THE boy Orator of the Platitudes"
is not holding out we'll physically in
his trip to New York where he will be
told of his nomination. His speeches
from the train could only out of kind
ness be called speeches, for they were
the mildest kind of little thank-yous,
and contained absolutely no thoughts
or new IDEAS Where the boy will be
physically before he is aware of his
nomination, it is hard to conjecture,
and pity should be extended to him.

The classic shades of Chillicothe,
Commonwealth of Missouri, was the
place, and March 27, 1856, the date of
the birth Of the genial manager of the
Flagstaff Commercial Company. Chill
licothe is noted seat of learning, hav-
ing two normal schools. a seminary
and other educational institutions.
That Mr.. Francis imbibed much of the
learning and wisdom that is there in
culcated in the budding mind is evil
denced by his after life. He was edu-
Gated at the public schools, and subse-
quently took course at the Kirkville
normal school. After graduation he
taught school for two years. In 1881
lie removed to Flagstaff, some time
before the whistle Of the iron horse
resounded through our mountains and
valleys.
He resumed his former vocation of
teaching for term Of one year. Was
appointed deputy sheriff of Yavapai
county. and for ten years done faith
full service to the county in that ca
pacity.
On the formation of Coconino county
Mr.. Fr ancis was elected our first sher-
iff. serving two years. Afterwards
engaged in the lumber business, and
in October, 1894, organized and was
made president of the Flagstaff Com
mercial Company, Of which company
he is now general manager and secre-
tary. In all his different pursuits,

Among those crowned with the laurel
of success by the votes of their fellow
citizens none are more prominently
identified with the interests and deve!-
opment of Flagstaff than David Bah

city as mayor for the past eighteen
months. That his administration has

attested by the contents of the ballot
box.
1t was thirty-eight years ago come
May l4th--as they say in folk lore
that our chief magistrate took his first
wondering glance Mt this mundane
sphere. The place was Cincinnati,
Ohio. The sons of the great Buckeye
State have proverbial faculty for
getting there" and that Mr.. Babbitt
possesses full quota of the charac-
teristic energy is evidenced by the wide
ramitications Of his many interests in
this Territory. His education was re-
ceived in the common schools Of Gin
cinnati. which he left at the age of

II large lumber concern, where he

five years.
Early percciving the great future
awaiting Arizona, he came to this
Territory at the age of % and success
fully engaged in the cattle business for
two years. His busy life since that
time is an open book to all residents OF
Northern Arizona. At an age when
many young men are only thinking Of

largest mercantile company in North

interests. and mayor of our Hourishing

in 1881 by Stover. Crary & Co.,
with which firm he remained for sever
years. From the New Mexican me-
tropolis Mr.. Keller scented the invig
Grating air OF Flagstaff and forthwith
made it his home.
He was in the employ of j. X. Xii
patrick for some time, but for severa
years has conducted his own establish

Keller will undoubtedly receive thu
verdict of ''well done. good and faith

j. L. Grim.

The self-poise and intellectual ap-
pearance of the popular school trustee
and newly-elected councilman from
the west end is not at all indicative of
the stormy scenes being enacted at the
time Of his entrance on the stage OF
life. Mr.. Grim was born in Carroll
county, Ark. January 10, 1861 "a
time when that fertile section was raw.
aged by the carnage incident to inter-
necine strife and the desolation which
it entailed.
He was raised on farm, but enjoy
ed exceptional education advantages.
After the usual common school course
he graduated at the high school at the
age of 10. His first vocation was that
of teacher, which profession he fol-
lowed for five years. At the age of "a
he moved Wcst-coming directly to
Flagstaff. Since his residence in this
city Mr.. Grim has engaged in the busi-
ness Of contracting and building and
has met with exceptional success. The
Emerson High School is monument
to his skill and handiwork.
Mr.. Grim is prominent in +. & A.
NJ. circles, having taken the M. NJ.
and Royal Arch degrees, and is also
member of the A. o. U. w. and Wood
men of the World. Surrounded by a
happy family Of four. he basks in the
sunshine of well-earned success in his
commodious West End residence.

his parents removed to Indiana, and
he was educated in the public schools
of New Paris in that State.
In early manhood Mr.. Vail caught
the Western fever and purchased II
ticket for New Mexico. Locating al
Coolidge, in that Territory. he pur-
sued different callings with unvarying
success for some years, until the fame
of Flagstaff wooed him to our midst.
Since taking up his residence here in
October, 1888, Mr.. Vail has been
closely and actively identified with
every enterprise that tended to the
growth and prosperity of our city.
Shortly after locating here he built
the handsome Vail Building, where he
