FLAGSTAFF PEOPLE TO
HAVE BIBLE STUDY CLASS

A Bible study club was organized
last Tuesday evening at meeting
held in Judge Crosby's office. The
purpose is to discuss various Bible
topics and allied religious subjects.
AT the meeting last Tuesday night
Rev. Saunders, pastor of the Chris
ton church, gave an account of the
work Of his denomination since its
origin in 1909. Rev. George Vernon
Harris, pastor Of the Episcopal
church, told of the beginning OF the
Church of England away back IN the
third century Judge Crosby ex-
planned the origin and growth Of the
Mormon church from the birth Of
Joseph Smith in 1906 down to the
present time. The founding Of the
Methodist church and its remarkable
growth during approximately two
hundred years was discussed by DR..
Charles A. Gale.
The next meeting will be held next

has been made with ease. He expects
that the balance Of the run to the
coast will also be put across" without
trouble.
The car used is a standard, stock
touring car and nothing, it is said,
has been altered with the exception
of removing the other speed gears
from the transmission, and this was
done to forestall any claims that the
entire trip was not made in high af-
ter the car reaches the Pacific coast.
Baker himself is an unusually lii
teresting figure in automobile rae
ing circles. He has crossed the con-
tinent 61 times by automobile and
motor cycle. IN 1920 he took but four
DAYS, five hours and % minutes to
cross the continent, actual driving
time. Other records by automobile in
clude speed contests, endurance runs,
economy tests and runs between near
" every city in the country.
Tales Of Bakers endurance on these
runs would sound like fairy tale to
persons who did not know the man.
Time and again he has driven so hours
and more without sleep in speed
race; only to snatch an hour or two
rest and drive another 40 or SO hours
without sleep, all the time driving
better than. mile minute, in some
of the highest powered cars ever built,
or by motorcycle.
Contrary to the generally accepted
opinion of the best and safest time
to drive, Baker says that night offers
him the best opportunities to cover
ground. It is then, he says, that
traffic is the lightest and he can see
other cars coming by watching fol
lights around corners and at cross
roads.
Baker has driven at the Indianapol-
| is 50O-mile sweepstakes race but he
contends that he would rather drive
cross country runs than in regular
road races, the danger being less. He
says that at Indianapolis you can al
ways tell what you are going to do
! but the dangerous part of the driving
is not the speed but rather the ques-
ton of what the "other fellow is go
ing to do" 'If anything happens tt
a car in a big race" he says, "the
chances are good that some one else
will get hurt while in cross country
races you only have your own problem
to contend with and few other car.
ambling along at from rs to 40 miles
an hour, to watch.
The route taken by Baker on this
trip was from New York to Philadel
phia, to Uniontown, Pa, to Wheeling
W. Va, Columbus, Indianapolis, st
Louis and straight through the SAINT;
Fe trail to Los Angeles.

NAVY DAY AND ROOSEVELT
DAY PROCLAIMED BY HUNT

Whereas, Saturday, October 27 has
been designated as Navy day." the
people of our nation are urged to
study the needs of this nation in the
way of national defense. The United
States navy constitutes the first line
of defense, and it is Imperative that
it be kept at its highest efficiency.

the birthplace of Theodore Roosevelt

been crowned with success, and on
Saturday, October 27, 1928, there will
be held appropriate services, dedlcat-
ing the Roosevelt home as o, national
monument, where Americans may go

the many problems which confront

Whereas, The memory OF Theodore
Roosevelt has a peculiar and partlc--
ular significance for the people Of
Arizona. He endeared himself to the
many citizens of the state who were IN
his regiment in Cuba; his efforts
toward reclamation went far toward
making possible the construction OF
the dam in the Salt River Valley
which bears his name, and it is fitting
that the people of Arizona take the
time from their multitudinous duties
to pay a tribute to this American who
contributed so much to our national
consciousness and development;

''CANNONBALL" BAKER is
ON HIS WAY ON HIGH

Driving a new Oldsmobile six from
New York to Los Angeles, in high
gear, "Cannonball'' Baker arrived in
Flagstaff Wednesday and after a
short stop at the Flagstaff GaNsge to
call on c. E. LaRue, the proprietor,
whom he had met before, and at Lee
Carron's garage to recall the trip he
and Lee once made together from Hol-
brook to Kansas City, left for the Pa
cific Coast.
The car left New York on October
8, with all gears except high removed.
The automobile was inspected by
newspapermen to see that no second,
low or reverse gears were in the
transmission and it was then official
" sealed. This is the first time any
automobile, let alone one in the low
price class, has ever tried such a
feat.
Thus far, Baker said, no trouble
has been encountered and every grade

PETITION FOR SPECIAL
SESSION HAS BEEN SENT
TO GOVERNOR HUNT

The petition circulated throughout
Mohave county asking Governor Hunt
to call an extra session Of the legisla-
ture for the purpose of ratifying the
Colorado river compact, and which
was signed by more than one thou
sand voters of the county, was this
week forwarded to Governor Hunt by
the committee having it in charge, of
which committee Carl G. Krook is
chairman. Only voluntary signers to
the petition were sought, and in
few instances did the voters fail to
fix their names to the document. This
petition simply states that it is the
wish of the voters of Mohave county
that the governor call special session
of the legislature and that he use his
best endeavor to have the Santa Fe
compact Immediately ratified without
interpretations or other impedimenti.
Practically every voter on the north
side of the river in this county af-
fixed their signatures to the petition
and over seven hundred of Kingman's
voting population eagerly signed the
document. Fully 80 per cent of the
people who had q. chance signed. The
petition was primarily urged to show
Governor Hunt that the people were
anxious to start something doing on
the Colorado river and that they were
tired of the bunk and four-flushing
that was being put out by men who
knew nothing on the subject Today
there is not one man, woman or child
in Mohave county who does not want
to see the compact ratified, and we
feel that the people Of the whole
state feel the same way about it.
The utter nonsense that is being
broadcasted by men who are stirring
up a smoke screen is getting the
goat of the people and they may soon
! step in and start house cleaning in
the way of recalls that will put the
people at the head of their own af-
/ fairs.-Kingman Miner.

GOMEZ ASKS FOR PART
PAYMENT OF HIS $l2,S75
JUDGMENT AGAINST CITY
Continued from Page one.)

Henderson Stockton, this week made a
strong plea that at least part Of the
S12,875 be paid now, as Gomez badly
needs some money. The latter agrees
that if about $4,000 is paid him dur
ing the next few months, to care for
pressing obligations, the balance can
go for some time.
This case has been a tangle. Gomez
got Judgment against the city and Sc
wer contractors, MacLean & Walsh Of
Los Angeles. They appealed. Fran
els A. Cradle, then city attorney, did
not perfect the appeal on behalf OF
the city. The supreme court discharg-
ed the city's part Of the appeal and
remanded the case on the part Of the
contractors for a new trial. The case
was retired in superior court here.
Gomez lost against the contractors,
but his judgment against Flagstaff
rendered in the first trial, still stands.
Then Flagstaff entered suit against
VIM. D. Walsh, surviving partner Of
MacBean & Walsh, and the Z. 5.
Fidelity & Guaranty Co, bondsmen,
for $12,967. This case is still pend
ing.
Gomez gets his money In any event,
the city being the ultimate loser IN
less it gets q judgment against the de-
PENDANTS in the case now pending.
