LESHMET new OWNER
LAKE MARY CAMP; WILL
DEVELOP FINE RESORT

L. c. Lashmet, the well-known con-
tractor, has bought the building
at Lake Mary from Al Sims and is
starting improvements on a large
scale which apparently will make
this local resort one of the most con-
venient and best-developed in the
state
Mr.. Lashmet has the paint brushes
going merrily now to brighten things
up at the camp, and plans the erection
just as soon as possible of additional
cottages and big assembly hall. He
expects also to enlarge the store
Everything will be done to popularize
the place with summer .vacationists
and transient visitors and to add to
their comfort and amusement. The
land is part of the forest holdings and
the lease Mr. Sims had from the local
forest office has been taken over by
Mr.. Lashmet.
Lake Mary has big possibilities as a
summer resort. The beauty of the To-
cation, its accessibility and the de-
lightful climate entities it with mod
ern development to be one of the most
popular and best patronized resorts
in the southwest and if the promiser
development is made it will be big
asset to Flagstaff.

SILVER ANNIVERSARY DAY
OF PARENTS BRINGS JOY TO
PRETTY FLAGSTAFF BRIDE.

One of the prettiest weddings Flag
staff ever had was that solemnized
last Saturday at high noon when Miss
Catherine McMullen, daughter of
President and Mrs. McMullen of the
Normal school, became the bride of
Murray Johnson, young cattle king OF
Johnson, Coconino county, this state.
The Episcopal church of the Epip-
hany was filled with relatives of the
bride and groom and invited guests.
Brightly cleaning candles and ever
green decorations added to the natural
attractiveness Of the handsome church
room.
Miss Mildred Whetsel played or
gan solos and G. v. Ridgely a violin
solo, Miss Whetsel accompanying, and
then, as the bridal party entered, the
Wedding March from Lohengrin.
The bridegroom entered from the
church study. The bride, on her
fathers arm, followed by her sister,
Miss Lucretia McMullen, who attended
her at the alter, and the bridesmaids,
the Misses Catherine Hillebrandt and
Catherine Beckwith, proceeded up the
center aisle to the alter. The ring
bearer was little Alice Morgan,
daughter of Mrs. George P. Morgan
Of Los Angeles, the bridegroom S
sister. The uShers were George Han
ley and Chester Black, Jr.
The official family of President and
Mrs. McMullen, the Normal faculty,
were seated Immediately behind the
families of the bride and groom.
The regular Episcopal ring cere-
mony was used, the organ accompany
ing the beautifully effective reading
Of the services by Rev. George Vernon
Harris.
The brides gown was of heavy silk
crepe, satin lined and trimmed with
pearl ornaments and lace medallions.
Her white hat was trimmed with long
loop lace, Stimulating a veil. The
bridesmaids wore old-fashioned silk
frocks and hats, lace mittens, and
carried formal boquets. The gowns
were all designed and executed by
Mrs. Catherine Beckwith.
Mindful of the old, old advice that,
"A bride should carry something old
and something new, something bor-
rowed and something blue, and wear a
penny in her shoe," this dainty bride
carried the point lace wedding hand
kerchief of her grandmother, Mrs.
Mary C. McMullen, who came from
Indianapolis to attend the wedding.
Immediately following the ceremony
was the wedding reception at the pres
ident's cottage on the Normal campus.
Here the happy young couple were
congratulated by nearly hundred

BOY SCOUTS INVITE YOU
FOR VISIT ON SUNDAY

You are cordially invited to visit
the boy scouts on Sunday afternoon
at Lake Mary. Their camp is on the
west side of the lake, easily accessible
by auto, and you will enjoy your
visit. There were lot of visitors
last Sunday from Williams and Wins
low.
Nearly fifty boys in camp, and they
are having busy, happy time.
The district court of honor will meet
at the camp Sunday afternoon at four
and confer promotion badges on many
of the scouts. There are several
candidates for life badge-next to the
highest rank; also for star and first
and second class ranks. A few weeks
ago most of our local scouts were
tenderfeet. Not so any more; they've
been working hard and scouts of
tenderfoot rank are becoming more
and more rarity except as boys are
newly recruited.

NEW CONVEYOR SYSTEM
F. |. COMPANY SAWMILL.

Flagstaff Lumber Co. on Monday
started up the new conveyor system
they had been installing. This car
ries the boards from the saws, over
endless chains. AS they pass the mark
er he pencils the grade on each board
and they keep on down into the long
shed which has a platform on either
side on which stand scores of IRON
wheeled wagons. The boards are show
ed on to the wagons, according to
grade. AS the wagons fill, Ford
trucks pull up on either platform,
couple onto the lumber wagons au-
tomatically and pull them out to the
stackers.
A series of connected platforms,
built level above the ground, in some
cases a dozen feet or more above it,
form the roadway for the Fords and
their trailing loads. The capacity Of
the yard has been doubled and
the conveyor system has cut handling
expense from the mill to the carts in
half.
The writer rode one of the trucks
out over the elevated roadways on
Wednesday, load of lumber trailing.
If F. K. Pipes, general outside super
intendent, hadn't been riding, also, and
his nephew, Mr.. Johnson, driving, per-
haps the visiting passenger would
have jumped off. 1t was sort of
tremulous the way Johnson steered
that Ford along high edges, around
sharp corners, and so on, without look
ing back to see whether the wagon
following was going to follow or go
over the edge. But the arrangement
of the wheels is such that no matter
how sharp the turn, the wheels track,
so there is no corner too sharp.

Sunday, June 20, and lasts three days.
Monday and the following three

LOCAL FOREST MEN GET
SALARY INCREASE

Local national forest employees feel
good over the salary increases that be
come effective July /. The president
has authorized the heads of depart
ments to increase the salaries of the
field forces to bring them on a par
with the reclassification figures of the
Washington force. This increases the
salary of practically everyone in the
forest service.
The increases are in no instance
large, But they are substantial
enough to be gratefully received.
Heretofore the salaries were fixed ar
bitrarily in Washington. Now each
forest, it is understood, IS allotted its
salary appropriation in lump sum
and latitude given to show preference
in the allotment of salaries accord
ing to the length of time man has
been in the service and his increase
in ability.

FRANK GOODMAN ON JOB

Frank Goodman, appointed city en-
gineer by the new city council, got in
from the White mountain country on
Sunday and Monday morning took
over his new job. With the water
development program fast coming on
he expects to have his hands full.
He says trout fishing in the streams
and lakes in the White mountain sec
tion is very good. He endorses the
effort being made in the south to keep
Arizonans in Arizona during their
vacations by getting them sold on the
northern scenic loop, which includes
Flagstaff, Grand Canyon, Oak Creek
and the White mountains; likewise de-
plores the tendency in some of our
neighboring towns to belittle the
White mountain country and give the
misinformation that fishing there is
poor.

Valley. At both meetings Mrs. Acker

flying the school grounds, Miss
Bouton on health and Mr.. Chisholm
on the home garden. Both meetings
were largely attended and showed the
amount of good being done by the
different agents whose jobs it is to
get the farmers into community
groops and cooperate with them on
their problems.

INITIATIVE MEASURE TO
REPEAL STATE GAME LAW

The Arizona game protection asso-
citation, with the assistance of the
state game department, is back of an
initiative measure for the repeal of
the present game law in order to en-
able the legislature to enact new legis-
lation to correct the many defects
found in our present game laws.
The association has been working
on a new game code for the past six
months. This measure is to be in
troduced in the legislature providing
the voters of this state will approve of
the initiative measure now circulated
for the required signatures.
All local people interested in good
game laws and enforcement should
sign up this initiative measure and
tell their friends to do so. Then this
fall, vote yes on this measure so that
Arizona can move out of the position
of last place up among the leaders
who have checked the process of ex-
termination of game.

BABBITT BASEBALL NINE
FLAYED FLAGSTAFF GREYS

The Babbitt base ball team played
its first game of the season on Sunday
at the City park and won from the
Flagstaff Greys. The game was a
fast one up till the seventh inning,
when both teams from lack of practice
stopped their tight playing and went
in for batting, practice. The score up
to the seventh was 4-2, Babbitt
ahead. At the end of the ninth 1916
was the total. Both teams showed
up well for the week of practice that
they have had. The Rabbits are now
working hard and with the few
changes that will be made in the line

pected of them.

SCHOOLS AND PUPILS WIN
HONORS AND PRIZES FROM
ELKS WITH FLAG ESSAYS

Flag Day was more elaborately OBJ
served in Flagstaff last Saturday
than ever before, and the Elks, in
charge of the affair, deserve lot of
credit for the public spirit shown and
the success their efforts met.
The exercises were held at 7:30 in
the evening, on the courthouse lawn,
special platform for the speakers
having been erected at the steps.
Henry Albers, chief exalted ruler
of the Elks, presided, prefacing the
rest of the program with an impress
sive talk ON the purpose of the cele
bration and our flag.
Henderson Stockton, the well-known
Phoenix attorney, delivered the prin-
cipal address. 1t was an eloquent,
carefully -thought-out effort. He
called for more strict observance of
the laws, expressed his belief that the
country generally is showing more
and more respect for the constitution
and laws, and complimented Flagstaff
on the splendid way it observed Flag
Day.

ATTENDANCE RECORDS
BUSTED At NORMAL AND
TRAINING SCHOOLS HERE

Registration for Normal summer
school this term is as large as in any
previous year and indications are that
it viii break all previous records. Five
hundred were registered on Monday
and with half hundred others taking
advanced studies in the state universi-
ty summer. school, running with the
Normal summer term, the total num-
Der Of students is climbing upward to-
ward the 700 mark.
Every dormitory and cottage is full
and on Monday and Tuesday scouting
was done all over Flagstaff to get
every available room for the overflow.
A larger proportion than ever OF
the students are teachers, here to
take special and advanced work. Al
most every. teacher in the Indian SER
vice of the southwest is here.
Registering 500 students in one day
at normal broke all records for this
school, perhaps for any other. Usu
ally several days are devoted to this
work, in which there is tremendous
amount of detail, including assign
ment of classes and quarters, making
out Of dining room cards, and numer-
out other matters that have to be
Strengthened out to get the student
familiar with what he has to do, what
is to be done for him, etc.
Not only at Normal, but the train
ing school registration is away high
er than ever before. Two hundred.
and fifty children have registered.
That is more, it was thought Tuesday
night than it would be possible to take
care of and it was feared some of
them would have to be turned away.
While the decision of President
Marvin of the state university to keep
the junior students down there for
summer school and try the experiment
of working them all through the sum-
mer in the sweltering heat doesn't
look good to many educators through
out the state, still it may not have
been a bad thing for the work here,
for few hundred more students than
we now have here would have made
the housing problem tremendous.
Flagstaff has all she can take care of,
anyway. Our summer school is prob
ably beating the university's out by
a wide margin in point of attendance,
certainly as regards comfort, advance
ment and popularity.
In addition to Dean j. 0. Creager
of the state university department Of
education, who is here as head of the
other state university faculty mem
bers who are in charge of the local
university summer classes, DR.. L. B.
McMullen, president of the Normal
school has the following special facul-
ty helpers in addition to the regular
Normal staff:
DR.. L. A. Adams, professor Of biol
ogy of the University of Illinois;
George Judson, of the Osborn school,
Phoenix, in charge of athletics; Lacey
A. Eastburne of Phoenix, science;
Grady Gammage, superintendent Of
the Winslow schools, history; H. d.

training schools; Samuel FELTON,, Eng
lish teacher of Tempe Normal; John
@. Thomas, superintendent FlagstaI-
schools, education; Miss Dorothy
Gregg, for many years primary super
intendent in Bisbee, critic teacher;
Mrs. Ida Douglass, University of
Arizona, Spanish and piano.
