In the previous parts of his adj
dress, Senator Cameron told of his
arrival at Flagstaff as a poor young
man and reviewed his hardships AS
a scout and a prospector in the wild
Grand canyon country. He told of
the stalking out of his mining claims
there and of the building, with

soldier, of the first railroad from
williams to the canyon. He then
went into the Santa Fe railroads

the Bright Angel trail which he had
built to bring ore from out of the
canyon. At this point the senator
reviews the Irwin account of his;
activities in the canyon and brands
it a "black, damnable lie." AS a
result of the oppression, in order
to protect his associates, he relin-
quished his equities to them.

curtain to show Stephen T. Mather,

TurneSn and Hats.

Joe Turnesa, who lost the national
open title to Bobby Jones by one
stroke, will always hate straw hats.
Freak happenings often decide big
sporting events. Joe can blame a
tramp straw hat for the loss of the
title and incidentally about $4,000.
That is the value leading profess
sionals place on the winning of the
national open honors
Now for the tale of the costly straw
hat. AS Joe set himself to play a
brassie shot to the home green, the
straw hat of a spectator standing
close by, blew off and dropped near
to Turnesa with a dull thud. With
out doubt it upset him. for he
topped the shot and took an unde-
served five.
That one slip was the margin by
which Jones won the title. 1t cost
the former Italian caddie snug for

cially from his victory, Turnesa,

matches, would have been able to
feather his nest for life.
