.ENROUTE TO L. A.

On the finest special train the
Santa Fe has ever run on its coast
lines, nearly 200 of the leading
railroad representatives of all i'm
portant lines east of the Rockies
and south to New Orleans, passed
through Winslow last week on
their way to the fifty-first annual
convention of the American Asso-
citation of Travelling Passenger
Agents, in Los Angeles.
The special was manned by sew
eral Santa Fe passenger officials
from Chicago, st. Louis, Topeka,
Kansas City and Los Angeles, and
was run on fast schedule all the
way to it's destination.
Many of the agents brought their
wives and families to share with
them the experience of viewing the
broad and fertile west.
One of the side trips was to the
Grand Canyon, where the special
"laid over" long enough to give the
agents a real opportunity of view
ing this most famous scenic mar
vel.
The railroads represented on the
Santa Fe special include the Wa
bash, M and M. T., l. and G. NJ,
Pennsylvania, B. and o., Cunard

COUNTY FAIR WILL
OFFER MANY EXTRA
NOVELTY FEATURES

AS the date for the annual Nava-
jo County Fair draws near, it be-
comes more evident that this years
exposition will be above the ordin-
ary, and that increased countrywide
interest will mean a greater at
tendance than ever before. In all
departments there have been
changes and additions, and the
broad lines of competition will
draw large numbers of contestants.
Featured among the novel at
fractions will be stunt airplane,
for whose services the local avia-
ton committee and the fair COM
mittee are reported to be bidding.
1t. G. j. McQuillan, chairman of the
city aviation committee this week
received letter from the Western
ten requesting the services of a
stunt flyer. The letter from the
aeronutical body stated that Nc
Quillan's letter had been forwarded
to such an aviator for personal an
swer, and a reply is expected at
any time.
The aviator is to receive full
rights to all passenger flying in re :
turn for his services as an air en-
tertainer, and it is believed he will
find many eager to take trip over
Navajo county.
The premium list, which was is
sued this week, contains 64 pages
of reading matter and advertising,
exclusive of the cover, and shows
lists of the many prizes offered in
various lines of competition. So
many lines are open for contest
ants, and so many prizes offered,
that a huge display of agricultural,
horticultural and home-products is
assured. Many merchants will al
so take advantage of the oppor-
tunity presented by the big crowds
expected to attend, and retail
stores will have displays on the
grounds.
F. J. Willis of Taylor, president
of the fair association, was in
Winslow yesterday arranging for
the distribution of the fair prem
ium lists. Many of these lists will
be mailed to other parts Of the
state, and the rest will be passed
out here and in other Navajo
county towns.
Mr.. Willis has announced that
special attraction will be football
game between the Santa Fe appren-
tice team of Winslow and another
team, probably Winslow High
school. With the apprentice team
showing form equal to that which
led them to an apprentice cham
pionship last year, and with Wins
low high showing up with the best
material in years, the game should
be thriller.
Inability to remove the county
grand stand from Snowflake to
Taylor resulted in mass meeting
last week, at which time enough
financial help was pledged in five
minutes to assure a new grand
stand on the Taylor fair grounds,
according to Mr.. Willis. 10000
feet of lumber will go into the con-
struction of the grand stand, and
an additional $4,000 feet will be
used to build the dancing pavilion.

Tunney is New Heavyweight Champion
RED CROSS ASKS
HELP FOR FLORIDA
SUFFERERS

An echo of the reports from
Florida of the deadly hurricane
that recently swept Miami and
other cities there has found its
way to Winslow through the Red
Cross, in an appeal to the local
branch for assistance. Chas. F..
Dare, secretary of the Navajo
Apache Chapter this week1 ceived
two wires from VIM. Carl Hunt, of
San Francisco, head OF the west
ern Red Cross organization, in
which Hunt made known requests
for aid from high sources.
This great tragedy has by it's
magnitude lifted itself out of the
plane of a local or state problem,
and has assumed the proportions
of national tragedy of the same
scale as the San Francisco fire
and earthquake in 1906 and Gal
weston storm Of 1900. Hundreds
are dead, more are missing, and
vast multitudes are homeless in
the wake of the tropical storm thai
swept from the Bahamas over the
narrow straits of the easterly por-
tion of the Caribbean Sea into
southern and eastern Florida.
The National Red Cross head
quarters has wired the San Fran
cisco office, under which the local
chapter holds it's charter, that the
Florida hurricane and disaster Is
OF sufficient magnitude to require
the assistance of all chapters. On
the request of the Governor of
Florida, the Red Cross is extend
ing aid to the devastated area, and
the local Red Cross IS authorized
by the western office to receive
and forward all contributions for
relief.
The treasury of the local chap
ter is in bad condition, owing to
the fact that no Red Cross roll
call was held last year. None has
been held this year, as the Red
Cross was to benefit from the ac-
tlv1tles of the Community Chest
whose work has not yet been fin.
lshed. Less than $4,000 is in the
Red Cross fund at present. and
the need of Florida for assistance
means that any who care to make
contributions must get in touch
Immediately with Mr.. Dare.
Ihe National Headquarters has
started the fund with an initial
donation of 100000, and chap
ters in other large cities will M
doubt hasten other large sums to
headquarters to helpthe stricken
area. D
In stories sent over the wire nv

Coolidge has issued a proclama.
ton calling for generous contrihn.
tlons through the Red Cross for
the sufferers, and the entire ma
tlon is expected to respond will

Cottonwood Wash
Bridge Approach
Being Repaired d

Work of repairing the state high
way bridge approach at Cottonwood
Wash, which resulted in the death
of Miss Leorena Shipley, when it
caved in September 18th, is going
forward rapidly, and in few weeks
the new approach will be cOmplet-
ed. A number of heavy piles, and
larger number of steel rails will
be sunk into the quicksand to form
a strong foundation for the road
way.
The work is in charge of w. P.
BeIger, who is temporarily acting
for the state highway department.
Mr. Belger is foreman with the
Mckee Construction company,
which has been engaged locally in
rebuilding and improving the San
ia Fe roundhOuse.
Mr.. Belger has had years of ex-
perience in all forms of building
and construction, and his efficiency
is reflected in the manner in which
the pilings are heing sent down
to the required depth. Even un-
der the handicap of insufficient
equipment the timbers and rails
are going through the sand at a
good rate, and the job will be COM
pleted by the middle of October.
During the process of reconstruc-
tion, tourists are being routed over
a detour that crosses Chevelon
Canyon. While this route is rough
and sandy, it offers the only open
road to motor traffic, and dozens
of cars daily are safely making
the journey.

NEW WBUILDINGS ARE
PLEASING ADDITION
TO BUSINESS AREA

With the two big new buildings
under construction rapidly taking
form and nearing completion, the
downtown section of Winslow is
acquiring a new impressiveness
The new home of the Winslow Mail
and the Trimble building are de-
clared by many to be as fine in
construction and appearance as any
in the state, and it is certain that
there are none better in northern
Arizona.
The printing plant of The Mail
will be in it's new home within
two weeks, and the two upper
stories, which are to contain a new
and modern hotel, will be finished
shortly after. The metal tile roof
is completed now, and the floor
of The Mail office and shops will
be finished this week. AS soon as
the floor has "set," the front of the
building will be completed, and the
process of moving the printing ma
chinery will begin.
Furniture for the Hotel Howell,
-hich is to be above the printing
sant, will be ready for installa-
ton as soon as the building is
ready, and will be of a class equal
to it's new home. The finest of
plumbing fixtures, lights and other
building details are being install
ed in Winslow's new hotel, which
will be one of the most modern and
best equipped in northern Arizona.
Masons have completed the brick
work on the front of the Trimble
building, and the big electric sign
of the J. c.. Penney store, which
ill occupy the larger part of the
.fructure, has been raised. The
store front is particularly attrac-
tive, with it's handsome design Of
white, tan and blue face brick.
Tile and plate glass will add
much to the appearance of the
Trimble building, and the new fix
lures for the Penney store. which
were received last week, will make
that institution a distinctively mod
ern and attractive shopping center.
Manager L..W. James reports that
many new lines will be features

FIRE In BOX CAR
DESTROYS PAPER
STOCK WORTH $4OO

Fire which was discovered in a
box car on the siding next to Bah
bitt Brothers warehouse on Mon
day afternoon was quelled in the
Santa Fe yards by railroad employ
ees, but only after considerable
damage had been done to the car
and it's contents. The car was con-
signed to the Winslow Mail, to be
reshipped to the Holbrook Tribune,
and contained a supply of news
print for the Duplex press that
they recently installed.
The car was spotted Sunday, and
Mexicans working for a local trans
fer company unloaded the bulk of
the paper, which is in rolls, Mon
day morning. A part of the ship
ment was to be re-consigned to the
Holbrook Tribune" and was left
in the car with that purpose in
view. The men unloading the car
were left after the Nails paper had
been transferred to the warehouse
with instructions to lock the ware
house and car, and to return the
keys to Babbitt Brothers store.
Shortly after, a switch engine
crew at work at the yard noticed
the smoke from the conf1agation,
and backing their engine onto the
spur, drew the car to a location
near one of the numerous fire
hydrants in the yards. After the
doors were forced open, a volun-
teer fire crew soon got the flames
under control. The car was badly
charred inside, and about $4,000
worth of paper was spoiled by fire
and water.
Responsibility for the blaze has
not yet been fixed, nor the origin
of the fire determined.
