PIONEER PASSES AWAY

Robert Fl. Burmister, 80, pioneer
merchant and mining man of PRESCOTT
succumbed at his home in Prescott
last Saturday afternoon, following a
lingering illness.
Mr.. Burmister, who had been par
ticularly well and hearty for his
years until several months ago, was
stricken with influenza during the
winter. The attack developed into a
case of pneumonia from which he
never rallied, although he was
thought for time to be convalescent.
Mr. Burmister devoted much of his
time during his early years in Ari-
zona to his extensive mining interests
in Yavapai county, which included
some Of the most important mining
groups of TINS section of the state.
He formerly was prominently identi-
fled with commercial pursuits, coming
to Prescott in 1874 as a member Of
the firm Of L. Bashford and COM
pany. In 1886, when L. Bashford re-
tired from the firm, it became Bash
ford and Burmister and 1892 was or
ganized as a stock company with Il.

TERRITORIAL CHARTERS OF

Stockholders in banks chartered
under the territorial banking laws,
prior to the passage of the double Ii
ability law enacted Immediately after
statehood, are not liable for more
than the original investment they had
made in tn estocl1 unless they volun-
tarily came under the state laws.
Such was the decision handed down
BY Judge Albert NJ. Sames Of the Co
chise county superior court.
The decision was in the case of a.
T. Hammons, state bank examiner
and ex-officio receiver of the Citizens
Bank and Trust company vs.. E. A.

TOURIST TRAVEL NORTH
RAPIDLY INCREASING

Motor travel into the northern part
of Arizona is increasing steadily,
Judging by the business handled by
the touring bureau of the Automobile
club of Arizona.
The club receives letter inquiries
every day from residents of south
ern California who desire routing, ho-
tel and scenic information for use in
visiting Grand Canyon, Painted Des-
ert, the Hopi country, Petrified For
est, San francisco Peaks and the
many other points of scenic interest
scattered so lavishly over the great
highland plateau of northern Arizona
and southern Utah.
Manager Treadwell maintains that
this diffusion of motor tourists into
the fartherest corners of the state
is a great help to all lines of busi-
ness within the state.
That every foreign car entering
Arizona brings it's share Of business
that is finally diverted into channels
that are hard to connect with ordI-
nary conception of motor tourist busi-
ness.
Money spent by the motor tourist
with the garage, or hotel man may
soon be in hands of the orange
grower in the alt River valley, or
some poultry man or hay grower may
receive it for his produce. Manager
Treadwell says if this fact was bet
ter understood there would be no
question of the automobile receiving
the unqualified support of every
thinking citizen of Arizona.

1924, and So per cent for 1918.
The increase in the percentage Of
receipts frob business and nonbusi-
ness licenses was mainly due to in
creased receipts from the sales tax on
gasoline and from motor vehicle Ii
censes.
Receipts from business licenses
consist chiefly of taxes exacted from
insurance and other Incorporated
companies and from sales tax on gas
oline, while those from nonbusiness
licenses comprise chiefly taxes on mo-
tor vehicles and amounts paid for
huntingprivileges.

goades of the Leuppf school gave a
splendid first aid demonstration at
the assembly hall on Sunday evening.
The work was under the direction
of Miss Sarah G. Reynolds who has
conducted classes daily in Home
Care of the Sick and Injured
All classes met in a model hogan,
furnished as the usual Indian hogan
for better health should be. Here all
care Of the sick was made very prac-
teal, using the usual sheep skin
ground bed with blankets.
Modern methods were explained but
only the possible ones were advised,
taking into consideration the modes
of living these children must meet on
their return home.
All bandages and dressings were
made of old cotton cloth stripped and
rolled by the children.
The home made first aid kit with
necessary articles was made of lard
pail.
The demonstration consisted of put
ting on the various bandages using
pupils for patients.
The triangle bandage was applied
to various parts of the body. The
manv-tail and the four-tail bandage
was cleverly adjusted, also the usual
roller bandage.
Improvised stretchers were made
of two coats and broom handles also
with meal bags and blankets.
A baby bath was also well demon
strated, using doll.

WANTS OUR GOOD OFFICES
ALSO BETTER ROAD

Clemenceau, Ariz., May IT, 1926
Editor Coconino Sun,
Flagstaff, Arizona.
Dear Sir: as' Ss
There is quite crowd from the
Verde Valley and Jerome as well as
Prescott, planning to attend the
Northern Arizona field and track
meet, to be held under the auspices
of the college at Flagstaff, Saturday
the 22d inst. -
The road via Sedona Hill, Clay
Park offers the shortest and best
route to your city under ordinary
conditions, but just now the condi-
ton of this road is deplorable. The
alternative route via Ashfork is too
long and requires too much time, and
if necessary to use this route, there
will be great many who will be I'M
able to attend the meet.
The writer was up over the Sedona
Hill route Sunday, and 1t IS ROUGH,
However the hill itself is in fairly
rood shape. The balance Of the road
as far as the Lake Mary road juno
tion is so bad as to require running 6
in second practically the entire dis
tance. due to the deep ruts, holes
where cars have mired when the road
was wet. About all that the road re-
ouires to put it in good shape, is a
good dragging, this certainly would
not require more than day or two,
and involves no great expense.
Won't you please use your good
offices to aid in having this road
fixed up? Flagstaff is being visited
more and more by the people Of THIS
district, who go up over the week end
during the hot months. The writer

the Black river The three rivers be-
gin on or near Mount Badly and are

Each tent in the camp will be occu-
pied by from six to eight boys and a
chaperone.
At Roosevelt Dam where the boys
will be taken later on the trip, the
state game warden will meet the boys
and show them around.
Mrs. F. E. Talmadge is sponsor for
five of the boys who will make the
trip. Interest in the expedition is
growing each day, according to Grim
shaw, and many parents are seeking
to enlist their boy in the Westerners.

which the boys will be taught to
march properly and learn discipline.
They expect to hold parade while in
Flagstaff.
Each boy will be required to learn
to wash his own clothing while on
the trip, and every boy viii be his
own dishwasher.
Requirements laid down by Grim
shaw for each boy desiring to make
the trip are prompt attendance to
chores about the house, get at least
10 hours sleep each night, brush his
