OFFICIOUS AGENT MAKES
 TROUBLE AT SNAKE DANCE

There was some doubt this year as to whether or not white visitors at the Moqui snake dance would be al- lowed to see the dance, as the Indians were at first inclined to be surly and hostile to the whites. The Indians were at variance with their agent, and when the first visiotrs arrived at the pueblo the Indians displayed their resentment in marked man. ner. A little diplomacy on the part of two of the visitors, one of whom was from Gallup, won the confidence of the Indians and the visitors were allowed to remain in the village and see the wierd ceremony after the snake priest had held a conference in the kiva.
 The trouble, according to reports, started over dog which tried to bite one of the nurses. An order was given to kill off number of dogs in the village, which angered the Indians. The chief snake priest threatened to make trouble about sending the chil- dren to school, and by order of the agent he was placed under arrest and locked up at the agency. The arrest of the priest just before the time for the dance aroused resentment among the Indians and they displayed their feelings by threatening to exclude all visitors from the scene of the snake dance.--Gallup Herald.
 Complaints were made by many people against the Indian agent, who, it is claimed, endeavored to make their visit there as unpleasant as pos sible.

MISS PIERCE'S GREAT
 WORK FOR SUFFRAGISTS

The Woman's party, with one plank in its platform and no candi- dates, is to hold a series of rallies in Maricopa county to acquaint women with the purpose of the first national woman's party that has ever been or ganized. The woman's party is work ing to pass the national suffrage amendment, popularly known as the Susan B. Anthony amendment. Be- cause this bill, which will enfranchise the women of thirty-six states at once has been steadily opposed by the present administration, the woman's party advises the women in the west ern suffrage states to put Suffrage first" for one election, and vote away from the democratic party, which has steadily blocked freedom for women.
 Miss Vivian Pierce, of California, who is organizing for the woman's party in Coconino and Mohave coun- ties at present, held a big rally in Flagstaff at the Empress theater on Wednesday, September 6, and local women presented the aims of the Ari- zona suffrage workers. Miss Pierce also spoke on Tuesday afternoon at the Flagstaff W. c. T. U., on Thurs day and today speaking, with other women, at, Williams and at the Grand Canyon. It is the aim of the suf- frage workers of Arizona, who with the women of the eleven other suf- frage states, are getting into politics for the first time in the history of the movement, to reach every voter in Arizona with literature explaining the aims of the party before the No vember election. Not for ourselves flor the unenfranchised women of the nation," cries the Arizona wom- ans party.

THEY APPRECIATE THE
 WONDERS OF ARIZONA

Contributed by member of party)
 On the 16th of August the c. c. Green, Van Sine, c. NJ. Harper, R. A. Logue and H. c. Sine families and Mrs. Daniels left town for the north ern part of the state. The trip was made in two cars and three Fords. Prescott was reached on Thursday night and Flagstaff Saturday noon. They went over the new Black Can yon road, but returned by way of the old road
 The party spent three days on a trip to the Grand Canyon, all cars going with the exception of that of Mir. Logue. Flagstaff was crowded with Glendale and Phoenix people Among the Glendale people there Dr. Emmett Otto and family, Mrs Hood, Mrs. Lawrence, Mrs. Long and Nan, Eleanor and Ruth Roberts Grace Brewster, Lucille Eter Ruth Forney, Mir. and Mrs. R. F. Stauffer MT. and Mrs. Harry T. Cartmel, Mir and Mrs. Henry Connor and few Phoenix people.
 A day and a half was spent at Lake Mary, where great many fish of !? length were caught.
 Mir. H. c. Sine and family and C. c. Green and family returned to Glen dale Monday evening, while the re- turn of the c. M. Harper, K. A. Logue and Van Sine cars are indefinite.
 Miss Mabel Green and Miss Fran ces Green visited the Normal girls two evenings, one being spent on the cement tennis courts, where good set was enjoyed. The girls are enjoy their dormitory life, but are anxious for letters from home.
 The ice caves, lava beds and Sun. set mountain were all visited. Any one making the trip to Prescott must be their own judge of the roads, foi the Black Canyon road is fair and the old road is fairly. The scenes ir northern Arizona are surely wonder. ful, and any one of the crowd will recommend the trip for anyone Glendale News.

Popular Railroad Man Married.

While the great railroad strike question may be of great importance to some railroad men, Ray A. Finney, a popular young brakeman on the Santa Fe, forgot all about it last Wednesday morning and was united in marriage to Miss Martha Mary Helin, of State Center, Iowa, at the Catholic church in Winslow, by Father vabre of this city.
 The ceremony took place at 7:15 and was a private affair. The newly welded couple took No. 9 for Los Angeles on couple of weeks honey moon, and will return to Winslow, where they will make their home.
 Rays home was formerly in Will Hams, where he met the handsome young lady who is now Mrs. Finney, and where he has spent the greater part of his life in the service of the railroad.
 He has many friends in Flagstaff who will be pleased to congratulate him on the happy event.
