FIFTY NEW COTTAGES TO
BE BUILT AT MORMON
LAKE IN EARLY SPRING

Plans are laid for an additional
summer village at Mormon Lake, to
be built and conducted by NJ. d.
Tombler of Casa Grande, who was in
Flagstaff the first of this week max
ing arrangements about lumber and
other details.
Mr.. Tombler has bought the w. c..
Smith ranch, a couple of miles below
Montezuma lodge on the west shore of
Mormon lake. He intends putting up
at least so cottages in the early
spring, as we'll as a community build
ing, in which one of the features will
be dance hall.
Mr.. Tombler was formerly resi-
dent Of Minnesota, The climate at
Casa Grande he finds just little too
warm, and he believed this will be a
great deal more pleasant.
With the rapidly increasing popu-
larity of Mormon lake, the largest
body of water in Arizona, within a
very few wears it most surely will be
one of the biggest summer resorts in
the west. Its natural advantages are
unsurpassed-wo cool summer
climate, the finest water, the great
pine forest surrounding filled with
large and small game, and the super
ior fishing, swimming and boating Of
fered in the big lake itself, make il
ideal for the purpose.

TURKEY SHOOT SUNDAY
AFFORDS MANY DINNERS

Rifles and shotguns were busy near
ly all day Sunday at City Recreation
park, the firing for turkeys offered
by the Flagstaff Gun club.
w. M. Cady Jr., state trap cham
pion, was the best man at the clay
pigeon traps and his faithful trigger
finger brought him five of the
Thanksgiving birds. Bill says he has
to turn to turkeys now for fodder,
since his colored cook, though highly
successful in baking one big porcupine
a few weeks ago, threw up his hands
when Joe Babbitt offered another,
saying, 'Iordy, no, don't ever bring
me no more OBJ dem dere concubines to
cook"
Others who got turkeys at the traps
were: DR.. Hendricks, Ed Raudebaugh
and Del Strong, each one.
With the rifle, shooting at a
nine-inch target at a distance of 800
yards, those hitting the bullseye and
annexing holiday birds were: Wild
Raudebaugh, 2; Tony Fransen, 2; Ed
Raudebaugh, John @. Thomas, w. M.

LOCAL NORMAL ELEVEN
DEFEATED BY TEMPE IN
LAST QUARTER BY 2O-l6

Flagstaff Normal lost Saturday 8
football game to Tempe Normal on
Saturday. But the latter's victory
was of the fluke variety, happenings
of that character accounting for two
of the southern schools touchdowns.
The Flagstaff boys outplayed their
opponents in every department. The
final score was 20. to 16. Tempe
boys averaged 20 pounds heavier than
the locals.
Here is an account of the game
written by an unbiased observer:
Coming from behind in the final
period the Tempe Normal Bulldogs
edged their way to 20 to 16 victory
over the Northern Arizona Normal
Lumberjacks in one of the fastest
gridiron games ever witnessed on the
Tempe field.
With the score standing IS to IS
against them Pony Pomeroy, star pilot
of the Bulldogs, recovered drop kick
which fell short of the Flagstaff goal
in the final period and sprinted across
for the touchdown, adding another
point with a drop kick q moment later.
The fast Lumberjack backfield
whipped into the lead in the first
period when Camp, fleet right half
back, scampered across the Tempe
goal Shortly afterward Poe, Camps

RECEIVER ASKED FOR ONE
OF STATES CATTLE FIRMS

Suit to create a receivership and to
foreclose on Coburn Brothers Cattle
company, one of northern Arizona's
largest cattle outfits, which, it is al
legged, has defaulted on a 100000 is
sue, was filed in superior court at
Prescott Tuesday by Robert E. Smith
of Portland, and Austin Haskell of
Seattle, Wash.
The cattle company, according to
the complaint, issued on December 15,
1921, nearly a half million dollars
worth of 8 per cent bonds secured by
the widespread properties it owned, a
number Of cattle brands and equip
ment for operating several ranches.
The plaintiffs were purchasers of this
bond issue.

complaint, a trust was created and
after one change in personnel, Smith
and Haskell became the trustees. De-
fault of the covenants is charged in
the complaint, which asserts that
there is now due on the bond issue
the sum of $368,338.15. The plaintiffs

STORK BEATS AUTO In
RACE SUNDAY

Mr.. and Mrs. George Elliott's
little son came to them Sunday af-
tenoon while they were driving
from Grand Canyon to Flagstaff.
They were coming as fast as
George could make his Ford go, in
an endeavor TO beat the stork here.
But he overlook them Is miles
north Of Maine and nearly so miles
from Flagstaff.
They kept on coming. Two
broken springs, then a flat tire
didn't halt them for a moment.
Near Maine their car collided with
a tourists heavier car. The Ford
was thrust sideways across the
road, but George kept it coming
along. A wheel whirled off the
other car, but that was unimport-
ant compared to what George had
on his mind.
The little one was wrapped in a
blanket, but was pretty cold when
the family arrived in Flagstaff in
the middle of the afternoon.
Mother and son are at Ed Polson's
house and are doing very nicely
despite the ordeal.
Mr.. and Mrs Elliott moved to
Cottonwood a few weeks ago but
came up here again, George want
ing to sell his big horses.

TEN BUFFALO CALVES
HERE DURING WEEK
ENROUTE TO MEXICO

Ten buffalo calves were brought
into Flagstaff Monday night from
H0userock valley, north of the Colo
rado river in the north part of this

They were the property of the
Grand Canyon Cattle Co. w. A. Drake
and D. Bouman, employees of the
company, brought the calves in a big

motor truck to Mexico.
Two of the calves were yearlings,
the others of this last springs crop.
They were cut out from the older
buffalo about month ago and put in
a corral where they were gentled un-
til when they were chuted onto the
truck they took it all pretty much as
a matter of course. While the young
sters were at the Doyle corral here
in town they had many visitors.
The three owners of the Houserock
valley buffalo herd are splitting up
the herd and the Grand Canyon Cat
tie company, one of the owners, is
taking the younger stock as its share.
The Grand Canyon Cattle company
brought about 800 cattle from the
range in Houserock valley for ship
ment by train from here to the COM

Joe Bender is rushing work on his
new Railroad avenue restaurant.
While he bought the building, there is
almost nothing left Of it but the side
walls. New floor studding and floor,
new ceiling and roof, and a concrete

it 142 feet deep will leave it, when
finished, at least 95 per cent new H.

good offices of Congressman Carl

AU REVOIR
BON VOYAGE

Col Fred S. Breen, proprietor
and editor Of The Sun, accompan-
led by Mrs. Breen, left on Monday
for a short vocational iaunt. After
few days visiting relatives of
Mrs. Breen near Albany, N. Y,
they will go down to the big city
and there pick up passports armed
with which they will gaily walk up
the gang-plank Of a Red Star liner.
Shortly afterward, gazing fondly
at the Statue of Liberty, they will
wave her goodbye and when next
they see land it will be at
Havana. From there west through
the Panama canal, with brief stops
at Los Angeles and San Francisco
(what an awful long way around
to get there!) and then west across
the Pacific to Hawaii and Japan.
A couple of weeks in the latter, j
few days each in Shanghai, Peking,
Hongkong, Manila, Java, Sinapore,
Calcutta, Bombay, and various
other Asiatic cities. Egypt and
the Nile, Cairo, Palestine, Naples,
Gibralter, Monte Carlo. Back to
New York by way Of the Atlantic.
Home in the latter part of April.
The boss didn't promise to send
back any stories about strange
sights seen and things heard. But
he'd better. Otherwise if he's way
laid by bandits anywhere along the
line, or the croupier sets him back
at Monte Carlo, there's no use in
his cabling back to US for money.
We've got to keep tab on this boss
of ours when he goes vacationing
and if he doesn't at least send US a
postcard once in while we'll just
have to let him feel the iron hand
in our glove.

THANKSGIVING
Address by Mrs. T. i. Pollock be-
fore Flagstaff Rotary Club
on November "a

at comes to thankful time again
the yellow corn is shining and every
purple autumn grape can show a sill
yer lining"
The first Thanksgiving day was
celebrated by the Pilgrims in 1861.
Theirs had been an unusually boun-
tiful harvest and one for which they
we're especially grateful as their very
existence depended upon it. So Gov
ernor Bradford issued proclamation
to the effect that there would be a
harvest feast of Thanksgiving and
sent men into the woods to shoot wild
birds for the celebration.
The Indians were invited guests and
brought with them generous gifts OF
venison. The feast lasted for three
days. The Massachusetts Bay colony
had it's first Thanksgiving day in 1880
but it did not become an annual af-
fair until so years later. Connecticut
first celebrated in 1889 and the Dutch
in New Netherlands in 1644. During
the war of independence the Contlnen-
tai congress proclaimed several
Thanksgiving days year and urged
the people to observe them.
Washington and Madison issued
Thanksgiving proclamations, the lat
ter at close of the war of 1872, and
the various states observed the day
but not until the time Of Lincoln did
it become a national holiday set aside
by president Of the United States. In
1864 Lincoln chose the fuarth Thurs
day in November as day for thanks
giving and prayer-a custom which
has continued to the present time.
Starting as a religious holy day OBJ
served by a few it has developed into
a national holiday of feasting, of
games and of freedom from the usual
things Of every day.
1t is a home coming time when as
one writer says, "the old home IS
sought by all who can possibly jour
ney back to it-if God grant there be
any left to welcome"
On this day we meet in our
churches to give thanks for the year
that passed.
To quote further: at has been for
the American nation good year. Not
ours have been the worries of internal
tlisensions or outward disagreements.
Every good thing is ours, and the fu-
ture seems to spread out in golden
promise. Isn't that cause for thanks
giving?" ).
Thanksgiving means 81 thank you"
81 thank you, 0 Father, for health
and friends, for the social relation
ships. that make life worth while, for
the precious ties of home life, for the
ability to work and serve, for the con-
sciousness and ] am part of thy
divine plan for the betterment Of the
world"
An attitude which | believe should
be ours not only on the fourth Thurs
day in November but every month of
every hour of every day Of the entire
blessed year.
$50, through this year, if we have not
lived gladly,
Brave as the winter, gentle as the
spring,
Calm as the summer, keen for fall S
fulfilment,
Now chaff and husks are all the
thanks we bring!
"Here is a truth the flaming autumn
teaches;
Here are the tidings all good har-
vests tell:
Who grows from day to day in love
and beauty
And understanding thanks his
Maker well!"
