WEATHERFORD SAYS
 ROAD WILL BE BUILT

John Weatherford says that road to the San Francisco Peaks is going to be built.
 The Los Angeles gentlemen employ ed by MT. Weatherford to sell stock here were too easily discouraged, he believes. They came here apparently with the idea that they could sell the stock in two or. three days and during their stay put the proposition up to only three or four men. Failing to get them to invest as heavily as they had anticipated, the salesmep threw up their hands and the job.
 However, Mir. Weatheford is un- dismayed. He feels that it will not be difficult matter, once Flagstaff peo- pie thoroughly understand his propo- sition, to get sufficient number inter- ested to take care of the stock that he feels ought to be subscribed here. He has an agreement with Frank Murphy, the well-known contractor, who will do the grading for the road, taking his pay in stock, and has other outside financiers interested to such an extent that, as he explains it, he has "a very good body" around which to build the plan to ultimate success.
 Mir. Weatherford feels that the road would pay at least ten per cent, net, the first year, and that the dividends in succeeding years should not fall be- low 20 per cent.

OH, YES! MOST FORGOT;
 DENIS MEET NEXT WEEK

There isn't near the local interest in the democratic national convention, to be held next week in San Francisco, that there was in the republican con vention at Chicago.
 The conviction, growing steadily, that Wilson will be the third-time nominee of the party is causing the cold chills to dart up and down the spinal columns of local democrats. Most of them admit that they are very, very tired of Wilson. Those who don't admit it, fail to show any enthusiasm over the imminency of his renomination.
 Certain it is that Wilson will get the nomination if he can. He will de- mand the privilege of going before the people, riding the donkey, all equip ped with league of nation trappings; and it looks very much now as though Billy Bryan will have hard time of it in his attempt to put some other kind of saddle on the mule.
 Six of Wilson's cabineteers have gone to Frisco to help steer things the way their chief wants them steer ed. It will be a hot fight, and there is some talk of changing the two- thirds rule to majority rule.
 l.. B. Lanahan is the delegate from these parts. He will be at the con- vention, as will also Assistant County Attorney Geo. w. Harben, who plan ned to leave last night. George holds the proxy of w. C. Rittenhouse, of Williams, alternate from this county.
 The democrats of Arizona, in choos- ing delegates to the convention, pass ed the honors around as much as pos sible, electing half and quarter dele gates in many instances. Word has gone out that a delegate must be whole delegate; from which arises much uncertainty as to just which of the Arizona fractions will ultimately get convention voting privileges.

BOTH FLAGSTAFF TEAMS
 WON LAST SUNDAY

Stock in Flagstaff Battery A base ball team is now away above par. They added to their rapidly accumu- lating string of victories last Sunday by defeating the fast Clarkdale team in one of the cleanest, most interest ing games ever seen on these grounds.
 Several automobile loads of good Clarkdale sports accompanied Man ager Wm. B. Souls and his team up here. They arrived supremely confi- dent. They rooted like mad until Flagstaff's half of the second inning was we'll under way. Then our boys began slamming the Clarkdale pitch CT, getting five runs in that inning and four in the next.
 May pitched fine game. Every position in the Flagstaff out and in fields was handled with snap and pre- cision. Manager Lorren Cress has a brainy, speedy, ambitious bunch that it will take some team to beat. o. Connor, on third, Browning, receiving, Gilliland, the new short stop, Gray and Carlson each contributed largely to the victory, both by timely bingles and fast fielding.
 The summary follows:

PETITION TO MODIFY GAME
 LAWS MEETS DISFAVOR

An initiative petition to get extens- i've notifications of the state game laws on the ballot this fall was circu- lated here the first of the week by w. n. Larson. of Lakeside, district game warden, whose territory covers North ern Coconino county, Western Apache county and all of Navajo county. The petition asks for the creation of a commission, to be known as the Ari- Zona conservation commission and among many other changes in the ex- lstlng game laws puts both the open ing and the closing of the deer and turkey season two weeks later, and makes the open trout season from June 1 to November 15, which is a two-and-a-half-month longer open sea- son than at present.
 Most of the local sportsmen object to the latter proposition. Notwith- standing that Mir. Larson explained that the law could be modified later to suit local conditions and wishes, it is generally felt by local people that tourists and visitors get most of the benefit from the trout fishing at Oak Creek, and that to extend the season will result in depletion of the stream. spelling the sport for local vacation ists. They feel that it is doubtful policy signing a petition extending the season by two and half months on a promise to modify the law later, in- asmuch as later it may be beyond the province of the present game warden to fulfil any such promise.

GOT TOGETHER AT GET
 TOGETHER" MEETING

The "get-together" meeting of county democrats at the court house last Friday night was well attended. In that respect, at least, they got to- gether. Prospective candidates kept wary eyes on each other and, perhaps out of consideration for each others aspirations, failed to announce them selves for coveted offices.
 Among those who spoke were Coun- ty Attorney Frank M. Gold, Assistant County Attorney Geo. w. Harben, Mayor Sam F. Quay, Jimmie Patten, W. c. Rittenhouse, Ben Sweetwood, i, Supervisor Lou Charlebois, M. A. Murphy and Mercer Hemperley-the latter several times. Some of his po- litical compatriots are nervously won dering whether MT. Hemperley has se- lected himself as director for this year of the county democratic affairs.
 John Garrett is the latest avowed candidate for sheriff, which makes four the democrats now have-J. D. Dunn, Tom Wagner and Bobby Burns being the others.

 Rev. Father c. Vabre married Cliff J. Kramer, 30, and Miss Josephine Rowe, 2S, both of Flagstaff, on Mon- day. Farther particulars of this we'd ding are given in the society columns. Father Vabre also married Abinicio Gurule, 23, and Delphina Ramirez, both of this county.

 They have thirty head of bronchos still to be tried out to see whether they come up to the bucking stands ard required for entry into the big show, and in addition will have two fancy horse races, bulldog two steers from an automobile and have a steer breakaway.
 The public may attend, and probably will turn out in force, as there prom ises to be lot of excitement. An ad- mission fee of fifty cents will be charged, the purpose being to use the money obtained in that way to help pay the men helping to try out the horses.

NEW FLAGSTAFF ARMORY
 TO HAVE NATATORIQM

The exact location of the new arm ory building and stable for Battery A have been staked out and actual con struction will doubtless begin about the middle of July.
 The armory will be of concrete, 75x 200 feet, 15 feet to caves, with peak ed roof. The main room will be 75x 16O feet. The other part will be con crete floored, with room for offices, shower baths, and toilets for both men and women. Over this part of the building will be storerooms.
 Battery Commander E. M. Robison IS now planning swimming pool for the armory, to be used by ladies af- ternoons and battery members even- lngs. Water will be piped from Old ioWn spring, assuring constant, fresh supply.

Sullivan and Kelly's town team played mixed aggregation at Hol- brook, the latter's lineup comprising the star players from several towns. But our boys were quite equal to the occasion.
 The game was featured by Flag staff's heavy hitting and the superb pitching of Howard, for Flagstaff. The big old Indian boy struck out sixteen men. Horne, Lowry, Howard and Greeley each got three hits; Lawhead two and Spencer one-a total of flf- teen bingles. The lineup for Flag staff was: Osler, 2b.; Hogan and Daugherty, c. f.; Horne, l.f.; Howard, D.; Lawhead, 3b.; Kennedy and Trav- is, 1b.; Lowry, rf.; Spencer, s.s.;. Greeley, c.
 Each team made two errors. Reuter-, for Holbrook, struck out only two men.
 Score-Flagstaff, 10; Holbrook, 2.
 Next Sunday the battery team plays Kingman, the so-far-unbeaten team of Northern Arizona, on these grounds. The Kingman team and fans will ra- rive Sunday morning in two special Pullmans. They will arrive just as confident as Clarkdale did last Sun day. The rest of the story is yet to be unfolded. Clarkdale had about as much cause for confidence as King man has, for they had beaten Jerome
