 There are instances to the con- trary. Cleopatra chose the fatal bite of the asp to living without her lover and without her empire. Kings have, usually. not been so proud.

HALF OF ROOSEVELT LAKE
 OPENED TO DUCK HUNTERS

Thomas E. Mccullough of Flag staff, president of the Northern Ari- zona Game Protective association, has received word that an order has been issued by the U. s. secretary of agri.. culture opening the east half of Roosevelt lake for the hunting of ducks and geese. The other half of the lake will remain a bird reserve, where no hunting will be allowed, giving the ducks and geese chance to breed, without being molested. From the time the Roosevelt dam was built, the entire lake has been a bird reserve, with no hunting allowed. The sportsmen of the mining districts at Globe and Miami, and many of the hunters of the Salt River valley asked that a part of the lake be opened for hunting during the season, which is what hastened the giving of the present order.

"BUCKY" DWELL LEFT FINE
 RECORDS, SAYS CROSBY

George H. Crosby, Jr., who is com piling records of this county's prop erty from the old books of Yavapai county, of which this county was once a part, discovered during last weeks search of the old probate records at Prescott that two of the probate judges there in the past were very thorough in their work in contrast to others who held that office. The two were Judge Hicks and Capt. "Bucky' O'Neill, who was killed in Cuba dur ing the Spanish-American war.
 Mir. Crosby says the search reveal ed, also, the names of good-sized towns that once existed not far away, even the names of which are now for gotten. Tollgate and Alexandria are two such former towns.
 Before the Civil war there were about 15,000 people in Arizona. The war drew away the soldiers, and with their protection gone, many of the settlers went also, until when, after the war, Arizona was admitted tC territorial rights, there were only about 5000 people outside of Indians within it's boundaries.

JOHN T. STONE SERVICE
 MAN, BURIED SUNDAY

John T., Stone, the young employe of the Southern California Edison Co.,, who was taken ill with appendicitis at Lees Ferry and who died follow ing an operation by Dr. Hannett of Gallup at Mercy hospital, was buried here Sunday afternoon in the G. A. R. cemetery.
 The young mans death, following his 24-hour ride across the desert to Flagstaff, was pathetic. He was an honorable, fine young man and was company mechanic for Co. l., 158th infantry, A. E. F. He was born in Elevendorf, Texas, in 1887.
 Tom Stone, his brother, read of his death in The Coconino Sun in Phoe- nix, where he happened to be for a day and came here at once. The Ed ison people, on receipt of wire from here announcing the death, wired $50 toward burial expenses, part of the balance being made up from Red Cross funds. Rev. Francis Bloy of Mesa conducted the funeral services, held at the Flagstaff undertaking parlors, and the pall-bearers were w. R. McClurken, w. E. Berry, Wm Booker, Ralph Davis and Durward Mckinney.
 Dr. R. O. Raymond, who attended Stone, and who, after his death tried to notify his relatives, received let ter this week from friend of Stones Mrs. H. F. Griswold, of Phoenix whose son was Stones buddy in the army. She spoke in glowing terms ot the dead boy, who, she said, before the war worked at the Evans school near Mesa and enlisted the day after war was declared.

BOY SCOUTS BACK
 FROM CAMP KOCH

Smiling clear through heavy coats of healthy tan, fifteen boys and leaders arrived in Flagstaff Sunday morning after a joyous outing at the Boy Scout camp in Oak Creek. Generous hearted Rotarians met the boys at the rim and brought them to Flagstaff by machines and on the trip learned about the good eats, swims, studies, hikes and other stunts that went to make the camp a won derful recreational and character building outing.
 While the camp has been one grand vacation for the boys, it has not all been play. The Scouts have so much work to do each day and when it is done they are free to carry on with recognized recreational stunts!
 Tramps, hikes through the forests, swimming, fishing and many other branches of camp life are on the books as okeh for each Scout. Often their work was combined with pleas ure, with beneficial object lessons re- sulting. True appreciation of nature, love of all wild plants and animal life, and a helping hand for everyone at all times are some of the lessons taught and brought home through the woodcraft taught in the daily routine of camp life.
 By far the most popular place, where young, active and growing boys are concerned, were the mess tent and the cook tent, the latter presided over by Jerry McGaugh, and if you want to know anything about Jerry's abil- ity to cook just ask B. Cameron, V. Cummings, F. Collins, F. Harrison, w. Harrison, w. Lusk, B. Metz, c. Prochnow, R. Prochnow, B. Raude- baugh, w. Took, and R. Bremke and c. Mayes from Winslow, and they will acclaim with one accord, "Hooray for Jerry's chocolate pudding"
