SHERIFF BRINGS MAN
BACK FROM LOUISIANA

Sheriff Campbell had to make an
other trip to Springville, La, the
first of the month, this time bringing
back Dan Owens, lumberjack for a
while at the Saginaw & Manistee
Lumber company camp, who had, it is
alleged, passed bum $3.50 check on
Alex Kirakou of Williams.
Campbell, it will be remembered,
went to that same town last month
after Hemeter, a foreman for the
same company, alleged to have mis-
appropriated funds entrusted to him
to pay off his men. The supreme
court of Louisiana will not pass ON
the habeas corpus proceedings in that
case until October Is.
Owens lawyer had started habeas
corpus proceedings but had delayed
filing the papers. Owens was out on
bond and the sheriff slipped into town
after having had Governor Parker of
Louisiana endorse the extradition pa
pers, and in an hour had Owens out
of town and soon had him out of the
local courts jurisdiction. He got back
here with him Tuesday morning, hav-
ing been gone just about week.

BILLY SWITZER WILL
OPEN DRUG DEPARTMENT

Billy Switzer will open up in a
short time with a big new stock of
drugs and sundries, and is now busy
making room in his store by closing
out his stock of mems furnishings.
The drug department will be locat-
ed in the front two-thirds Of the store
on the north side.
John Seay, who until short time
ago worked here for the Breen-Lewis
Drug company, and who since then
has been working in a Prescott drug
store, will manage the drug business
for Mr.. Switzer. Mr.. Seay is now in
Los Angeles buying supplies and will
be here the last of this week to hus-
tie things into place as they arrive.
Mr.. Switzer's long residence here
in fact, he has been here so long he
knows nearly everyone in the country
and his reputation through many
years of business life as a square
shooter, progressive business man and
hustler, and Mr.. Seay's well-known
high qualities as drug man and good
salesman make strong combination
and the new venture will undoubtedly
win success from the start.

NO LONGER FIGHTING Each. OTHER, SHEEP AND
CATTLE MEN ORGANIZED TO FIGHT TOGETHER
ANOTHER PASSENGER
ENGINE Is UNCOUPLED
BY BUNS; ACCIDENT?

Was it an accident this time-the
uncoupling Of the engine of east-bound
passenger train No. % from the rest
of the train?
It happened a few days ago, just
the other side of Winslow.
The engineer soon discovered what
had happened and went back to his
train. The two men stealing a ride
just behind the coal tender, when
they saw the engine coming back,
beat it.
They were arrested and are in coun-
ty Jail in Flagstaff. They gave their
names as Paul Allen of Des Moines,
Iowa, and Carl Latham of Ranger,
Texas. The latter is about 28 and
the other %. They were caught at
Sunshine, this side of Winslow and
admitted uncoupling the engine, as
serting it was an accident"
They were given go days each,
charged with vagrancy, and in the
meantime the sheriff's officers are
looking up their records.
The sudden stopping of the coaches
when the air-brakes went on stood
some of the passengers on their heads,
almost, but no one was hurt.
1t was only about three weeks ago
that three boys cut the engine of No.
Z loose this side of Williams and the
engineer didn't discover it until he
had stopped at Williams. Then he
had barely time to get back to the
train and snake it in to avoid the
schedule of another fast passenger
train following. Those boys, all in
their teens, were paroled.
The local officers say this first "ac-
cidental" uncoupling of an engine was
the first ever reported here. And
now comes this other. They believe
these accidents are getting altogether
too frequent. Whether robbery was
the motive Of the uncoupling Of the
engine of No. % they are not prepar-
ed to say. But they are suspicious
and whether their suspicious are in
creased or allayed depends good deal
on the report they get on the past rec
ords of the two men now in Jail.

) But the change from the recent days
of violence have been no more marked
than the change that is even more
rapidly taking place in both branches
of the industry.
AS they stopped fighting each other
they began to wake up to the fact
that there were much more desperate
enemies to fight, to fight determined
ly, increasingly, together, as allies.
And that reyiving fighting spirit
dominated the convention just closed.
They came to fight. They organized
to fight better They left determined
to fight to the end, to force victory
over the enemies that seek to destroy
their industry-unfair market men;
exorbitant commission men; slip-shod
methods of breeding, conducting the
range, marketing; animals that de-
stroy the range; diseases that destroy
the livestock; unfair transportation
rates.
It's organization. More than ever
before are they awake to the need Of
determined, thorough organization,
with money and brains at the COM
mand of their associations.
The meeting, which was we'll at
tended, accomplished lot in the di-
rection of more effective organiza-
ton. Also in stimulating the militant
spirit of the members.
Much of this is due to the bigness,
courage and ability of the presidents
of the two national associations-both
of whom were here. Outspoken,
brainy, wide-awake business men of
force, character and personality,
awake to the need of thorough organ
ization and determined to have it,
these two unpaid national leaders, Ha-
genbarth and Bixby, hammered un-
ceasingly and well along this line and
accomplished great deal.
One of the outstanding features of
the convention was the decision of the
state cattlcmen to incorporate their
association and hereafter to do their
cwn marketing.

DEATH OF H. E. CAMPBELL
END OF HONORABLE AND
LONG LIFE OF SERVICE

State Senator Hugh E. Campbell
has lost his brave fight against death.
He passed away this morning at four
o'clock at his home here in Flagstaff,
surrounded by beloved and loving
members of his family.
For days it had been known that
death could not be long deferred. The
patient, sturdy and unafraid, suffering
intensely from his malady, cancer of
the intestines, had been steadily grow
ing weaker though it was not until a
few days ago that the end was known
to be only matter of days.
Mr.. Campbell grew much worse on
Tuesday of this week and since then
had some of the time been in semi
conscious state.
The news of death coming just as
The Sun has to go to press, makes it
impossible to give as extended an ac-
count of his long, successful and hon-
orable career as The Sun and its

EX- GOVERNOR CAMPBELL
BELIEVES u. S. WILL AGREE
Photo by Mayhem.

Former Governor Tom Campbell
was an interested visitor in Flagstaff
during the stockmen's convention this
week. He was on his way to the
White Mountains by auto with his son
Brodie. He is very much interested in
the outcome of the conference be-
tween the United States and Mexico
now in progress and is very hopeful
that an aInicable agreement will be
reached in which the United States
will recognize Mexico. This will mean
great influx of capital to the south
ern republic from the United States.
The agrarian and petroleum questions
seem to be the two points yet to be
settled and are of course the most
important features of the conference.

The Coconino sun., 1923-07-13

During his trip Mr.. Campbell
visited q of the states of Mexico.
While he had previous acquaintance
with many of the national and state
officials, including President Obregon,
Mr.. Campbell found that he had
known very little about Mexico prev
ious to this trip.
More than half the people of Mex
leo are Indians. Forty per cent are
half-breeds. Fifteen per cent are
Spanish, American and European.
The Indians are Apache and Mon
golian in type.
Most of the whites went to Mexico
with the sole purpose of making mon
ey and living easy. The knowledge of
this fact, and the fact that we took
from Mexico by conquest three-fifths
of their country, which they still
think they have a right to, and our
failure to grant their government rec
ognition are factors making them less
friendly toward us. However, their
antipathy is greater against the Span
iards than against any other nation
atty. There seems to be no thought
of war against us. Their com plants
do not reach that stage.
1t is the failure of the United States
to recognize their present government
and consequent refusal of recogni-
tion by England, France and Belgium,
that has placed Mexico in worse in
dustrial straits than before in many
years. Because the people there are
waiting for credit, which can only fol-
low recognition.
Germany has recognized the present
Mexican government and today is sup
plying that country with all it's hard
ware and chemicals except sewing ma
chimes, typewriters and agricultural
implements, and Germans are estab-
fishing retail stores all over Mexico.
The industrial embargo against
Mexico by the United States, and
consequent like embargo by England.
France and Belgium, means that al
most no foreign money is going to
that country except the worthless pa
per marks of Germany. If it were not
for that Mexico probably would not be
praying for recognition. When recog-
milton comes there will be an econom-
ical waking up in that country.
It is just as easy to travel in Mex
leo as in the United States except they
have not our limited train service.
Transportation there is much cheaper
than here. 1t is also just as safe to
travel there as here.
There is big opportunity for agri-
cultnrists and stockmen from this
country in Mexico, but local people
Should confine themselves to the west
coast. The soil is rs per cent virgin.
There is lots of water. But if any
from this country go into Mexico and
acquire lands they should be very,
careful about their titles, for very
few titles are good.
AS. for the working man or man
with moderate means, he should keep
out of Mexico for at least year af-
ter recognition and revival of indus
try, for there is no work there now
and no money to pay for it with.
Mexico is sort of west of the fu-
ture and for the next 25 to so years
following the establishment of stable
conditions will present the same virgin
opportunities for development that our
west presented to the east few years
ago.
Mr.. Campbell found our diplomatic
representatives in Mexico men of un-
derstanding and high calibre.
