MOUNTAINEERING CONCERT

SCHUMANN-H -HElNk CONCERT-
 Announcement of the possible coming
 of Nme. Schumann- link has not met
 with as liberal response to the call for
 the necessary subscriptions to insure
 her appearance, as the promoters of
 the undertaking had expected and it
 is now stated that those who wish to
 hear the great diva should hurry
 along to Boehmcrs drug store and
 put their names down. If that be not convepicnt subscriptions for seats may
 be left with Professor J. M. Messin-
 ger at the Y. M. C. X. Unless more
 liberal patronage is secured very soon
 the project will have to be given up.
 Mime. Schumann- Heink will bring d
 very fine pianist who will not only play her accOmpanincnts in manner both entertaining and instructive to students but who will also play some
 piano solos Nowadays accompanists
 are not ordinary musicians as former
 ly but are necessarily persons of rare
 talent who can fondle the piano in
 true Paderewskian style and the fact that Schumann- Hcink is the greatest contralto in the world of singers makes it certain her pianist must be prac- tically equal to Bauer or any other great pianist before the public.
 DUNCAN DlSGUSTED-Jeff Dun can is the most disgustcd man in town Jeff is now touting himself as an honest ranchcr in the Mesa City country. except when he is serving the high court ass bailiff. but some years ago he was a deputy sheriff. As such the nickname Jeff became SD closely associated with the sheriff s cf flee that it seems as though about half the county has Duncan mixed with Jeff Adams who waS recently
 elected sheriff. Duncan says that; since the l2th Of December his arm
 has been sore all the time shaking
 hands with the men who say thcy
 voted Cor Jim and would like to bc appointed as deputies. He says that
 in the last two weeks he has prom
 ised jobs to at least q hundred men
 in one precinct or another. But what
 disgusts him is that he didn't run
 for sheriff himself. He says that If
 all the democrats who think they
 voted for him. had voted for him, he
 would not have needed the votes of
 many besides the republican central
 committee and candidates. to have
 insured his election.
 NAVAJO CAPTURED.-This does
 not refer to a blanket. nor even to a
 Navajo Indian. but to A L. Harris
 a member of the Navajo club of Phoc-
 nix. Mir. Harris was married yester- day, according to meaEer advices of his fellow members, in Avalon, Santa Catalina Island. to Miss May Alter man. young lady from Michigan. The
 Navajo club is composed of twenty young gentlemen who keep house" at 32l North First avenue where they have their own cook and regular fam ilv outfit. Mir. Harris is the first of the number to tire of the community home life and seek the establishment of more exclusive fircside. He properly recognized the other mem bcrs of his community family in talk ing his departure and they made mcr- rN at Iris expense on the eve of his wedding day. Mir. Harris is tal- ented irrigation engineer of this city having been formerly connected with the reclamation service and being now in private practice. Fortunately also he is as popular as he is talented. as Mrs Harris undoubtedly will be when she comes to make her home in PhOc- nix.

Heard has fine tennis court at his place and it is rcputcd that he is becoming as fond of the game. and as proficient ls either Andy Carnegie or President Taft can be at golf. or the democratic party in Arizona at politics.
