PASSING OF A SWEET
 YOUNG LIFE MONDAY

Miss Mary E. Schwarz, daughter ot MT. and Mrs. c. c. Schwarz, passed away at her home in Flagstaff last Monday evening of tuberculosis, after a long illness. Miss Schwarz was brought to Flagstaff by her parents from their old home in Cincinnati fol her health; but, owing to the advanced stage of the disease, was unable to recover. While the Schwarz family have only lived in Flagstaff few weeks, there are many newly made friends who sympathize with them III the loss of the sweet young life which meant so much to them. Miss SchwarZ was only l6 years ol age at the time of her death. The funeral services were held at the Epis. copal church on Wednesday morning conducted by Rev. Luther Moore, the remains being in charge of Under taker Whipple. !,
 MT. and Mrs. Schwarz were friends of Judge R. J. Kidd, whose acquaint' ance they had made in previous years when Mrs. Schwarz made Flagstaf, her home for short time. MT Schwarz has been in the government service in the quartemaster depart ment at Chicago during the war.

HAYDEN SURE CONGRESS WILL RETURN UTILITIES
 TO PRIVATE OWNERSHIP

Congressman Carl Hayden and Mrs Hayden were visiting their numerous friends in Flagstaff Monday. They were on their way back to Washington from Phoenix to be present at the opening of the special session May 19
 Congressman Hayden says he is a strong advocate of the League of Ma tions and believes that the terms will be ratified by the senate during the next session.
 "The first thing" we will be called upon to do will be to pass the neces- sary appropriation bills which failed of passage at the last session, and from then on great part of our time will be taken up with returning the railroads, telegraph, cable and tele- phone lines lack to private owner ship" he declared.
 "lt is not going to be a very easy piece of business to straighten out to the satisfaction of all concerned; but l am sure that they will be returned to private ownership in short time," as- serted MT. Hayden.
 Congressman Hayden refused to ad- nit that he was a candidate for the |. s, senate or for the goveInorship claiming that this was not a political year anyhow; that he wasn't in Flag. staff to confer with Senator Henry F Ashurst; but that he merely stopped over to see his many old friends in Flagstaff.

LAKE MARY WILL BE
 BOOMING THIS SUMMER

A visit to Lake Mary will convince any one that Flagstaff has a most valuable asset in this. beautiful spot so close to town. The lake is now over six miles long and mile across, filled with bass and surrounded with splendid camping spots all along on both sides. 9F. Lake Mary as summer resort and a camping ground has been growing in popularity for the past two or three years and is only in the pioneer stage. This does not mean that MT. Kom- mers can not take care of good many people, but that the popularity of the place will grow with great rap idity during the next few years, for there isn't another spot so close in, in Northern Arizona, to compare with it, and it will only be short time before it will be the mecca of all those in the south who desire short outing during the summer. Aside from the lake and fishing, there are so many other points of interest in this vicinity where visitors may spend many days of unalloyed enjoyment

BUSINESS MEN BOOSTING
 SUMMER COTTAGE COLONY

The most successful and resultfui meeting yet held by the Booster Club was attended by 35 men yesterday in the Commercial Hotel at IF o'clock And the meal furnished by Chas, Prochnow was up to the standard set by the meeting.
 One result was the first definite and concrete move made in Flagstaff in over four years for the better accom- modation of summer visitors. A com |mittee consisting of c. B. Wilson, chairman, R. E. Marsh, J. c. Dolan, |P. J. Moran, w. H. Switzer, was ap- pointed, not to look into the matter but to get something done. They were instructed to organize company here among local men to finance and pro ceed with the construction of sum- mer colony of cottages. or some other plan of accommodations that will be permanent, in spot selected by the committed. Lake Mary was suggest ed. The committee's authority was not limited, nor was it suggested that they stop with the work outlined above; but they were asked to do that much.

HUNTS GRAB HINGES ON
 WORD "OTHERWISE"

On the one word, otherwise" hangs the fate of the salary claim of for mer Governor George w. P. Hunt for $4,529.51, which was being argued be- fore the state supreme court Tuesday. If the court decides that the meaning of this word as it occurs with refer ence to salaries in the constitution is the same as Attorney Louis B. Whit ney, representing Hunt, says it means, then the letters of the word "other- wise" will be worth about $500 apiece to the former governor.
 Whitney argued that the constitu- tion provides that the salaries of the governor and other public officers shall be so and so until otherwise provided by the legislature. When the legislature of 1917 passed a law in- creasing the pay of the chief executive from $4,000 to $6,00O per year it was the intention of carrying out the "oth- erwise" provision in the state consti- tuition, argued Whitney, who went a step further in claiming that the force of the word is to nullify the other constitutional provision that the pay of officers shall not be increased dur ing their terms of office.
 Associated with Whitney is George Purdy Bullard.
 Attorney Will E. Ryan made an able presentation of the issues in behalf of State Auditor Boyce, he being asso- ciated in the case with Attorney Gen. eral Wiley E. Jones.
 One of the peculiarities presented in the hearing was that the attorney general is opposed by his chief assist ant in the office. Another is that Mir Jones is in effect forced to take issue against himself, in that he, too, has a salary suit pending under the same law.
 The Hunt case represents an appeal from the findings of Judge R. P. Stan ford of Maricopa county. Judge Stan ford issued a writ of alternative man. damus against Boyce, and the latter appealed.
 The case is similar in issue to that which was decided by the supreme court few days ago, when it ruled that superior court judges were not entitled to increased pay under a law passed during their tenure of office.

LABOR SUPPLY JUST
 ABOUT EQUALS DEMAND

The local demand for men and the available supply are just about equal ing each each other, according to Geo. Timberlake, local examiner for the U. s. Employment Service. The office is daily bringing numbers of men and positions together and has found a place for large usefulness in northern Arizona.
 Expert farm hands are in greater demand now than any other class; but some men come in every day to fill the calls of the day before. Mir. Tim berlake says the only two classes he has surplus in are expert chauf- fers-boys who have driven Ford half mile; and moving picture cow boys-men who have heard that Bill Hart drew big salary and who saw Tom Mix here last summer. These two classes patiently wait the big op- portunity for their talents while real jobs call in vain.

COLLIS MAYFLOWER
 VISITING IN PARIS

John Sheehan has just received a very interesting letter from Collis Mayflower, with the A. K. F. in France. Mayflower was formerly a saw filler for the Arizona Lumber & Timber Co.,, and has many warm friends here who are always glad to get news of him. He writes of a trip to Paris and the hope of getting home, But let the letter speak for itself:
 American Expeditionary Force,
 April 19, 1919. Dear Friend John:
 Wrote to you about a month ago from La Bazoge, and as the mail is going good now, suppose you got it all O. K.; anyway, since that time moved to another little town, St. Jean de-Asse, where we only stayed a few days, and l am now in Beaumont. Am on duty now in Beaumont, taking an other mans place while he is away on pass, Will probably stay here until we come home now.
 Although 1 liked it out in the little towns where there were only eight or ten of us, we had so much time to ourselves and no officers much to contend with. Saw everything there was to see down around Le Mans, so am satisfied; and had n pass to Paris; stayed there four days and three nights; kept on the go all the time and saw lot-The I2 Hides, Napoleon's Tomb, Eiffel Towen rode the big fer ris wheel, took i,. the Trocadero, No. Ire Dame, Io,avre Museum, besides all the old statues, bridges, such as Al exander Iii, columns aHd shafts on the street squares, Marsh yoffre,s mead. quarters, American "a Frencn oi1ice buildings, T5sumpiant Arch, the wal pict,ure Pantheon della Guerre, and dozens of other places, and spent one day at Versailles and the old palace saw the hall and table where peace will be signed. This hall measures PA feet by 34 feet. This palace is a wonderful place.
 There is a rumor afloat that we are to be assigned and sent home soon. Hope there is something to it don't like to put too much faith in an army rumor; but things do point that way now, as the division that is in here now-the 29th-is the last to be in our zone of this area, and we should be through.
 Sincerely, your friend,

ARIZONA CHALCEDONY
 TO REPRESENT STATE IN
 WASHINGTON MONUMENT

Final arrangements to obtain Ari- zona's chalcedony contribution to the Washington monument have been completed, it was announced yester- day. The slab of chalcedony, or petri- fled wood, from the Chalcedony forest, is to be selected by the forests custo- dian, William Nelson, and shipped to Los Angeles to be dressed and suitably inscribed. A short while ago it was discovered that Arizona, unlike the other states, was not represented by a stone in the Washington monument. Federal authorities called the states attention to the fact, and as a result, a slab of petrified wood, four feet long, two feet wide and six inches thick, will be sent to fill the breach.
