following his visit to the Coronado
Trail celebration last week.
This was Mr.. Hankins' first visit
to Northern Arizona and he said
while here that he was more than
surprised to find not only many
points of scenic wonder, but that
the roads in Northern Arizona are
far better than he had anticipated.
Hankins, who is now serving his
second term as county treasurer of
Cochise county, was formerly clerk
of the board of supervisors of that
large county, and prior to that he
was postmaster of Douglas for five
years under the administration of
Woodrow Wilson. He has been a
resident of the state for over 25
years, mostly spent in Cochise
county, and is an example of a self
made man. So far he has no op-
position on the Democratic ticket
for state treasurer and it is freely
predicted that he will have none
He declared here this week that in
spite of this he wishes to meet as
many of the democratic voters as
possible.
Mr.. Hankins was accompanied by
his wife and daughters and they
will visit the Grand Canyon, the '49
celebration in Flagstaff and the
Frontier Day celebration in Pres
colt before returning to Cochise
county.

Holbrook Field
Claimed Proved
By Adamana Well

Officers of the Adamana Oil Co.,
through their secretary, G. E.
Teeples, announced Thursday that
the showing of oil at the Adamana
well this week has definitely and
absolutely proved the Holbrook
field. This information was given
out after quantities of oil of high
gravity had been brought to the
surface by the bailer, following
series of tests.
Teeples stated over long distance
telephone yesterday afternoon that
outburstS of gas and oil from the
well are becoming more frequent,
that the outbursts are stronger
each time, and that the oil is of
higher gravity and lighter in color.
The latest samples to be tested
showed a gravity of SO degrees
Baume.
The new hole, which is being
drilled at the side of the abandoned
casing, has now progressed for
several hundred feet, and the drill
has passed into a looser formation
after being slowed down consider
ably by hard rock, Mr.. Teeples
said. The drill is at present at the
top of the oil sands, according to
the report, and will not be sent a
great deal deeper, following which
steps will be taken to cement off
the water in an effort to bring in
a producer, thoroughly proving the
field.

Over 5000 People
Attend Opening Of
Coronado Trail

Over 5000 people from every
county and city in Arizona and rep
resenting all but three of the states
of the Union, attended the dedica-
ton of the Coronado Trail from
Clifton to Springerville last Satur-
day and Sunday, when the trail was
officially opened to the travelling
public making accessible one of ma
ture's most wonderful forest play
grounds in America
With preparations made by road
boosters in Greenlee and Apache
counties to care for about 1000
people, the crowd which attended
in over 1900 automobiles exceeded
by far the fondest expectations of
everyone connected with the pro-
motion of the opening of the forest
highway.
AS early as Thursday morning
autos laden with people from in
and out of the state began to trek
into the reserve over the trail and
by Saturday afternoon the entire
grounds and Hannigan's meadows.
covering several hundred acres,
was crowded with campers who
came prepared to stay throughout
the celebration.
The program began with serving
of the big barbecue at noon Satur-
day and although preparations had
only been made for 1000, there was
not hungry person on the
grounds. The barbecue, financed
by the boosters from both counties
was one of the most complete af-
fairs of the kind ever staged in
Arizona, everything from ''soup to
nuts" having been furnished the
visitors.
Following the barbecue the dedi-
cation ceremonies were held at
which Governor Hunt made the
dedication address.
An address of welcome had pre-
viously been made by Capt. j. P.
Hodgson, of the Phelps-Dodge cor
poration at Clifton.
Mayor Peter Riley, of Clifton,
was in charge of the dedication
ceremonies which lasted for sever
al hours. ]. D. Jones, assistant
district forester, delivered an ad-
dress on the United States Forests
and delivered an official welcome
to the use of the splendid highway
on behalf of the forest service.
Other speakers on the program
were c. G. Morrison, district engi-
neer with the United States Bu-
reau of public roads, w. c. Lefe-

QUICK FOOTWORK
SAVES TWO LIVES
WHEN WALL FALLS

Work of demolishing the r. H.
Trimble home, which will be re-
placed by the new Trimble build
ing, very nearly resulted in two
deaths Wednesday morning when a
section of wall, in falling, narrow
ly missed Mr.. Trimble and his
brother-tn-law, r. X. Reed, who are
tearing down tie structure.
By Wednesday all wrecking hal
been completed except the telling
of the brick walls, and the front
section had been titled to an ex-
treme angle by means of a jack
placed inside the building Trimble
and Reed were inside, away from
the angle of the wall, exerting
pressure on the section to force it
to fall towards Second Street when
the jack slipped from its place,
sending the wall in. Only quick
footwork saved the two men from
being buried beneath the falling
bricks.
Later in the day Trimble was
saved from almost certain death in
a similar accident. On another sec
ton of the wall the jack slipped
again, and in making his getaway
Trimble slipped and fell, but the
wall, instead of falling, returned
to it's original vertical position.

Good Roads Assn.
Meet In Flagstaff
July 25th and 18th

One of the most important con-
ventlOns to be held in Northern
Arizona this year will take place
in Flagstaff Friday and Saturday
when the Arizona Good Roads AS
sociation meets there. This meet
ing will draw delegates from all
over the state, and important i'm
provements to the state highways
and methods of accomplishment
will be discussed.
Each county and each commun-
ity is allowed five votes at the con-
vention, and the Winslow CONNER
cial Club is sending it's quota to
the meeting.
The most important matter
scheduled to come before the con-
vention will be the initiative meas
ure pertaining to a state appropri-
alton for the highways. The asso-
citation stands squarely behind this
measure, and ways and means for
it's support will be taken up at
Flagstaff this week.
Under the Federal Aid bill, Ari-
zona can still obtain sum approx
mating $4,000, 100000, provided the
state will put up one half this
amount to match it. The last leg
islature failed to appropriate any
funds for roads, and the measure.
which will go on the ballot in the
coming election, leaves the matter
of a bond issue up to the people.
Explanation of the measure re-
veals that the bonds will be funded
by various means, chiefly the truck
tax, motor vehicle tax, and gas tax,
and no taxes will be raised to
amortize the bonds. With the mon
ey so obtained, inestimable good
can be done for Arizona in regard
to state highways, and the state
will receive the Federal Aid funds,
which would otherwise be lost.

Double Drowning
Narrowly Averted
At Clear Creek

For the second time this year
Tom Hubbard, keeper of the con-
cession store at Clear Greek, prov
ed himself a life saver, this time
by staging a double rescue Friday
night. George Crosby and youth
named Marble were taken from
the water by Hubbard when both
were in semi-conscious state
from the effects of their INNER
sion.
Life saving is becoming an ex-
pensive habit for Hubbard. Snatch
ing a drowning person from the
water is supposed to be attended
by medals, rewards, etc, but all
Hubbard has to show for his two
efforts is watch spoiled by the
water.
According to witnesses of the
rescue Friday night, Crosby and
Marble started to swim across the
creek. Becoming tired, Marble be-
came frightened and sank, and
when Crosby went to his assistance
clutched him so tightly that both
sank.
Hubbard showed off a boat to go
to the aid of the two, and when he
reached the spot where the men
had disappeared from sight Crosby,
who had reached the surface, up
set the craft by his efforts to draw
himself aboard. After some effort,
Hubbard was able to assist Crosby
to get on the upturned bottom of
the boat, and push the boat to
shore.
By this time other swimmers had
raised Marble to the surface, and
kept his head above water by
standing on submerged rock.
Making a second trip in the boat,
Hubbard brought Marble to shore.
Both men were exhausted by
their near drowning. Marble re-
covered quickly, but first aid meth
DDS had to be used to bring Crosby
to complete consciousness. Marble
and Crosby are employed by cafe
near the roundhouse.

of the candidacy of Mr. La Prade,
the Bisbee Daily Review says:
arthur T. La Prade, who made
a statewide reputation for himself
by his successful prosecution of P.
K. Lewis, president of the defunct
Central Bank of Phoenix, was in
Bisbee yesterday in the interests of
his candidacy for attorney general
of Arizona, which office he seeks
on the Democratic ticket. Prob
ably no candidate for any state Of
flee is better qualified for the Of
flee being sought than La Prade,
who, as present county attorney of
Maricopa and previous to the pres
ent administration its deputy coun-
ty attorney. has made an enviable
record as prosecutor, in addition to
his successful efforts to convict p.
K. Lewis, La Prade also brought
about the conviction of William
Lawrence, Oklahoma "bad man" I"
Several other criminals have been
brought to justice by his vigorous
prosecution, demonstrating his
ability to match wits with the
ablest lawyers in the southwest.
LA Prade was born and reared
in Arizona and educated in her
public schools. He received the
degrees, bachelor of arts and doc
tor of Jurisprudence from the Uni
versity of California at Berkeley.
The attorney has demonstrated
his fitness for public office by an
aggressive attention to public bus
mess. He was assistant county
attorney of Maricopa county for
two years, now being county attor-
nev there "

Ed Hughes Out
For Reelection
Tax Commissioner

E. A. (Ed) Hughes, present mem
Der of the Arizona State Tax Com
mission, announces through the
columns of The Mail this week, his
candidacy for reelection to the
commission, fuller account of
which appeared in these columns
in last weeks issue.
Mr.. Hughes is now finishing his
sixth year as member of the COM
mission, on which he has served
with distinction. Mr.. Hughes, prior
to his election by a big majority to
the commission, served as tax as
SCISSOR of Cochise county, the larg-
est county in the state, where he
became known as one of the most
expert tax officials in the state,
with which ability he has added
a valuable asset to the state COM
mission.
Mr.. Hughes is one of the widest
known officials in the state due to
the fact that his duties take him to
every county in the state during
the year. He plans to visit every
county and precinct if possible be-
fore election and will no doubt be
in Winslow before the primaries to
meet the voters here.
Mr.. Hughes has especially won
distinction in the handling of mine
taxation matters for the best inter
ests of the people and smaller tax
payers, and promises to continue
his program to the best of the peo-
ple's interests if reelected. He is
a native son of Arizona.

OHara Home Razed
By Fire; Two Other
Buildings Damaged

Fire which broke out about nine
o'clock Wednesday evening in the
kitchen of the Bill O'Hara home on
West Second Street, completely,
destroyed that building, badly
scorched the house west of it, and
damaged the Episcopal church to
the extent of thousand dollars,
at least, before the blaze was
brought under control.
Luckily only a very slight breeze
was blowing, for the water pres
sure was insufficient to send the
stream from the fire hoses to the
top of the house, and if the fire
had spread, the fire fighting equip
ment would have been totally in
adequate to control it.
This fire, the first serious blaze
in some months, amply demonstrate
ed the need of Winslow for modern
fire equipment. With modern en-
gine, developing high water pres
sure through self-cOntained pump
engine, the fire department could
have quelled the fire before it had
endangered the adjacent structures.
AS it was, the O'Hara home was
beyond saving, and the roof of the
church had caught fire before suf-
ficient pressure had been put into
the mains from the Santa Fe high
pressure pumps to lift the water as
high as the church roof
The origin of the fire has not yet
been determined. According to
Mr.. O'Hara, he was sitting on the
porch of his home when his chill
dren ran from the house and told
him it was on fire. Mrs. O'Hara
had gone to California the day be-
fore the fire.
BY the time the fire department
had arrived, the whole of the back
part of the house was on fire, and
the flames were beginning to

PIONEER |SRUN
DOWNbY AUTO

Struck down in Holbrook at 900
P. M, Tuesday, by an automobile
as he left the home of Paul Geary,
his partner in the practice OF law,
Fred Nelson, pioneer OF Northern
Arizona and Wlnslow, succumbed
to his injuries at 12:15 Thursday
morning, in spite of medical aid.
Elmer Flanagan, driver OF the car
which killed Nelson, is an amateur
race driver. He was released pend
ing the report of a coroner's jury.
According to Mr.. Geary, Mr.. Mel
son was leaving the Geary home
about $3.50 to go to his old quar-
1ers, and while ne was crossing the
Santa Fe tracks the car driven by
Flanagan struck him. He was im-
mediately rushed to the home OF
MIR. Geary, and a doctor summon
ed, but the shock, coupled with the
weakness of his odvanced age, was
too much for medical knowledge to
combat.
Mr.. Nelson has resided in the
state for over forty years. He was
born in 1857, and came to Arizona
when about thirty years OF age, ell
gaging in law practice. he Was
also at one time connected with
the old Bank OF Winslow mere.
Winslow Lodge, B. p. Y. hlks,
owes it's life in part to the Work OF
Mr.. Nelson, who was charter
member and an organizer of the
local lodge. He was also past ex-
alted ruler of 536.
The body was brought to Wins
low to be prepared for burial here,
which will probably be under the
auspices of the local Elks lodge.
Nelson's surviving relatives have
been notified of his death, and will
arrive in time for the funeral Sat
nrday. Mrs. Nelson is buried In the
