GARRISON, HARVEY MAN,
GUIDED BY RIORDAN AND
MAYHEM TO SCENIC SPOTS

r. H. Clarkson, transportation man
ager of the Fred Harvey system, who
returned here a few days ago from
his office in Kansas City, brought a
moving picture man with him and T.
A. Riordan, president of the Flagstaff
chamber of commerce, on Sunday in
Quoted them into some of the fascin-
ations that exist in the vicinity of
Flagstaff.
They first visited some of the in
teresting old Indian ruins northeast
of Flagstaff, just off the Tuba City
road. When Mr.. Clarkson found how
numerous and impressive these ruins
are he became enthusiastic over their
possibilities as advertisements for this
section and lure to tourists. Mr. Rior-
dan has often visited the ruins and is
thoroughly familiar with them and the
legends concerning them and Mr..
Clarkson felt well repaid for the visit.
They got lot more material later
in the day. They visited Cameron to
give Mr.. Clarkson an opportunity to
take in the Indian horse races and
squaw dances, which he was anxious
to have filmed. The high wind sort
of knocked awry the plans for the In
dians for the day, but it was profitable
to the visitors, for they saw lot of
Indians, got some interesting film and
had an especially interesting interview
with old Chief Samali of the Nava-
jos, introduced to the world in the
last few months by Emerson Hough,
who featured hin in his great story,
The Covered Wagon, which is now
making such a hit on the silver screen.
Mr.. Riordan is convinced that the
new auto stage line which the Harvey
people are to run between Grand Can
yon and Flagstaff and which will be
extended to take in numerous scenic
points in all directions surrounding
Flagstaff, will eventually prove to be
profitable to the Harvey people. 1t
will also be big thing for Flagstaff
and will make the train tourists visit
to northern Arizona much more re-
vealing and interesting.
The big closed cars for the stage
line are now on their way west from
the factory.
Carl Mayhem, Flagstaff's "better
pictures" man, had Mr.. Carlson and
the movie man out on Saturday, TAX
ing them to the lower end of Lake
Mary and then to the ancient cliff
dwellings,. A lot of film was shot and
Mr.. Carlson thoroughly enjoyed what
he saw and fully appreciated its beau
ty and interest. Mr.. Mayhem has
been commissioned to shoot a lot more
movie film and, thoroughly in love as
he is with our scenery, he will get
some stuff that viii make splendid
advertising.
Messrs. England and Williams came
with Mr.. Clarkson, the former driving
for him and the latter handling the
movie camera.

WE'LL ALL BE
PROUDOFTHE
PLAYGROUND

Work on the new grandstand in city
recreation park is going on with
rush and it will be only few weeks
before Contractor Agren has it COM
pleted.
Street Superintendent Frank B.
Richmond has done a lot of grading
of the new baseball diamond and it
will be a dandy. The city can well
afford to be proud of the new recre-
alton grounds when all the work is
done. Mr.. Richmond is placing the
dirt taken from the diamond where it
is needed in grading the race track
and it will not take great deal OF
additional fill to put that into shape.
Contractor Ed Raudebaugh is hard
at work with big crew of men throw
ing the handsome new dam across the
river de Flag to impound lake.
The Flagstaffite who hasn't been
out that way since the work began
will be surprised and delighted when
he does visit the park. People of
other towns in Arizona will have
something to look at and wish they
had in their own towns when they see
our park. And tourists, enjoying the
advantages of the showers and rest
rooms and the big ballroom floor un-
der the grandstand will have all the
more reason to boost to others about
Flagstaff and the way it welcomes
visitors.

EVANS SCHOOL BOYS
RIDE 365 MILES AHORSE
TUCSON TO FLAGSTAFF

"Evancoyd," northwest of Flag
staff, where the Evans summer school
for boys is located, is open again, Mr..
and Mrs. H. D. Evans and the boys
arriving last week from the winter
school near Tucson.
Mrs. Evans and Mrs. Fred Walker
came up on the train, getting here
Friday. Messrs. Waldeck and Blake,
instructors, motored up, arriving the
same day. Carl Conway of New York,
father of one of the students, dropped
in to welcome his son, on his arrival
taking him to Los Angeles. Duncan
Sutphen's father came in from New
York Tuesday to take his son back
there for the summer vacation. Fran
els Hamlin of Milton, Mass, returned
east on Tuesday to stay until the
school at Tucson opens for the win
ter. Edwin Holmes, master at Tucson,
went with young Hamlin.
The main party, under the guidance
of Mr.. Evans, rode horseback the 365
miles from the winter school, which is
located 16 miles from Tucson. George
Burden, friend of Mr.. Evans from
Dubuque, Iowa, rode up with them
and left here by motor for the east.
Fred Walker, ranchero, did the cook
ing on the trip. The students in the
horseback party were: Thos. Beaham
of Kansas City; Horace Binney, Bos-
ton; Norton Conway, New York; Hugh
Curtis, Rock Island, H.; Francis Ham
lin, Milton, Mass; Duncan Sutphen,
New York; George Tupper, Boston;
H. M. Merriman, New York. The lat
ter, however, in some way injured his
knee near Pine and was brought the
rest of the way by auto and is now
at Mercy hospital.
The party left Tucson on April
27, riding into Flagstaff on Saturday,
happy, bronzed and rugged-looldng.
Most of the boys are sons of million
aires. Under the wise and sympathe-
tic direction of Mr.. Evans they get
education along with health and thor
ough training in self-reliance, re-
sourcefulness and outdoor activities.

IF YOU'RE HONIN TO
GET LICKED HERE'S A
DARNED GOOD CHANCE

Captain Harry B. Embach of Flag
staff Battery D has a new protege
among the members of the battery
who is spelling for a scrap. He just
aches to lick someone. He has been
licking someone every little while dur
ing the last few years and IS insat-
liable.
His name is Pat Herrera, middle
weight, who has a good record in New
Mexico, where he brciledsin the squar-
ed ring frequently. From his name it
is conjectured that he has an infusion
of Irish blood, and that'l be warning
to the light-minded to smile when they
get too roughly jocular with him.
Captain Embach has ideas of set
ting up a ring at the armory and is
suing a def to all and sundry who
have aspirations. Herrerra's presence
and willingness to mix may result in
revival of the manly sport here.
Anyhow, this peaceful-looking notice
constitutes a challenge. So, if you
feel lucky, knock on wood and if you
can get past the referee with chunk
of it in each hand, some along in and
paste the guy with the International
name.

COMMUNITY WELFARE
AND BOY SCOUT WORK
TOPICS BEFORE ROTARY

Frank NJ. Gold and Scout Executive
Myers were the chief speakers at
Tuesday Moons Rotary ensemble, and
both talked to the point and interest
ingly on the subjects assigned them.
Mr.. Gold had been embargoed into
the program by Billy Switzer, who
bottomed the chair for the day very
durably and applause elicitationously.
Mr.. Gold had been told to talk about
community welfare and he said:
Naturally everyone is or should be
interested in community welfare. We
all hope to make our community the
best community in the state--a COM
munity in which we can educate and
raise our families to be good, sub
stantial citizens and stand for the
right.
SIN this connection / desire to say
something relative to the disregard Of
law and the disobedience of law that
has been and now is growing up not
only in our community and the state
but in the nation as well. We must
concede that the contempt for law
has greatly increased in the past few
years.
"In all parts of the country not only
judges and lawyers, but the laymen
as well, are discussing the prevalent
spirit of lawlessness and their discus

LEGION GETS
BIG BAND FOR
CONVENTION

Guess it'll be some band we'll have
here June II, IL and 13, during the
state American Legion convention
Adjutant Joe Rickel of Flagstaff's
Mark A. Moore post, American Le-
gion, drops in with the good news
that it will be the 25th Regiment
band from U. S. barracks at Nogales
--42 pieces.
The boys are rushing along with
arrangements for the big convention.
There will be no detail overlooked.
They aren't making much noise, but
they're raising a lot of dust, and when
the delegates begin to arrive from
all over the state they will find a
ready and hearty welcome and every
thing fixed for their comfort and
amusement. The housing committee
is especially hard at work and is get
ing cooperation from every hand.
There are at least 1900 visitors ex-
pected and they'll all be taken good
care of.
Very soon, probably next week, The
Sun will print a complete program
of the convention. 1t is also being
printed in book form. Several thou
sands of these books will be broad
casted throughout the state.
Be certain of this: It's going to be
a dandy program. There'll be lot
doing. Every one who attends will
have a time that he will remember
during all the years to come.

ELKS ACCEPT BID ON
NEW LODGE BUILDING

At a special meeting of Elks last
night. called at the request of the
building committee, the action of the
committee, taken Tuesday night, IN
accepting the bid of Archie Grant for
the construction of the new lodge
room the Elks are to build was en-
dorsed. =,
The cost of the new lodge room will
be a little more than $4,000. Work
will begin at once.
When the Elks are settled in their
new home, the former Mansion house,
which will be in few days now, they
will have most convenient and hand
some quarters. And when the lodge
room extension is completed, which
will be before winter, it will be as
commodious and beautiful home as
any town of similar size in the whole
country can boast of. The big three
story and basement building, with its
4Ox8O foot extension and the beautl-
full grounds will make it home Flag
staff Elks may well be proud OF.
The lodge does not owe cent on
the present building, grounds and
furnishings. Indeed, some money was
left in the treasury after all were
paid for.
Two other bids were made on the
new building besides that OF Mr..
Grant, the others being w. B. Goble
and Agren & Mullen, the latter two
bidding together. Mr.. Grants, being
the lowest, was accepted. Mr.. Grant
is a contractor of wide experience and
fine reputation and is also an Elk.
Tom Bolger will be custodian of the
Elks home. He and George Connolly
are the outgoing lessees of the Man
sion house and all of the men room
ing there who are Elks are going to
stay there right along, the other
rooms being at the disposal of other
Elks, permanent or transient. Mr..
Connolly will, it is understood, in a
few days leave for Nogales, where he
will help Craig Pottinger run. the No
gales Democrat.

SEVENTY, BREAKS LEG ON
DESERT; HE CHEERFULLY
AWAITED EXPECTED HELP

His guardian angel hung close to
Thomas Jones, 20 years old, when he
fell over cliff on the desert IL miles
this side of Lees Ferry week ago
last Sunday night.
The old man didn't know whether
he was close to the road or not. He
had plenty of food, but no water.
There he laid, the hot sun pouring
on him. by day and the cold breezes
chilling him to the bone at night, for
three days and nights, with broken
leg. ),
He wouldn't eat because he knew It
would make him thirsty. He didn't
worry or fret, because he felt sure
someone would pick him up. Occas-
ionally he shouted at the top OF his
voice.
At noon Thursday his sublime faith
was rewarded. Two men and two wo-
men, tourists from the north on their
way to Grand Canyon, rode past on
horses and heard him call. They gave
him water and then he broke his long
fast. They reported his sad plight
to I. G. Cockcroft, who is stationed
at Lees Ferry for the Southern Cali
fornia Edison company and Cockcroft
put the old man in his car and drove
with him to Flagstaff. He is now
at the county hospital, in fine shape
considering what he had been
through.
Jones came to Flagstaff a few
weeks ago from California, to look for
work. Not finding any, he left, on
foot, for Wyoming, to hunt for job
as sheepherder. Twelve miles this
side of Lees Ferry, after several days
walking, he camped in place that
proved to be unusually drafty when
the chill night winds of the desert
came up. Several times he got up
and threshed around to restore circu-
lation. The last time he wandered
farther away, looking for sheltered
sport. In the dark he came to what
he thought was a drop of two or three
feet. He stepped off and fell thirty
feet, breaking a thigh bone.
In some way he dragged himself
back to his camp. There he waited,
patiently and sure he would be found
in plenty of time. He is originally
from Georgia. He has daughter
there, another one somewhere else,
and son in California.

SHERIFF TO LOUISIANA
AFTER MAN ALLEGED TO
HAVE SWIPED PAYROLL

Sheriff VIM. A. Campbell left Sun
day night for Phoenix to get Governor
Hunt to sign extradition papers drawn
up by County Attorney Frank Harri-
son calling on Governor Parker of
Louisiana for the extradition of II.
r. Hemeter, alleged to have skipped

had been intrusted with by the Sagi-
nav & Manistee Lumber Co. of Will
liams.

from Phoenix to Baton Rouge and
then, if Governor Parker signs the
extradition papers, will go on to
Springerville, 40 miles east of Baton
Rouge, where Hemeter is under ar
rest.
1t is said that Hemeter offered to
send back the money in exchange for
his release His offer was refused.
He was a logging contractor for the
lumber company and the money he
is alleged to have skipped with is
said to have been given him to pay
off his sub-contractors.

COUNTY TO CONDEMN
STRIP OF RANDOLPH
RANCH FOR HIGHWAY

State Road Engineer Frank Good
man wired the county board of super
visors this week to at once begin con-
demnation proceedings against Ed V.
Randolph, rancher near Winona, who
wants 81 900 for the five acres of land
the county wants in right of way
for the Flagstaff Winslow road
through his place.
The supervisors didn't want road
through Randolph's ranch. But the
forest service road men decided the
road approaching the new overhead
railroad crossing they are going to
put in at Winona must have fewer
curves. So they moved the location
of the crossing of Walnut Canyon, a
mile this side of Winona, about so
yards above the present new bridge
and will build a new steel bridge,
using natural rock abutments nature
has placed there.
This change necessitates going
through some land Mr.. Randolph ap-
praises at about $500 an acre.
The road work cannot begin until
this matter is settled. The forest ser
vice department requires the county
to clear the way as far as title is con-
cerned. and the state comes in on it
because as soon as the road is inn
proved it will become a part of the
State system of roads and be maintain
ed by the state.
The supervisors are already at work
with Frank Harrison and George K.
Lewis, county attorney and assistant
county attorney, to get under way and
quickly wind up whatever process may
be deemed necessary to get undisput-
ed right of way.

THROW YOUR RUBBISH
ANYWHERE; THE WORSE
IT LOOKS THE BETTER

| In spite of the expense the
| city went to in fixing up concrete
chute in the south side of town for
disposing of rubbish into the big cam
yon that heads in there, many are
dumping rubbish elsewhere.
Others who have carried their stuff
to the city dumping ground have
spread it all over the top of the bluff
near the chute instead of throwing it
down the chute, until now anyone who
desires to dispose of his rubbish down
the chute as he is supposed to finds
it almost impossible to drive near
enough to do so.
Much of this old rubbish is paper,
which has been picked up by the wind
and carried into the cemetery, where
it certainly doesn't look good.
Forest Supervisor E. G. Miller is
getting ready to get after offenders
who come within his jurisdiction. He
says:
Complaints have come in that tin
cans and rubbish are being dumped
on national forest lands that have not
been set aside for this purpose. There
is an established city dump with a
NCAilC11b VIC QHdCIStdll tltC
proposition-south of the cemetery,
which is supposed to be used as a
place for the dumping of rubbish. The
town cannot afford to have unsightly
cans and rubbish dumped at random
along the public highways.
eve do not want to cause trouble
for anyone, but it will be necessary
for US to recommend the prosecution
of parties found dumping rubbish of
any kind on forest land outside of
the regularly established city dump
ground"
Mr.. Miller has taken the matter up
with Mayor Tom E. Pulliam, who is
likewise disgusted over the failure of
some of our people to cooperate in
keeping our town clean. The latter
tive measures are soon taken unless
the offenders take the initiative and
themselves make amends.
Mr.. Miller believes if fence were
built in such fashion that those
using the dump were compelled to
drive directly to the top of the chute
it might help. Another solution is an
incinerator, of which he says in his
letter toe Mayor Pulliam:
"The experience of other towns
with which / happen to be familiar
leads me to believe that the only
sane solution of the problem is the
establishment of some sort of incin-
orator in order that all refuse which
will burn may be burned and disposed
of. At any rate / sincerely hope that
some solution of the problem may be
found. If the present dump is used
so that the cemetery cannot be pro-
tected it seems that steps will have
to be taken toward locating new
dump ground"
1t really is too bad that some of
our people have so little pride IN
keeping our town clean that they are
content, when the rubbish around their
homes and places of business gets too
much in the way to permit ingress or
egress, to dump it where it will be
nuisance to others and an eyesore to
everyone. A fellow like that might
just as well slide along down the con-
crete chute with the rest of his rub
bish.

SOME INTERESTING OLD LEGAL
RECORDS IN COCONLNO COUNTY,S HISTORY

eminent. For a consideration of $3,-
900 the grantor agreed to forever
warrant and defend the title against
all heirs of the body of John Lee who
might then claim or thereafter claim
interest in the same.
The second deed filed for record
was mining deed from Alonzo
Humphrey to DR.. John McCandless
of Prescott. The claims sold were the
"Occident," the "Orient" and the Au-
rora," situated in the Cataract Min
ing district. They were supposed to
contain silver and lead, and the con-
sideration was $500. The deed was
filed for record March 81, 1881.
The third transaction involving
property in Coconino county discloses
the interesting fact that AT years ago,
when Ulysses S. Grant was president
of the United States and on the day
he gave the signal that started the
machinery of the Centennial exposi-
tion at Fairmont Park-a rancher llv-
ed within less than mile and half
Of Williams; that he continued to live
there for over five years, and event
ually sold the ranch to prosperous
business man of Prescott. This man
was S. j. Sullivan, rancher, cowboy
and prospector. The ranch sold by
MI. Sullivan to w. z. Wilson is de-
scribed in the deed as lying ION the
north side of Bill Williams mountain
adjoining the ranch of John Rogers,
contains 160 acres, and on which
have lived for the past five years. "
The deed is dated June 25, 1881. The
consideration was $500. That Mr..
Sullivan continued to live in this COM
munity is proven by the fact that on
