APPROVES SUNS STAND
ON COLORADO RIVER PACT
Gallup, New Mexico, 4-30-23

Gallup, New Mexico, 4-30-23,
Coconino Sun,
Gentlemen:
Some time ago I read a copy of an
editorial from your paper, and l glory
In your stand.
From a personal standpoint / have
nothing to gain or lose in the matter
of the Colorado River pact, but /
am like great many other citizens
of the west, | hate to see the prog:
ress of the west held up by what |
consider peanut politicians.
You may feel sure that you are on
the peoples side and boosting cause
that they are heart and soul for.
| have often wondered where this
country would be if the signers of the
constitution had been of the same
size as some of the alleged leg
islators of our present legislature.
Think of how the signers of our
constitution put aside personal jeal-
ousies and prejudices and voted for
the common good of all.
Then think of how few peanut
politicians held up a bill that would
have done more to advance the west
than any one thing.
Through political jealousies and
narrow mindedness they have defeat
ed a bill that would have meant as
much to Arizona as the constitution
does to the United States.
/ make this state regularly and
make it a point to get the peoples
opinion on the Colorado River pact
and from what / can learn there are
going to be some defeated candidates
for office in the next election. The
people will not stand by and see
few preiudiced individuals hold up the
progress of this great west.
Yours,
jNO. F. ACHTERBERG.

"Rimmy" Jim Giddings was enter
tanning company at his cattle ranch.
A woman IN the bunch had a mean
feist dog that worried Jim lot.
"Shall | throw your dog a Bit
ma am ~ he asked the woman.
"Certainly, if you wish to, Mr.. Gid
dings," she replied.
"Ri,nmy" grabbed the dog by the
back OF the neck and threw him
through the open door and about six
rods out on the broad western plains.
eff he comes back I might throw
him a bit more, ma am" he said.
John Marshall says he was so hum
cry once when he was out prospecting

the meal was over he could hardly
keep from crying over thinking how
much the deg would have enjoyed the
bones.

Jimmie Mitchell says the most en-

tells about the time he was drivin'

John Francis was telling about how
in the early days here fellow who
wore a wig died and they couldn't
make the wig stay on his head. They
started to get some glue, but they
didn't have to get it because some
one found tack.
Rev. George Vernon Harris is the
one who rescued from oblivion the
time-honored anecdote of the little
Indian boy-about three years old
who was asked last summer at the
Southwest missionary conference
grounds near here what that was fly
ing overhead-the interlocutor point
ing to an airplane. The youngster
said it was dead automobile on its
way to heaven.
Last summer shortly after Ray
Simpson, manager of the j. C. Penney
Co. store came to Flagstaff he called
at the Normal school. Mrs. L. B. Nc
Mullen, wife of the president, had
been making 15 gallons of ice cream
and lot Of other eatables for the $50
children of the training school. Some
time later she was down town and
dropped into Penney's after some
shoes.
"Are you still cooking at the Nor
NAL school ?" Ray asked her.
"No, I'm now cooking at Mr.. Nc
Mullen's home," she told him.
Mrs. McMullen told the Flagstaff
and Williams Rotary clubs about it
at one of their joint meetings and

Bill Beeson says the way Governor
Hunt promised economy before he was
elected and failed to deliver afterward
reminds him of the old Scotch preach
er who put on pair of pants he
hadn't worn for several months. Is
was late fall. During the summer
hornets had built nest IN his pants.
When the old preacher got warmed
up to his work in the pulpit the
wasps also got warmed up. Soon he
was jumping around like crazy man,
slapping at his thighs.

ther entertainments would be held at
the auditorium by the race. Mr..
Moore got in immediate touch with
the management and convinced them
that the major portion of the Twin

element. ReAassurred of the proper

All Chicago Response to "Hello
Bill" When Antlered Herd
Take Over City.

When DR.. 10. Mills, past grand
exalted ruler, dropped the gavel at 8
o'clock Friday morning, bringing to
a close the oath annual convention of
the Improved Benevolent and Protec-
tive Order of Elks Of the World, it
marked the closing of what was, in
many respects, the most remarkable
session in the history of the order.
The year had broken all previous rec
ords for the institution of new lodges
as well as the increase in member
ship and the treasury. In addition to
this, territory had been invaded and
lodges set up in states and countries
which heretofore had been closed to
all attempts to invade them. All day
Saturday and Sunday rumors were
flying thick and fast as to startling
disclosures that were to be made, and
when the grand lodge convened every
one was alert to hear something of a
sensational nature. But the cooler
heads evidently got the belligerent
factions together and what was ex-
pected to be most stormy gathering
resolved itself into one Of the most
peaceful and harmonious sessions in
the history of the order. On Sunday
evening, at the Wendell Phillips high
school, the annual sermon was
preached by the grand chaplain, the
Rev. George Avant, A splendid mu-
sical program was rendered in con-
junction with the sermon, and the
only drawback was that the building
was inadequate to accommodate the
throngs that sought to gain admission
and hundreds were turned away. The
great number of delegates and MEM
bers of the order, who thus early
were upon the scene, was an indica-
tion that, in point of attendance at
least, this grand session was to sur
pass all others. On Monday after
noon, in the same building, the open
ing exercises were held and the keys

DELEGATES CONE
Local Delegation Attend Annual
Convention Convening in
Denver, Colo.

Mr.. S. w. Williams, 31S No. Grot-
to street, returned Saturday evening
from Denver, Colo, where he attend
ed the grand lodge of the Free An
cient Accepted York Masons, who
convened August 27-31. Perhaps at
no time in the history of grand lodge
sessions did a more progressive and
enthusiastic group of delegates as
semble than at Denver. Everything
from balmy breezes to the city at
large was available to the visitors
who partook of all hospitality Of the
Rocky Mountain Metropolis. The
only obstacle encountered was in the
form of an injunction on the part of
the State Mason to prevent the ses-
sion. The attempt proved invalid
and the convention opened its ses-
sion.
Denver Welcomes Them.
The city of Denver appropriated a
generous fund to decorate the streets
and to entertain the visitors. Moth
ing was spared by the municipal
body. Following the session a pa
rade was made through the loop sec
ton of the city and hence to the
state capitol, where pictures of the
delegation were made from the steps
of the capitol proper. From a point
of finance as well as attendance, the
convention proved a grand success.
Many new members were announced
by the lodges represented. The COM
ing year promises greater member
ship than the past one. Among the
various topics discussed was the cre-
alton of Minnesota grand lodge.
This is now assured, as the necessary
quota of auxiliary lodges is available.
The Minnesota grand lodge will take
over Iowa and possibly Nebraska
when organized.

great a success has Florence Mills
created here in the musical comedy,

viewer in the African World decides
she is not colored.
ITO call them Negro would not in
this case be correct, though perhaps
a few members Of vodery's clever
Plantation orchestra show the pure
characteristics of the race. Certainly
Florence Mills and Edith Wilson and
the "Dixie vamps" In particular
could easily pass in any Southern
European country without being rec
ognized as belonging to the aborig-
ines race Of Africa, which is so rap
idly and rightly emancipating itself
