Frederick D. Seeley

Frederick D. Seeley, 50, one of our most respected and we'll liked citizens, passed away at the Litchfeld County Hospital, Winsted, on Satur- day, March 4th, following an opera tion for appendicitis. The news of his death came as a great shock to his host of friends, as he had only been i'll few days. On Wednesday he underwent an operation, which at first was thought to be successful, but pneumonia followed, causing his death. Fred, as he was known by everyone had lived in Salisbury many years, and few months ago pur- chased the Bishop house on Main Street. The funeral was held at the hrme on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. Allen Treat officiating. The bearers were w. P. Russell, Howard Curtis, Walter Angus, Wal ter Robinson, E. c. Williams, G. E.. Parsons, Fred Marston. The Knights of 'Pythias, of which the deceased was a member, attended in a body. The profusion of beautiful flowers in pillars, wreaths, pillows and num- erous smaller pieces showed the high esteem in which the deceased was held. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Jessie Seeley, to whom the
 deepest sympathy is felt, in this, her great bereavement.

TOMB OF SIR WALTER SCOTT

A visitor to the tomb of Sir Walter Scott thus describes the resting place of the famous author:
 He was laid to rest in Dryburgh abbey. Dryburgh. eight or nine miles from Abbotsford, has all the beauty of surroundings which Melrose lacks. The latter is more magnificent ruin. but the charm of Dryburgh, beautiful though 1t is in itself, lies in its setting. in the open sweeps of perfect turf, in the great beeches, the cedars of Lebanon, and immemorial yews (some of which were reported to be coo years old in Scott's day), and in the Tweed his beloved river-which flows here close by below steep sandstone banks. It is lovely spot, in which he has lain now for almost century beside his wife

c. c. Compton, superintendent of the Flagstaff self-supporting tourist camp grounds, is carefully studying the effect on local trade of those who camp there. Last summer he took twenty cars that stopped here three or four days. He found out what each spent here. The smallest amount was S8. Six cars left more than 800 each; four cars more than $100 each, one car $365.
 When one considers that at the height of the season there are never less than 75 cars in the camp grounds and that, besides, there are many more that camp elsewhere nearby or stay at the hotels, the importance of the tourist trade to Flagstaff be- comes evident.
 Tourists like Flagstaff, it's climate and it's people. They like our city camp grounds in among the giant pines, convenient to town, with wood, water, lights, sanitation and police protection. They like the genial, ac- commodating superintendent, Mir. Compton, who gets acquainted with them the first day and the second day has known them all their lives. They advertise Flagstaff and the camp grounds, and we may expect the number coming here to increase steadily. AS the number increases, business increases. Also the revenue from the park increases, and as the city has no intention to make a profit from the park, but will put all ex- cess over expense back into improve ments, its increasing convenience will bring increasing popularity. It's a perpetual motion proposition, the wheels constantly increasing speed.
 From the 18th when the camp grounds were opened for the summer, to the 22nd, more than a hundred tourist cars registered there. One of the men spent $10O in repairs alone. But the grocers, the curio dealers, the haberdashers, restaurant men, practically every class of busi- ness man benefits directly, while those who do not get so much direct benefit get a lot indirectly through the increased prosperity of their fel- low merchants.
 The Sun, for instance. Our gross business this year from tourists wont amount to $50. But we don't pretend for an instant that the tourist busi- ness isn't profitable to us far beyond that, because we are benefited by anything that helps the rest of us.
 Be friendly and helpful to the tour ist. Every time you win the grati- tude of one of them you help your town. Help make them feel this is a friendly town, good place to com. to. Those who never come back will tell others.
 Anyhow, friendliness is like mercy, 1t blesses both him who gives and him who receives.

dressed up in new suit of clothes He said that, by his brothers death he had fallen heir to the outfit. That fall he left with the outfit. I did not see him again until the spring of 1892. l met him in the woods. He was lying beside log which he had set fire to. There wasn't much blaze, but the smoke curling over him kept him warm, so he said. He was dressed in a shirt, overalls, shoes without socks, a slouch hat, and a long linen duster.
 As we were both going to Flag staff, l permitted him to ride be- hind me, upon my horse. After riding on for some time, we came to a sheen camp. Big Ed decided that he would have something to eat. There was no one in camp. The camp was we'll stocked with food and the evening meal was already mostly prepared. There was fresh baked bread, and an immense pot of beans was upon a hot bed of ashes. Ed helped himself to all he wanted, while I remained on my horse because l had had my din ner. Then, to my disgust, he cut up about a peck of onions, skins and all, dumped them into the beans and with a burnt stick used for a fire poker, he stirred up the mess. He explained that this mixture yas good enough for a sheep herder. After expressing my opinion of his conduct, l rode away and left him there. never saw him again. He probably never came to Flagstaff. I can make only guess as to what had happen ed, had he been found in camp
 Judge Milligan would remember him. Perhaps some others of the old timers as well.

ARSENIC IN MANY FOODS

It has long been known that traces of arsenic are to be found not only in human and animal organism, but in certain plants, such as the cabbage, turnip and potato, and in wheat, Jalin and Astruc, members of the French Academy of Sciences have shown that arsenic is also to be found ia rice, peas, beans, lettuce, celery, asparagus, parsnips and in most vegetables used as food by man, as well as in apples, pears, pineapples, oranges and nuts, Since plants undoubtedly get the ele- ment from the soil, arsenic must occur far more widely in nature than was at one time supposed.

FLAGSTAFF NORMAL NORTHERN ARIZONA
 ATHLETIC WINNERS

For three consecutive years N. A. N. s. has won the northern Arizona championship for field and track meets held at Flagstaff. Three years ago M. l. Powers of Flagstaff offer ed beautiful silver championship cup to the northern Arizona track team that should win the field meet for three consecutive years. Last Friday, and Saturday, Winslow, Williams and Emerson sent their teams to try to take the cup away from the Normal. They failed. The cup now belongs to N. A. N. S. with no more chance of ever losing it and no other school has ever had its name upon it. Winslow is given credit for putting up a hard fight and making the Nor mai work for all they got. Williams was their highest individual scorer, making 21 points. The Williams high and Emerson schools displayed very good spirit and real sportsmanship during the event, although they did not win many points. John Hamblin of the Normal, won the highest individual score for the meet, making 23 points. Lawrence Campbell made second highest score for the Normal by winning nine points. Campbell also threw the dis GUS two feet over the highest record made but was ruled out for going two inches over the line. Roland Hamb- lin of the Normal made six points without training.
