BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIA

In two preceding articles I have dis

Probably there Is no better medium
FOR the wage-earner or the small SAL
aried man who desires to adopt some
plan Of systematic saving. Most of
US require not only an incentive, but
some form Of compulsion. before we
Will regularly set aside part of our

provides just this
1t is. however not the only form of
thrift to be recommended. Life in
surance is very important. and while
l do not profess to be an expert on
insurance problems. l am convinced
that whenever possible every one
should carry a certain amount of life
insurance. Supposing. however. that
you already have insurance in ade-
quate amount and have adopted the
building and loan plan either for saw
,ngs or for prospective home owning,
you should next consider some form
of cash reserve for emergency pur-
poses. For most people the savings
bank best supplies this need. Funds
so deposited are always Immediately
available. 1t Is also wise. IL your
means warrant. to have i checking q
account in commercial bank. 1t
raises ones self respect to pay ones
bills by check and it adds to ones
standing in community. If the bal
ance you carry is small. many banks
make a service charge, but the &C.
commodation Is worth the cost.
When one comes to consider invest
ment securities first acquisitions
should be bonds of the very highest
grade. l do not mean necessarily
libertys, although even at present
high prices these are desirable, but
bonds of the strongest railroads, utili-
ties and industrials. Corporations
and wealthy individuals keep a GER
tain proportion of these funds in
these high-gr securities. and the
small investor may well follow their
example. 1t is only when you have
laid this solid foundation that you
are ready to consider the higher

ferred stocks. II every one would
follow this simple schedule the days

NEW YORK, September 27.-The
demand for special issues which has
made itself felt throughout the great

today's brief session. However, those

general advance. The usual weekend

and the price movement continued
irregular.

rs MY MEMORY RECALLS
COMMODORE PERRY OWENS
BY George H. Crosby, Jr. of Flagstaff in ST. Johns
Observer.

He ran away from his quiet farm
home in Indiana when but a boy of
thirteen, and his parents never saw
him again and heard very little from
him until he had served as sheriff of
Apache county, and was the most re-
nowned peace officer and gunman of
the southwest. He was one gunman
who always fought for law and order.
was driving the mail out Of Navajo
Springs to st. Johns-then a night
run-in the last days of August,
1886, and met him with two As Colts
on his waist belt and two more on
his saddle, while his slightly sandy
hair was long and his face was un-
shaven. | thought the mail was rob-
bed, but cool, collected hand reach
ed out and took my trembling one, as
he told me his name was Owens and
asked mine. A few days later he came
in as a clark horse" into the Winslow
convention and was nominated and
elected sheriff over Lorenzo HubbeH.
With Texas cleaning up on its bad
men, they were flocking into the ter
ritories and it was a terrible time, but
Commodore served notice on "the
boys" that he was sheriff now, and
they must behave" Harris Baldwin,
lawyer of exceptional ability, was
district attorney, and arrests, killings
and prosecutions followed fast.
/ do not remember all of the killings,
but / think there were seven made by
officers during that one term. Bad
men steered clear of Apache county
and many of those that were there
soon left or reformed. His most
celebrated encounter was at Holbrook,
The last end of the Graham faction of
the Tonto Basin war fighters had
taken refuge there, and the sheriff
went alone to arrest them. When he
knocked at the door they shot through
at him. He opened the door and
killed two and shot a third one
through the neck and later killed an
infuriated boy who came to kill him.

Frank Lesur, Gus Gibbons, Will
Maxwell and Carlos Tafoya were

crates are often ungrateful and that
of Apache county controlled by fact
ions who had fallen out with him, re-
fused Arizona's greatest sheriff a
second term. He then became a
special robber-hunting employee of
the Atlantic and Pacific railroad, and
in 1856 served as the first (appoint-
ed) sheriff of newly-created Navajo
county.
Carrying mail as I was, Commo-
dore got to know me well and was my
friend. ! remember his three saddle
horses-his greatest pride, excepting
his pistols-and he related the exploits
of the Blevins killing at Holbrook done
with Winchester rifle shot from the
hip, to me, and showed me the trou-
sers he wore that were grazed by two
bullets, and he told me how he slept
with Mcneil, the outlaw poet, and did
not know who he was, and how Mcneil
left and went into Utah when the
sheriff sent him word he was going
to "get' him, and of his capture and
loss of Kid Swingle.
In later life he was in the liquor
business at Seligman, where | often
went to see him. The last time / saw
him he lost his mind and did not know
any of his old friends, but when /
talked to him about his old days as
sheriff, he truthfully said, 'They re
fused me a second term because | was
a killer, but killer was what they
needed then"

modore Owens was brought to Flag
staff few years ago and buried in
the local cemetery. He was resi-

Nauaio National Monument

The Navajo national monument is
within the great and little known
Navajo Indian reservation in north
eastern Arizona. It comprises three
seperate tracts of land each of which
contains the ruins of remarkable
prehistoric cave or pueblo or cliff
dwelling in a good state of preser
walton. These are known as Betatkin
(the Navajo name of side-hill house),
Kitsil (meaning broken pottery: and
Inscription House. The latter ruin
derives its name from an inscription
scratched into the clay plaster of a
wall. 1t reads: ssS-hapeiro Ano Dom
1861" An intrepid early Spanish ex-
plorer or father probably on his way
to ar from the Colorado river must
have entered the canyon in which this
ruin is located and paused at the long
abandoned pueblo to scratch a record
of his visit. 1t was not again visited
until June, 1909.
Betatalin is situated at an e,evat-
ion Of 1000 feet, in a great cave 450
feet long with a maximum depth of
$50 feet, in the side of a soft, red
sandstone cliff which forms the walls
of a most picturesque and beautiful
canyon. The cave roof projects far
out over the village, which originally
contained 120 rooms and occupied
every foot of building space, but is so
high that swirling storms have caused
shruIbbery to grow up to the very
foundations Of the ancient homes.
Within the cave itself is never fail

gorge below is filled with tall, slender
quaking aspen, alder, and birch, while
the opposit slope is studded with
pines.

THE COMPETITIVE RELATION
BETWEEN COMPETITORS
Address ~ W. H. Flagstaff
Club January %

AS we investigate this subject, we
should ask ourselves some question.
First. What is the relationship or
connection between men? In answer
to this question / think that | may
safely say that we all realize that
although we may have different ideas
and opinions regarding certain things,
and also different traits of character,
yet there are many things which bind
us very closely together and help US
to realize our common relationship
one to another. For instance, we all
of us have our hopes and ambitions.
We are all striving to obtain success
in our various vocations, and if at
some time we see one who has perhaps
through force of circumstances not
been as successful as he wished, we
can sympathize with him, knowing
what it would mean to US if we were
in the same position, and realizing
that he like ourselves has been in
pursuit of that elusive thing called
success. Perhaps we will pause to
consider the fact that it might have
been any one of US instead of him;
and hence a realization Of the common
relationship of mankind is brought to
us.
Regarding the competitive relation
ship, l might say that we are all COM
petitors; that is, all mankind. We are
like athletes who in an athletic tourn-
ament are all striving to obtain high
honors. Not all receive prize, and
in like manner not all of us obtain
success, but that should not prevent
us from striving with all our ability
to do so. But as we strive should we
lose sight of the fact that there are
certain rules that we should observe
and certain obligations which we
should have toward each other !?
1t is said that, Competition is the
life of trade" This we all admit to
be true, but the question now presents
itself, What kind of competition? and
as we compete have we any obliga-
tions toward our fellow competitor ?
We must answer in the affirmative,
that is, if we intend to be honest. Adj
mitting this to be true what are they :?
We might say, first, that we should
at all times respect each other, or in
other words carry on a competition
that is clean. If two men are in the

the open spaces between the apart
ments are strewn with broken pottery
of the finest type produced by the
ancient cliff dwellers. The village
completely fills cave $50 feet long
and so feet deep. There are 148
rooms in all. Several circular cere-
monial chambers or hyas at the front
of the caves and below the level of
its floor indicate the tribe occupying
it was different from the clan that
lived at Betatkin as in latter there
are no rooms of this type. Kitsil is
situated in wooded canyon the walls
Of which are warmly colored The
greens of the foliage and bright
flowers create a picturesque setting
in an atmosphere OF peace and simpli-
city.
The Navajo Monument is reached
from Flagstaff, on the Santa Fe
railroad and National Old Trails road,
by fair dirt road running northeast
erly and crossing the Little Colorado
river on suspension bridge into the
Navajo Indian reservation. just be-
fore the bridge crossing a new road
from the left comes from the Grand
Canyon national park which is now
also point of departure. Tuba City
IS reached 80 miles from Flagstaff
and about the same distance from
Grand Canyon village. Sixty-five
miles farther takes one to Marsh Pass
and 18 miles farther to Kayenta, a
post office and trading post, which
is an outfitting point for the saddle
and pack horse trip to the monument.
John Wetherill of Kayenta is custod-
ian of the, monument, and reliable
outfitter. Indian guides are engaged
for the trips. The Betatakin ruin is
