LAKE FISHING LAW VIO-
LATORS IN MOTOR BOAT

Jack Fuss, deputy game warden of
Flagstaff, received orders from State
Game Warden Willard to use motor
boat on Monrmon lake to round up
fishermen without licenses. Hereto
fore Jack has experienced some diff
Guilty in catching up with law break
ers. The lake is so large that it was
next to impossible to cover all the ter
ritory during day.
Jack reports that very few fisher
men are trying to get by without a
license. Arizona sportsmen are, as a
rule, very good about paying their
fishing and hunting license fees.
Sportsmen realize the good derived
from money expended on licenses. The
money is used in stocking streams
and lakes with game fish, and turkey
and antelope are distributed through
out the state. All game animals and
birds are protected during closed sea-
son. Migratory birds are protected
in accordance with our treaty with
Canada. All kinds of animal life, for
which the west is noted, are looked
after. 1t is the only guarantee we
have to keep some of our game ami
mails from going the route of the
American buffalo.

ORPHEUM STOCK COMPANY
GIVING PLAY TONIGHT

Orpheum stock company, entirely
made up of Flagstaff people, will give
its first play tonight at Orpheum
theater. 1t is entitled "The Delayed
Honeymoon" and is three-act COM
edy full of sparkling fun.
The players have been working
hard for weeks on this play, their eff
forts handicapped greatly most of the
time by work several of them had to
do preliminary to and during the 40
celebration.
If this play is we'll received and the
attendance and interest taken seems
to invite it, other plays will be put on
in rapid succession, each carefully se-
lected with the view to giving Flag
staff people good clean entertainment.
There is no desire on the part of
the players to take money from this
work. If they can break even on ex-
penses, that is all they ask.
Cast and program of the play to-
night are given in the advertisement
on the last page of this Sun.

BOY SCOUTS OFF NEXT
WEEK ON GYPSY TRIP

Elks' Boy Scout troop No. 3 have
the honor of supplying Flagstaff's
quota on the gypsy hike to California
which starts next Thursday. Bill Har-
rison and John Thomas are the two
Flagstaff boys chosen. Il
Fourteen ranking scouts of Grand
Canyon council will enjoy three
weeks trip through California as a
reward for good work in scouting
The executive board Of the council
highly approved this trip because Of
its educational and personal value.
Every scout who had attained rank of
first-class or better was sent a pre-
liminary application. Most of the
scouts who were chosen worked and
saved their money so that they could
pay their own way on the trip. Bill
and John only need couple of merit
badges to reach the rank Of eagle
scout and probably will both be eagle
scouts when they reach home.
This is the second annual hike. It's
itinerary is noteworthy. The scouts
will follow the Old Trails highway to
Barstow and then cut over to Bakers

WEATHER LIARS TRY TO
MAKE IT HOT FOR FLAG

There seems TO be an epidemic
of weather report liars" working
with the idea of putting Flagstaff
out of business as a summer re-
sort. The latest woeful weather
prevaricatOr seems to hold a job
with the United Press, and from
Denver he wires the Magea Tri-
bune at Albuquerque as follows:
'"The hottest place recorded was
at Flagstaff, Arlz., where the Their

was for Sunday, July 12).
Flagstaff is several thousand
feet higher in the mountains than
Denver, where this overheated boy
says the thermometer broke the
records at so.
The official record at Flagstaff
on that day was 81, the highest
and Sd the lowest.
Flagstaff has always rated as
the first or second coolest place in
the United States and the hottest
known record here is 80 degrees.
Since misqu0ting FlagstafPs S sum-
mer weather is becoming a regu.
lar habit with these m;sfit report

R. C. STEVENSON IS new
HEAD WILLIAMS SCHOOLS

Robert e. Stevenson, one of the best
known members of the faculty of
Flagstaff State Teachers college, has
been appointed superintendent of the
schools of Williams and, it is believed,
will accept the position. A big recep-
ton is being planned by Williams
folks to be given Mr.. and Mrs. Steven
son tomorrow.
Mr.. Stevenson succeeds t. F. Cure
ton, who has successfully admins
tered the Williams schools for several
years. His work will be especially in
teresting during the next few months,
during which the new Williams high
school will be built.
Mr.. Stevenson, since 1904, has had
wide and successful experience as
an educator, both as rural and city
schools teacher, in the latter as prin-
cipaI and superintendent, and in the
local Normal school, with which he
his work has been important and we'll
handled.
Mr.. Stevenson received his Alb. de-
gree and then his degree in law from
Wisconsin state university, following
which he practiced law in Montana. He
also has a degree in accountancy and
has only a little more work to do in
getting an Am. degree. His school
experience carried him in turn to De-
catur, ILL.,, Butte and Whitehall, Mon
tana and then to Jerome, this state,
where he was superintendent of
schools, coming from there here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stevenson and their
two daughters will be welcome addi-
tion to Williams social life. Mrs.
Stevenson has taken prominent so
cial part here and is chairman of the
Music section of the Woman's club.
Their many Flagstaff friends, though
regretting to lose this fine family, aye
glad they're not going farther away.

increase in automobile travel to this
section.
Dr.. Mackey talked on the duties of
the Rotary committee on public af-
fairs, of which he is chairman, stress
ing the points that it is distinctly
against Rotary principles for the club
to participate in any civic movements
that come within the natural scope of
the chamber of commerce.; but it is
the bounden duty Of every Rotarian
to be an active member of the cham
Der of commerce and helpful in every
way possible in making his community
a better place to live in.

story of man who walked up to a

paper on it. The bartender read it.

RIFLE CLUB RESULTS

Flagstaff sharpshooters turned out
in goodly numbers Sunday at the new
rifle range in City park. Clear skies
and ideal weather helped put over
some pretty good scores. All the
shooting was at 200 yards on 8-inch
bullseye. The scores were: Vandeahe,
80x10O; Ray Lescaille, 38x50; John
Babbitt, 65x100; Pat Moran, 16x100;
Walter Bennett, 95x150; Winfield
Beard, 96x150; Herb Babbitt, 51x100,
Charles Isham, 25x50; Pete Solberg,
34x50; Jones, 48x100; Marshall,
29x50; Davis, 33x50; Charles Gillian,
35x50.
Any new shooters wishing to try
their skill are cordially invited to
come out next Sunday to the City
park range. The government is spon-
soring the club, making the cost of
shooting very reasonable.

JUDGE JURY
AND PRISONER
DRANK TOGETHER

Jeff Nelson, whose whiskers are
natural and long enjoyed, and who
first came here in '83, which some
what qualities him as a pioneer,
had a lot of fun and gave lot to
others in the Pot Of Gold gambling
den and saloon with the old-time
songs he sang.
Jeff recalls the first jury trial he
ever saw in Flagstaff. 1t was in
Oldtown, which then comprised all
there was of Flagstaff. A gambler
had shot and killed another gam
bier.
As soon as the jury was seated,
one of the jurymen drew big bot
tie of likker out of his bootleg and
after gurgling down sizeable
swig, passed the bottle on. After
two or three had taken theirs, the
Judge, who with alarm had been
noting how fast the amber fluid
was going, rasped out. well ad-
journ this court right here, so we
all can get drink
But what about the prisoner 2"
one of the jurymen wanted to
know.
"Well," another juryman said.
why can't he have drink, too 2"
So they repaired to nearby bar,
where they all had two or three,
then came back and reopened court.
The prisoner was found guilty of
self-defense and acquitted, Jeff
says.
