HEMETER FIGHTS EXTRA
DITION FROM LOUISIANA

County Attorney Frank Harrison
sort of regrets he didn't go along
down to Louisiana last week with
Sheriff Billy Campbell. The latter
went after H. F. Hemeter, under ar
rest in Springville,, that state, charg-
ed with getting away with close to a
thousand dollars entrusted to him by
the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Co.
at Williams with which to pay off
logging sub-contractors who were
working under Hemeter. Governor
Parker of Louisiana signed the extra
dition papers. Then Helneter's coun-
sci swore out writ of habeas corpus,
which was denied in the lower court,
whereupon the attorney appealed to
the state supreme court. The latter
body will not act on the matter until
June Is. Meanwhile our sheriff will
camp there within sociable distance
of the man he hopes to bring back,
and the county attorney would fain
be down there to chew sugar cane in
a race with Bills speed on eatin' ter

LEE CARBON GETS HIS
AUTOMOBILES IN FLOCKS

Lee Carron is trying to plug up the
hole between demand for Chevrolet
cars and the local supply. He almost
made it out this week, when he got in
four big freight car loads Of Chevro-
lets. But while the four carloads were
on their way here he got busy and
sold more than two-thirds of their con-
tents; so within a few days he expects
to be as bad off as he was before
more customers than cars.
Lee also got freight car full last
Friday, which makes five carloads in
less than eight days.
Wonder how many cars there were
in Flagstaff ten years ago? Not many
more, surely, than Mr.. Carron got in
this one shipment. And it is hardly
likely that any Flagstaff automobile
dealer sold as many cars in an entire
season five or, at the most, six years
ago, as are contained in this one ship
ment.

WATCH YOUR STEP AND YOUR
MATCHES-FIRES ARE COSTLY

During this spring there have been
ID fires on the Coconino National
Forest. Fifty per cent were caused
by careless smokers and campers. Re-
member that forest is everybody's
property and is vital to the future
prosperity of the entire state.
Recently several men who careless
ly threw lighted cigarettes and
matches down, causing fires, we're
hailed before the local justice court
and paid their fines. This caused them
to realize how easily fires are started
and will prompt them to be more care
ful in the future, as matches at SO
apiece are rather expensive.
The idea we want to drive home is
that little care and thought will pre-
vent fires starting, SO be careful where
you throw your matches. Be sure
they are extinguished.

AMACHEWER HEROES

The fire department hustled out
Tuesday night to take care of a. blaze
in the yard back of the home of Mr..
and Mrs. A. o. Ude, the former Ia
laha home in the northeast part of
town. But before the alarm was
turned in, Pat Moran, Durrel Rush
and others had subdued the blaze with
garden hose. The fire was set by
little George Ude, who explained that
Bobby Moran had given him a match
which he dropped on stone "and it
went off" Some packing cases and
excelsior close to a high lattice fence
made it look like quite fire for a
few moments, and the valiant neigh
bos above noted had their jaws all set
with grim determination to fight to
the bitter end, however bitter.

Country Doings
! *****+@+@*#+*+

Mrs. Eva Spofford and daughter,
Alsa, returned to Garland Prairie last
week. Mrs. Spofford had been teach
ing school in California.
The dance in the Government Prai-
RE new school house tomorrow night,
June 2, is the next country dance.
Other country dances are coming up,
which will be announced later.
A fine big crowd attended the dance
at the Gleason home in Pittman Val
ley last Saturday night. Joe McDan-
iel ran his truck out from Williams
loaded with joyous and happy young
folks anticipating good time. The
young and old came from Spring VAL
ley, Government Prairie, Garland
Prairie, Red Lake, Smoot Lake, Rior-
dan, Flagstaff and Williams. The
women baked cakes and brought them.
Not half of the crowd was able to
dance on the floor at one time, so
Mrs. Gleason divided them into two
sets of odd and even numbers. The
even number would dance. while the
odd numbers looked ont, and then the
odd numbers were allowed to dance.
At midnight a nice lunch was served,
consisting of sandwiches, cake and
coffee. The dancing continued until
about an hour before Old Sol sends
his first rays over the tops of our
eastern mountains. My! How the
folks enjoy our country dances.

work by a selected team on a selected
number of candidates, parade of cam
didates, and in the evening a grand
ball at the Ell Tovar hotel. Following
the ball all Elks, accompanied by a
large class of candidates, will adjourn
to Maricopa Point, about one mile
west of the hotel where the Wednes-
day, July 4, program of events will
be taken up. Starting at 1901 a.
M, we will initiate large class COM
posed of candidates from all over Ari-
zona. This ceremony will be most
impressive and one that not only the
candidates, but all members present,
will remember as one of the most
unique limitations ever put on by our
order. Commencing at 1000 a. m.
July 4, we have arranged most ex-
cellent program of Indian sports,
races, etc.
Every brother, as soon as he de-
cides to go, should look into the mat
ter of accommodations, and either take
the matter up with the secretary of
his lodge, or with me direct. The
sleeping facilities at the hotels are
limited and it is going to be necessary
to make other arrangements. For
those going by machine there will be
excellent camping grounds. For those
who attend from the southern part of
the state and plan to go by rail, |
would suggest that they arrange for
Pullman reservations out Of Phoenix
through A. John Fry, secretary of the
Phoenix lodge. Several Pullman cars
will be made up at Phoenix and will
be set off at the Canyon and held
there through the convention at q
very moderate cost to the occupants.
"Inasmuch as there is to be no as
sessment to the lodges throughout the
state to defray the necessary ex-
penses of the meeting, we have de-
cided on five dollar registration fee,
that is, each brother, upon register
ing, will pay a five-dollar fee, and
will be given badges for himself and
family emitting them to free partic-
ipation in all events. In other words,
we are endeavoring to give each Elk
and his family three-day show for a
charge that would not begin to cover
just the actual sightseeing trips for
him alone, should he visit the Canyon
at any other time.
Il will keep the secretary of your
lodge informed, from time to time,
and any further information you
might care for can be obtained from
him."

WILL MAKE PAVING GOOD

The superintendent of the paving
company was up from Prescott few
days ago and said he would have the
crew here within very few days,
probably the first of next week, to
finish the paving contract. He said
his company will replace the bad spots
in the paving and any curb and gut
ter that may have been damaged by
the heavy steam roller, and that it IS
perfectly satisfactory to him to have
an arbitrator appointed by the owners
of frontage along the paving to de-
ternline what parts of the work have
to be re-done and whether they are
satisfactorily done this time,

Second, because she can help me to
spread the gospel of chiropractic to
the people of Flagstaff and vicinity.
There has been so much quackery
that people have learned to be eau

day, fully 49 per cent of the 100000
young man whose records were kept
by the army are physically detective
And these 100000 young men were
the very flower Of the nation.

Missionary Refuses to
Leave Head Hunters

Sydney, N. S. W.-The story of the
zeal of lone missionary on one of the
uncivilized islands of the Solomon
group, who was rescued from the
hands of head-hunters. but refused to
be taken away from his chosen station,
has just been brought to Sydney by
an island schooner. Men aboard the
schooner, nearing the island, saw
number of natives In war paint dam
cling around blazing fire, according to
their story.
The captain, believing that some
person might be in dangef, armed the
crew and sent them ashore. They fired
a volley over the heads of the natives.
who ran into the bush. The crew in
vestigated a European-built house and
found a white man inside praying on
his knees. He said that he was mis-
sionary and had been on the island for
year.
Sickness had broken out among the
natives and he had been blamed for
the loss of life. The natives had sent
their women-folk into the bush and
started war dance. AS that was
sign of future trouble. he had locked
himself in the house.
The missionary was importuned to
abandon the idea of staying among
the natives and invited to come aboard
the vessel for safety. He refused, how
ever, and the ship sailed away, leaving
him at his lonely and dangerous post
