The following was adopted as a declaration of the purposes of the Order:
 "The objects and purposes of the Society are and shah be his torical and social, that is to say: to collect collate and compile data events and incidents relat- ing to the early history of Northern Arizona, and to chron- icle and record some of the ad- ventures, experiences and remi- n1scences of the members of the society, and to publish such ad- ventures and incidents when the society shall so order, under such rules as the society may prescribe. Further, to collect, gather, keep and safely preserve any and all valuable papers, rel ics of the pioneer days of North ern Arizona, and to exhibit the same to the general public at such times and under such rules and regulations as the society shall direct and prescribe. Fur ther, to strengthen the bonds of friendship and esteem that now happily exist among the mem bers of the Society"
 Throughout the evening it was observed that Theodore Shufin appeared eager to make the first contribution to the his torical archives of the Order, by narrating and having duly chronicled some reminiscence dealing with his early relations with the Navajoes and Apaches but 1t was deemed best to post pone the recital of adventurous experiences until a competent ste'.ographer could be secured and thus preserve to posterity the thu filing experiences which will be related by members as soon as the organization is un der full headway.
 Tom Hesser, who regretted his inability to be present Wed nesday evening. promises to be present at the next meeting and exhibit a scar showing that he was shot in the heel with an ar row by an Apache brave in 17S1.
 Dad French is also expected to occupy an evening with a tale of a lost mine, and Doc Demarest will make contribu tions of photographs of Wins low, taken when there was onll a hitching post in town.
 Altogether, a good time IS looked for by members and spec tators and the Society desires 1t to be understood that ladies who can conform to the eligibil ity qualification as to residence vii be welcomed to membeg ship.
 The next meeting will be held at the city hall, Monday even- ing, May 15, and a large attend ance is desired.

up to the younger generation and tenderfeet generally to show proper respect to the old timers who can tell them right off the reel-if the young will only stop long enough to listen-just how things started Tn Northern Ari- zona.
 At a well attended meeting of the ancient and honorable old guard at the city hall Wednes- day evening, an organization was perfected and the enthusi. asm of those present m launch ing the society will be sufficient momentum to carry it a long way on the road to success.
 Theodore Shufin, who p1on- eered before most of the other pioneers got started, announced that he visited Flagstaff recent ly, where the ancients of that section have a hourishing or ganization, and brought back with him a copy of their consti- tuition and bylaws, which he laid before the meeting for con- sideration.
 After some discussion it was decided to adopt the Flagstaff constitution with the exception of the provision applying to membership qualification which prescribes continuous residence since 1886. Twenty years was deemed a sufficient length of time to pioneer in this section of the Territory in order to merit the name of "oldtimer," and ac- cordingly 1890 was fixed upon as the most recent date accept ed as a starting point for Wins lowites, or in fact any resident of Navajo or Apache counties.
 Some of the most prominent graybeards who are looked upon as the cornerstones of primeval times were conspicuous by their absence, such, for instance, as Doc Oemarest and Dad" French but Theodore Shu1in promised to round them up with about a hundred more for the next meet ing.
 There was some disposition to question the eligibility of certain ones present, particularly C. J Spellmire, who claimed twenty years and three months contin- uous residence in Northern Ari- zona without acquiring the req uisite gray hair or furrowed cheek so necessary to acceptance of claim to being an Indian fighter. Upon his representation that he had personal acquint ance with Geronimo and Rain in the Face before Winslow had acquired the dignity of a flag station, he was informed tha t he would be required to present proper credentials at the next meeting.
 Pop Seeger favored making sixty years the period for eligi bility for membership, but the proposition was voted down as likely to result in too exclusive membership.
 The following officers were then elected:
 w. J. Burke, President; C. J Spellmire, Vice President; Chas Calm, Secretary; ". T ViIli ia ms Treasure; Theodore H oauhin Sentinel.
 Trustees. Fred Seeger, Franl Ketchum, Magnus Rosenburg.
 Membership fees were fixed a $2OO, with $2 co annual dues
 There was d sentiment III favo of having imitation exerclses but after some discussion 1t wa decided that the modern prac tice of riding goats would b undigni6ed in pioneers.

B. 0. ELKS NEWS
 FROM PORTLAND

Portland Ore, Dec. Sth. 1911 A commission form ofgoverment similar in many respects to that now in use by many of the lead ing cities of the country has been adopted by the Elks of Portland for handling the business of the Grand Lodge Convention to be held Tn this city next July.
 There are ten commissioners whose work is divided under the following head: General arrange ments, reception, grand lodge, de coration, finance, entertainment, parades and music, hotels, publi- city. treasurer. K. K. kubi, Ex- alted Ruler of the Lodge, occu pies the position of chairman corresponding to the office of Mayor. Harry C. McAllister, former State Fish and Game Commissioner of Oregon, has been elected Secretary of the Convention.
 The plan is proving very sue cessful. In veiw of the fact that the city of Portland is now en- gagged in a campaign for the a. doption of the commission plan in the government of its muni- cipal affairs, the progress of the Ells is being watched with spe cial interest.

To Voters of Navajo County.

Rolbrook, Arizona, December 9, 1911.
 To The Voters ofNavajo County, Greeting:
 Having been nominated by the Republican party for Clerk of the Superior Court ofNavajo County it becomes my duty, and it is my desire to solicit the patronage and support of my friends thru out the County for my election 10 that office.
 regret very much that my present duties will prevent ms from calling on all ofyou person. ally, in company with the other candidates who are more fortu- nate in that respect. However, I feel that my long residence i'll Navajo County has made me sufficiently aquainted with all of you, that 1 may ask you to par don me in this, and to permit me to make the following brief state ment.
 1 have, as most of you know. served as Clerk of your District Court for number of years. I believe that have performed the duties of that office acceptably and fairly well.
 The duties of the custodian of the Court records of a County are eXacting, and the faithful dis charge of thesame are important to the Commonwealth, and, in our rapidly growing County. they will become more and m ore so each year. Our present Pro- bate Court, under tlle State hood provisions, will be discoh- tinued as separate Court, and all Probate matters will then be adjudicated by the Judge of the Superior Court This will ma- teriallv increase the duties of the office for which 1 am a candi- date While fully realizing the importance of the trust which am seeking at your hands, 1 be- lieve that the experience gained by my work as Clerk of the Dis trict Court, has fitted me for the proper performance of the duties of the cffice to which aspire.
 And now, Voters of Navajo. with this short statement, 1 re- spectfully submit my case to you for your decision. You are the jury and the sole judges i'll the matter. 1 shall feel proud if you render a favorable verdict at the Polls on December 12th. and that you may pronounce judgment to the effect that 1 shall serve as the Clerk of your Superior Court of Navajo Coun- ty. thank you,
 Sincerely yours
 w. B. WOODS.

IN MEMORY OF
 THE DEPARTED

era House last Sunday after noon. The members of the Elks met in their hall at 2 o'clock and marched in a body to the Op- era House, arriving there to find the main tody of the hall filled with friends and relatives of the members as well as a large representation of town folks. Seats for the members had been reserved close to the stage, whil: the officers, and all taking part in ths program, were given seats on the stage. The arrangements and decora tions, which had been attended to by a committee composed of Wm. ]. Crozer, Benj. Downs and Chas. C. Mover, were complete in every detail. On the rear of the stage a large American flag was draped, over which. was hung star containing eleven small electric lights one of which went out following the calling of the deceased brothers name The stage was artistically dec orated with evergreens, carna- tions and lilies, the floor being strewn with dead leaves, life and death being closely brought cut.
 The memorial address was de- livered by Mir. R. w. D. Bryan, a Past Exalted Ruler of Albuquer- que Lodge, and was masterly effort. Mir. Bryan being thor oughly in touch with the subject. An address by Father Connolly received favorable comment from all present. Father Connolly has assisted the local lodge at every memorial ceremony since it's organization, and the mem bers would feel lost should he be absent. Rev. J. Andrew Arnett, pastor of the Methodist church, invoked the divine blessing, and Rev. Joseph Lyons Meade. of the Episcopal church, pronounc- ed the benediction.
 Bro. F. K. Ellis. who is a member ofthe Albuquerquel lodge of Elks, rendered two solos on the trombnoe. the first being The Rosary " and the other Nearer, My God, to Thee" Both were beautifully rendered and elicited much favorable com ment.
 Miss Jessica Reed sang solo, Abide With Me" land also sang a selection with Mir. Clarence J. Spellmire and Arthur C. Smith, and Mir. Smith came later with sclo.
 The musical portion of the program was a treat in itself. each number being rendered with all t,.e art and grace possible. The committee feels quite flat tered on the success of the pro- gram.
 Miss Margaret Day opened the program with the voluntary followed by the funeral march as the Elks were entering the hall, and also accompanied Bro. Ellis with his solos.
 Miss Nan Brown was pianist and played the accompaniment for the other musical numbers.

THE JUDGESHIP OF
 NAVAJO COUNTY


 sound knowledge of the law at large and the Arizona law in particular, is the new office of Judge of the Superior Court created under the new ruling and Statehood. Tuesday is cleo tion day and you Mir. Voter are the one who will decide who is best fitted for this important office of the two candidates who are aspiring for the same.
 Thorwald Larson, the demo- cratic candidate for this office, without the least doubt or hesi tation is the one man in Navajo county, best fitted for this office, and a few words to explain why he IS best fitted for this very i'm portant position can be explain ed.
 MT. Larson was born in the state of Utah, in the year 1871. He was educated at the Salt Lake seminary and the Univer- sity of Utah. After leaving school and his studies he took position as railroad clerk be- tween Butte, Mont. and Ogden, Utah, when only IS years ofage taking all the chances and hard ship that goes with railroad life.
 Later he entered the law off, ces ofLessenger & Loarot Ogden, and took up study of law at the age of 21 In the year 1902 Mir. Larson left Utah to establish his home in Arizona, and i'll the year 1904 he came to Holbrook and began the practice of law there. Since coming to Arizona and the town of Holbrook k.-Mr. Larson has had numerous cases, his re- putation as q good lawyer being known far and wide. On account of his long residence in Navajo county be knows our people and knows them well, and consider ing the important position such as MT, Larson is aspiring for we take pleasure ill recommending q man who knows conditions as they exist in Navajo county and who knows it's every require ments, that he may give just and tair decisions when the occasion demands 1t. Mir. Larson is d re call man from start to finish and stands squarely on the prin ciples of the Democratic plat form. His entire lite was spent in the sister states of Arizona and Utah.
 MT. Larson was quartermas' ter agent of the Civil Service at Holbrook ur.,l recently. but has resigned that position to devote all his time to the office of judge If elected. He has been accused of being a corporation attorney far from it. If there is a man ir the county in the same line ot business as Mir. Larson is en gagged in who has less to dc with corporations than he, we will have to be shown. It has also been stated that he has not and was not going to resign bis position as quartermaster. We wish to say that a new man has been appointed in his place in the person of Henry B. Wilson who will assume the duties in that capacity in a few days. He has been accused of being phys ically unable to attend the du ties as judge. We wish to say that he has made the campaign all over the county on horse back, meeting nearly every vo- ter in the county, and we think that a man who can do that will drive away the least shad- ow of a doubt in regard to his physical ability.
 He is one of ablest lawyers we | na1 =,
