Three months 182.50 $1.50 -#1.00 We hail with delight the knowl edge of Winslows prosperity, ru mors reach St. Johns from time to time, of the impetus in all branches of business, now being manifested in Navajo’s fairest city, and we glory in it. The citizens of that town de serve the entire credit, as their ef forts have always been expended for the general good, business en terprise and capital rarely seeks a location unsolicited. It must be sought, and induced to come, and Winslow's citizens are never found shirking at such a time, for unani mity of purpose and public spirit edness, commend us to such peo ple. That the school bonds will carry at the coming election, there can hardly be any question, the town has grown beyond and away from the old house, the time has passed when it was sufficient, then Winslow was a small railroad sta tion, but now, it ranks as one of the large town on the line of the A. P. railroad, and still growing, and with its broad streets and beautiful modern cottages. The present school house is ill assorted and a hideous blot on the otherwise fair exterior. Winslow is a modern town laid out and built up on modern plans, in habited by 19th century people and they want a school building that will be an ornament and a lasting pride, and whats’ more to the point, they'll get it! Concno, after experiencing much depression, through a dearth of wa ter for irrigable purposes, is fast coming to the front, and will before many years, rank as one of the im portant towns in Apache county. The new reservoir constructed last spring is a decided success, the on ly fault was the delay encountered in securing the site, which retarded the settlers from opening new land, but next year this will not be ex perienced, as a consequence many broad acres will be redeemed and sowed to grain, etc., this in conjunc tion with the spirit of enterprise inherent in her thrifty inhabitants will make Concho hum. Ex-Justice Strong retired from the Supreme bench, died at Lake Minnewaska, N. Y., on the 19th, through injuries arising from a fall down a pair of stairs, followed by a stroke of paralysis. The dead jurist retired from the Supreme bench in December, 1850, on full pay, under a law, allowing justices to retire at the age of 70 years, and after 10 years service. Mark Twain, the greatest Ameri can humorist, at the age of 60 years goes out into the world to battle for riches, not for his own comfort but to pay debts contracted by the publishing firm of which he was a member, bereft of his forturne, old and infirm, without any appeal for sympathy. He bravely faces the world in a lecture our covering 4 year to secure means to pay the debts of a firm of which he was a mem ber, “accumulated on the faith of my name by those who had a pre sumptive right to use it,” as he tersely put the condition. Ex-President Harrison is the Republican “bete noir,” and like old Banquo’s ghost, he will not down, he is consequently causing the other Presidential aspirants qouich uneasiness Will C. Barnes Gets a Taste of the Enforcement of Rigid Laws. Will C. Barna, member of the as sembly from Apache county in the eighteenth, was father of the bill that compels shippers to unload, feed and water stock while in tran sit on the railway, allowing only twenty-eight hours to intervene the ‘green drinks. On Saturday last he started from Holbrook with a lots of cattle for this valley. Upon reach ing Ash Fork he missed the regular freight. Not daunted he struck Superintendent Healey for special permission to be pulled through by the passenger train. His request would have been granted had not Mr. Healey about this time re ceived a message from the train dis patcher stating that Barnes’ cattle could not reach Phenix within the prescribed twenty-eight hours. He was compelled to unload and al though there are no stock yards at Ash Fork and it is necessary to haul water to quench the thirst of the cattle. In doing this some time was consumed and the cattle went forty hours before they got feed and water. Barnes remonstrated that Superintendent Healey reminded him that the law was drafted in Barnes own hand writing and he was glad to be able to administer to him the first dose of the law. Mr. Barnes will now try to get to the next leg islature and have the law extended so as to enable his own cattle and those of his neighbors to ride thirty six hours without feed. — Gazette. Oh,ye mighty scions of the “Eighteenth!” bow your callow ef forts at law making works out your own undoings, like unto the boom- jerang.
