Winslow Receives
German Machine
Gun From Governor

Due to prompt action on the part
of the Commercial Club and back
ing by c. G. Payne, chairman of
the Navajo County Board of Super
visOrs, and the local post of the
American Legion, Winslow last
week was made the recipient of
German machine gun, presented to
Navajo county by Gov. Geo. w. P.
Hunt. The gun will be mounted
temporarily in the City Hall, and is
intended to form a nucleus for
small museum Of war relics to be
gathered by the Commercial Club
and the Legion and later present
ed to the city.
AS soon as it was learned that
the governor had a supply of ma
chine guns to be given to each
county the Commercial Club wrote
to the state house, requesting that
the governor give Winslow the
consideration due it as the city of
largest population and the financial
center of Navajo county. The Le-
giOn post and Payne followed this
letter with other apepals, and the
result was that the gun arrived
here Saturday morning, the Gov
ernor presenting it to the city Sat-
urday night.
The War Department at Wash
ington is making shipment of these
guns and larger pieces of arma-
ment captured in the World War to
all states, to serve as mementoes
of the conflict.

HAYDEN-IS
ENDORSED
BY UNIONS

The divisions and lodges of the
transportation brotherhoOds in Ar
iona have received circular let
ter from the four vice presidents
of the big Four" who are assign
ed to the positions of national leg
islative representatives for their re-
spective organizations at Washing
ton, D. c., and who keep a vigi-
liant eye on all legislation affecting
their members in which Carl Hay
den is strongly endorsed in un-
measured terms as the candidate
for the senate from Arizona, and
all union men are urged to vote
and have their families and friends
vote for Mr.. Hayden, who under
the tabuIation kept by organized
labor, is rated as 100 per cent on
all matters affecting labor or in
which labor is interested from the
viewpoint of a good citizen.
In all probability there will be
introduced at the next session OF
congress a national car limit law
which is the only logical solution
of the troublesome question, as
Arizona is marooned at present be-
tween two states having practical
ly no limit as to the number OF
cars in freight or passenger trains.
At Yuma, trains of 130 cars are
of frequent occurrence coming in
from California and this same
train will make two trains under
the Arizona law, or nearly so, our
law permitting freight trains OF 70

It Is in no way suited to high school purposes. It is entirely eross-hghted, its foundation Is unsafe and two of the class rooms are nothing but attic "eubby- holes" (You are invited to visit the schools and look the buildings over) There Is only one recita- tion room at the high school large enough to accommodate, with comfort, the largest classes even of the present year. The consequence of close quarters is drowsiness and hstlessness, which would be entirely eliminated in force ventilated rooms Of adequate size. Under present conditions the efficiency Is bound to be low in spite of the fact that you have the very best trained teachers proeurable. The class rooms pro- 1ided temporarily to meet the needs of the present year, with the understanding that a new building was to be provided, are too small for the larger classes which will enter next fall. The high school now requires to be heated by five stoves, any two of which consume enough coal to more than heat an equivalent space from a central heating plant The toilets provided at the high school are of the unsanitary type and are well on their way to com plete decay, the shingles con- pletely gone from the roof in places. They cannot be used an- other year and replacement with anything that would pass must CT" by health board would pro- bably cost not less than a thous- and dollars.
 What will the community do about its school problem! Do you favor a continuation of the patching process?

WRANGELL CONFRONTED WITH A
 SCHOOL BUILDING PROBLEM

The increase in enrolment in Wrangells schools has been more than twenty per cent during the present school year. Every room In the Elementary school is filled to capacity. Two of the teachers are already carrying an overload of from six to eight pupils. The lighting ill all but one of the rooms Is unsatisfactory, causing cross lighting, and eye strain. Ventilation IS impossible except at the cost of a great deal of un- necessary wasted heat.
 It a new building is not proVid ed for the entlre school 1t will Dc necessary to construct another temporary structure to accommo- date the overflow, similar to the one constructed last year on the high school grounds. The manual training room Is too small to ae- eommodate class of the size de- handing the work and it has been found necessary to restrict the work to the seventh and eighth grades only. Even then 1t has been necessary to divide the class and consume twice the teachers time that should be re- quired were the accommodations adequate. With a class almost twice as large coming in next year, if the work is to be again offered in the eramped quarters it will mean that four times as much of the teachers time will have to be assigned to the work that could be given in a single period under favorable housing conditions. The teachers salary is the big item in school expense.
 The high school building was built by the government twenty years ago to serve as a one room school for the work of the elemen- tary grades for the native children.

WrangeIl'S New
 Municipal Float
Will Accommodate Three Hundred Boats and Will Meet an Urgent Need of Fishermen of South
 eastern Alaska
Alaska WeeklY


 INTANGIBLE, Alaska-A new municipal float to meet the needs of the fishermen of Southeastern Alaska is now under construction at Wrangell It comes as a re- suit of the fine cooperation and consistent begging of the mem bers of the Wrangell Commercial Club. and is being financed by the City of Wrangell. It will be five hundred feet long and ten feet wide. in addition to the approach which is one hundred feet in length and the same width as the float and will be able to accom- 2odate the craft of lighter draft. It will offer safe winter quarter age for approximately 300 fishing crafts.
 Nearly three months was spent in securing the boom of giant eighty foot logs that make up the principal floating timbers and the piling to accompany them The work of driving the piles is pro gressing rapidly and it is expect ed that within a reasonably short time all of the work will be com p1eted.
 A new road around the head of the bay has been surveyed and will be constructed as rapidly as pos sible after the other work is com pleted It will offer direct access to the new Union Oil Company's dock that is to be constructed across the narrow point.
 The new float is located at the most protected point behind the new breakwater which was com pIeted by the federal government less than a year ago. It will of fer the only really satisfactory wintering place for small craft in Southeastern Alaska. It's strategic location in the heart of the sal mon, halibut and shrimp fishing area should make a strong appeal to the men engaged in that work.

cANADA's NICKEL INDUSTRY

oTTAWA-Though nickel is not. like iron and copper, one of the worlds industrial metals, it occu- pies place of constantly inereas- ing importance and, in so far as Canada's metal production is con cerned, is second only to gold in the value of the annual output.
 Canada's nickel industry mad it's beginning in 1887, in the discovery that certain mineral deposits at Sudbury, in Ontario, that had been taken up and worked for copper al so contained nickel and were in re- ality great nickel deposits rather than copper deposits. Nickel was at this time, however, commercially speaking, a comparatively unknown metal for which there was no great demand-the worlds annual con sumption being only about 1000 short tons-so that the history is the record of an almost continuous uphill fight to find new uses and profitable market for the output. Indeed, competition in the nickel field has always been keen, and though numerous companies have from time to time been formed to engage in the industry in the Sud bury district the only survivors are the two large corporations, the h.
 ternational Nickel Company and the Mond Nickel Company. At the present time these two concerns ac- count for practically all of Cana das output Gin round figures some 35,000 short tons, valued at over $19,000,000 constituting over 80 pCi IChl. Ol IuH WOT1Q TeQu1r6- ments in 1924) except some small amounts recovered as by-products from the treatment of Cobalt silver ores. The record production of N46,- 900 short tons was made in 1918.
 Previous to the Washington con- ference probably more than 50 per cent. of this nickel went into armor plates for warships, but now the greater part of it finds it's way into peaceful industries where it is put to many and diverse uses which may be grouped under four or five general headings, viz: as a com ponent of many alloys, both ferrous and non-ferrous, of which the most important Is nickel steel; as a sur face coating for other metals; as chemical of catalytic reagent: and as pure malleable nickel for the manufacture of cooking utensils.

EMERGENCY FOOD SHELF

Now, I've adopted rule for my
self. and I'm living up TO it pretty
well. My emergency shelf is the real
thing. If l have to borrow from it
because I've forgotten to get something
in my regular supplies, down goes a
little note on my order list for the
grocer. And when it comes it goes to
the emergency shelf where it belongs.
You've no idea what relief it is
to feel that you have something in re-
serve. These days you can get all
kinds of foods in cans and bottles
things that will keep indefinitely and
take up little space, and they are just
what is needed 10 make up a lunch or
to round out dinner. They are use
full every day, of course, and that's
what makes it hard to keep up an
emergency shelf; but it's worth while
to do it. even if it does take some train
ing to get out Of the borrowing habit"
