Mr.. Pattangall expresses the
opinion that the Republican candi-
date for Governor was nominated by
Democratic votes. 1t is noticeable
that he stops short Of advising
Democrats to live up to the obliga-
tons, they assumed, by voting for
the Republican candidate at the
September election. Yet Mr.. Pat
tangall is usually strong on logical
conclusions. Perhaps he lacks con-
fldence in the willingness Of Demo-
Gratis to live up to their obligations.

The house should be white,
The barn red,
The farm carts blue,
There should be hillock for the dead,

Cows each with her bell.

Good sleep in the bed

COTTON IN FLAGSTAFF ON
CONTINENTAL VACATION

DIR. H. S. Cotton, archeologist, Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, who has
spent many summers in and around
Flagstaff delving into ancient Indian
ruins, arrived with his wife and little
son on Saturday for stay of week
or SO at his camp, just back of the
John Francis country home. The Col
tons are taking real vacation this
summer. Instead of delving into mys-
teries of the past they have been tour
ing in their Buick car, visiting the
Big Horn and Teton mountain sec
tions, and up in the Puget Sound coun-
try, the nto Flagstaff, where they will
leave their car until next summer, re-
turning to their home in Ardmore, Pa,
by train.
Both DR.. and Mrs. Cotton noted
much Improvement in Flagstaff in the
year they had been away, both in new
buildings, the appearance of homes
and in the city park. They report that
grazing conditions are very much bet
ter here than in any Of the north graz

FOREST RANGERS OF TWO
STATES in FLAGSTAFF AT
MONTHS SUMMER SCHOOL

Forest rangers from all over the
southwest will arrive in Flagstaff this
week to attend the rangers training
school at the southwestern forest ex-
perment station, Fort Valley, near
here, which will open next Monday and
continue for month.
This in an innovation. The instruct
ors will be men detailed from the
district forest office at Albuquerque,
assisted by supervisors from some of
the various forests and by G. A. Pear
son, chief of the local experiment sta
ton. The men will camp at the ex-
pertinent station, making occasional
trips through the local forest in prac-
tica application of some of the things
studied. E. w. Loveridge of Albuquer-
que district office will be in general
charge of the school.
Grazing conditions, tree conserva-
ton, improved fire-fghting methods,
these are a few of the many things
that will be studied. The idea is to
give the rangers general all-around
forest training, to equip them as full
ly as possible for their routine duties
and arm them with the knowledge re-
quisite to cope with unforeseen prob
lens in forestry and conservation that
may develop with them.
About 80 men from the Arizona and
New Mexico national forests will take
the training, it is estimated.

COUNCIL ORDERS SLIGHT
REDUCTION in CITY TAXES

City council had a busy meeting
Monday night.
Some time ago when Chautauqua
avenue and an alley in the John M.
Clark block were closed, the land was
decided to Mr.. Clark, who later sold
part of the block to Charles w. Isham
and Ernest T. w. Coulter. A recent
decision Of council that all land thus
disposed of should be charged for at
the rate of $5 thousand square feet,
brought Mr. Clark to the meeting. He
said he believed Mr.. Coulter and Mr.
Isham, who had paid for their share
of the alley and street land, should
be refunded the money. Council took
it under advisement.
City Engineer Goodman, after a talk
to council by j. C. Clarke, was in
structed to plat the east part of the
block on which the Odd Fellows
building stands, after which the coun-
Gil will approve the proposition made
by the Odd Fellows and Mrs. w. H,
Power that the east and west 10
foot alley touching their properties
be dedicated to the city for opening
up and using.
City Attorney F. w. Perkins asked
on behalf of the Baptists of the state
that council give permission to that
denomination to use the city park next

ROTARIANS MIXED ALL
SORTS OF SUBJECTS INTO

Poppy Tex Mackey was the peppy
chairman at the peppy Rotary meet
ing Tuesday and as might have been
expected it was reg'lar OF meetin'.
President C B. Wilson opened
things up wide, soaking some of the
meanest for discovered and suspected
crimes. Milt Powers had brought bou-
quets, Billy Switzer cigars in cele-
bration of his 21st birthday, Miss Elsa
Myers her ninlble fingers to chase the
worries while they sang, and Sergeant
alarms Bill Cady his little collection
cup, and his swallow-tailed oesopha-
gus to lead the singing.
Tex, who about to quit dentistry
and go into partnership with Irving
Berlin writing ditties, had prepared
the following which they all sang:
Down where the belt clasps little
stronger
Down where the pants should be a
little longer,
That's where the Vest begins;
Down where you wish you were lit
tie slighter,
Where the shirt that shows is a lit
tie winter,
Where each day the buttons grow a
little tighter
That's where the Vest begins.
"Down where the pains are in the
making,
And each heavy meal will soon start
it aching,
Tha t's where the Vest begins.
Where each added pound is the cause
of signing,
When you know in your heart that the
scales aren't lying,
And you just have to guess when your
shoes need tying,
That's where the Vest begins"
Tex told lot of stories. President
C. B. also told one. Let 'em dry out a

seen of him alive.

man for some unaccountable reason
walked into the lower part of the
sawmill through mass of gears and
belts and shafting, where only the oil

stepped into the big drive-belt of the
engine and was forced through into
the pit and killed instantly. His body

MRS. JOHN S. MATTHEWS
DIED HERE THIS MORNING

Mrs. John S. Matthews died at
Mercy hospital early this morning
from childbirth. The little one, a
boy, is reported doing nicely.
Mrs. Matthews before her marriage
on May 20, 1917, was Miss Elsie
C. Jordan. She was born November
Il, 1894 and was a graduate of the
Flagstaff Normal school, class of
1916, just two years after her hus-
band was graduated from the same
institution.
Mrs. Matthews taught few terms
following her graduation. MIR. and
Mrs. Matthews returned few months
ago from Delphos, Kansas, where
they lived two or three years after
leaving Flagstaff. He is grandson
of Judge S. B. Gilliland and is dep
uty sheriff in charge Of the Coco
nino county Jail.
Besides her husband and the new
born infant, Mrs. Matthews leaves a
little daughter, not quite two years
old. Their first child, son, died in
infancy.
The sympathy of the community
goes out to the bereaved husband and
the little ones. Mrs. Matthews was
a sweet young woman, of many ac-
complishments.
