FOUR BUFFALO CALVES
ARE MISSIONARIES HERE
STAY FOR CELEBRATION

-Four yearling buffalo calves were
brought from Houserock valley, III
this county, north Of the Colorado
river, a few days ago to talse part
in the 40 celebration. They didn't
enjoy their trip here in motor
truck so as it could be noticed, but
they are looking forward with great
glee to meeting Flagstaff's people
especially our many pretty young
women, during the celebration.
Lee Doyle, accompanied by Blake
Brown and Oscar Lundahl, roped the
buffalo oat of the herd of so roam
ing up there The state game war
den authorized an expense of $500 for
each calf to get it here. Alfred
Skeels of the county board of sup
ervisors, was instrumental in getting
the proposition through.
Mr.. Skeels feels that having the
buffalo here where SO many will see
them during the 2ni 3rd, 4th and 9Th,
the days of the celebration, will be
Of material help in raising the S10,-
900 for the purchase by the state of
the entire herd from Uncle Jimmie
Owens of Fredonia, the present own
er, from whom Mr. Skeels during
the last spring secured an option,
good until the latter part of this
year.
SO these buffalo calves are mis-
sicnames, so to speak, and undoubt-
edly will help to awaken realiza-
tion that it will be a humane and
wise thing for the state to acquire
ownership-which Mr.. Skeels pro-
poses to have done by private sub
scription--of the entire herd, insu--
ing their protection against eXtermi-
nation

A PROTECTED RAILWAY
TO THE NORTH RIM
OF GRAND CANYON

Persistent rumors are circulating
over northern Arizona to the effect
that the Union Pacific railway COM
pany will build line from Cedar
City, Utah, to the north rim of the
Grand Canyon.
These reports have been heard for
several years past. Now they seem
to have gained considerable degree
of assurance.
1t is logical to expect that the
Union Pacific will extend its line to
the north rim of the chasm. The
company has been forcing its way
gradually southwark. There remain
only between $50 and 200 miles of
road to be built between its southern
terminus at Cedar City and the north
rim.
Union Pacific officials have before
them the profitable business Of The
Santa Fe on its branch line from Wil-
hams to the south rim of the canyon.
On the north side there would be
the additional traffic for the freight
department to be derived from the
harvesting Of the Kaibab forest. The
haulage of timber is an unimportant
item for the Santa Fe on its connec-
tion to the south side of the canyon.
Millions Of board feet of pine,
spruce and fir that reach maturity IN
the Kaibab fall over and decay. That
is a colossal waste. The matured
timber of the forest should be harv-
ested. Up to date, the millions of
feet Of growth have done nobody any
good. Under existing conditions OF
the lumber supply, America can Ill
afford such wastage. 1t has been I'M
practicable heretofore to harvest the
matured timber of the Kaibab forest
because of its remoteness from rail-
ways. With transportation provided,
this great timber waste would be at
an end.
There is every economic reason to
belitve that the Union Pacific will eX-
tend its lines ultimately to the north
rim Of the Grand Canyon.
That will constitute an added rea-
son for the construction Of bridge
over the Colorado river below Lees
Ferry. Stage lines will be established
to bring the tourists VINO visit the
north rim down into Arizona, if
bridge is provided. Few travellers
will care to double back on their
route if more direct connections
through Arizona are offered.
Congress has appropriated 100000
for a bridge over the Colorado, to be
available when matched in equal
amount by the state of Arizona. The
last state legislature did not take adj
vantage Of this valuable opportunity
1t is to be devoutly hoped that The
next state legislature will not be so
indifferent to the interests of the
state in this particular.

REV. LOGIE'S GIRLS
ARE HIGHLY HONORED

Exceptional honor has come to two
Douglas-born girls-Ruth Murray Lo-
gle, niece of James Logic, publisher
of the Douglas Dispatch, daughter of
Rev. George Logic of Phoenix, and
Miss Frederick Wilder, daughter of
Mrs. Anna r. Wilder of Douglas-by
their being chosen as the two most
representative girls in this state to
represent Arizona in the American
Youth award at the Sesqui-Centennial
international exposition at Philadel-
phia.
Rev. Geo. Logic was pastor of the
PRESBYTERIAN church at Flagstaff a
good many years ago. Rev. and Mrs.
Logic have a great many warm
friends here yet who are much pleased
at the honors conferred on the young
ladies, because of the love and respect
for their splendid parents.

TRAVELLING DE LUXE

Male Pilkington, local Buick man,
was pleasantly surprised Wednesday
morning by a visit from several Of
ficials of the General Motors Co.
They were riding in a new 90 passen-
ger yellow cab pullman, the largest
and most thoroughly equipped pas
senger car that ever hit Flagstaff.
The Yellow Cab company is divis-
ion of the General Motors company,
and they were taking this one from
Detroit to Los Angeles and back to
test it out. In the party were c. S.
Mott and C. K Kettering of Detroit,
vice presidents of the General Motors
company; w. A. Chryst, chief Delco
engineer; julius Stone. Delco man
from Columbus, Ohio; Juan DeJongh,
Los Angeles Delco man, and Eupe
Kettering and Adam Schautz.

TOUGH FLAG BANDITS
SHOOT UP WINSLOW

Pioneer days had short but po-
tent revival in Winslow Tuesday
when band of cowboys" in range
regalia, but riding in modern equip
ages, descended suddenly and thor
oughly "shot up" the town.
Without warning the marauders in
parade formation, rode up Second
street in the business section, and as
soon as points of vantage had been
reached cut loose with all artillery.
Luckily the cartridges used were
blank, and the desperadoes were
harmless representatives of the Flag
staff Elks days of 40" celebration,
which will be held in Flagstaff July
2, g, and 5. The shooting up of
Winslow was merely publicity gag"
calculated to arouse attention. 1t did,
This is the second Of the '49 fies-
tas which are to be held annually.
The Flagstaff Elks are the moving
spirit behind the celebration, although
the Chamber Of Commerce cooperates
with the lodge.
According to reports, Flagstaff pre-
sents a rather degenerate appearance,
brought about by consistent razor
dodging on the part of most of its
male citizens. In order to lend real
ism to the celebration, the Skylight
City adonises are sacrificing their
personal beauty to grow crops of gen
uine vest-dusters and alarming sets
of foliage of every color are to be
seen on every masculine chin and
jowl sufficiently mature to propagate
the same.
In the absence of any particular ac-
tivity here over the Fourth OF July,
many Winslowites are planning to at
tend the Flagstaff show.-Winslow

MAYHEM TAKES OVER BROWNS
INTEREST IN TIOGA LODGE

Carl Mayhem, the awaiting photo
grapher and Indian curio magnate,
completed a deal Monday in which he
took over the half interest in Tioga
Lodge on Oak Creek from J c.
Brown, his partner, who started cut
with him in the enterprise last year.
Tioga Lodge was formerly the fam
Gus old Lou Thomas ranch where not
ed fisherman for years congregated
on June 1 to match skill with rain
bow trout.
Wonderful improvements have been
made at the old ranch for the comfort
and convenience of guests. Talk OF
your 'sunlxen gardens" Oak Creek
has no competition in the world. God
made it and decorated it with trees
and canyon walls containing all the
friendly colors tired humanity want
to see when they are all worn out and
want rest.

WHY GO TO CALIFORNIA?
lBisbee Review

A Bisbee man and his family have
returned from vacation trip through
Arizona and report the discobery that
every one else who has enjoyed Ari-
zona scenery has made-that one need
not go out Of the state to see the
wonders Of nature. The "See Ari-
zona First, campaign was started
several years ago by the Arizona In
dustrial congress and every summer
has seen an increased number of peo-
pie following this advice Every time
IA Bisbee party returns from a tour
of the state another convert is made,
and in time the Southern California
beach resorts will attract only few
Arizonans during the hot months OF
the summer. That there is no need
to trek to the beaches to escape the
heat is proven by tn report Of local
people who return from fishing trips
into the White Mountains and tell OF
breaking ice on the water pail every
morning. At Mormon Lake there Is
every vacation amusement that can be
found on California beaches-swim-
ming, motor boating, fishing and dane
ing. For scenic beauty there is moth
ing in America that excels the Grand
Canyon. For excitement and thrills
the summer vacationists can find
nothing in California to compete with
the annual Frontier Days celebration
in Prescott, and at the same time
can enjoy the cool mile-high altitude
of the host city, which is Bisbee's only
rival for cool summer weather.
If Bisbee people have any doubt
about enjoying their vacation period
in Arizona they need only talk with
any of the numerous local residents
who have returned from outings in
! the state.

BROKE UP GAMBLING
JOINT SUNDAY NIGHT

What looked like plan to reap a
harvest here during the celebration
was halted at 10 o'clock Sunday night
when City Marshal j. r. Cooper, Dep
uty Marshal Claude Tackitt and Dep
uties Sheriff Art Vandevier and Bill
Smith kicked in the wall and door at
the bottom Of the stairs into the base
ment Of the Rex pool hall at 2 N.
San Francisco street.
The officers found most everyone
down there scrambling around lively.
All were arrested and all the para
phernalia, which included faro, poker
and crap tables and a lot of cards and
chips and two galvanized iron money
trays was confscated. There was
also 1868 in cash, mostly in silver.
The paraphernalia was turned over
to the Elks for use in the 40 cele-
bration.
The money belonged to Ira Brown,
who told Police Magistrate Clarence
T. Pulliam next morning that he was
running q gambling place there. He
said he rented the basement on June
6, for an athletic" club, paying $40.
He was fined $3.50 and sentenced to
30 days in jail, the Jail sentence not
to become effective If he doesn't get
into any more trouble within 60 days.
He paid.
Jesus Garcia, owner of the Rex pool
hall, said he'd rented the basement to
Brown for month, understanding it
was for a "club," and while he never
had been down there since it was in
operation, he saw lumber go down he
supposed might be used for tables,
and saw men 90 into and out of the
basement at all hours. Admitting that
he supposed they were gambling there
he still didn't see how he could plead
guilty. Magistrate Pulliam eonclud-
ed by filming him $500, cash, which he
paid, and imposing 30-day jail sen
tence to become effective if he is
caught breaking anv law or ordinance
within the next so days.
John Price of Miami, A. Moore, Ras
Jones Of Oklahoma, Jeff Davis of Las
Vegas, New, and George Hayes each
admitted being there when the raid
was pulled off. All were little hazy
as to whether there were any games
going on at the time, though some of
them seemed to suspect poker was
being played. However, none of them
were playing, each said These tran
sients, who had been in Flagstaff
periods Of time ranging from month
in the case OF Hayes to five or SIX
hours in the case Of Price, were each
fined $40, and paid

pull him through in fine shape.

PRIVATE SAVING; PUBLIC
WASTE
(Arizona Republican,

(Aflzona Repubhcan)
Whenever a reply is made to the
INQUIRY why are our state taxes
sharply and constantly rising, we are
informed that it is because of the
growth of the state and the increas-
ing activities Of government. Yet we
all know that there has been no
growth or increase to make neces-
sary such increase of taxation-only
greater recklessness and boldnGss
Of waste. Our government is much
the same as other state governments
in this respect, only little worse, a
little more bold and reckless, be-
cause longer intrenched.
Under the Caption, "How Govern
ment and Business Do Business" the
Railway Age touches upon this sub
ject, showing that for the first three
months Of this year the railway taxes
of the country were 81 per cent
greater than for the corresponding
months of 1925; 11.3 per cent great
er than for the first three months of
1924; 1872 greater than in 1923; 26
per cent greater than in 1922; "a per
cent greater than in 1921, and Al per
cent greater than for the first three
months of 1920.
While government was demanding
constantly more and more money,
the railroads, though doing an in
creasing business, by applying bet
ter methods, were steadily reducing
their operating expenses, a total re-
duction since 1920 Of a billion and a
quarter dollars, or 20 per cent.
The railroads by business methods
were thus enabled to give the public
a better and cheaper service, while
the extravaganza of government by
adding to the expenses of the rail-
roads for taxes, was making more
difficult the improvement and the
service. But the public, and not the
railroads were getting it in the
neck" by government waste.
The larger and more successful any
private business becomes, the smaller
proportionately its operating expen-
ses. It's patrons, under competition,
get the benefit of its reduced cost OF
operation Government does not fig
uref on such saving but keeps on pill
ing up the cost of operation.
And the people pay. The man who
does not own a house, pays higher
rent; the patron of a merchant pays
a higher price for every article
which necessity compels him to buy.
In the end, it is the man who can
least afford to pay that pays for the
extravaganza of government.

PRESCOTT BALL TEAM
PROFIT BY OUR ERRORS

Flagstaff lost at baseball to Pres
colt Sunday by II to 2. Several of
the players went to Prescott Satur-
day night and failed to get their eye
on the ball Sunday, Several errors
were made and also some. good plays.
Bob Harris was the only one who
could hit and even then the boys
couldn't get going. This makes two
games lost and two won, so the gang
will have to whip up in the rest of
the games to get in on the money.
There will be two games here the
fourth and fifth, with Kingman, but
these win not be counted on the SER
les. Games will be called at 1870
sharp so as not to interfere with the
Ells big show down town.

ATTACK JURISDICTION
OF lNDIANA'S COURTS
Six Convicted Of Liquor Con-
spiracy Appeal to Supreme
Tribunal Here.

An attack on the Jurisdiction Of the
Indiana courts constitutes the basis
for an appeal to the Supreme Court
flied by Morris Mutton and Ave others,
convicted in Indiana Of conspiracy un.
lawfully to remove 10000 gallons 1T
whisky from the Jack Daniel Distil-
lery at st. Louis.
The argument set forth In q petition
fled for them was that they originally
were indicted in Missouri where the
overt acts were charged and that
they should have been tried there
The only overt act relied upon by the
Government to give the Indiana court
Jurisdiction, they contend, was the
passage through that State Of money
and property to be used in other
States in carrying out the conspiracy.
The convicted men question the
charge to the jury on several grounds.
among others that the Judge failed to
instruct the jury that to sustain con.
viction they must And some act to
have been committed In Indiana In
execution OF the conspiracy.
The use by the Government as wit
nesses Of George Ren1us and others
named In the indictment was chal-
lenEed az invalid. 1t being asserted
that they were compelled to testify
