ANACOSTIA.

Residents of Randle Highlands are won
dering to-day why II was that the post
Office substation that has been main
past year was discontinued the latter
part OF the past week. Those familiar
with the matter however, state that the
station did not gay its own expenses, and
1t was deemed advisable to discontinue
it. An effort will be made to have it re-
stored and Postmaster Miller, of Station
H, in Anacostia. has signified his will
ingness to give his Endorsement to the
movement.
Mrs. Francis FeaZier. worthy matron

Much interest is being manifested in
the meeting of the Anacostia Citizens

important matters affecting this section
will be discussed. and notably the placing
of the power underground along Nichols

the stagnant water on the east side of

KILLED WHILE
 BOARDING TRAIN

While his wife and eight chil- dren awaited at Winslow the ar- rival of husband and father with the pleasurable anticipation of a camping trip which had been planned before his departure a short time before, w. D. Cummings, a railroad carpenter, employed on the double track work near Flag staff, was thrown under the caboose of an east. bound local at Flagstaff, at about pm. Monday and hor- ribly mangled.
 It is said that Cummings had been brinking with a number of companions shortly before the train came through, and in making a clumsy attempt to catch the ca boose fell and was caught under the wheels.
 The coroner's inquest, which was held Tuesday, the jury returned a verdict of accidental death.
 The remains were inferred at Flagstaff.

LARSON LOOKING
 FOR LOCATION

Enters now one Hans Larson, an energetic and financially solid Dane of the state of Oregon, who, hay ing heard somewhat of Williams through those channels which good news somehow travels anyway, leaves profitable business there as cement contractor and a fine farm from which he and his thrifty wife derive comfortable income through dairying on a small scale. and comes to iook-and possibly locate.
 MT. Larson came unheralded and for a couple of days made unosten- tatious observations of the city and the surrounding country, casting an eye trained in agriculture over the broad acres that slope gently from the mountains as if inviting the treatment of a trained and ex. pert irrigation or dry farmer.
 To hear MT. Larson's present opinion of the possibility of dairy ing and small farming in this sec- tion (speaking in the slow, unemo- tional but earnest way peculiar to his countrymen) would make the heart of the most pessimistic quick en with confidence.
 Like many another mar who was lured to the northwest by the prom ises of riches, Mir. Larson has found the climate there serious disad. vantage, and in seeking climate as near to the ideal as possible, set tied upon northern Arizona The fact of prospective good citizen and >town-builder like this man having to make a long and expensive journey to obtain relia. ble information about this section emphasizes more than words the pressing necessity for good live commercial club here.
 Undoubtedly there are thousands of people in the northwest who have the same desire as MT. Larson to get away from the trying climate
 but probably no more than one out of a hundred would personally
 make the trip merely upon g re- port without the badge of authen' ticity.

Death of Mrs. Frank Greene

From the Daily Pioneer, dated July 7, published at Alva, Okla homa, we clip the following con- corning the death of the wife of Prof. Frank Greene. Prof. Greene is the principal of the Williams public schools, and is held in high esteem by everybody in Williams, and all sympathize with him in his deep aff1iction:
 Mrs. Frank Greene died at the home of her fatber-in-law, E. N. Greene, just west of town, at Il o'clock today. She had been sick for a long time, and about two weeks ago her husband was called from his work as professor of the schools at Williams, Arizona, to her bedside The family has been con stantly at her bedside for the past month, and for some time before the end came felt there was no hope for her recovery. The young couple | left our ClGy only 6 lew years ago, and up until the death of the young wife fortune seemed to smile on their every effort, and at present MT. Greene is holding a most re- sponsible position in the educa- tional circle of his home state for one of his age. All seemed bright ness ahead until Mrs. Greene was taken sick few months ago and her trip to Ava was to regain her strength and be among friends un- til she was we'll and strong. But this was not to be. The death will cause many a friend to bow theil head among the mourners who knew the true, noble and Christian character of this young woman. The heartfelt sympathies ol the many friends of the Greene family are extended to them ano other relatives in their hours oi sorrow"
