The Washington times., 1926-02-03

The name Pontiac carries q
reader back to school days and his
tory lessons and that colorful period
the Revolutionary War when the
French and red coated English were
struggling for possession OF this
continent and using every art to
persuade the Indian tribes to jain
forces with them.
Pontiac played a powerful role
in these struggles. Being born Of
an Ottaway chief and an Ojibway
mother proved a decided advantage
for the natural leader by increas-
Ing his influence over both tribes.
Al traveller who visited this coun.
try about 1850 had the following
to say about him: Pontiac, their
present king or emperor, has GER
tainly the largest empire and the
greatest authority OF any Indian
chief who has appeared on the
continent since our acquaintance
with II"
It Is recorded that Pontiac led
the Indian Ottawa tribes against
the English General Braddock and
defeated him and was accorded
much honor by MontcAlm and
other French officers.
Pontiac made his home at an
ottawa village about five miles
from Detroit on the Canadian side
OF the Detroit River, in very sim.
pie manner. and 1t was here un-
doubtedly that he began dreaming
of how best to unite his tribes
against the invaders. The first
time he appeared, from all his.
torica1 accounts, was 1850 or, the
year after the English took Quebec.
When the English ascended the
Great Lakes to take possession,
Pontiac became their ally but due
to the III treatment he received,
soon became their enemy. He united
and ORGANIZED the tribes against the
English and attacked all thir posts
on the Great Lakes simultaneously,
but at Detroit, was unsuccessful be-
cause the commander had been fore.
warned OF the plans.
When Pontiac learned Of the
treaty between the French and Eng
lish, he tried to unite the tribes
along the Mississippi river. . But an

JOE DOLAN TO BUILD BOX
FACTORY In PHOENIX

Joe c. Dolan left Tuesday for
Phoenix, where next week he begins
the erection of a wooden-boX factory
which will have daily capacity of a
hundred thousand feet of lumber.
Mr. Dolan had been planning his
new enterprise for several months.
Recently he bought five-acre tract,
part of the Alhambra Brick company
property between Phoenix and Alham-
bra, as a site for the factory, which
he hopes to have in operation in Sep
tember and for which there is a big
and constantly growing need in the
Salt River valley, in which many OF
the boxes used now come from Cali
fornia. The demand for boxes there
remains pretty nearly even the year
around and is rapidly growing owing
to the increase in lettuce and other
truck as well as fruit growing. This
demand will be greatly increased by
the new San Carlos dam irrigation
project, Mr.. Dolan says.
He expects to get his lumber from
the mills in the north part of the
state, which will bring him to Flag
staff frequently. He is retaining his
lumber yard and real estate interests
in Los Angeles.

OSTERHOUT WINNER GOLF
TOURNEY, BILL CLAYPOOL
OF NEEDLES, RUNNER-UP

President Ed Haight and the other
officers and the members of Flag
staff Country club are delighted ov-
er the success Of the first annual
golf tournament, played here Sun
day and Monday. 1t was named the
Santa Fe line golf tournament and
is to be regular annual event. Con-
testants entered from Kingman, Win
slow, Jerome, Needles, Holbrook,
and Flagstaff, all Santa Fe line
towns. Sportsmanship of the real va
riety ruled all the way. The weather
was fine, the course in excellent con-
dition under the care of Tom Jack
son, professional, though owing to
the heavy rain Saturday the greens
were wet and slow.
A. M. Osterhout of Winslow, nine
teen years old, played the course on
Sunday in 81 for the 10 holes-one
less than par, and in the finals when
he won from Claypool he went around
in 40. More than a hundred players
were in the gallery during the finals,
attracted by Osterhout's wonderful
playing. He not long ago won the
amateur championship of the state of
Washington. In addition to the hand
some silver and gold cup offered by
T. A. Riordan of this city he took
the trophy for lowest score in the
qualifying round and another as win
ner of his flight.

SCOUT CAMP AT MORMON
LAKE is FINE, BOYS SAY

About so boy scouts with G. G. Wit
torff and Phil hollingsworth, in
structors from Flagstaff, Harry S.
Hill, instructor from Williams, and
Scout Executive r. H. Waldraven
with cook and helper made up the
scout camp that was held at Mormon
Lake. The camp was divided into
two sections with three tents to a
section. David Slipher was leader of
section 1 and Max Hathaway of Win
slow of section 2.
At the court of honor, 40 merit
badges were awarded to six first class
scouts, ten second class scouts and
five tenderfeet. Four scouts qualified
for star badges and one for the eagle
badge.
The camp fire programs were es-
pecially interesting. Many of the
boys brought their instruments, which.
helped to make the programs attrac-
tive. Rotarians of Flagstaff with
their wives were guests at the camp
one evening.
DR.. Slipher and Robert Cree also
visited the camp, DR.. Slipher giving
an interesting talk on star study. A
fitting climax came to the evenings
program when DR.. Slipher and Mr..
Cree produced six large watermel-
ons.
1t is the general opinion of the
parents and boys that this camp was
the best yet conducted for the scouts
of Flagstaff, Williams and Winslow,
and plans are already being made by
the council officers and Executive
WaIdraven to take care of 100 boys
next year at Camp Scouting Much
credit and thanks is due to the men
of the district committees of the
three towns represented and more es-
pecially to Captain ]. B. Wright,
chairman of the camp committee Tor
the council, who generously donated
his time and efforts to help make
the camp a success; F. E. Pipes OF
Flagstaff Lumber Co., who donated
to the scouts over 1000 feet of lum-
ber and had it hauled to the camp
site; B. A. Cameron, chairman of the
camping committee for Flagstaff,
who loaned the trucks that transport
ed the boys to camp, and also to II.
G.. Miller, chairman of the district
committee, who gave freely of his
time and service to help make the
camp success.
To all these and to others who
helped in the preparation of the camp
Executive Waldraven, on behalf OF
the council expresses his sincere ap-
probation of what they have done for
the boys and scouting in this section.

ASK NEW TRIAL FOR
BURGEN SLAYER JOE CANS

Sloan Burgen, by his attorneys H.

Ferguson of Holbrook filed a motion
for new trial on July 3. Burgen was
convicted by jury of the murder of
Joe Cans near the Flagstaff Lumber
company's sawmill on March and
was given a life sentence in the state

In the plea for new trial Burgen's
attorneys claim defendant, not hav-

stand questions propounded him dur
ing his trial, damaged his own case
and shut out favorable testimony.
Burgen on the stand said he shot
twice at Cans before the latter made
any move as if to draw a gun. His
attorneys claim this was not the case;
that Cans moved at the beginning of
the affair for his gun; that he had
borrowed a gun to use on Burgen, and
that he had made threats against
Burgen and was a dangerous charac-

CHARLIE LEHR HIT BY
BUILDING FEVER, STORE

Charlie Lehr's new store building
is now under process of erection,
ground for it having been broken
early this week by Contractor H. P.
Cram, who will have it finished with
in the next two months.
The location is between the Odd
Fellows building on East Aspen and
Mrs. w. H. Powers hat shop, and
will take up all of the vacant space
between those two buildings.
The new building will have gray
stone and plate glass front, brick
walls, will be one story high and will
front 2312 feet on Aspen avenue, be-
ing 85 feet deep. Mr.. Lehr will rent
it. He had intended waiting few
months longer before building, but
considering the advantageous location
and the certainty that a building
there would be much in demand, he
decided not to wait any longer.
