WAR BRINGS UP
 OLD TIME MEMORIES

Dan Hogan came into the office the other night and started to say some thing about Capt. John c. Greenway and then he happened to remember a lot of things about the old times when they were Rough Riders together in Cuba and he remarked that "every once in a while you think of someone that you used to know under trying circumstances and others you used to know when you were kid and you would sit down and think of things that you used to do when kids and you talk about them and laugh and forget the war and the cattle and sheep and go way back to the Sunday school and the kissing games and the little red brick school houses and you think of some gray haired friend and now he wears glasses and has poul- try farm and then you recall the time that you and some other boys went to church and were eating choke cher ries from the trees in the churchyard and one had a whistle, a tin whistle that was round and had hole in the center of it, the kind that came with chewing gum, and he had it in his mouth while he was eating the cher ries and he swallowed the whistle. It caught in his throat and every time he would breathe in it would whistle and then when he would breathe out it would whistle and it scared us so we all thought he was going to die and he got red and kept whistling and finally we told him to cough but he only whistled. We then took him home and we knew that as long as he whistled he was all right: We got him home and his mother took it out with a hook and anyway he is still alive and we can't help but think of those times when we were kids to- gether

COUNCIL MINUTES,
 MEETING APRIL 28, 1917

Pursuant to call of the Mayor, the Common Council of the town of Flag staff met in the town hall April 2Sth, Saturday, at 4:30 o'clock p. m. Pres ent Mayor Finley, Councilmen Bab- bitt, Heiser, Richardson and Zalaha, Clerk Johnston and Attorney J. E. Jones.
 Meeting was called for the purpose of discussing paving matters and de- ciding on the kind of paving to be specified.
 Reports from several cities were read covering various kinds of paving, from which it appeared that bitulithic paving showed the lowest cost consid- ering length of services. It was the sense of the council therefore, that "bitulithic wearing surface on con- crete base" should>be specified in the resolution of intention covering pav- ing contemplated here.
 Mir. W. L. Taylor appeared before the Council representing the local lodge of Elks, requesting a fiat license rate of $15.00 for each operating day for the Poole & Allen Carnival com pany, showing here under the auspices of the Elks.
 Moved by Rabbit, seconded by Za- laha and unanimously carried that this rate be granted.
 In view of the fact that better rates for paving could be obtained if the contractors were assured of plenty of local sand, it was decided that no sand should be hauled for any purpose ex- cept paving from the bed of the River De Flag from Cherry avenue south to and including the Santa Fe right-of-way, and the Marshal was in- structed to have signs placed to this effect, and see that said order was enforced.
 No further business appearing, the Council then adjourned.

Miss Walker plays the role of a care free girl whose mothers death has left her lacking in any knowledge of the conventions. She delights in fish ing on Sunday, startling the towns folk by prancing through the quiet streets barefooted and doing all the hundred and one things which are tabooed.
 Sunday
 Sunday brings to the Orpheum, MT. E. H. Southern, who will appear in the title role of "An Enemy of the King" Mr.. Sothern is a renowned star and toured this country time and again in a repertoire of plays in which he made his mark as one of the foremost actors of this day. In 1903 he became the co-star with Julia Mar lowe under the direction of Charles Frohman, which was practically the beginning of his career as Shakes perean star. Beginning about 1906 he was under the direction of the Shuberts. Edith Storey, the versatile Vitagraph star, plays the feminine lead in this picture. Miss Storey scored a big hit here in Flagstaff when she last appeared in "The Tar antula."
 This three day run of pictures that the Orpheum announces are of very high quality and this goes to show that the management is making good their promise that nothing but the finest productions would be shown in that theatre.
 White slave pictures, and anti war pictures have been tabooed by Mir. Barncord, the owner of this pro- gressive play house, and he has in structed his manager that no suggest i've pictures of any description will be considered as worthy war time at traction for his theatre.

DIR. A. B. DARBY PASSES
 AWAY IN INDIANA

Mrs. c. O. Lampland was called to her old home in Waterloo, Indiana two weeks ago by telegram stating that her father, Dr, A. B. Darby was dangerously i'll. Word has been re- ceived that he died Friday last week Dr. Darby was one of the oldest practicing physicians of his state and was active in his work until his health failed about a year ago. He held important positions both in pub lie life and medical circles.
 Dr. and Mrs. Darby visited Mrs Lampland at the Observatory in the fall of 1915 and those here who made his acquaintance will deeply regret to hear of his death.

George Walsh always plays role of strenuous strong man; and the role is not assumed. In actual life, it is impossible for anything and anyone to master him. One slight blow we'll placed-and the opponent offers no more resistance. That is why MT. Walsh has literally fought himself into the hearts of the picture fans all over the country.
 Saturday
 On Saturday afternoon and evening Lillian Walker, the dimpled darling of the screen, will delight all members of her audience, in the swimming scenes of "Indiscretion," the Vitagraph Blue Ribbon feature for this day.

George Walsh, the husky William Fox star who has gained fame as an "honest to goodness" scrapper will again appear upon the screen at the Orpheum Theatre tonight. The last picture in which Mir. Walsh was starred and which was shown at the Orpheum will be remembered by the theatre goers, as it was picture that was approved and enjoyed by all. This picture was entitled Melting Millions" and those that saw the pro- duction will agree that he did "some melting" Tonight's picture, "High Finance" gives MT. Walsh even a better chance to show his remarkable strength and ability as an athlete.

Munich, deputy state land COM
missioner, information that Mrs.

We celebrated Mass at Notre
Dame de Paris on All Souls day,
and in the afternoon assisted in
the procession of the Blessed
Sacrament in Notre Dame dcs
VICTORIES (the miraculous
shrine), and also at the Basilica
of Montmarte, the Sacred Heart.
1t being the first Friday of the
month the services were beauti-
full, and I find no words to de-
scribe the beauty of the singing
by the combined men and boys
choirs. But especially when the
entire congregation joined in
singing the 'Parce nobis Do
mine," during the procession,
did we feel our soul stirred to
it's depths, and did we feel that
France was in the throes of a
cruel war. The churches are
crowded on Sundays and at all
religious services, and there is
no denying that France is.

The authorities are extremely

Will Get a Coon Dog.

Doctor E. S. White, the dem
tist, is promising his friends
some rare sport very shortly.
In his youth the doctor en-
joyed very greatly in his native
state, Tennessee, the rare sport
of coon hunting. Every boy had
his coon dog, and many boys
with many coon dogs kept the
coon tribe on the run. Doubt
less from long generations of
training in avoiding the small
boy and his dog the coon gained
tlat individual keenness and
cuteness with which he credited.
Now,I in his hunting excur-
sions about Nogales, Doctor
White has noted that on the
Sonoita there are many coons.
Il So the doctor is arranging to
send for a trained coon dog in
Tennessee and bring him to No
gales, for introduction of that
rare sport here. And, when the
dog arrives there will be nothing
doing among the coons.
/ Yesterday Doctor White went
into the store of Sam Friedman
to make a purchase of cart
ridges, and incidentally he re-
marked that he would import a
coon dog, and have some sport.
Whereupon Mr.. Oscar F. Ash
burn, who sat one side, and
whom the doctor had not noted,
jumped to his feet and exclaim-
ed:
Bring the dog up to the
Pennsylvania rancho. There
are lots of coons around there,
and / should like to join with
you in the sport. / haven't been
coon hunting since was a boy

nell into the depot, to seek
refuge in the tunnel of the un-
derground railway. They were
screaming, weeping and some
fainting, but all tenderly receiv-
ed by the officials. 1t was a
dreadful sight all round me in
the hot tunnels, the smell Of
which became unbearable, as we
were packed in there like sar-
dimes. l availed myself of an op-
portunity for relief by boarding
one of the trains that came
along, to get some fresh air and
to sit down; and I travelled un-
der the city until midnight,
when all danger was over.
German air raids were expect
ed nightly on account of the
bright moon; but even though
they drop no bombs, as on these
two occasions, because met and
driven off by allied aviators,
they cause nevertheless fright
full disturbance. The British
and the French are ready row
to stop them.
/ had the pleasure of visiting
my niece and her two children
at Yeddington, five miles from
London; but the pleasure was
mixed with great deal of sad
ness, as | heard from them the
tale of their hardships and the
sufferings of the Belgian peo-
pie, when my native land was in
vaded, and since. Much of the
tales of cruelty we read about
in the America was disbelieved;
but when my niece related see
ing herself children crucified,
with hands chopped off, and feet
dismembered, etc., / cannot dis
believe it any more.
In Paris yesterday we met

trymen crucified, head down.
wards, two of them were still
alive. 1t is unbelievable, but
after a while you will hear of
worse, undeniably true.
We have found a beautiful
home for clergy at the residence
of four aged priests, who keep
boarders in order to make a
living. 1t is the palace of a
count which can accommodate
fifty-three persons. 1t has a
large chapel with three per-
manent affairs, billiard and read
ing rooms, all furnished richly,
an inside and an outside garden,
steam heated, in fact every
thing desirable for comfort; and
we pay less than So per day.
We are going to make this home
the center for the American
Knights of Columbus volunteer
chaplains.
We are now seven priests
who have come under the aus
pices of the Knights of Column
bus, awaiting further arrange
ments for our appointments. +
By the end Of the week we will .
be all off for somewhere on the
front or near to it. From dozen
of places there are urgent calls
for American priests. 1t is a tre-
mendous work, the size of which
American Catholics have no
idea. There are numerous calls ,
from the French sand Belgian
fronts, and the respective
are at a loss to
know how to meet the emer-
gency.
Whilst awaiting here we made
the best of the opportunity to
see the sights of Paris, Yer
sailles, the Bois de Bolougne, the
Tuilleres, the Louvre, the Tro- !
cadero, etc. etc., too numerous /,
to mention. We find the /,
