SEGREGATION LAW
 ID BE GIVEN A TEST
THERE ARE TWO ALLEGED DE-
 FECTS IN IT.
Prohibitionists Have Already Secured
 Legal Opinion.

The segregation law, which was passed at the tenth hour and signed at the eleventh, is to be given a test in the courts, so say the friends of prohibition, who assert that they all ready have the opinion of one of the leading and most careful attorneys of Phoenix that the law is invalid for the same reason that the first local option law was pronounced in valid-in the manner of districting the county
 Another objection to the law is that it makes no definite provision for expression by all the voters. It provides that the election shall be held throughout the whole county, but that the votes in incorporated towns must be counted separately. Phoenix, for instance, as a voting precinct, extends far beyond the cor pOrate limits. There are hundreds of voters within this precinct who would be left without opportunity to regis ter their sentiments for voters must vote in their precincts or not at all.

 Attorney Andrews laughed heartily at the little hubbub the refusal of his confirmation raised in political circles here and in Phoenix. The veteran attorney says that it afford ed him more amusement than any incident in his career of late years

Under the law, therefore, their votes cannot be counted in their own pre- cinct of Phoenix. and there is no way by which their votes can be dsitin- guished from those of voters residing within the corporate limits.
 This matter was brought to the attention of MT Hampton before his departure from the city on Saturday night, and he said that it seemed to be a grave defect. He thought that il might be remedied by boards of supervisors, if they chose to do so, by creating new voting precincts, so that only voters living within the corporate limits of Phoenix should belong to Phoenix precinct. How ever, he did not think that boards of supervisors could be compelled to es- tablish such precincts.
 He said that the bill had been drawn hurriedly late on "Wednesday night by three of the foremost attor- neys of this city, and that that mat ter had probably been overlooked in the haste of preparation. He had taken no part in the making up of the new bill, though he was the au- thor of the second one which had passed both houses as an amendment to the Day license bill. MT. Hamp- ton was inclined to believe that some way would be found out of the ap- parent difficulty
 In a general way. it is the theory of the prohibitionists, that any law which fails to make provision for the casting of the vote of every voter, and for the counting of it, is not a good law. They contend that no ac- ton by the board of supervisors can alter the principle of the law so as to make it good.

JUDGE H. I. ANDREWS
 WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED
At the Failure of His Confirmation. He Explains the Opposition of Hon. M. G. Burns.

In local political circles the prin- cipal topic discussed yesterday was the refusal of the council to confirm the appointment of Attorney Henry T. Andrews, of this city, on the rail- way commission, says the Prescott Journal-AIiner.
 The action of M. G. Burns. coun- cilman from this county, in opposing Andrews confirmation is criticised by some and upheld by others.
 Attorney Andrews is not disap- pointed at the action of the council. He anticipated strong opposition there and made no effort to be confirmed.
 Discussing the matter yesterday Attorney Andrews said, in part: "I am not surprised at Burns objecting to my confirmation and voting against it. In opposing me he was only doing the bidding of his mas ters. I supported Burns in the last campaign, and only today was in formed by a prominent republican that Burns would have been defeated if I had not vouched for him. l said during the campaign that Burns was man that will keep his word. I believe l told the truth. If Burns promised his masters that he would oppose my confirmation, he certainly kept his word

Sponges have almost been discarded from the modern bathroom on account of the difficulty of keeping them in a sanitary condition. When they are used one should not be satisfied with giving them an occasional washing even in warm water, but they should be boiled once a week in water to which has been added teaspoonful of Gold Dust wash ing powder and rinsed through several clear warm waters. Wash cloths should also be boiled in Gold Dust suds and thoroughly rinsed, stunned and ironed. Those of thin linen crash are more desir- able than heavy ones.

We do not ask you to be disloyal to the city where your fortune was made. but if you will build a summer home here in the mountains of Coconino county, and spend your summers under the canopy of the pines whose breath is an elixir of life, you will live many years longer to spend the winters in your city home, and to sit by the fireside at Christmas time and tell the gathered guests and young married folks of the beauties of san Fran cisco peaks where you spend your summers, and of the long string of great, Hopping fish you caught in Oak creek.

It is only a ques- tion of a little time until there will be a summer home in every pretty nook of the mountains about Flag staff. Come pick out the prettiest spot. build a cottage and be equipped Co spend your summers happily.
 The majority of Flagstaffs summer visitors are from Phoenix, and al ready the most pleasant reciprocal relations are being established be- tween the two cities. The climate here makes Flagstaff too delightful place to leave between April and November and therefore our people rarely ever go away for pleasure ex- cept during the winter. When they do decide to go away it is usually to Phoenix. because there is no better place tn go in winter. During the past winter more Flagstaff people were in Phoenix than ever before This summer there will be mor~ Phoenix people in Flagstaff than during any previous year.

| know that he is not a man to in- | dulge in idle flattery. At q recep- ! ton given in his honor in Flagstaff | last month Governor Sloan said:
 "I have been coming to Flagstaff for SO many years on public bUsi- ness. and so frequently for pleasure and recreation that I look upon nay self as in a real sense belonging here. and as one of you; and one of the unpleasant features connected with my prospective change of office is the expectation that my visits must of necessity be less frequent in the future. As an Arzonan | am proud of the quality of your citizenship, and l. hold the people of Flagstaff in such high regard and affection that look upon any evidences of your good opinion and approval of my record as a public official, as a thing of which to be justly proud. and I value the many friendships formed here as highly as any that have come to me in my life"
 The majority of the people of Flag staff have enjoyed the advantages of liberal education, and with d full knowledge of it's benefits they quite naturally insist that their children shall be raised in q healthy social and educational atmosphere. On account of it's climate and natural advantages there is located in Flagstaff one of the leading educational institutions of the southwest, the Northern Arizona Normal school. This is in addition to a splendid system of public and private schools. These rare educa- tional advantages combined with climate that is ideal for children during the formative period of their lives are things which should appeal to thinking parents.
 An Invitation.
 In our naive, optimistic, western hopefulness and gladness surely no trace of selfishness can be held against us, for we are ever ready to welcome the stranger, and are glad to have him share with us the rarest of natures gifts. together with the sociable life of our little city. If you are not quite satisfied where you are pay visit to Flagstaff: spend two or three months here, and see if you do not decide that you have found the place for which you have been looking You will leave some dear associations behind you. but you will have no difficulty in making new ones, and entering into the spirit and life of your new home in new country.
 No matter where you live we ex- tend you a cordial invitation to visit us, but especially do we address this invitation to the people of the cities

I scenery in so small an area, agair
 with prodigal liberality bathes the San Francisco peaks, and surround ing country in perpetual sunshine. Little if any effort has ever beer made to advertise Flagstaff as a summer resort, but the knowledge is spreading that we have the finest summer climate in the United States with the result that not a few are profiting thereby. There is many a
 pleasure resort of note situated in a far less favored cline. Then why moi let the message go forth far flung to waiting ears that here in much maligned Arizona is a mystical sun land with a climate of Italian soft ness, where poor tired bodies may find nourishment in the very air, and where one may give himself over tO the full enjoyment of an ever chang ing panorama that lulls to restful meditation.
 The climate is characterized by a maximum of sunshine and almost ab- solute clearness of the atmosphere. Altitude and not latitude affects the temperature here The thermometer seldom registers as high as SS de- grees in the summer. The highest summer temperature recorded in Flagstaff during the eleven years since the local weather bureau was established is 93 degrees. The high est temperature recorded last sum- mer was S4 degrees, and then no one realized that the mercury was above the 70 degree mark. The clear ness of the air at this high altitude C7O00 feeD must be kept in mind considering the temperature of this region if one would gain an accurate understanding of the climate as one feels it. The average July tempera
 ture is 65 degrees, but a person from the east used to summer tempera- lures of 80 to 90 degrees, and a rela- tive humidity of 75 to S5 per cent can scarcely realize that the tempera- ture here is above 90 degrees. owing to the small capacity of the air for holding heat there is a difference of from 20 to 90 degrees between the sun temperature and the air It is this difference, together with the balsamic odor of the pine that makes our summer climate SO cool and de- lightful. No brighter days are to be found anywhere. but the pleasures of beautiful days do not end with the coming of darkness. The high alti- ture gives cool, bracinE nights which are ideal for outdoor sleeping. The close, muggy nights of the central and eastern states are unknown here Blankets are always necessary, and refreshing sleep is assured every night in the year. The average night temperature for Flagstaff during the summer is 46 degrees. It may not be of interest to our Phoenix friends to know that the average minimum temperature of Flagstaff for July corresponds with the average mean temperature of Phoenix for January.
 The idea which many people have that the winters in Flagstaff are so cold that they bite to the very mar row is very erroneous. The mean temperature for January. the coldest month, is 20 degrees. However, the days are so full of sunshine that people living here can scarcely real

 'Flagstaff-The Skyight City" is not a meaningless catchword, but an expression coined in the mint of reality. The sun ne'er shone bright CT than upon this charming little city, resting, as it were, on the lap of San Francisco peaks, like q favorite child upon a loving mothers knee. Sun shine and cloudless skies are not, however, the only attractions of this favored region. The greatest natural museum on the globe is embraced within the limits of Coconino coun- ty. In support of this statement we will quote a paragraph from an article entitled "The Southwestern Wonderland" written by Charles F.. Lummis, author of The Awakening of a Nation Strange Corners of Our Country" etc. Mir. Lummis has seen the wonders and trampod the mountains of many foreign countries, and is therefore competent to speak from the view point of one who is travel-stained. He says:
 T believe there can be no dispute that the term, The greatest thing in the world" applies literally to sev- eral things in the immediate region of the Grand Canyon of Arizona. As l have more than once written (and it never yet has been controvertedD, ', probably no other equal area on earth contains so many supreme marvels of so many kinds. so many astound- ing sights, so many masterpieces of natures handiwork, so vast and con- elusive an encyclopedia of the world building processes so impressive monuments of prehistoric man, so many triumphs of man still in the tribal relation-as what l have call ed The Southwestern Wonderland. There are ruins as striking as the storied ones along the Rhine. and far more remarkable. Thers are peo- pies as picturesque as aTfy in the orient, and as romantic as the Aztecs and Incas, of whom We have learned such gilded fables, and there are natural wonders which have no peers whatever As a people We dodder abroad to see scenery incomparably inferior"
 There is no place within the whole extent of what MT. Lummis calls "The Southwestern Wonderland" where so much of it's scenery may be so easily and advantageously reach ed as from Flagstaff. At least three foUrths of the important points of scenic interest in Arizona lie within a radius of a hundred miles of The Skylight City" and the summer vis- itor here may fill every day with sightseeing of the most varied and attractive nature, and then leave great deal undone in this line.
 An Incomparable Climate.
 Before attempting to describe any of the numerous natural and prehis- toric attractions of this locality we shall first give a brief sketch of the climatic conditions. This region, on account of its innumerable mpnu- ments of an extinct civilization, its geological and spectacular phenomena is called a wonderland, but if all these should instantly disappear, it would still remain a Wonderland--a wonderland of climate. The same na- ture that lavished such a wealth of

 Industries.
 In a country of such vast timber resources it is only natural that the lumber industry should be d very important one. Several of the largest and most modern sawmills and box factories in the country are located near Flagstaff, which means large payrolls. From the time the woods men lay low the big trees in the forest until the finished product is loaded aboard the cars labor comes in for a large proportion of the dis bursements. The CocOninO national forest has available and for sale each year timber for many million feet of lumber which is readily sold Manufacturers of lumber find many advantages in operating on govern mont timber. In the first place. only small investment in timber is necessary, thus leaving the great bulk of the operators capital for his equipment. Inasmuch as the timber is purchased on a stumpage basis. payments in advance of cutting are comparatively small, ranging as they do from $500 to $2O0O. Secondly, there are no fire risks; and thirdly, the timber is on-taxable.
 Next in importance to the lumber industry IS that of sheep and cattle raising. About 25O,00O sheep. giving an annual clip of over 2,0O00OO pounds of wool, are to be found on the ranges about Flagstaff. The shipments of lambs from this point to the Kansas City market annually amount to a very large sum. The dry mountain air, the wealth of noun tain vegetation, and the cool climate combine to make this an ideal sheep raising country during the greater part of the year. and the move ment of sheep from north to south is more of a benefit to the sheep than a detrinent as they are grazed along the way with no extra cost to their owners.
 Cattle and horses are grazed in all parts of the county, and constitute a very large share of the wealth and resources of this great grazing coun- try. The peculiar adaptability of this mouptain country for all grazing purposes cannot be Overstated.
 Within two miles of Flagstaff is located quarry from which excel lent building stone is obtained.
 In the town of Flagstaff there are located several progressive mercan- tie establishments, two banks, two newspapers, an electric light plant an ice plant, and a splendid water works system.
 Situated in the midst of a great timber belt, and in the center of an immense grazing region. the busi- ness future of Flagstaff is as full of promise as any town in the territory.

 l ize that the winter temperature reaches such a low figure, but the average is brought so low on ac- count of the low night tempera- lures. The rapidity with winch few inches of snowfall disappears is re- markable. The annual rainfall is 23 inches.
 Amid the ozone of this high and dry section germs of malaria and typhoid cannot exist. There are no mosquitoes of any kind, no stagnant water to breed disease or germs; hence the summer visitor, even if he camps out, runs no risk of being fore ed to receive and entertain invaders unawarcs, or to submit to their havoc after returning home. There is no sickness here of any kind for which the climate is responsible.
 We could venture no prophecy with more sanguine expectation of its full fillment than that some day the most famous playground on the American continent will be located in this land of sunshine and scenery, under whose blue skies, and in the shadow of whose lofty peaks have lived, suffer- ed and died nations of men whose
