DIDN'T WORK FOR sun

A. Burke, veteran crossing police
man, says that he sure had insult add
ed to injury recently and that he gets
more peeved the longer he ponders
about it between trains. 1t is bad
enough to be left holding the sack
when a good looking young fellow,
falsely claiming to be employed by
The Coconino Sun, leaves town with
ont paying his board bill. But when
he received a telegram-collect too
asking him to wire the sender S25 he
sure did refuse to take from the Of
flee. He looked like a right nice sort
Of chap but he sure did show lack
Of understanding when he sent that
telegram. The man was named Lam-
bert. After being turned down in his
application to The Sun for a job, he
got several meals on the strength Of
Representations that he had the job.

SICKNESS MUCH LESS
THAN LAST WINTER

Though there is a general epidemic
of bad colds, many of which may be
influenza, absences at city schools are
way below. those of last year at this
time. The peak this week was reach
ed when 68 pupils were missing from
Emerson, 4 favorable comparison
against last years high mark Of 1870
at one time. This seasons total is
made up by the quarantining Of whole
families when but one member has
whooping cough, measles or chicken
pox.
Several teachers from city schools
have been on the casualty list recent
". Miss Ruth Dotson is quarantined
with mumps, her domestic science
classes being in charge Of Miss GLADYS

MONTEZUMA, CLARKDALE
BOTH WON FROM COLLEGE

The victories at basketball of Flag
staff Teachers college came to a sud-
den pause Saturday night when Mon
tezuma college, N NJ, came here
Saturday for her third game with the
locals. In tae TWO previous meetings
the LumberJacks were triumphant,
once by q margin of two points and
the other by 13 points.
For time it looked as if this game
would 90 as the other two had The
score at the end OF the half stood
LII for the locals. This did not in
dicate the strength of the teams in
floor work, however, as Montezuma
had taken the aggressive from the
start and had surpassed in team work
and the number of close shots OBJ
tanned. They We're not able, though,
to cage the close ones, while Flag
staff made large percentage Of its
attempts.
In the last half, Montezuma con-
tinued to hold the upper hand in the
passing game end in addition began
to make a few Of the close shots The
score gradually got closer until with
three minutes to 90 it stood a tie
10 ALL Furious play for the remain
ing minutes resulted in Montezuma
getting 10 points while Flagstaff was
table TO score but two, and the game
ended 1921. Ford, Montezuma, was
high point man with II. Schlansky,
Flagstaff, was, as usual, high point
man for his team, with nine.

SAWMILL BURNS AT
STANDARD $4,000 LOSS

The sawmill of the Standard
Lumber company, located in the Sit
greayes national forest so miles south
of Holbrook, was destroyed by fire
Saturday. The loss was estimated at
$4,000.
Employees of the mill and worlSmen
summoned from the mill of the Cady
Lumber corporation at McNary put,
up valiant fight but were unable
to stem the flames. The cut lumber
in the yard, amounting to three-quar-
ters of million feet, was saved by
the volunteer firemen.
John Zahala and L. M. Quebedeaux
are the principal stockholders of the
Standard Lumber company, and Mr.
Zahala, formerly of Flagstaff, is gem
eral manager.
The fire began at noon, from an
unknown cause. A 500-foot we'll with
10000 gallon tank was soon rendered
practically useless when the steam
pipe from the boiler room to the pump
bursted, making it impossible to work
the pump.
All the machinery, including a new
planer, was destroyed with the excep-
tion of one moulder. The mill was in
sured, but the loss is heavier right
now due to the enforced shutdown
just when every energy was being
directed to getting a big stock of lum
Der for spring delivery.
The mill viii be at once rebuilt,
band saws replacing the former cir
cular saws.

LOGGING LAND WEST OF
OBSERVATORY---A. [. & T.
co. START new BAND saw

Logging is beginning on the state
university land directly west of Lo-
we'll observatory and north of the
railroad. This 2O,000,000 feet of pine
was recently bought by the Arizona
Lumber & Timber Co.
The contract for logging the tract
has been made with c. H. Cooper,
who until the recent temporary shut
down of the Flagstaff Lumber CO.
consequent upon reorganization and
pending repairs, had the logging and
log transportation contract for that
company.
The company is building spur
track west from the mill to the cross
ing under the railroad, two miles
west of Flagstaff, and Mr.. Cooper
will bring the logs with caterpillars
down through the underground cross
ing and there load them on to the
cars. He has just got in two new
caterpillars to replace three burned in
the fire few weeks ago at the Flag
staff Lumber Co. camp.
In few days, probably in week
or so, especially if the weather is set
tied, the Arizona Lumber & Timber
Co. will put an additional band-saw
at work, greatly increasing its daily
cutting of lumber.

LET'S START THE FIRE
If POLITICAL POT is
EVER TO GET BOILING

Coconino county politicians are al
ways slower than they are in other
counties about announcing their can
didacies; and so, while aspirants all
around us are rushing into print to
tell what they want in the way of Of
flee, our potentials are not speaking
above faint whispers, if at all, and
then only into the sympathetic ears
of their closest friends.
We always get started late here.
Still, though there's no noise,
enough has been heard to know how
the land lays in some cases, especially
with reference to those who already
hold office.
Judge J./E. Jones it may be said
with authority will be q candidate for
reelection. Who his republican op-
ponent will be, if there is one, can't
even be guessed. Probably there will
be no such animal; though there may
be a democratic contender in the pri-
maries. Note, the word is maybe
and it is a pretty faint maybe, at that.
County Clerk Tom j.. Rees viii also
be candidate to succeed himself.
Tom has something besides long legs.
to make him a formidable opponent
in a race and if anyone from either
party has hankerings to enter the
lists against him he hasn't peeped yet
Up this way we haven't heard what
is being talked Of politically in VIII
liams, so don't know whether Alfred
Skeels will run for reelection as su-
pervisor fron that end. It is to be
assumed that he win and that he will
have d democratic opponent, because
there usually are a great plenty of
candidates from both parties for each
superVisoral berth
Bob Taylor, supervisor from Flag
staff district No. /, says eYnphatically
he viii not be q candidate.
Joe Kellam, Flagstaff district No.

board, already has chuclIed that old
hat Of his in the ring. He's getting
an early start against any possible

TONIGHT is THE OPENING
NEW ]. c. PENNEY STORE

| Moving day for the ordinary fam
lily amt no holiday-to lapse into
the vernacular so prevalent in less
cultured states than this-and NOV
ling day for d general merchandise
store amt neither holiday nor no
more is it picnic.
Ray H. Simpson, manager of the
local j. c. Penney store, eager as all
get out to get into his fine new store
lin the Kinlani apartment building,
lis almost through lying awake nights
worrying over the strenuous job.
Many thousand dollars worth Of
merchandise, down the street a block
to the corner, then up the street a
block to the new location
''Not so far, but so much," said
Ray, and decided to take three days
Wednesday, yesterday and today-for
moving and settling in the new To-
cation, throwing open the doors to-
might and inviting everybody to come
and see. The opening was to have
been three weeks ago, but the plate
glass for the windows was broken in
transit and so the opening had to be
postponed until after the new glass
got here and was placed. 1t got here
Monday.
Manager Simpson will open tonight
from Z to 8, and cordially invites
everybody in town to drop in and
look the store over. Needn't bring
along any money, as there will be no
selling done tonight. Tomorrow morn
ing the new store will be ready for
business.
J. c. Penney company have multi
piled their business several times over
its volume the first year they opened
here, in 1917. The increase in vol
ume here may have been of as high
a per cent as the increase in Penney
business nationally In 1917 they had
IT'S stores. Now they have 676
The move from the Masonic Temple
it may be said without fear Of sue
cessful contradiction, is not to avoid
paying rent. The old quarters for a
long time have been too small for the
greatly increased demands of the
business, which not only reflects the
confidence our people have in PEN
ney's, but the steady and rapid growth
of this community.

FLAGSTAFF HIGH GETS
FIRST ON CLARKDALE

Last Friday night three basketball
games were played at the high school
gym. The Flagstaff Eagles (high
school) won from Clarkdale, 34-29.
The local all-stars suffered defeat at
the hand of Montezuma college, N.
NJ, 65-34. In the other game the
training school took the eighth grade
team into camp by a score of 23-10.
The Flagstaff Clarkdale game was
closely contested and the outcome was
in doubt until the last few minutes of
play. First one team was ahead and
then the other until the fourth quar-
ter when the Eagles made final
squirt and scored 10 points to their
opponents two. Both teams displayed
some good ball, being about equal in
passing and floor work Flagstaff
excelled in free throwing, their six
counters out of ten attempts proving
the deciding factor in the victory. An
other interesting feature Of this game
is the fact that it is the first time
Flagstaff has ever won over a Clark
dale team.
Cameron, Flagstaff forward, was
high point man with 15, and Wom-
bachar, Clarkdale center, was close
behind with 13. These two players
were outstanding during the entire
game. Jones, Clarkdale forward,
played good game and counted sew
eral times from the floor. Bob
Prochnow and LeBarron looked better
than they have at any time this year
and Captain Runke and Caffey played
their usual consistent game, showing
well on defense.
Flagstaff has two more games to
play in the conference before the
tournanent-with Holbrook and
Winslow.

COL. Z. M. LAMSON PLANS
ESTABLISHMENT BUSINESS
COLLEGE In FLAGSTAFF

Alf Dickinson, the real estate man,
is this week casting around to find
suitable location for Flagstaff
branch of the Lamson Business col
Iege of Phoenix. Col E. NJ. Lanson.
president of the college, who is well
and most favorably known IN Flag
staff, as well as throughout the en-
tire southwest, says in a letter to
The Sun:
II intend to visit Flagstaff in the
course of the next few days, probably
the 10th, 21st and 22nd Of this month.
mo doubt you will be surprised IN
the purpose Of my visit TINS time OF
the year, but this is what it Is: For
several years past / have been think
ing favorably Of establishing a SUM
mer business college at Flagstaff,
but something interfered every tine
| began to give it serious coas-dera-
ton So far as | know / shall be
free to go ahead now il conditions are
favorable.
"To begin with there viii be no
stock for sale ia the organization. All
that / shall ask is the hearty coopefa-
tion Of the people in furnishing board
and room 10 students at reasonable
prices and suitable quarters FOR the
school in a favorable location at
reasonable rent.
"If the first summer term proves
to be an outstanding success, steps
viii be taken at once to make it an
all-year- round Institution, the same
as the Lamson Business college OF
Phoenix"
If Colonel Lanlson does establish
business college in Flagstaff, it will
help anu be helped by cur other
schools. It will be fine thing for
Flagstaff. Cooperation with Colonel
Lamson in looking over the possibln-
ties here and in establishing the
school win materially help in the
furtherance Of an ambition local edu-
Gators have had for some time-to
make Flagstaff the educational cen
ter Of the southwest.
