Contrast Between
Present Day Move
Methods And Old

Many things contribute to the
success of any undertaking, and
many possesses are necessary be-
fore such an undertaking as the
new Winslow Mail building can be
occupied by it's presses and other
equipment. Some are simple, some
are complex, some have to do with
the placing of equipment, some with
connecting the office with the out
side world, but all have their re-
lative Importance.
Hardly noticeable among the
more apparent tasks that went in
to the Mail plant will be the trucks
that haul the heavy and cumber-
some machinery to it's resting place
in the new home. But without these
powerful and quick moving acces-
sories to the moving, old metahods
that would result in much waste
of ,time,i and maybe in damage,
would have to be used.
In the trucks of the Carduff
Transfer company much of this in
animateS but talented machinery
will make it's journey. In contrast
to the days of the Pharaohs, when
innumerable slaves died under the
fash in moving the vast blocks of
stone that make the pyramids, the
machinery will be quickly loaded
onto the motor vehicles, and a gill
or so Of gasoline will take them
the necessary distance.
Although relatively young in
stitution, the Carduff Transfer
company has gained for itself a
reputati&n of delivering the goods
in Winsfow This slang phrase is
literally true, for delivery of goods
is it's forte Mr.. Carduff has been
in business here for six years, the
last three being as sole owner of
the company that bears his name.
During this time he has built up
a live clientele of business men
and home owners, who besides NOV
ing their goods in Carduff trucks,
also depend on that company for
their wood and coal.
Transportation is live and vital
necessity in business of the pres
eft day and both Mr.. Daze and Mr..
Garduff, sboth of whom assisted in
the moving of the Mail equipment,
are contributing their share toward
making Winslow the metropolis of
Northern Arizona.

PROCTOR AGENCY :
REPRESENTS OLD
INSURANCE FIRMS

Although the likelihood of the new
Winslow Mail Building ever being
destroyed by fire is small, owing
to it's fire-proof construction which
gives it a class ''B" rating with the
insurance companies, the owners
have not failed to avail themselves
of protection offered by insurance
agencies. Knowing that by some
| unforeseen accident even fire
proof buildings may burn, they
have used the ounce of prevention
rather than risk the pound Of cure
! at later date.
: No accident ever happened that
wasn't preventable, but it is no
comfort to realize that a fire could
have been prevented after the loss.
With policies covering possible loss
on both the building and the
thousands of dollars worth of print
ing machinery and equipment, how
ever, such an accident in the case
of the Winslow Mail building, re-
mote as the possibility may be, can
do no permanent harm.
A large part of the insurance
covering the building and equip
ment was written by Sam w. Proc
tor, who has for the past four years
been engaged in the insurance
business.
At the time Mr.. Proctor took over
the Winslow Mail, he began to
handle insurance as q side line to
his editorial duties, and the busi-
ness was so successful that he has
made it one of his main lines in
his present office.
Mr.. Proctor is fortunate in repre-
senting some of the best known in
surance companies. The Fireman's
Fund Insurance company of Cali
fornia, in which the Mail Policy is
carried, is as we'll known as any
company in the west. 1t is a six
ty-year-old institution, and is a
giant in financial strength.
The Stuyvesant Insurance COM
pany of New York is also an old
and strong concern, and their boast
is that their company has the same
rugged strength and character of
the old Dutch governor of New
York whose name it bears.
Other companies represented by
Mr.. Proctor are the Home Under
writer's Agency of New York and
the Columbia Insurance Company
of New York.
Bonding companies represented
by Mr.. Proctor are the Phoenix In
demnity company of New York, and
the Union Indemnity of New Or

Last Friday Gallatin county tur-

Of the total, 24,869 pounds were

PROGRAM
FOR RECLAMATION
Would Complete % Unfinished
Project in IL Western States
By End of 1897

A tentative 10-year construction
program for federal reclamation with
total estimated expenditures amount
ing to $97,514,000 that will result in
the completion of all existing govern
ment projects has been proposed by
the interior department.
The program contemplates con-
.struction workson % unfinished prof.
ects in II western states with annual
expenditures averaging between $8,-
446,OOO and $10,826,000, a sum ex-
ceeding the probable average income
of the reclamation fund by about
$1,O0O,OOO. If adopted, the program
will preclude the undertaking of any
new projects by the government dur
ing this period.
Annual construction work to carry
out the proposed program provides
for the expenditure Of $1O,826,OOO in
1928; $10,239,OOO in 1929; S9,118,OOO
in 1880; $9,18O,OOO in 1881; $685.
900 in 1882; $8,45O,OOO in 1888; S.
521, 900 in 1884; $8,73O,OOO in 1885;
$8,584,OOO in 1886; $8,446,OOO in 1887
with an additional $6,823,OOO to be
expended thereafter.
An outline of the apportionment by
PROJECTS Of these annual expenditures
under the program includes the fol-
lowing:
Milk River, MOntana.-A total Of
$181 900 to complete the St. Mary
Canal and Sherburne Lakes reser.

with $4,000 expended in 1928, $40,
600 in 1929, $4,000 in 1890, $4,000
in 1881, and $4,000 in 1892. Under

National boys And GIRLS Club CAMP
TO Be Held AT WASHINGTON NEXT JUNE

Holding of a national farm boys
and girls club camp in Washington, D.
c., June 1922, 1927, has been an
nounced by the United States de-
partment of agriculture following
presentation of the plans for the
camp to the extension section of the
Association of Land-Grant colleges
which met here recently.
The boys and girls attending this
camp will represent the 100000 or
more members of the farm boys and
girls clubs conducted by the coop
erative extension service of tn e
United States department of agricul-
ture and the state agricultural col
leges. Each state in the entire coun-
try, according to the plans for the ma
tional camp, may select two boys and
two girls as representative club men,
bers to attend, making a total Of
nearly 200 young people who will 60
to Washington for the occasion. The
delegates will be accompanied by q
member of their state agricultural ex-
tension service in charge of club
work.
The object of the camp is to pro-
vide an opportunity for a country
wide discussion Of the problems met
in carrying on extension work in ag-
riculture and home economies with
boys and girls on the farm, and 81
ways by which the work may be ex-
panded in order to make it possible
for a larger portion of the 11,000,00C

Need for a camp of this character
has been felt for some time by those
engaged in extension work with farm
young people and was requested BY
the extension section of the Associa
ton of Land-Grant colleges at it
