Al SILK SALESWOMAN
SELLING RAG PAPER

Miss Ethel Chambers, the pretty
young lady who represents one Of the
most vital parts Of the interior work
ings Of the Phoenix branch Of the
famous Blake, Moffitt & Towne cor
poration Of paper constructors and
distributors, is spending recuper-
ative vacation in Flagstaff for a
couple weeks. Miss Ethel is equally
successful in selling herself and paper.
She has beautiful line Of bond and
blonde in delicate colors which nat
urally can't fade While we have not
as yet looked over her line of we'd
ding announcements, we are certain
the blotting paper she recommends is
so efficacious that it will mop up and
make impossible any Reno results.
1t is generally understood that the
very best matrimonial bond paper is
made Of rags. We very much approve
of Blake, Moffitt & Towne's new idea
of introducing saleswomen of silk.

INDIANS OF MANY TRIBES WILL BE- HERE
FAMOUS HOPI MARATHON RACERS ARE COMING
Company T. To
Go Into Camp On
Mexican Border

Company sI'', 158th Infantry, the
Flagstaff national guard company,
with headquarters at the large armory
on the opposite side of Milton Road
from the Northern Arizona Teachers
college, will establish camp on the
Fort Huachuca military reservation
about ten miles from the Mexican
border on August IL.
This camp, among the valleys and
mountains rich with wild game as well
as wild and beautiful scenery, will
continue for period of two weeks
from August II.
The company will leave Flagstaff
via the Santa Fe railroad in car of
its own and go to Phoenix; there the
company "I' car will be transferred
to the Southern Pacific railroad and
will pass through Casa Grande, Tue
son and Fairbanks on its way to the
United States government military
reservation near the Mexican border.
The round trip will involve a rail-
road journey of approximately seven
hundred miles.
The camp will be established in
Garden Canyon, beautiful site in
the Huachuca mountains, on the mill
ary reservation. Screened kitchens
and shower baths have already been
constructed for all of the companies
of the 158th Infantry that will as
semble there.
During the two weeks camp the
forenoons win be used for drill: but
in the afternoons the men will have
target shooting, baseball games,
swimming and other sports. On Sat
urday afternoons and Sundays the
men may make excursions into the
surrounding country.
This is an excellent opportunity for
men between the ages of 18 and 45
years of age to take an exceptional
two weeks vacation with all expenses
paid and in addition to receive the
national guard pay which amounts to
about two dollars per day.
Company 81" has vacancies for
about twenty-five men for this trip.
Those who are desirous of taking
the trip should see Captain John Mat
thews at the Tissaw Electric Shop, II
e Aspen Ave-, or telephone No. 395.
They should see Captain Matthews
or telephone him as soon as possible
so that he may be able to make all
arrangements for transportation and
all other details for the accommoda-
tion and comfort of the men.

Plan 1928 Pageant
For Grand Canyon

The plan to produce the Grand
Canyon pageant in the summer of
1923 is meeting with great enthusiasm
in the northern part of the state.
Mrs. Katherine McRae, of Coolidge,
is general manager of the Arizona
Pageantry association, under whose
ouspices the pageant at the Grand
Canyon is to be produced.
Tt is the present plan Of the ass0-
citation to hold the pageant either in
June or July, 1928, at the Grand
Canyon national park. The organiza-
tion plans to form an association of
men in the northern part of the state
to assume the sponsibilities of the
pageant in the same manner that an
association was formed in the south
ern part of the state to sponsor the
first Arizona pageant at the Casa
Grande ruins.
The association also proposes to
build a second Indian village at the
Grand Canyon similar to the one that
is being planned for the Casa Grande
ruins that the art and architecture of
the Arizona Indians may be perpet-
uated at the Grand Canyon. Chris
Totten, chief of the Smold dancers of
Prescott has offered the cooperation
of the Sn1olzi dancers in the work.
The officials of the Santa Fe rail
road have accepted the plan, Mrs
McRae states, and it is hoped that
soon plans will be under way for this
second state pageant. 1t is the aim
to make the Grand Canyon pageant
an annual affair.

City's Police Court
Takes In S3,852 In
Fines Past s Months

Police Magistrate Clarence T. Pull
liam for the first six months of this
year handed out fines to law vio-
lators amounting to 1882. Accord
ing to Magistrate Pulliam this is
probably the largest amount of fines
collected in any six months in the
city's history. The large total was
brought about by the $500 fines
handed out violators of the city's IL
quor ordinance. Two other cases
which netted the city over $500 were
for gambling. All of the fines are
placed in the city's general fund.
Justice Of Peace Harry Richwine
handed in his report for the first half
of 1927 and the criminal fines col
lected amounted to $525 and civil case
fees to $142.25. Of the criminal cases
$50 was derived from the fining of
man for the unlawful shooting Of
deer and S125 for fishing without Ii
cenSeS.

STATE POLITICIAN Is
HURT WHEN CAR TURNS
OVER NEAR THIS CITY

Louis Whitney, chairman of the
state democratic committee and a
well-known Phoenix lawyer was Sc
verely bruised and crushed when the
car in which he was riding turned
turtle on the Old Trails highway
about nine miles this side Of Williams
was driven by Larry Howe, son of
mission. Mr.. Howe suffered few
minor bruises and cut on his face.
Mr.. Whitney was brought to the
Mercy hospital by passing motorists
and given medical attention. He is
still confined to that institution, but
will probably be released soon.
The two men were on their way
from Phoenix to Grand Canyon in Mr..
Whitney's car to spend over the
Fourth. On rounding curve the ma
chine struck some loose gravel and
was thrown out of control, plunging
over small embankment and turn
ing over. Mr.. Howe was thrown clear
of the car. But for this fact Mr..
Whitney would probably have been
crushed to death as the weight Of the
car rested on his chest. Mr. Howe
succeeded in lifting the car enough
for the stricken man to pull himself
partly out, but not far enough to get
clear. Mr.. Whitney was forced to re-
main under the car with the door
resting across his legs for nearly a
half hour, when passing motorists
helped to extricate him. The car was
righted and towed into Flagstaff
Both Of the men consider themselves
most fortunate that they came out of
the accident as we'll as they did. The
machine was badly wrecked and it will
take several hundred dollars to get it
back into running shape.

noted the great improvements there
within the last few months. Concrete
sidewalks, improvement of lawns

Most Fascinating"
Spot is Discovered

The most fascinating spot on earth,
according to D. Moreau Barringer,
Jr., writing in the current issue of the
Scientific American, is a hole four
fifths of mile in diameter and 445
feet deep not far from Flagstaff,
where a meteorite has plowed itself
into the earth. More meteorites have
fallen in the vicinity of this hole than
at any other place on the earth's sur
face, the author says. Excavations and
drillings have been made in the hole
in an attempt to locate the meteorite.
Attempts so far have not been sue
cessful, although there is every indi-
cation that the meteorite may be found
at depth of approximately 1900 feet,
the author says.

Round Butte
About sixty miles below the mouth of
Musselshell river, along the shores of big
Muddy" is one of the famous landmarks
of the Upper Missouri river region. Round
Butte rests OF a long, rough, steep ridge
extending southwark from the river,
gradually sloping upward until 1t merges
in the level of a high plateau. For many
miles above and below, Round Butte is
plainly outlined before the traveller, It's
steep sides as symmetrical as the Egyp-
ton pyramids. The passing of the years
have seemed to make no impression upon
the remarkable formation, and 1T stands
much the same today as it did two CEN
turtles ago when the first explorers first
trekked past its base.
Years ago the sharp crest of this butte,
covered us 1t was with a sparse growth
of juniper and stunted pine, was a ia
vorite lookout for the war parties of
different tribes of Indians. Even today,
one may see upon its summit a circular
pile Of rocks two or three feet high,
lined with decayed brush, where warriors
sat sheltered from the winds. A distant
column of smoke rising from some grove
of cottonwood or willow, the sudden
dash and scurry Of a band Of antelope or
the stampede of buffalo, the fash of oars
on the Uver-all these were noted by
the anticipating tribesmen who jealousy
guarded their vast domain. Next to the
mouth of the Musselshell, where there
was a shallow ford, the vicinity Of Round
Butte was the most dangerous place on
the Missouri, SO far as hostile Indian
depredations were concerned sixty years
ago.
