pres
ton is handicapped somewhat in build
ing a heavy team this year by failure
of some of the boys to take their
work seriously, which has made it
necessary for him to disqualify them.
He insists that boy to remain on
the team must observe training rules
as well as keep up in his school tests
and prefers to sacrifice team strength
rather than allow any lack of real
school spirit.

REV. MITCHELL NOW NEW
EPISCOPAL BISHOP

Election of six missionary bishops
in the house of bishops and the near
wiping from the calendar of the house
of deputies proposals to change exist
ing laws in regard to divorce featured
the general convention of the Protes-
tant Episcopal church meeting at New
Orleans.
The house of bishops sent to the
deputies the names of four men elect
ed by that body to preside over mis-
sionary dioeeses of the church. 1t was
reported from reliable sources that
two other bishops were elected in exc
cutive session of the house Of bishops.
Two prelates whose election was
not officially announced but whose
elevation was learned from authentic
sources were the Rev. Walter Mitchell,
d. D., of Trenton, N. J., executive
secretary of the diocese to be mis-
sionary bishop Of Arizona, and the
Rev. Frank w. Creighton, rector of
st. Anne's church, Brooklyn, N. Y,
missionary bishop of Mexico.
The house of deputies gave a death
blow to proposals to change the can
ons of the church regulating divorce
when proposals seeking to change the
present regulations were defeated by
an overwhelming vote. The proposal
would have made remarriage of di-
vorced persons practically impossible
except where divorces were granted
for causes existing before marriage.

Union Oil Company
Launches Two Boats

Marking distinct advances in the
company's refined and lubricating
oil business on the coast, the Union
Oil company of California has just
launched two new vessels. The
larger ship, which was christened
the "Redline," was launched at
Oakland, and will go into the Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin river trade.
At Los Angeles harbor the most
modern oil barge yet constructed at
the port was named the Coronado"
and will deliver Union nondetonat-
ing gasoline and other products of
the company to the multitude of
small craft which make their head
quarters at San Diego harbor, to
which the Coronado will be at
tached.
Both vessels, while relatively
small, are of the latest design and
most thoroughly equipped examples
of their type on the Pacific coast.
The Redline, a shallow craft, twin
screw vessel, is specially construct
ed for use in the river territory
of Central California. 1t has
The Winslow mail., 1925-06-12

In the construction of the Redline
safety of the crew has been care
fully provided for. Living and nav
igating quarters are amidship and
are raised seven and a half feet
from the deck in order to give clear
air space. This accomplishes the
double purpose of preventing the
living quarters from becoming con-
taminated with any escaping gases
while loading or discharging cargo
and also provides ample room for
drum goods. The captains and
crews quartesr are large and we'll
ventilated. Two sixteen and a half
foot lifeboats are carried.
The total fleet of the Union Oil
company of California now includes
twenty-six pieces of floating equip
ment, comprising twelve huge
tankers, the rest being river barges
and motor boats. The total carry
ing capacity of the fleet approx
mates 100000 barrels of oil.

ST r EETS
By STEPHEN L. HORTON.
(Written for The Mail.)

l like to wander down strange
streets,
And view the things that men have
made
Their homes, their lawns, their
beds of flowers
The things they do in idle hours.
Then, too, 1 like the moiling mart
Where men are parts of great
machines
Combined into a soulless thing,
Diffused again at evening time.
But best of all l like to roam
Among the quiet street of thought
Where beauty turks for him who
looks
Within the silent realm of books.
