AS SEATTLE SEES US.

nv VGN ' H@ VS@S WI
 The following is copied from the Seattle Post Intelligencer of July 17th, 1926. We assume that the location of the Eskimos in Metlakatla is not attributable to the Bureau of Education or to MT. Caldwell, but that it comes from the typewriter of some reporter in Seattle who has vague ideas about it's next door neighbor Alaska. However, we consider the mistake amusing enough to reprint.
 ESKIMOS IN METLAKATLA
 An experiment in introducing chickens, ofthe Rhode Island Red variety, and such other accessories of the farm as apple trees and bees and ducks and perhaps a COW or two, will be made this fall in South- eastern Alaska when agriculture as a course of study will be taught for the first time in a government industrial school.
 Heretofore, agricultural activi- ties have been largely confined to the several experiment stations, and the native population has contented itself with hunting and fishing where there was bit of a thrill as we'll as subsistence.
 This year Jonathan H. Wagner, chief of the Alaska division of the United States bureau of education, has decided to try out the ac- climatization of hardy poultry and large fruits to Alaskan conditions. The trial will be made in the indus trial school at Metlakatla, southwest of Ketchikan.
 The industrial director who has been appointed to the post, Horace Caldwell, will sail shortly and his luggage will contain such interesting items as two breeders, sixty-five baby chicks, one hive of bees Gf permission is obtained), and possibly a young nursery of fruits which are successfully raised n Western Washington. The Metla- katla region is not dissimilar to this portion of the state, Caldwell explained, little damper, and probably quite a little colder dur ing certain mort ths, but otherwise propitious for the experiment.

Power Co. Manager
Says Reduction Is
Equal to IL per Cent

George 7. Harrington, general
manager for the Flagstaff -Winslow-
Holbrook group of electric lighting
plants, stated this week that the
new rates filed for Winslow have
been approved by the Corporation
Commission and will be applied to
the October bills as planned. AS
all changes in the rates were re-
ductions a public hearing by the
commission was not required.
Speaking of the rate reduction
Mr.. Harrington said "The base
rate for lighting has been reduced
from eighteen cents to sixteen cents
which amounts to a reduction of
eleven cents on the dollar for resi-
dence and ordinary users; while the
addition of still lower secondary
and excess rates will make better
show window and sign lighting
possible for the merchants. AL
together the total received by the
company from the sale of electric
ity for lighting purposes, which
constitutes 80 per cent of their
business, will be reduced by ap-
proximately Is per cent under the
new rates.
Gin addition to the reduction in
the lighting rates new very low
rate is offered for cooking pur-
poses and a new ruling has been
made allowing domestic size cleo
trio refrigerators the benefit of the
power rates. The net earnings of
the Power Company for the year
1925, and for the first six months
Of this year do not warrant a re-
ductiOn in rates, being less than
the percentage permitted by the
commission, but the management
is expecting to build up through
the operation of the new rates
enough additional revenue to offset
what otherwise might be a serious
loss.
"A reduction in the street light
ing rates was also made, this re-
duction dating from June 1st, and
being the result of the greatly in
creased number of street lights
used by the city The new street
lighting rate is quite low and will
undoubtedly result in still further
increases in the number of street
lights.
1T is quantity sales that make low
prices possible and the problem of
making quantity sales of electricity
in the average small town is a very
difficult one. In most cases the
plant must be operated at an ac-
tual loss for many hours of the
twenty-four in order that the com
munity have a complete and salts
factory service and this loss must
necessarily be covered by some
what increased price during the
hours of greatest use. which is al
ways during the lighting period. 8"

ENGINEER MAKES
SURVEY HERE FOR
RATING BUREAU

Within week after city clerk,
Chas. l.. Murphy had written the
Arizona Equitable Rating Office in
regard to a resurvey of Winslow
with possible decrease in insur-
ance rates in mind, the Phoenix Of
flee had their engineer, G. Withers
here to make the new survey.
Withers arrived Monday and left
Tuesday, after looking over the new
fire truck and the city water mains
and fire hydrants.
The bureaus engineer stated that
the new survey was to be used in
re-rating Winslow, if in the opin-
ion of the office the new fire fight
ing equipment makes such a claim
just. Inasmuch as the old fire
truck is to be kept as an auxiliary
fire engine, the protection now af-
forded should warrant a good re-
duction, it is said
Among other data taken back to
Phoenix by Withers was the report
for the past five years on fires in
Winslow.
Withers is the same engineer who
recently conducted the test on the
new fire truck, when he reported
that the American-La France en-
gine was o. K in every respect.

PHOENIX, Oct. IA dream of
almost two score years will find
fulfillment here tomorrow when
two special Southern Pacific pas
senger trains, one from Los An
geles and the other from Ell Paso,

Almost from the day, 80 years
ago, when the Southern Pacific
as the "Maricopa and Phoenix
Railway" linked the then little
cow-hand community with the out

ing steel, Phoenix has dreamed of
a main line. And tomorrow will
see two giant locomotives flying
over new steel from Wellton to
Picacho as the first official carriers
of human freight to use the new
outlet for the Valley.
Motorcades from all the VALLEY
towns, as well as from other points
over the state will take part in the

COMMERCIAL CLUB
TAKES ACTION ON
PARK FOR WINSLOW

Acting on motion of a member,
president M. L. Veteto of the Wins
low Commercial club at the Monday
night meeting appointed a commit
tee to formulate and present at the
clubs next meeting plan whereby
a recreation park could be had in
Winslow
This action followed discussion
wherein it was pointed out that the
,lub should take up one thing at
a time, put the entire force of the
club behind the one movement, and
follow it through to successful
conclusion if possible. 1t was also
stated by various members that
while discussion on what a Com
mercial club could do was inter-
esting and instructive to members,
it made no impression on TIE pub
lie, and that it would be necessary
to "do things" in order to establish
proof of the power of such an Or
ganization.
The continued life and service of
the Commercial club, which has
duu SuCCC0OlOlly pdooCO
the point at which Winslow Com
mercial clubs of the past have been
! in the habit of dying out seems to
nave already made an impression
on most of the city's business men,
according to club officers, who are
well pleased with the increasing
attendance and Membership at the
meetings.
The secretary's report, read at
the last meeting, showed that road
and other information had been
given to many tourists in the past
month, and that the clubs CORES
pondence is growing heavier each
day.
Mondays meeting was consumed
by discussion on what could be ac-
complished by the Commercial club
for betterment of conditions in
Winslow, for private citizens, for
county improvements, especially
roads, and for better business con-
ditions. (,
1t was this discussion, which in
troduced such improvements as
road from Winslow to Clay Springs,
city delivery Of express packages,
new Federal building, investigation
as to whether or not freight rates
were discriminatory against Wins
low, a play park in Winslow, and
other subjects, that called forth the
motion referred to above, that the
club take up some one definite pro-
ject.
A highly interesting talk was de-
liHered on possible improvements

Gas Prices Here
Reasonable When
Comparison Made

According to figures given out
this week by c. l.. Murphy, city
clerk, who recently made a survey
of gas rates in other western towns
the new low rates recently obtain
ed in Needles, California, are even
yet higher than the rates enjoyed
now by local people.
Needles has been fighting for a
lower rates for some time, and the
announcement in a recent issue Of
a Needles paper started Murphy's
comparison of the rates in the two
towns.
According to the statement in the
Needles Nugget" the new rates are
based on a sliding scale, with a
minimum of 800 cubic feet at $3.50
as against 700 foot minimum at
$3.50 in Winslow. One thousand
feet costs $3.75 in Needles and 1925
here, 1000 feet in Needles $6.25, in
Winslow $5.75. On higher quanti-
ties, too, Winslow prices are less
than the Needles price. Ten dol
lars buys $500 cubic feet here, and
the same amount of gas costs S12.9O
in Needles, 10000 feet in Winslow
costs $3.50, in Needles $21.OO, and
10000 feet are $500 here and $39
in the California city.
