WELSH SINGERS
NORMAL NEXT TUESDAY

Another musical treat for Flagstaff
next Monday, January Z, the date for
the appearance at the Normal school
AUDITORIUM of the Cavan Welsh sing
ers.
Mixed quartette singing is popular
with most everyone. And these are

Welsh songs will be: March of the
Men of Harlech," 20, That Summer
Smiled for Aye" and "All Through
the Night"

grand opera, from Gilbert & Sulh-
vans and other light operas.

HARRY WADE IMPROVING

SHOT HIM, ALSO MENDING

Harry Wade, who was twice shot on
Christmas night in Williams at the
pool-hall of his brother, Charlie Wade,
by Dink Smith of Williams, is get
ting along nicely under the treatment
of DR.. G. d. Jeffries of Williams.
Smith, who was badly beaten up by
witnesses to the shooting, and who is
in jail in Flagstaff, is fast getting
the better Of the sundry cuts and
bruises inflicted. Much sympathy is
expressed toward both men, each OF
whom have families.
Smith deeply regrets the affair.
While admitting that he went home,
following an argument with Charlie
Wade, during which Charlie knocked
him down, and got his gun and re-
turned to the pool hall with intent to
"get" Charlie, he says he would as
soon have shot his own brother as
Harry. But the latter intervened to
prevent Smith from carrying out his
intention, and was shot. Smith, of
course, was intoxicated at the time.

staff for more than 80 years, died
last Friday night shortly before eight
o'clock at the home of one of his
daughters, Mrs. M. E. Tackitt of this
city, and was buried on Monday from
the Flagstaff Undertaking parlors
the funeral being at 10 in the fore
noon and Rev. J. w. Saunders con-
Quoting the ceremony.
Death came as welcomed end tc
several months of intense suffering
Mr.. Moh1enpah had been in perfect
health up to less than two years ago
having had hardly days sickness in
his life; then he became i'll with a
complication Of diseases, among them
hardening of the arteries and kidney
trouble. Though he was able to be
around most of the time until short
time before his death, his suffering
during much of the time was in
tense and toward the last he frequent
ly expressed the desire to be allowed
not to take medicine in the hope that
death might be hastened.
Adam George Mohlenpah was born
March 27, 1854, in Germany. He
came to this country while yet boy.
For several years he lived in Newark,

ENGINEER, FARM AGENT
AND JUSTICE ALL TO BE
MOVED TO NEW GARAGE

The county board of supervisors at
their yearly wind-up meeting at the
courthouse on Monday decided that on
February / the offices of County En-
gineer j. B. Wright, County Farm
Agent Frank Chisholm and Justice of
the Peace r. ]. Kidd will be moved
from the Masonic Temple building,
where they have been for several
years, to the new county garage build
ing in the east end of town. The Sun
announced last week that the county
engineers office was to be moved
there.
The upper floor will be used for
these offices and for the jury room.
Partitions will be put in this month.
1t is said that the rent now paid
for the three offices is $3.50 a month.
The new location for the engineer S
office will probably be as convenient
for Captain Wright as his present To-
cation. But the garage building will
not be as convenient for either the
county farm agent or the justice Of
the peace, nor for people calling at
those two offices.

WHERE WATER SUPPLY
AT CANYON is FROM

water, water, everywhere, nor any
drop to drink" This famous ex-
preston of Coleridge's describes the
aqua pura situation at Grand Canyon,
where an abundance of clear water
may be seen gurgling down the Colo
rado river in the depths of the can
yon, but beyond reach of visitors and
residents of the village itself.
All the water used at the canyon
is brought in by the Santa Fe, and
is obtained from Jack Smith and Flag
staff springs, which are situated about
19 miles north of Flagstaff, Arizona.
This cold spring water has its origin
in the SHOWS at the top of the San
Francisco peaks, and is absolutely
free from contamination. 1t is car
ried from the springs to fifty-mli-
lion gallon reservoir located about
seven miles north of Flagstaff, whence
it is conveyed by pipe lines to the
station. Steel tank cars Of 10000
gallon capacity each are used in trans
porting the water from Flagstaff to
the canyon, the ordinary needs re-
curing ten carloads of water daily.
This means that the Santa Fe hauls
approximately 1OVyOOV SoeNlAoAA7 ~ - 49,
spring water from Flagstaff to Grand
Canyon, distance Of 80 miles, each
day.
Numerous Investigations and sur
veys have been conducted with view
to utilizing the clear water so abund-
antly available at the bottom of the
canyon, but so far no feasible meth
cd of doing this has been found.-San-
ia Fe Magazine.
The author of the above is a little
off in his figures, also as to the quail
ity of the water the Colorado river
would furnish. If the guests at the
Ell T'ovar were supplied with the
Colorado river water it wouldn't be
but a few days before they could be
profitably located as a sand pit. The
water is about quarter silt.
The Santa Fe fully realizes the
value of the pure spring water from
the melting SHOWS at the city springs,
but for some unknown reason refuses
to agree with Flagstaff as to develop
ing an ample supply.
The Coconino sun., 1924-01-04

: 1t is understood that the battery at
Mesa will be made an infantry COM
pany also, unless that organization is
disbanded altogether.
1t is also reported on good author
ity that Captain Harry B. Embach,
commanding Battery ID, is to be made
major in command Of battalion,
perhaps the one at Phoenix. The reg
iment will be in command of a col
onel. First Lieutenant Hill Lewis,
temporarily in command Of Battery
D in the absence of Captain En-
mach, will be advanced to rank of
captain, in command Of the local how
itzer company. First Lieutenant
Adolph Boenitsch will be made lieu
tenant of infantry. One first and one
second lieutenant will be required and
the appointments will be made from
the present non-commissioner officers
of the battery.
Battery D equipment and books and
everything else about it, except only
the attendance of the men at drill, won
enthusiastic comment from Col. H. A.
Hanigan during his visit here the
other day. He praised the work Cap
tain Embach had done, and the work
done since by Lieutenant Lewis, even
writing a special letter of commenda-
tion to the latter.
The Coconino sun., 1924-01-04

This will be sorry news to Flagstaff
people, who have taken great pride in
Battery d, reputed to be one of the
very best, if not, indeed the best nat
ional guard battery among all the
crack batteries in the United States.
The primary trouble causing the re-
movai Of the battery seems to have
been the lack Of required attendance
at drill. But, even if that require
ment had been met at all times, the
battery might have been taken away,
anyhow, as the state adjutant gen
eral and war department officials
have for long time wanted to or
ganize all the units in Arizona into
one full infantry regiment. And that
is what will be done.
Battery d will thus become a how
itzer company, with a comp }ement of
81 men. A strong effort will be made
to keep the battery horses here. How
itzer companies are usually furnished
mules, but it is hoped in this case an
exception may be made.
There will be ten companies in the
state regiment which will include a
headquarters company, perhaps at
Phoenix. Phoenix now has three COM
panies-a full battaGon-and there
are companies at Yuma, Tucson,
Douglas and one or two other points.

NOTED ENGINEERS HERE
THIS WEEK STUDYING THE.
WATER STORAGE PROBLEM

Mr.. Mcdonnell of Burns & McDon-
nell, Kansas City and Los Angeles en-
gineers who are being consulted CON
cerning the best means of increasing
the Flagstaff water storage system,
and Mr.. Davenport, assistant engineer
Of the Santa Fe railway company, ar
rived in Flagstaff on Monday and
that afternoon and the next morning
held conferences with the city coun-
cilmen.
Mr.. Mcdonnell end City Water Su-
perintendent John Marshall visited
Schulz canyon, which council and
Mr.. Marshall and City Engineer j. b.
Wright feel can be damned for water
storage and solve the problem much
more economically than by building
the reservoir proposed by Burns q
Mcdonnell. Mr.. Mcdonnell agreed
that the plan appeared feasible, but
said that he could not finally pass up
on it until the test holes dug by Mr..
Marshall had been extended downward
into the clay 20 feet. He said the
weight of the impounded water requlr-
ed 20 feet of hard-pan, otherwise the
bottom could not safely be counted
on to hold.
Borings from the test holes Mr..
Marshall dug during the fall had been
sent to Mr.. Reynolds, formerly with
Burns & Mcdonnell, but now head Of
the engineering department of Stan
ford university, for analysis. Mr.. Rey-
nolds' findings had been reported to
the San Francisco office Of Burns &
Mcdonnell and would not be known
10 Mr.. Mcdonnell until he arrived
there this week.
Mr.. Davenport seemed a little
doubtful abol the feasibility Of using
Schulz canyon as reservoir; that IS,
doubtful that the bottom would be
found impervious to sufficient depth
to hold big head of water. The
Santa Fe has had expensive expert
ence with dams and it's engineers MAJ
urally have to be shown before they
draw on their enthusiasm.

ROTARIANS DINED WIVES
AND FRIENDS In SECOND.
ANN UAL JOLLIFICATION

Flagstaff RotarianS were hosts on
Friday night at Normal dining room
to more than hundred guests, in
cluding their wives, and the affair
was pronounced by all who attended
as being one of the most enjoyable
and interesting ever given in Flag
staff. 1t was Rotary's second annual
year-end jollification.
There were 156 diners standing in
their places at the tables when Ro-
tartan Rev. Fr. G.. Vabre said grace.
The guests of each Rotarian were
seated with him. There were 21 ta-
bles, arranged in square around the
sides of the room, leaving the CEN
ter free for dancing.
All around the room against the
walls were ranged pine trees, connect
ed with a silvered-tinsel rope. High
on the walls were many evergreen
wreathes. In the center of the room
big Christmas tree stood, generous
ly illuminated with small and large
electric lights of various colors.
The ceiling lights were draped with
Rotary's colors, purple and gold, and
on each table there were burning
candles in glass candlestocks. There
were many flowers, paper caps for
each diner, each with Rotary emblem,
and each found his place by means of
dainty place card.
Animation and good fellowship be-
gan at once and lasted until after
midnight, when the last guest re-
luctantly left.
Between courses came numbers in
the program, and dancing, Mrs. Wa
ters' orchestra furnishing the music
for the latter.
President Fred s. Breen called
to order as soon as all were seated,
welcoming the guests, having the Wis
iting Rorarians and Rotaryanns in
troduce themselves and the roll called.
He then handed the gavel to |. B.
Koch, chairman of the entertainment
committee, who presided during the
rest Of the evening.

Gabaldon didn't seek seclusion for
shuffling off his mortal coil. In the
room with him, besides his wife, were
a man named Labato, who works at
the Campbell, Francis & Co. sheep
ranch at Needmore, and Labato's
wife. The Gabaldon home is the first
house east of the colored church on
East Railroad avenue.
1t was about half past seven Sat-
urday night when Frank pressed the
trigger. Babato ran up town for help.
He found Gavino Tafoya, who phoned
the sheriff's office Deputies Sher-
les Roy Scanlon and John Garret were
soon at the place. Then they called
Sheriff Campbell and DR.. Felix Man
ming, county health officer.
Gabaldon had headache. Partly
it was caused by the impact of the
bullet, which lodged firmly in the
skull above the right ear and a lit
tie back of the center. Partly it was
wondelment that he didn't aim
straighter. He said he couldn't see
how in thunder it happened that the
bullet hit there when he was aiming
at his right temple.
The wound was dressed by Dr.
