Baseball Talk For The
Summer Already Begun

At the next regular meeting of the
local Commercial club, a committee,
representing the baseball fans will ap-
pear to ask the cooperation of that
club and the town of Winslow in or
ganizing and maintaining a good, fast
and classy baseball team for the COM
ing season.
Already several keen players are in
the city and plenty more are being
developed, which will put Winslow on
the map.
This aggregation, it is understood,
will be named the "Meteors" after
the city slogan and every effort is to
be applied to make it team of which
Winslow can be justly proud, and one
other towns will fear.

City Prisoners Narrowly
Escape Death From Gas

During the cold weather of the past
month, the police department has
kept a gas stove burning in the Jail,
in the open space out of reach of pris-
oners within the cells. On two oc-
cisions the past week the gas has
gone out, and later come on, flood
ing the entire Jail enclosure. with the
deadly fumes. At one of the times
there were three prisoners in the cells
and their lives were saved only by the
prompt action of Night Officer A. r.
Hughes, who from the downtown dis
trict observed that the big gas light
in front of the city hall had gone out.
He hurried over to the jail, knowing
that the prisoners must be in distress
A stove was ordered by city coun-
Gil this week to replace the gas burn
er in the jail

Young Ferd Lap Prade
Handed Hot Retort

Ferd LaPrade, veteran dairyman,
pioneer Of Winslow, and the youngest
old man in all Arizona, during the
balance of his exhuberant youth, will
be careful how he calls upon Charley
Daze to confirm reminiscent state
ments.
At the mass meeting last Friday
night at the city hall while Mr.. La
Prade was making plea for the. IL
provement of the city gas plant, he
indulged in few comparisons of the
present modern city with the hard
desert town of years ago, before the
days of sewers, electric lights, dairy
routes or gas plants. In the course of
his remarks he said: i.
''Why l reckon they's lots O. men
right here tonight who can remember
when they wasn't much water here,
an what they was, I hauled aroun'
in barrels. You remember that nigh
ty well, don't you, Mr.. Daze?"
To which Mr.. Daze solemnly re-
Piled

Prade. And times and you haven't
changed so much, have they? You
used then, to bring water to my
house in barrel, but now you totes
it in a milk can!"
About that time John D. Drumm
arose to inquire if that was the reason
he sometimes found minnows in his
muSh.
After the laughter at Mr.. LaPrade's
expense had died down little, he
asked Mr.. Daze if he couldn't remem-
Der just one other little incident of
the early days.
"An' don't you remember, Mr. Daze,
one mo'ning along bout three o'clock,
comm a-running up to my house, an
a-knockin' on the door, and gettin' me
out a-bed by hollerin': Hey, Mr.. La

Congress Passes Bill
For Lees Ferry Bridge

The Winslow Mail is in receipt this
week of a message from Carl Hayden,
member of congress, that the lower
house has passed his bill authorizing
the construction of the bridge across
the Colorado river at Lees Ferry, Ari-
Zona.
The construction of the Lees Ferry
bridge will do away with the ferry
operated by Coconino county at that
point, and make feasible the construc-
tion of a highway connecting the ma
jor portion of the state with what is
called the Arizona strip, that almost
inaccessible paradise lying within the
state and north of the Grand Canyon.

Miss Kate Turner Dies
This Week in The East

Word was received this week of the
death of Miss Kate Turner, sister of
James E. Turner of Winslow, at her
home in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Miss Turner returned to her home
in the east about three months ago,
after having spent a little more than
year in Winslow in the hope of i'm
proving her health. She was unable
to find relief in this climate, and early
in the winter departed for her eastern
home. Burial took place at Raleigh,
yesterday.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Turner recent
ly returned from North Carolina,
where they had accompanied the
formers sister on her return.

Definite Information
Development OF Crater

The Mail is in receipt of word con-.
corning the future plans for the devel-
opment of Meteor Mine, from e. J.
Bennitt of Phoenix, Arizona, represen-
tative of the Standard Iron company
of Philadelphia, owners of the Meteor
Mountain. Mr.. Bennitt confirms the
story printed in the Mail few weeks
ago about the running of a tunnel
from point south of the rim to enter
the area under the south rim of the
crater where recent drilling operation
disclosed body of some unbelievably
hard substance of immense volume,
which is believed to be the long
sought for meteor. Mr.. Bennitt's let
ter follows:
Phoenix, Ariz., January 10, 1925.
Editor Winslow Mail,
Winslow, Arizona.
[ note your article in ''Winslow
Mall" concerning the crater, but with
more interest the article that you
have written concerning the calling
of Winslow the Meteor City"
This really of good deal of interest
to us and l sincerely hope that we
may be able in the course of time to
make IL great zeal or importance
to the town of Winslow. We fully
expect to pursue this investigation by
sinking a shaft on the south side of
the crater to locate the meteor and
when that is finally accomplished you
can surmize as we'll as l can, as to
how much Importance it will be to
yourself and your town. We hope
that this may be done soon.
Yours very truly,
E. J. BENNITT.

Rabbits VIII Buy Meat
In Car Lots In Future

In the future the meat department
of the Babbitt Brothers Trading COM
pany will purchase meats at whole
sale in carload lots, instead of de-
pending upon delivery by peddler
cars. The new system of buying in
larger quantities will begin next week.
1t is hoped that receipts of meats will
be expedited in greater measure by
buying car lots at a time
Rabbits will buy fresh and cured
meats at most advantageous points in
the eastern markets and receive their
stocks many days quicker than FORM
erly.

Let's Work for II

A NATION, like an individual, acquires
n knowledge that lasts thru hard eN-
perience, and our nation ought 10 make
great progress in this new year thru what
il has learned during the past II months
concerning the management of two most
important matterS-prohlbltlon and oper-
alton of the automobile.
When in city like Philadelphia 600
people die, in year, from the effects of
poisonous liquor and when the fatalities
are as proportionately numerous in all the
cities. il must be admitted that the method
of enforcement has been decidedly weak.
Simply, millions OF the people will drink,
if they can get liquor, and the records
show that very many OF the officers
entrusted with enforcement have helped
along the consumption of liquor. Thus
one lesson of 1924 is that there
should be radical reform in the selection
of enforcement authorities In his first
message, President Coolidge suggested
the placing of such Officers IN the civil
service liSt-taking the matter out of poll
tics. This might help much, If, in add
ton politics were taken cut of the cases
brought before the courts.
