DIR. M'MULLEN PLANS
 MORE MUSIC FOR FLAG.


 The Fort Valley experimental sta ! tion, the Normal school and the pro posed new roads from Winona to Flagstaff and from Flagstaff to Grand Canyon were the subjects discussed at yesterdays midday meeting of 1 the Boosters club.
 1 President l.. B. McMullen, of the Normal school, said that he believed Flagstaff could be made the musical center of Northern Arizona; that many of the great concert companies travelling in either direction, would be glad to break the monotony of the trip by stopping here, and that if the town would cooperate with the Nor maj school, he believed arrangements could be made with the booking of- fees. He said that it had been done where he was in Dakota, in 8. place only slightly larger than this, and they had booked some of the most eel i ebrated singers in the world. He also said that much more attention will be paid to music at the Normal school, and he hopes to organize a choral singing society, with the cooperation of musicians among the townspeople, with a possibility of being able to put on May festival
 Dr. McMullen also spoke of the ser ies of six lectures on astronomy, ar ranged through the courtesy of Mrs. Constance Lowell and others connect ed with Lowell observatory; the first lecture to be next Tuesday night, at i the auditorium, by Dr. Hamilton, of the observatory staff. These lectures will be in language that all can under stand, and will be highly interesting and educational. There will be no ad- mission, everyone being cordially in vited to attend.
 The question of whether or not to petition congress for an appropriation of S30,000 to continue the work at the Fort Valley experiment station, was brought up and held over for further action after the stockmen and Mir Pearson could be brought together al one of the club meetings; it being felt that the members do not sufficiently understand the various phases of the situation to be able to judge fairly of the merits of the case, some feeling that perhaps the stockmen are justi- fled in their oposition to the station Those taking part in the discussion were w. H. Switzer, F. w. Perkins Tom L. Rees, Joe P. Wilson and the chairman. MT. Stahl.
 Ed Babbitt announced that the pro. posed new road from Winona by way of the Cliff Dwellings to Flagstaff would be good with the building oi only about two miles of new road; also that the proposed new route from here through Fort Valley to Grand Canyon will afford fine road, with no bridg. ing or draws, mostly through cinders and will make a shorter and more see nic route than the present one. Jacl Fuss said that he lately had been ovel the proposed route, and had fount most of the road very good.
 Those present in addition to those above named were: Dr. A. J. Mack

It is reported that movement is under way for community Christmas tree, in which the Flagstaff Woman's club and various other organizations will share the expense and detail. The Elks are among the organizations that have signified willingness to "kick in'' with their share of the work and ex- pense. It has not been decided where the tree will be, but it likely will be in the new armory building, which will be nearly enough completed at that time and which will amply ac- commodate the crowd.

COUNTIES SUE FOR
 RETURN OF MONEY Continued from page 1.)

counties on the bonds as follows: Pima county, $204 ,124.55; Yavapai, $270,- S3S.7S; Coconino, S175,232.62, and Maricopa, $326, 6,217.S0. The complaint further asks that the defendants be commanded, after paying the current interest on the bonds from the land fund now in the treasury to appor- tion the remaining amount to each of the counties as follows: Pima, 20.9 per cent; Yavapai, 27.74 per cent; Co., conino, 17.95 per cent, and Maricopa, 33.4l per cent.
 Ask That Full Refund Be Made.
 The complaint asks the defendants be commanded to apportion all funds that may accumulate from the sale and rent of the lands in the future in excess of the next annual interest pay ment to the counties in the above pro- portion until all accrued interest claims are paid off. It asks that they be commanded, after the payment of the accrued interest claims, to pay Yavapai county $27,0OO for money paid out by this county in the redemp- tion of some of the bonds issued by it. After completing all of the above pay ments, the complaint asks that the defendants be commanded to pay the amount of the bonds in full as follows: Maricopa county, S209,500; Yavapai, S101, ,167.29, and Pima county, $318,- ! 79l.2
 The complaint was filed by l.. M. Laney, county attorney of Maricopa county, and C. B. Wilson, of Flagstaff, special attorney for the counties. It was signed by Kirke T. Moore, county attorney, and E. B. Frawley, deputy county attorney of Pima county; Neil c. Clark, county attorney, and E. s. Clark, deputy county attorney of Yav- apai county; F. M. Gold, county at- torney, and George w. Harben, dep- uty county attorney of Coconino coun- ty, and Mir. Laney and MT. Wilson. | According to the complaint, the
 bonds were issued by the counties un-
 der an act, No. 35, of the twelfth leg
 islative assembly, territory of Ari-
 zona, in 1883, entitled "An act to pro-
 mote the construction of a certain rail.
 road" Pima county, under the act
 was required to issue $200,000 ir bonds, Yavapai county to issue $292,. , 900, and Maricopa county to issue $200,000. In 1891, Coconino, formerly
 part of Yavapai, became a county
 and the boards of supervisors of these
 counties then apportioned the bond is sue, one-third to Coconino and the re mainder to Yavapai county. In tho validation of the bonds by congress
 the accrued interest at that time wa. ! added to the bonds, which increased the original issue to the present amounts asked for by each county a. the bond issue.
 Section 25 of the act enabling Ari
 zona to become state added a claus,
 that after the land had been sold ant 4 the bond issue refunded to the foul counties, the remainder of the lant
 fund was to go to the common schoo fund of the state. The county attor neys of each county interested and MT Wilson met in Prescott on June q and decided to file mandamus proceed ings. The state school board at tha
 time refused to enter the suit.

 School Week.
 A splendid impetus has been given educational matters in general by the wide-awake celebration of school week. Short, snappy talks at the Or pheum on various subjects showed our educational leaders aware of mistakes as well as of progress in certain school matters. Dr. McMullen showed the statistics pertinent to the shortage of teachers all over the country, using slides to demonstrate and drive home his points; Father Vabre spoke on Americanization and it's hope. Prof. Richardson spoke on the social prob lems to be met, especially in junior highs, and urged consideration of means to give adequate expression to the surplus energy among the stu dents. Community day dawned bright and fair and the response by the par ents was a credit to the pupils who long so to have an interest shown in their work. We are going to leave the other speeches and the program at the Federated church until next week in order to give if possible re. sume of the good things said and done
