Sweeping Cuts Are Made
In Z. S. Indian Service

Two hundred and ninety-four en-
ployes of the field service of the
Indian bureau, including one or
more in nearly every Indian agency
and reservation, lost their jobs on
July 1, under a sweeping reorgan-
ization program. The reduction of
the force will clip $227,905 annually
from the payroll. Clerks, stenog-
raphers, matrons, Indian police,
judges and other officials are
among those whose positions will
be abolished. The Indian bureau
personnel already has been reduced
by fifty during the current fiscal
year through consolidation. The
reduction was effected in the face
of an increase in Indian school
facilities and an enlargement of the
Indian medical force. The number
remaining on the bureau rolls July
2 will be 1882.

of Winslow, and a brother of Mrs.
Anna Pawley of this place, is one
of the latest finds of Chief Light
foot, director for the Famous Play

different tours through Arizona.
acting as guide, and at the time
the Famous Players made him the
offer he was chief guide of the Ari-
zona Wonder Circuit tours, of
Phoenix. He is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Leaden, of Gallup.
Leo Leaden was chosen because
he is the type of the real western

audience at Gallup in making the
announcement there, mot a cow
boy or bronco buster or a thrower
of steers. He is just the type to
screen well in a big hat and a plaid

New Street Lights to Be
Installed at Two Corners

A proposition by G. C.'Moyer to
the town council was accepted at
the council meeting Thursday
night, whereby Mr.. Meyer will fur
nish and install an ornamental
metal light post at the corner of
Third street and Warren avenue
with the understanding that the
city will maintain it afterward and
pay for the electricity it uses as
if it were one of the city lights.
This opportunity of adding another
street light to the town without
the expense of installation was
welcomed by members of the coun-
ell, and undoubtedly other PROPOSE
tions of a like nature, if presented,
would be accepted at some other
time.
1t was also voted at the meeting
to install a light at the corner of
Kinsley avenue and Third street,
and according to communication
read at the meeting, the Santa Fe
will provide a light at the round
house gate and also one midway
between the gate and the corner OF
the fence toward town.

STATE MORE
THAN DOUBLES
ITS QUOTA TO
ENDOWN men

Arizona has more than doubled
its quota in the American Legion's
endowment fund, it was announced
Saturday by State Chairman Robert
E. Tally. With an assigned quota
of $4,000 in the Legion's national
endowment fund of $5,000,00O, this
state has contributed $32,2S2.S3 to
date, with several communities yet
to be heard from.
Arizona holds the record for the
country to date of being the only
state which has doubled its quota,
Chairman Tally declared in a state
ment on the result of the cam
paign. He said:
Through the results obtained in
the American Legion endowment
fund drive, the citizens of Arizona
have again shown their patriotism
and energy, and their sympathy to-
ward a worthy movement. With
an assigned quota of $4,000, the
state has gone over the top by
LlOI Cuou 1OU pei cent. mai liz
ures show subscriptions totaling
more than $4,000
"In the face of such a splendid
accomplishment it would be i'm
possible, of course, to attempt to
centralize the credit. 1t means
just one thing and that is that the
citizens of Arizona got solidly be-
hind the movement. 1t received
support from every section, class
and creed, the result being that,
among all the states, Arizona holds
the record to date. 1t is the only
state which has doubled its quota.
Gas the drive has been conducted
under the direction of the Ameri-
can Legion, to it must be given the
greatest credit and highest praise
for the energy and spirit which en-
abled it to place before all of the
citizens of Arizona the aims and.
purposes of the drive. The eff
cheney of this splendid organiza-
tion in the state has been most ade-
quately attended. Assisting the
Legion was a statewide citizens
committee. which entered into the
work with an enthusiasm which
was as praiseworthy as it was eff
fective."

WINSLOW PEOPLE
SEEK NEW ROAD
TO MORMON LAKE

The popularity of Mormon Lake,
twenty miles south and east
of Flagstaff has inspired people of
/ WinslOW, who wish to spend Sun
days at this beauty spot, to hunt
out a shortcut from this city. Via
Flagstaff and the new highway, it
is about eighty-five miles from
Winslow, and by way Of Long VAL
ley and the southern route to Mon
tezuma lodge on the banks of Nor
mon Lake, the distance is about
110 miles.
Mormon Lake lies almost as close
to Winslow as it does to Flagstaff,
according to the map, there are no
signed highways leading from here
to the lake, however, it is possible
to take one of two alternative roads
and reach the lake without so long
a drive. One is by way of Canyon
Diablo and Anderson Pass, over
which route the distance is about
sixty miles, and the other is by d
road which leads from the Hay
Lake road, joining the Mormon
Lake-Flagstaff road between Nor
mon Lake and Lake Mary. By
this route the distance is between
fifty and sixty miles.
There are several shortcuts lead
ing into the timber country sur
rounding Mormon Lake from the
east, but they are for the most part
roads built from one ranch to an
other and a stranger in that part
of the country would no doubt
have difficulty in steering direct
course.
Several Winslow people have
made the short drives to Mormon
Lake the last few weeks, and an
endeavor will be made to definitely
locate the shortest and best route
and sign it for the benefit of Navajo
county people.

Order of EIks Would
Save old Ironsides'

The Benevolent Protective Order
of Elks has taken over the job of
saving "Old Ironsides," the most
famous fighting ship in the Amer
ican navy, now in a sad state of de-
cay as she floats upon the waters
into which she was rushed by her
builders 128 years ago. Into every
school of the nation the Elks will
carry the thrilling history of this
old ship and ask the school chill
dren to raise $5OO,O00 to rebuild
her as a shrine of the American
navy
Rear Admiral de Steiguer, COM
mandant of the first naval district
with headquarters at the Boston
navy yard, where the old frigate is
moored, is chairman Of the national
committee and he has designated
Oct II to IS as "Old Ironsides"
week and has asked the Elks to ar
range for patriotic exercises in
every schoolroom in the nation and
recount the thrilling sea battles of
the United States Frigate Consti-
tuition and the early history of our
navy.
The Elks have taken this patriot
ic job at the behest of Secretary OF
the Navy Curtis d. Wilbur and Ex-
alted Ruler John G. Price has sent
stirring appeal to some 1,500
lodges with 100000 members to get
actively behind the campaign and
make the contact with the schools.
The national committee will hand
over to the Elks 100000 eight-colOr
reproductions of "Old Ironsides"
and they will place one in each
school to be purchased by the pen
nies, nickles and dimes of the
school children who in turn will
present it to the school at appro-
pirate patriotic exercises.
In March of this year congress
voted to authorize the secretary of
the navy to restore the Constitu-
tion but made no appropriation for
the work Secretary of the Navy
Wilbur then requested Admiral de
Steiguer to organize a committee
to raise the money from the school
children of the nation.
James R. Nicholson, past exalted
ruler of the Elks, will direct the
Elks' campaign from the headquar-
ters of the national committee at
the Boston navy yard.

OLD LAKE BEING
REFORMED NORTH
OF LEUPP AGENCY

Red Lake, which for many years,
and until about two years ago,
was a favorite duck hunting and
fishing ground of Winslow people,
is again being filled with water,
after having been entirely dry for
two years. About that time an
obstruction was blown up in the
stream which fed the lake, and the
waters were diverted to other chan
nels to lose themselves in the
sands of the desert.
Rev. T. N. Carter, Jr., and w. F.
Williams, owner of a trading post
near the spot, left Winslow Friday
to see what could be done, if any
thing to change the course of the
stream back into its old bed, but
while on the ground a four-foot
wall of water came down the can
yon and tore out the obstruction,
leaving the water free to enter the
old lake. Immediately the lake
began to fill up and by Saturday
evening had reached a depth of
three inches for about mile on
the old lake bottom.
The lake was formerly five
miles long by mile wide, and
from three to four feet deep. 1t is
said that duck were very plentiful
around the lake, and that fishing
was good The lake had not been
known to be entirely dry during
the twenty-five years previous.
Dry Lake is forty miles from
Winslow, about fifteen miles north
of Leupp on the Oraibi extension

JACK PULLINS HAS
NARROW ESCAPE In
EXPLOSION OF GAS

While driving to the Flagstaff
celebration Saturday morning, Jack
Pullins, of Winslow member of
the Meteors ball team, suffered Sc
we're burns of his right hand and
arm and face, from an explosion
of gasoline. When about two miles
out from Flagstaff the car stopped,
acting as though the gas supply
had given out. While attempting
to drain the tank to fill the vacuum
tank, the explosion occurred, from
an unknown origin, as Mr., PullinS
is positive that neither match nor
cigarette was close to the gas.
The back of the car, which be-
longed to Charley Hitchcock, was
slightly burned, but the damage
was not great.

INDEPENDENCE:
DAY OBSERVED
VERY QUIETLY
IN WINSLOW

Just about half of Winslow went
to Flagstaff to make merry and
celebrate with the Forty Miners
there over the weekend. Threat
ened rain Saturday morning kept
few at home, but the crowd on the
grounds looked like a WinslOw
celebration, with few Flagstaff
ties sprinkled among them as
strangers. The road conditions be-
tween Flagstaff and this city were
never better, and the trip was made
by most cars in about two hours.
The light rains of Friday and Sat-
urday helped the roads consider
ably.
Nearly all visitors from Winslow
got to Flagstaff in time Saturday
to see the big parade, and it was
a big one, and a good one. 1t was
the outstanding feature of the
four-day celebration, and incor-
porated many amusing and spec
tacular units.
The days of 40, the theme of the
celebration, was carried out in
the concessions and side-shows
in the inclosed village, and includ-
ed an old-time dance hall, gambling
den, saloons, shows, etc.
Sunday evening two automobiles
were raffled off, one an Essex coach
and the other a kids machine with
a one-lung engine. "Slim" Rich
ardson, of Snowflake, won the for
mer, and Mrs. Frank Goodman, of
Flagstaff, won the kiddie car.
Everybody had a wonderful time,
and are glad they went A number
of Winslow cars took in the scenic
spots around Coconino county dur
ing the celebration, many going to
Grand Canyon, and others to Nor
mon Lake and Lake Mary.
