Mans hill. Despite every effort then
and later the enemy failed to capture
the position held on the southeast
slope; and the position temporarily
gained by them on the southwest was
recaptured by the French on June Is.
After the great offensives Of 1917 the
whole Of Dead Mans hill remained in
French possession.
In the fighting Of May and June,
1916. the Sixty-ninth division suffered
fearful losses and the summit OF the
terrible hill was paved with the bones
OF 5000 Of It's dead.

After the season has opened, after
all of the startling things have been
exhibited by both American and French
designers. after fashionable women
have had chance to select with care
those creations that they consider
worthy Of their notice, then comes
blending, an amalgamation OF the Two
showings. And the ultimate result Is
not always what one might expect or
wish it to be, observes fashion writer
in the New York Times. However,
there is usually large proportion OF
good sense Incorporated In the union
and enough of general good looks 10
make us all appear well dressed ac-
cordng to popular taste.
All this having been told, we must
see to the various ways In which the
general principles are carried out and
In that process there is an ineNhausti-
BILE fund for research and thought, not
to mention experimentation.
There are points about the American
woman's figure which will not lend
themselves to the lines OF French
cloths. They must necessarily be
adapted and changed to our own lines
and proportions. and while some Of the
designs are spoiled by the change
others seem to take on an added In
terest. Then there are our own home
grown varieties, keyed to suit the
American woman and no one else on
earth. II one Of these can be exclusive
enough then 1t is II find, indeed. Some
times the material makes 1t distinctive
enough. Again. there are little varia-
tions In cut which accomplish the same
end. There are all sorts Of ways Of
achieving the goal when the undertak-
ing Is handled by an artist.
Straight Lines and Plaits.
Even the French designers find that
the old standard lines are surviving
with persistence which they might
wish otherwise. AS fashions stand
now, indeed, you cannot 20 wrong on
the straight lines that have proved
Of figure.
Plaits, this season, have found fast
place in popular favor. There are
whole dresses which are plated. There
are blouses laid In finely placed plai.s.
There are plated inserts and plated
capes and plated coats. And many Of
the frocks which are expressive of the
seasons styles have plaits Incorporated
in their making, but in such an astute
manner that they almost look like flat
portions of the gown. Only when any
movement of the figure is shown is
there revelation of the fact that more
fullness has been concealed under flat
plaits than could possibly he visible
at first sight.

Charles Hazenzah1, who runs the
Maine garage, returned last Monday
and IL now again doing business at
the old stand.
The first sheep that returned to the
mountains passed through Garland
Prairie on the 18th. There were four
bands of the Frisco Mountain sheep,
which range north Of Flagstaff.
Government Prairie is going to cele-
brate the event of the completion OF
the new school house by big dance
on Saturday night, June End. They
know how to do things up right in
Government Prairie, so there will be
plenty doing at the dance. Everybody
will be welcome.
The first fire of the season occurred
on the Tusayan forest last Sunday
and, due to the very high wind, it
promised for a while to be of some
magnitude. A. ". Hutchison, whose
ranch is about three miles west OF
Garland Prairie, returned home witt
his family Sunday afternoon, and
built fire in the stove, and cooked
dinner. After dinner Mr.. Hutchison's
little girl, upon looking out of the
door, discovered that spark from the
stove had lighted on and set fire te
log, which, in turn, had set fire to
other logs, and the fire was spreading
fast. Hutch was unable to handle It.
However, Lookout Archer on Volun-
teer Mountain promptly discovered it,
and Supervisor Kimball and Fireman
Clarence Venable, with the assistance
of Warren Sayne and Hutch, had the
fire under control a few minutes af-
ter their arrival. 1t burned over
about nine acres. Fires have a queer
habit of not showing much regard for
the Sabbath.

j. FRANK DAGGS DEAD

In the passing of j. F. Daggs,
whose home was at 1410 North Third
street, Phoenix, the state of Arizona
loses one of her oldest and most rep
resentative pioneers. Had he lived
one more year he would have rounded
out a full half century in this state
every year of which was crowded with
constructive activities.
Daggs Brothers have been in the
sheep raising business from its be-
ginning in this state, j. F. Daggs
driving 1000 sheep out of California
in 1874 and arriving in Arizona with
only 500 as the nucleus OF his future
droves of thousands.
Mr.. Daggs was not only an early
settler, he was the pioneer type. A
Missourian, Of Virginia ancestry and
boasting a signer of the Declaration
of Independence, Mr.. Daggs was a
loyal scion of that empire-building
stock.
When Coconino and Yavapai coun-
ties were divided; Mr.. Daggs was the
appointee of the northern portion in
the Legislature.
]. F. Daggs passed away on Friday
noon at st. Joseph's hospital. He was
born on May 3, 1858, in Memphis
Missouri, and in 1885 married Bella
Hoxworth, who survives him.
Other survivors are w. A. and P

B. A. Lamb and Miss Jennie Daggs:

PETRIFIED BODIES OF TWO
MEN ELEVEN FEET HIGH
FOUND IN GRAND CANYON

Details Of archaeological discoveries
made in the Grand Canyon Of the
Colorado by Samuel Hubbard, Oakland
scientist, were revealed on his return
from an expedition to Arizona, accord
ing to a story appearing in the San
Francisco Examiner.
Two petrified bodies of giant human
beings, eleven feet tall, said to be OF
proportions similar to those of human
beings of today, we're found by the
Hubbard party, the story says.
Discovery of the fossils, Mr.. Hub
bard asserts, tends to establish for
the first time the existence of race
of giants on the American continent
in prehistoric days. The fossils were
found in an isolated section of the
canyon, far from the travelled area.
Mr.. Hubbard said.
The petrified specimens resembled
mighty statues, Mr.. Hubbard contin-
ued, but tests proved they were human
flesh petrified as wood becomes pet
rified through the action of water fill
ed with lime.

WARNING TO PERSONS
DlSPOSING OF GARBAGE

The forest service very generously
donated the city of Flagstaff grounds
as a garbage dump south of town and
the city has provided chutes in order
that garbage could be dumped into
the pit.
On investigation we find that rules
governing the use of the dump
grounds have been flagrantly violated
and certain ones have subjected them.
selves to federal prosecution by dump
ing indiscriminately along the high
way on government land.
information has been filed as tc
those making practice of violating
the rules governing the use of the
dump ground and prosecution will fol-
lof if it is not stopped. AS suggested
by Forest Supervisor Miller, civic
pride should prevent the uncivilizec
shiftlessness in dumping unsightlS
cans and rubbish at random along the
public highways.
Supervisor Miller advises that ht
does not desire to cause trouble fol
anyone, but will recommend prosecn
ton if there are more violations o.
the rules.
| desire it known that the city au
thorities are fully in accord with Su
pervisor Miller, and will assist in the
prosecution of such violations.
1t is suggested those guilty of IN

NAVAJO INDIANS HOLDING
GENERAL COUNCIL ON OIL
LEASES ON RESERVATION

DR.. r. N. Ashley, inspector of stock
in the Indian service was in Flagstaff
the first of the week from his tenn
porary headquarters at Keams Can
yon. DR.. Ashley is assisting former
Governor Hageman of New Mexico,
recently appointed assistant to the
commissioner of Indian affairs, in a
conference Of the Navajo Indians at
Tuba City, which conference will ap-
point delegates to attend general
conference Of Navajos at some later
date to go into the matter of leasing
Of oil lands on the Navajo reservation.
It seems that leases have been Sc
cured from different agencies, but no
definite action had been taken which
included the Navajo nation as whole,
an action necessary before leases could
be legally given.
A general conference of Navajo rep
resentatives elected by the tribe will
be held at Albuquerque, Shiprock or
some convenient point designated by
Gov. Hagerman shortly.
