Mrs. v. NJ. Slipher gave an espe-
cially interesting talk on the visit She

the British isles, including large cities
in England and Scotland, an excursion
into Wales, trips to historic localities
and buildings, cathedrals, the houses
of parliament and long-built habita-
tions of royalty, as well as the uni

WIN. BEESON BUYS FIVE
HOUSES OF MRS. GAVIN
AND WILL BUILD MORE

County Assessor Billy Beeson
bought of Mrs. Mary Gavin of Albu-
querque last week during the latter's
brief visit here the property she has
long owned in the southwest part of
town, on which there now are five
dwellings and on part of which he
plans very soon building several cot
tages for rental.
The property includes three lots
with four residences just beyond Mrs.
Fred earrings home on Milton road
with frontage ON the paving of
nearly $50 feet and all of block No.
121, north of Sitgreaves street, on
which there is fine cut malpais
stone house which was built by Mrs.
Gavin and in which she lived for some
time.
Mr.. Beeson has faith in Flagstaff
and in the constantly increasing de-
mand here for homes and whatever
building he does will be of value to
the city in helping relieve the present
house shortage.

PIPE LINE TRUCK FELL
200 FEET AND BURNED
DRIVER JUMPING FREE

The first serious accident to occur
to truck working on the new springs
to reservoir pipeline happened few
days ago. The truck singled out for
destruction CHANGED to be the same
four-ton monster that few days
previous had slipped into the ditch and
pinned a man against the bank.
The truck belonged to Contractor
Menchew of Brawley, who has the
pipe hauling contract for Harry Tell
yer, who made the concrete pipe and
is laying it, Richards, who was pilot
at the time of the first accident, was
driving up with four tons-about 100
feet-of the 15-inch pipe when the top
leaf in spring broke, locking his
steering gear. Over the bank went
the truck, Richards safely jumping to
the road The truck landed about 200
feet below the road, at once caught
fire and burned.

If ART HAD LINCERED
In COMM TO THE RYE!

Deputy She--if Art Vandevier,
driving west of Flagstaff on Sunday
with his weather eye peeled and his
best nostril elevated to catch any
suspicious odors that might be float
ing down on the wind, saw some men
driving out from the woods.
Just what starts Art setting up one
and trying to find another one to put
with it to make two, is part of his
own secret formula and he doesn't
divulge it. But someway or other he
deduced that the men he saw made
one, and next day he drove out to get
something to add to it.
About mile and half northeast of
Riordan he found it. 1t was on an
old deserted ranch. It was boozery,
or hoochery, modern and efficient. A
fine big copper still and a hundred
pounds of rye mash, with coloring
matter all handy About the biggest
outfit captured this year. He brought
it to county Jail. Just who owned it
is a mystery, as far as anything Art
is telling is concerned; but maybe
he'll bring the owners in, too, little
later.

JEROME ELEVEN WON
SATURDAY 10 TO 7

Coach Preston's Flagstaff high
school eleven, outweighed lot by the
Jerome high school boys, nevertheless
put up a snappy, spirited game at Nc
Mullen field Saturday afternoon, as a
curtain raiser for the Flagstaff
Teachers college Prescott collegiates
game.
The Jerome boys won, 10 to 7. OPP
poftunity to run the score the other
way was presented a couple of times
but muffs prevented fulGllment. The
scoring was early in the game. The
local boys showed lot of speed and
every man with one possible excep-
tion fought for all he was worth But
for that exception, Flagstaff likely
would have been the winner.
Charlie Prochnow and Fred Mack
ard were lost to the locals by injur-
les that may prevent their playing for
some time. Prochnow's injury was to
his back. Nackard's injury was to
his shoulder and he's carrying an arm
tied up.

SAVE OLD IRONSIDES"
WEEK BEGINS NOV. /!

Flagstaff school children are writ
ing essays on "Old Ironsides" and
will participate in the drive spon-
sored by President Coolidge and the
navy department and conducted by
the Elks lodges of the nation to raise
funds to preserve that historic fight
ing boat.
The second week in November-be-
ginning November 9-has been set for
the drive in this county, the work over
all of which is under the jurisdiction
of the local Elks lodge. Exalted
Ruler Frank Harrison, Secretary Tom

WILDS HAVE PECULIAR
EFFECT ON TAME ARTISTS

Ferdinand Burgdorff and Ira Rem
sen, the artists, came in from Grand
Canyon Monday, where they had been
alternating for the past month gath
ering up scenery on canvas.
Mrs. Remsen paid them a short visit
while they were at the Canyon. She
was stupified to find the atrocious
change this wild country had wrought
in her erstwhile tame husband His
usually fairly respectable face was
handicapped with a growth of seaweed
that would have done credit to a
berserker at his best. 1t even took the
family dog two days before he quit
growing at Ira and made friends
again.
Mrs. Ira went on to New York.
leaving the dog, believing Ira would
be safe from contact with any hui
mans, but wild animals might desire
to get cosy with him if he did not
have protection.
Artists Burgdorff and Remsen left
Monday for a trip through Oak Creek
canyon with J. C. Brown and Carl
Mayhem, expecting to go on from
there to Phoenix and the southern
loUte home to California.

THREE MAY BE TOTAL DEATH TOLL
FROM AUTO ACCIDENT WEDNESDAY
NIGHT NEAR BEL LEM0NT; ONE DEAD


Emelio Cuevas was 35 years old. He
was field manager of Dannie Camp
BELLS outfit and fine, responsible
man. He came here 16 years ago for
Colin Campbell but for the last several
years had been in Dannie Campbell's
employ. He was married here in
Flagstaff eight years ago to Marie
Miguel Of Flagstaff and besides the
widow and his brother, Manuel, also
resident here, there are three little
children-EEcia, Il; Manuela, 5, and
Emelio, one and half years old. The
funeral will be today and the remains
will be inferred in the Catholic ceme-
terry.
Ruiz came here about two months
ago from California and was working
for Dannie Campbell Cacho came
oEly few weeks ago from the same
state. He is a laborer and was work
ing OH the new addition to the court
house. Neither is married and both
are young men.
1t was Ruiz who about two months
ago, driving a car belonging to an
other man, nearly ran into Mrs.
D. L. McKinney's car east of Flag
staff and turned his car over.

HIRAMS ARE TOLD ABOUT
FORESTRY AND FARMING
LADIES GUESTS TONIGHT

G.. A. Pearson was chairman of the
day at the Hiram club meeting last
Friday noon and put on a program
that was of unusual interest and very
instructive to the large number of
members and guests present.
Mr.. Pearson built his program
around the study which is nearest his
heart, that of tree and plant growth
and propagation He had K X Hen
ness, the new county farm agent, tell
about his work. Mr.. Henness made
very interesting talk. He told of
the efforts being made to ascertain
the field crops best suited to this sec
tion, how new kinds of grasses for
pasture and hay were being tried out
and also truck crops which can be
grown here successfully
S. Ehrenborg, a forester for the
Swedish government, who is in the
United States studying our forestry
methods, described the means en-
ployed by his people in caring for
their timber and how they conducted
their logging operations, as well as
The general methods of farming and
dairying.
Mrs. A. L. Douglass furnished the
musical part Of the program, a piano
solo.
OF more than usual interest were
the talks of DR.. w. P. Taylor and f.
E. Horn, two United States biological
experts who are spending some time
in this section studying the damage
being done our forests and crops by
rodents of various kinds; and also
methods to be employed in combating
them. These gentlement are making
a special study of the porcupine,
squirrel and prairie dog and had on
exhibition cage of squirrels and a
porcupine they recently captured.
This evening the club will celebrate
its quarterly ladies' day with a dim
ner at Gas, followed by musical
program, dancing and cards. Alex
Johnston has charge of the affair.
Dick Bate will be chairman a week
from today.

SKEELS WANTS MORMON
LAKE ROAD SURFACED

Alfred Skeels, chairman of county
supervisors, has asked County Engi-
neer Wright to prospect for conven-
lent surfacing material for the Nor
mon Lake road Mr.. Skeels believes
good material can be found convenient
and the thing to do is to put some
trucks on surfacing the road, begin
ming. first with the worst places.
Building new road from Lake Mary
to Mormon Lake would cost a great
deal Of money, he says, and it would
be long time before this county
could afford it. In the meantime, he
believes, something should be at once
done to put the road in a passable
condition during wet weather in sum-
mer.
While the time hasn't come to af-
ford a boulevard, Mr.. Skeels feels
that few thousand dollars judicious-
ly spent on surfacing, with no extra
expense for widening or relocating the
road, would be well spent. He believes
that we have in the past been too
much in the habit of tearing up and
relocating roads whenever road i'm
proyement was decided on, rather than
hard surfacing the existing road.

verely injured and he died the next
afternoon.
Ira Dougherty of the White garage
went out after the car, which, while
badly battered up, canobe repaired.
Reports yesterday afternoon were
that Ruiz is not likely to live, but
that Cacho, while in very bad shape,
may pull through. Cecin was taken
on the morning following the accident
to the Victor Gomez home, which he
conducts as boarding house. While
in great pain and likely to have to re-
main in bed for several days, his in
juries consist only of a broken shoul-
der bone and body bruises.
Cuevas and Cacho both received
fractured skulls. Ruiz may have to
go under a trephining operation. A
large quantity of spinal fluid and
blood was removed from his head on
Wednesday night His side lower
left side was punctured by something
that penetrated to a depth of several
inches, making hole that was large
and jagged at the surface.
The. four men were planning to
leave next day for Utah.

CREDIT ASSOCIATION
TO HAVE BRANCH HERE

C.. w. Harkins is here this week
with two assistants organizing a
local branch Of the United Creditors
association, Of which some of our
leading business men have been mem
bers for several years.
A credit organization has long
been a vital need here, and numerous
futile attempts have been made in the
past to organize one. But the ex-
pense of handling the office end of it
made the dues so high that the at
tempts fell through. Probably it is
just as well that they did, as it not
only costs the local merchant much
less to become a member of the local
branch of the national association, but
affiliation with the latter puts at its
disposal service and equipment that
would not be available if acting in
dependently.
The United Creditors association is
really international in scope. With its
own big office buildings in Los An
geles and several other cities, it has
branches in practically every county
in the United States and in every for
eign country. So that the debtor
never gets beyond the reach of the
long arm of the association, no mat
ter where he may go nor how often
he may move. So with people moving
here. The association has on file in
its central offices the name of every
adult in the United States and lists of
any amounts he may owe in towns he
has lived in. That information ar
rives in Flagstaff when he does.
When he applies for credit he gets it
only if entitled to it on his record.

FLAGSTAFF TEACHERS TOO
MUCH FOR COLLECIATES
OF PRESCOTT SATURDAY

Displaying much improved team
work the Flagstaff college Lumber
jacks triumphed over the Prescott
Collegiates to the tune of 51-0 last
Saturday. The score however does
not do justice to the Prescott aggre-
cation, as they put up good and at
times brilliant fight.
The Teachers opened up in the first
quarter, scoring a touchdown in four
minutes and two more before the
quarter ended Prescott frightened
in the second quarter, allowing but
one touchdown.
The third quarter was scofeless,
but in the fourth the Lumberjacks
opened up again, scoring four touch
downs.
Although the team was easily vic
torious it was a costly victory, Hoddy
Stevens and Harold Poe receiving in
juries which may keep them on the
sidelines in the big Tempe game to-
morrow, while several others received
minor injuries Turk Way, diminu-
tive quarter, was on the injured list
and did not play at all, keeping Rush
ing, injured fullback, company on the
bench
Should the jinx leave the Lumber
jacks, Tempe will find herself facing
one of the strongest teams in Arizona.
With the regulars in shape, the line
is nearly as heavy as Tempe's, while
the baclfield gang measures uD to
Tempe, man for man. Though the
reserves are not as heavy as the regu-
ars, they make it up in fight, so that
Tempe need not expect an easy game.
Coach Preston and Philip McVey
Of Flagstaff high, Charley Fillerup of
Emerson and Danny Deaver of Teach
ers college, officiated in most pleas
ng and satisfactory manner to all
concerned.

ONLY ESQ INSTEAD OF
NECESSARY 5000 DEER
KILLED In THE KAIBAB

Up to and including the goth of this
month only $50 deer had been killed
during the present open season in the
Kaibab game preserve in this county
north of Grand Canyon. The forestry
officials and others interested in thin
ming this great herd of deer down to
a number that can properly be sup
ported on the scanty winter range
are much disappointed.
Many hunters who had planned
going to the Kaibab until Governor
Hunt decreed that only one instead Of
three deer could be shot by each,
changed their minds The trip is too
hard and expensive to take for only
one deer, they felt. The result is that
probably not more than fourth as
many men have hunted there as would
have been the case had the original
plan been followed, which would have
meant the killing of three or four
thousand deer instead of only $50.
Manley Thompson, assistant solicit
tor for u. S. forest district No. 4, in
which the Kaibab is located, and R. e.
Gerry, assistant district forester, both
from Ogden, Utah, arrived in Flag
staff on Monday.
These gentlemen say that nrac-
tically all of the deer are now down
off the high summer range, driven by
snow to the lower winter ranges on
the east and west sides. The great
est danger to the deer from starva-
tion they report, is on the west side,
where there are more deer and much
poorer range. Some of the deer re-
Gently shot were in pitiable condi-
tion, they say.
The state game department still has
three deputy game wardens in the
Kaibab, watching to see that no hun
ter gets more than the allotted one
pair of antlers. These deputies,
Messrs, Thompson and Gerry report,
are convinced now that they have had
full opportunity to see conditions as
they actually are, that strenuous eff
forts should be at once made to thin
the deer out. The estimate made by
the foresters of the number that
should be killed is 5000.

BILLY SWTTZER RALLIES
NICELY FROM OPERATION

w. H. Switzer, who went to Los
Angeles week before last, was twice
operated on there and reports as to
his condition are very encouraging.
While the operation was of a serious
nature, the patient rallied in fine
shape and advices are that he should
be back home in about a month in
very much better health than before
in many months. His fellow-towns-
men all hope he'll do even better than
that and be back on the job in much
less time.
The second operation was on Mon
day, at st. Vincent's hospital, and a
telegram received by BilPs family
here from his brother, Al Switzer of
Los Angeles, on Monday, said: Sec
