MISS BARBARA RICKEL
BRIDE OF MORRIS GEMMELL

Miss Barbara Rickel and Morris
Gemmell were married at the brides
home at 8 o'clock. Monday morning in
the presence of immediate relatives,
Rev. FIR. Albouy performing the cere-
mony. Miss Louise RiclSel was brides
maid and Lewis Moore of Hayden was
best man.
The bride wore travelling ensemble
suit. Following the services a wed
ding breakfast was served to the we'd
ding party: Mr.. and Mrs. T. A. Rickel,
Miss Maggie Rickel and Miss Louise
Rickel, sisters of the bride, Mr.. and
Mrs. Joe Rickel, George Hanley and
William Rickel. Mr.. and Mrs. Gem
nell left on the afternoon train to

BIRDSEYE IMMIGRATION
MAN FOR COUNTY; FUNDS.
FOR CHAMBERS COMMERCE.

Following a request made on Mon
day of the county supervisors by sew
eral members of Flagstaff chamber of
commerce, the supervisors decided to
again have county immigration
agent, the regular salary of $500 a
year, the appointee to be the secretary
of Flagstaff chamber of commerce.,
Roger Birdseye. This additional
amount tackled on to his salary will
make it nearer half what his work
really is worth to the city and the
county at large, for he Isl doing lot
of constructive work for which he has
been paid mostly in appreciation.
The office of county immigration
commissioner was abolished several
years ago following the death of Fred
Allen, who had held it for some time.
At the same time the supervisors
appropriated S2500, to be divided
equally and placed at the disposal Of
the Flagstaff and the Williams cham
bers of. commerce.
This is in line with recommends
tions recently made by President
Spillsbury of the Arizona Industrial
congress, who advised that the best
and surest way of decreasing the tax
rate in this state is to increase the
taxable wealth by getting more peo-
pie and more industries into the state
1t is also in line with the recent
awakening of the Los Angeles cham
Der of commerce to the importance of
Arizona's raw products and trade to
Los Angeles future growth. Los
Angeles has appropriated $25, 900
with which to nationally advertise
Arizona as evidence of good faith in
the recently launched get-together
in which it is hoped to in
crease business in both states and
especially business between the two
states.

HOPI SNAKE DANCE
WEDNESDAY, AUG. 10

Earlier than before in many
years is the date set for the Hopi
snake dance. Announcement *
made that it will be Wednesday,
August 10, at Polacca, one of the
villages in the Hopi pueblo group
Polacca is about 20 miles east Of
Oraibi.
Harry Supla, chief snake priest
Of the Hopis, may change the date.
Usually announcement does not
come from him as early as it has
this year, and often he changes his
mind, He's a tempermental old
fellow. Last year and the year be-
fore changes were made in the
dates first announced.
The snake dance is to pfopitiate
the rain gods and in reality is
prayer for rain. During the last
few days the Hopis have been hav-
ing lot of rain, it is reported.
Maybe Chief Supla believes the
earlier storms indicate some espe-
cial favor and the ceremonies this
year will be as much in thanks
giving as in petition.
There are nine days ceremonies;
but the elimination in the buffalo
dance on the eighth day and the
weird snake dance itself on the
ninth day is all that spectators
nay see.
There are two snake dances each
year. The second one, however, is
never announced until about the
date of the first one, and then
only in a casual way, SO is not
largely attended. The first and
principal dance always draws spec
tators from ali over the United
States and often from across the
oceans. This year will be no ex-
ception. Inquiries already are
pouring in from far distant places
from people who want to know
when the famous ceremonial viii
come off.
Polacca is 125 miles from Flag
staff-the logical place 10 start
from. The roads are safe and the
trip can easily be made in six to
seven hours.

DR.. Hendrick came here last year.
He has built up a large general prac-
tice here in addition to his regular
work. He is highly qualified and
both he and his family will be greatly
missed here, where they have made
many friends. He is one of the most
enthusiastic members of Flagstaff
Gun club and says it will be only a
little while before he has one orzan-
lied at McNary. The change is a
promotion. He succeeds DR.. Phillips,
who came to McNary from Louisiana
more than year ago and who is re-
turning there.
DR.. Flett has a large general prac-
tice here which he has built up by sue
cessful treatment of cases and it may
be that this additional work will make
it necessary for him to curtail his pri-
vate practice to some extent. He is
a member of city council, chairman Of
the park committee, and his many
friends will be happy over his good

There was some vegetable matter in
the latter and it was deemed safer to
make sure against any epidemic,
though the chlorine might and did
make the water taste salty. But there
will be little or no chlorine taste from

FLAGSTAFF TOO MUCH FOR

Last Sunday the local ball club took
Williams into camp to the tune of 8-4.
Tolson was on the mound and Mullen
caught for Flagstaff. Ramirez hurl

The outstanding feature Of the game
was the two home runs and a single

out doubt that he is no has-been
The drives of Brownie brought in four
runs and were largely responsible fo1
the easy win. Seems good to see the
old blind, crippled former star catcher
back in the game.
Baseball dope was upset Sunday in
the Northern Arizona league when
Clarkdale went into first place by de-
feating Jerome. Flagstaff is now in
third place and should Clarkdale drop
her game Sunday and Flagstaff win
over Jerome, we viii only be half a
game behind, with excellent prospects
of winning the pennant.

W. H. SWITZER TO MOVE
DRUGS TO RICHARDSON
STORE NEAR new DEPOT.

Billy Switzer has leased the store
room at the corner of Leroux street
and Railroad avenue owned by Mrs.
Marie Hensing and now occupied by
Dick Richardson's rug and curio store,
has started putting in new shelving
and by the fifteenth of this month ex-
poets to have his drug store moved
there and ready to do business.
The final details of leasing were
finished on Tuesday. Mr.. Switzer will
name the new store the Depot Drug
Store. Perhaps not this summer, but
soon, he will install soda fountain.
He will continue the hardware and
saddlery store in its present location
on San Francisco street. Making this
move with the drug store, and adding
refreshment and other lines especially
suitable to tourist trade, Mr. Switzer
viii no doubt greatly increase his
gross business by the change.

NO SICKNESS FROM
OUR CITY WATER

The belief some have and the ru-
mors that our city water has been
causing lot of sickness during the
last few weeks have no foundation
whatever. | know of no instance
of illness in which there were in
dications that the city water had
anything to do with it; and | have
talked on the subject with three
other physicians of Flagstaff who
say they know of no such instance.
Last summer and other summers
there have been eases of bowel
trouble during the warmer weather
Neither then nor now, did Flag
staff water cause or help to cause
it.
Many people are using drinking
water from Oldtown spring. Per-
sonally | would not drink that
water unless it were boiled, and
would rather not drink it then. It
is likely to be contaminated, as
some of the drainage from resi-
dences, yards and outhouses sur
rounding probably finds its way
into that water
About a month ago, Miss Jane
Rider, state chemist, made an
analysis of our city water. She re-
ported there was nothing wrong
with it. She was here a few days
ago and in company with the city
engineer, Frank Goodman, and my
self, visited the reservoir and said
she could see nothing that should
have any bad effect on the purity
of the water. She agreed to loan
US a chlorinating equipment to use
in case of necessity in purifying
any surface water we may later
have to take into the reservoir. The
recent chlorinating up to few
days ago was done without the use
of this equipment, which merely
makes it easier to chlorinate than
is possible without it.
Close watch is being kept on our
water, all precautions taken, and
the public may rest assured that no
water will come to them from the
city mains that is in any way dam
gerous to health.

Andrew Carnegie library fund, when
here some time ago visiting DR.. v. NJ.
Slipher, Earl Slipher, and. Dr. C. O.
Lampland of Lowell observatory, men,
toned Flagstaff as a good prospect
for one of the Libraries and advised
that application be made. 1t was
through Mr.. Pritchett's influence that
DR.. Percival Lowell located Lowell
observatory in Flagstaff.
In order to get money for library
from the Carnegie fund, it must be
shown that a suitable site has been
acquired, free of debt, and the city
must guarantee an annual appropria-
tion for maintenance amounting to 10
per cent of the amount received from
the Carnegie foundation. Also, the
plans for the building must meet the
of the directors of the Car
negie foundation. However, a book
large number of plans
may be secured from the foundation
at nominal sum, and the adoption of
