We have been in the doldrums of
fear that it wouldn't be finished this
fall and that the water scarcity might
amount to almost water famine by
next summer when the heavy summer
flow from the springs begins.
But all that danger is past. Not
only are we insured of enough water,
but even during the last few weeks,
while only part of the new line was in
use, enough additional water had been
developed at the springs to greatly in
crease the October and November
flow over former years.
Here are a few pleasant facts:
While on October 30, 1924, the aver
age daily flow into the city reservoir
was only 180,860 gallons, on October
30, this year, it was $4,000 gallons.
Pipes are being laid into new water
developed at the springs that will
right now bring the daily flow to
100000 gallons and possibly to $780,
coo gallons. A week ago the water
was turned into the big reservoir and
the gain in the reservoir since then
has been more than two feet. 1t will
gain faster now.

WELCOME, LAS VEGAS; WE HOPE YOU LOSE!
Los ANGELES NOW
SHOWING TRUE COLORS

1t is evident that Los Angeles
intends putting over the Boulder
Canyon dam regardless of what
engineers say.
The power and water department
of the city of Los Angeles believes
that advertising will bring results
without the aid of engineers and
in a big display advertisement en-
deavors by inuendo to show that
President Coolidge favors the Boul-
der Canyon site. This is intended
to mislead readers.
President Coolidge's telegram
says in plain words he favc~s the
early development of the Colorado
river, but adds: s'These considera-
tions seem to me to dominate all
others and to point logically to the
the federal government as the
agency to undertake the construc-
tion of a great dam at Boulder
Canyon, OR SOME SUITABLE
LOCALITY OBVIOUSLY TO BE
DETERMINED UPON BY THE
BEST ENGINEERING TALENT
THAT CAN BE SECURED IN
THE NATION"
This advertisement is under the
seal of the city of Los Angeles and
shows conclusively that Los An
geles intends to bulldoze its way
rough shod over Arizona if it is
possible to do it with money, noise
and propaganda.

F. H. S. BEAT WINSLOW
HIGH SATURDAY 20

Flagstaff high football team won
from Winslow last Saturday in a
closely contested game. The final
score was TO. The game was played
in a field of mud and both teams
fumbled often. A Winslow tumble of
Runke's punt in the last quarter was
responsible for the Flagstaff score.
The game started with Winslow
kicking off to Flagstaff. A tumble
on the first play was recovered by
Winslow and they carried the ball to
within three yards of the goal before
the Flagstaff line stiffened and held
them for downs. Flagstaff kicked out
of danger and the remainder of the
first half saw the ball in the center
of the field, neither team being able
to gain much ground.
The second half was repetition of
the first, both teams using only line
bucks with an occasional forward
pass. Flagstaff completed two for a
total gain of 80 yards and Winslow
one for 20 yards. Raudebaugh inter-
cepted a Winslow pass and had COW
cred 20 yards before he was downed.
The ball exchanged hands in the CEN
ter of the field several times. With
four minutes left to play Runke
kicked ever the Winslow quarter

KANGAROO COURT"
RELIEVES MONOTONY
in OUR COUNTY JAIL

Being in Jail isn't so gloomy, if the
guys who are don't let it overwhelm
them. They don't seem to in Sheriff
John Parsons parsonage.
Most of the fellows incarcerated
there have had court experience. On
the wrong side of the bench and bar,
of course, but experience just the
same, and of the kind that makes an
impression.
The small boy whose dad whips
him, when he plays dad always whips
his imaginary children. So the boys
who get handed packages by the law
officials, themselves play law officials
and all and sundry coming within
their clutches furnish material for
much merriment and also for luxuries.
The kangaroo court" is a regular
institution at the county Jail here AS
sentences expire the personnel of the
court changes; but the court is con-
tinuing institution.
For several months Dominick
Giusti, who won't be out until Decem-
Der 18 as a result of the potency of
the refreshments at the club he and
others ran on the former L. E. John
son place east of Flagstaff, is now the
Judge. And he rules his court with
ansiron hand.
AS soon as a newcomer appears be-
hind the two heavy doors, he's served
with notice to appear in court" He
always appears. Then he's charged
with some irregularity or crime and
tried with due observance of all the
forms and conventions Of the law He
is sure to be guilty. He's fined, the
favorite sentence being 81. If he has
the money and is wise, he pays. Then
everybody has bananas, or pie, or
whatever delicacy is most desired.
On Sunday night Sheriff Parsons
and City Marshal Cooper raided a
gambling place on the south side.
There were 40 males, but only the five
active participants in the gambling
were. arrested. Early Monday morn
ing kangaroo court" convened
hours before Justice of Peace
Tom Pulliam got whack at the
prisoners-and Judge" Giusti fined

TEACHERS COLLEGE OUT
PLAYED PHOENIX AT FAIR
BUT LOST GAME lS TO Z

Costly fumbles and lack Of power
to carry the ball over at critical mo-
ments, coupled with tough breaks,
caused the dope bucket to be spilled
in Tuesdays game at the state fair,
between the Junior College Bears of
Phoenix and Flagstaff Teachers col
lege. The Bears won Is to 7.
The score, however, does not indi-
cate the strength of the Lumber
jacks. Coach Jessuppe's lads COM
pleted 26 first downs to their oppon-
ents' two. The Bears were outclassed,
outplayed and outgeneralled through
out the entire game.
The Lumberjack squad lacked CO.
ordination in their plays during the
first half However, the Bears being
unable to pierce the heavier wall of
the upstate college, were forced to
use the kick as their only offensive
threat.
Jack Wilson out-punted the Phoenix
punter from 10 to 80 yards on every
punt tried. The half ended with the
ball in Phoenix territory. Flagstaff
received the ball in the second half,
took only two minutes and ten seconds
vi dCliNc play 70 SCOiC lIiS 1AISL t1dly
of the game. Phoenix again kicked
off to the northerners. A Phoenix
player grabbed a tumble and ran the
ball to their one yard line where he
was downed after a spectacular tackle
by Heckathorn. The Bears on the
next play took the ball over. Phoenix
failed to connect for the extra point.
The next break in the fracas came
when. Wells, playing end for Phoenix,
grabbed tumble and raced IS yards
for touchdown.
In the final quarter, with only three
minutes to play. Flagstaff with the
ball on their own five-yard line
opened up with series of passes. A
Junior college Bear grabbed one out
of the air and squirmed through for
the last tally.
Phoenix at no time had the ball in
scrimmage nearer than their own 40
yard line.

ROTARIANS WISED UP TO
CANNED FOOD MYSTERIES

Rotarians and their guests left the
Tuesday meeting each loaded down
with canned fruits and vegetables,
part of the lavish display made by
Babbitt Brothers Trading Co. and the
Central Commercial Co., wholesale
grocers of this city, in celebration of
national canned foods week, which

Secretary George 7. Harrington,

BIG DINNER FOLLOWED
ANNUAL RABBIT DRIVE
BY LOCAL ODD FELLOWS

When the frost is on the sage brush
and the bunnies on the desert hop
nimbly to find unfrosted succulency,
there is sure to arise violent argument
among the Odd Fellows concerning
excellence of workmanship. Billy
Beeson, noble grand, and Ike Smith,
vice grand, saw no way out but to
prove their prowess in the field Their
loyal followers arranged themselves
as their judgment dictated, on either
side and on Sunday the issue was
settled.
Ike wasn't able to lead his men, but
his trusty second, Charles Phillips,
brought home the bacon. Now to keep
peace, Billy's side, with the assistance
Of their ladies, had to dig down and
produce the wherewithal for a fine
banquet to accompany rabbit din
ner on Thursday night. His only con-
ISOLATION was that the most skillful
archer of all, Wilbur Wellington, was
one of his retainers. The dinner, last
night, was SO good and everybody had
such a good time that there is much
fear that the question will again
arise.

DADS HEARD WHAT SONS
WANT OF THEM; FATHER
SON BANQUET WEDNESDAY

Earnestness and seriousness gov
erned the trend of the evenings pro-
gram during the father and son BAN
quet held Wednesday night in the
Federated church gymnasium. Rev.
H. F. Softley presided.
Fathers and sons, or men with
fatherless sons, were seated at long
tables at one end of the room; while
mothers and daughters, their own, or
motherless girls, invited for the oc-
casion, occupied the other portion Of
the room.
That the well-governed home, where
discipline is not apparent, but where
happiness and contentment reign, is
the very best preparation that can be
made toward conquering war or in its
elimination, seemed to be generally
voiced throughout the talks.
Harold Burnan and William Harri-
son told, what | think of my dad"
James Shirley and Morris Runke con-
Quoted a QUESTIONABLE of a dozen parts
which stated definitely, just what the
relations between dads and their boys
should be. These manly sentiments
expressed so frankly by the boys,
made the daddies realize how much is
expected of them as heroes to the
youngsters, and more desirous of liv-
ing up to their positions. There SEEM
ed to be no lack of care on their parts,
as voiced by the boys, in seeing that
their sons toed the mark
P. H. Harley briefly told why
there is nothing that | more desire
than to have the respect and good will
of the boy" Howard Marine, repre-
senting Spanish-American war veter-
ans, took for his topic, Obedience and
cooperation" in the home, business,
social relations, as a foundation for
winning wars when they come. Frank
NJ. Gold recounted critical events in
the career of Robert E. Lee Bullard
who distinguished himself in the cam
paign against Geronimo, and at the
battle of the Marine.

By the time the $4,000, gallon
reservoir is ready, and next summers
big flow from the springs begins, the
new 15-inch concrete line will pour
ice-cold water into town so fast that
there1l be water in abundance for
every conceivable purpose and all con-
ceivable purchasers.
Up to 10 years ago the lowest aver
age winter daily flow was about 80,-
900 gallons. During the last 10 year
period, following development Of adj
ditional water at the springs, the low
est daily average was 117000 gallons.
Now, with far more water developed
at the springs, and provision made in
the larger flow-line that none shall
go to waste, our lowest daily flow will
be very much more, perhaps as high
as 100000 gallons day-with peak
of between two and three million gal
Ions day in summer.
There have been rumors that the
petrolastic joints Of the new flow line
were leaking. Supervising Engineer
Walter Wilson of Burns & Mcdonnell
told city council Monday night that
there are no bad joints, and that all
such talk was unfounded bosh.
