F. H. S. BOYS AND GIRLS
MEET WILLIAMS TONIGHT

The basketball season will be ush-
cred in tonight at Flagstaff high
school gymnasium when the boys
and girls teams from Williams meet
the Flagstaff boys and girls. AS this
is the first game of the season, very
little is known of their relative
strength but because of existing rival
ry, the fans are sure to see exciting
games.
The Williams girls team won the
championship of northern Arizona
last year by playing through the sea-
son undefeated and will be out to de-
fend their title. The local team will
be made up of girls who played on
the second team last year, most of
the stars having graduated. The fol-
lowing will probably get into the
game for Flagstaff: Mildred and
Millicent Meyer, Najala Nackard,
Josephine Wilson, Minnie Hilkins,
June Cooper, Grace Cooper, Mary
Raudebaugh, Helen Harrington and
Gladys Hooten.
Coach Preston has had squad Of
Is to 20 boys practicing since Thanks
giving and the rivalry for positions on
the team has been SO keen that he is
having hard time to pick the best
five. Captain "Babe" Cameron seems.
to be the only one to have place
cinched. Bob Prochnow and Brinton,
both lettermen from last year, are
going good and will probably be in
the lineup when the whistle blows
Other promising candidates are: Hat
rison, Francis, Sheehan, Caffey and
Weidner, forwards; and Beard, An
derson, Slipher, Thomas and Wallace,
guards. Most Of these will probably
see action in the game tonight.
C. F. Deaver and T. d. Jessuppe
from the Teachers college will be Of
ficials. Next Friday night Flagstaff
will play Winslow at Winslow.

FLAGSTAFF ON TWO
ROAD WORK PROGRAMS

PHOENIX, Ariz.-State Engineer
w. G. Lefebvre, Tuesday made public
che contents of the state highway
departments financing bill and We
hicular code which is expected to be
introduced on the floor of the house
Wednesday. The bill provides also for
the erasing of deficit of several
hundred thousand dollars which has
existed for the past four years.
Lefebvre stated that "a two year
program in state highway construct
ion IS neither economical nor practic-
al. It does not permit of planning and
conducting work in the most econom-
ical continuity, especially in paving
projects where new sub-grades must
be constructed
The act provides for:
Completion of the states seven
per cent system and inclusion of es-
sential paving of which first consid-
Grafton will be given the Phoenix
Yuma, Phoenix Wickenburg, Mesa
Miami Florence, Tucson-Tombstone-
Douglas : Bisbee, Prescott Granite
Dells and the Flagstaff-Holbrook
highways.
Completion of other state roads not
included in the seven per cent plan.
Matching of federal appropriations
for the Lees Ferry bridge and the
taking over and ultimate completion
Of the Flagstaff Utah highway.
Completion of other state roads not
included in the seven per cent plan.
Matching Of federal funds for the
Apache Indian reservation and the
taking over and ultimate completion
Of the highway from Globe to a
northeastern connection, either by
way of Rice or another location.
Taking over and construction Of the
highway from Casa Grande to Gila
Bend and those from Wickenburg to
the Colorado river and other inter
county and Interstate roads that
may become a convenient and neces-
sary connection or extension to the
state highway system"
The proposed revenue measure
would produce, it is estimated, ap-
uroximately s1,85O,00O annually, as
against abont $1,575,00O obtained
under the present laws.

WRONG SIDE OF ROAD
SPEEDING, WRECKED

Justice of the Peace Harry Rich
wine who took office Saturday, tried
his first case on Monday afternoon
when three Mexican lads were up for
speeding. Luckily there was no seri-
ous result of their Sundays reckless
driving and the fine was small, only
$5, imposed upon the driver, Louis
Sanchez. With him at the time were
his brother, joe and Ramon Alaya.
The luckiest ones concerned, and
they fully realize it are Mr.. and Mrs.
Ralph Mcmillan and Mr.. and Mrs.
Ray Jennings and their babies who
were in the path of the wildly car
eening car which was on the wrong
side of the street, and were barely
missed by it as it plunged off the
road, travelled through the air for
eight feet and landed, after a slide
of half block, in huge snowdrift.
1t all happened on the highway near
Pine Grove ranch on Sunday after
noon.

DRUNK. WRECKED OWN
AND THEN OTHER CARS

His big closed car meandering
from one curb to the other, ais he at
intervals stepped on the gas, Rafael
Sarabia of Winslow managed in the
course Of few miutes to ram three
other cars down town in Flagstaff
Tuesday afternoon, tearing a wheel
off one, the Fort Valley school truck.
"Nothing's the matter with me
'cept I'm drunk" Sarabia told City
Marshal j. r. Cooper, who stopped
his fun and took him to jail. By that
time there wasn't much left of Sar-
abia's Buick.
Sarabia sure was drunk. Next
morning he still was. Yesterday morn
ing he was taken before Police Mag
istrate Clarence T. Pulliam, who fin
ed him $3.50 and also assessed
against him $79.36, the cost of re-
pairing the other three cars.
Sarabia paid. He already had Civ
en- up his car as security for the dam
ages to the others He left at once
for Winslow, promising to be sober
next time he comes here. 1t was his
car. which had been borrowed, which
tipped over near Cliffs year on so
ago, and nearly killed one Of the oc-
cupants.

BABBITTS TO HOLD FIRST
BUYING CONVENTION here

For the first tinle-tilough it is
MANNED to make it senii-annual af-
fair after this-Babbitt Brothers
Trading company will hold conven-
tion here on the week of January "a
All of the store and trading post
managers from the various points
throughout the state where Rabbits
are established, will be here, and
statesmen representing various lines
the stores carry and competing lines
have been invited to be here with
their samples and compete for the
business.
The idea is to systematize buying,
pooling from the various branches to
increase buying power, and thus get
lower prices. It is believed the inno-
vatior will prove advantageous 10
Babbitt Brothers and their custom
ers.
This convention buying plan is cf-
Grated by most of the big mercantile
chains and successfully, though until
now Babbittt Bros. never had adopted
it.
The convention will continue for
three or four days. Headquarters
will be at Hotel Monte Vista.

FROzE FEET In LONG HIKE
BUT GOT CHRISTMAS TO
HIS KIDDIES ON TIME

Frank Locke of Oak Greek may
lose his feet from freezing but when
his children wakened Christmas
morning they found presents in their
stockings and knew that Santa Claus
had been there.
The father, who had waded through
the deep snow all night long, stagger-
ed into the house Christmas
morning with both feet frozen. The
children made the half mile trip in
the snow to Oak Greek lodge where
they told the story I'd Mr.. and Mrs.
Carl Mayhem, who responded with
first aid applications and rubbing.
Later care by a physician may have
helped lessen the damage.
Mr.. Locke, who lives on the John
Thomas place below the lodge started
out for town the day before Christ
mas. He waded through knee-deep
snow as far as the Arizona Lumber
& Timber Co., logging camp, where
he caught a logging train to town,
bought his Santa Claus things and
began the return trip on foot at five
that evening. He had to walk all the
way and though he realized that he
was very cold there was nothing to do
but continue if his children were not
to be disappointed.

LOCAN'S FIRST BIG LION
KILLED HE GETS ANOTHER

OFT Logan, who is bagging noun
tain lions and other wild varmints so
they may pose before the movie cam
era, and who was sort of up against
it when someone killed the big lion
he had such hard time getting three
weeks ago, got him another one this
week-eyen bigger and snappier than
the one killed.
Like the other big one, which, up
a tree, jumped for OFT and decided
him to drop into the snow from 40
feet up, this new cat led him a merry
chase. He was on its trail for three
days, jumping and freeing him at
three in the afternoon of the third
day. But he didn't stay treed, cours-
ing swiftly down and up three more
trees, Logan hot after him.
In the fourth tree the eat succumb-
ed to the rope.
Logan is getting these big cats
so they may be photographed and he
will take his latest capture out to-
morrow, when he will be "shot" by the
camera for the motion picture, "Rop-
ing Wild Lions"
Mrs. Richard Griffith of Flagstaff,
who is being featured in these pic
lures, will not work in the one to-
morrow, as the producers feel the
risk too great, but will appear in the
rest of the pictures that are to be
produced around Flagstaff showing
wind animals and their capture.
Mr.. Dalieden and Mr.. Griffith, the
producers, arrived here night before
last, bringing with them in their car
from the coast the lynx captured in
one of the pictures made here three
weeks ago. Very likely his lynxship
ie the first wild animal captured
around here ever taken to see the
sights of Hollywood and returned the
same as he went. None of the Holly
wood beauties tanned him; that is
apparent when one attempts to get
friendly with him.
Flagstaff will be headquarters for
Messrs. Daleiden and Griffith for
filming series of IL adventure pic
lures, and for this dangerous work
OFT Logan and Mrs. Richard Griffith,
both of this city, will play the lead
ing parts, except as they may in
some Of the pictures find their roles
subordinate to some of the animals.
The two pictures made here recent
ly are to be previewed at the Orph-
cum theatre Saturday and Sunday.

MRS. JOHN BROWN DIED
YESTERDAY in CALIFORNIA

Mrs. John G. Brown, one of Flag
staff's most beloved women. passed
awar yesterday morning at seven
o'clock at Fullerton. Calf, according
to kilograms received from Mr..
Brown by friends here.
Mrs. Brown had been sufferer
from cancer for several years and
had undergone many operations in
efforts to prolong her life. Always
energetic and interested in accom-
plishing things, Mrs. Brown was
about the store and home as usual
until last summer. Mr.. Brown then
turned over the newsstand to w. T.
Robertson ard with his wife moved
to the Gap trading post hoping that
the complete rest and freedom would
be beneficial In November they went
to Fullerton, after which Mrs. Brown
rapidly grew worse.
Flagstaff loses. one of its most in
teresting and valuable women in the
death of Ms. Brown. She was an act
i've member Of the Eastern Star lodge
and prominent in civic work and her
cheerful and vital personality will be
greatly missed.

COLLEGE ENROLMENT
INCREASES 20 PER CENT

Enrolment at Flagstaff Teachers
college for the winter quarter of
1927 already shows a net gain of
20 per cent over the enrolment for
the winter quarter last year and stu
dents continue to aarive..
The largest increase was shown in
the number of boys enrolled. Accom-
odations at Taylor hall couldn't be
had and the boys half of Bury hall
was in about the same condition.
Means are being found to increase
the facilities so that every boy can
be Accommodated.
Enrolment of students up to
Tuesday evening totalled 210, and
many more were expected to enroll
before the week is past. The students
continued to arrive Wednesday and
Thursday and others are scheduled to
come before next Monday.
Facilities at the college for tax
ing care of the steady quarterly in
creases are becoming congested and
some remedy will have to be found to
relieve the conditions If the increases
continue, the school authorities say.

TOMMY KNOLES BUYS
THE PEERLESS BAKERY

Tommy Knoles Jr. announces that
on next Monday he will become the
owner Of and manage the Peerless
bakery of this city.
When Mr.. Knoles and his bride of
a few months (formerlv Miss Elean-
ore Greenlaw of this city, returned to
Flagstaff few weeks ago it was to
look for a business opening here.
Mrs. Knoles had lived here all her life
and Tommy for some time, during
which he attended high school and
helped his father and uncle in the
bakery, whicE then belonged to them.
Since leaving here he had been as
sociated with them in their bakery
business at Warren, this state, which
they recently sold.
Knoles brothers-Rollin and Tom
Sr-made an enviable reputation in
the two years or so they We're estab-
lished here and built up big busi-
ness. Tom Jr. has their skill and
knows the methods they followed in
building success here and in other
places and may be counted on to
show his dad and uncle that he has
profited by what he has learned.
The Peerless bakery is splendidly
GQulppGQ Will IuUuCIIl lIldCulIIEIys anu
the new owner viii run it along the
cleanest, most sanitary and latest sci
entific methods.
Mr.. and Mrs. Knoles' many local
friends will be delighted TO know they
are to be here permanently. Mrs.
Knoles was for some time before her
marriage and following graduation
from the local schools private secre-
tary to John @. Thomas, city schools
superintendent. Her husband, while
a student there, made a wonderful
record at football and at high school
track meets, later starring on the
Flagstaff baseball team.
Charles Pietsche and H. A. Smith,
recent owners Of the bakery, which
they bought a few months ago from
Moser brothers, who succeeded the
Knoles brothers, have not decided
where they VIII locate. They sold be-
cause both were in bad health.

music by the Hawaiian trio. These
young men also received first prize
at the amateur performance. Pete
Costello played the steel guitar, S.
Chavez the ukelele and E. Earndez

Other Flagstaff folks also showed,
but not so prominently George Nc
Cormick, Miss Hazel Whitaker and

ALL DELIGHTED WITH
MONTE VISTA; MANY
WILL ENTERTAIN THERE

Delighted comments were heard on
every hand from the hundreds who
inspected the new Hotel Monte Vista
at It's opening Saturday afternoon.
Delight and astonishment both
were common emotions, for very, few
realized how tiuly beautiful the in
terror decorating and appointments
Of the hotel are.
1t is easily the best in this state, IS
the verdict of all who are familiar
with what the other cities of the state
have to offer in the way OF hotels;
and this was not said in way in any
sense in disparagegGent of the other
fine hotels in Arizona, Of which there
are many.
The lobby was profusely decorated
with great floral bouquets sent by
various well-wishers, and they added
much to the attractiveness of the
scene. At intervals Professor A.
Maxemin gave violin solos, in his US
ual excellent technique.
From two to six Saturday after
noon the townspeople came and Went,
there not being at any time q crush,
but at all times during those hours
there were at least three hundred peo-
pie present, and during the afternoon
there must have been two thousand
people who came to see and admire.
In the evening, at the informal
dance attended by the stockholders
and their friends, there were several
hundred local people and visitors
from out of town. From nine to
twelve they danced to the peppy
music of Doc Williams orchestra sta
toned on the mezzanine balcony over
looking the dining room. Punch was
served literally. Everybody had a
delightful time.
Like everything else connected IN
any way with the hotel since the be-
ginning of the drive for funds with
which to build it, both afternoon and
evening functions were in every way
successful.
1t is hard to write of the hotel, be-
cause there is always the tendency to
use the many superlatives that con-
stantly keep springing to mind. A
fiction writer, like Zane Grey for in
stance, whose remarkable word pic
lures employ so many superlatives,
yet stop short Of e,kaggeratior, would
use many of them in describing the
Monte Vista, its luxury, its lavish
beauty of decoration, all of which is
in utmost good taste but mere news
paper writer, obsessed by sense of
his owp limitations and through his
intimate knowledge of western and
especially Arizonan caustic sense of
humor, is appalled, by it and flatly
lies down on the job. The new hotel
is whiz! It's a dandyl It's darned
sight better than we ever dreamed it
would be. It reflects credit on all
who had anything to do with design
ing, constructing, finishing and fur
nishing it. That's all. Furnish your
own superlatives from this point on.
Plenty of them will occur to all Of
you who have seen the Monte Vista.
The coffee shop opened Sunday
morning. The main dining room Sun
day noon. It is plainly to be seen
that the Monte Vista is going to be
a favorite meeting point and place
for social entertaining Of many Flag
staff people. Already many are plan
ming social functions there, private
dinners, dancing parties, and so on.
Fine! The hotel belongs to Flagstaff
and is just hankering for Flagstaff
people to use it.

They were unfortunate in leaving
a trail that the sharp-eyed minions
of the law spotted and followed
those three young Mexican lads who
last Friday night broke in the rear
door and burglarize3 Paul Rodri-
guez' grocery store.
Paul phoned the officers about four
Saturday morning that he had been
visited Deputy Sheriff Art Vandevier
ard City Marshal Justin r. Cooper
hurried out there. After looking
around some they noticed some chill
seeds outside near the front door:
Every step or so there were more
seeds. The trail continud for four
blocks, straight to the door of a house
at the rear of the armory
Stepping inside, the officers found
the three young men. Also three ten
gallon stills end hundred gallons
of mash.
The three promptly confessed. They
explained that their mash would not
be booze for three days and in the
meantime they had nothing to eat,
so they had made up that deficit by
relieving Paul Of 400 pounds ,,f flour
and a lot of canned and other food
stuffs. The men had more than pint
of keys of every description.
A loose slat in the bottom of box
of chill seed fixed the trail in this
modern method of playing fox and
geese.
The three burglars, Sanchez Isaac,
Max Ortiz and Bob Valencia were up
for preliminary hearing Tuesday af-
ternoon and Justice of Peace Harry
Richwine sent them back TO Jail in
default of bail.
