EARL CERMANY'S AUTO
HOPS OVER; ONE HURT

Earl Germany's Studebaker taxi car
turned completely over sidewise Mon
day evening on the Tuba City road,
cutting one of the passengers quite
lot on the left side of his face, near
his eye, laming Earl some, merely
giving the others shaking up.
Earl had taken four of the Evans
school boys to Grand Canyon that
morning, then to Tuba City. They
were returning to Flagstaff. About
seven o'clock, as they were coming
along about 80 miles an hour near Spi-
derived tank, this side Of the Giddings
ranch, a steering knuckle broke and
the car left the road. 1t was fairly
level country, the only Instructions
being rocks and cedars. The car went
over, righting up on its wheels again.
1t was badly wrecked, especially the
top and windshield.
M. Williams of Boston was in the
front seat with Earl. In the back seat
were r. Warren Of Boston, d. Lock-
wood of New York and K. Comstock
of Detroit. All the boys are about
20. Williams, the one most injured,
was unconscious about half an hour.
Earl was dazed for few moments.
Mrs. j. d. Dunn's Flagstaff-Tuba
City mail truck, driven by Frank Nc
Mahon, came along and brought the
bunch in. They got here about IL
that night and DR.. e. S. Flett fixed
Williams up. He was around next
day as usual Earl went out next
morning to bring his car in.

FOREST OFFICIALS AND LOCAL
STOCKMEN FIX RANGE FEES

Stockmen representing the different
communities on the Coconino forest
met in Flagstaff on Saturday with
Forest Supervisor E. G. Miller, G. f..
Rachford, grazing inspector of Wash
ington, D. c.; James Scott, grazing
fees for the next ten years.
Mr.. Rachford made talk on range
appraising. Mr.. Hussey explained
the methods used in comparing out
side range with the forest range. He
also explained how the service arrived
at the tentative fees, going on to
show that the fees are based in the
case of each permittee on his individ-
ual range, the factors being forage
on his range, water, topography and
accessibility, and that he is also al
lowed a reduction for improvement
and maintenance.
Mr.. Scott explained that there will
be no new fees until 1925, and if a
decrease it will take effect then; but
if an increase it will not take effect
until 1926, and then will be spread
over a period of four years.
Local stockmen are well pleased
with the new arrangements being
made by the forest service and are
offering their entire cooperation.

SCATTERCUN MEN HAD A
GOOD TIME ON SUNDAY

There was big crowd at the Flag
staff Gun club shoot on Sunday, the
shooting lasting nearly four hours. A
bunch of spectators of both sexes
were there, and everyone admired the
dandy new concrete shooting plat
form. Flagstaff doesn't need to ex-
aggerate or even to tell half the truth
in claiming the best gun club quar-
ters in Arizona
Here are the high scores in the sin
giles, each having 25 chances:
Frank M. Gold, "a; Ray Babbitt,

Dannie Campbell and Wild Raude-
baugh did their shooting Sunday at
Prescott. Wild copped high money
for shooting and between the two in
vaders brought home all kinds of can
dy, hunting knives and other prizes.
Prescott and Williams gun clubs
are expected here at 10 o'clock this
coming Sunday to take part in the
local shoot and get familiar with our
trap and surroundings in preparation
for the state shoot. Flagstaff Gun
club will give a prize for the high
outside gun and will serve lunch on
the grounds, so that those shooting
may continue until the start of the
baseball game.

THE FEDERATED CHURCH
CONGREGATION SUBSCRIBE.
S35,OOO ON SWEAR BASIS

The columns of The Sun some
weeks ago notified the public of the
proposed addition to be made to the
Federated church, to cost $4,000.
Last week the whole congregation
was solicited and everyone urged to
give to their limit This was done,
and the wholehearted response by the
members resulted in subscription
list of $4,000 for period of five
years. As this covers all other
church expenses in addition to the
proposed structure, in reality it
means approximately $4,000 for the
new building.
In view of the fact that the GYM
nasium and other social features it
is being proposed to place in building,
are to be made of general use for all,
the church being community church
will make an appeal for general sup
port the week beginning June.
The half page advertisement else
where in our columns is worth study
ing. Since this is community enter
prise everyone will be interested in
its development.
The excavation for the new build
ing is practically complete, the dirt
being used to regrade Grand Canyon
and Aspen avenues. 1t is hoped to
commence the building this summer.

CROWD COMING EARLIER
TO MORMON LAKE; SAYS
QUARANTINE A BENEFIT

/. H. Swisher, manager of Monte
yuma Lodge at Mormon lake, reports
that the vacation bunch is coming in
there much earlier this year and, con-
sidering the unusually large number
he hac booked from the south part
of the state, he expects this to be his
banner year.
Instead of being handicap to us"
he said, "the hoof and mouth quar-
antine is of great benefit, for it is
keeping in Arizona and turning this
way many fine people in the south
part Of the state who otherwise would
spend their vacations in California.
And the introduction they will have
to our delightful climate, scenery and
other vacation advantages will mean
a steady increase, year after year, in
summer visitors from the south"
Mr.. Swisher says Flagstaff is miss
ing one of the finest opportunities
ever in not building and keeping a
first-class road between Flagstaff
and Mormon lake. Nearly all the
people who come to Mormon lake for
vacations, some of them for all sum-
mer, would be delighted to often mo-
tor to Flagstaff" he said, "But they
do not because the road is bad. A
good road would add a great deal to
Flagstaff's business"
Incidentally, there is a lot Of work
being done now on the road. Below
Lake Nary, instead of following down
the floor of the valley, it viii be on
the side hill, out Of reach of the
floods and less likely to become
boggy.
The government road building is
again on below Mormon lake and
long stretch will be hard-surfaced this
summer. 1t is planned to connect
with the Pine road at the county line.
Mr.. Swisher came in to meet his
family, who came from Long Beach,
Calf, Saturday night and will spend
the summer at Mormon Lake.

AUTO TIME FLAGSTAFF TO
FREDONIA WILL BE CUT
TOADAY, CAMPBELL SAYS

Sheriff w. A. Campbell returned
Sunday from Fredonia much impress
sed with the road building program
up there for this summer, and believes
Fredonia and southern Utah merch-
ants and stockmen will before long
come to Flagstaff for their wholesale
buying, that livestock of that section
will be driven from the Arrowhead
trail and Zuni national park.
Supervisor McPheeters of Kaibab
national forest, in this county north
of Grand Canyon, will this summer
build road from Fredonia eastward
to the west boundry of the Kaibab
national forest connecting with a good
forest road already built. He will
then extend the latter, eastward,
through the forest, to Houserock
valley. As there already is a fine
road from the Arrowhead trail to st.
George, Utah, the completion of Mr.
McPheeters' program will leave a
good road from ST. George all the way
to Houserock valley. In the latter
road to Lees Ferry there is one bad
stretch, near Jacobs well, and Mr..
McPheeters and Fredonia people hope
tHlS county VIII SpeHu YOUV OF 30
there this summer, overcoming that
sandy stretch.
1t is 221 miles from Flagstaff to
Fredonia. Mr. Campbell drove it
easily in two days. With the road
complete as above indicated, he says
it can be made in one day. 1t will
be an easy days trip, he says, when
the bridge over the Colorado river at
Lees Ferry is built, and he believes
that the building of better roads north
of the river will hasten the building
of the bridge, because additional pres
sure for building it will be brought
on the U. S. government by southern
Utah people.
The bridge will cut Is miles from
the distance between here and FIRE.

most dangerous stretch of road.
There is a point on the proposed
Fredonia-Lees Ferry highway from
which very fine road runs. to Bright

the canyon to tourists from the north,

BOY SCOUTS HAD BIG
FEED WITH ROTARIANS;
DEDICATION. AND RALLY

Boy Scouts sure can eat. They
proved it Tuesday night when the
four Flagstaff troops were guests of
the Rotary club at big dinner in
the ballroom of City Recreation park.
There were about IS Scouts there, and
places were arranged for them at the
long tables, on which food had al
ready been spread when they marched
in, troop by troop, and we're formally
presented by Scout Executive McCor-
mick to C. B. Wilson, president of the
Rotary club.
Then the boys were seated, accord
ing to a pre-arranged plan, in twos
and threes with the Rotarians and
Rotaryanns who were their hasts and
hostesses.
Each Rotary couple also had one or
more adult guests, and there were
nearly 200 in all at the dinner.
The event, besides being a regular
meeting of Rotary, was Scout camp
rally and dedication of their new
quarters in City Recreation park, the
building recently erected by the Flag
staff Gun club and generously shared
with the Scouts.
It was about o'clock when Presi-
dent C. B. Wilson called order. There
was song, with Miss Elsa Myers at
the piano. Then, troop by troop, the
Scouts marched in, one sponsored by
the normal school with Professor r.

Clarkdale had the largest number
of participants, which accounts in
some measure for her record. Black
of Clarkdale was high point man,
making 26 of the total of 36 points
amassed by his team. He won first
in the pole vault, low hurdles, high
hurdles, broad jump and mile, and
third in the 220-yard dash. His spec
tacular finish Of the mile run was one
of the high spots of the meet.
Black had entered solely for the
purpose of competition, not thinking
a miller, and was jogging
leisurely around, keepig we'll up with
the field, when he discovered that
everyone else, with the exception of
one man, Chacon of Winslow, who
was leading by hundred yards, had
lost pep. Clark started sprinting on
the last 800 yards and passed Chacon
ten yards from the tape, taking the
event and making a finish that will
never be forgotten.

MEN AND WOMEN STAGED
SUGGEST SUNDAY; NO.
ONE MAD, BUT ALL SORE

Did you see Venus and Adonis at
the Flagstaff baseball park last Sun
day? !.
Referring to the two baseball
games?
There were two big flocks of
Venuses and Adonises.
True, the former, an observer would
be forced to deduce, might be more
adept at swinging the rolling pin and
broom than bats of ash; and the
Adonises likely would hold out longer
and sweat less toting fountain pens
and tying up bundles. But, they were
willing, and what they didn't succeed
in doing with bat and ball they tried
hard to do, anyway.
For that they have the gratitude of
the large crowd who came out to
watch the fun and who got so many
hearty, wholesome, appetizing laughs
during the afternoon that they pro-
longed their lives an aggregate of

FLAGSTAFF BOY SCOUTS
RESCUED DROWNING BOY:
RESTORED HIM TO LIFE

Flagstaff Boy Scouts last Fri
day afternoon repaid with inter-
est every cent that locally has
been donated to their cause,
when Boy Scouts, fast and ac-
curately applying first aid
brought back life to another boy
who had been under the water
for ten minutes in City Recrea-
ton park lake.
The victim of the accident, who
would have lost his life but for the
intelligent work of the Scouts, was
Manuel Mier, 15-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Salvador Mier.
The Boy Scouts who applied first
aid and revived Mier were Billy Har-
rison, Clifford Ward, Johnny Metz
and Omar Calhoun. Working with
them were former Scouts Paul LaRue
and Vincent Curtis.
Credit for the rescue of Mier from
the lake largely goes to Calhoun,
who, while the bunch were searching
for Mier, found him and with the aid
of the others pulled him to shore.
Mier knew almost nothing about
swimming. He got beyond his depth
and is believed to have had cranp.
He sank and someone who noticed
that he did not reappear gave the
alarm.
The other boys, swimming some
distance away, got to the place as
soon as possible. Rev. John Burman
of the Methodist Mexican mission,
some distance away on the opposite
bank, hurried around to the point
nearest where the boy had sunk.
The search for Mier began. Final
ly Calhoun found him some distance
away from where he was supposed to
have disappeared. The boys pulled
him out of the mud at the bottom of
the lake and up the steep bank.
Mr.. Burman turned the limp body
face downward, grabbed it about the
middle and raised it, emptying lot
