COFFIN, SIMPSON, FLETT
AND MITCHELL In COUNCIL
RACE; NOW TEN OF THEM

More candidates for city council
are looming up, more actually having
entered the race, others connected
with it by rumor which, in some cases,
seems to be unfounded.
Last week The Sun named seven
candidates who had entered to fill
the position of mayor and six council
men. They were Mayor Tom E. Pull
liam, Charles w. Isham and /. b.
Koch, present members, and Loren W..
Cress, w. B. Raudebaugh, Herb Asse-
lin and Coils Mayflower.
This week Paul H. Coffin, Ray H.
Simpson and Jack Mitchell and DR..
Eric S. Flett got definitely into the
race. Billy Friedlein's name was in
troduced, but he says nothing doing
a-tall. Walter Runke, also said TO
be candidate, says he amt no such
thing. jim Tillman, another one nam
ed, said this week before he left for
Phoenix, it is reported, that he dis
tinctly is not candidate. John w.
Weatherford is being urged to run,
but said yesterday afternoon that he
does not think he will.
Nomination papers for Messrs.
Pulliam, Koch, Isham, Coffin and
Raudebaugh have already been filed
with City Clerk Clarence T. Pulliam.
It is reported that Herbert Asselin
has decided not to become candi-
date. That leaves at least ten men
definitely in the race, and a chance
there will be more. Nomination pa
pers have to be filed by May 6, 50
there is still time. The contest is good
natured and there'lf be no hard feel.
ings anywhere, apparently, so the
more the merrier. All the men in the
race and all who have been mentions
ed are good men, who would fill the
places creditably, SO there's no cause
for worry, sorrow or displeasure.
Election will be on May 26.

neer and resident of Flagstaff here
until last fall, died Monday morning
in Los Angeles, and was buried there

Mr.. Milligan's health began to fail

of Miss Mable Milligan, his only
daughter, beloved teacher in Flag
staff city school. He rallied from an
attack of pneumonia and then was ia
ken to, Los Angeles by one OF his
sons, Lauros Milligan, and lived with
him since.

living with a brother OF Mr.. Milligan,
in Santa Fe, N. NJ; and two sons
Lauros of Los Angeles, and Herbert

A letter received yesterday from
Lauros Milligan says his father was

WRITE A SLOGAN AND WIN
A PRIZE; THEN JOIN In
AND HELP BEAUTIFY CITY

An ambitious plan for stimulating
interest and rivalry in home beautifi-
cation by Flagstaff home-owners has
been jointly worked out by the civics
committees of the Flagstaff Woman'S
club and the Flagstaff Junior Cham
Der of Commerce and should have a
big influence in improving the city's
general good looks.
Starts off with a slogan contest.
Two Flagstaff women have joined in
offering SIS for the best slogan descrip-
tive of or stimulating to the plan to
beautify the city. The slogans offer

house, at which there will be adj
dresses, music, practical talks on
home Identification, etc., and the
outlining of several contests, among
them the raising of flower gardens,
vegetable gardens, etc. There will be
prizes offered. Probably a prize also
for best general home improvement
will be shown. Full particulars will
have been worked out and will be an
nounced at the meeting.
Then, later, there will be a Flag
staff flower show, the entries all
homegrown flowers. This also will
be at the Woman's club house and
ribbons will be awarded.
Here is an opportunity for every
body to pull together and themselves
do lot and encourage others to also
help in general improvement in the
appearance of our homes, lawns and
the town generally.

WEATHERFORD EXPECTS
TO TAKE PEAKS ROAD TO
TOP BEFORE END OF YEAR

John w. Weatherford believes that
he will be able to finish the road tC
the top of the San Francisco Peaks
before snow flies again. 1t will be a
few weeks before he can start con-
struction work, because there still is
a lot of snow on the higher levels.
Many are urging Mr. Weatherford
to open the road up next month on
a half-toll basis. Within short dis
tance of the point to which it is now
built one can see into several adjoin-
ing states; in fact, get nearly as good
a view in several directions as from
the extreme tip of the highest peak.
With the completion of the road, it
and Flagstaff will undoubtedly come
in for a great deal or advertising that
is not now available. The fame of
the road to the top of Pixies Peak
is worldwide. Yet those who have
been there and also have been to the
top of the San Francisco peaks are
unanimous in their claims that The
scene from the latter is far more ex-
tensive and great deal more color
full, interesting and magnificent.
Without doubt, when the boulevard is
finally finished clear to the top a
great deal of advertising of it will be
done by the Santa Fe railroad, and it
will vie with Grand Canyon in attract
ing tourists to Arizona.
Mr.. Weatherford hopes to finish
grading to the end of the road this
year, and get busy on the finer sur
facing early next year. Many made
the trip in their cars up the road last
summer and were agreeably surprised
with the fine work that had been
done, the elimination of all heavy
grades and the ease, comfort and safe
ty with which the trip could be made.
Without surfacing, it is a better road
than many of our roads. After sur
facing it will be what it is planned to
make it, veritabIe boulevard. An
other feature that will make it all the
more attractive to autoists is the fact
that it will have much easier grades
throughout and be safer than the road
to the top of Pixies Peak.

1t is believed all these prelimin-

crete work as soon in the spring as

The cost of a 50-gallon reservoir,
the same size as the one we have at

ON THE SIDE LINES

Walter Johnson will be on the
firing line for the Nationals in the
second setto of the series with the
Tigers this afternoon, starting at
$3.50. Manager Cobb is expected to
use Ed Wells. like Whitehill. youth
full left-hander, who has done some
sterling work for the Bengals in his
first season in fast company.
Johnny Bassler was Detroit's most
prolific hitter yesterday. with a trio
of safe swats. but Jones pair of
doubles and Cobb's triple and single
proved more important scoring factors.
McNeely's thr~e-baEger in the
fourth was a ponderous drive that
carried far over the head of Wingo
to the bleachers wall. This wallop
earned him applause when he came
up again in the sixth and he respond
ed with a single that figured In
registering the second run.
Cobb's productive triple in the
eighth also was hard-hit blow, but
q fielder more accomplished than
Goslin in going back for. balls would
have shared it. Goose made an ear
nest effort, but missed connections by
narrow margin.
Shirley came through with a ring
ing single when sent in to hit for;

appeared for Russell in, the eighth.
failed to fill the bill, hosting weakly
to O'Rourke.
Although Goslin's fly to Rigney,
with Harris on second and Rice on
first in round 6. was scored as a twin
killing, with Harris doubled off sec
ond when Rigney tossed to O'Rourke.
the third out really was due to Rice

on past his boss, who had pulled up
in an effort to regain the midway

BaSsler's rap to right in round 3,
the first hit of the game, bounded into
the pavilion seats and was limited to
two bases under the local ground
rules.
O'Rourke displayed his we'll known
nerve in the fourth when he travelled
deep into center field and took
