M'NARY'S PRIDE JUST
AHEAD OF BIG FALL

At McNary they have ball team
that has trimmed every other team it
has gone up against Most of its OPP
ponents have been Indian teams, per-
haps not entirely made up of big
league material; nevertheless, those
McNary fans, men and women, boys
and girls, are fondly obsessed with
the idea that their team can beat
anything else on earth-even Flag
staff.
Superintendent Fred E. Pipes Of
the Flagst IF Lumber company, in
McNary the other day, unwarily let
it out that he had an idea team
from this mill could show the Nc
Nary bunch up as sawdust stuffed
babies. At once tens and fives were
thrust under his nose from every
direction, and it was put up or shut
up.
Fred doesn't say much, but this
time he wouldn't shut up. So Sunday
he takes bunch of his babies down
to show those McNary thugs they
amt no good a-tall The game will be
Sunday afternoon at 2:30 at Holbrook
and if Flagstaff wins, the bank in
McNary will have to close it's doors.
Funny how people get that way.
Anyhow, McNaryites will have an op-
portunity for once this year to see a
real ball team in action, for those
lumber-pilers, sawyers and filers
Fred is taking down are naturak
born ball-players, every one. Maybe
they haven't had much experience,
and possibly some Of them don't know
baseball from nose-bag; but
but each and everyone thinks he can
play ball, and if confidence has any
effect on the outcome McNary's
busted town right now.
The local fellers wouldn't be so
grim and determined, only the Nc
Nary traducers got out handbills adj
vertising the game in which they
start off this away:

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
TO BE OBSERVED HERE

With a proclamation from the
president Of the United States con-
corning national fire prevention week
as October 3 to 9Th, all chambers OF
commerce in the country are making
definite effort to place before the
people of their respective communl-
ties the Importance of the strict OBJ
servance Of this week.
It is felt that not enough attention
is paid to the matter of fire prevent
ion by people as a whole and with
this in mind, the chief executive has
set aside this week in order that the
people may have an opportunity OF
considering it.
Flagstaff chamber Of commerce
has entered the field as interested
in this program and as a. result, has
received much information on this
subject from the National Fire
Waste Council
An appeal is therefore made to the
people Of Flagstaff to make care
full and Conscientious inspection of
their homes with the following
thoughts in mind:
Have waste paper that might
cause a fire?
rs the wiring in my house in good
condition?
Is the chimney in good repair?
There are many and varied phases
of this fire situation that should be
taken into consideration and this
connection the city fire department
should be consulted. Our fire depart
ment has shown unusual efficiency
and courage in handling fires and is
equally well informed concerning
means of fire prevention.
An interesting program on fire
prevention will be conducted in the
city schools during the national fire
prevention week.

FLAGSTAFF GIRL AMONG
WARNING MEXICAN YAQUIS

From the center of the Yaqui up
rising comes letter from Miss Eu-
nice Burman to her father, Rev. John
Burman, giving reasons why there
should be no cause for alarm. But
when she tells how the company hos
pital has been turned over to the
government as a military unit with
a hundred wounded and dead brought
in in one day, certain degree of un-
easiness is excusable. Empalne,
where Miss Eunice is teaching chill
dren of American railway employees,
is but a few miles from the import
ant gulf port of Guaymos. 1t is also
on the gulf shore and but scant 30
minutes would be required to reach
one of the two gunboats which Uncle
Sam has stationed in the port The
protection of the port of Guaymos
and the neighboring settlement of
Empalme is left to the care Of 1900
government soldiers.
Miss Eunice's trip from the border
to Ernpalme was far from ordinary,
in fact it was replete with uncertain
ty. The American consul at Nogal-
es advised her not to make the trip
at all, but the Mexican authorities
assured her that the government had
the situation well in hand, though it
was but a few days before that ex-
president 0bregon had been taken
from the train and held for several
hours by the militant Indians. A
military convoy accompanied the
train which halted during the night
and the trip was actually uneventful
in spite of the attendant excitement.
Miss Eunice, who had set her mind
on beginning her school term last
Monday morning, did SO and writes
that she is happy and unafraid.

JAMES ]. DELANEY RURIED
in FLAGSTAFF WEDNESDAY

James Joseph Delaney died Sun
day morning at 10 o'clock at the
residence Of his sister, Mrs. Mamie
I. Griffin, after several weeks i'll
ness following a partial paralytic
stroke. Though in poor health s5<ice
coming to Flagstaff 10 years ago he
at all times exhibited a remarkable
patience, sunny disposition and an
unfailing optimism which were of
great comfort to his sister and their
many friends.
The funeral took place Wednesday
morning at 9 o'clock from Flagstaff
Undertaking parlors. At church Of
Nativity requiem high mass was
said. There were many beautiful
floral offerings. More than 20 cars
followed the funeral cortege to the
Catholic cemetery where a touching
sermon was delivered at the grave
by Rev FIR Albuoy. Pail bearers
were Edwin Babbitt, G. W. jake, T.
A. Rickel, Col Harry Enbach, e. f.
McGonigle and Balzar Hook.
James Joseph Delaney was born in
Baltimore, Md, January 18, 1873, the
Oldest son of James J. and Mary
1dfney Delaney. w men ne was
small child the family moved OF Chi
cago where James spent his boyhood
except when he was away attending
school. He received his education at
St. Mary's college in Kansas, at Cir
asdeau, Mo-, and at Our Lady of the
Angels seminary at Niagara Falls,
N. Y. He took commercial courses
which fitted him to be associate to
his father, who was one Of the pio-
neers of the wholesale packing in
dustry of Chicago. He never married.
On account Of failing health about
10 years ago he joined his sister IN
Flagstaff. The change proved bene-
ficial and the two years, which east
ern doctors had allowed him extend
ed far beyond their expectations.
Since coming here he had never
been in the best of health and the
slight stroke which he had September
10 proved to be more than his de-
pleted strength could stand and he
never recovered. He was q dcvout
member of the Catholic church. But
two members of his family are left
to grieve his passing his sister, Mrs.
Mamie t. Griffin Of Flagstaff and
Mrs. Estelle NJ. Hamilton of Chica-
go.

SENATOR CAMERON SPOKE
HERE FLAGSTAFF MONDAY

United States Senator Ralph H.
Cameron spoke Monday night at the
courthouse, Flagstaff, there being
more than a hundred people in the
audience.
He called attention to his work in
congress for Arizona-the San Car
los dam project, appropriation for
the veterans hospital at Tucson, ap-
preparations for the Laguna dam
people, waving of the cattle graz
ing fees, etc. He characterized the
syndicate attempt to develop a for
eign copper industry as un-American
and told of his intention to protect
and bring about greater development
of American copper by means OF a
pound import tax on for
eign copper.
Cameron called attention to his
long familiarity with the Colorado
river and its problems. He said the
Santa Fe river pact never Will be
endorsed by Arizona, and that, II It
is, when it comes up in congress he'll
see that it's defeated there. He said
Glen Canyon is the logical place to
build the first Colorado river dam,
and that when dam is built, it will
be built there.
In touching upon public land and
grazing questions, Cameron said the
trouble with our government is that
there is too much rule by bureaus.
Senator Cameron came to Flag
staff Monday afternoon by automo-
bile from Phoenix, where that fore
noon he spoke at the meeting of the
republican state central committee.

NEW BOX WAREHOUSE OF
F. /. co. is NEARLY DONE

The big box shook warehouse to
replace the four recently burned at
the Flagstaff Lumber Co, plant win
be completed within two or three
weeks. II is of frame, with galyan-
lied roof, and is so 100 feet, 16
feet from floor to caves and so feet
to cone. An electrical elevator viii
be installed so that shook may be
piled clear to the roof, so that while
there is much less floor space in the
building than in the four it replaces,
it will hold nearly as much shook.
1t is located 200 feet from the saw
mill, which is 10 feet farther away
than the old sheds This cuts fire
risk. Instead of by tramway the
shook will be carried on chain con-
veyor from the saws to the ware
house, where one man will stack them
into the warehouse or into freight
cars. The conveyor does away with
three men in handling the shook.
Employees of the company are do
ing the building.

Washington.-Th department of
justice has approved the immediate
parole of Don Chain, coal operators
gun man and former sheriff of Logan
county, w. Va. He was convicted in
1924 for violation of the prohibition
act. He was sheriff of Logan county
at the time and while attempting to
smash the Miners Union, he engaged
as a side line in the manufacture and
distribution of "moonshine" He was
sentenced to two years in the federal

Lou Nau Missed
And lest we forget. A familiar
face at all the Labor Day celebra-
tions in many past year and one sadly
missed last Monday, was that of Lou
Nau, who is still confined at Mercy
hospital with broken leg, the re-
suit of fall seventeen weeks ago.
Everywhere on the grounds could be
heard the inquiries "How's Nau get
ting on what do you hear Of
LOU" 1--WE sure miss Lou Nau around
here today" etc. Lou was missed and
it was no fault of his that he was
absent Monday. While regretting he
couldn't be there, he takes matters
cheerfully and promises to make up
for his absence this year when the
next celebration rolls around. Here's
hopin'.
We might add also that the little
tots of the Children's Home were also
present as guests through the gen.
erosity of the Milk and Ice Cream
Drivers Unions, who furnished the
trucks for hauling the tots back and
forth and also furnished them with
ice cream. To say the little ones
enjoyed the treat is putting it
mildly.

JUSTICE COSTS TOO
MUCH

New York-Justice in our courts
costs too much, says H. H. Nord.
linger, lawyer fo this city, writing
in the American Bar Association
Journal
"If the law is to give remedy for
every wrong" says the lawyer, "it
should give an adequate remedy fol
the wrong of compelling a man to hire
a lawyer, collect evidence and go to
court to establish the right. To allow
really adequate costs to the prevail
ing party would not increase the cost
of justice-it would allocate it, so far
as possible, to the guilty instead OF
the innocent party"

BEHIND TIMES
Are u. S. Vessel Owners
Says Benson

gton.-There appears to be
rift in the claim that "high" wages;
of seamen is the reason American YES
sci owners can not compete with
other nations.
Admiral w. S. Benson, member of
the United States shipping board
does not accept this theory, which is
urged in season and out of season by
those who profess to know what they
are talking about.
The seamen have repeatedly pointed
out that their wages is small item
in ship operation, but this is ignored
by the wise men.
Admiral Benson is now quoted as
saying that American shippers are
behind the times, and that if they
would compete with European ship
ping they must discard the steam en-
gine and install up-to-date Diesel
motor engines. Motor power saves
one-thlrd on fuel and permits more
cargo space by eliminating boilers.
The maritime interests of Germany
Great Britain, Norway, Sweden and
Italy have ordered whole fleets of yes
sells with Diesel engines.
To encourage the installation of this
engine in American ships, Admiral
Benson explains that shipping board
vessels are being sold to private own
ers that they can equip the ships with
motors without cost to themselves.
Some of these ships have been practi-
cally given to private owners at a
cost of from SIS to SIS ton
'Unless American shipping adopts
engines, it may as we'll go
out of business" said the naval officer.
