CARL CARSON TO WEST POINT

Carl Carson, son Of A. w. Carson
of the Carson Studio, recently re-
ceived an appointment to the United
States military academy at West
Point. He was appointed by Repre-
sentative Carl Hayden to fill the place
of a former appointee who had failed
and is to report at the Point July |
of this year. Carl, who is but 19, is
at present student at the agricul-
tural and military college near Bryan,
Texas, where he is member of both
the basketball and the football teams
as well as the rifle club. He has had
two years there of military training
and hence will have the edge on some
of the other plebes at the Point and
will be in good condition to stand the
rigid 'fbracing" that is one of the i'm
portant lessons taught to all first
year men there.

CALL OF THE CANYON;
HOW IT APPEALED TO
PEOPLE OF FLAGSTAFF

"The Call of the Canyon" at the
Orpheum drew big houses here botn
day and night. 1t was run twice Tues
dav night to accommodate all those
who wanted to see how local scenery
appears in the movies. The scenario
writer hardly did justice to either the
story or scenery, but even at that IL
was splendid picture and there was
sorrow rather than laughter when our
famous depot was thrown on the
screen. The scene of the play, laid at
the old Thomas ranch on Oak creek,
was very good, except that old-timers
claimed the beauty of the old pioneer
home was ruined by too many i'm
provements," which maybe had been
necessary to make the picture taking
possible. It was rather sudden
change the scenario artist did, how
ever, when he moved his wedding
scene abruptly from Oak Creek can
Won back to 'sthe lot" in Hollywood,
amid cactus and hollyhocks, to a VIII
lage church, all garlanded up, right
after showing the Coax Greek stage,
filled with some of us supposed cow
punchers and sheepherders on their
way with "Carley" to the wedding Of
"Glen" and "Flo." Just how this
| transformation from the great out
shifted, rather mystified the realist,
streams and all could be SO suddenly
shifted, rather mistified the realist,
though of course, that does not count
with movie folks.
The scene around east of the San
Francisco Peaks, the wild storm, the
sheep dipping pens with Ramon Aso
strong -arming woolies into the dip;
jim Treagle, even cowman, in a
sheep camp, were all true to life. Noah
Beery, the star william with real whls-
kers, wasn't misplaced.
The local heart interest centered
about Oak Creek and it was regret
table that this, one OF the most beau
tiful of all scenic spots out OF doors,
could not be pictured as it is. Oak
Creek, like Grand Canyon, is impos-
sible of description. Attempts at
| painting it that a faint glimmer OF
the beauty and awe-inspiring grand
eur may be had is possible, but so far
no man has invented picture ma
chine that can possibly spread out the
| great panorama in any way to bring
about an adequate conception to the
minds eye. The human eye, each for
itself, alone, can only do that.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
walked two, good, long, hard miles
from the end of an automobile trip
for glimpse over the rim of Oak
Creek and thought it well worth while
though he did not get down into the
lheart of country that is q country
all in a class by itself.

BATTERY AND SCOUTING
LOOMED LARGE TUESDAY
WITH FLAGSTAFF ROTARY

Rotary's program on Tuesday was
extemporaneous, due to the absence
from the city of Ray Babbitt, who was
scheduled for the days Craftsmanship;
but under the direction of President
M. /. Powers there was not a duh
moment. Col. H. A. Hanigan OF
Phoenix, State Adjutant Harris of
Phoenix, DR. M. G. Fronske, DR.. A. j.
Mackey, Tom Mccullough, J. G.
Brown, Ed Babbitt and Boy Scout
Paul Carron were drafted for talks
and Mr.. Powers himself added a lot
to the interest of the program.
Not forgetting Rev. H. F. Softley
and Earl Slipher, who were late and
therefore had to stand on the stairs
and sing (hum, singh duet. Both
were fined, whether for being late or
the singing was not quite clear, and
Mr.. Powers and Mr.. Slipher each
later contributed a dollar respectively
for missing attendance and hardness.
Mr.. Powers told some stories, voted
for use next week in Cheerful Chirps.
He described several California Rot
ary meetings he attended during the
last few months. He expressed deep
regret over the death of FIR. G. Vabre,
whom he said we will miss in ou1
hearts for a long, long time.
Colonel Hanigan's talk was dyna-
mic. He got big laugh when at its
outset he stated emphatically that he
is in no way connected with oil inter-
ests and never accepted a dollar as
retainer or employed cabinet officer.
He spoke of the transfer of Flagstaff
Battery D and the substitute here of
howitzer company, of which more
in another column; then paid splendid
tribute to the Boy Scouts.
Colonel Hanigan said he is resolved
never to address any gathering with
out speaking about the Boy Scouts.

he should devote to the guard. He
handed in his resignation several
months ago. Lieutenant G. A. Boen-
itsch is lieutenant of Battery d and
will remain with the same rank in
