Jap salesman who had been peddling
goods all day out on the dock, this
select bunch of joy killers would say
how much did you pay for that ~
Really that was about the first
question us women folk and male folk
have asked each other for two weeks.
Each wanted to know how bad the
other had been stung, or something
like that. Well, these two old hard
hearted highbinders, whose early an
cestors must have been bandits, would
sit around and put the inevitable ques-
tion, then tell how they bought the
same assortment of junk for about 200
per cent less.
Agony and CONSERVATION was de-
picted on the faces of the purchasers.
Well, you can realize how many bar
gaineers were crushed. Coming away
from Kobe the boat was nearly begged
down to the last tonnage limit by the
influx of junk
Several prominent citizens of our
boat stayed up until or 3 O'Clock
awaiting delivery of clothes made to
order that they had ordered made that
morning. The method is to give the
merchant an old suit of clothes. Pick

SAW MILL, FASTEST
CUTTER IN SOUTHWEST

The Arizona Lumber & Timber Co.
mill, which had been shut down for
several weeks for the installation of
new machinery to double It's capacity
began saving again on Wednesday
Only the old part of the mill is
now running, but the twin equipment
of the other half will be swung into
noisy action in a couple of weeks,
when the plant will be able, it is said,
to produce more lumber per hour than
any other in the southwest. The pos
sible output in single 10-hour shift
will be between $50 and 10 thousand
feet.
The side now running, the old mill
part, has been pretty much rebuilt
and auxiliary saws put in that make
it bigger producer than before the
plant shut down.
1t was pretty much necessary to

WOMAN'S CLUB READY
FOR BIG FEDERATION
MEET HERE In APRIL

A large and enthusiastic number
Of Woman's club women gathered in
the coZy reception room at the club
house Saturday for the regular March
meeting. A number of matters were
discussed and disposed of. The club
went on record in favor of non-tip-
ping in reply to a request for stand
on this point sent out by the Grace
Dodge hotel of Washington.
Mrs. Frank Curtis presented pleas
for friendly cooperation for the bene-
fit of ex-servicenen. 1t was decided
that an assortment of handmade ar
ticles from Fort Whipple should be on
sale here during the state federation
the first week of April A vote of
thanks was expressed to the Home
Economics section for its gift of fur
niture and other nice things placed in
the clubhouse.

EARLY CLIFF DWELLER

Indian Miller writes from Canyon
Lodge to The Sun that he recently
uncovered the skeleton of cliff dwell
Ter there. A toe bone lying aboveA
ground revealed the cist, which was
in wide fissure- running laterally
from Canyon Diablo. In the grave
was clay food bowl, which was re-
covered intact. Numerous pottery
fragments indicated there were other
pots in the cliff at the time of burial
Other human bones further back in
the fissure indicate several persons
were buried there. Flood waters from

MRS. FRANK M. GOLD NEW
PRESIDENT WOMAN'S CLUB

Mrs. Frank NJ Gold is the new
president of Flagstaff Woman's club.
The election of officers for the en-
suing year was Saturday afternoon.
following the general meeting for
March. Practically all OF the Off
GERS were chosen unanimously.
In recognition of her fine work as
president during the last year, Mrs.
j. G. Clarke was again placed in
nomination; but, as she will become
president of the state assembly Of
Rebekahs in June, she felt she could
mot serve again as president of the
local organization. Thereupon, Mrs.
Gold was prevailed upon to accept the
position.
Mrs. r. e. Taylor was elected first
president, Mrs. E. d. Babbitt sec
ond e-president, Mrs. Lewis Bene-
dict recording secretary. Mrs Tom
BellWood, who filled out this last
years term as corresponding secre-
tary, was elected to that office. Mrs.
j. b. Francis was elected treasurer.
Mrs. v NJ. Slipher, in appreciation
of her good work in the position dur
ing the last year, was reelected trus-
tee.
Each department of the club will
at its next meeting choose its chair
man for the year.
The only other business considered
was the revision of the bylaws to
bring them up to date, no radical
changes being made in them. The
meeting was most harmonious and
the members feel that the new off
GERS will ably carry on the good work
done in the past.

Justice of the Peace Tom E. Pull
liam called coroner's jury together
Wednesday afternoon and with Coun-
ty Attorney Frank Harrison heard
several witnesses.
Testimony developed that Gutierrez
had an alteration with Pantaleon
Baca, to whom, according to testi-
mony previously given before Police
Magistrate Sheffield, he had sold a
quart of liquor. Baca, it is alleged,
went outside and drank the liquor,
then came back and attacked Gutter
rez. The latter threw Baca down and
sat on him, finally getting him to
agree to go home. But, when he was
let up, Baca grabbed a flat file and
stabbed Gutierrez several times on
the head The wounds were all SUI
perficial, injuring neither skull nor
brain.
Night Marshal B. C. Black arrested
the men. Guiterrez's wounds were
dressed by DR.. e. S. Flett, who care
fully cautioned him to keep the
wounds clean and keep him advised
of his condition. DR. Flett saw him
shortly after that but was not called
again until large carbunce had de-
yeloped on the back of Guiterrez's
neck and he was in very serious con-

Normal received a total appropria-
tion for the two coming fiscal years,
beginning June 80, of 1891 ,444. Of
this amount, $186,675 is appropriated
for the year of 1925-26, and the bal
ance, $144,769 for the year 1926-27.
Following are the various items in
the first years appropriation: Salar-
les $4,000, operation $31 900, travel
$500, repairs and requirements $8400,
capital investment Gymnasium $751;
IT'S. Total $186,675.
For the second year: Salaries $685.
900, operations $31 900, travel $500,
repairs and replacements $8400, CAPT
tai investment $8865. Total $144 ,769.
On the whole, the Normal budget
was well treated in the legislature.
Last year the salary allowance was
$90,000 The allowance made this
time was $1,000 less than requested.
Our Normal has been handicapped by
the low salary allowance. 1t is re-
ported that the highest salary paid
here, outside Of that of the president,
is exactly the same as the lowest paid
in one of the eastern Normal schools,
and that the average here is much
less than in most of the states out

FISHING CONTEST TO BE.
STAGED BY THE BABBITT.
HARDWARE DEPARTMENT.

In order to stimulate interest in the
sport and to help the publicity of
Flagstaff as an ideal spot for the
fishermen during fishing season, the
hardware and sporting goods depart
ment of Babbitt Brothers will an
nounce very soon list of prizes to
be given for the first and second
largest bass caught during April and
May.
The contest is to be open to every
one and there is to be no obligation
attached in anyway. Flagstaff's repu-
tation as fishing paradise is gain
ing ground very rapidly and several
sportsmen of wide repute have made
known their intention of paying us a
visit during the coming summer. Local
fishermen who have been out looking
them over report Lake Mary as be-
ing. several feet higher than few
days ago and all indications are that
a good season lies Just ahead.

Well, here all us rich folks are

islands which are entirely surrounded
by water, called the Inland sea. 1t is
wonderful to visualize, but, being a
very automatic visualizer it is always
necessary to back up to the last port

scenery.
Thoughts on trip of this aIisto-
cratic and vastly enriched cruise are
not supposed to fruitalize in rows like

preserver first, regardless of women
and children. Many of each are on
board our grand old ship, which seems
to have been press agented to all the
nations of the world, as containing the
largest aggregation of suckers in
since Captain Kidd done his
high finance stunts some several
years back. Captain Kidd, it is re-
lated, buried his. Many of us passen-

SCOUT FINANCE DRIVE
BEGINS NEXT TUESDAY:
c. B. WILSON IN CHARGE

The Boy Scouts committee of Flag
staff is going to give every citizen of
Flagstaff the opportunity to contri-
butte to the boy scout fund. The drive
viii begin on Tuesday morning. Teams
OF workers from all the civic and ira
ternal organizations will assist. Scout
ing IS a community affair and these
organizations are going to see that
the drive is a big success.
The committees will leave head
quarters in the county court house at
8 a. m. Tuesday. Each team will have
a certain area to cover and then the
committee will report back to head
quarters. Enough teams will be sent
out to cover most Of the whole town
in one day. A short snappy drive
ought to see Flagstaff well over the
top.
c. B. Wilson will be in charge Of
the drive. Mr.. Wilson said, 1.-THE
drive this year should be one of the
most successful ever held Our scouts
are doing good work and we must
keep them advancing, because scout
training is one of the finest boy pro-
grams known"
Executive Mccormick will be in
charge at headquarters on Monday.
The public will be kept informed of
the progress of the drive. Full re-
suits will be recorded on thermome-
ter in front of the postoffice during
the day. After each team has re-
ported the results will be recorded.
All know what scouting means to
the community Every boy needs the
that the scout program has
to offer, no matter what his race or
creed or home life. Scouting teaches
a boy to keep himself physically fit,
mentally awake and morally straight.
The work of the Flagstaff scouts
has been very good during the last
year. The membership of the troops
has more than doubled in the last IA
One new troop was organiz-
ed in February and now we have five
troops with a membership of over rs
boys. New scouts are being admitted
as fast as they can take examination.
Boys from all walks of life are en-
rolled. The Normal training school
has live troop now under the direc-
ton of Chester f. Deaver. The Elks
lodge has full troop of 80 scouts,
doing excellent work under the leader
ship of Scoutmaster Jack Fuss. Troop
4, sponsored by the Knights of Column
bus, is for Spanish-American boys
and A. ]. Mitchell is keeping them in
terested and they are doing advance
ment work with an eager desire. to
learn to be real scouts. The Rotary
club started a new troop last month
The committee chose H. Norton Cope
FOR scoutmaster. Membership is
growing.

mans during the second week of Feb

dition from the infection, the poison
from which had spread throughout his
system. Rheumatism quickly devel-
oped and day before his death pneu-
monia further complicated the case.
Drs. A. H. Schermann and Charles
Ploussard, who had visited deceased
the day before his death, the latter
making an examination of the infec-
ton; DR.. Felix Manning, county
health officer, who in the presence of
DR.. Schermann had made the autopsy,
and DR.. Flett, City Marshal Cooper
and Night Marshal Black all were wit
nesses. The inquest was continued
until this morning at nine o'clock to
give the officers chance to round up
Baca and someone who had witnessed
the fight.
Both Gutierrez and Baca were fined
last month, the morning following the
fight, Police Magistrate Sheffield as
sessing Baca $100 for fighting and
Gutierrez $500 for selling booze.
Gutierrez left a widow and a mar
ried daughter, the latter a resident of
Prescott. He had lived in Flagstaff
for 20 years or more.

was gut only little. Travel allow
ance of $500 year had been asked
for The cut made in that was in
line with that made in all other state
departments, which are to be exceed
ingly limited in that direction during
the next "a months. Repairs and re-
placements were only slightly cut. In
the capital investment division total
cut was made of $4,000, which had
been asked for a new presidents cot
tage and for engagements to build
ings.
The appropriation bill held the leg
islature in session until Sunday morn
ing. The house had been extremely
liberal. The senate was exceedingly
parsimonious. When the former got
the appropriation bill back from the
latter it took long time to get to-
gether.
The state fair appropriation was re-
stored, all but $4,000, which was trans
ferred to the northern Arizona fair at
Prescott. The national guard allow
ance was restored The water COM
mission remained impoverished some
what. Tempe Normal was cut some
what heavier than Flagstaff Normal.
Salaries of presidents in each school
were fixed at $4,000.

This is the biggest definite step
taken in long time to help solve the
housing problem with which Flagstaff
has been confronted for years and
which has steadily been growing more
perplexing.
Royal Lescher of Lescher & Ma
honey, Phoenix architects, was here
several weeks ago in conference about
the proposed building. The Sun has
known for some time what was being
planned, but complied with the request
not to make the announcement until
papers had actually been signed. They
have been.
The structure will sbe two stories
and basement, of pressed brick, orna-
mental facade of modified Spanish
style, with shuttered windows.
The lower floor will be divided into
two stores with extra high ceilings.
One, facing Leroux street, will have
a 50-foot front and extend back 80
feet. 1t is to be occupied by the J.
C. Penney company, whose present
quarters in the Masonic Temple have
been outgrown This company has
for some time been on the watch for
a larger store to properly take care
of its large and steadily increasing
business. The store will be equipped
throughout with new Grand Rapids
furniture, r. H. Simpson, manager of
the Penney store announces, none of
the fixtures being moved there from
the present store.

BOTH MADE
GOOD RECORDS

Coconino county has every rea-
son to feel proud of the two men
it sent to the state legislature
Senator Walter Runke and Assem-
blyman Major Harry B. Embach,
both of Flagstaff, the former re-
publican and the latter democratic.
Both were for the pact without
reservations; but there was no pos
sible chance of putting through it's
endorsement that way. SO they
stood for its endorsement with
reservations. Both were for the
new live stock code. Both fought
consistently and ably for the in
terests Of the schools. Both kept
as far as possible on the side of
economy, with an eye to efficiency.
Two better men could not have
been selected for the positions.
Neither has anything to apologize
for and much to be proud of.

The Boys Games
Coach Kerr's Miners from Jerome
exhibited the best brand of basketball
of the tournament. Defeating two big
clubs like Round Valley and Snow
flake is a supreme task
The Jerome boys were by no means
frail. Connelley and eDicus stand
over six feet in their stocking feet,
while Cain, Vihel and Bish are not
dwarfs. DAILY is perhaps the smallest
man on the squad.
But Jerome lost the championship
of northern Arizona because its cap
tain and coach slipped a cog. The
team had worked hard to get into
the finals against ST. Johns. In the
two preliminary games Jerome play
ed clean, swift and intelligent basket
ball. 1t is a wonderful passing club,
the best in northern Arizona, and it
also is the swiftest.
In the tournament its generalship
was excellent and its defense as con-
sistent as it offense.
Working all season without a coach,
st. Johns did not perform in the semi
finals as brilliantly as was expected.

Miss Tenny's sextette is without
question the cleverest that showed its
wares in the tourney, one of the best
that that has been seen in action on
the Flagstaff courts. 1t had no luck
in its conquests. 1t reached the peak
by fine team spirit, condition, consist
ent play and gameness. 1t had to
whip Flagstaff, Jerome and Williams,
three of the strongest girls clubs in
the northern part of the state. And
it had to do that trick in two days.
Round Valley won its first game from
Flagstaff, p to II, and the next day
took the Jerome girls into camp by
the count of 28 to 8.
In the finals Coach Britt's hitherto
unbeaten club failed to show the form
they easily displayed in earning vic
tory against the Prescott femmes,
missing shot after shot from long and
short range, as well as under the bas-
ket. Round Valley girls missed plenty
too, but once they got into action they
were hard crew to stop. Coach Britt
switched Gonzales, his cleverest and
fastest forward, as a last hope, to
guard the diminutive Nina Hale, who
seemed to find the basket from any
imaginable angle. All through the
first half the Williams girls fought
valiantly, but they could not stand
under the physical strain required.
Coach Britt, rather than see his girls
suffer further physical discomfort,
conceded the game to Round Valley at
