Slavery is not officially recognized, but

free to change his master; he is put

of escaping; he is beaten If he does
not work or march at the will of his
master, and he receives no pay. On
the other hand, If he can be "present-

Nelson Grant
Bridal Party

The Nelson-Grant we'd
ding, which took place
Monday evening at the
First Presbyterian church,
was an interesting social
event of the week.
The bride is the daughter
of Colonel and Mrs. Frank
A. Grant. Colonel Grant
was in charge of the quar-
termasters department here
during the first months Of
the war and later was
transferred to Montreal,
where he was in charge of
the embarkation post at
that place. Since his
retirement he has selected
Omaha for his permanent
home.
The wedding was the
first wedding to be held in
the new First Presbyterian
church, at Thirty-fourth
and Farnam streets. It was
a large church affair with
many attendants. M i S s
Dorothy Grant, a sister of
the bride, was the maid of
honor and the Misses Alice
Duval of Montreal, Irene
N e Is SON, New Bedford,
Mass, Ann Hermansen and
Helen Grant were t h e
bridesmaids. The groom
was attended by Joseph
Grant of Seattle, Wash, as
best man, and the following
ushers: Lieutenant H i b =
bard, Fort Omaha, Lieuten-
ant Yates of the quarter
masters department, Harry
S. Byrne and Robert Hor-

wv ASHINGTON has taken on
w fresh atmosphere of activ-
w tivity. The extra session OF
congress has done its part toward
the spring festivities and crowded
conditions of streets and hotels, but
the returning soldiers and the var-
Gus conventions have had their
parts and are no small feature. The
summer weather is conducive to
ga, den parties and all fresco dinners,
which are sure to be feature of
the summer life here. No one ever
realized how many beautiful gar
dens there we're in Washington un-
til this manner of entertaining be-
came the fashion.
Close upon the heels of the lovely
garden fete in the Clemens home
in Georgetown, where the Japanese
masque "Sun Goddess" was given in
the al fresco theater covered with
blooming wistaria was the dinner
dance given by the major general
commandant of the marine corps
and Mrs. George Barnett in the gar
den of their home in the barracks
or Tuesday evening. They had 50
young people at dinner aid about
100 additional guests for dancing.
Small tables were laid in the garden
and a platform was erected at one
end for dancing. The Marine band
orchestra, each and every member
of which is personally devoted to
Mrs. Barnett, played throughout the
dinner and for the dancing until the
wee small hours Of the morning. A
seated supper was served at /
o'clock and everyone has been en-
thusiastic over the party.
AL fresco tea is quite the regula-
ton afternoon diversion, and a
steady stream of autos and carriages,
may be found on all the suburban
roads, going to and coming from
some one of the many between
seasons homes of Westinghouse.
Tea is almost as much of neces-
sity to the leisure class i'll this coun-
try now as it is i'll England.

girls, who declared it was one of
the most interesting and thrilling
experiences of their lives. 1t is an
actual fact t at they danced with
men who had but one leg and a
"peg-stick." The agility of the men
with wooden legs is but a part of
what has been accomplished in re-
construction work, as we'll as in sci
ence, for, of course, the wooden
members are made with greater per
lection than ever before. The Ak
Sar-Bens are joining witt, the Ne
braska association in a reception to
the four new republican members
of the Nebraska delegation and
their families. There will be but a
small party of families" but the
reception will be success, never
theless. The date has not been
fixed, but it will be early next
month. On the first Saturday OF
each month they give dance, invit-
ing Nebraska men.
Mrs. Russell B. Harrison and her
cousin, Mrs. Withers, spent the

suburbs of Norfolk. They are now

MRS. HERMAN BUILDS
 NEW WALDHAUS GARAGE

Another impetus to the near-im. pending Flagstaff building boom was given the other day when Mrs. J Herman awarded the contract for building new 50x140-foot, reinforced concrete, two-story garage and resi- dence building for Joe J. Waldhaus, the automobile man.
 Work on the new structure will be- gin within few days, the contractor, Elmer Brannen, of Prescott, arriving this week to get things going, and will be finished within 60 days.
 MT. Waldhaus said that as he sup poses he can't rent the Elks' tent for temporary headquarters while his old building is being torn down and the new one erected, he will probably have to put up temporary shack in the street.
 The building will cost pretty close to $20,000, it is reported. The gar- age floor will be concrete. The whole building will be steam heated, and the upper floor will be made into a mod ern apartment for the occupancy of MT. and Mrs. Waldhaus.

The plan to convert Switzer Canyon into lake and resort, as suggested by John Clark, the local merchant, and outlined in recent issue of the Sun, has created intense interest, and favorable comments are heard on all most every hand.
 the many prominent men who have been asked for opinions or who have themselves preached the subject, had a word to say against the plan; but every one of them spoke of it as feasi- ble, practicable, and consummation devoutly to be wished.
 If one may judge by what these hard-headed business men have said in favor of the idea to representatives of The Sun, the chief obstacle in the way of carrying the project forward to any early, complete, and glorious success, is the failure so far of any person or group of persons to take the lead in doing something more than merely talking about it.
 None of the men interviewed seem- ed to think the expense of making the canyon into a lake would be great, considering the many advantages that would accrue to our city and people. None of them believed that there is any engineering difficulty in the way. Several of them said they could see no reason why government and state appropriations could not be obtained to largely defray the expense of the building of the reservoir. They all agreed that once the lake was estab- ished outside capital would be almost certain to come forward to take care of hotel, cottages, and all the various concessions, providing our own peo- pie didn't grab up these various op- portunities first.
 And they all seem to realize that unless Flagstaff does do something in this direction, does provide place of entertainment, recreation and amuse- ment to offset those possessed by other resorts, there is no hope of the city's growth beyond the present very slow, natural rate of expansion.
 It is unanimously admitted that we have an opportunity right at our door to turn this city into 8 resort and recreation center that will have it all over anything else in the state and

ONE MAN KILLED
 ANOTHER IS INJURED
 BY INTENSE LIGHTNING

One man was instantly killed, an- other severely shocked and burned, and third narrowly escaped death from lightning during the severe storm of last Friday afternoon.
 All three men were Austrians, tree choppers for the Greenlaw Lumber Co. They were working about two and a half miles south of Cliffs when the storm came up, and sought shelter under. two big pines which were standing very close together. Matt Bouketta was learning upright against one tree; Fred Wassak and Mike Weefek were standing close to the trunk of the other tree.
 Both trees were struck by the same bolt, apparently, the one against which Bouketta was learning getting the hardest part of it. Wassak was only slightly shocked, not losing con- sciousness. He saw both of his com panions lying on the ground and ran to the camp for help.
 When the other men got there they saw that Bouketta was dead, but that Weefek was still breathing. They carried the latter to the camp and by vigorous rubbing of his arms and legs and the generous use of cold water re- stored him to consciousness, after which he was taken to Milton hospi- tai. He was painfully burned, but suffered more from nervousness than anything else, and in a few days will probably be all right.
 The bolt had made a hole in the left side of Bouketta's head, burned sev- eral big patches on his left leg, going out through his foot, tearing his sock to shreds, but, strangely enough, not damaging his shoe.
 Justice R. J. Kidd, Dr. T. P. Man ming, health officer; Dr. Scherman, and Assistant County Attorney Geo. w. Harben went to the scene of the accident. A coroner's jury was em- paneled from among the men at the camp. They rendered a verdict of &C., cidental death from lightning.
 The corpse was brought to the Flagstaff Undertaking Parlors, and embalmed, interment being postponed until it could be learned whether he had relatives living. The man, as far

 THE SWIIZER CANYON PROJECT

that will have very few equals in the United States. It is also admitted that, while our scenery is as good as any ever made by nature and better than anything man could make, still with the general run of people that frequent resorts, natural scenery is not by any means the prime consid- eration. What all people want first is comfort, plenty of room to live in, and lounge around in; next, they want a place to play.
 We have the scenery, the climate, the kind of people strangers like to meet-everything but the two things they want most: Places for them to sleep and a place to play.
 Water is as necessary to a resort as it is to growing crops. Neither can succeed without it. There must be convenient place for boating, fish ing, bathing, and specially for the two latter.
 So far, Flagstaff's hustlers all seem to take the "let-George-do-it" attitude toward the project, apparently being too much occupied with the affairs they have in hand to take on anything new. Everyone agrees that it can be done, that all it needs is live leader in whom the people have confidence.
 So we have the place, this is the time, but-where is the man?
 W. H. Power, of this city, former surveyor, is one man who knows all about the feasibility of the plan from an engineering standpoint. Nearly 20 years ago he made survey for the proposition then under discussion of diverting the River de Flag from it's course through town, into the canyon, which was to be damned, exactly as is now proposed, for a reservoir, from which water was to be piped east along the Santa Fe to Angel and Hubbard. The originators of the plan were John and Leo Verkamp.
 The course of the ditch as he laid it of was from the river tapping it just south of the road, running it south of the road through the Gregg property, crossing the road where the latter turns south, thence through the McMillan property, through the basin of the present larger reservoir, and almost due east to the canyon. The ditch would be about two miles long and empty into the canyon about three miles above the railroad. There is small divide where the road turns west near the reservoir, and here the ditch would have to be about six feet deep. This would be the deepest part, and after it reached the canyon the water has natural way into the lower end.
 The dam, as it was then planned, and as it probably would be now if the lake project were carried out, would be at the highway east from Flagstaff, the road at that point being built on the dam. The dam would be about thousand feet long and about fifteen feet high. The length of the lake, of course, depends on the height to which the dam could be built, but
The Coconino sun., 1919-08-22

with fifteen-foot dam it would prob ably be pretty close to mile long.
 The land the lake would flood be- longs to George. and Dave Babbitt, and the ditch would cross the Gregg, McMillan, R. E. Taylor and H. C.. Lockett properties.
 The lake would be half mile from town, and would be one of the pret- tiest little bodies of water to be found anywhere.
 Mr. Power is not sure that the lake wouldn't fill even without the diver sion of the river. In fact, he believes it would, as there is a big stretch of country draining into it. He says that there would be no difficulty, in case the river was tapped, in running the water around the reservoir. It would merely mean a slightly longer ditch than was planned when the old sur vey was made.
