out ways of improving things as / go
along. Some one of our tourists tried
this on our captain, and, it being Sun
day the captain very pieously told him
to go to hell. He might have given a
similar explanation on any other day
of the week, but since the captain
has to read the services on the ship
every Sunday, / thought his repartee
was most apropos and snappy.
This part of the country was the
most popular place in the world, af-
ter the Spanish Main, in years agone
for old time hair-raising writer's of
fiction to locate their stories in.
There are some several thousand
islands scattered about, some too
small to get on the map, consequently
pirates could hide out among them
and swoop down on innocent ships and
maidens, swarming over the ships
rail with big knives in their large
white teeth, looking quite peevish and
quarrelsome. Oh, you've read about
it.
From contact with these soot-col-
ored people on land, | am convinced
that when veracity was first invented
they never got any of the seed, con-
sequently it is very much scarcer
down here than radium, and they do
not know what that is.

capability and responsibility there is
no question. He has had experience
in that line of work and is a thor
oughly sincere and energetic chap,
hkeable and clear thinking.
Mr.. Miller came here from Kansas
with his family more than two years

He recently suggested and helped or
ganize the new Flagstaff Rifle club
and was elected its secretary.

The regular meeting day is Tues
day, but on that day, out of respect
to the memory of Rotarian L. E. Car
ron, following a brief memorial serv-
ice the meeting was adjourned until
the next day.
The other officers elected with
President Fronske for the ensuing
year were: Del Strong, vice-presi-
dent; George T. Harrington, secre-
tary; w. H. Switzer and DIR. A. j.
Mackey, members of the board Of di-
rectors, the other members of which,
automatically, are the officers of the
club and the retiring president. The
election was the last thing on the
program. Voting was by ballot, the
tellers being Joe p. Wilson and Fred
S. Breen. In the choice of members
of the board it was necessary to take
three ballots, Mr.. Switzer being elect
ed on the first, and Dr., Mackey on
the last.
President Wilson called the meeting
to order He welcomed back Ed Mil
ler, convalescing from an operation
recently performed in Pasadena; Fred
Breen, convalescing from trip
around the world, and George I. Her
rington, who had been in Kansas for
several weeks, called there by the i'll
ness and subsequent death of his
father.
Del Strong was chairman for the
day. Three special songs, composed
by |. B. Koch, helped illumine the
way. One was the opening song, an
other was an adjunct to Mr.. Koch's
witty address of welcome home to
Fred Breen, in which he accused him
of sending his baggage home ahead
because he was ashamed to meet 1t
face to face; also reading among
other things a telegram purporting ta
be from Governor Hunt with Siamese
Fluctuations.

ON in LOS ANGELES;
RECOVERING NICELY

Jimmie Lewis of the Breen-Lewis
Drug Co., was operated on at West
lake hospital, Los Angeles, by DR..
Moore on Wednesday forenoon for
appendicitis. Latest reports are that
he is getting along very nicely with
an early recovery indicated.
Mr.. Lewis left here Monday night.
He had suffered for several days, a
recurrence of chronic appendicitis,
and lefttto consult specialists to learn
whether an operation was necessary.
He was advised that it would be dam
gerous to delay.
At Wednesdays Rotary meeting
Secretary Frank Chisholm was au-
thorized to wire some posies to the
patient to let him know his fellow
members are pulling for him to get
out and away from there and back on
his job in a reasonable length of
time.

Rotary PIN Mr. Wilson acknowledged
the gift briefly and gracefully.
Dr.. A. j. Mackey had lot of fun
at the expense of his fellow members,
improvising notices fitting their var
ious business activities Then he in
troduced to the club Dayton Draine,
newly elected baby member.
g. A. Pearson gave an interesting
talk on forest conservation, filled
with facts of interest to Flagstaff
people. This win be printed in a
later issue of The Sun.
Resolutions of regret at the death
of MIR. Carron and including con-
dolences to his family were read by
Mr. Wilson. They had been prepared
by Messrs. Koch, Mackey and Breen.
DR.. Fronske, the new president,
closed the meeting, after appointing
Tom Bellwood, the peppy song-leader,
to be chairman next Tuesday.
The few who escaped contributing
to the fine box toted around by Ser
geant at Arms Bill Cady were few

tion in the club, and his successor, DR..
Fronske, may be counted upon to give
this work his best care, which means
it will be ably done.

Mr. Miller, who is a brother of
Forest Supervisor, Ed G. Miller of this
city, began his new work this morn
ing, his office in the T. E. Pollock
Investment Co. office in the former
Citizens bank building.
This move is one that had been un-
der contemplation for two or three
years. 1t has long been felt by busi-
ness men here that they should or
ganize and maintain a bureau under
the charge of "a paid secretary to in
stal and operate an interchange of
facts regarding local credits and
credit risks, but the plan had never
been fully worked out. Likewise, it
had long been felt that Flagstaff
should have a chamber of commerce
secretary giving all or good part of
his time to answering the flood of in
quiries from people contemplating
locating here and to handle the other
numerous details connected with the
work of the organization.
The matter has finally been acted
upon in a way that should prove
highly satisfactory to all concerned
While neither organization could well
afford a paid secretary, competent to
do the work, sharing the expense has
made it comparatively easy for both.
Mr.. Miller can handle both ends of his
new job, as far as the time it will

ELMER JACKSON AND MISS.
BERNADINE SWELL.
WERE MARRIED SUNDAY

A wedding of general interest in
Flagstaff was that of Miss Berna-
dine Cresswell, youngest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. r. C. Cresswell of
Winslow, and Elmer Jackson, only
son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. d. Jackson OF
Flagstaff, which was solemnized at
the home of the parents of the groom,
Mr.. and Mrs. J. d. Jackson, Sunday
at 2 D. m. in the presence of relatives
and a few friends. The ring cere-
mony was performed by Rev. James
w. Saunders. Miss Georgialee Cof-
fee was bridesmaid and Guy Longley
best man.
The bride wore pretty gown of
grey crepe and carried bouquet Of
pink roses and gypsophilia. A course
wedding dinner was served after
which the happy couple left by motor
for few days honeymoon in Pres
colt and Phoenix.

LOOKS LIKE ARIZONA
WILL HAVE LONG CLOSED
SEASON ON HUNTING

Few people realize that there is a
very good chance that all hunting of
any kind of game for which seasons
are fixed in the present state game
law may be prohibited, beginning this
fall, until after the next session of
the state legislature, which probably
will not be before January, 1927.
The last legislature, because of the
widespread conviction that the pres
ent game code is inadequate and
faulty, provided for its reference to
the people for repeal. 1t had been
enacted by the people, thus any
change or its repeal must be by their
initiative upon ballot. If there is a
special election this coming Septem-
ber, as it is believed there will be,
very likely the initiative will be on
that ballot If not, then it will be on
the ballot at the next general election,
in November, 1926.
The recent act of the legislature
calling for initiative specifies that if
the people by their vote repeal the
law, the season shall be closed until
new game code is adopted by the
state legislature. Therefore, if the
present code is repealed at special
election this fall, there will be no
more deer, dove, turkey nor duck
hunting nor any trout fishing allowed
until the Legislature enacts new law;
and if there is no special session next
year, the closed season will last until
some time in 1927.
In the event that the initiative is
not voted on until the 1926 general
election, then, of course, the closed
season will be more than a year
shorter.

MANY SORROW In THE
DEATH OF [. E. CARRON

In the death on Friday night of Lee
Carron, Flagstaff lost one of its fin
est and most valuable citizens.
The shock to his family and many
friends was lessened somewhat by the
knowledge from the first that the
fight made to save him might be un-
availing; though hope grew stronger
a week or so preceding his death.
But during the last several days be-
fore the end came it was known that
only by miracle could he survive
and that if he did he likely would re-
main an invalid.
But the sadness occasioned by Lees
death was not lessened by reconcilia-
tion to it. The hundreds who at first
steadfastly refused to give up hope
were grief-stricken when they heard
death finally had conquered
Mr.. Carron had suffered with stom-
ach trouble for several years. This
became more pronounced during the
latter part of the winter. When it
was decided that an operation was
necessary, Mrs. Carron had fore
boding that he would not survive
the ordeal He, however, prepared
for it without apparent worry, calm
and confident.
The operation, for appendicitis, was
performed at Mercy hospital. Flag

HIRAMS HEAR ABOUT
FOREST HIGHWAYS

Members of the Hiram club en-
joyed the honor at Fridays meeting
of listening to an extended talk by
F. C. w. Pooler, district forest super
visor, who went to some length in
describing the workings of the var
ious funds available to the construc-
tion of roads and trails in the national
forests. His talk was entertaining
and instructive and brought forth a
number of questions on various angles
of the question.
Judge F. w. Perkins was chairman
of the day and made a short talk. He
informed the club that Mr.. Pooler was
member of the local Masonic lodge
and Mr. Pooler amplified the state
ment by saying that he felt more at
home in Flagstaff than in any other
town in the southwest.
A number of vocal and instrument
tai numbers by Mrs. A. G. Pearson
and Mrs. viii Compton were enjoyed.

TWO FINED FOR FISHING
WITHOUT LICENSE; WARNING

Two $40 fines and the request that
they buy fishing licenses were doled
out by Police Judge Sheffield Monday
to a California tourist and towns
man for carelessness in failing to pro-
cure permits before trying for the big
game fish at Lake Mary on Sunday.
Game Warden Jack Fuss wishes to
save feelings and pocketbooks of local
sportsmen, so takes this occasion TO
call notice to what will happen to any
one neglecting the preliminaries.
Ignorance of the law excuses no one
and it is necessary that all fishermen
and fisherwomen have licenses as well
as all children of II or older. Those
younger than II, when accompanied
by their parents, do not require a
license.
