To have felt one happy moment is
to have known happiness, and with
such a proof, it is possible to build a
whole world of faith. 1t is possible
to forget a life of sorrow in the
realization of one moments happi-
ness. A moment separates life and
death, therefore nothing can be
greater than a happy moment.

THE PIRACY OF ENVY
DR., Roy L. Smith

Envy is a contemplate thief going
stealthily through life wrecking beautiful
worlds.
Industry, frugality and love cannot build
any world that envy cannot ruin.
The blonde wants to be brunette. The
bass tries to sing tenor. The blacksmith
bids for plumbing contract. The COM
edian waits for chance to try tragedy.
A certain family in our town bought a
f1ivver and for few short months lived
in Paradise When the days work was
done the good woman of the house packed
lunch, the children were loaded into the
back seat, and the whole family went into
the woods for picnic.
Then one day neighbor bought big
car That big car ruined the fiivver Be-
cause they could not have big car that
foolish family packed up all their belong
ings, moved out of Paradise, and settled
down in gloom and misery. Picnics were
discontinued. Drives about town were no
longer interesting. Night after night they
sat in bitterness watching the big car drive
past.
One pair of silk stockings in an office will
ruin all the cotton hose. One fur coat can
throw hundred plush coats into the dis
card One trip to Europe takes the inter-
est out of dozen tours of America.
But envy is blind The envious man sees
only the advantages and privileges and
none of the burdens or costs of success.
The worker in the mill sees nothing but
the well dressed boss driving to work in a
shiny sedan. He never sees the lights
burning late at night over the desk where
the boss is trying to figure himself out of
deficit. He never sits in on the confer
ence between the boss and his banker where
men sweat blood to save businesses.
Every other mans job looks easy ito US.
The workman, far up on the scaffold, eat
ing cold corned beef and cabbage, looks
down into the fashionable hotel dining room
across the street and envies the well dress
ed man who sits at the table spread with
glittering silver and fine linen. The hotel
diner, on the other hand, looking up sadly
at the rugged worker, envies him his corn
ed beef and cabbage as he orders spinach
without salt or butter.
We would have happier world if we
hogany desks and all the bosses besides
lathes for one month. OF course, business
would be wrecked, but envy would be dead.
This would give industry and intelligence
chance to rebuild world in which every
man would sing at his work

mo man hero to his VALET did not apply
to Theodore Roosevelt. His valet writes for Col
liers Weekly about the last days of his master
as convinced hero worshipper Alone with
Roosevelt at the moment of his death, the valet
says Roosevelt's last words were, "Please put out
the light" Theodore Roosevelt was tired, his
heart was broken by the death of his son Quen-
tin. Goethe's last words were more light"
They were appropriate, for few men have con-

The English are not such awfully good
sports. Even that side of our personal nation
atty which is all English doesn't keep US from
commenting on the fact No nation of really
good sportsmen would be so jealous because an
American girl had done what English girl
has been able to do, that said nation would look
for possible fraud in the achievement. And yes
that is what England swimmers are trying to do
They are saying that Gertrude Ederle's pilot tugs
made easier her difficult task of swimming the
channel. Miss Edere promptly refutes this
statement and adds challenge to swim with any
one at any time. That's well enough for her.
But it doesn't decrease the bad taste left in the
mouth of the world by Britains trying to belit-
tie her hard earned victory. Englanders just
hate to be beaten worse than any other
people in the world, and to have America take
even an athletic honor from them is more than
their equanimity will stand. We are bit sham
ed for England in this instance.

A FISHERMAN'S PRAYER
When go out on the last long trail
Grant me a sunset sky
With it's changing flame to light my way
AS the warm west wind slips by.
Grant me the sight of distant hills,
And glimpse of the trail ahead
Through the asles of stately, towering pines
With their locking branches spread.
Grant me one lasting memory
Of the quiet lake at dawn,
With hidden inlet deep and dark, :;
Where the flashing fishes spawn
And give me beyond the massive gates
Not jewels of gold or jade,
But lakes to fish and road to tramp
And little, wooded glade!

FLAGSTAFF TEACHERS
EASILY DEFEATED GILA
COLLEGE ELEVEN 1910

Flagstaff Teachers college eleven
Scaled the Gila college Monsters
from Thatcher Saturday when the
two teams met here on McMullen
field in a spectacular game. Gila
had just defeated the Phoenix Indians
and came here confident of victory.
The first touchdown was made ear
ly in the first quarter by Hoddy
Stevens, right half, who carried the
bali around the left and over the line.
Although the Lumberjacks' aver
age weight was great deal less
than that of the Monsters, the local
boys outclassed the visitors from al
most every angle and had no diff
Guilty in making a score of 1910. Gila
had to resort to a defensive game to
keep the Lumberjacks from running
up a high score.
Gila threw away all chance for
scoring in the second quarter when
they attempted on their first down
to make a pass for a touchdown
from the 10 yard line. After this
attempt the Gila boys never were
close enough to goal to cause worry.
worry
ella resorted mostly to forward
passes to make their gains but only
completed four short passes out of
a total Of sixteen attempts. The
Lumberjacks resorted principally to
end runs and made almost every at
tempt count.
Mortenson, quarterback of the
Gila team, about to be tackled by a
Lumberjack attempted to ground the
ball by a forward pass but Detloff,
Lumberjack guard, snatched the pill
out of mid air and ran 40 yards for
the second touchdown. The Lumber
jacks kicked goal.
A pass from Wilson to Black re-
suited in the third touchdown. The
ball was carried close to the Lum-
berjacI1s' goal several timc3 during
the game but was lost on downs or
fumbles.
Considerable comment was caused
when Mortenson returned punt to
the Lumberjacks' 70-yard line on the
kickoff.
Coach E. H. (Swede) Lynch will
take the Flagstaff eleven to Phoe-
nix tomorrow to meet Phoenix Jun
ior college in what promises to be a
hot contest. The Lunberjacks, while
not overconfident, believe they will
give the Phoenix Juniors a real run
for their money.

SHERRARD BROWN MEETS
DEATH AT REDWOOD, CAL.

Bill Nichols received a telegram
today stating that Sherrard Brown
was killed instantly this morning at
Redwood, Calf, signed by the Edi-
son Power Co., for whom Brown was
working.
Deceased left here about two
months ago to accept a position with
the Edison Co. He was a brakeman
on logging trains for the Arizona
Lumber & Timber Co. and other
companies for the past ten or fif-
teen years, was about 40 years of
age. He had two brothers in San
Francisco, Roy and Earl Brown.
Sherrard was well known among the
old time lumberjacks in northern Ari-
zona and his untimely death brings
grief to many of them who loved
him as one of that great fraternity
which does not wear their hearts
where they are best seen by the pub
lie at large.
The details of how he came to his
death have not as yet been received
by friends here.

FLAGSTAFF ELECTRIC
LIGHT co. DOUBLING
ITS POWER CAPACITY

The Flagstaff Electric Light COM
pany recently placed an order for an
additional boiler which is to be in
stalled this winter. The present
boilers have combined capacity of
450 horsepower and the new one will
have capacity of $50 horsepower
This will give the company ample
boiler capacity to serve the added
generating equipment installed last
winter and will give Flagstaff GEN.
trail station capacity of 500 kilowatts.
This is double the power usually
required for town the size of Flag
staff and shows the faith the light
company has in the future of the
city. The management of the COM
pany anticipates that additional pow
er will be needed again in from three
to five years and there is room in
the present power plant building for
another boiler of the same size as
the one being installed.
When the new boiler is erected
there will be sufficient boiler capa-
city to heat "a buildings of the size
of our new hotel if the boilers were
devoted to heating purposes only, but
as the purpose of the company is pri-
marily to furnish electrical service
only a limited amount of additional
steam heating customers will be ac-
ceDted

THREE TAKEN TO STATE
PENITENTIARY THIS WEEK

James F. Mcclure and Dick Trox-
ell, who few weeks ago broke into
and robbed the shack of Jim McCann,
mayor of the southside, were up
before Judge j. E. Jones in superior
court the first of the week and both
pleaded guilty.
Troxel got year in the pen. He
is a gambler, and was arrested under
another name here few days before
the days of 40" celebration for be-
ing indiscreet enough to be present
when the officers raided a store
basement that just had been fitted
up for the devotees of chance.
MCGUIRE, who is former service
man and has tuberculosis, was al
lowed to go under suspended SEN
tence.
Loretto Costello, who had been in
trouble several times before and
whose latest exploit was robbing
southside boarding house shortly af-
ter being brought back from the
south part of the state for stealing
automobile accessories in Williams,
got one to three years in the state
pen.

FIVE AND A HALF MILES
NEW PAVING EAST DONE

Flagstaff motorists arc now en-
joying the use of 1-2 miles of as
phalt-macadam paved highway This
much Of the % miles being con-
structed east of the city under su-
pervision of the u. S. bureau of pub
lie roads last week was completed.
1t reaches from the eastern CITY linn
its to the Tuba City highway juno
ton. Work at this end of the pro-
ject will be discontinued until spring
as it is now too cold for satisfactory
pouring of the asphalt at this alti-
tude. Work at the east end at Can
yon Padre will now begin and come
this way. It is expected to finish
three miles there before winter puts
an end to construction until spring.
The remaining Is miles will be fin
ished by the middle of next summer.
E. F. Strickler, resident engineer,
says this is the only stretch of road
of this type in the west, that it has
been found in the New England
states, where they have several
thousand miles of it, to be the most
satisfactory type Of surfacing for
this climate. Recently another an
preparation has been made of the
total of S530,000 allowed for this
stretch of road. State Engineer
French Of New Mexico and H. P.
Martin of the bureau of public roads
were expected here this week, the
former to inspect the completed
stretch with view of adopting this
class of surfacing in his own state.
Flagstaff is beginning to reap the
reward for it's long suffering while
the highway has been in process of
construction. Much of the time the
road east was bad because of de-
tours. This type of road requires
several different stages of work
which take long time but give a
result well worth the waiting for,
Mr.. Stricller says.

MARIA AGAIN IN BAD

Maria Delgado, succintly described
on the local police blotters as sport"
is in trouble again. This time, after
turning her Ford car upside down
three miles out on the Williams road
and getting all bloody therefrom, she
came into town and with can op-
ener in one hand and bottle of va
nilla extract in the other started in
to clean out some of the colored po-
pulation. Under-sheriff d. L. McKin-
ney arrested her and had fine time
getting her into cell. She was not
long ago given suspended sentence
by Justice of Peace Tom Pulliam on
a drunk and disorderly charge and
this time was turned over to the care
of his son, Police Magistrate Clarence
T. Pulliiam, to devise some means of
inducing her to wipe our soil off her
feet and Aimee elsewhere.
