CHAMBER WILL MEET
ATLUNCHEON MONDAY

Realizing the Importance of secur-
ing closer cooperation and selling our
selves on Flagstaff as summer and
winter playground, the Chamber Of
Commerce board of directors decided
to hold luncheon rather than evening
meetings, as they feel that a larger
representation of the city's business
interests will be present at noon
meetings. So the next meeting OF
the chamber will be at Hotel Monte
Vista at 1915, Monday, May and
will adjourn promptly at 1:3G. Let
ters to all members were mailed We'd
nesday enclosing return postcard
for a luncheon reservation ard many
returns have already been received.
There is something chummy about
meeting around the proverbial board
that cannot be found In any other
manner and for that reason the cham
Der has changed its mode of meeting
to that of luncheon, twice monthly.
MONDAYS meeting will be a May
dav luncheon" and Judging bly, previ-
Gus chamber functions, will run true

BETTER HOMl
HAD MANY l
AN INTEREST
STOP ON FISHING
DURING SPAWNING SEASON

A local sportsman calls attention
to the waste of fish now going on at
Lake Mary.
The croppies have just begun to
spawn at the upper end of the lake,
which is the spot most favored by
fishemen just now. They bite readily
and practically everyone who has
been out there has caught all he cared
for. The worst feature of it is that
some are catching many more than
they want and leaving them on the
bank. One man left go fair sized
croppies on the bank one afternoon
last week after picking out few OF
the larger ones
If the season were closed until a
few weeks later, this sportsman says,
we would be assured of good fishing
at Lake Mary right along. But as 1T
is. he believes, in five years there
will be no fish there.
Our lakes are worth thousands Of
dollars season to us. Last week, for
instance, a West Virginia tourist ar
rived on his way to the coast, found
there was good fishing here and
arranged to stay for 10 days. An
Alabama tourist, on his way through,
heard about the fishing and is remain
ing here a month. We all know that
hundreds come every spring and sum-
mer from the south part of the state,
attracted here by the fishing. The
lakes are a greater attraction now
than Oak Greek, because Oak Creek is
kept SO nearly fished out. If the
lakes are fished out, Flagstaff will
lose one Of its strongest warm
weather attractions.

FLAGSTAFF HAS RAISED
$3.50 OF FLOOD QUOTA
BALANCE EXPECTED SOON

DIR. M. G.. Fronske, president local
branch Red Cross, on Tuesday sent a
check for $500 for Mississippi flood
relief, half the quota allotted to Flag
staff. The total in sight is $3.50 with
several outlying districts yet to be
heard from. Many in Flagstaff were
not reached during the drive but
everyone should consider that he is
personally asked to contribute to this
drive and make a point of leaving
contributions at either bank or at the
T. E. Pollock Investment company.
These additions will doubtless bring
Flagstaff's total up to its quota OF
$1,000.
DR.. e. S. Miller, vice-president of
the chapter, and other chapter of
ficers were indefatigable in their eff
forts to put over the drive with ex-
pedition. The work was organized on
the basis that heads of various busi
nesses and other organizations were
asked to look after contributions from
their employees or people under their
supervision. The business district was
solicited by Loren Cress, w. III. Swift
ger, Sid Gassman, Joe Rickel, Ted
Spencer and Walter Dickinson. Tables
were maintained in the post office, j.
G. Penney, Pay N Takit and Babbitt
Brothers stores under supervision of
Mrs. Forest Aver, secretary. By con-
sent of Miss Mary Costigan appeals
were made from the Orpheum plat
form.
Every cent given goes to those who
need it. All money raised for disas-
ter relief, such as this, is spent ex-
clusively for work of relief and re-
Mobilization in the district for which
it is raised. None of this is used for
overhead or salaries. The matter of
collection and supervision Of relief is
entirely voluntary work.

REIMBURSEMENT OF LOCAL
LIGHT RATES BEING MADE

G. T. Harrington, general manager
of the Flagstaff Electric Light COM
pany and Frank Goodman, city engi-
neer, returned Thursday from con-
ference at Phoenix with j. F. Wilson,
the state corporation commission en-
gineer
This conference was held at the re-
quest of Flagstaff city council to dis
cuss the matter of the Flagstaff light
ing rates. It appeared that the net
earnings of the Flagstaff Electric
Light company were below the limit
allowed by the commission, but the
suggestion was made that partial
remodeling of the rates, for the pur-
pose Of ironing out some apparent in
equalities, might be advisable. A
study of rates and local conditions is
to be made Immediately both by the
light company and city council, and it
is probable that Mr.. Wilson viii be
called in, when sufficient progress has
been made, to help reach a decision.
