WILL WAIT NO
MORE PERFUME

Former Sheriff w. A. Campbell
anticipated New Year eve and his
withdrawal from office in favor
Of his successor, John o. Parsons,
by having big metal bonfire in
the yard near the Jail.
Most of the stuff he put on the
fire didn't burn, but it came
through the ordeal considerably
damaged.
And certain people every time
they pass the heap that remains
lick their lips and fight against
threatened hiccups.
For represented there are thou
sands of jags that might have
been; thousands of headaches that
never materialized; perhaps a
fight or two
They are the charred and dis
membered remains of score or
more of stills, some copper, some
tin, some cheap, some expensive,
some large, some small-all seiz-
ed during his tenure of office by
the former sheriff and his depu-
ties.
1t is estimated the debris repre-
sents what cost at least a thou
sand dollars to buy and a good
many more thousands in fines and
lawyers fees, to say nothing of
loss of time involved by owners
who laid here in jail or, as occurred
in many cases, in other prisons to
which they were taken.

very much like an Arizona cowman
builds winged fence to his corral to
trap wild cattle and horses out on the
range, to prevent our missing the
place. This enabled the Belgenland
to hit the east entrance of the canal
without stopping around none. The
wing fence was built of stone and
had lanterns burning red oil scattered
about on it.
Off at the right there was big
flashlight which picked US up out at
sea as we approached. A few air
planes fluttered around overhead
wearing U. S. colors. We merely
mention this fact to show that Uncle
Sam is watching to see that no one
sneaks up on this place in the night
or any other old time, whose inten-
tions amt accompanied by smile.
You will note by reading geological
reports that Arizona and the rest of
the United States paid 100000 900 for
the place to put this big ditch clear
through, let alone several hundred
million too numerous to grasp or men
ton that it cost to make it possible
to drain ships through it.

There was no other applicant. Wilbur
L. Wellington, the only applicant, was
reappointed ianitor of the court house.
DR.. Felix Manning, for the Last sew
eral years the efficient county health
officer, was reappointed. There was
no other applicant The health Off
Ger for Williams, another man who
has done good work for the last few
terms, DR.. c. d. Jeffries, was reap
pointed.
Bert Lauzon, without opposition, is
again custodian of Bright Angel trail
at Grand Canyon, and 0. r. G ark
custodian of Lees Ferry. G. II. Moon
was an applicant for the latter posi-
ton, but Clark's good work, it was
felt. entitled him to the place.
The appointment of county commits
sioner to the state fair was deferred.
Clarence D. Sanderson, the present
commissioner for the last two fairs
was an applicant. 1t is believed this
position will be done away with.
Claude W. knight and Harry Stoll-
berg were both after the job as coun-
ty mechanic, the latter for reappoint-
ment. While there was no dissatisfac-
tion with Mr.. Stolberg's work, still
the fact that Mr.. Knight is taxpayer
here and is a capable man resulted in
his unanimous choice.
There were four applicants for the
job of assistant county mechanic.

COURT BUNGALOW Is
NOW BEING PLANNED

with small lawn space. In the court
there will be arc lights.
1t is hoped to begin construction as
soon in the spring as the weather per-
mits, to have the apartments ready
for occupancy as early in the sum-
mer as possible.
If Messrs. Moran and Hennessy
carry out these plans and build the
apartments they will have performed
wonderful service for Flagstaff and
they need have no fear that there will
not be plenty of renters. Flagstaff
population is growing much faster
than its housing facilities, and had
the latter grown faster during the
last few years, the population also
would have grown faster.
The utmost development Of our
tourist resources is necessary for
Flagstaff to attain its fullest posi-
BILE measure of growth and prosperity.
And the men who help solve this
perplexing housing problem are the
men who will deserve the greatest
credit for our future growth. Like
wise, they are the men who stand the
best chance to profit most from it.

With the proposed advertisement
this month calling for bids on 1900

greaves national forest, in Navajo
county south of Winslow, it is likely
that northern Arizona will before long

HOME ECONOMICS
DEPARTMENT MEET

Members of the Home Economics
department listened to an interesting
program at the Woman's club Tues
day afternoon. This was the last
meeting devoted to the topic of inter
ior decorating, being under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Ed Babbitt, Mrs. Tom
Mccullough read well-prepared pa
per on the decoration of china, and
Mrs. r. G. Babbitt discussed the value
of pictures and their proper hanging.
Those present expressed their great
approval of the new articles of furni
ture bought and placed by Mrs. Ed
Babbitt and Mrs. Walter Bennett. The
money which purchased these new
things was earned by these ladies
with dances and food sales. Other
members have earned the money and
bought curtains for the reception
room. Different departments are
pledged to secure more needed pieces
of furniture.

There is no appropriation in our
budget for advertising the city. This
is a business, and a big business
should be advertised.
"There are campaigns that should be
made for improvements to lawns,
planting of trees, painting, general
cleanup all over town.
"But, most serious of all, is our
housing condition." he declared. "In
the eight years | have been here
have never seen a time in summer
when there were plenty of houses.
Every summer many are turned away
because there is no place where
they can be comfortable

our Normal school, our housing sit

extent as taking over the new Sit
greaves tract would make necessary.

PRESCOTT GETS LEAD
IN FIRST OF INTER
CITY PIN CONTESTS

The first game of the telephone
bowling contest between Flagstaff
and Prescott resulted disastrously to
the former, none of our men rol ing
up to their previous form, partly be-
cause of lack of recent practice. The
result of the three games was 1884
pins for Prescott against 2244 for
Flagstaff, or a lead of 140 pins.
Both towns bowled Friday night
and will continue the tournament on
their respective alleys this and fol
lowing Friday nights, later winding
up with several games at Prescott.

ELI LUCERO NOW is A
FLAGSTAFF MERCHANT

Gus Carlson has sold his meat mar
ket on South San Francisco street to
Eli Lucero, the transfer having been
made the last of last week.
This stand has been doing lively
business since it was started up a
few months ago. Under Mr. Lucero's
ownership it will continue to grow, as
he is popular here among wide cir
Gle of friends Most of his time for
the last few years has been given to
the sheep business, but he intends now
to devote it all to the store.
Mr.. Carlson has not decided just
what he will do, but likely will return
to the numbering game, with which he
has made his pork and beans, and
plenty of both, for several years.

"After-dinner speakers prove every

between science and religion, and, if
they define science and religion in
the right way, there is not said the
speaker. But, while we talk of this,

Even today, in Columbia University,

The American people consume un-
told quantities of patent medicine,
either of no value or of very little
value. at profits to the manufa cturers
ranging from 100 to 200 per cent.
In the face of these and multi
tudes of other absurdities, we flatter
ourselves, for example, on the de-
crease in tuberculosis for which our
public health work takes all the
credit, but when we consider that the
rate of that disease falls off quite as
rapidly in districts where no work
has been done as where much money
has been expended, we have occasion
