Good Range, Stock
Conditions Prevail

Light to heavy precipitation occur
red during the past week in nearly
all sections except extreme southern
portion, and ranges we're greatly
benefited, the moisture refreshing
the Younger grasses and softening
older and harder feed for the heavy
grazing about to begin as winter sets
in. Sheep are moving to winter
pastures in some sections. In south
western New Mexico, the good con-
ditions of the past few weeks continue.
Water, stock. and range are only fair
in the Nogales section, but in the
vicinity of Douglass range and cattle
are in good condition. Grass and
range are both reported very good
in the Thatcher country, and cattle
are fat Around Whiteriver and Hol-
brook stock, range. and water are all
good. Good conditions prevail in the
neighborhood Of Seligman. It is re-
ported that good conditions also are
observed at Williams and Pinedale.
Cattle and ranges are good south OF
the Grand Canyon; on the north rim
the weather was q.ite cold and wintry
with heavy rains and moderate snow
fall At the present time eight inches
Of snow remain on the ground there.
In the Salt River Valley, cotton is
developing slowly; the date harvest
is completed, and citrus conditions
are favorable. In the Yuma section
wet fields have delayed cotton picking
and held up other farm work. During
the last Of the week, however, work
was getting under way again. Lettuce
is reported as needing thinning.

First Baby Clone
Hit Flag Sunday

Cyclones are certainly not indigo
nous to Flagstaff but young one
strayed into this section early Sunday
afternoon during a black thunder
storm and created lot of excitement
and considerable damage.
The center of the disturbance was
in the cemetery where a number of
trees were uprooted. Several were
blown down on the Lake Mary road
near Slaughter House hill. The track
of the young twister was northeast
from the cemetery. 1t lifted off the
the roof Of a Mexican house in High
land Park, blew down telephone and
electric light poles at the Flagstaff
Lumber Co. mill, and also blew some
of the stacked lumber from the yards
into the residence section. Passing
out east of town it created havoc in
the yard of the Lee Vishno place in
Sunnyside addition. A tree or two
were reported down several miles east
Of town, evidently the result Of a final
twist of the baby cyclone before it was
dissipated. There were in all in the
neighborhood of 25 or 80 trees blown
down.
c.. III. Barrett, who halls from an
honest goodness cyclone country,
! happened to be at the foot of Beaver
street just as three black clouds, one
from the west, another from the east
and one from the north, joined con-
| flicting forces and funnelled directly
over the graveyard. The first thing
he saw were branches Of trees flying
i through the air in all directions. Wher
trees began to disappear, he recog-
nized his old friend and began to Won
| der If there were any such household
conveniences as cyclone cellars in his
neighborhood. However its path re
mained visible so he didn't worry. AS
long as you can see the cyclone you
don't need to be afraid, but the min
ute it is out Of sight, look out, for il
is after you, he declared.
This storm was freakish in many
respects. Hailstones, many as large
as wild walnuts, fell heavily in spots
There were many areas close to towr
where not a drop Of moisture fell
while soft hail covered most of the
city. A falling tree is said to have
hit the wagon of a man moving tc
town from Mormon Lake, and caused
his horses to run away.

ADVERTISING And OUR
TOWN ROTARY THEMES


r. II. Gassman, chairman for the
program at Tuesdays Rotary.
The two speakers were "Howdyi
Jackson, secretary Flagstaff Chamber
of Commerce, r. NJ. Fox of Flagstaff
Teachers college and Brick" Preston
coach Of athletics at Flagstaff high
school.
Mr.. Fox spoke on the psychology Of
advertising, enumerating the qualities
it must have to bring favorable re-
suits and emphasizing its usefulness
in promoting business.
Mr.. Jackson's theme was "Our
Town." and his text, "The desirability
Of our town as a place in which to
live depends upon the civic pride OF
myself and my neighbors." He anal
yzed the many various elements that
contribute or detract from the liyable-
ness of town.
Mr.. Preston announced the football
game at City park this afternoon be-
tween Flagstaff and Williams high
schools, which he prophesied will be
a humdinger, and asked Rotarians to
remember it and attend.
Attendance will be easy this after
noon, if the recommendations made by
President A. J. Mackey when he
opened the meeting are followed, that
is that the business places here be
closed Friday afternoon, in observance
of Armistice day.

But early Monday morning Mr..
Gold, from the cliffs above, saw them

o'clock they had reached the high

Nothing had happened; the explor-

nightfall before they reached their
destination Too much water in the
bottom of the canyon and too many
precipitous cliffs that they had to
climb around made the trip planned
too lengthy to be finished before

| the last blue stains viciously.
| When he returned, the deck steward
called him aside and asked him to
| take up tray to the bridge.
Your governor wants another bot

| 'and I'll be glad If you would take it.
| I'm not a nervous man, but"
Herein was to be the supreme test.
| Ii Latin was in charge, the shrewd
wits, no less than the keen vision. of
that warped genius might reveal his
| identity. Apparently stewards had no
difficulty in reaching the boat deck.
and he was not challenged when he
carried the tray to the foot of the
| bridge ladder, A man whom he knew
looked down at him.
Bring it up" he said curtly. and
Bill obeyed
None of the three nondescripts who
occupied the bridge wore either the
robe of the order or the uniform of
officers. He in charge sported brown
derby hat and to add to the incon.
gruity of his appearance he wore
pair of old golf breeches, thick wool
Ell stockings and bright red slippers
which Bill remembered having seen
in the captains cabin. Any of the
three might have walked out of
saloon on any sea front in the world
Sailormen undoubtedly; former officers
probably, thought Bill, and toughs
most certainly.
He bore the tray into what had
been the captains cabin. which was
now occupied by big man. who
turned his head as Bill entered. Har.

your name?'
"Smithers," said Bill Immediately.
We'll, see here, Smithers, you can
go tell your pals that they're all right
unless they start any monkey busi-
ness. You know me--you know my
name, don't you? Never sailed with
me. eh?" The new commander seemed
piqued by the negative reply. Harvey
Ha1e-that's me. You'll remember my
name?"
Yes, SIR said Bill, saying what
was required of him.
That's good. You can tell the world
you've met Harvey Hale-one of these
days. The big man with the big
ideas. Get that right, son-the big
man with the big ideas! When you're
boasting about how you've met me,
don't forget that. Harvey Hale, the
big man with the big ideas!'
Bill looked at him curiously The
captain had changed for the worse
since he had seen him last He wore
a pair of old khaki trousers and
golf coat buttoned up to his chin,
over which he had a worn khaki
overcoat which hung to his knees.
Suddenly his tone changed, and he
became severely practical
fDo you know a passenger named
Holhrook? He was up here the other
morning, but / missed him somehow"
Yes, sir, / was looking after his
cabin, said Bill. II haven't seen him

''If / see him I shall certainly tell
him that" said Bill, emboldened by
the success of his disguise. Better
take me. for your steward, captain.
You don't want all sorts of fellows
coming up and down carrying stories,
You never know what they will talk
about"
Hale seemed to take a favorable
view of this, but, to Billie surprise,
would not come to a decision. From
his attitude Holbrook was certain

OUTLAWS KILL GERMAN.

MEXICO CITY, May IA R).-One
of the most prominent German resi-
dents of Mexico, a business man
named Schondube, was killed Thurs
day morning by an outlaw band which
attacked his ranch, in the State of
Talisco, it was learned yesterday.
President Gales has personally
ordered federal forces to do their ut
most to punish the outlaws, who were
described as rebels in advices from
the ranch.
Private and press dispatches from
Jalisco say that Schondube. who was
more than 10 years old, was shot in
the abdomen and died quickly. The
advices indicated that the outlaws
were subsequently routad hE the ranch
hands and fled to the mountains, with
federal troops in pursuit.

steward, whom he met, glanced at him
suspiciously.
''Hullo, where have you come from?"
he asked
ASK no questions, snapped Bill,
'and attend to your own business"
1t was the only tone to adopt, and
the steward fell into the natural er-
ror that the new man was one of the
gang which he knew was in control of
the Escorial In the circumstances
Bill could only marvel at the extraor-
dinary discipline which such men as
he displayed. By no secret confidence
did they betray the danger in which
these gayly clad men and women
stood. 1t was no strange phenome-
non, however. He had travelled in
ships where suicides and murders had
been committed under his nose which
he had known nothing about until he
had read the report of the inquest.
An idea occurred to him and he
sought out the deck steward.
II shall be helping you up here, he
said, trying TO impart a world of mean
ing into his tone.
The steward touched his cap.
''All right. Sir" he said Excuse me
II / was a little short with you, but l
didn't tumble to YOU
None Of the passengers knows?"
The steward shook his head.
'No. sir; we've had strict orders to
keep every bit of news from them. !
must say he said. with the reluctant
admiration which the law-abidinG have
for the lawless. you've managed the
job very well"'
Bill growled an acknowledgment of
this unsubtle fiattery and busted HIM
self with the requirements of the
loungers.
At II O'Clock houillon was served,
and he helped the deck steward in it's
distribution. Give Lowbridge refused
the cup with a little grimace, and Bill
smiled 10 himself when he saw, out of
the tail~of his eye, the ubiquitous Ben
son bearing glass of seltZer water
and large biscuit to his master. The
weather was not so warm as it had
been. He saw the girl shiver, and
went down TO her cabin and brought
her furs.
How very nice of you, steward, :"
said the girl in surprise as he put the
cloak about her shoulders. Have you
seen Mr.. Holbrook again?"
"Yes. miss, l just met him III the
alieyway. 1 think he has been writ
tng."
She laughed softly.
''You haven't to be detective to dis
cover that, have you?" she said. Poor
Mr.. Hobrook carries the marks of his
profession"
"How?" asked Stone.
''FIave you never seen the ink on
his fingers" she asked. and Bill went
a fiery red. Fortunately she did not
observe his perturbation, and he hur-
ried away to examine in private his
telltale fingers.
Anyway. there's no ink on them

his power, he was the subordinate of
another, and had little or no real
authority in his hands.
That afternoon Bill discovered that,
if the secret of the mornings adven-
lures had been well kept, there was a
feeling of suspicion abroad. The care
less gayety of the passengers who
thronged the deck was less marked.
He saw grave faces, and one man,
unknown to him, buttonholed him in
the companionway and asked him if
anything was wrong.

looked at her watch.

She woke next morning shiver
ing. and hastily pulled her fur coat on
to the bed. There was a knock at the
door, and the new steward came in.
I'm going to put on your radiator
If you don't mind, miss"
"An electric radiator in Julyr she
said jerkily, for she was chilled to the
bone.
1T does seem queer" said the new
steward. Il shouldn't get up, miss,
until this cabin is warm"
Whatever has happened? Why is
it so cold?" asked the muffied voice of
the girl from beneath the clothes.
Il don't know" said Bill. Probably
because it showed in the night.
There's 2 inches of it on the upper
deck"
He was one of the few who knew
that for IS hours the Escorial, leav-
ing her course. had been steamed at
full speed northward into the frozen

thumb in the direction of the heavens,
but Bill guessed that he was referring
to the bridge.

Somebody was hurt this morning,
said the passenger, by no means reas-
sured ''They say the captains dead. "
'I've heard nothing about it" said
Bill, and made his escape.
The unobservant travellers could
hardly fail TO observe one peculiar
fact. They came up as usual from
dinner to find remarkable change in
conditions. Betty, who did not leave
the saloon until 10 O'Clock (she had
waited on, hoping that Bill would put
in an appearance), uttered little gasp
of wonder as she stepped out on to
the deck.
"We've dined very early" she said.

here this week in a suicide pact. The
bodies of two of the men were found
in one room. while the third died
alone. Each had made efforts to re-
move all marks by which the body
could be identified.
The bodies were identified. however

Lehrer, 40, and George Taschner, 26.
The men sealed cracks i'm their rooms
with plaster and turned on the gas.
Friends Of the trio declared yester-
day that the men had tried various re-
ligious creeds, including occultism and
finally had turned to atheism. The
suicide pact was said by acquaint-
