miles from shore, was dashed by the
gale and drifted rapidly out.
Other boaters perceiving the
plight of Harrington and his COM
panions, came to their aid and the
three were takep off and their boa.
According to a woman who said
over the telephone that she was
maid in the Harrington home, Mr..
Tarkington's burns were not severe.

Harry Thirkell of this place, and a
Miss Trotter of Philadelphia. Mr..
Harrington has been summering
here as has been his custom for

Canada Expects
Big Crop Staples

Winnipeg, Manitoba, July o.
Unless unforeseen events take place.
there should be a good all-round crop
in Western Canada this year accord
ing to the latest report emanating
from the offices of the Canadian
Pacific Railway Grain is making
good progress and is fast overcoming
the rather slow growth of some of
the cool days in June. Hay crops will
be fair to good. Pastures are coming
up in good shape. A great deal of
new breaking is being done and due
to satisfactory moisture conditions
the land is turning over better than
it has for several seasons. Summer
following is well advanced. Labor for
present needs seems to be fairly
plentiful but If present indications
of heavy crop are realized much
additional help will be required dur
ing harvest.

FORMER MCHAVE COUNTY
OPERATION SAID MISSING

4 San Francisco dispatch of April
II reports the disappearance Of
Joseph Churchill Todd Woodworth,
who is alleged to have had a large
sln of money on his person at the
time Of dropping from sight. It was
said in the telegram that a group of
New York capitalists was waiting for
him aboard a yacht in southern waters
to accompany them to Peru, where he
was to make an examination of q
mining property.
Woodworth, it will be remembered
was an operator of the Copper Giant
mine, some years ago, Senator Cam
eron being interested in the deal He
also had options on the Walkover
mines few years ago, but was un-
able to go through with the financing.
During the war he and son were in
the Canadians, and he claims to have
been wounded in the many encounters
with the enemy on the French front.
He was at Goldffeld during the boom
days and is said to have made a great
deal of money, but this was dissi-
pated within a short time.--Kingman

We modestly called attention to the

mark that this spring has been one
Of the most delightful in the history
of Flagstaff. For two months We
have had occasional showers of more
or less duration such as are tradition
al for April in more favored sections.
Forests are carpeted with green and
the parks are lush with meadow
grass. Down every wash flows a
sparkling little brook. River de Flag
is running strong with clear noun
tam water.
Farmers are jubilant over the out
look for their crops. Eugene Bur-
rus, successful Doney Park rancher,
says bumper crops are assured this
summer even though not another
drop of water falls, that already the
ground has stored sufficient moisture
to produce fine crops. A few farm
ers have their summer planting done
but many are waiting until the latter
part of the month for general plant

but took this generous action to help

there is no obligation Of any kind on
the company to take the action indi-
Gated by the letter sent to employees
and that the payments referred to
are an absolute gift from the United
Verde to its EMPLOYEES.
When General Manager rally was

as an evidence Of it's sympathy for

In spite of her vigorous protests,
Miss Regina Wetzeler received what
is reported to be a most just Cub
bingp at the hands Of her dormitory
friends last Saturday evening. The
charge preferred against the young
woman was gross and undue catfish
ness, 1t is not necessary in eases of
this, kind to prove the charge and SO
the tub was prepared Immediately
with F'Isgstaff'si famous cold water.
Everything favored the Morton
'tubbers' on this occasion. Mrs.
Startznan took her departure fer
Williams early il the afternoon.
There were plenty of eXecutioners
present due to the rainy weather out
side The light switches were locked
up in the matyon's room, so that it
was useless TO go to bed. TO cap
it all the sport was forbidden.
Miss Wetzeler has another regular
wetting coming as she was so indis-
erect as to drop this remark to Mrs.
Startzman the next morning: My
head don't ache any more after the
tubing last night" This led to in
vestigation and threats of dire con-
sequences if the incident occurred
again. These threats were directed
against the tuhbers by Mrs. Start2-
man and against Regina by the tub
bers, who wish Mrs. Startzman would
90 to Williams again soon.
