Bow Scout Notes of Interest.

Last week brought a new expert
ence to the Scout troop of Oakland.
For the first time we lost several
Scouts at one time-all being troop
officers. These boys have gone away
to school and, of course, will be absent
from troop meetings and other troop
activities indefinitely. We are going
to miss these buddies, but we feel sure
that they will be with US at heart and
that they will carry their scout spirit
with them wherever they go. The alb
sence of Junior Assistant Scoutmaster
Ernest Townshend, Sr. Patrol Leader
Julius Renninger, Patrol Leader Carl
McIntire and Assistant P. L. Edwin
Hamill made it necessary for US to
select new officers to fill the vacancies.
Last Friday night was the occasion
of the election which was accompanied
by lots of speeches, cheering,etc. Here
are the new officers:
Mitchell Franklin. Asst. Scoutmaster
AhSSlClldlu DlhOll. .cI ASST 4f1.
Kenneth Stahl. .Sr. Asst. S. M.
Robert Stanton. Sr. Patrol Leader
Richard Stemple Eagle Patrol Leader
Bernard Gender Beaver Patrol Leader
Robert Stemple. Grow Patrol Leader
Thomas Gender. Fox Patrol Leader
After the election the new officers
were addressed by Mr.. W. W. Dawson,
who gave them some excellent advice.
A short talk by the Scoutmaster fol-
lowed and then the eats. After the
eats the new officers were given lit
tie welcome by the troop:just thump
or two on the back, after which the
troop was dismissed for the evening.
After a regular netting a short
conference of the officers was held at
which the Scoutmaster assigned the
different officers their work for the
coming year. The Scoutmaster and
all the men well acquainted with the
affairs of the troop are very much
pleased with the new lineup and are
confident that the coming year will
be one of great success in Scouting.

gems, her offerings of faithful wife,
an unselfsh, devoted mother, her gen.

unending cause of charity to offer at
the foot of the throne of her Master,

raptureous, sublime, grand "Amen."
The bereaved husband, the sorrow
full, fearful children, the many near
and distant relatives, the army of
friends arriving on every train to
gather around her casket, and in dis
may through silent tears mutely gaze
upon her dear face and breath their
secret prayer, MAY thy place be this
day in sweet peace and may thy abode
be in holy Zion. We commend thee,
dear, to the tender care of thy Maker
who called thee home"
They bear thee hence, and l can see
The passing of thy funeral train;
l may not clasp thy hand again
This side the great eternity.
And when thou gav'st thy parting kiss
| knew it was the last, and yet
Thy words seemed unto music set
So fraught wit hfaith and heavenly
bliss.
And then l wept not; that farewell
Was bright with an undying trust;
Thy brow now turning back to dust
Grew brighter when deaths shadows
fell.
Another soul has gone to heaven
To lay her cross at Jesus feet;
Her earthly work He deemed com
Another saint to Him is given.
Jerusalem, thy reaper yields
Thee golden grain and blooming
flowers
Transplanted from this vale of ours
To strew thy glimmering radiant
Farewell; farewell! thou sweetest of
flowers;
Wave softly DER her, murmuring
breeze,
Softly, softly, whispering trees
The palm is hers; the cypress ours.

CORRUPT FOES

Streator, Ill.--Enemies Of State
Representative Soderstrom have been
defeated in their attempt to steal the
primary nomination from this spokes-
man of organized labor in the Illinois
legislature. Mr.. Soderstrom led the
fight for an anti-injunction bill and
other remedial legislation in the last
legislature. His opponents asked
Circuit Court Judge Eldridge at Otta-
wa to order recount.
The judge threw the case out OF
court and denounced the manner in
which the primary was handled.
1T was gross negligence, ineffi-

the county clerk" said Judge Eldridge

With music playing, banners flying,
flowers, flowers everywhere, and vast
throngs of people stirring about, the
new home of The Peoples Building
and Loan Association, on last Thurs
day, was certainly opened in most
auspicious manner. Thousands and
thousands poured through the beauti-
full building throghout the afternoon
and hundreds, unable to get in and
becoming impatient, visited the new
home on Friday, SO that the formal
opening really covered two days. The
great number of people attending the
opening attests the popularity of the
institution and presages great future
success.
Many out of town people attended
the opening and all agree the new
home is one of the handsomest in the
state and about the last word in bank
building.

erection of the fine new home The

WINSLOW GIVEN
PRAISE THROUGH
MISTAKEN COUNT

Winslow was undeservedly given
a commendatory notice in the ATi-
zona Gazette" this week when
some mistake in transmission indi-
Gated that only five registered vot-
ers in this city failed to vote at the
general election.
According to this story 1,134
ballots were cast out of a total of
1,139 registered voters. The first
figure is correct, but registration
totaled ,439 instead of l, ,139.
Thus the laurel wreath bestowed
on Winslow for bringing out the
vote was given wrongly. However,
even the correct figures mean that
lively interest was taken in the
election, and heavy vote cast.
The official count of Navajo
county's vote gave Governor Hunt
a better grasp on his office, for
Winslow alone gave the governor
a majority of 489 votes. The cam
vass, which was made Monday, and
an official record of which ap-
pears in this edition, made no
changes in the standings in any of
the county races.

GRAND CANYON
POPULARITY IS
STILL GROWING

GRAND CANYON = Clear, dry
weather combined with the most
satisfactory road conditions SO far
this year, has resulted in unpre-
cedented auto travel to the Grand
Canyon national park since Octo-
ber 1. it was announced by G. c.
Bolton, acting superintendent.
The park record books show that
up to and including October "a, a
total of 1,94S autos had entered the
park compared to 1146 last year, an
increase of 60 per cent.
1t is interesting to note that two
thirds of the cars are west bound;
while last year at this time barely
one-half were travelling in this di-
rection. Heavy westbound travel at
this time of the year means a
heavy return travel next spring and
indications are consequently bright
for a record tourist season next
summer.
Mr.. Bolton also stated that due
to the danger of supply pipes freez-
ing, the water was turned off in the
public auto camp at park head
quarters November /, and campers
who arrived at the park after that
date had to purchase water or car
ry their own supply in with them.
1t is interesting to note that the
government furnished visiting mo-
torists with S2,562 gallons of pure
water during the past season and
60 large truck loads of wood were
hauled in for use of campers. :.
Allroads entering the park are in
good condition and also drives with
in the boundaries. The Hermit
Rim drive is open at all times of the
year and motorists entering the
park are able to view the canyon
from this great scenic highway any
day of the year, regardless of
weather conditions.

MESA FIRE INSURANCE RATES

Now that the program of inn
provements laid down by the in
surance companies as a pre-requi-
site to a % per cent reduction in
rates has been completed, the
Equitable Rating Bureau has
agreed to send engineers into Mesa
to make a survey. If all is found
to be as represented by the city
officials, the reduction will be or
dered, retroactive to about October
Is, when the new well was accept
ed from the contractors.
New water mains, fire alarm
system, more fire plugs, a new
we'll and an additional pump would
justify a lowering of rates, the
companies said. All these have
been provided out of the proceeds
of bond issue voted in May of
1925. The last item was the we'll,
which was finally finished and ac-
cepted last month.

Flagstaff Holds
Its First Annual
c. c. Exposition

Always known as a remarkably
progressive and active body, the
Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce,
fresh from having obtained the
award of a $5,00O,00O hospital for
Flagstaff, are exerting every effort
to make their new venture, Flag
staff's First Annual Exposition, a
success from every angle. This
exposition is to be held for three
days, November 18th, 18th and
18th, from noon to midnight.
According to Miss Margaret X.
Stewart, secretary of the Flagstaff
commercial body, the exposition is
largely for automobile men and
other business men to display their
merchandise and give if possible,
some exposition of how the bust
ness is conducted. The Chamber
of Commerce has been highly gra-
titled at the spirit of cooperation
that has made itself manifest from
private individuals as well as mer-
chants.
The exposition is planned to ac-
quaint the public not only with
the products of various agents,
manufacturers and local dealers,
but also with the problems that
make any business the opposite of
a sinecure, SO that a better feeling
Of understanding, and Of tolerance
and willingness to cooperate may
be engendered.
Many people from Winslow will
no doubt make it a point to visit
the neighboring city during is
first exposition, which will fur
nish many of the instructive and
amusing features of fair.
