RECALLING MEMORIES OF A.
FRIEND---FRANK WATTRON

The Holbrook Tribune in digging
back into the files of the old Holbrook
Argus of 20 years ago, reprints the
notice of the death of Frank J.. Watt
ron, early day sheriff and probate
Judge of Navajo county. The article
was undoubtedly written by L. ID.
Divelbess, then editor of The Argus,
now sheriff of Navajo county. Evi-
IDENTIFY Editor Divelbess loved Frank
much as we did, for he says of him:
In the decease Of Frank j. Wattron,
Navajo county lost citizen of whom
it was we'll proud. His sterling worth
as man, his business integrity, his
big heart, endeared him to all who
knew him, and we of Navajo county
mourn him as man and brother.
On enterprise demanding charity,
no INDECENT nor unfortunate ever ask
ed more than once for assistance from
Frank J. Wattron. His heart was as
free as his hand and the numberless
good acts of charity performed by him
rebound to his honest liberal charac-
ter. Rugged, ultra intelligent, capa-
BILE, earnest and kind, he shone as a
jewel among US.
His friends are all who knew him,
who came in touch with him and not
to be reckoned with as enforcing the
mandates of law and order and he
thus converted them to his way of
thinking.
Through the many offices that he
held and so capably filled, he posed
the soul of courtesy, and honest capa-
BILE endeavor.
Poor Wattron is dead, but his mem
ory lives and will be among US. We
may well miss the kind word, the hon
est bluff handclasp and friendly
greeting that were part and parcel of
the man but the recollections of him
and his character are stamped in
delibly in our being and not to be eff
faced or modified by time.
His sudden and untimely death has
shocked the community and nothing
but words Of commisseration and awe
are heard. 1t is hard for any of us
to realize that his familiar face is
gone, but we hope and trust that he
has ere this received his golden re-
ward.
In community of intelligent men,
in a land where mans word is even
better than bond, his loss saddens
us and any words we might use are
inadequate to describe the feeling that
is in our hearts.
We deplore his death, sad, sudden
and shockingly untimely as it seemed,
and can today but revere his memory.
We extend our sincere sympathy to
the sorrowing family.
Francis j. Wattron was born in
Gasconade county, Mo-, February Is,
1861, and at the age of II years went
to Kansas, remaining in that state un-
til 1877. For six years he travelled in
Colorado, New Mexico and Mexico, re-
siding in each of those sections for
some time. In 1874 he came to Hol-
brook and entered into partnership
with DIR. T. P. Robinson, conducting a
drugstore for six years, at the end Of
which time Mr.. Wattron purchased
the doc-interest, and continued in the
business until the time of his death.
He was twice elected to the sheriff's
office and served three years as pro-

CANYON CASE RESET OCT.
II BY THE REGISTRAR

PhoeniX-Directed by a telegram
from the secretary Of the interior,
Registrar L. L. Ferrall of the Phoenix
land office has reset from August 10
till October IL case of several years
standing against Ralph H. Cameron,
now senator from Arizona, and a num-
Der of associates.
The action refers to % placer claims
Of 100 acres each, located by Cameron
in the black granite gorge of the
Grand Canyon, above Bright Angel
trail and claimed to be valuable for
platinum.
Location was made before the crea-
ton of the Grand Canyon national
park and hence the government claims
no trespass, as in the case of 55
claims along Bright Angel trail and
and many more in the Black and
Boulder canyon reservoir sites, all To-
Gated by interests said to have been
connected with Cameron.
The national government is attack
ing the upper placer locations on the
ground that expert sampling has fail
ed to find any platinum and that the
ground is not valuable for mineral
content, this being a matter for de-
termination in the land office aid not
in the courts, save on appeal. Fhe
land office is informed that annual
assessment work has been done on the
claims in the black granite gorge.
Senator Cameron is reported to
have been a late visitor to the presi-
dent, protesting against alleged gov
ernmental persecution with regard to
his Grand Canyon interests. He and
Senator Ashurst, ,as a subcommittee
Of investigation, have submitted re-
port criticising the management Of
the Grand Canyon national park, espe-
cially in the building of the new Yaaui
trail. Cameron was active in block
ing a proposed sale to the government
Of the Bright Angel trail.

WOOD CAMPAIGN FAILURE

Colonel William Cooper Proctor

So declares Senator George H.

who was treasurer of the COM

he signed only as an officer of the

EFFICIENCY RATINGS
TO BE ON ANNUAL BASIS

Efficiency ratings by the Person
mel classification Board hereafter
probably will be made on an annual
instead of a semi-annuaI basis, as
is the present practice.
The proposed revision has been
under consideration for several
months, and probably will be put
into effect after the next ratings
November Is. The chief reason for
the change is to do away with the
unrest and instability among the
personnel of Government workers
when the ratings are being made
Furthermore, promotions indicated
by the November ratings cannot be
put into effect in any event until
the new appropriation bills go into
effect the following July.

REWARD FOR COURTESY
AT DE MARIS SPRINGS

The DeMariss Springs company has
instituted what, in its character, is
something of a new departure in
contests. and has for its purpose
the r~ejuvenating of what is almost
a lost art with the young people of
today. 1t is a Courtesy contest
and to the young man or girl who
visits the Springs during the next
twelve months. and who so conducts
himself or herself in a manner to
win h greatest recognition for
courtesy. will receive a cash prize
of five dollars. A second prize of
three dollars and a third prize of
W dollars will also be given in
this contest. At a recent meeting
of the Springs company. Buster
Larson was voted the most cour-
teous young fellow to visit the
springs during the past year, and
the need for a more respectful and
courteous mean on the part of the
young folks who make merry at
h Springs has induced the man.
agement to make even better prizes
for the ensuing year.
Chas. DeMaris, president and
manager of the Springs
states that it is incomprehensible,
the department of the young folks,
both girls and boys, who visit the
Springs. In SO many instances they
show no respect whatever for the
property rights of the company, and
conduct themselves about the insti-
tuition in a way which makes them
very popular with the management.
Every effort is being made to
popularize the Springs. Many i'm
provements are being made each
year for the comfort and owen
fence of the hundreds of guests
who visit there, and it is hoped that
the courtesy contest" will act as
a means of impressing upon the
young folks especially, the fact thai
a fine line of department and good
conduct will get them a better and
more cheerful service at this resort,
