COMMERCIAL CLUB
WANTS PHOTOS OF
COUNTY INTEREST

Amateur and professional photo
graphers of Navajo county who
have made collections of views of
county scenes can assist the Wins
low Commercial Club and at the
same time achieve wide distribu-
ton of their efforts, according to
an announcement or appeal from
the Club secretary. The Club
plans to issue a folder soon to dis
tribute to information seekers over
the country, and the photographs
will be used to illustrate the book
let.
The finished folder will contain
information concerning WinslOw
and Navajo county, its points of in
terest, it's industries, climate and
facts of general interest. With
correspondence increasing daily,
and with all letters asking informa-
tion, the folders will have wide
circulation over the United States.
The pictures may be any size,
but of course the larger the picture
the better the reproduction. Sub
jects may be any point of interest
or of any industry practiced in the
county. Photographs of farms in
the southern area, of public gath
erings, of natural scenic wonders,
of lakes and streams and pictures
of general scenic value are especi-
ally sought. In the case of strict
lv scenic photos, human figures
should not appear except in the
background.
All photographs will be return
ed to their owners in good condi-
ton, and whether used or not,
their receipt and the cooperation
of their owners will be heartily ap-
preciated. Photos should be sent
to G. n. Laws, secretary CONNER
cial Club, Winslow, Arizona.

1865 REGISTERED
VOTERS CAST BUT
866 BALLOTS HERE

Regardless of the feeling of
some. disappointed candidates, who
no doubt believe that the vote cast
in Winslow was light, Judging by
their own totals, the vote cast here
was reasonably heavy in the pri-
maries. Eight hundred sixty-six
votes were cast in the five Wins
low precincts out of a possible L.
365.
Voting generally over the county
was practically the same, although
a higher percentage was expected.
owing to the abundance of pre-
election propaganda, and the inter
est in the race for the Democratic
nomination for governor.
The largest registration was at
precinct No. 2, whose polling place
was the Guild Hail. Four hundred
seventy-two were registered at that
place, with 314 voting. The small
est registration and vote were in
precinct No. 5, where 112 were reg
istered and only SO voted, thus Civ
ing precinct No. 5 the poorest per-
centage of any of the local voting
places.
The registration and vote at the
other three boxes follow: precinct
No. 1, 227 registered, 145 voted;
precinct No. 8, 336 registered, 211

colt, 81, a Navajo Indian living
north of Winslow, drove more than
forty miles to Winslow Wednesday,
where he was treated by DR.. J. w.

Election Returns
By Direct A.P. Wire
Excite Interest

Reflecting the keen interest dis :
played all through the preliminar-
les of the primary election, many
WinsIow people gathered in The
Mail building Tuesday night to re-
ceive the election returns by wire.
A special Associated Press wire
was run direct to the Mail office,
and an operator received the re-
turns simultaneously with metro
politan news centers.
From 1880 P. NJ, Tuesday, to 400
A. M. Wednesday, the wire was
kept busy bringing into Winslow
the story of the states political
record.
At the American Legion dance
to be heard in Holbrook next week
returns were announced as fast as
they could be relayed from The
Mail office by messengers, and add
ed to the interest of the affair
Acting as the official representa-
tive for the Associated Press, the
Mail collected returns from Navajo
and Apache counties, and sent out
returns, complete and incomplete,
all during Tuesday night.
This will also be continued thru
out today
The extra edition of Wednesday
morning reached Flagstaff and
Holbrook from to IL hours ahead
of any other news medium with
renort of the standing in various
contests.
Of almost equal interest to local
people will be the city election to
be held Friday, when the new city
charter is ratified by vote of the
people. Although no contest is ex-
pected, and while the proposed
charter has no opposition, its rati-
fication will be progressive step
and as such is drawing attention.

Council Will Meet
Tonight; Delayed
Account Election

Prevented from holding their
meeting Tuesday night by the pres
ence of the election board of pre-
cinct No. 1, the City Council will
meet tonight at the City Hall. No
meeting has been held for some
time, and the postponement of the
regular September session to this
late date will mean that more bus
mess than ordinarily will be trans
acted.
Among the most important fea-
lures of tonight's business will be
the formal acceptance of the Amer
ican-La France fire truck recently
purchased by the city. All council
men have publicly announced them
selves as relieved that the city at
last has adequate fire protection,
and as satisfied with the machine
in every way, following the right
tests to which it has been put.
The recent test convinced those
who witnessed it THAI the engine is
even better than claimed in the
specifications, and is able to per-
form satisfactorily for long periods
with increasing efficiency.
The figures sent the Arizona
Equitable Rating Bureau have been
declared to meet the bureaus re-
Quirements in every way, and the
report of thi obsdyw Wtescmfhmm
report of this body will be read to
the council tonight. L. G. Lonkey,
representing the American La
France company, will present the
council with the acceptance papers
for their final signature.
The reported decrease in light
and power rates, which is said to
have been filed with the Corpora
ton Commission by the Arizona
Electric Light and Power company
will also be discussed

CASES
IN NAVAJO COURT
ATTRACT INTEREST

Much local interest is centering
on the stockholders liability cases
held Tuesday at Arcadia Hall, the
since many local people were de-
positors in the defunct Bank of
Winslow, whose stockholders are
waging a legal battle with the State
Banking Department, to prove that
they are not liable under the double
liability statute. Judge Jones, of
Flagstaff. has been called to sit in
the cases, de to the Disqualified
tion of superior court Judge ]. E.
Crosby, of Navajo county.
If Sapp and Mclaughlin, attor-
neys for the state banking depart
ment should win the suits, it will
result in another dividend beside
the one already in process of pre-
paration and which is to be paid
October 1st. Mr.. Sapp states that
if the case is won by the depart
ment that the forthcoming dividend
with other assets on which the de-
partment expects to realize, will re-
suit in a total payment of Is cents
on the dollar to all depOsitors.
Considerable statewide interest
is also being shown in these cases
to be tried in the Navajo county
court. for on their result hangs the
decision of courts in other similar
cases pending

PREMIUM LIST OF
NAVAJO COUNTY'S
FAIR READY SOON

Within a week the premium list of
abe Navajo County Fair, which is
furnish education and amuse-
inent to county residents on Octo-
Der 1st and End, will be printed
and distributed. The fair, which is
to be held at Taylor this year, is
under the direction of a committee

such expositions for many years,
and his long experience will help
make the Fair a success.

be approximately 64 pages, and its
cost will be entirely paid from ad-
vertising in it's pages sold by mem
bers of the fair committee. This
booklet will be much larger than
most county fair pamphlets, and
will compare favorably with the
premium lists of state fairs of past
/; 53rs. Merchants of Winslow, Hol-
. 3ok, Snowflake, Lakeside and
Otner county towns have contribut-
ed to the success of the premium
list and availed themselves of an
excellent advertising opportunity
by placing their publicity in the
pages of the list.
The advertising in the premium
list will pay for it's printing, and
will leave a fair sum clear to add
to the account of the association.
The list itself, by classifying the
competition and advertising the
prizes to exhibitors. will create
added interest in the exposition,
and attract more exhibits to i'm
prove and enlarge the fair.

HIGH SCHOOL BAND
AND GLEE CLUB TO
BE ORGANIZEDHERE

Although exact figures on regis
tration in Winslow schools Tues
day are not available, it is almost
a certainty that this years enroll
ment will far surpass that of any
previous year, according to super
intendent of schools G. H. Madden
and prospects are pointing to the
most successful school year in To-
cal educational annals. The new
teachers selected to fill vacancies
left last year have all made excel
lent records in the past, and are
highly recommended by school Off
cials under whom they formerly
taught.
On Monday, the day before regis
tration, general teachers meeting
was held in Washington school au-
ditorium, and school problems in
general were taken up by Mr.. Mad
den. Following this meeting, the
teachers held an informal session
at which they all became acquaint-
ed with their co-workers.
Later each principal called the
teachers in his particular school
and explained to them the enrolling
and registration to take place on
Tuesday, and discussed methods to
be used during the coming school
year.
Among the new features will be
a Glee Club, which is to be in
charge of Miss Gladys Blackburn,
superintendent of musical instruc-
ton in local schools. Such a club
will find a welcome here, and will
be especially appreciated and effec-
tive at all public gatherings and
school affairs.
Mr.. Ben K. Cudd, new high
school principal, plans to organize
a school band, if enough local pu-
pills manifest sufficient interest to
warrant it. Mr.. Cudd is an expert
enced band leader, his last years
organization being composed of so
pieces.

candidacy as Governor reaffirms
my faith in the people of our state.
Il do not interpret the victory as

appreciation to those who have
contributed to my campaign fund,
to those who loaned their automo-

Pinetop Precinct
Results Received;
Two Still Silent

Only one of the three precincts
not heard from Wednesday had re-
ported up to late hour Thursday
evening, and this precinct, Pinetop,
had no effect on the county races
other than to increase Ellsworth's
majority in the race for the nomin-
alton for treasurer, and to decrease
Nelson's majority over Moore for
the senate by one vote.
Airpine and Clay Springs are yet
to be heard from, and it is not be-
lieved that these two will make a
material difference in the results,
except possibly to cut Ellsworth s
lead. Clay Springs, with a report
ed registration of 26 votes, is said
to be strong for Richards, ELS
worth's opponent, with Airpine un-
decided.

Much Excitement

Labor Day was observed quietly
in Winslow Monday, almost the en-

cities. The A. A. A races in HoI-

MILLER SPECIAL
WINS HANDILY IN
LABOR DAY RACE
(By GEORGE LAWS)

Cash customers who visited the
Highland Park race track in Hol-
brook Monday with the expectation
of seeing the Miller Special mop up
the homegrown talent in the last
race of the day, were not disap-
pointed The speedy car from Cali
fornia, piloted by Fred Fran, east
ly took the measure of the other
entrants. Oddly enough, all race
results conformed with the dope,
the Dusenberg Special taking the
other two main events, with Ralph
Miller in a Studebaker Special nos
ing out the rest of the field in the
consolation.
The product of the famous Harry
Miller was last minute entrant
and made it's bid only in the match
race, which was especially arrang-
ed for the Miller and the winners
of the other races. Apparently in
the order of their excellence, the
Dusenberg Special, with Harry Mil
burn driving, took second place,
with Ralph Miller third.
I, Two accidents brought the thrill
that most race fans crave, although
neither resulted in a fatality, thus
detracting a little from the enjoy
ment of the more radical enthusi-
asts. Wild Bill Agnew lost control
over his Ford Special in the first
lap of the first race, and jumped
the bank and several bitches, with
no damage to himself or his ma
chine. A little later Slim Harper,
in a Dodge Special, left the track
and rammed car standing near
the speedway. DR.. J. w. BazelI of
Winslow, who was standing on the
opposite side of the rammed ma
chine, was knocked down by the
impact, but was not badly hurt.
Harper suffered a BADLY cut ankle,
however.
The first race, a 15-mile event,
was won by Harry Milburn in the
Dusenberg, with John Lee in a.
Dodge Special taking second mon
ey. Jimmy Randolph, in his Ran
dolph, in his Randolph Special, was
third.
Ralph Miller ran first in the 10
mile consolation event for non
winners Of the first race. Two Ford
Specials ran second and third, with
Ray Miller and Wild Bill Agnew
on deck, respectively.
The 25-mile main event showed
exactly the same result, winners,
cars, place and all, the same as in
the first race, with Milburn, Lee
and Randolph finishing in the or
der named. Milburn and Miller ran
second and third in the last race,
wherein the Miller led them all
home
According to all reports, the race
Monday was the best the Holbrook
track ever staged from every angle
except that most important, the
box office. Although a good-sized
crowd braved the dust and heat, it
was not as large or lucrative as
crowds that have gathered to see
worse races, and it is noised abroad
that the promoters will probably
have to dig down in their jeans to
supply the deficiency caused by the
absent public
The supervision of the A. A. A.
was evident. The races were we'll
handled, and the barrier was rails
ed on every race at approximately
the scheduled time. The track was
dusty but fast, with the obscuring
clouds of Arizona real estate add
ing to the hazardous business of
collecting the long green by. racing.

Electric Power company, which
furnishes current for Winslow,

finished, and the rate reductions
asked some time ago by the city

Commission for approval. While
not as large as expected, the pro-
posed reduction represents quite a
saving to current users. In addi-
tion to the reduction proposed for
light and power, a new heating and
cooking rate is made available so
that the new schedules offer a
complete electrical service in all
classifications.
