]. W. (DAD) POWER DIED
SATURDAY in PRESCOTT

His many friends here were sadden-
ed Saturday by news of the death of
John w. Power at the Prescott Pion-
GERS home.
dad" Powers was well beloved
here, where he had spent many of the
sunset years of his life-most of them
in active work that would have been
avoided by men of his age.
Mr.. Powers was born in Adrain,
Mich, January 13, 1830-more than
SO years ago. He first came to Flag
staff in 1881, when the town was be-
ing settled. He worked for the Ari-
zona Lumber & Timber company as
stationery engineer. In 1886 he re-
turned to Michigan, coming back here
two years later and remaining ever
since until Christmas, 1922, when he
went to the Pioneers home.
All of his work here until 1897 was
as engineer for the Arizona Lumber
& Timber company. In that year a
gasket blowing off caused him to be
severely scalded with steam. That,
and his growing deafness, induced him
to resign that position, though dur
ing the 10 years following he ran a

DR.. FASSETT A. COTTON
HONORED BY ELECTION
TO PI GAM M A M u

DR.. F. A. Cotton, president Flag
staff Teachers college, was pleasant
ly surprised recently when without
any previous intimation that it was
coming he received notification and
a certificate of election to member
ship in the National Social SCIENCE
Honor society, Pi Gamma Mu, the
membership Of which is composed Of
prominent educators whose work and
achievements are deemed of a dis
tinctively high order.
This election may have been influ-
enced, aside from DR.. Cotton's edu-
cation work in the middle west, by
his success in Transforming Flagstaff
Normal school into a state teachers
college with power to confer degrees.
Flagstaff Teachers college is now
accrediated by the National Associa-
ton of Teachers Colleges as a second
degree teachers college. DR.. Cotton
has encouragement from this associ-
alton, which fixes the comparative
standing of its college members, that
in another year Flagstaff Teachers
college will be accredited as a college
of the first class.

wood yard and farmed on ranch
just west of town. In 1907 he de-
cided to retire from hard work,
though during most of the years
since then of his residence here he
busted himself most of the time doing
odd jobs, repairing and making furni-
ture, and so forth. He was an ex-
pert wood-turner and the work OF
that sort he did was pretty much for
recreation.
On May 30, 1920, when he was 80
years old, he was chopping wood at
the home of his son, w. H. Power,
when a stick flew up and struck his
head, cutting it badly and stunning
him for some time. The next day he
was around as usual and that even
ing, while he and his son and family
were at dinner the stove in the dim
ing room exploded. The old gentle
man was not injured, though his son
was so badly hurt that he died soon
afterward and his daughter-in-law
and granddaughter, Miss Mary Pow
er, were both injured, the latter very
badly.
Since going to the Pioneers Home
Dad Powers had amused himself by
making crayon drawings of people
and buildings and occasionally writ
ing his opinions of current events.
Many of the drawings, especially
The Coconino sun., 1926-08-06

considering that he did not wear
glasses, are remarkably good. He
claimed no merit for them, but they
had merit. He took a keen interest
in affairs, doing great deal of read
ing, and could converse intelhgently
on many and diverse subjects. He
was popular with the management
and among the other pioneers at the
home, adding as he did to their enter
tainment, always cheerful, always
avoiding controversy.
Dad Powers got up at five Satur-
day morning. When breakfast was
ready he took his place at the table.
He began eating, then leaned back
in his chair and passed away, with
out struggle or apparent pain.
The remains were brought here
Saturday night and the funeral was
held Monday at 10 in the morning at
the Catholic church, of which deceas-
ed was a member, Rev. Fr. E. Albouy
conducting the services. Interment
was in the Catholic cemetery here.
Deceased was survived by no blood
relatives, but is mourned by many
who knew him, especially by his
daughter-in-law, Mrs. w. H. Power
of Flagstaff, and her daughter and
son, Miss Mary Power Of Flagstaff,
and Lester Power Of California. Mrs.
Power had always been attentive to
his needs and comforts and often Wis
tied him in Prescott, also writing him
weekly or oftener.

CAPT. SLIGH ASKS FOR
MORMON LAKE ROAD

Captain S. B. Sigh, proprietor Of
Rockledge Lodge on the north shore
of Mormon lake, in letter to Flag
staff Chamber of Commerce reveals
interesting plans he has under way
for the development Of his place.
Captain Sigh wrote accepting APP
pointment as a member of the pub
licity committee of the chamber.
About his contemplated improve
ments, he says:
'Rockledge Lodge has spent more
than $4,000 this year in trying to
begin developments on Mormon lake.
1t now is being Incorporated for
100000 and a movement is on foot
to link with a big chain of hotels and
start erection of a $4,000 hotel on
this shore at Rockledge Lodge, a
wing of which will be completed and
ready for business by June l, 1927,
and enlarged as patronage demands,
in conjunction with other cottages,
dance hall and all amusements.
The greatest obstacle to this de-
velopment, Captain Sigh writes, is
the condition OF the road TO f1agsta1f, {,
and he continues:
"The greatest asset to Flagstaff
and this county would be good sur
faced road to this lake. Every dollar
spent here flows back to your city.
Why don't your citizens wake up to
that fact? Just so sure as hot sum-
lners exist in southern Arizona, just
so sure will Mormon lake become the
Big Bear lake of Arizona. But unless
this road is developed, just so sure
will your county and your city lose
yearly thousands of dollars to Calf
fornia resorts.
"To say the least, it is burning
shame that your honorable body can
not wake up your citizens to what
Mormon lake really means to Flag
staff and your county.

BOOTH HARRINGTON HAS
REAL, GENUINE THRILL
Famous Author Burned When Boat
Catches Fire--Rescued Drifting
tn Sea,

Kennebunkport, Ne. July 20 UP,
Booth Harrington was recovering
today from an adventure as exciting
as any that have delighted the read
ers of "Penrod" or Seventeen"
When his motorboat caught fire
10 miles off the coast last night, the
Indiana author was successfully
burned by the flames, swept TO sea
before hurricane gale and then,
as in all good story books, recued
in the nick of time.
Two companions shared the novel
ists's plight, Harry 'Thirkell Of this
place and a Miss Trotter OF Philadel"
phia.
According TO the story told at the
Harrington house today, the Zantu.
Tarkington's motorboat. was crippled
by fire about 10 o'clock. He sue
ceeded in extinguishing the flames
with slight burns.
A few minutes later the storm
which had been sweeping east struck
Kennebunkport and then raced out
over the ocean where it kicked up a
formidable sea. The zantu drifted
before a gale but help was near just
as the predicament of the three
seemed particularly unenviable.
Other boaters who sighted the
Harrington boat came to the rescue
and the author and his companions
were taken aboard and the motor
boat in tow.
Today. Mr.. Harrington was nursing
his burns while his companions were
recounting the nights adventure.
