(By GEORGE LAWS)

Rain will fall in HOpiland, and
the little patches of corn and mel
ons and beans that dot the valley
under the craggy walls of First
Mesa will flourish.
For the rain gods have been pro-
tiated by fealty done them by the
Priests and Dancers of the Snake

On the floor of the little square
in the center of the village before
a crowd of $500, at least half of
whom were white visitors, the
Snake Men and the Antelope Priests
completed the sacred ceremony that
has never failed to bring the pray

WINSLOWITES
ENJOY TRIP UP
FRISCO PEAKS

Mr.. and Mrs. Fred B. Douglas, of
Winslow. accompanied by Mrs, K.
J. Iler, and daughter, Alice, and A.
r. Hughes, superintendent of the
power plant at Flagstaff, motored
to the summit of the San Francisco
Peaks, Sunday, over the new high
way recently opened following
years of arduous construction work.
In speaking of the drive in which
an ascent of 1000 feet is made in
II miles, Mr.. Douglas said it was
the most scenic trip in all of
Northern Arizona, and one we'll
worth while.
An elevation of 10000 feet above
sea level is attained upon reaching
the end of the highway, now near
ing completion, and which will ul-
timately make possible a motor
trip to the summit of the lofty San
Francisco Peaks, from which point
one may see into four states, and
Old Mexico.
A good supply of water should be
provided by those who take the
drive, Mr.. Douglas reports, al
though there are two points en-
route where water is obtainable,
the first about three miles beyond
the toll gate, and the other six
miles farther up the mountain, or
about three miles from the summit.
These two points of water sup
ply have been properly marked
with signs, and no trouble should
be experienced in making the trip,
Mr.. Douglas reports, as the road is
a marvel of highway construction,
wide enough for two cars to pass
safely at any point.
Many tourists and vacationlsts
are taking the drive since the open
ing of the road recently.

WINSLOW GIRL
SERIOUSLY HURT
In AUTO WRECK

Late reports yesterday from the
Gallup hospital on the condition of
Miss Daisy Metcalf, who was seri-
ously Injured in an automobile
wreck on the highway west of
Winslow Monday night where that
her condition is unchanged, and
that her life is still in danger.
Miss Metcalf's injuries are: both
legs broken, right hip fractured,
jawbone broken in three places, Sc
we're scalp wounds, and many bruis-
es. She received the injuries when
the car in which she was riding, a
Ford coupe, driven by Richard
Johnson, of the Santa Fe electrical
department, collided with heavy
touring car driven by Gene Rede-
will, music dealer, COMPOSER and
violinist of Phoenix.
Johnson escaped practically unin-
jured except for minor cuts and
bruises, as did Theodore Kress, an
occupant of the car driven by Rede-
will. Marion Baker, Flagstaff pia-
no tuner, had practically all his
scalp torn away by flying glass.
while Redewill suffered cuts and
two broken ribs.
Both cars were badly damaged by
the collision, the light coupe being
almost completely demolished by
the impact. The accident occurred
on the highway at the junction of
the old Flagstaff road, and the in
jured were rushed to Winslow
where they were attened by Dr. J.
w. Bazell, DR.. G.. P. Sampson and
DR.. P. D. Sprankle. Mis- Metcalf
was sent to Gallup Tuesday morn
ing, and Baker was sent to San
Francisco hospital for examination
for possible fracture of the skull.
According to people who visited
the scene shortly after the accident,
Redewill was driving east and
collided head-on with the car driv-
en- by Johnson when the latter at
tempted to turn into the old high
way to the left The main highway
curves at that point, and it is
thought that the glare of the head
lights caused the driver of the
smaller car to miscalculate the po->
sition of the other car, and the
wreck was the result.

HAMMOND OUT OF
RACE FOR STATE
SENATOR'S OFFICE

The triangular situation sur
rounding the race for the Democra-
tic nomination for state senator
from this county was settled to
some extent when early this week
it was announced that George
Hammond, who had been advanced
as a candidate for, the nomination,
had withdrawn from the race, This
.lnarrows the race down to two
Democratic candidates, Robert L.
Moore, present senator, and G. w
Nelson.
Both are Winslow men, both are
Santa Fe employees, and both are
we'll known and have many friends
here. Nelson has the endorsement
of the B. of R. t., while Moore is
at least unofficially backed by the
B. of L. F. and E., of which he is
a member.
Local followers of politics are
watching this race, as they predict
it will be one of the most interest
ing in the primaries.

Finish Improving
Arcadia Hall; To-
Be Opened Soon

Completing of improvements be-
gun recently at Arcadia Hall, which
will probably be re-opened to the
public this week or the first of
next week, will give Winslow a
place of amusement equal to al
most any similar place in the state,
according to Sam Pritchard, Area
dia's owner.
The improvements will consist of
a new railing, rest-rooms, improved
seats, and decorations. Although
all the new features may not be in
stalled by the time the hall opens,
owing to the demand that the work
be rushed along, they will be on
hand in the near future, as will
further additions and improvements.
These will add greatly to the at
fractions of Arcadia Hall, which
already boasts many enviable fea-
lures, including the new-type ex-
tra-strong arched roof, the big
floor and the ventilation system.

COUNTY FINANCES
ARE EXPLAINED
TO ROTARIANS

The financial condition of Nava-
10 county, as we'll as a general re-
sumo of the method of operation OF
county government, with reference
to finances and taxes was explain
ed to Winslow Rotarians at the
regular Wednesday meeting by
Wallace Ellsworth, clerk of the
board of supervisors, of Holbrook,
who was the guest of tCal" Gallo
way, chairman Of the day.
The assessed valuation of Nava-
10 county this year is $36O,0OO less
than last year, Mr.. Ellsworth ex-
planned, due to reduction in four
items, namely sheep. and cattle,
amounting to nearly 100000, about
$50 900 in merchandise and approx
imately $4,000 reduction in the
Apache Railway company valuation
made by the Tax Commission.
Outstanding warrants against the
county amount to, at the present
time, approximately $4,000, ELS
worth said, this having been reduc-
ed from S130,000 by the bond issue
OF DOU,UUU Ill 1JGO, dOA'SAN
as of July 1, 1926, of about $50 600,
of which amount there is $4,000 in
defunct banks which will be repaid
in the main when the banks affairs
are settled.
It is due to the close watch on
expenditures and cut on the budget
during the past few years that the
county Indebtedness has been de-
creased, he said.
There has been considerable re-
duction in delinquent taxes during
the past year, Ellsworth said, some
$1,000 having been collected last
year, leaving "a total of approx
mately $143,000 in delinquent taxes
due now in the county, as Of July
| 1st.
Mr.. Ellsworth explained the var
ious tax rates and operation of the
various interest and bond redemp-
| ton funds.
! Sam Proctor gave an interesting
| discourse on the second object of
Rotary, touching On the high ethi-
cal standards Of Rotary, and this
subject was also commented on by
Homer Vaughn, who asked for
more cooperation among club
members.
Next week Will Hessell will be
chairman and he announced that
the program will be devoted to the
Back to School" movement and
each Rotarian will be required to
bring a boy to the meeting.

SPEEDERS, DRUNKS
.ANDCELEBRANTS
APPEAR in COURT

Chief among the charges against
law-breakers who have come in
contact with the Winslow law force
during August is the old standby of
pre-prohibition daysy "drunk and
disorderly," which is written oppo-
site the names of five who paid
fines to police magistrate C. o.
Nesting.
The five are Rafael Serabia,
Roy Richards, Juan Garcia, Ned
Trujillo and Jose Gomez, all of
whom paid $500 fines, except
Richards, who was assessed a neat
$4,000 for his misdemeanor
Using profane language and dis
turbing the peace brought Mike We
lerde to grief and to court, and
lessened his wealth by $1,000. John
Lee disturbed the peace to the ex-
tent of $1,000, in the judges esti-
nation, which the defendant paid.
Three speed fines of $500 each
were assessed by the court. Those
who sped and paid are Victor Can
delaria, Francis Leonard and San
tiago Fernando.
Four travelling youths were ar
rested on a charge of vagrancy,
but as they had only been in Wins

TWO KILLED WHEN
WORK TRAIN JUMPS
TRACK WEDNESDAY

TWO were killed and nine in
Jured when Santa Fe freight train
which was backing a string of cars
occupied by Santa Fe bridge gang
was derailed one mile east of Thor
eau and about so miles east of Gal
lup, New Mexico, at 1915 Wednes-
day morning. The dead are Con-
ductor ]. D. Tucker, and Mrs. J. w.
Hanson, wife of the bridge gang
foreman, and sister of Mrs. Shan
non Albright, of Winslow. Full re-
ports are not yet available, but it
is not thought that any of the in
jured will die.
The direct cause of the derail-
ment is not known, although the
finding of hand-car in the wreck
age has led to the theory that the
hand-car was stolen by tramps,
who deserted it and left it on the
track when they say the train ap-
preaching.
The names of the injured are be-
ing listed at the Gallup hospital
and surgeons say they will be
ready to give out the names and
extent of injuries soon.
The dead and injured were in a
rear car of the work train and all
except the conductor were asleep
when the train which was backing,
hit the handcar which had been
left ON the track The rear car was
derailed and about six of the other
13 cars were piled up on it. There
were about 100 workmen sleeping
in the cars, many of whom escaped
with only minor injuries.
There is a double track at the
scene of the wreck, but both tracks
were torn up and blocked by the
debris and train service is inter
rupted. Officers hoped to clear the
tracks in a short time.
Conductor Tucker worked out of
Winslow for some years, being en-
ployed in the passenger service on
this district, but has recently been
at work on the First District, be-
tween Gallup and Belen.
But for the brave action of
Brakeman C. F. Oelke, a member
of Conductor fuckers crew, an
other wreck, worse than the first,
might have been an aftermath of
the smash-up. Although shaken
and bruised, Oelke crawled several
car lengths to flag with flash
light, a freight train that was ap-
preaching on the east-bound main
line, according to reports.
The crew of the tagged train
found Oelke exhausted after he had
negotiated the necessary distance
on his hands and knees.

Local Man Drops
Dead In Harvey
House Lunchroom

Overcome by heart attack in
the Harvey House lunchroom, at
2:30 Wednesday morning, Ernest
Bogue, 33, Winslow trainman, died
almost instantly, in spite of medical
aid which was given him a few
minutes after his seizure by DR..
Oscar Brown, Santa F'e physician.
Bogue had just finished a light
meal, preparatory to reporting for
duty, and as he arose to go to the
cashiers desk, he collapsed.
An attempt was made to revive
him by Harvey House employees,
who were under the impression
that he had tainted, but when he
failed to respond to the treatment
DR.. Brown was notified and the un-
conscious man taken to the Santa
Fe hospital.
Almost half-hour was spent in
trying to awaken signs of life in
Bogue by hypodermics and by ap-
plying artificial respiration, both
by DR.. Brown and DR.. w. Bazell,
but Bogue was beyond medical
help.
According to DR.. Brown, Bogue
was examined about five years ago,
at which time DR.. Brown advised
him that he was suffering from
Bright's disease and defective
heart, and warned him to avoid toe
much physical effort. Again, about
six weeks ago, Bogue was exam
ined, and the Santa Fe physician
cautioned him that his heart might
fail at any time Bogue is said to
have replied that his affairs were
settled, and that he had been ex-

a dividend of Is percent of their

eording to a report phoned to Wins
low yesterday by Judge Sidney P.
Sapp, of Holbrook.
This dividend is the result of de-
cisions recently rendered in FEEDER
al District court at Prescott, in

the Bank of Winslow in the amount
of $27,000.00, and the case of e. Il.

as trustees, were assigned to the
l.defunct local institution In view
of these assignments, the case OF
the First National Bank of Albu-
querque, New Mexico, for $16,OOO.oO
was also assigned to the bank.

lin, Holbrook law firm which IS
representing the state banking de-
partment in the litigation, these as
signments mean that depositors
will receive the Is percent dividend
in short time.

restitution to date of 40 percent.

last fall was for 10 percent, and the
second, for Is percent, was made in
