Much Gas Wasted
Driving Rapidly
To Filling Station

When the gas tank is beginning to

Quires more gas to travel 81 miles

A defect in a wheel on a freight
car caused the front trucks of the
car, which was included in a west
bound freight train, to leave the
tracks near Lupton, near the Ari-
zona-New Mexico state line Tues
day afternoon. The accident was
not serious, only causing a delay
of one hour and twenty minutes.

Returning to play the two final
games of the season on the home

near the end of what might be
called successful season. 1t is
true that two GAMES have been lost,
one tied and only one registered
in the win column, but compared
with some former years the 1925

CALIFORNIA BOY KILLED WHEN
CAR DRIVEN BY MOTHER TURNS
TURTLEON HIGHWAY ATST. JOE

What was to have been happy
homecoming from an equally
happy family reunion was brought
to tragic climax Monday morning
when a heavy sedan driven by Mrs.
Henry Setron of Los Angeles, Cali
fornia, got beyond control after a
skid on the highway two miles west
times, instantly killing Sylvester
N. Setron, 13, Mrs. Setron's son.
Mrs. Setron was seriously injured
in the accident, and her recovery is
doubtful.
The mother and her son were
enroute to Ell CentrO, California
after a visit with Mrs. Setron's
mother in Buffalo, New York. Her
husband and daughter were de-
layed in the east, and were making
the transcontinental trip on the
Santa Fe Mr.. Setron was notified
of his sons death before his train
reached Winslow Tuesday, and
stopped here long enough to leave
instructions for the disposition of
the body before continuing on to
Flagstaff, where Mrs. Setron was
sent to the hospital from Winslow.
The accident occurred about $50
Monday morning, when Mrs. Set

at a good rate of speed caused the

THIRD ACCIDENT
IN FOUR. DAYS ON
HIGHWAY TOEAST

Three accidents in four days on
the Old, Trails highway between
WinsloW and Holbrook has appar-
emily established a record for this
stretch of roadway. The third ac-
cident occurred Tuesday afternoon
when a tourist in heavy sedan
crashed into the rear of a light
coupe driven by Fred Chase of
Winslow. No damage was done ex-
cept to the two machines, and
what blame there was in the acci-
dent was placed by witnesses on
the tourist.
According to Chase, he had
stopped at the side of the road,
some hundred yards west of the
bridge over the Little Colorado. He
was parked at the right hand side
of the road, had come to full
stop, when he was struck by the
other car
According to the tourists YER
sion of the occurrence, he was
driving behind Chase, when the
latter stopped without signalling
Another machine, the driver Of
which was repairing tire, was
stopped on the opposite side of the
road, facing east, and the resulting
crowded roadway caused the acci-
dent
No charges were preferred by
Chase, whose car was badly dam
aged in the collision.
This is the third traffic mishap
this week. and all three happened
in a four-day span. The first was
Sunday, when G. R. Schorfield, of
Akron, Ohio, lost control of his car
and turned over just east of Joe
City. The second and most serious
accident occurred Monday morn
ing, when Sylvester Setron, of Los
Angeles, lost his life in a big Sc
dan which left the road and turn
ed over several times.

NAVAJO COUNTY
/ ELECTION COST
NEARLY. S3,OOO..OO

Costs to Navajo county of both
the primary and general elections
held this year totalled approx
mately $3,00000 each, according to
C. G. Payne, chairman of the
board meeting at which the costs
were tabulated The figures show
ed that more than $2,700.00 had
been expended and that other eX-
penses not yet brought forward
will raise the total considerably.
Practically all the election cost
was made up of items of $500 or
less, although larger sums were
paid in some cases for regiStra-
tiOn Of voters.
The cost Of printing the ballots
and other necessary printing con-
nected with the election is not in
cluded in the figures, since this
cost was included in the county
budget which was prepared in the
summer.
Many local politicians, particu-
larly the losers in the recent
struggle, will probably envy the
county at getting off so light. The
cost OF winning an office is not
such a fly in the ointment, but
authoritative sources state that
spending money to lose a race is
worse than jerking out a tooth.

PENNEY BLDG.

just as tossing a stone into a
pool causes ripples for quite a
while, ripples that reach to the
farthermost, banks, SO any innova-
tion or addition to any circle
causes similar ripples of adjust
ment to be formed. The building
of two new structures in Winslow
left vacancies to be filled, after
the new tenants had taken their
places, and the speed with which
the vacancies are being filled is
proof OF the demand in Winslow
for more business houses.
Since the J, G. Penney Company
first announced that it's new loca-
ton would be in the Trimble

of the Penney Company has been
leased to V. H. Driver of the Stand

In their new location both Driver
and Mr. Robbins have a much more
adequate space in which to carry
on their respective business, both
of which have been growing rapid
ly since their commencement
Mr.. Drivers business history ap-
peared some weeks ago in the spec

Mr.. Driver and Mr.. Robbins expect
and are making preparations for, a
large number of their friends.
Flowers, refreshments and other
favors will be distributed. ta
The greater floor space gives
MIR. Driver a much better opport-

Rice-Springerville
Highway Is In Good
Condition All Year

PHOENIX - One of the visi-
tors this week at the Phoenix
chamber Of commerce was Alvin
Becker, Of Springerville.
Nh. Becker is the son of Gustav
Becker, and is associated with his
father and brother in the Becker
Mercantile company. He drove
overland via the Springervilla-
Rice highway, and called at the
chamber Of commerce to give first
hand information relative to this
road, for reason of the many Phoe-
nicians and citizens of southern
Arizona who have Travelled this
road to fish and hunt amid the
wonderful scenery of the famous
White; mountains.
Mr.. Becker stated to officials 0i
the chamber of commerce. There
seems to be in southern Arizona a
misapprehension of the Springer
ville-Rice highway, as to its only
being open part season. l find
that quite a number of people are
OF the opinion that this road IS
closed four or five months OGt Of
each year, but this is erroneous.
Now that the road has been con-
siderably improved, it should Is
open all the year, with possibly

New Santa Fe
Chief" Here On
Initial Trip

The Chief passed through Wins
low on its first west-bound run
tuesday afternoon. The Chief was
on his historic trail that runs from
chicago to Los Angeles, and hesi-
tated in the city only long enough
TO give travellers and others at the
Santa Fe station a glance at his
beauty and strength.
For the benefit of those who do
not know, The Chief is the Santa
Fe's newest train between the two
cities named above. 1t is extra
fast, extra fine and extra fare" 3"
and 1t saves an entire business day
in its journey. Travellers on this
first new Chief left Chicago Sum
day night at 8 o'clock, and arrived
in Los Angeles Wednesday morn
ing at 8 o'clock. having an entire
extra day for business or to get
settled for the winter.
The new train is a post war edi-
.tiOn of the old Deluxe train on the
Santa Fe that, before the war, ran
once week. The extra fare on
that was $25. The extra fare on
The Chief is $40, and the traveller
gets lot for his extra money.
The ladies have a lounge-room
all for themselves, this in addition
to the observation sun parlor.
There are maid and a valet, a
barber and bath, and all of the
comforts and luXuries of the mod
ern home. There is a club car
Fred Harvey who has had charge
of the dining service on the Santa
Fe for more than fifty years, has
taken the handsome new dining
cars on The Chief in hand, and
promises even to OutdO hialself in
the way of meals.
In order to put this one new
train day into service the Santa
Fe has purchased brand new steel
equipment for ten complete trains.
The Pullmans are the final word
in comfort There is a complete
drawing room and compartment
car, also the usual complement of
regular drawing room and sleeper
cars.
1t was difficult to recognize the
porters on the new train at first,
because they have discarded their
blue uniforms, and appeared clad
in handsome dark gray ones with
an arm band bearing the words,

From the appearance of the new

most popular in the list of already

Three Injured
When Car Loops
Near Joe City

Three tourists narrowly escaped
death when a coupe in which they
were travelling across country ov-
erturned on the highway just in
side the city limits of Joe City last
Sunday afternoon All three of the
occupants of the car were painful
ly cut and bruised, but their in
juries were pronounced not neces-
sarily dangerous after examina-
tion by Winslow physicians.
The party, all members of which
are residents of Akron, Ohio, was
made up of Mr. and Mrs. G. S.
Schorfield and d. A. Nicholas.
Schorfield and Nicholas are bus
mess partners in Okron, and the
party were on a pleasure trip to
Los Angeles
SchOrfield, who was driving the
car at the time of the accident,
was at first thought to have suf-
fered broken arm and shoulder,
but later and more thorough exam
ination showed that no bones were
broken. Both Mr. and Mrs. Schor-
field were severely cut about the
head and face by flying glass. Nj
cholas escaped with slight cuts
and badly wrenched back and
leg. All were badly bruised.
Had the body Of their car not
been of all-steel construction, there
is no doubt but that all would
have been killed, for the machine
turned over twice, every window
but one was completely shattered,
and the entire top and body twist
ed out of alignment.
According to Nicholas. Schor
field rounded the corner just east
of Joe City at a good rate Of speed
and rear tire blowing out caused
the car to Swerve and skid, beyond
the drivers control. This curve is
the first on the highway after pass
ing through st. Joe, and is practi
cally a right angle.
The coupe skidded across the
highway over the low grade on
the south side of the road, and in
attempting to mount the grade, the
car turned its double somersault.
The speed limit sign, recently
placed by order of the city dads of
the neighboring town, made poor
buffer, and a center hit on this OBJ,
long Of roadside scenery uprooted
it and tossed it neatly into the ir-
rigation ditch some yards distant
Mr.. and Mrs Schorfield were
brought to Winslow and relief
car sent to tow in the damaged
machine and to bring in Nicholas.
The party will be in Winslow
for Several days, but will probably
be able to continue their journey
as soon as their car is repaired.

TRAIL
is COMPLETED
BEYOND ALPINE

PHOENlX-The surfacing of the
northern end of the Coronado Trail
between Alpine and the Greenlee
county line has been completed with
the finest results. The work has
been carried on under the super
vision of the Bureau of Public
Roads, with M, L. O'Neal in charge.
The work done by Mr. O'Neal on
thiss road Is worthy of the high
est praise. There is probably no
Sbettera surfaced road in Northern
Arizona than the stretch leading
from Alpine to three or four miles
beyond the Greenlee county line,
They were fortunate in finding a
gravel pit just short distance
from Alpine on this. road. This
gravel is used in its native state
with the' finest results. The pit
is located on steep mountain side
at the head of Colman Greek, and
from all indications there is an
inexhaustable supply.
They have installed in this pit a
loading apparatus. which sifts the
gravel, permitting desirable sizes
and quality stone to pass through
into the truck, at the same time
holding back the undesirable.
They are also fortunate in un-
covering layers or strata of gravel,
differing in size from the finest to
the very coarSest. Due to Mr.
O'Neal's clear understanding as to
the needs Of this road and the prop
er mixing combinations of this
gravel and clay, he has given it a
surface which he believes is equal
or superior to any that he has
ever used
1t might be mentioned that Mr.
O'Neal has been in the employ Of
the Bureau of Public Roads for
some II years, having worked in
Oregon, Washington and other
states with fine success. He was
sent into Arizona with high recon-
mendations, and the work he has
done upon this road is evidence
that he is deserving of all the good
things said of him. 1t is interest
ing to know that this work was not
carried on under uniform plan.
Instead Mr.. O'Neal was told to go
ahead and gravel it according to
the needs. This was done with
The result that several hundred dol
lars were saved, and at the same
time better results were realized
The man directly responsible for
the freedom in the plans of cur
facing was c.. c. Morrison. head of
the Arizona division of the Bureau
of Public Roads
The surfacing of the southern
end Of the Coronado Trail is under
way. 1t will be only short time
until Northern Arizona will have
d fine graveled road over one OF
the most scenic routes in the south
west
