BOY SCOUTS GUESTS OF
ROTARIANS AT ORPHEUM

All the Boy Scouts of Flagstaff,
with their troop chiefs, and number
of members of the Rotary club, which
is sponsoring the Scout movement
here, gathered at the Orpheum thea
tire yesterday afternoon.
DR.. M. G. Fronske presided, intro
duced the speakers and gave the boys
a few good words about keeping af-
ter an education.
Principal T. H. Schultz Of the Nor
NAL training school gave them sound
talk on returning to or remaining in
school, marshalling lot of telling ar
guments and facts why from dollar
and cents viewpoint it is best to stick
in school and get good education.
Mrs. Clara Davis Truman led the
boys in singing America. The nearly
100 youngsters present gave a good
account of themselves. And so they
did when DIR. Fronske asked them to
cheer for Miss Mary Costigan, who
had given them free use of the theatre.
Charles N. Miller of Los Angeles,
regional scout executive in charge of
the work in Arizona, California, Ne
vada and Utah, gave the boys an in
spring talk on keeping physically fit.
Then there were movies of special
interest to the boys.

CHARLIE BURTON NOW
PRESIDENT PRO TEN OF
STATE WOOL GROWERS

Judge Fred w. Perkins of Flagstaff,
ecretary-treasurer of the Arizona
State Wool Growers association, an
nounees that the executive committee
of that association at meeting in
Phoenix on Saturday selected former
Senator Charles E. Burton of Ash
fork to act as president during the
illness of Senator Hugh E. Campbell,
who is now in Cleveland, Ohio.
Mr.. Burton is a vice-president of
the association. The other vice-presi-
dent is Senator James Scott of Nava-
10 county. Mr.. Scott concured heart
ily with the executive committees
choice and, though Mr.. Burton was re-
luctant to take on the added respon-
sibility, involved, he consented when
it was pointed out 70 him that the best
interests of the association required
it.
The committee also met with the
state corporation commission discuss
ing the freight rates on wool. The
corporation commission will meet
with the interstate commerce commits
sion in Salt Lake City on April 80 and
in Phoenix on May ID. The interstate
commerce commission had adopted
a reduced freight tariff on wool,
it will be remembered, and then the
matter was held in apeyance because
of a protest from the wool growers
of Washington and Oregon, who claim
the new regulations are discriminatory
against them. Their claim will be
threshed out in the coming hearings
and it is hoped that Arizona and New
Mexico wool growers will get sub
stantial reduction in rates.
Senator Campbell was expected to
be back in his winter home in Phoe-
nix before this, but he was unable to
travel and the return was postponed
for two weeks, and he and Mrs. Camp
bell are expected to return direct to
their home in Flagstaff. alt may be
some time before he will be able to
again take an active part in business
of the association; hence the appoint
ment of a president pro tenn to take
the lead in important matters now be
fore the association and to preside
over the annual meeting, which is soon
to be held.

NERVY CUSSES TOOK
OFFICERS CAR; THEN
THERE WAS TROUBLE

There was no end of excitment
Sunday night and Monday over the
theft of ]. D. Jackson's Oldsmobile
car, which was taken from in front
of the christian church early Sunday
evening while Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson
were attending services.
The officers got busy at once. Wires
were sent in all directions warning
other officers to be on the lookout.
Then word came that car had
passed through Winslow, 65 miles east
of here, travelling at so miles an
hour, the driver refusing to stop when
the Winslow night marshal ordered
him to.
Sheriff Campbell and Deputy John
Garrett set out for Winslow early
Monday morning.
Then, along about poon, the missing
car was found over behind the grand
stand at the race track, where it had
been left after the spotlight had been
taken and a clumsy but unsuccessful
attempt made to remove the battery.
1t is not know whether the car had
been taken by thieves or whether
someone took it as a practical joke on
the popular truant officer and some
one else stole the spotlight. The car
was insured for $400, perhaps third
of its value, and Joe was certainly
glad to meet it again.

0. B. RAUDEBAUGH SELLS
NEWSSTAND TO ZADOK
SHEFFIELD OF 0ATMAN

o. B. Raudeoaugh on Wednesday
sold his news, cigar and confectionery
stand on San Francisco street to 70
dak Sheffield, of Oatman, who has
placed Mrs. Moore of that place in
temporary charge until he can shape
up his affairs in Oatman and himself
come to take charge, which will be
soon after the first of next month.
Mr.. Sheffield has been justice of
the peace at Oatnan since 1916 and
manager of the telephone exchange.
He is paralyzed in his lower limbs,
having to use crutches. He bears a
good reputation and has several warm
friends here.
Mr.. Raudebaugh had expected for
several weeks to make the sale, which
was necessary so that he may follow
the advice of his wife's physicians and
take her to a lower altitude. They
probably will not leave for several
weeks and in the meantime he will sell
radio goods. They may settle in
Kngman, though no definite arrange
ments have been made. Flagstaff
people will be sorry to lose Mr.. and
Mrs. Raudebaugh, who have lived
here for years, and hope she may soon
recover her health so that they may
return here. a 19a.

FLAGSTAFF AMERICAN
LEGION BOYS OVER TOP
In MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

Officers and members of the local
American Legion post are elated over
the success of their drive for new
memberships in connection with the
nationwide campaign. Arizona is
third in the United States in its mem
bership standing, and now the local
boys say they're going to put Arizona
at the top and in doing SO will put
Flagstaff at the top in Arizona.
Flagstaff, though it went over its
quota by more than Is per cent on
Wednesday, and expects to exceed it
by more than hundred per cent be-
fore the drive is over, has waived all
claim to the handsome trophy offered
to the club in this state making the
highest membership percentage gain
between now and the opening of the
annual state convention, which is to
be held in Flagstaff the second week
in June. All Flagstaff wants is the
honor of beating the rest of the state
in the race; then the second-best in
the contest will get the cup.
IF YOU saw the big glittering flags
of the Legion strapped to either side
of a big auto on Wednesday, you saw
the Legion membership drive car.
You'll likely see it frequently between
now and convention time.
The officers of the local post-Mark
A. Moore post No. 3-are: Walter G..
Carlson, commander; w. d. Draine,
vice-commander; j. B. Rickel, adju-
tant; George N. Negray, treasurer;
F. E. Browning, sergeant-at-arns.

CITY MARSHAL SETS
TRAP FOR SPEEDERS:
PEEVES THEM MUCHLY

Chief of Police r. L. Neill, at the
request of several prominent citizens
on Wednesday placed men at various
points throughout Flagstaff to catch
speeders. Distances were carefully
set and the men instructed how to
time autoists.
AS result six men were arrested
and fined that day.
Then the holler that went up from
some who were caught! Complaints
were made to members of the city
council and a lot of other propaganda
derogatory to Mr.. Neill's enforcement
of the law was let loose.
The general speed allowed is 20
miles an hour, with Is miles down.
town and 10 miles at intersections.
This isn't liberal enough apparently,
for some of our hurried, busy citi-
zens, who prefer minimum of 30 or
40 miles and maximum of whatever
their cars can make.
Mr.. Neill says he'll keep right on
enforcing the speed law. He has the
backing of nine-tenths Of our people
in that resolve He isn't after the
man who exceeds the limit by two or
three miles, as may be done thought
lessly or innocently done, but he is
after the speed-demon who knowing
ly and scornfully violates the law and
travels faster than is safe for the
general public.
For first offence, to temper the
punishment as much as possible, fines
of only $5 are being collected.
The Coconino sun., 1923-04-27

Mr.. Mcdonald said the city as we'll
as the railroad people must of ne
cessity realize the need of the new
reservoir if an additional supply of
water is secured. The present flow
lines from the springs would fill the
new reservoir and tide over the usual
winter shortage of water. The de-
velopment of the springs without the
new reservoir would be a waste of
money and water. "You have plenty
of the purest and best water in the
world. All you need is means of con-
serving it to tide over a couple of
months in the year when the flow
from the springs is retarded bv freez-
ing weather. If the city does nothing
else. / would strongly urge the build
ing of the reservoir-other improve
ments can come later as the water
pays its way or the city sees fit to
increase the bond issue, which latter
can undoubtedly be done when taxable
valuations are increasing as rapidly
as they are in Flagstaff"

SECRETARIES OF CHAM
BERS OF COMMERCE
OF STATE MEET In MAY

Secretaries of the active chambers
of commerce of the state will hold
their first general conference the end
of next week, May A, 5 and 6, at
Roosevelt Lake, under plans made by
the Arizona Industrial Congress.
The statewide secretaries confer
ence was suggested by several cham
bers of commerce, and although ar
ranged by the Industrial Congress
will be entirely in the hands of the
secretaries themselves. The meeting
will be of a get-together nature, and
devoted to informal discussion of the
problems which arise in chamber OF
commerce work.
Subjects to be taken up at the con-
ference include community advertis-
ing, literature, membership, conven-
tions, subscriptions and collections, Of
ficers, displays, program of work, re-
lations with neighboring towns, rela-
tions between town and country.
Among the secretaries scheduled to
lead discussions on various topics are
Ely Martin, DOUGLAS: Bertram L.
Smith, Bisbee; A. H. Condron, Tucson;
L. w. Alexander, Yuma; Grace M.
Sparkes, Prescott; w. H. Keegan,
Globe; Harry Welch, Phoenix.
Secretaries of all chambers of COM
merce and commercial clubs in Ari-
zona are invited to attend the confer
ence. Sessions will be held at the
Apache Lodge, and boating and fish
ing will furnish diversion.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR DOG!
HE'LL CATCH RABIES AND
.BOGEY MAN'LL GET HIM!

Maggie, call Fido into the house,
quick. Maybe we'll have to make him
into sausage right away or suffer a
total loss on him!
Frivolous way of introducing a sub
iect that is really serious. For four
dogs have had to be killed in Flag
staff in the last few days, one un-
deniably in the last stages of rabies
and the other three giving all indi-
cations of it.
Mrs. A. McDonald's fine pet collie
was killed by DR.. 7. w. Crump, U. S.
government veterinarian. Mrs. Nc
Donald brought the dog to him, and
though he is forbidden by the govern
ment to handle any private cases, the
situation was too serious to permit
his avoidance and he ordered the dog
killed When it was brought to him,
it was biting at its mistress coat and
it's body was jerking spasmodically.
1t had been unable to drink, though
evidencing great thirst.
1t is believed the dog, which was re-
Gently in the country for some time,
NAV have contracted the disease by
being bitten by a skunk or rabbit.
Chief of Police r. L. Neill had three
different calls at short intervals a few
days ago from people who had been
observing three dogs in various parts
of town that were acting strangely.
In each case when he found the dogs
they had the clerks" with foam drip
ping from their mouths. He shot all
three.
DIR. Crump and Mr.. Neill request
The Sun to ask Flagstaff people to
be observant. If their dogs can be
kept off the streets it will be better.
The instant a dog is seen acting
strangely, as if unduly excited, or
Jerking" foaming at the mouth,
showing distress when drinking, or
otherwise acting out of the ordinary
it should be shut up and reported. One
mad dog at large in the most dam
gerous stage of the disease, might
cause the death of many other dogs
and perhaps humans.
Mr.. Neill says the situation is en-
barrassing to him, because when he
has to kill a dog he is likely to make
an enemy. But in the interests of
public safety, if a dog does show in
dications of rabies, it will have to be
killed. So, to help protect your pet
from being bitten by a mad dog and
to play the game safely and public
spiritedly all around, please watch
and take care Of your dog.

The Colorado Pact Killers Facing Political Death

fair to Arizona. He points out no
fact, but charges in general that the
pact was wrong. He fears and fears
for Arizona, but points out nothing
concrete in which Arizona will lose
anything but the mess of legislative
heritage as embodied in our last gath
ering of political morons.
Neither Hunt, Elliott nor Douglas
seem to care how strong the mining
companies dig into the golden heart
of Arizona, but must hold up their
hands in holy horror that the state
should accept development except
from the hands of the mentally de-
funct democracy.
So far as former Governor Camp
bell is concerned, he is not entitled
to much credit for the idea or items
in the compact. He is entitled to
credit for not being chump enough to
prevent the advancement of the prof.
ect and with brains enough to know
that the pact did not contain any
deadly virus, but could be vehicle

EVANS SCHOOL BOYS TO RIDE
TO FLAGSTAFF WITH LEADER

Eight future captains of industry,
the sons of the country's foremost
magnates, have signed up for the
summer course at Evans ranch at
Flagstaff, and headed by S. David
Evans, head of the school at Tangue
Verde, will make the trip from Tue
son to this place by horseback.
The group left on their long ride
here on Wednesday. With Mr.. Evans
will be George A. Burden, retired Iowa
banker, who is an intimate friend of
the head of Evans school, and who
will spend a part Of the summer at
the Flagstaff ranch.
The trip will be made by way OF
Globe and the Sierra Anchas. A camp
cook and horse wrangler are being
brought. All food and clothing is
carried on pack horses.
Mrs. Evans will come by train.
The boys participating in the ride
are Tom Behan, Norton Conway,
Hugh Curtis, F. Hamlin, H. M. Merri-
man, G. H. Tupper; D. Sutphen and
H. Binney.
This is the sixteenth year that Mr..
Evans has conducted a summer school
at his Flagstaff ranch.

of the others elected was named and

WHERE DO YOU WANT
TO PARK, IF EITHER?

There's lot of discussion for and
against the proposed plan to limit
parking of local automobiles in the
downtown business streets to not
more than 20 minutes, requiring cars
that are to stand longer to be parked
in the vacant property between the
post office and the Masonic temple.
Some Of our car owners feel THAI
they should be privileged to park
their cars in the street near their
places of business all day. Others are
willing to have the time limited.
The purpose of the proposed ruling
was to make more room in the busl-
ness section for tourists. 1t was felt
that with local cars occupying so much
of the available space many tourists
would be unable to park in the busl-
ness section and the result would be
the loss of a good deal of business.
1t is easy to start an argument on
the subject. The city council has the
power to finish it, and likely will soon
either adopte the ruling or definitely
shelve it.

NEGRESS BEATS UP WHITE
WOMAN; FORMERS HUBBY
POKED FOR IMPERTINENCE

Mrs. Peter Sullivan, colored, was
fined $50 yesterday morning by Police
Magistrate S. B. Gilliland on the
charge of beating Mrs. Cal Feather
stone, white, on the head and arm
with a stick or club.
Then there was more excitement.
Sullivan, the woman's husband,
counted out $40 of the fine. City
Marshal R. L. Neill told him he was
$40 short. Sullivan flirted a ten dol
lar bill IN the officers face. Which
was more than Reub could stand and
he handed the black a smash on the
jaw that probably felt as loud as it
sounded.
A complaint was entered against
Mr.. Neill, which may, or may not, be
acted upon.
Public feeling over the matter is
running high. Mrs. Featherstone is a
semi-invalid. She was so badly beat
en- that she tainted twice before doc
tor was found. DIR. Francis attended
her. the quarrel was said to have
been over the children of the two
women.
Sullivan is porter at the Weather

arrested recently following the theft
of $40 from Mrs. B. A. Cameron while
she was attending Rotary meeting
at the Weatherford He was releas-
ed shortly afterward for lack of evil
dence
The matter will be investigated fur
ther, perhaps by committee of Flag
staff citizens, as many are highly in
censed at both Sullivan and his wife
and do not feel that they are needed
in Flagstaff.

SYKES, FATHER AND SON,
INVENT CARBURETOR THAT
PROMISES GREAT RESULTS

Stanley E. Sykes and his son, Guy
Sykes, are experimenting with a new
carburetor they have invented and
which, if it continues to perform as
well as it has so far will make auto
mobilists thoroughly happy and will
greatly reduce the cost of operation OF
automobiles.
Though they haven't perfected 1t as
yet they expect to be able to. II al
ready has given remarkable results IN
long-sustained tests. Their Studebaker
car. which had been using gallon OF
gas to every IL miles, averaged IA
miles to the gallon all the way to NO
gales and back, the trip having re-
Gently been made by Mr.. and Mrs.
Stanley Sykes and Guy.
They have used it on Ford car
with signal success, striking an aver
age of 20 miles to the gallon.
The new carburetor will be patent
ed. The inventors, it is sincerely hop
ed. will make a big success with 1T,
not only because that will mean lot
to car users, but because they are OF
the sort that riches and success won't
spoil a bit, no matter in how great
measure they may be heaped upon
them.

When Mr. Mcdonald learned of the
new tentative proposition in which the
city proposed to bond for $395,OO0,
take up ali but $4,000 of the 1924, 900
Indebtedness to the Santa Fe COM
pany, build a new 50-million gallon
reservoir and do the necessary devel-
opment work at the city springs, he
expressed his hearty approval of the
new idea, adding that all water pipe
had gone up some $500 per ton and
even at this advance it was almost inn
possible to secure delivery. Also, ce-
ment and material necessary in build
ing the new reservoir had not advanc-
ed. He believed that there is an ur-
gent necessity for quick action by the
city and railroad company since nom
taxable bonds could be issued now
and sold at much better prices, for
the reason bond buyers were anxious
to load up before the present agita-
ton for laws preventing the sale of
non-taxable bonds are passed.
