Crs of the Arizona Electric Power
company of Winslow, compromise
may lie reached between the city
OFFICIALS and the company where
by the rate hearing, which has
been asked before the Arizona Corr
poration Commission may be dis

Monday an informal conference

was held at which the rate reduc-
ton was offered as a compromise,
provided the city officers would
ask for dismissal of the rate hear
ing before the corporation. Mayor
Gillard was not present at the con-
ference, although it was anounc-
ed several attempts were made to
get in touch with him.
1t is understood that a majority
of the city councilmen are in fa-
vor of the reduction, which rep
resents a reduced rate of one cent
in domestic and commercial light
ing, although the heating and pow
er rate as reduced some time ago
is not changed.
The new schedule proposed to

little change in range is reported.
j. Monday morning four inches of
snow lay on the ground on the
north rim of the Canyon. Where
precipitation was heaviest the
range was improved somewhat.
Since the snow range conditions
in the Pinedale section are re-

FAULT IN RAIL
THROWS SEVEN
CARS in DITCH


Giving away after. the locomotive
and six cars had passed over it,
faulty rail in the Santa Fe tracks
near Querino, Arizona, caused the
remaining seven cars to leave the
track Sunday evening, and endang-
cred the lives of scores of passen-
gers All the ears remained up
right, although tipped at a danger
GUS angle, and no one was injured.
Conductor C. Camp was i'll charge
OF the train, which was being
guided by engineer r. L. Moore.
The other members of the crew are
A. l.. Hopson,, fireman, and G. r.
Lloyd and H. P. Smith, brakemen.
According to the members of the
crew, the engine, tender and some
six coaches had passed over the
rail which caused the wreck, when
the rail literally broke. in pieces.
The remaining cars, which lnclud-
ed four Pullmans, two day coaches
and o baggage car, jumped the
track, and the train broke just
back of the baggage car which was
Off the rails The emergency air
stopped the train in a short dis
tance, and although there was some
confusion there was mo panic
among the passengers.
1t is considered extremely for
tunate by railroad men familiar
with the track between Winslow
and Gallup that the wreck occurred
in the exact spot which it did. A
few hundred feet east or west the
track is dangerously near the can
yOn of the Rio Puerco, and such
an accident at those places might
have resulted in the trains plung-
ipg into the canyon with result
ing loss of many lives.
Wrecking crews from Winslow
and Belen arrived at the scene OF
the wreck early Monday morning,
and the main line was clear by
four O'Clock Monday afternoon.
The Santa Fe Chief" the new de
luxe transcontinental train, which
passed through Winslow on it's first
eastern run Monday afternoon,
only delayed about an hour on it's
run into Gallup.
The subsequent orders following
the derailment furnish a striking
example of the lengths to which the
Santa F'e is going to prevent accl-
dents. According to reports, every
rail that was included in the same
batch as was the defective rail
that caused the accident will be re
placed with new steel.
In the steel foundries, thousands
of rails are made from the same
pour" after the steel has been
formed from its heating process in
the huge crucibles Of the foundry
Feeling that all other rails includ-
ed in the pour that made the rail
which went to pieces Sunday may
be dangerous. an inspection will be
made from Albuquerque to Selig-
man. and such rails of the same
serial number as are found in the
tracks will be torn UP and their
places filed with proved rails.

THRILLING RESCUE

An unusual and thrilling rescue OF
a little child toddling in the path of
an onrushing locomotive took place
last month at Fort Benning and has
lust reached the columns of the state
press. The hero of the occasion was
Private John H. Virgins who was at
the engine throttle. On first sight
he thought a dog was on the track
but closer view revealed to his honor
the presence of a tiny child, an eigh-
teen months old baby in fact. Though
all brakes were instantly applied, the
down grade made the stopping OF the
train matter of time, but without
an instant's hesitation the engineer
leaped ahead of the engine, and
snatching the child threw himself
with his burden from the tracks with
in a hairs breadth of a horrible death.
When this act was reported to the
captain of the quartermasters corps
in Washington, he expressed the
opinion that this heroic and remark
able rescue should be featured in the
press.

KEEP THEM OFF THE STREETS

Marble season is here, bringing with 1t
source of great danger. Small boys IN seVefal
parts of the city are playing the game on the
streets. Children have not yet learned the
danger to them in using the street for play.
Parents must exercise enough care for the
child's safety to keep him off paved streets.
Small children can not be expected to use
judgment in therplay. That faculty OF mind
has not yet been developed. Keep the boys
off the streets. Public sentiment is usually
against the driver of car who has an acct
dent involving a small child, because all mo-
florists know they must watch the kids" But
parents who permit children to play marbles
in the street are grossly derelict in their duty

ON

Easy Spelling
Big M


Again a movement to simplify
spelling by using a phoneti method
is being revived by English states
men and university professors. One
of the most enthusiastic advocates OF
such a change in the past was Slr
Isaac pittman whose invention OF
short hand was as great a success as
his plan for phonetic spelling was a
failure. Present champions Of the
revised system have petitoned the
prime minister of England for roy
al commission to be appointed to IN
vestigate and report on the plan. I'm
til we discard the letter c which IS al
ways sounded as or except IN the
combination Oh which might need to
be retained, also make each letter re-
tain but one sound we cannot arrive
at any positive results. We could ele-
inmate soft g, q, and very easily
also all silent letters, and make uf
replace all present equivalents as H.
nal SYLLABLE, But when we were
through with our simplified spelling
we would add another language to the
study of our descendants and they
would have to read our present liter
allure with the aid of lexicon, as
unintelligible would it become in its
present cumbersome form just like
our study of Anglo-Saxon is now, i'm
possible witho ut handbook or guide
for Interpretation. Why not keep
the ills we have than fly to others we
know not of?

Though not discernible to the caus-
ial observer there is a considerable
leaning in the tower of the Old South
church in Boston, total of more
than two feet at the top. Architects
and engineers compute an increase
of the inclination as only three
fourths of an inch in the last twelve
years, so danger line is not antici-
pated in any near future time. 1t has
long way to go to approach the
angle maintained these many years
by the leaning tower of Pisa.

MUSIC APPRECIATION

Going back to another year, we recall
the enthusiasm that attended the
music Appreciation course and con-
test put on by the music committee
of the Woman's Club under Mrs. L..
"A. Turner's regime. Mesdames D.
L. Bradshaw, U. J. Bennett and j.
B. Norman had jealous cooperation
from the school teachers andpu
pills in the preparation, while large
and pleased audiences attended every
public recital The city merchants
were liberal in the bestowal of splen-
did prizes and by this general appro-
val could be discerned the wide ap-
peal that music study could make.
Some of these leaders have gone, but
from their example and successful
activities we should still work for the
ultimate goal of fundamental know
ledge of music by every child in the
public school, increased chorus sing
ing so valuable in it's physical exhi-
laration and in mental and moral up
lift, the possible development OF tai
ent in a few, and the wider apprecl-
alton of music by ALL children.

UNIQUE DEMONSTRATION AT

Persons have heard of roofs leak
ing like sieve, but Gates Waxel-
baum, head Of the Empire Products
Company of this city, hys taken a
sieve and demonstrated that he can
stop water from running through it.
The unique demonstration is just
inside the office of hte Empire Pro-
ducts Company on Broadway.
Mr.. Waxelbaum took an ordinary
window screen and shaped it into a
square box.
Then he applied coating of
liquid asbestos paint all over the
screen. As soon as dried, which was
two months ago, he filed the minia-
ture tank with water. 1t was half
full yesterday when Telegraph re-
porter called.
But there wasn't sign of a leak.
Half of the water ha Incorporated in
those two months and the rest will
be there until it evaporates, for there
is no other place TO rit to go.
Mr.. Waxelbaum was called upon
to look at the roof of the Telegraph
building on Cherry Street three years
ago. Metal roofers had said that it
couldn't be repaired.
"I'll fix it," hesaid, he applied a
coat of liquid asbestos paint and
there hasn't been leak since.
