surveyed by Stanley Sykes and E. c..
Mills, and built by Everett Myers,
assisted by crew of laborers.
The chief instrument taken UP is
a rejecting telescope of 10 feet fo-
cal length and Is inches aperture.
Only the essential parts of the
mountings for the instruments were
taken up the mountain, tree stumps
being untitled for the necessary
supports for the telescope.
The observers have a wonderful
view of the surrounding country
by day, and at night Of the lights
of Flagstaff, Winslow, Jerome, Will
liams and other towns. The trip
which is being made at all hours
of the day or night, takes about
an hour. 1t is an interesting fact
that night temperatures on the
summit are no colder than in Flag
staff at night, the coldest spot be-
tween there and town being be-
tween the boulevard and town. Dur

NEW JUDGE TAKES
BENCH In POLICE
COURT THIS WEEK

When WinsloW culprits are sum-
moned to appear before the Judge,
they need no longer cudgel their
brains as to whether they should
appear as guests of the city or OF
the county, at least not after Janu-
airy 1st, for j. B. Drumm, who was
elected justice Of the peace in the
general election, was appointed
magistrate Of the police court by
the city council Wednesday.
This action followed the reading
of the designations OF c. o. Nest
ing, present magistrate, and Harry
C. Kabelin, city accountant. No
nominee for Kabelin's vacated post
has yet been named.
Since Mr.. Drumm will take office
on the first of the year as justice
of the peace, to handle all county
cases, and since he will start in the
police court Immediately, all Of
tenders hailed into any court in the
city will face the same judge.
Both Mr.. Kabelin and Mr.. Nest
ing stated that their duties with
the railroad companies called for
their full time, and that they were
forced to relinquish their positions
with the city on that account

Indian Miller, a Bride

Mr.. and Mrs. Harry e. (Indian)
Miller Of Canyon Lodge, announce
that their daughter, Umaybesan,
was married in Venice, California,
on October 16, to Orville B. Jones,
of Grants Pass, Oregon, who had
spent most of the past year at the
Pine hotel at Flagstaff.
The bride and groom are honey
incoming at points along the Pacific
coast.
1t will not surprise the many To-
cal friends of the young people that
they are married, as that culmin-
atiCn Of the romance had been look
ed for to occur at almost any time
during the last several weeks. The
bride is an accomplished and at
tractive young woman, well educat
ed. While attending high school
a couple years ago, she won the
Pacific coast girls amateur swim
ming championship She also is a
talented solo dancer. Mr.. Jones is
an all-arOund lumber mill man.

The city council in answer to

no way liable for the performance
of the heaters, and disclaimed all
responsibility for the action of the

intended to dofin regard to service

Three new expenditures for the
city will bring two appliances to
the street department, and will re-
suit in the improvement of Second
street at the hill near the round
house. The street department will
be augmented by a new Fordson
tractor and a roller for city streets,
the latter to cost between $4,000
and $4,000.
With these new appliances, it is
stated that the city's streets can be
kept in much better condition than
at present.

Representative
OF Rating Bureau
Report To Council

After spending more than week
here in company with two assist
ants, G.. A. Withers, rating engineer
of the Arizona State Equitable Rat
ing office, made brief report to
the city council at their Wednes-
day night meeting before return
ing to his home office with his re-
port on local fire conditions.
Mr.. Withers' report and few
suggestions seemed to arouse the
ire of councilman ]. M. Edwards,
who furnished the high light of the
council meeting by offering heat
~ address on fire insurance agen-
.3es. agents and policies. This
fiery phiIlippic was worthy of the
recording pen of a famous writer,
for Mr.. Edwards impromptu speech
was complete in every detail, and
left no doubt in the minds of his
hearers as to his personal opinions
of insurance agents, underwriters
of any nature whatsoever.
Withers and his co-workers have
been making q survey Of every
home or building in Winslow with
an eye to adjustment of Insurance
rates. In his report he explained
that the new fire truck would be
good for reduction that would
probably be as much as per cent
of the gross rate for Winslow.
Since most of the homes in the
city enjoy a rate less than the
grocc tho reduction Will in some
cases probably be six, seven or
even eight per cent of the present
rate, according to the statement,
which was unofficial.
However, some homes or build
ings will not benefit at all. With
ers explained this by saying that
the hazards surrounding these
structures had been increased by
buildings that have been erected
The Winslow mail., 1926-11-05

since the first ratings were made.
In some cases, too, building own
ers have been enjoying rate to
which they were not entitled, and.
these rates will be adjusted by this
survey.
Among the details suggested by
Withers by which the protection
could be increased and fire insur-
ance rates lessened were full pay
fire chief and fire marshal, a sub
stitute driver for the truck, in
creased water supply and an inn
proved alarm system.
He explained that the duty of
fire chief was to prevent fires as
well as to put them out, and sug
gested that in case such a fire
chief should be appointed he should
not be ruled by any political party.
but should be hired and retained
on a basis or merit. The chiefs
powers, as outlined by Withers,
should be absolute in regard to fire
hazards and their abolishing, and
the chief should have power to en-

fire hazards.
The alarm system should be large
enough that the general alarm
could be heard all over Winslow
and the central sounding device,
whether bell or siren, should ac-
curateiy designate the place from
which the alarm was turned in, eX-
planned Withers. By this method
the fire department members could
| be called to the scene of the blaze,
and time saved over the present
method of notifying fire-fghters by
phones.
Stating that however good a
mans record of service might be,
it would still be possible that in
one day out of the year the driver
might find it impossible to be on
duty, and that fire might possibly
start at that time, Withers said
that a substitute driver should be
on duty at all times to take the
place of Chas. Lundin, the only full
time man on the force at present,
Withers showed with figures that

R0TARIANS ISSUE
REPORTS ON THEIR
EARLIER FINANCE

Material for a book on Thirty
Ways For Boys To Make Money" 3"
could have been compiled at the
Wednesday meeting of the Rotary
club, for the program, which was in
charge OF j., A. Greaves as chair
man of the day, consisted mainly
of short stories from the member
ship on how they made their first
money.
AS usual with an impromptu pro-
gram having a subject of interest
as it's foundation, the Interrogation
of the Rotarians on their early fl
nancial operations met with much
approval and drew forth many
amusing anecdotes of boyhood deal
ings of another generation.
Every method of gaining coin of
the realm was represented except
thievery and embezzlement, the fl
nancial coups ranging from hog
raising to plucking dandellon
green's.
The Father and Son program as
announced for this week under the
craftsmanship of e. H. Black was
misstated. This program will be
held next week, and an attempt to
promote a Fathers and Sons ban
quat will be made.
For the first time in weeks there
were no visitors or guests at the
meeting. Whether or not this is
due to the fact that the election is
over and votes all in, it would be
unfair to say, but the fact remains
that all out-of-town politicians were
conSpiciously absent.

''MAIL" RECEIVES
ELECTION RETURNS
FROM PRESS WIRE.

Offering the same service on the
general election as on the primar-
les, the Winslow Mail was able
again to serve the public with ele-
ction news sooner than any other
agency. Although radio broadcast
ing stations served many listen
ers-in, their data was mostly taken
from contests out of state, and the
more interesting state and county
results were given out from the
Mail office to a large crowd that
refused to go home before 400 A.
M.
With a direct Associated Press
wire in the new plant of the Mail,
the state results, as well as those
from New Mexico and points fur
ther east were coming in through
out the night, and with connect
ions to other county precincts and
Apache county, those who sought
news of the election were well
served.
Volunteers augmented the Mall
force in taking returns and the
many close county contests kept
the excitement running high.
Early Wednesday morning a spe-
cial election edition of the Mail was
on the streets, carrying reports of
the elections trend in Arizona, and
giving returns from all but three
precincts in the county complete.
Precinct Number 2, WinSloW, was
not completed until 500 a. M, and
only incomplete totals from this
precinct were given.
On Tuesday another extra was
issued, this concerning the social
ed "slush-fund" hearing in Phoenix
which resulted from last minu:e
charges brought by U. S. Senator
Ralph Cameron apparently III a
vain attempt to discredit Carl Hay
den, whose sweeping victory was
a brilliant feature of the election.

FIRE in BUSINESS
SUNDAY
DESTROYS 3 STORES

Starting early Sunday morning
in the building occupied by the City
Electric Shoe Shop, the Winslow
JeWelry company and cafe, a fire
of unknown origin destroyed the
fixtures and stock of all three es-
Establishments. This is the only
serious fire here in some time, and
the first Of any proportions since
the city acquired the new fire truck.
The new truck gave a demon
stratiOn of the protection it offers
Winslow business men and home
owners, for it efficient work i'm
mediately quelled the blaze on Kin
sley and prevented spreading of the
flames. With the old fire truck and
its low pressure stream, this would
have been practically impossible.
The fire was discovered about
A:30 A. M. Sunday, and drew a
crowd of Halloween revelers who
had evidently forgotten the way
home. Under the direction of Fire
Chief George Jackson the fire was
completely out in less than an hour,
although the thick smoke made
fire-fighting difficult.
Using cutoff nozzles. the fire
department did their work within a
minimum of water damage, and
chemicals were called into play to
put out the few remaining sparks
and embCrs.

WINSLOW'S VOTE
WAS HEAVIEST In
SEVERAL YEARS

A total of 1874 ballots out of a
possible 1899 registered in Winslow
were cast at the general election
held last Tuesday, breaking a rec
ord for heavy voting in Winslow
covering period Of several years.
Due to the contests on the gov
ernorship, the senatorship as well
as for several county offices, all
candidates and members of both
political parties were active all day
Tuesday in the effort of get. out
the vote" Winslow, no doubt will
compare favorably with any other
precinct in the state on this score
as her batting average for vote
cast was almost 70 per cent.
The vote in each of the five pre-
cincts here was Winslow No. 1,
202 votes; No. 2, 1872; No. 8, 285; +;

MANILA WASH
BRIDGE NOW OPEN
TO AUTO TRAFFIC

Following a period Of nearly a
year in which detour has been
necessary at Manila Wash, the
bridge built by the state highway
department at that point, and which
has been under construction for
several months was opened to traf-
fic last Saturday, according to an
nOuncement of ID. r. Bundy, residen5
engineer of the department at the
same time it was announced that
the two dips between Manila and
Cottonwood washes have been paw
ed eliminating the mud and water
that has been standing in them
since the rains.
Mr. Bundy also said that work On
project No. 81, between Canyon Di-
ablo and Canyon Padre was com
pleted this week, making the road
from here to the paving project
east of Flagstaff in first class shape.

PREDICT TOURIST
SEASON WILL OPEN
EARLIER NEXT YEAR

From east and west authentic re-
ports are coming in to WinsloW OF
longer tourist season in 1926
than ever before, with possibly an
earlier opening in 1927. Chas. P.
Mason, former editor of the Mail,
and now located in Gallup as sec
retary of the Inter-Tribal Cerem0n-
ial assosiation, and Joe Secakuku,
proprietor of a tourist resort. and
curio shop at Canyon Diablo, both
stated this week that tourist travel
is still heavy, and that it will prob
ably continue until December.
Tourists are learning that the
National Old Trails is a genuine all
year route, these men state, and the
time is not far distant when there
will be no appreciable lessening of
fivver. tourists at any time during
the year.
There was time when the red
eyed reports of snoWchOked passes
four months out of the year were
given credence by trusting public,
but dependable publicity from un-
questionable sources has killed that
idea completely.
With the tourist season opening
earlier next year, tin-cannerS will
begin drifting through in regular
caravans as early as March 1st, it
is predicted More hardy ones who
have proved for themselves that the
Old Trails is constantly open are
spreading the wcrd along, and bug
bears of snOwbound motoring pay
ties in Northern Arizona exist no
longer.

Two resolutions of interest and
Importance, to all residents OF
Winslow were adopted unanimous
ly by the city council Wednesday
evening, in a meeting which had
been recessed from the night before.
on account of the election. The
first was resolution to the Cor.
poration Commission, asking for q
survey of the condition of the Ari-
iona Electric Power company for
the purpose of still further decreas
ing the light and power rates here,
and the second was for the purpose
of opening Second street to the
highway on the east.
The city had taken no action in
the matter OF the light rates after
it had been assured that a decrease
would be obtained, but since the
lower rates were. still too high in
the opinion Of the council, the res
olution to the commission was pas
sed If this resolution is approved
by the commission, the body will
make their own investigation to as
certain whether or not the light
and power organization are receiv-
ing more than a fair return on their
investment. If their investigation
discloses the situation which the
council asserts is existing, rates
will be still further lowered, the
council believes. Otherwise, the
same new rate will Nemain in eff
feet.
The matter Of opening Second
street has been agitated for some
time by interested parties, who have
offered to help stand the expense
OF making the opening. The sur
vey for the continuance of the
thoroughfare has been made, and
is part of the body Of the reso-
luton.
Now that the resolution has been
adopted, it will be necessary to OBJ
tain an easement for the street
from property owners whose land
is inteTsected. The resolution pro-
vides that in case such an ease
ment is not granted, condemnation
will be next on the docket.
A notice from the American-La
France company and the presence
in the city treasury of sufficient
funds to meet the note which is now
due on the fire truck, resulted in
the council authorizing a check to
be drawn covering this item Of. ST.

due until next November.

but no accountant was selected to

Circumstance had dehorned his di-
lemma as guardian very neatly, he
thought. He saw more of Celia, too,
now that Maudie had gone, and be-
came almost as fond Of her as Laura
was.
Things went on in this satisfactory
fashion for another year.
Then the unexpected happened.
Laura died suddenly one morning
of a lesion in the brain while her maid
was brushing out her blond curls that

them.
Hilary's grief over her death, alb
sorbed him almost entirely for the first
weeks afterward. He had never Inn
agined, somehow, that Laura would
die before he did. He had never real
lied, therefore. how he would miss her;
what a lonely forsaken feeling her
loss would give him. .

what she had once said to him:
Suppose 1 should die while she is
still a young girl? What would you
do then I'd like to know"
1t was as if the poor darling had ha d
some prescience Of her sudden death,
Yes what was he to do, he
should like to know. He couldn't ask
Mrs Hilton to stay on indefinitely
with Celia. And even II she
were willing to do so, he wouldn't be
willing to have her remain as Celia 5
chaperon. The old lady had had Il
lurid career. and, while there had
never been an open scandal about her,
people knew her history. She was
very poor now, and lived about from
