for a month, incidentally selling a
lot of Navajo rugs and other Indian
trinkets to the pale faces of the movie
town, chewing gum with William
Wrigley, discussing radio water with
others and packing back for drinking
purposes at his Sunshine trading post
a lot of radium ore which, some OF
his friends claim, put in a crock with
water, will impart its qualities, what
ever they are, to the water and sub
sequent wettings of that same for the
next 100 years. .Nevvy" is worrying
more over his loss if he dies in 1900
years and misses out on the last 200,

ly and has left his vest tail flapping-
He stayed in town day or two then

They Ought to Hear Us

Mr.. and Mrs. Rudolf Hohenhaus
and children returned the last of last
week from Los Angeles, where they
had been visiting relatives for a
month. They drove both ways and
found the Arizona roads fine, but
some of the California end not so
fine. Rudolf saw the picture, "Call Of
of the Canyon" filmed here last fall
from Zane Grey's novel. Flagstaff
people had been talking a good deal
about the advertising we would get
from this movie, and Rudolf says we
are getting it all right, for when the
picture of our depot was splashed on
the screen there was ripple OF
amusement all over the house and
many audible uncomplimentary COM
ments.

ing trouble enough now, though so
far, he claims, he hasn't monkeyed

SEE WHAT A TELLER GETS
FOR GOING TO PHOENIX


Col. Fred Breen, of the Coconino
Sun and Flagstaff, was in Phoenix
last Monday which caused political
tongues to become active over the
probability of his candidacy for gov
ernor. Last summer Editor Bill
Stuart, of the Prescott Courier an
nounced that the Flagstaff editor
would enter the gubernatorial contest
with "Breen and Beans" as his plat
form. Afterwards Col. Breen repudi-
ated this announcement and declared
that he was willing to allow Tom
Maddox, Celora Stoddard, or some
other republican to NOV any official
honors from the political pastures in
Arizona, but for himself he was
willing to continue to make the Sun
shine in Flagstaff. While in the
capital city Col. Breen called on Gov
ernor Hunt, but it is known that
neither the governor nor the colonel
disclosed their "hole" card in the
coming campaign and that their dis
agreement in the "pact" was as wide
as from east to west or from Tamm-
any hall to Jerusalum. Breen Was
chosen as the successor of Hon. Hugh
Campbell in the state senate at a
special election held last summer, but
in the absence of special Legislative
session he will have no service to per-
form prior to the November election
when it may be reasonably expected
that he will again be the republican
candidate for the senate.
Douglas international
We hate awfully to accuse either
Major Kelly, editor of the Inter
national and state historian and
Editor Bill Stuart of the Courier of
playing both sides of the game, but in
event of being elected governor, Major
Kelly realizes from years of friend
ship for him, though opposed polite
ally, he would stand good chance to
be re-appointed state historian. AS
to Bill Stuart, Bill knows that we
would insist on giving him a good
place on the taxidermist commission
or at the state asylum for the insane
Again we very much dislike to turn
this information loose for fear of los
ing a great deal "bean" strength ir
the state.
AS to showing ''hole" cards, as
Major Kelly suggests, it did seem thai
way as to the ratification of the pact
but it did appear also that we were
just as certain of not asking for the
nomination for senator or governor as
Governor Hunt was of asking for the
nomination for governor.
Just as an afterthought as to the
actual welfare of the state, not as
personal sentiment, but of drafting {
man who could not be wheedled
bought or stolen, sometimes probabl!
wrong but intending to be right, VIZ
might mention to Arizona's advant
age, general advantage, fellow by
name of Dwight B. Heard of Phoeni1
for governor. He's big enough tt
help the state take spending recess
Is the state?
