Flagstaff, naturally, as we are supply
headquarters for the store and hotel
needs of Proprietor Swisher. But
Flagstaff would get great deal more
if we had a fine road all of the 2S
miles to the lake. Practically all of
the resorters have their cars with
ing the lake with Flagstaff, we would
have dozens of the cars in here every
day and evening, for it is beautiful
ride, as far as scenery is concerned.
Mormon Lake road is much better,
though, than many Flagstaff people
realize. Repair work has been and is
being done, and much of the road, es-
pecially along Lake Mary and below
to within four miles of Mormon Lake,
is fast. There are some rough spots
in the last four miles, but all Of the
road is safe.
The course of the road for q long
distance below Lake Mary has been
changed, eliminating the low muddy
parts, so that it would take an un-
usually large amount Of rain to do
any material damage. One can drive
the entire distance very comfortably
in an hour and a quarter. In fact, one
car made it comfortably on Sunday in
less than an hour.
At Lake Mary, also, there are many
campers, here for summer vacation.
Mr.. Lashmet, the lessee, has started
building stone community house
and other mpro m S
this year and next. Just now his
time is somewhat taken up with con-
tract work in New Mexico, which was
damaged by the recent heavy storms
there. But he may be depended upon
to add lot to the comfort of camp
ing at Lake Mary.
Fishing at Lake Mary is better this
summer than ever.
Lake Mary and Mormon Lake will
have a great deal to do with the fu-
ture growth and business Of Flagstaff.
Surfaced roads connecting US with
them will hasten that growth and
prosperity.

Even the recent graduate or pre-
sent student and the members of the
faculties of most of our leading col
leges and universities would find
things different in this local institu-
tion than they are accustomed to, if
Upton Sinclair in right. For he has
recently declared in a book that is be-
ing widely read by educators that the
faculties of most our largest Ameri-
can institutions of learning are bound
around and around and tightly down in
yards and yards of uncuttable, un-
breakable red tape. They do not dare
introduce any innovations in teaching.
They seem bound by principle to make
each study as tedious and unintercst-
ing as possible.
Not so at the Flagstaff Normal.
The faculty is allowed full initiative,
is encouraged to capture the fancy
and stimulate the imagination of the
students, to adopt whatever methods
will make his studies most alive and
vital and attractive to him.
It is impossible to set forth all that
was noted in recent visit of few
hours to the Normal school. But fol-
towing are few that come to mind
right now, some time following the
visit, during which no notes were TAX
en-:
The school operates with an admin
istrative force less than half as large
as that of any other educational in
stitution of its size. Many that are
smaller have twice to three times as
many administrative employees. At
this Normal there is no registrar; no
vice-president, no assistant secretary
or secretary's stenographer or pub
licity man. There is President L. B.
McMullen, Mrs. Carolyn Smith, the
business secretary, and Miss Alberta
Platz, DR.. McMullen's secretary. Part
of the time Mrs. Smith has an assis-
tant.

TRAINING RATHER TO
BE ALARM CLOCK

DR.. L. A. Adams of the Univer-
sity of Illinois, who is teaching
biology here at the summer Normal
school, say he's got his pet rattle
snake almost trained to rattle at
the right time in the morning to
wake him UP. J.
His snakeship resides in pail
in the cottage occupied by DR..
Adams on the Normal campus.
Not strange, considering the
snakes presence, that DR.. Adams
is the sole human occupant of that
cottage.
Every morning when the doctors
alarm clock goes off, the snake sets
up animated rafting. Couple of
times now, DIR. Adams has put the
silencer on the clock to see if at
the regular hour the snake remem-
bered and did his work. Both
times he was just little late, and
as the doctor is a man of very
punctual habits, he feels that he
cannot as yet depend on the snakes
accuracy and dispense with the
alarm clock altogether.
During a storm the other day
another pail containing a half-dozen
garter snakes was tipped over.
When the doctor arrived he found
the snakes comfortably disposed
around the cottage in various
pleasant places. His first thought
was of the rattler, and his sigh of
relief was prodiguous when he
found that the pail was right side
up with the lid firmly on.

F. L. M. LOG
r. R. BRIDGE,
LAKE MARY.
IS WRECKED

A log swinging loose, one end strik-
ing steel brace on the overhead-sup-
port steel bridge on the Flagstaff
Lumber Co. logging railroad at Wal
nut canyon, just this side of Lake
Mary, Wednesday afternoon, hurled
the 100-foot span and three cars load
ed with logs to the bottom of the can
yon, go feet below.
The engine, coal tender and one
gondola car had safely reached the
other span, the gondola, however, by
such narrow margin that it was left
hanging over the edge of the gorge.
Several cars loaded with logs at the
rear of the train also stayed on the
track.
It was one of those accidents that so
frequently happen in which fatalities
are averted by sensationally close mar
gins. There were several workmen
and some Mormon Lake campers rid
ing on the coal tender and the car
Immediately following. But no one
was injured, evenly slightly.
The accident occurred early in the
afternoon. The train was in charge
of George Nichols, engineer; Will
Link, brakeman, and j. C. Pollard,
fireman.
The steel bridge at that point is of
two spans, one a hundred feet long
and the other hundred and fifty feet
long. 1t was the shorter span, the one
toward the south, that went down.
The bridge cost $25,00O. 1t was
bought several years ago from the
Arizona Eastern r. r.
The wires were down and it was
some time before the accident was
known at the general office here.
Then unable to raise the logging
camp at Mormon lake by telephone, a
party from the office went by auto to
Mormon lake. There they found that
another engine was off the track, a
quarter mile this side of camp. 1t
was not until yesterday morning that
this was got back on the track to per-
nit the big log loader, which was be-
hind it, to be brought to the scene of
the wreck.
A false structure is being rushed up
and it is believed it may be possible to
have logs coming from the woods to
the mill by Monday. The supply at
the mill is only day or so ahead OF
the saving capacity; so every effort is
being made by General Manager VIM
M. Cady, Jr., and General Superin-
tendent F. E. Pipes to get the COM
munication with the woods reestab-
lished just as soon as possible and
thereby avoid temporary shutdown
at the sawnill.

Miss Emily Ethel, Normal school
librarian; F. A. Cotton, president of
the Normal Teachers college of La

Henry F. Ashurst were the speakers
at Tuesdays Rotary club meeting.
President G. B. Wilson right after
the introduction of guests turned the
gavel over to Henry Albers, chairman
for the day, who at once started going
one of the most interesting programs
the club has had The first entertain
er was little Mary Louise Hutson,
seven-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Grover Hutson. This talented
little lady gave pianologue in the
most approved grown-up-artiste fash
ion.
Miss Ethel, whose brilliant mind
and charming personality make her
always interesting, was called upon to
tell something of her recent European
visit to Europ and Asia. She said the
fact she was from Flagstaff interest
ed many people, especially as 'it was
so far away" One old English lady

Arabian university at Cairo, the most
powerful force in Mohamedism to-
day, and wove into the narrative a
description of the peculiar educational
customs there. Her hearers heard
with regret her announcement in con-
cluding that time did not allow her
to say anything about her visits to
Monte Carlo and Paris.
DIR. Cotton, at Mr.. Albers' request,
was introduced by DR.. L. B. McMullen,
president of the Flagstaff Normal
school, who said DR.. Cotton for six
years was deputy superintendent, then
for six years more superintendent of
public instruction in Indiana, for the
last Is years having been president
of Normal Teachers college at La

DR.. Cotton prefaced his remarks
about the school system of that state
by saying that while he had arrived
here only a few minutes before the
meeting, he passed through here rs

These people work, intelligently,
rapidly, long hours. Perhaps with
people of average or mediocre ability
twice or three times as many would be
required, and the work would not be
done as we'll.
At the summer school, now in ses-
sion, there are 600 students. They are
all either hard at work or nearly as
hard at play all of the time. There are
no spooning couples on the campus.
The afternoon the visit was made, the
tennis tournament was in progress.
Male and female singles and doubles

in the main corridor of the admins

Ridgely with 4 big group of girls,

But discipline was in evidence; not
the discipline of strictness, but of
earnest application to the thing in
hand. The students could do as they
pleased, but they pleased to pay strict
attention to the thing they were do

That man Ridgely, by the way, in

ARE ARIZONA INDIANS
RESIDENTS OF ARIZONA

The Indian citizenship bill that was
recently passed by congress is Great
ing quite bit of stir, throught and
study in various parts of Arizona.
By it all of the Indians, both men and
women, are now full-fledged citizens
of the United States, and as such en-
titled to vote as fully as any other
citizen. OF course they are subject
to the educational qualifications the
same as any one else and under the
provisions of that law many of them
cannot pass the test. Yet, the young
er Indians have been attending school
and can vote, so that, especially IN
Apache, Navajo and Coconino counties
there is problem ahead of the county
administrations that may remain a
serious one for some years to come.
This week the attorney general of
Arizona has sent out letters to the
various county attorneys asking their
ideas upon one phase of this problem.
Many people think that because most
of the Indians live on Indian reserva-
tions they are not residents of the
state at all The idea is that Indian
reservations, like the District of Col
umbia and land purchased and held
by the government for the purpose of
forts, arsenals, navy yards and such
other uses, although they are surroun-
ded by a state and within its bound
aries, are not parts of the state. If
this is so, the Indians, and other cit
liens as well, who live on them are
not residents of the state at all.
During the absence of County Attor-
ney Frank Harrison, Judge Crosby,
VINO is looking after his office, is this
week working on the problem to as
sist the attorney general in getting
out his opinion on this highly import
ant matter.

FOLLOWING OPERATION

Mrs. Jack Baldwin of Mesa, who
had been visiting friends near Flag
staff, died at Mercy hospital on Tues
day following an operation by DIR.
Ralph Palmer of Mesa, who had been
called here on the case.
Mrs. Baldwin's case is described as
ectopic CESSATION rupture. Her con-
dition was so bad that there was little
hope of the operation saving her life
and it was certain she would die if not
operated on.
Mrs. Baldwin was the wife of a
building contractor of Mesa. He ar
rived here before the operation and on
Wednesday took the remains back to
Mesa for burial.

Trees Are Necessary
for "Hon,e Beautifut''

No lengthy explanation is needed to
back up the assertion that surround
ings are an important factor In Great
ing 1.-THE home beautiful" Well-kepf
lawns, properly-selccted shrubbery and
certain varieties of trees add an In
calculable value to the appearance Of
any home that is more than four walls
occupying the entire lot.
The following advice Is offered by
the American Tree association:
First, there is the consideration of
the kind of soil In which the tree must
grow, the climate, and the kind of tree
that will thrive. Thought must be
given to the location of the tree, the
space 1t will have in which to develop
and the variety that grows best in the
vicinity. 1t is we'll. also. to consider
whether 1t is not better to plant trees
of long life, such as the oak or syca-
maple or the poplar that mature after
short span of life. Whatever the
choice of the tree it Is deserving of
careful thought.
ut may be that In nearby wooded
sections there are many young trees
saplings or evergreens. the association
points out in urging you to send for a
free tree-planting folder. This of
course, makes an easy source of suppiS
with the advantage of obtaining trees
that live well In the vicinity. Expert
ence shows that 1t is often more salts
factory to buy nursery trees specially
raised for transplanting. AS piece Of
general advice 1t might be said that
eyergreens of five feet in height and
deciduous trees up to twelve feet
raised in nursery. will give tile hes!
results.
"The roots must not be bruised or
allowed to dry, and moist earth SHOULD
he kept around them until just before
they are put in the ground. This is
