FAMOUS NATURAL BRIDGE
ATTRACTS MANY VISITORS

Mr.. and Mrs. j. p Wilson, Miss
Josephine and Master Marshall Will
son and Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Browning
ran down to visit David Goodfellow at
the famous Natural Bridge near Pay
son Sunday, returning Monday. Joe
says there is a great deal of travel on
this road from outside states and
much interstate travel. The roads
are mainly good with some few rough
spots, but they made the trip from
$50 a. m. to p. m. with many stops
on the road. Mr.. Goodfellow, the
owner OF this popular resort, has been
flooded with visitors this year. The
Natural Bridge is attracting tourists
far and wide and especially tourists
from the southern part of the state
who stop over on their way up
to Mormon Lake. Below Mormon
Lake there is. a strip of road about
thirty miles in length that tourists
complain of considerably.

WOO CHUNG LOST SIX
FULL BOTTLES AND $3.50
BUT DID NOT WORRY HIM

Woo Chung, the Chinese restau-
rant man whom everybody here knows
and likes, was arrested yesterday
morning by Deputies Sheriff w. M.
Rudd and r. l.. Neil and Judge j. E.
Jones in superior court fined him
$3.50 on a booze charge.
Questioned in court, Woo freely
admitted having the liquid shipped
him from San Francisco. 1t comes in
queer-shaped bottles of less than a
quart capacity and is imported from
China. It's name Ngkapy and it
is said TO have an awful wallop all
out of proportion to the so per cent
alcoholic conent its label brags of.
Woo received six bottles yesterday
morning. He said he took it as a
tonic. There was no suspicion that
he sold it. He paid his fine and
passed out some good cigars and
never lost composure, cheerfulness or
hold on his genial philosophy of life.

THESE ARE CANDIDATES
In TUESDAYS PRIMARY

When the vote is all in at the pri
maries next Tuesday, the race Will be
over for some of the aspirants to
political offices, while with others,
those who win nominations, it will be
just we'll begun. There has been
very little excitement so far; that is
coming after the primaries when the
candidates of the two parties put all
their efforts against each other in
the attempt to come out first in the
November election county.
Coconino county doesn't have as
many aspirants for office as most of
the counties in Arizona. Many of
those in the primary race are in be-
cause their friends have urged them,
rather than from any overpoWerlng
ambition Of their own.
Here are the county and precinct
candidates:
For state senator, Republican, Wal
ter Runke of Flagstaff. Democratic,
G. w. Copeland of Doney Park, can
didate for reelection.
State representative, republican,
none. Democratic, Major Harry B.
Embach of Flagstaff.
Sheriff, republican, w. A. Campbell
of Flagstaff, the present incumbent;
F. III. Patton of Flagstaff, who was
defeated for the nomination two
years ago by Campbell; S. O. Thomp-

LONE FORD BANDIT HELD
UP TWO SATURDAY NIGHT

Two hold-ups of automobilists oc-
cured on the Old Trails highway in
this county on Sunday night, both
operated by a lone man in Ford
car, travelling east. Particulars are
in some instances vague and the
officers had little to go on, having no
clear description of the bandit and
not knowing the number of his car.
The first was this side of Belle
mont short distance. A tourist,
name unknown, was fixing a tire
about 1000 o'clock, when Ford
drove past him coming east, and
stopped. A man came back and
struck the tourist up with a six-gun,
extracting $55 in new $5 bills and
two one-dollar bills. He returned to
his car and the tourist followed in
the hope of getting his license num-
Der, but desisted when the hold-up
man fired three times at him.
At 1880 the same night, a short
way east of Winona, a man who is
said to be named Woods, of Winslow,
was held up by man driving Ford.
Just what booty was obtained in this
instance in not known.
Deputy Sheriff Rudd went to the
scene of the first hold-up that night
and the next morning as soon as the
latter was reported, Deputy John
Garrett went east, but nothing was
found in the way of a clue.

LIEUT.. PEARSON NOTED
FOR FLIGHT IN CANYON
Is KILLED In ACCIDENT

Ell PASO, Sept 3.-Lieutenant
Alexander Person was killed acci-
dentally yesterday at Dayton, Ohio.
He was the winner of the transconti-
lential flight in 1919 and survive
of countless air mishaps.
In 1919 the aviator was lost in Big
Bend county, Texas, being missing for
six days, when searchers found him
floating down the Rio Grande river
on raft.
Lieutenant Pearson come to Flag
staff after his flight through the
Grand Canyon, about three years ago,
the first one ever made. His flight
there was below the rim level and
was considered a most dangerous
one, due to the .treacherous and
changing air currents in. the gorge.
Following his flight at the canyon,
Lieutenant Pearson went to Douglas
where he was married to Douglas
girl, one whom he had met while he
was stationed at that city with the
army.
The Coconino sun., 1924-09-05

Probably it is both.
This is the startling fact prompting
the query:
Registration of voters prelmi-
nary TO next Tuesdays primary
election closed Saturday night
with total registration of 2,943,
or 425 more than for the same
period in 1922.
In 1922, the total registration when
the books closed in October before the
November election was only 2,902, or
less than it is this year for the pri-
maries.
From these figures it follows that
the county is growing, that Marine is
very much on his job, and that the
vote in both the primary cnd general
elections this year should - greater
than ever before.
In Flagstaff 710 republicans end
TIL democrats have registered to vote
next Tuesday. In 1902, the registra-
tion for the primaries was 683 re-
publicans and 736 democrats.
In Williams there are 329 democrats
and 215 republicans registered and in
1922 it was 272 democrats and 242
republicans. Thus the republicans
have gained strength in Flagstaff and
the democrats in Williams.

ELKS LABOR DAY PICNIC
SUCCESS in EVERY WAY

Mike Ohaca, the sheepman, won
the new Chevrolet car and the Elks
trimmed the Moose Monday at the
Elks' big Labor Day celebration at
City Recreation park.
1t was large afternoon and even
ing. Crowds hung around the vari-
Gus booths and got lot of fun and
excitement taking chances on the
numerous games. Hal Longfellow
had charge of the hole-in-the-barrel
and base-ball-throwing contraption
Loren Cress and Jim Roberts ran a
booth and took in money faster than
they could count it. Next door was
the "tango" booth, with w. B. Draine,
Dad Hollar, Will Raudebaugh and
Jack Fuss all hollering until they
were red in the face, while Hill Lewis,
Jack Higgins and John Cow did like
wise at the country grocery store,
where the purchases were made with
paddles and wheels. Tom Pulliam,
Bert Fair, Jim Tillman and Marvin,
Lehman strutted around and looked
real mercantile in the refreshments
room during the afternoon and Ira
Dougherty, Cecil Mccormick, Bert
Fair and Frank LaScala during the
evening.
The Ford novelty race had three
entrants. They raced across for
ward and back, two round trips across
the ball field. One of the cars re-
fused to back properly and soon was
distanced. In the order of finishing
they were: Andy Gavin of Las We
gas, N. NJ, II. E. Miller of Balboa,
Calf, and Harold Arnold of Los An
geles.
When the ball game between the
Elks and Moose began, the real fun
was on. The Moose, smarting under
recent defeat, were out for sweet
revenge, but didn't get it. Comedy
stunts were plentiful, with an occas-
ional flash Of real ball playing.
The Moose got one run in the first,
three in the fourth, one each in the

matched from various funds to make
grand total of $296, ,116.68.
Of that total, 124,507.51 is made
available for the 122-10 miles east
from Canyon Padre to Canyon Dia-
bio.
The remainder, $145, ,89417, is to
be spent on, the Canyon Diablo-W Wins
low portion, the work to begin at
the county line just this side Of Wins

The route of this latter portion
will be changed so that instead of
going around by Coon (Meteor)
mountain, the road will cross to the
north side of the Santa Fe railroad
at Sunshine and follow the railroad
on that side into Winslow. This

soon as possible.

Mr.. Lefebvre agrees with Cover
nor Hunt that part of this stretch is
the worst main highway in the state,
and one of the most necessary to be
made a real highway. 1t is part of
the most popular and most direct
transcontinential highway and the
thousands of tourist cars passing over
it in both directions every year will
he greatly increased when this bad
link is made right.
Here is the way it is being done:
The U. S. bureau of public roads,
with funds appropriated from the
forest service, amounting to $133,000,
is now finishing the % IL mile sec
tion directly east of Flagstaff and
extending to Canyon Padre, the cul
verts and concrete culverts having
been put in last fall with last years

ROTARIANS WERE NOT
ALWAYS PUSSY, PROUD
AND FULL OF PRUNES.

It being the day after Labor day,
Tuesdays program of Flagstaff Ro-
tary club swung to talk of work.
Vice President John @. Thomas
called the meeting to order and in
troduced Mrs. L. G.. Thompson, field
secretary of the Florence Critten-
den mission of Arizona, at Phoenix,
who pleased the members with her
direct and eloquent explanation of
the missions work and its Importance.
He also had the bunch sing, with the
vocal guidance of |. B. Koch, and
turned the gavel over to Del Strong,
chairman for the day.
Henry Albers gave a comprehen-
sive talk on Labor Day, its inception
and adoption as a holiday by many
of the states; then brought out the
fact that no particular class of men
who work have any exclusive right
to be called laborers, as any man to
succeed must labor, whether in the
field or factory, at the forge or desk.
Sergeant-a Arms, Bill Cady, who
had lot of labor collecting fines
and turning them over to Secretary
Frank Chisholm to laboriously count,
sang a verse of 'Love's Old Sweet
Song" the others joining in the cho-
rus, rather melodiously, due to Bills
clarion leadership and the good work
of Miss Elsa Myers at the piano.
Followed a call, in turn, on every
member present, who had been warm
ed several days in advance and came
prepared to tell briefly, truthfully,
and fully what jobs he had worked
at or what positions held since he
first began work.
1t developed that many were born
on farms and that practically every
one Of the members had experience
at hard manual labor before finally
becoming business and professional
men. Certainly very few of them
are now in the same line of work in
which they began, and the varieties
of work some of them had done was
surprising.
Visiting Rotarians: Fred Joyce
and Don Gilchrist Of Phoenix and
Hubert Richardson of Winslow.
Other guests: Mrs. Thomas, Miss
Myers, Harmon Nelson, Arthur
Brown of Los Angeles, a banker here
visiting Dick Griffith, and Roger
Birdseye.
The ladies who got up the good
food and served it were: Mrs. P. II.
Nelson, chairman; Mrs. T. T. Stahl,
Mrs. V. NJ. Slippher and Miss Retta

INDIANS CAN VOTE AND
RETAIN TRIBAL RIGHTS

Despite the fact that the Yuma In
dians and other Arizona tribes are
suspicious of the results of enfran-
chisement by government and have
declared they will not accept citizen
ship nor exercise their right to vote
until they have considered the prop
osition from all angles and have as
certained definitely the effect upon
their tribal rights, the fact is made
clear in an official communication,
from the office of Indian affairs at
Washington, that suffrage viii IN no
way impair the rights of Indians an.
their tribal or other property.
The letter from Indian Commission
er Charles Fl. Burke, explains:
"Relative to Indian citizenship, YOU
are informed of the passage by con-
gress of an act approved June 2, 1924.
"Be it enacted by the senate end
house of Representatives of the Unit
ed States Of America in congress as
sernbled, that all non-eitizen Indians
born within the territorial limits OF
the United States be, and they are
hereby declared to be citizens of the
United States; providing that the
granting of such citizenship shall not
in any manner impair or otherwise
affect the right of any Indian to trl-
bal OF other property.
"You will note that this does not
remove the restrictions upon the prop
erty of Indians now under the juris-
diction of the interior department.
Questions of property control, renlov-
al of restrictions, ETC., will, therefore
be handled on their own merits as
heretofore.
"Also, the United States supreme
court has held that citizenship is not
inconsistent with wardship; this pact
does not of itself terminate the ward
ship of the Indians.
eYou should inform your Indians,
however, that they are now citizens
Of the United States. AS they are
now entitled to suffrage under the
same conditions as other residents on
the state, it is suggested that you
familiarize yourself with the state
election laws SO as to be in a position
to advise your Indians as to the pro-
per procedure and the preliminary ac-
ton necessary to qualify as voters,
etc. in order to vote in certain cleo
tions such as those involving the
creation of bonded Indebtedness, etc.
You should endeavor to advise your
Indians so as to avoid embarrassment
or disappointment"

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS
FOR PRIMARIES THIS YEAR
MUCH GREATER THAN 1922;
DEMOCRAT GAIN ILLUSION
Is Coconno county showing unusual growth, has
County Recorder Howard Marine broken all records for
industry I'm that office?

1894 republicans, 1915 democrats and
35 Of other parties or no party had
registered. Thus the democratic reg
istration in the county to date exceeds
the republicans by 800. At the time
of the general election in November,
1922, there were 1913 democrats, 1904
republicans and 50 of other parties
or no party registered, the democrats
then having a lead by 214.
Registration books open again on
September IT, closing October Is.
The registration then will be we'll
over 5000. If the registration for
the same period is as high as in 1922,
the total 1924 registration will be
around $500.
The explanation of the increase in
democratic registration in Williams
this year seems to be the large num-
her of local democratic candidates

ticip@ted, and from that cause. Will

Flagstaff's State Normal school, 1T

A. Cotton, is with the beginning of

two-year junior college course.
The Normal board recently decided
in its favor, and DR.. Cotton has en-
barked on campaign of publicity to
let the fact become generally known,
especially throughout the northern
part of the state tributary to the
school.
The advantages are several. 1t af-
fords greater educational advantages
at the school to those not intending
to teach. 1t means saving IN money
to those who can't afford to go away
from home. Flagstaff students can
remain at home and those from other
parts of northern Arizona can be at
home week-ends. Students who take

at has been found by experience,
says DIR. Cotton, that pupils who
leave home for college almost invari-
ably leave for all time. Parents
therefore should be interested in this
Junior college course as it will keep
their children home or near home
two years longer
The two years work will include
mathematics, history, languages
science and English and literature
This addition of junior college
work thus gives the Normal school

SOUTH SIDE PRoWLER

Saturday night as Ray Prochnow
drove up with his car to the side OF
his fathers home on the southside
of Flagstaff, he noticed tall, rough
looking man coming across the yard
toward him. Ray jammed in the
gears and the man ran for him, but
Ray got away too fast. Not much
attention was paid to the matter un-
til the next night, when Rays father,
Charles Prochnow, proprietor of the
Commercial hotel, was followed for
a couple of blocks near his home by
a man answering the same descrip-
tion. People over that way are now
toting pocket-companions, loaded, and
in the event of too much friendliness
the fellow is likely to be punctured,
that is, he may be, depending on the
accuracy Of the aim that several are
anxious to take at him.
