CHARLES T. VOOLFOLK IS
SUPERVISOR CANDIDATE

Charlie Voolfolk is in the race for
county supervisor, district No. i, and
his announcement is in this weeks
Sun.
It is almost useless to try to intro
duce this man to the public of this
county They all know him, respect
him, like him, trust him.
He was supervisor for six years,
and a mighty good one. He was for
the best interests of the county and
the taxpayers all of the time. He
never used his office to play politics.
Mr.. Voolfolk is the father of the
Maine-Grand Canyon highway. He
might properly be said to be a
father of all the good roads we have
in the county, for when he took of
flee we had none, He had d lot to-
do with the building of the Flagstaff
Williams highway and financing the
building too-long delayed of the
Flagstaff -Winslow road.
He believes that road money should
be. spent according to population and
taxable valuation, and not bullSed into
places that haven't much Of either
And he is solidly for the sale Of the
Bright Angel trail to the U. s. gov
ernment and the application of the
money derived from the sale to a road
from the National Old Trails to the
Canyon. He realizes that the taking
ever Of that highway by, the g0verrl
nent win relieve the county of an am
nual naintainence expense much
greater than any possible revenue
from the trail And It will relieve us
Of the. DANCED of always hanging
over US of an expensive damage suit
due to some accident on the trail.
Mr.. WoolfpIk is + democrat. ! He
stands on his record Of past service
to this county and to his friends and
neighbars for. the results in the prir
mary.

WEEKS BEST GOOD TURN
BY BOY SCOUTS

/ A group of frightened boys unable
i to help their injured comrade, and a
/ party of scouts that arrived in time
to administer first aid and get help
were principals in a recent emergency
near Boston. ~
James Weist, with his brothers, Ed
| and Jack, and two other companions
| had gone for a day In the woods. The
lily pad pond in upper Sheep Gulch
was their destination. One Of the
boys, unknown to his companions, had
secfeted a. gun. While James was en-
gagged ii building Al fire there was a
loud report as the gun was acciaesltly
discharged. The bullet apparently
struck rock, against which it rico
chBted; a fragment struck one Of the
boys, causing a slight flesh wound;
but most Of the slug lodged in James
leg. The wound bled profnsely and
caused great pain The boys fright
ened companions did not know what
to do.
At THIS moment three hiking scouts
appeared Francis Adams. H0yt Lar
ison and Tom Barnard. Scout Adams
took charge of the situation and sent
LARSON and Barnard to the nearest
town for help. Then, with the help or
one Of the boys he fashioned ateuaqli-
quet Of his neckerchief and stopped
the flocw of blood. Cutting two sap
lings,g he inlprovised with these and
some coats, d stretcher, on which the
injured. boy was placed. The party
then started for town. They had only
gone mile when they met the boys
father, who was speeding to the scene
in an automobile. The scouts, although
but II years of age, were prepared
for the emergency.

HISS FOR SHAME! NOBODY

The writer of the following must
have run into some unusually anlucky
guy. This is the first complaint of
this kind The Sun ever heard made
against Flagstaff. Local people have
no such trouble. Perhaps the mar
who picked up five tacks with one tire
happened along just after some one
tacking up plaeards spilled asfew. He
must have got. them all. We can't
believe they were thrown. out with
malice prepense. pretty good that,
Denver, Colo, July s, 1924.
The Coconino Sun,
Flagstaff, Arizona.
Gentlemen: Allow me to take this
means of informing you that there is
much complaint coming from tourists
who have just passed through your
beautiful city in regard to punetures
resulting in nine cases out of ten
from tacks.
One man says he picked up five
.tacks in one tire in Flagstaff. 1t is
the general supposition that someone
there is putting tacks in the road pur-
:posely
Now, these tourists from the west
are meeting tourists. In the camp
grounds here who are going west, and
these people who have had the "tacks
experience are naturally passing the
word along. Hence, much of the~travef
is beingdirecte through the southern
part Of the state, lin spite of the heat,
or else nerth 'throug Utah and Nesa4
da ts
Knowing your paper to be one
which believes in promoting the very
best welfare for your community, and
justice to all, we hope--for the, sake
of future tourist trade-yau will put
the "spot'' light on this subject $50
the people may know just what is
taking place in your midst, and pre-
vent it from occurring again.
In, doing this trust me to be-. a
friend Of your paper and city.

DUFRESNE RETURNS FROM
 DlOMEDE ISLA N D s
(From Nome Nugget).

Frank Dufresne, fur warden for this section, returned from his recent trip to the Diomede Islands and Tel Ter on the gas schooner, Hazel of the United States Biological Survey the fore part of the week. Mir. Du- fresne reports among the most inter- esting features of the trip, the dis cOvery of l.. J. Palmer of the Biolo- gical Survey who is in charge of the Hazel, of wild potato found on the DiOmede Islands, which, it is believ- ed, will develop into something worth cultivating. This specimen, which is a real tuber, and used for food eX- tensively by the natives of the Dio- medes as a food, has been, or will shortly be, submitted to the Depart ment of Agriculture, which Depart ment, beyond a doubt, will put experts to work on it. Mr. Dufresne and MT. Phillips, who accompanied him, got some fine pictures of the Diomede Isl ands and the bird life thereon, both movies and stills. The party thoroly explored both Islands, perhaps more thoroughly than ever before. They picked up the Missionary ship New York with the Reverend MT. Hojer in charge. The New York was totally disabled, having lost both anchors and dories, and the Hazel lowed the New York to Teller. Mir.

ALASKAN KILLS BEAR
 WITH KNIFE AND DOGS
(Kusko Times)

Arthur Berry, like many another fellow, is one of those who is always seeing something when he hasn't his gun with him. And, speaking of bears, here's a thriller, as related by Mrs. Berry, writing from Medira, in a letter to Robert Shively:
 Arthur was out on the road yes terday with Rex and Jimmie and saw bear standing in the trail, about two miles from here but, of course, didn't have any gun along" writes Mrs. Berry. 'Rex and Jimmy gave it a great chase. He went out there again today and before he left, said, there won't be any use to take a gun along today, as the dogs chased every thing away yesterday"
 "Jack, John and Rex, the dogs, went with him and they caught a black bear at almost the same place. She would weight about 200 pounds, and, of course, he didn't have any gun, and it was too far to come back and get the gun. He didn't want to dis appoint the dogs. He had his big Marble knife with him, and so cut a dry spruce pole and tied his knife to it, and while the dogs were fighting the bear he would jab it with his knife. Arthur said things were pretty lively for about ten minutes. He made ten good cuts on Mrs. Bear, most of them behind her shoulders and once in the throat. Rex was game, would bite the bear and then jump back. Arthur was gone from the house only two hours when he came back with the bear hide in a sack on his back.

left out tent early in the morning to get the benefit of the morning moon. Scarborough left about twenty min- utes before the sled About three hours after we left camp wind came up which turned into q binding bliz- gard which made travelling with the sled slow although the wind was near ly at our backs. We could not see where we were going travelling only by following the ice Evidently Scar borough never stopped. He tried to make Flaxman Island camp for we never saw him again.
 We were four days getting to the mouth of the river with the sled. We then went down to the East Fork which is better going on account of the ice to travel on. At the mouth of the river we met Keesik, Native boy, so we left our sled and went over to his place that night Keesik had been down the coast that day, which was the first good day we had since the storm started. He told us of seeing tracks which were those of a white man who seemed to have frozen feet because he was taking very short steps.
 Scarborough had missed Keesik's cabin on Konganevik Point, although he found the other cabin about nine miles below there, where he had gone inside and tried to start a fire with some yarn which he had torn from his mitten strings, but he failed to get the fire started, probably because his hands were too cold or his match es wet. From the cabin his tracks were followed right straight out on the ice to an open lead where no traces of him could be found. Mr. Lar son concludes his letter by stating that had MT. Scarborough followed the beach he would have found a cabin in either direction in ten miles.
