APPRECIATES WORK OF
THE LOCAL ROTARY CLUB

The following interesting letter was
received recently by |. B. Koch, presi-
dent of the Flagstaff Rotary club:
My Dear President II. B."
| am leaving the Grand Canyon
country today and before departure,
l want to write brief note to my
fellow Rotarians in Flagstaff, thank
ing them for their courtesies to me
and my friends and associates at the
Rotary meeting March 9th, also for
the Rotarians' participation in the
splendid luncheon and reception given
the official party that passed through
Flagstaff last Sunday.
In my travels about the country as
field assistant to the director of nat
ional parks, have visited many Ro-
tary clubs. / have never seen a club
more enthusiastic or more faithful to
the ideals of Rotary than your club.
I hope shall have the opportunity to
visit you again on the occasion of my
next visit to the Canyon. With all
good wishes, I am, yours in the bond
of Rotary.

FIRE DEPARTMENT NOW
ON TWO-PLATOON PLAN

Louis Kelly on Monday resigned as
day fire engine driver and city coun-
Gil appointed him to be night driver
at a salary of $25 a month and quar-
ters. George See, former chauffeur
of the city fire apparatus, was reap
pointed to the day job at salary of
$3.50 a month. It had been felt for
some time that the fret driver
being required to be on hand both day
and night, constantly, was too much in
the nature Of slavery. The new ar
rangement permits the drivers to dis
pose of their time when and where
they please during the hours they are
not on duty. Mr.. Kelley has become
a member of the selling staff of the
Wilson & Coffin Motor Co., at which
he puts in his time between sunup and
sunset. Irwin Francis and Everett
Mercer Swere also applicants for the
day end Of the fire-truck job.

WILLIAMS ROTARIANS
AND LADIES INVADE
AND TAKE FLAGSTAFF

A jolly, congenial bunch of Will
liams Rotarians, accompanied by as
many attractive, charming ,Rotaryan-
mas, motored up on Tuesday and were
guests at luncheon Of the Flagstaff
Rotary club.
This was the second get-together
meeting, the first being at Williams
last week, and they presage many
more at frequent intervals in the fu-
ture, with mutual benefit and pleas
ure.
President I. B. Koch read letter
Of congratulation on the splendid at
tendance here from International
President Ray Havens; letter extilling
the exceptional Rotary spirit manifest
here from H. NJ. Albright, field as
sistant to National Park Director
Mather; a letter of regret at being
unavoidably detained elsewhere from
Bill McClurken, alias 'The Lark" He
soaked Earl Slipher the cigars for
being born, then introduced blushing
Frank Chisholm, chairman for the
day, who proceeded to pull a pretend
ed call for volunteers to sing for the
bunch. Then, after lot of urging,
like all artists have to flatter them
selves with, Mac McMullen, Ed Mil
ler, John Thomas and Tex Mackey
meandered up front and vocalized
proof that they had been long in
training for that particular show-off.
Orinn Compton played the piano. 1t
was much better music than was ex-
pected.
Professor J. o. Creager of Tucson,
former president of the Normal school,
who came here a few days ago with
his wife and son to get them located
for the summer, asked the club to
cooperate with the Normal school in
providing rooms for the students ov-
erfloWing the campus. He spoke of
the wonderful growth in every way
shown by the school under the lead
ership Of President McMullen; also of
the extensive street and other inn
provements in Flagstaff. Professor
Creager is a Kiwanian.
Mrs. l.. B. McMullen spoke for the
ladies and related briefly what Ro-
tary meant to her, which was a whole
lot, told charmingly in few words,
some of which were "good will, . "fel-
lowship," "love of each other" and
benefit to the community"
Colonel H. A. Hanigan of the reg
ular army, spector-instructo for the
national guard of the state Of Arizona,
in ringing address, asked for coop
GRAFTON with the local national guard
light field artillery battery. 1t is our
duty to stand by our first line of de-
fense, the national guard, he said. 1t
is our only safeguard in the time Of
war that is certain to come, for, he in
sisted, there never will come time
when there are no wars.
J. G. Brown gave a service talk, his
topic being tobacco, under which he is
classified. He didn't lay himself Ii
able to a fine for advertising his own
business, freely admitting, and spicing
it with wit and humor, that tobacco
as is amt like tobacco as was. AS,
f'r'nstance, them there clear Havana
cigars we talk about and think we
can get anywhere any time, we can't
and don't because all the tobacco of
that class raised isn't up to the needs
of New York City alone. While those
spotted Sumatra wrappers, well, they
spot 'em now with machinery. And

MRS. JAMES A. LAMPORT.
MANY YEARS AN INVALID.
DIED WEDNESDAY NIGHT

Mrs. James A. Lamport died at her
home in Flagstaff on Wednesday
night at 10 o'clock, following long
illness, the elimination of nearly
twenty years of invalidism.
1t is not known when the funeral
services will be held, pending the ar
rival Of a sister of deceased, who left
Seattle, Washington, for Flagstaff on
Wednesday. Nor is it known where
the remains will be laid at rest,
whether in Flagstaff or beside those
of her parents in LIE Roy, MINI.
Ada NJ. Mason Lamport was born
in Kipton, Lorraine county, Ohio, on
March %, 1864, thus being SO years
and 20 days old at the time of her
death.
While she was teaching school in
Montana, she and Mr.. Lamport be-
came engaged. He came here and
after she returned to her home in lie
Roy, Mimi, he went back there, mar
rying her on January 27, 1892, and
brought her to his home here.
Mrs. Lamport was remarkable
woman. Though an invalid for years,
compelled to undergo one major OPP

eight, she did not lose interest in her
friends nor abate in her loving kind
ness and cheerfulness toward her fam
lily. The last operation was perform
ed few weeks ago in Gallup. She
was reconciled to die, and while she
never had lost courage, she looked
forward to death as a welcome re-
lease from the suffering she knew
she never could be free from in any
other way.
Mrs. Lamport is survived by her
husband, James A. Lamport, county
surveyor, and four children who are,
in the order Of their ages: Mrs. Fred
w. Croxton, Reno Ranger station, Ari
zona, and James A., George H. and
Mary L. Lamport, all of Flagstaff;
two sisters, Mrs. Emma Eft Garri-
son of Seattle, and Mrs. Ida Lee of
Minneapolis, and one brother, Charles
Henry Mason of Minneapolis.

something we should be glad to CO.
operate in to the fullest extent. It
bears its own immediate, big reward.
Beautifying of homes, removal of
rubbish and unsightly things, carting
away of garbage and ash-heaps, rak-
ing up of dead leaves, burning of old
papers, straw, fragments of this and
that that are Of no use in the world
except to make our homes and grounds
and the community in general more
unsightly, less attractive.
That's what we want to do. All Of
that, and painting, repairing broken
fences, rickety gates-just touching
up things here and there.
It's an awful good time, too, to
beautify lawns.
There's so much that can be done.
And it pays. It pays the individual
in the greater pride he or she feels in
a more beautiful home and surround
ings. 1t pays the neighbors because

MORE BOOZE

Francisco Cruz and Roberto Badelie
were arrested this week by City Mar
shal r. L. Neill and jailed, charged
with Transporting booze. Mr.. Neill
and Deputy Sheriff Billy Rudd went
to Winslow yesterday to bring back
the man alleged to have sold the stuff
to Cruz and Badelie. He was arrest
ed by the Winslow officers, who, it is
said, got his still and lot of booze.
Neill strolIed into Estavan Lavata's
house on the south side of town, Flag
staff, Wednesday night and came
away with both Mr.. and Mrs. Lavata
and six gallons of something in jugs.
Man, woman and jugs were placed in
the city jail.

The grandstand will be thing of
beauty, also of utility. Building it on
the boundary of the tourist camp
grounds and including in it rest, rec
reation, toilet and bath rooms for the
tourists will greatly increase Flag
staff's popularity with tourists and
will make many more of them come
here and stay longer when they do
come.
Captain ]. B. Wright planned the
new building City council on Mon
day night pronounced his plans good
and bids from contractors will be
opened on April %. 1t is hoped to
have the new building ready for the
Fourth and make the celebration that
likely will be held then a dedication.
The building will be 48x176 feet. 1t
will seat 1900 people. The space be-
meath will be enclosed, with doors and
windows fronting the tourist camp

lips, both young women of Ontario,
California, who two weeks ago stole
a diamond brooch, gold watch and So
gold piece belonging to Miss Edith
England from the home of Mrs. C. A.
Moose of Williams, where all three
were rooming, were sentenced to three
years in the state penitentiary by
Judge ]. E. Jones in superior court
on Monday, after they plead guilty,
and sentence was suspended on condi-
ton that they return to their homes.
Money had been sent by the mother
of one of the girls to pay their ex-
penses back to California. They pro-
fess to have been cured Of their ambi
ton to hike across America, which
was what they started out to do.

1t makes their immediate locality
more attractive and stimulates them
to do something to help the good
cause along. 1t pays our town as a
whole because it makes it more attrac-
tive to live in and more attractive to
others who come here to visit or are
merely passing through.
1t pays in making fire risks less,
health conditions better, in giving our
children greater pride in keeping up
good appearances around the home.
Of course, it isn't necessary to wait
until week after next to begin the
cleaning up, painting UP, general i'm
provement work. Lots of Flagstaff
people already have begun. We see
signs of this public spirit, thrift and
pride of appearance in all directions.
Many yards, front and back, are as
spic and clean right now as ours
should be.

WINSLOW AND FLAGSTAFF
MAY JOINTLY CELEBRATE
FOURTH OF JULY HERE

There is a movement on foot, and
gaining considerable headway, for a
Joint Fourth of July celebration in
Flagstaff under auspices of the Amer
lean Legion posts of the two cities. 1t
is believed the new city grandstand
will be finished by then and the cele-
bration, besides being a regular, rip
roarin' old style good time in keeping
with the day will also be a dedication
of the handsome new structure to the
fun-use of the public. The plan has
not been positively decided upon, but
the chances are good that it will be.

MUCHO DINERO

: What is probably the biggest
, salary increase ever granted to-
, public official was authorized
: by Flagstaff city council on Mon
, day night of this week.
The increase was 2500 per cent.
, The man thus honored is the city
, health officer, DR.. Felix Man
, ming. He is also county health
, officer. If the county will grant
: him a salary increase proper
, tionately as great he will be a
: long way ahead of the present of
; the United States in the quid
! pro quo stpended him.
But out in the great west,
where men are men--out here in
the wide, open--but no longer
wide-open-spaces--we do things
; in a big way. So DR.. Felix gets
} an increase in salary from the
city Of 2500 per cent.
: 1t takes effect ON June /. His
, salary now is 81 a month. 1t has
; been increased to S25 a month.

Ballroom, with maple floor, 40x80
feet; 15x16 lobby, 1896 veranda, 16x
IS cafe, 16x16 dressing room, two
showers, each SKIS, 16x16 office, 16x
"a rest room, 8x12 and 8x16 lockers,
8x16 coal bin and toilet rooms for
both sexes.
Part of the floor will be concrete,
the rest maple and pine. Walls will
be concrete reinforced with tied metal
rib laths. Big pine tree columns
form the supports. In front there
will be dugouts for the baseball play
ers connected with the showers by
passageways. Roof probably will be
of color to harmonic both with the
green of the big pines and the con-
crete walls.
It will be some building, and, in
spite of its completeness, it is esti-
mated that the cost will be only
about $4,000.

STAND PLANS; BUILDING
WILL BE SOURCE OF PRIDE

Flagstaffs grandstand and recreation building in
the recreation park will be credit to the city and
likely will surpass anything of the kind IN the entire
southwest.
City council has taken the position and in this they
have the strong endorsement of the general public here
that whatever do in developing the city recreation
park must be along highcass lines, doing nothing of
temporary makeshift nature but building handsomely
permanently and impressively.

Instead of a ten-weeks' term of uni

the session in Flagstaff this summer

Prepare To Hold Special

is every advantage to be gained by
annexation and no objections. Like
he said in his first interview given
to the Free Press some time ago,
Mr.. Nielsen says that the joining Of
hands with the city Of Mankato can
not come too soon for him.
Henry Robel ST.. explained that
now the next step was to present
the petitions with the signatures to
the members Of the city council and
then 1t becomes mandatory on the
part of that body to call the special
election to determine whether to an

to the city council at their meeting
Thursday night.
1t was suggested at the meeting
that 1t was not thought advisable to
call a special election to solve the
problem. The state senatorial cleo
ton is called for June IL, and it Is
proposed to vote at the same time
on the annexation question.
On motion OF w. e. Stewart 1t
was voted to get out hand bills to
be distributed among the voters
previous to the election.
Mr.. Stewart said that he could
plainly recall the humble beginnings
OF North Mankato. 1t was not so
many years ago that twenty six

ganized the village Of North Man

progressed by leaps and bounds,
until they had reached point
where it is absolutely necessary to
join with her sister city. II North
Mankato Is to progress. The speak
er said that divided the two cities
cannot expect to make as much
progress as II joined as one munich

resources and Mr.. Stewart predicted
that at no great distance in the fu-
ture 1t will have a population Of
from twenty to thirty thousand peo-
pie. It is destined for all time to be
the metropolis Of Southern Mime
sofa.
1t is planned to hold mass meet
ings to further acquaint the people
Of North Mankato. with the advan-
tages Of annexation. These meet
ings will be held just preceding

Mankato will be one Of the speakers
invited to take part in the discus
