MARINES RECORD AS
RECORDER JUSTIFIES
ANOTHER TWO YEARS

Howard Marine, republican 'candi-
date for reelection as county recorder,
has made an enviable record during
his first term in office 1t justifies
his reelection. That he will have the
place for another term is practically
certain.
Mr.. Marine has conducted the office
economically. The state examiners
after each visit here have compli-
mented him on the way the books and
records are kept. It is an important
office. Running it in sipshod, care
less manner would lead to costly and
troublesome complications in the var
lous records that are taken care Of in'
the office. The work has been done
as it should be, and the public has
been treated with the utmost courtesy
and considerations
Mr.. Marine came to Flagstaff in
1894. He first worked asa teamster
in the woods, later driving the stage
on the Flagstaff Grand Canyon route.
In 1898 he, enlisted with the sRoose-
velt regiment for the Spanish -Ameri-
cam war. At the end of the war he
returned to Flagstaff, soon going into
the haberdashery business. In 1907 he
~ .~~'S.. -~' sNAAlu was CllSdSCu III
mining in that state and this until
1920, Durirg that time he did a
great deal Of abstracting in recorders
offices, letting experience that came.
IN han ny when he was elected recorder
two gears ago. During the two years
Preceding his election as recorder, he
!, was connected with the sheriff's office
of this county, where he had charge
of the books and records.
Mr.. Marine gees about his work in
a quiet manner. 1t is thoroughly
done. An instance is the registration
of the voters. When the books closed
/ just before the primary election this
summer it was found that he had reg
istered more voters than were regis
tered altogether in the 1922 campaign.
With the close of the registration
books last week it was found that he
| had registered 239 more voters than
the total for the 1922 campaign.
A vote for Mr.. Marine is vote for
efficiency, honesty, real service and
! careful economy in one of the most
important offices in this county.

/ its driver, NJ. j. Pilkington, and Joe
! Archambeau of Prescott, who was rid,
ing in the car as the special represen-
tative of The Sun.
| Mr.. Kolb also took some movies of
| the car as it was travelling through
Grand Canyon village.
Strange to say, two men were tied
/ In the guessing as to the miles the
/ car would cover and two were tied in
the guess as to the number of gal
| Ions of gas that would be used. Hor-
/ ace (Doc) Wyatt and S. L. White each
| guessed $3.50 miles, the actual figure
being 1851 miles. Earl Thomas and
Kimberlin Carlisle each guessed 1873
gallons Of gasoline, the right being
1914 gallons. The Federal Blue Pen
nant cord tire prizes were split be-
tween them.
/ The gas consumption was an aver
age of only one gallon to every 30,08
miles travelled. Considering that for
five hours during the 100 hours con-
tinuous running of the motor the car
was standing still, the motor running
| at high speed, the low gas consump-
tion was remarkable. Had the car
been travelling all of the time the aver
age miles per gallon would have been
even higher.
Among the towns visited during the
100 hours were Prescott (twice).
Grand Canyon (five times), Winslow,
/ Holbrook, Springerville, st. Johns,
| Concho, Seligman, Ashfork and Will
liams. The drivers, who spelled
each other at intervals, were: Mr.. Car
ron, Mr.. Pilkington, Hugh Tillman.
1 Jack Peasants, Marvin Leamon, Ray
Bramstead and j. B. Bradford, the six
last named all employees of Mr.. Car
ron.
/ When the run was over, several men
piled into the car and drove around
town. 1t was shown that the engine,
which hadn't been touched during the
run, was running more perfectly than
ever and would run smoothly throttled
down to miles an hour.

cially as the nonresident license under
the state game law is so much higher.
Mr.. Pratt believes the shooting sea-
son will be open a month. He says
the deer are, extremely fat. Some OF
the old bucks have horns that pass all
understanding of people down in this
country.
Mr.. Drake, an employee Of the
Grand Canyon Cattle CO., brought
news of the opening of the Kaibab
to hunters the first Of this week. But
Mr.. Pratt's information is more def
mite, as he had been requested to give
notice in Flagstaff. Me- Locke has
charge, of the matter for the govern,
ment and it is assumed that he Will
collect the license fees.
Mr.. Pratt doesn't think much Of

would be easy to corral the deer, to
the number of thousand or so every
night, at Three Lakes, their chief
source of water, where there alreaS7
is big new corral. Then they could
be trucked to this side, he says; but as
far as driving them away from their
regular runs and across the big chasm
into an entirely new country, he does
not believe it can be DONE
