When Dogs Are Real
Plentiful, George,
Why Use a Finger?

George Rickel was sure disgusted
with his mental resource which, out OF
a whole grocery store and meat mar
ket, when he lost his balance, could
suggest but one place to put the index
finger of his left hand-into the hop
per of the electric grinder in action.
Afterward as be sat in the doctors
office coddling his bruised member, he
said that he could think Of lots OF
better places to grab when he fell.
He's going to try to remember them
next time the sawdust skids under him
as he rushes about trying to wait on
several customers at once.
No, you needn't mind buying his
sausage. He did have enough
presence of mind to pull out his finger
before it contributed to the meat
department, though it sure did get
some squeeze.

SPECIAL MEETING OF CITY
COUNCIL WILL BE HELD
TO DISCUSS LIGHT RATES

A special meeting Of city council
will be held Monday night to confer
with George T. Harrington, manager
Of the local light company, in regard
to light and heat rates, it was decided
at the regular session Of council last
Monday night.
Mr.. Harrington has been asked by
council to bring the necessary rate
charts and graphs to show the kind
Of service Flagstaff is getting and
also to explain the rates that are
being charged local consumers.
The point on which most criticism
is centered seems to be the 19 cent
rate for the first block Of current.
Mr.. Harrington told a Sun reporter
yesterday that while it is undoubtedly
true that the first block of current is
high, the other blocks are too low.
A block, under the resident rate, he
says, consists of IL kiiowatt hours,
In the case of home owner, the first
II kilowatt hours cost 19 cents, the
second II only 10 cents and any cur
rent over that amount six. cents.
1.-THE only way to make an equit-
able adjustment would be to lower the
first block to Is cents" said Mr..
Harrington. "The next block would
then be raised to IL or 13 cents with
any current over that amount being
charged at the rate Of seven or eight
cents. In reality the users of current
would be paying about the same
amount but the charges would be
more equally distributed"

CENTRAL COMMERCIAL
WAREHOUSE BROKEN
INTO SATURDAY NIGHT

An unknown person or persons early
Sunday morning entered the local
warehouse of the Central Commercial
company and made away with goods,
the exact amount of which will not be
known until an inventory is taken. 1t
is said by Shelby Lewis, representing
the company, that sugar, coffee and
flour were the principal stocks ran
sacked and it may turn out that some
feed was also taken. The fact that
been stored in the building few days
prior to the robbery makes computa-
tion of the loss hard.
Clyde Thompson, an employe of the
company, reported the robbery to the
sheriff's office Sunday morning, aft
er finding one of the doors leading to
the warehouse standing open. Under
sheriff d. L. Mckinney and Ed
Raudebaugh, finger print expert,
were detailed on the case by Sheriff
J. o. Parsons. Although information
was found which showed how entrance
was gained to the building, the in
vestigators discovered no tangible
clues with which to seek the guilty
ones.
Entrance was gained through a
small window, 10 feet from the
ground and over the spur track which
runs to the CentraPs unloading plat
forms. To get to the window the
looters used a four by four piece of
lumber and "shimmied" up it to the
window ledge. Boot marks of the
climber were noticeable on the pole,
the sheriff's men said.
According to Under-sheriff McKin-
ney, the work was evidently an inside
job, as the window had been sfixed"
in advance, making it simple matter
to shove it out. With the exception
Of this one window, all the rest Of its
kind are cleated, but the one in ques-
tion was held by only two nails. One
of the nails, the evidence shows, has
been pulled out prior to the robbery.
That the window was not broken to
unfasten the nails is certain as no
glass was found directly under the
opening, but was some distance away,
showing that it had broken from the
frame on striking the floor.
After getting into the building it
was a small matter to open door
and make away with the loot. 1t is
possible, according to Mr.. Lewis, for
a truck load of goods be removed
without noticeable trace, providing the
burglars were careful not to take
more than a few Of each article. As
there is a concrete platform under
the door through which the goods
were supposed to have been taken, no
information concerning the type Of
vehicle used for transportation could
be ascertained.

ARIZONA TOURS ASKS
RIGHT TO SCHEDULE
FLAGSTAFF TOURS


r. P. McGarvin of Phoenix, presi-
dent Arizona Tours, Inc, and Vice
president Of the Pickwick auto stage
lines, accompanied by his son and
Mr.. Rogers, a wealthy retired New
Jersey business man, spent Friday
and Saturday here.
Mr.. McGaryin has applied 20 the
state corporation commission for a
permit to operate an automobile bus
line on regular schedule to various
scenic points in this section, with
Flagstaff as the focal point, and if
his application is granted will es-
tablish all-the-year- round office here
He plans bringing one or more of the
big Arizona Tours busses and a fleet
of seven passenger cars heres The
first regular daily trip scheduled
would be to and from Mormon Lake
and another would be the Oak Greek
Canyon -Schnebley Hill loop.
Mr.. McGarvin was the pioneer Of
the California-El Paso auto bus line
and has been successfully engaged in
that line of work ever since. His Ari-
zona Tours, operating on daily
schedule in the south part of the state
is too well known to need description
here. He probably has done as much
as any one man in southern Ari-
zona to advertise and popularize the
scenic points there. He has per-
manent offices in both the Adams and
the Arizona hotels, Phoenix.

South Side Business
Place May Be Placed
Behind Lock BY City

s'The march of the undesirables'
was sung Tuesday morning by Police
Magistrate Clarence Pulliam and to-
day the population of Flagstaff is
materially lessened. "Get out of town
or spend the next 80 days in Jail, = was
the edict issued by Pulliam, and they
"got Out"
The trouble started when City Mar
shall ]. R Cooper and Night Marshal
Claude Tackitt raided the store Of
Charley Escoto Saturday night and
found a bottle of moonshine and then
turned around and cleared out house
of i'll repute, which it is charged he
rented to two women. Besides the
women, two men were also placed
under arrest. Judge Pulliam Tues
day ordered the women and one Of
the men to leave town while the
fourth was sentenced to 30 days at
hard labor for violation of previous
warning to leave town and stay out.
Escot was given suspended sem
tence of so days until such time as the
city council may meet and pass judge
ment as to whether his place OF busi-
ness shall be padlocked as public
nuisance. 1t is said that this is Es-
coto's third appearance before Magls-
trate PlIlliam.

MORE PROSPERITY FOR THIS COUNTY
Well Don't Worry, Folks, About the City Park
Camp Grounds; For It's All up to You, Anyway

brought many people here to stay
from week to several months who
but for the fine Accommodations af-
forded would hurry through. I'M
questionably, the additional revenue
to business here through the camp
ground and cottages has been in
creased many thousand dollars every
year.
The first cottages were built at the
instance of army authorities who
wished to bring former soldiers here
for vocational training and who,
because there was insufficient hous-
ing facilities here, said that men could
not come unless the city built cottages
for them. The men brought here that
year, attended Normal school, and
spent lot of money with the busi-
ness houses.
Since then, many new cottages
have been built, and have readily
rented. 1t is possible that were they
not rented to tourists, students and
instructors here at summer school
would, if they were permitted, rent
most or all of them during the 10
weeks summer school. Already
requests are coming in from men who
are to teach here during summer
Shool for park cottages.
1t is doubtful if the cottages have
in any way interferred with the rent
ing of rooms by local hotels or private
house owners. AS was the case four
and five years ago, last summer there
was not sufficient housing here for
the people who desired to spend the
summer here; and, in view of the fact
that the number of people coming
here for short and long vacations in
creases each year, it is unlikely that
the time will ever come when we have
more housing in summer than needed
to care for our visitors.
The Coconino sun., 1927-04-15

Regarding the proposal made to
buy the cottages in Flagstaff city
camp ground anr conduct the busines
thereafter, nothing was done at the
last regular meeting of council, Mon
day, except to ask that definite
proposition to council by the 18th of
this month.
The Sun last week in speaking Of
the proposed sale gave the impression
that the camp ground is losing
proposition.
While is has not been conducted for
the purpose Of making money, it has
made money. The operation Of the
tourist camp ground until the cottages
were built was at loss to the city.
During the first four years of oper-
alton the camp-ground business re-
mained in the red. Since building the
cottages, and especially since the
beginning of the 1926 tourist season,
when additional cottages were built,
the biggest part of the income from
the park has been from the cottages.
Since June, 1926, beginning Of the
present fiscal year, to date, the
revenue from the cottages and camp
ing privileges at the park has been
$4,000 in round figures. The ex-
penditures part of which was to
equip the new cottages and some Of
the remainder for other improvements
in the park have been $500.
Aside from whether the camp
ground and cottages pay net profit
to the city treasury, however, there is
another side that must be considered
in gauging their value to Flagstaff
Without them Flagstaff's bushes in
come during the summer camping
seasons would have been a great deal
less. Known as by the best city tour
ist camp ground along the National
Old Trails highway, the camp has

"Bill' Harrison Won
Oratorical Contest

William Harrison, son OF Attorney
and Mrs. Frank Harrison, won the
decision Friday night in the local
elimation event Of the annual inter-
national oratorical contest on the
constitution of the United States,
which was held in the high school
auditorium.
Since none of the other five counties
of this district sent entries, it is likely
that William win represent the north
ern district in the state elimation at
Tucson, May 4, the winner of which
will represent Arizona in the district
meet at Los Angeles in June.
The judges-Dr. NJ. G. Fronske,

HAIGHT, EHAM AND
BROWNING PROMOTED
BY ARIZONA CENTRAL

Ed A. Haight, cashier Arizona
Central bank, was elected vice-presi-
dent, and Charles w. Isham and Fred
E. Browning were made assistant
cashiers last Friday at a meeting of
the directors Of the Arizona Central
bank.
Mr.. Haight in addition to his new
duties as vice-president, retains his
former position of cashier.
Joe P. Wilson, who recently re-
Gently resigned the presidency,
was reelected director.
Mr.. Isham, who for several years
has had charge of the insurance busi-
ness at the bank, will move to a desk
at the front, near Mr.. Haight's, and
help the latter with his work. He will
continue to take care of the insur-
ance end of the business.
Mr.. Browning, who came to the Ari-
zona Central several years ago from
the Citizens bank, when the two in
stitutions were merged, and who has
been teller, will care for the work
that was done until two months ago
by P. H. Nelson, who resigned to be-
come a partner in a bank at Altadena,
Calf.
These promotions, as the friends
and acquaintance of the men know,
are well deserved, and they are in line
with the policy of the management
to make promotions whenever possi-
BILE from among the employees rather
than to go outside of the present per-
sonnel for men.
All of the men mentioned are rich
in the many friendships they possess
and recognition by the directors of
their value to the institution cannot
fail to make that institution more
popular than ever.
j. c. McClung, president of the Ari-
zona Central and it's branches at
Kingman, Oatman, Williams and Nc
Nary, and Carl J. Walters, manager
Of the Kingman branch, were here for
the meeting, which was attended by
G, B. Wilson, J. P. Wilson and Mr..
Haight, local directors.

LOCAL AIaERIGAN LEGION
TO PUT ON BIG DRIVE FOR
INCREASING MEMBERSHIP

Concentrating all efforts on a 10
day drive for new members, the local
American Legion unit will attempt to
reinforce the present small enrolment
and come to The front as one of the
largest and best organizations for the
size of the city in Arizona.
In order to accomplish this, Com
mander Ray Prochnow has asked that
all eligible Legion members be pres
ent at meeting to be held IN the
court house next Wednesday night.
Plans will be formulated for an in
tensive drive and to work up the nec-
essary spirit. According to Com
mander Pr0chnow, the local. Legion is
not In the running with other units
in the state, as for instance, our
neighboring city of Williams has 81
members, while Flagstaff has only
81.
The committee in charge Of the
"eats" and entertainment is Mike
Ginsberg, Major ]. B. Wright and
Charles Nichols.
At the last regular meeting of the
local unit, held Wednesday night at
the court house, the members had an
opportunity to hear their state COM
nander, Val DeCamp, talk on Ameri-
can Legion ideals and its place in the
welfare of the United States.
In explaining the position of the
organization, Commander DeCamp
said that the American Legion has to
draw its membership from every class
of Individual comprising the heart of
this great nation-from the poorest,
most illiterate, to the brainiest pro-
fessional and business men in every
walk of life. ssTn such cosmopoli-
tan group" said the state command
er, Ait is obvious that the control of
the organization may be sought by
any group. 1t is direct challenge to
the ex-service man. He must decide
on the policies of the organization,
whether or not such policies are
sound or whether the organization
shall be devoted to selfish ends"
In closing his talk, the speaker
warned the Legion members that they
must make the organization in the
community and state an outstanding
one and not Outstanding one. Let
the public know what you are doing,
he said, and endeavor to keep above
local and petty difficulties. Adopt and
work for policies that are fundamen-
tally sound, and your Organization
will grow and prosper"

NEW u. P. HOTEL AND
MUCH ROAD BUILDING
NORTH RIM OF GRAND
CANYON THIS SUMMER

That the Union Pacific railroad
company will at once begin construc.
tion of $650,000 hotel on the north
rim of Grand Canyon, and that the u
S. bureau of public roads will this
summer build a $228,000 road along
the north rim from Bright Angel
point west to Port Royal, was the
word brought back the first of the
week from Grand Canyon by Major
]. B. Wright, county engineer, who
spent the weekend there in confer
ence with several government and
other officials.
In the party were Chief Engineer
Jones of the Union Pacific, DIR,
Hughes of the bureau of public roads,
Horace Albright, assistant to- the di-
rector of national parks, Major Nor
rison and Mr.. Wallace of the bureau
of public roads, Mr.. Eakin and Mr.. Til
lotson of Grand Canyon national
park.
The new hotel will be reached by
stage line. from the Union Pacific at
Cedar Point, Utah.
Water for the hotel will be pumped
from 5000 feet below the rim.
The bureau Of public roads engi-
neers will this spring make prelim-
mary survey Of a new route from Lees
Ferry through House Rock valley,
around north of the Buckskin noun
tains to Kanab, Utah. This, when
built will be year-around route. The
present road from Lees Ferry to FIRE.
donia is over the Buckskin mountains
and because of snow is closed in win
ter. While the new route will not be
as scenic, it viii afford easier travel
and viii be comparatively free from
snow.
The bureau of public roads will this
year build a $4,000 approach road
from Fredonia south to the new hotel.
North of Fredonia in this county to
the Utah state line is about three and
q half miles which requires work, and
Major Wright says undoubtedly the
county supervisors viii authorize the
work done this summer. 1t viii cost,
he said, less than thousand dollars.
