THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE
Racing Craze One Of
The Ais of England
BY Milton BrOnner
NEA Service Writer

London, June 27.-Members of the
British Parliament are always ask
ing what ais the country, why it
doesn't get more work done, and
why more money is not saved, but al
ways dodge facing the truth about
one Of their plagues-year-round
racing.
Our country, with l10,OOO,OOO PEG
pie, only has races few weeks III
the year. And at most/of the tracks
the pari-mutuel system of betting
is in vogue.
Great Britain with only 45,OOO,O 900
people, practically has racing all the
time. And with it an army of book
makers. The people are race-m
Newspapers get out early editions
in the morning just to give the final
entries and the betting PRICES. The
tracks always draw huge crowds.
Why wouldn't they, when the king
and the nobility are both race-horse
owners and assiduous race-goers!
The hours of labor lost by the myri-
ads of men who go to the races are
incalculabIe. The money lost and
which goes to the maintenance OF
an army of parasites in the betting
business must be huge

SUPERVISORS ABOLISH
COUNTY RANGERS JOB

County board of supervisors at their
regular monthly meeting on Monday
decided to abolish the office of coun-
ty ranger, on the ground, it is under
stood, that there is not enough work
required to justify the salary expense.
The position has been held for some
time by VIM. f. Wallace, an old-timer
here and capable and thoroughly
conscientious man. He has been work
ing under the direction of Sheriff VIM.
A. Campbell. The sheriff is in Ere
donia this week. 1t is reported that
he had no advance notice that the
supervisors contemplated abolishing
the office. Mr.. Wallace and Deputy
Sheriff Rudd were in Phoenix on of
ficial business on Monday, and, 1t is
understood, Mr.. Wallace had no intim-
alton that his services were to
be dispensed with. =
On the other hand, it is stated au-
thoritatively, the board has had the
matter under contemplation for two
or three months. Their stand is that
the county ranger is supposed to be
out on the cattle ranges practically all
of the time, but that Mr.. Wallace has
been giving the larger part OF his
time to the work of the sheriff. AS
none of the salary, 5000 a month, is
charged to the sheriff, but all is
charged to the supervisors expense
they felt justified in declaring the Of

ARTIST SHOWING LOCAL
LANDSCAPES IN EAST

Ferdinand Burgdorff, celebrated
landscape painter, who came to Flag
staff last summer with Artist-Car-
toonist Jimmie Swinnerton and stuck
around in these parts several months,
has sent The Sun card announcing
an exhibition at the Korner & Wood
galleries, Cleveland, Ohio, February
/ to 16, "of the latest paintings OF
the desert and Grand Canyon"
On the card Mr.. Burgdorff wrote:
"Greetings to the livest town in the
west"
1t was Burgdorff who conceived the
idea of a big flagpole and talked it
around until the Rotary club saw to
,having one erected, last Armistice day
1.-TWO new flags for the pole were re
ceiyed this last weelS.) Burgdorff had
the commission for painting of our
San Francisco peaks for the Santa Fe
railroad company and likely minia-
lures of his work will soon be shown
in the company's advertising Htera-
ture. The artist is a likeable chap
and easily made a lot of friends who
will be glad to have him back here
again next summer.

BUT SUCH A GOOD
OPPORTUNITY FOR HIM
TO SEE THE MOONSHINE

Frank Jamison of Las Vegas, New,
who had been looking the country ov-
err. meandered into Flagstaff Monday
morning at two o'clock. But that is
only half of the story. Frank set
gaily forth from Cottonwood Sunday
morning, in a nice, comfortable cal
with friends, bound for Flagstaff. All
went well until they reached Sedona.
There they found that Schnebly hill
was impossible by motor because Of
construction work. And the car went
back the way it came.
Frank decided to push on afoot. He
had been told that he could bunk at
some ranch for the night and then
carry on the next morning. He did
have lunch at a ranch house at about
four in the afternoon. Then he set
forth again with light heart and a
full stomach.
But from then on Lady Luck for
sock Mr.. Jamison. He walked and he
walked. Then he walked some more.
But no habitation did he see. And
as night came on he heard wolves and
coyotes singing their love songs unto
the stars. This quelled any thoughts
he might have had of camping by the
roadside. He decided to make Flag
staff before he quit. He did. And at
two o'clock in the morning he arrived
at the Bank hotel, where he sought
lodging.
at was great trip" says Frank,
"but never again for naine!"

Scout troop, under the leadership Of
Scoutmaster Jack Fuss, took their
first hike Saturday. Seventeen boys
left town at $50 on trip which all
enjoyed. Going north from town the

class requirements. Others took only
one. but each boy tried to get through
some test. Fire building, cooking AND

'Twas naturalization day in Flag
staff Wednesday and three were adj
mitted to full citizenship, while one
case was dismissed without prejudice
and another with prejudice.
Mike Duffy of Williams, native OF
Ireland; Andrew Ericsson Sparr OF
Flagstaff, native of Sweden, and
Constantinus Kellaris of Williams
native Of Greece, are now citizens.
The latter's name was at the same
time changed to Gust Kellaris.
Peter M. Cowbrough of Williams
will have to file new papers as one OF
his witnesses, James j. Scanlon ol
Williams, who all along had supposed
he was a citizen of this country
through his fathers naturalization
found out he isn't citizen, his father
never having been naturalized.
Salvador Peris of Flagstaff, on the
ground that he claimed exemption as
an alien during the war, was denied
citizenship and evidently there isnf
any use of his trying again.
Homer B. Terrill, U. S. naturaliza-
ton examiner, was here from Los
Angeles and with u. S. Commissioner
Tom L. Rees conducted the examina-
tons.

OUR BUFFALO RULED TO

That's what's stumping County As

of the state, referring to this herd,

delinquent taxes on the buffalo. They
have not been assessed at all during
the last several years. Following is

WILLIAM AND MARIA WERE
EASIEST MARKS OF CUPID'S
DARTS HERE DURING 1923

Out of the one hundred and fifty
five couples married in this county
last year, William was the most pop
ular name of the men, while Maria
was the favorite of the women, ac-
cording to the records in County
Clerk Tom Rees' office. In making
application for marriage licenses, II
women were too modest to give their
ages, while nine men did not do So.
The records go on to show that 26
women were older than the men they
married, in 90 cases the men were
older, and in IL cases both were of
the same age.
Justice of the Peace Robert ]. Kidd
was the official champion Cupid of
the year, with 35 pairs Of scalps to
his credit. Next came the Rev. w.
H. Zook, who forged the bonds of
matrimony for % couples. Rev. Faith
er G. Vabre married Is couples as
also did Superior Court Judge j. E..
Jones. Justice Scotty McDougall of
Williams tied nine matrimonial knots.
Next to Arizona, California took
the, banner for marriages of her chill
dren in this county, with a total of
18. New Mexico came in second with
13@while Illinois rated third with five
victims of the blind bow-boy. States
other than these represented in the
local marriage market were: Oklaho>
ma, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio, Mis-
souri,, New Jersey, Texas, Vermont,
Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Utah and
one from the Dominion of Canada. In
this state the counties of Yavapai,
Navajo, Graham, Yuma, Pima, Co

STUNT NEXT SUNDAY

Driving a spic and span new Max
well touring car, two men and two
women from Williams, with little
child, got a flying spill on Sunday
on the Beeson hill a short distance
west of Flagstaff on the road to
Williams. That someone wasn't killed
seemed a miracle, The car got from
under control and dashed first one way
and then the other, then jumped off a
bank ten feet high, turning over
frontwise and landing upside down. A
wheel was torn off, the windshield and
top smashed, and the occupants es-
capped with only few slight bruises.

CELEBRATION, CLUB HOUSE

Monday night the American Legion
held meeting in the rooms of the
Rotary club in the Weatherford hotel.
At this meeting it was decided that
the play Kathleen" would not be pro-

would have to be postponed until some
time in Lent, and that would be too
late.
The baseball team of the Legion is
progressing, several of the players-to-
be have been given jobs here in town.
One man still lacks work, but this
will soon be remedied. No more men
will be brought into town until jobs
have been secured for them.

built in Schulz canyon two miles
above the reservoirs and will impound
50, 900 900 gallons, or 4,0O0,000 gallons
more than our largest reservoir holds,
and will cost approximately only
