LOcUg Sr5GtI Animals
Faig' Prize Winners

Caesara, formerly called Jimmie,
the pet porcupine belonging to Mar
garet and Arthur Pearson of Flag
staff, won the blue ribbon, first pre-
MUM 1t the Apache county fair. Her
owners are proudly displaying it,
though her ladysI1ip is not here, but
making the rounds of the county fairs
to finally appear at the state fair at
Phoenix. She is one Of a group of ami
mails displayed by Don Gilchrist, head
of the biological survey in Arizona.
Coconino county animals SO far have
never been defeated when entered by
the biological survey. Don takes
great pride in this feature of his work.
His only regret in connection with this
years display is that II is incomplete
due to the absence Of Bert Hoffman's
pet prairie dog.
Obeying the urge Of Mother Nature
one cold night he thought winter had
come, Bert's dog went under the house
to hibernate, utterly oblivious that
fame was again beckoning. Last year
he won first prize at the state fair
as the most interesting pct in this col
lection and was scheduled to appear
again against formidable contenders.
Still, he may yet be star Of this ag
gregation. Bert has cage all ready
so that if warm day should tempt
him out he will be sent to take his
rightful place in Coeonino eounty's ex-
hibit.
Nolstead is another Coconino county
prairie dog in this attractive display.
He was found three years ago on the
Campbell Francis ranch and taken to
Phoenix where ne stood two hot sum
mers like a veteran. Belonging to a
class of rodents not using water, he
remained true to his nature, refusing
all liquids and thus earned his name.
Two pet gophers from Maricopa
county made the dirt fly in their glass
houses at a great rate but not fass
enough to win over Coconino's porlSy.
Other members Of this interesting
colony were a cotton rat, member Of
the most prolific rodent family that
breeds seven times year and begins
to breed at the age Of three weeks;
a kangaroo rat, tiny nocturnal animal
built like kangaroo; and weasel
caught on Ben Doney's ranch and
mounted by Dean Eldridge.

Penneg's Style SIsotU
Proved Big Success

Congratulations were in order
Wednesday morning to the manage
ment of the J. C. Penney store in this
city for the success of the annual fall
style show at the Orpheum Tuesday
night, when over 800 people turned
out to see the latest in women's and
mems fall style creations. The show
was under the personal supervision of
Andy Miller, advertising manager of
the local store
The stage settings were beautiful
and tastefully arranged for the occa-
sion, one Of the features being large
book, painted to represent one of the
popular style magazines. Other stage
settings were equally in keeping with
the occasion and were painted and de-
signed by Mr.. Miller. Local people in
cluding several small children were
models.
The success of this years show has
encouraged the management to hold
another style showing next spring
'sThe Count Of Luxembourg" an ex-
cellent moving picture, was also fea-
ture of the show

SMITHSONIAN BUILDING
MUSEUM AT CANYON

Smithsonian Institute is building a
handsome stone museum on the very
edge of Grand Canyon, south rim, at
Yavapai point, about a mile and a hall
east OF Ell Tovar hotel
The walls are going up rapidly
They are of native grey stone, very
substantial construction. The main
room is about so feet long by 25 deep,
the long side being next the canyon
At the rear will be living quarters for
the curator.
The museum will be devoted to
archaeological, geological and other
exhibits gathered in this section. The
building will be completed and many
specimens in place by the opening Of
the next tourist season.
An intensely interesting feature is
the erection of a stone monument in
the southwest corner of the main
room, built of rock taken from the
walls of the canyon, and showing, in
material and proportions the exact
rock formation from top to bottom Of
the gorge. The rocks representing
each stratum are taken from the cor
responding stratum in the canyon.

Hiram Club Held
Interesting Meet

After nearly months cessation Of
meetings in compliance with the sug-
gestions offered against the holding
of public gatherings there was de-
lightful renewal of activities of the
Hiram club with the first week of
the month This was witnessed espe-
cially by the beaming faces of the
members present and by the good
fellowship in evidence. Some few
members who had failed to arrange
for their presence there not only
missed much in that respect but also
failed to share in program of un-
usual merit and interest.
Walter Runke was chairman for the
day and the two speaking numbers
were filled by Mr.. Horn, associated in
the work of the u. S. biological sur
vey and by Prof. E. G. Class Of the
Teachers college.
Mr.. Horn in his talk gave a COM
prehensive outline of the work in his
department, its different branches and
activities, and how it had grown from
a small beginning to much greater
and more important proportions until
now it was filling and furnishing
large economical value and purpose in
the affairs Of our country whose bene-
fits could be reckoned in many thou
sands Of dollars annually. He also
referred to his particular line of work
in which he is associated at this time,
that OF porcupine control on national
forests. One striking statement he
made was that one supervisor Of a
Colorado national forest reported last
year that in the forest he has charge
of the damage caused by the lowly
"porky" was greater than that of
fires, tree diseases and all other para
sites in the forest.
Prof Class, already well known for
his very interesting and instructive
addresses, was in master form and
gave one of the best talks ever deliv-
cred before the club. He chose for his
subject 'Virility in the Character of
Man. In his talk Mr.. Glass devel-
oped the subject in manner which
could not help but impress every hear
er present. His thoughts and senti-
ment expressed were in each case sup
ported by quotations from poetry.
His reading Of Kipling's famous poem
s'If,' as well as his quotations from
Robert Burns, Robert L. Stevenson,
Browning and Tennyson were particu-
larly interesting and especially appre-
ciated.
The lighter and entertaining side
of the program was filled by Miss
Virginia Flickinger and Miss Helen
Runke, by the rendering of two beau
tiful piano duets.
The guests for the day were: Mr..

KAIPAB FAWNS BROUGHT
TOSOUTH RIM OF CANYON


Ten little Kaibab forest fawns were
brought by way of Lees Ferry by
motor truck to Grand Canyon national
park early Monday morning and now
are the admired objects of hundreds
of tourists and Grand Canyon resi-
dents, the latter including every child
there.
The youngsters, six does and four
bucks, are about two feet high. They
are sleek and fat, except one disgrace
ful looking little rascal who has not
finished shedding his coat and acts
ashamed
Tame Why step into the pen where
these fawns, captured only last week,
are kept and they'll come right up to
you, kiss your face if you ask them,
and as for cigarettes! Just give one
eff them, either sex, a cigarette, and
he OF she doesn't ask for match. He
or she just looks grateful apd happy
and chews and swallows it.
The whole thing is interesting.
The forest rangers on the north side
catch the fawns, using trained dogs
that knock them down, then hold
them down without biting. They are
Grated and sent across to this side.
The forest service charges $50
apiece for catching the fawns, being
paid by Grand Canyon national park.
Fred Harvey furnished the transpor-
tation to this side. They are being
distributed to Grand Canyon families
wanting them and agreeing to keep
them during the winter. They remain
the property Of the park and in the
spring, or later, as the families be-
come reconciled to the idea, will be
liberated into the forest. j. E. Shir-
ley had the lot in a small wire en-
closure near his home on Monday, ano
woven wire pens were being rapidly
constructed by dads importuned by
4 their children.
1t is believed this experiment viii
prove in every way successful, for tht
faWns came through the ordeals Of
I capture and transportation in fine
| shape Next fall, if the experiment
more will be brought over and handled
in the same way until eventually, it i
/ believed, the park forest on this side
will be well stocked with these at
tractive animals.
They are not so nara TO eaten over
there. NJ. r. Tillotson, superintendent
/ Grand Canyon national park, caught
ona with his hands not long ago.
There arc a good many mountain
sheep ia the park, though they are SC
shy they are seldom seen, and alsc
quite number of antelope. The deer
I however, if transplanting them to this
side is a success, will in time become
the greatest wild life attraction, be
cause they are less wild than the sheer
and antelope.

Bob Abeyta Being Held
For Stabbing Mexican

Bob Abeyta, q Mexican, is being
held in county pail pending the re-
covery of another Mexican named
Morales, whom he stabbed.
The affray was the result of brawl
in a place on South San Francisco
street Morales was stabbed in the
abdomen and it was thought for a
time his wound might prove fatal.
He was treated at Mercy hospital
and it is said his recovery is almost
certain unless complications set in.
Morales has given officers to under
stand that he viii in all probability
not file against Abeyta and will con-
slider the whole matter in the light
of a gentlemen's affair.
Abeyta for the past year and a
half was employed by the CONNER
cial Cafe, which had the contract for
feeding the prisoners in the county
Jail, and it was his duty to carry the
two meals a day to the jail. He said,
"I have been in this jail hundred
times, but it certainly is different
feeling to be on the other end of the
grub line"

will go to Mesa today and meet Mesa
high school on the gridiron tomorrow

From all indications the frosh will
give a good account Of themselves in
the Mesa game. Bill Stevens, brother
of Captain "Hoddy" Stevens of the
varsity squad will captain the frosh.
The frosh have been in regular
training since the opening of train

TEACHERS AND PHOENIX
JUNIORS In AN 90 TIE

Flagstaff Teachers college and
Phoenix Junior college played to a
scoreless tie Saturday in a hard fought
football game here.
Flagstaff twice came within six
inches of scoring. Captain Hoddy
Stevens ran the ball two-thirds Of the
length Of the field for a touchdown,
which was disallowed because at one
point he had been crowded just over
the bounds line. In the last quarter
Zaner carrying the ball in line plunges
was downed for the fourth time with
in six inches Of the. goal line.
Flagstaff kept the ball in Phoenix
territory most of the time, forcing the
latter to play on the defensive and re-
sort to frequent kicks. Stevens and
zaner starred for Flagstaff.
Flagstaff,s morale was broken
early in the. first quarter when they
fumbled on the five yard line after
completing yardage Of half the length
of the field on successive downs.
Junior college, unable to penetrate
the Flagstaff line, resorted TO a strict
" defensive game, punting the ball
time after time and getting down to
tackle the receiver in his tracks. It
was smart football.
Coach Lavik's heavy eleven ad-
vanced down the field by straight
football repeatedly but when within
scoring distance would lose the ball
through fumbling or because Of the
stubborn Bear defense.
At no time did the Bears threaten
in the Teachers territory, but their
remarkable defensive work stopped
Flagstaff no less than six times when
gain Of inches would have meant
scores or a first down.
Flagstaff swept through Junior col
lege for II first downs, while the
Bears made five, largely accounted for
by long forward passes. Teachers
lacked the punch to put over a score

ARTISTS PLEASE
AUDIENCE WITH
FINE PROGRAM
BY OLGA COSTELLO

To an appreciative audience gath
cred in the charming recital hall of
Imperial Valley Conservatory OF
Music last evening Elmer A. Todd
presented two artists, r. Morley
Harvey, pe-organist, and George
Ballentine, lyric tenor.
That the conservatory organ is
indeed noble Instrument was
again clearly demonstrated in Mr..
Harvey S program which began
with the overture to Thomas opera
Mignon.' The many lovely and
familiar airs played with spirit and
taste made an effective opening
number. The organist, though play
ing on a strange instrument, gave
admirably smooth and effective per
formanccs of ali his selections but
one which particularly pleased the
audience was Il stately Prelude and
Fugue by Garrett written around
the old English carol, Good King
WcnccSlas.
No less proficient upon the piano
than at the organ Mr.. Harvey offer
ed n modern piano group comprising
n Romancc' by Sibelius, 1.-TWO
Arabcsducs by Debusscy, and a
Rondo in f flat (Hummcl-F Fried
man. There is no doubt that clar
ity rather than subtletv of tone was
emphasized here, however, Mr.. Har-
vey's interpretations were interest
ing and called forth sincere ap-
plausc to which he responded with
the Chopin y Flat Major waltz,
No. 9.
George Ballcntine has small but
pleasing voice and he sang charm
insly his group of American songs.
"Myra' by George tiutsam and
SCOTS Within the Garden Of My
Heart Several popular Italian
street songs were done with de
bonair sprightliness but the 18th
century Italian classics demand a
warmth of tone and y smoothness
of technique that the singer did not
possess. Sympathetic Interpretation
and excellent enunciation, however
characterized all his work.

and piano accompaniments.
