PAT TOLD OF CHAMBER
JIMMIE OF new HOTEL
AT TUESDAYS ROTARY

Male Pilkington, chairman for the
day, had a fine program at Tues
days Rotary meeting, P. j. Moran,
president Flagstaff Chamber of
Commerce and Jimmie Hamilton,
manager of the new Hotel Monte
Vista, being the speakers.
! Miss Selma Aas and Tom Bell
wood sang Come Sing to Me-" and
the encore number, "Love's Old
Sweet Song," was sung by Miss Aas,
Miss Myers at the piano. The
clever Meyer twin lassies did grace
full dance number, Mrs. Felice Gar
cia accompanying. Ed Babbitt led
the bunch singing "Let's All Get To-
gether," conducting like Sousa, and
Tom Bellwood piloted them through
'My Old Kentucky Home"
Pats talk on the Chamber of
Commerce accomplishments will be
printed in an early issue of The Sun.
1t was that good.
Jimmie's talk was so good an epi-
tome of it will have to be given right
now. He comes from a family of ho-
tel men, his dad and three brothers
being in that business. There was ri
valry between him and a younger
brother as to which should come here
and Jimmie worked hard to get here.
He has been in the hotel business for
25 years, in every capacity, but for
many of the latter years as manager.
He comes here from Riverside, Calf,
where for nine years he had been
running one of the Hamilton chain
hotels. While Riverside is one of the
prettiest cities in southern California
he preferred coming here to stay, as
he likes this climate better.
''The Monte Vista will make money
for you and for u.s." he said. "If we
didn't think it would we wouldn't be
in it." The Monte Vista, because it is
brand new and SO well constructed
and furnished, while not so large as
some hotels he has. managed, is the
best of them all. He said he has been
told it is the best in this state and
while he doesn't know all the other
hotels in this state, he is rather in
clined to believe it is the best.
Local people will be able to get
rates in the Monte Vista for the win
ter months, as he believes it is bet
ter to have as many rooms occupied
as possible.
''This hotel is so beautiful" he said
"and so far ahead of anything in this
country that / think we will have all
the business we can care for"
He said that Mrs. Hamilton will
be at the hotel all the time and will
try to make the women guests feel
at home. He congratulated Clark
Granting on the splendid work he
and his men had done in building the
hotel and so rapidly.
Guests: Miss Aas, Miss Myers, Mrs.
Garcia, the Misses Meyer, Mr.. Ham
ilton and Clark Granting.

LOGAN CHASED LION UP
TREE; LION CHASED HIM
DOWN:AGAIN; LOGAN WON

"What would you do if you was 40
foot up a tree and limbs as big as
your arm and chunks of snow was
a fallin' in your face and a mountain
lion was comm like hell from above
and yowlin' like the devil?" OFT Lo-
gan asked.
And OFT answered his question. Il
jes' fell out'n that tree" he said, "the
whole 40 feet"
OFT and his son-in-law, Ralph
Rhodes had nearly "a hours steady
work tracking, roping and bringing
back to town the huge cat they got
Monday on Anderson Mesa. 1t was
the second within a week, roped so
that Thomas Griffith, here from Hol-
lywood, could photograph them. Miss
Rose Seeler, his assistant, is here
with him.
The cat they got last week, down
near Maine, was roped without trou-
bic and jerked out of the tree the
dogs had> put him into. Miss Seeler
when they had him well trussed up,
grabbed him by leg, after which,
they took pictures of him.
But the one Monday was a differ
ent matter, altogether, Mawruss! He
was a fighter from away back!
Griffith and Miss Seeler had gone
out on the reservation, and OFT and
Ralph, with Otis big auto truck and
four hounds, started off to get Grit
fifth a lion. Near the turmoil from
the main highway east to Turkey
Tanks at eight in the morning, they
spotted tracks crossing the road to
the south. They accepted the chal-
lenge and followed them to the Walnut
Canyon east of the Cliff Dwellings,
across the canyon and up on to An
derson Mesa, where in a few mo-
ments, about noon, the dogs had the
cat up tree.
Up after the cat went OFT. With
the brute so feet in air from a dis
tance a dozen feet below OFT swung
his rope. 1t went partly around the
lions head. Big limbs began to drop,
and the cat, screaming and striking
and biting at the rope began to come
down fast. Right then OFT let go all
holds and dropped to the snow cush-
ion at the base of the tree, breaking
off q lot of tree limbs as he fell
The cat came down too, and shot
up into another tree. Another throw
of the rope another catch in it's
mouth by the cat. The second moose
was cut by the brute's teeth. This
happened twice again.
The dogs treed the cat the fifth
time. This time the moose settled
fair over the cats neck. He was
jerked to the ground. But he tore
around SO viciously, the eager dogs
closing in, that OFT ordered Ralph to
let go the rope, fearing some of the
dogs would be killed. Back the cat
went into the tree, crouching on one
of the lower limbs, one rear foot
hanging down. OFT got half-hitch
around that foot. They soon had
him down again and carefully tied
the rear feet together, then the front
feet, then drew all four together,
with his head close to them. Then, a
man at either end of the trussed-up
cat, they slid down the canyon bank,
where they found pole and, running
it between his legs, carried him on
their shoulders across and up the far
bank of the canyon. OFT walked sew

startled by brilliant flash of @

EIGHT SUSPENDED, TWO
PERMANENTLY, COLLEGE

Six men students at Flagstaff
Teachers college were on Monday
suspended for the balance of this
quarter, losing their credits, and two
were expelled. Though included
among them were several who were
of great value to college athletics, it
was felt that the action taken was
for the good of the school, and that
to be more lenient, or to overlook
the matter entirely would not be fair
to the great majority of the student
body who are doing their best to Gre
ate an atmosphere which is favorable
to scholarship and the social well-be-
ing of the school.
Some of the students suspended al
ready have acknowledged that they
did wrong and say that they will re-
turn at the beginning of the next
quarter with the intention of making
good.
It is the policy and hope of the
present administration of the college
to keep irregularities of every kind
at minimum, and it is believed the
action in this case will have whole
some influence in that direction.
President Grady Gammage Of the
college refers to the above matter
in the following letter which he
mailed this week to The parents of
all of the students:
"For some time | have thought Of
sending you a letter. | wish it were
possible for me to become personally
acquainted with the parents of each
student in our college. This is OBJ
viously impossible. So, in an effort
to touch hands and hearts with you
in common task, / am sending this
message.
81 am keenly conscious of the re-
sponsibility that is committed to us
when young people come here or are
sent here by their parents. This is a
great task and a great and inspir-
ing opportunity. To adequately per-
form the task and meet the oppor-
tunity requires understanding among
all parties interested. For the good
Of the young people who are here
there should be spirit of mutual
good will and helpfulness existing
between parents and the authorities
of the college.

Likely Won't Be
City Toll Road

That Flagstaff has right to es-
tablish toll road up the peaks pro-
vidfng it is not within mile of any
other toll road was the opinion given
city council Monday night by City
Attorney F. w. Perkins.
This was in connection with the
proposition being considered by
to make the springs to reservoir
flow-line road a toll road Judge Perk-
ms said that two per cent of gross
income and so per cent of the net
profits would have to be paid out
by the city, the latter to the state
school fund, and considering the La
bility the city might incur from pos
sible accidents on the road, it is like
ly council will decide not to throw
the road open to the public.

FRED PIPES TO M'NARY
MAYFLOWER SUCCEEDS TO
SUPERINTENDENT F.L.CO.

Coils S. Mayflower has been pro-
NOTED to the superintendency of the
Flagstaff Lumber Co., beginning Jan
uary 1, and Fred E. Pipes, whom he
succeeds has been promoted to the
superintendency of the Cady Lumber
corporation mill at McNary. The first
named company, as local people all
know, is branch of the Cady Lum-
Der corporation.
Mr.. Pipes is in McNary this week
change, and Mr.. Mayflower refused
to discuss the matter, saying that he
preferred to refer all questions con-
cerning it to Mr.. Pipes.
But it is known that the promo
tions have been made, and that Mr.
Pipes has been in McNary frequently
lately getting better acquainted with
the work there.
Both promotions are we'll deserved
all know who know the two men and
their work Mr.. Pipes came here
three years ago from Louisiana with
w. M. Cady Jr., when the latter's
father made him gneral manager Of
the latter company. He is a fiend
for hard work and knows the game.
He knows how to get logs made into
lumber at a minimum cost and will
be invaluable to the big McNary
plant.
Mr.. Mayflower has been saw-filer
for the Flagstaff Lumber Co. for
good many years and is the kind of
chap who keeps his eyes open, thinks,
and absorbs knowledge from much
wider range than circumscribed by
the details of his one department. He
is keen business man also, and may
be depended upon to give good ac-
count of himself in his new job.
