The sentinel, The odore, tells us that if they do not get another spell they will have the next meeting Monday, May 29, and wishes to impress upon the minds of the prospective as well as the now enrolled mem bers of the necessity of a good attendance, till the order is well organized at least. W. H. Burbage left for Los An geles last Sutidajq where he will visit for a short time. THE WINSLOW MAIL Single Copies 10 Cents MOVING PICTURES ! OF GRAND CANYON; Three men in a boat, or rather | three men in three boats, will at tempt the unprecedented teat of navigating the quarrelsome wa terway of 1400 miles which ! stretches from the headquarters of the Green River in Wyoming' to Needles, Cal. E. C. Kolb of Bright Angel Trail, Grand Canyon, Arizona, arrived in Los Angeles yesterday to complete arrangements for | the trip, which will be made the first of September. Kolb, his brother, E. L. Kolb, and Reese Griffith of Fredonia, Arizona, will be the men who will attempt I the dangerous journey. To realize the desperate nature | of the venture it is necessary to i know that since Major J. W. Powell made the first trip down the Colorado in 1869, going through the Grand Canyon on an expedition of exploration for the Government, not more than two or three others of the scores who have ventured have sue ceeded, and most of those who made the attempt were claimed by the river. The Kolb brothers have been photographers i n the Grand Canyon for the past ten years and have explored it in quest of unusual pictures. Kolb discov ered one of the most beautiful falls of the canyon, a stream of water dropping 800 feet. This waterfall never appeared upon the government maps and was unknown until the photogra phers came upon it. Both brothers have had wild experiences with the river and they know much of its dangers and how to overcome them. It for that reason that they hope their journey will be successful. “We intend to give to the world moving pictures of its most dangerous water passage,” said Kolb yesterday. “I have never been in the mov ing picture business and our work at the canyon has been confined to art pictures, but we plan to get good motion pictures of this trip and show the people of the country the dangers of the Colorado—dangers they might never see in any other way. Our moving picture apparatus is be ing prepared in New York, and our boats are being made there “We expect to start September 1. Each man will have a sepa rate boat. lam having a steel boat made for myself. Long study of the river’s whirlpools and rapids has taught me to avoid the use of a keeled boat We will have boats that turn up at both ends with an adjustable snag keel for use in smoot h wat ers. In taking pictures in dan gerous waters, I expect to get through first and then take pic tures of the others coming | through. “The trip will require about; three months for completion.! Our route takes us through the Grand Canyon and we will be in the canyon for 217 miles, 90 miles of which will be through the granite gorge, where the walls are perpendicular. There are 500 rapids in the Grand Can yon. ; “One of the chief dangers of our trip will be the character of the water. The Colorado is so full of sand that a man can not j swim in it for any length of time. The length of our trip and the • waters to be traversed include a I route that to my knowledge has never been traversed.” Winslow--The Metropolis of Northern Arizona WINSLOW, NAVAJO COUNTY, ARIZONA, MAY 27, 191 A Colonels’s Version COL. I. M. DUNN, the secretary of the Danville, Ky., fair is thoroughly convinced of the value of country] newspaper advertising. lie ad vertised the fair this year in no other way; cut all post ers, bills and other ways which cost much but give lit tle results and confined himself exclusively to the news papers. The result, Colonel Dunn says, is that the Danville fair made money this year, the first time in many years. He says he will use nothing but the country press in the future and advises others seeking profitable advertising to do likewise. Take the Colonel’s advice and get busy with your local paper and it will do as much for the congested condition that exists on your shelves and the empti ness that you notice in the cash box, as it did for the county fair. FOREST SERVICE FIRE ALARM; The preliminary experiments conducted on the Williamson ranch near Glorieta by the rco resentatives of the forest service and E. H. Starkwater,Jr., of the Western Electric company, have so far proven very satisfactory. The first test was made on Fri day between the headquarters of the Williamson ranch and the office of Supervisor Thomas R. Stewart on the Panchuela, thir ty miles away. The Williamson ranch is so situated that it is surrounded on three sides by the Pecos Na tional forest, and the ranch is at the foot of the Glorieta moun tain, thus affording an excellent location for the conduct of exper imcnt= of this nature. Some of the results were quite remarka ble. For instance during the trials a mixed line was used. That is, telephone, barb and other wires, and ground rods were made out ofarmy bayonets, pocket knives, signal service corps ground rods and various other ingenious expedients. The instrument used at the end of the line at the Williamson ranch was a combination fire camp and portable telephone. George P. Williamson, mana ger of the ranch, assisted in the initial experiment, and is lending every courtesy and assistance in his power for the successful fur therance of the experiments. The work with the heliograph, which was inaugurated in the office of Supervisor Mattoon of the Manzano national forest has been temporarily discontinued in order that the outcome of the electrical experiments on the Pe cos forests shall be first deter mined. —Journal. The Winslow Junior ball team has started out to make a better record than did the league team. Their start being on the Hoi j brook boys last Sunday after- j noon when they handed it to j that team in as nice a manner as| did Williams to the Leaguers. A j large crowd gathered to witness j the battle and went away w.ell; satisfied that they had seen as i good u game as they had expect ed, one that was clean from start to finish and filled with good plays. The day was ideal for! baseball and the boys were in j fine trim. The Holbrook boys put up a good game but were simply outclassed and went down to defeat with a score of ten to lour. Just received a car of choice, fat Phoenix Beef at the City Meat Market. \ OVER 5,000 WEEKLY READERS UNIVERSITY CLUBS ENTERTAIN Probably one of the most sat isfactory and well rendered en tertainment ever given in Wins low was that rendered at the Winslow Opera House last Mon day evening by the California Glee and Mandolin Clubs of the University of California. This was the second appearance of the Club under the auspices of the Santa Fe, they having ap peared here about a year ago in almost the same popularity that they enjoyed on this appearance. The house was filled to its capa city and standing room was at a premium. Quiet reigned through out the entire performance with the exception of one or two out bursts from an infant too small to enjoy the treat or realize the need for quiet. If it were only possible to bar such fakes as frequently blow in, and have people of this class in each and : every show that comes to Wins- I low we probably would not have J uotieed so much the perfection of 'each feature oftheentertainment but when you consider the differ ence in these people and the “Comedy Companies” that have appeared here of late we feel that there is more due the Clubs than is usually given them. The program was one well se lected and as well rendered, ev ery number bringing out some surprise and adding new interest, and the only disappointment was as the curtain dropped for the last time, and we awoke to find that the time had passed too fast and we were left only to en joy the entertainment over again in reflection. Owing to an increase of busi ness necessitating more room for tlie busy workmen, the White Palace Bakery was a scene of chaos the greater part of this week. Having completely re modeled and enlarged their kit chen, gving the place a new coat of paint anil plaster which makes the institution quite met ropolitan in appearance as well as in the product. If a few of the eating houses and other places around town where foodstuff is kept would follow in the wake of the White Palace in the wav j of a general clean up and repair ing of screen doors and windows thus barring the much dreaded house lly that one hates to see near the barn, to say nothing of a dinner table, and tack on 2<> per cent more to the price for the trouble, we believe they would receive the glad hand of the pat rons lor their act. Attorney Jones of Flagstaff was in the city Monday. Single Copies 10 Cents SCHOOL FUND IS INCREASED The apportionment of the Ter- J ritorial School Fund for the var ious counties of the Territory has been made and shows a de cided increase over past years Below is given the school census and the appropriation to the va rious counties. Navajo county, 1.295 children, i j $lO4-2.50. Apache county, BSS children, j $1332 00. Coconino county, 80,5 children, $1207.30. From the above it will be seen that Navajo county leads by a considerable number of children of school age of any of the sur rundiug counties. Last Saturday evening the eit j izens of Winslow were entertain ed for a few minutes on the cor ner of Kingsley and Railroad avenues by one of those able or ators that occasionally drop in town on the quiet and depart in the same man tit r. The orator had evidently spent much time in study on his chosen subject from the enthusiasm that he injected into his speech. His main plea seemed to be to have our worthy citizens throw off the robes of civilization and “beat it” back to the primitive when all ram bled over the face of God’s green earth, free from the cares that education has brought to bear upon us. But despite the volley of argument hurled forth it seems that the listeners went away content to let the past be forgotten and to battle on with the cares of the progressive age, for we have failed to find any of them roaming over the prairie as did the savage in the days gone by. Work on the new building be ing erected by J. E. Campbell and Geo. Hubert to be used as a pool and billiard hall,is progres j sing rapidly and the structure al- j ready assumes the stately ap-1 pearance of the modern building i it is destined to be. A few more j such buildings will bring the | progressiveness of our citizens to ! the attention of the transient! and will undoubtedly hasten the ; rapid growth already notice- j able. i A new wall ease for the pur pose of displaying goods and en hancing the appearance of the store that would do credit to any city, apothecary shop, Was set in place along the north wall of the Palace Drug Company’s' store this week. The new fixture is of mission design and a work of art in every particular. One feature that adds interest is, the fact that it is a home produe' and was built in tlie good old way, not with a complete lean ing mill, but with hand tools en tirely, and is* a piece «>l work that any cabinet maker in a j modern mill could be justly j proud of. The ease is the pro duct of Mr. Heymer, the jovial j neighbor of the “print shop” j force. Shipments of uie.‘, fresh berries received daily at the City Mar-j ket. s j Some tim * last week John Sutherland fell from a scaffold while working on a cottage la\ r - ! itig brick and broke his arm. He left this week for the mountains to stay lor a ill mill or s£> and expects by that time to be able to come back to Winslow and j continue his work. City Official r -Papee— MUST VOTE ! ON RECALL Washington. May 23.—The joint resolution admitting Ari zona and .Vw Mexico to im mediate statehood, but with holding approval of the consti tutions of both until the people have voted oil proposed amend ments. passed the house of rep resentatives this afternoon In a i viva voce vote. The roll call was demanded on ; the final vote. 1 lie resolution requires Arizo na to vote on an amendment re moving the recall provisions as it applies to judges; and requires the people of New Mexico to vote on an amendment making the constitution of that state more easily amendable. Neither state is required to adopt the amendments proposed by con gress. Whether they are ap proved or rejected by the pro posed referendum, the constitu tions of the new states will stand finally approved when the respective votes have been taken. The resolution passed in the form proposed by the democrat ic majority of the committee on territories. Efforts were made by the republicans to force Ari zona to vote out of its constitu tion the recall of judges; and to give the immediate and unquali fied approval to the New Mexico constitution. Both provisions were rejected singly; and later ,! when Mr. Mann embodied them in a motion to recommit the measure they were voted down. The democrats said the propo ! sal to force Arizona to reject the recall was an effort to keep that state out of the union. The dem ocratic resolution, said the chairman of the territories com mittee, presented the fairer meth od, namely, to leave to the de termination of the people the re call question.
