and interesting Indian country. 1t
would tap the Mexican Hat oil field
and make Flagstaff its trading CEN
ter It would afford the shortest and
best route from southern Arizona to
the states north of us, and for those
bound from north to south. 1t would,
because OF it's scenic value and the
nearer centers of population north be
much more travelled than the Lees
Ferry ,highwav will be following the
completion of the Grand Canyon
bridge at Lees Ferry. Finally, it,
would add another spoke to the great
highway wheel of which Flagstaff is
the hub.
Mr.. Walker said his chief interest
in getting this new road built is be-
cause he believes good roads, bringing
the Indians in closer touch with the
civilization of the white people, will
be of great benefit to the Indians.
"Our Indians are intelligent" he said.
aThey respond very quickly to at
tcrnpts to make them more progress
sive.o He told how he has at numer-
Gus times taken Indians around to see
what white people are doing, and the
beneficial results. Along the line Of
economic progress, he said they are
being induced generally to give up
their flocks Of useless ponies and to-
replace them with cattle and sheep.
Mayor /. B. Koch, in.connection with
the plan to encourage the building OF
concrete curbs and cutters along our
unpaved streets said the city will be
districted and petitions taken around
for the signatures of those who wish
to build curbs and cutters along their
street fronts. He said the aim is to
make the Improvement cooperative, 1t
being the hope that most of the prop
erty owners will realize the great
value Of the improvement and be glad
to make it.
Dir. A. J. Mackey outlined plan to-
organize Flagstaff motorcade to
visit the south part of the state the
latter part of this month or first OF
next, to get acquainted and to sell the
| idea Of Flagstaff and its wonderful
summer climate to those who will go
elsewhere during part Of the summer
| to escape the heat. Another motor
| cade under consideration, he said, is
! to Mormon Lake, where perhaps q
barbecue will be held for the summer
residents at the lake to let them know
we appreciate their coming north for
| the summer.

lmittee on a national hospital for

probability Of the hospital locating
here, the committee not feeling that it
could afford to advance the $4,000, as
requested. He said that the committee
had promised, however, that If the as
sociation sponsoring the hospital plan

lto insure the hospital being built,

ornithology; this was an obsession
with him and he was as much inter-
ested in his collections as he was In
his business affairs.
His home in Chicago became cele-
brated throughout the country be-
cause of his collections. One room
was furnished entirely with Navajo
fabrics and the fireplace being con-
structed Of fine specimens Of petri
fled wood.
Mr.. Aver had an intense desire to
see developed in Chicago museum
which would excel in size, if not in
Importance, the British museum. He
set his heart on this with the result
that he secured from Marshall Field,
after the close of the Chicago ex-
position, a gift of Sl,000,000 to be
applied to the establishment OF q
museum in Chicago. One who knew
him says: II remember distinctly his
telling Of his interview with Mr. Field
and of Fields insistence upon having
his name attached to the museum.
A start was made on the museum
with Mr.. Aver as president and it de-
veloped with him, always as president,
to its present proportions. His col
lection of Americana and works on
ornithoIogy were all turned over to
the Field museum to be made avail
able to the public.
All old timers in Flagstaff will re-
member Mr.. Aver distinctly, as well
as Mrs. Aver and their daughter,
Elizabeth, who married DIR. Frank S.
johnson, prominent Chicago physician.
Among the first houses built in
Flagstaff was Mr.. Ayers home, near

DIR. H. S. COTTON HAS
OPTION M'MILLAN RANCH

DR.. Harold S. Cotton is planning to
materially increase his Flagstaff
holdings by the purchase of the Nc
MILAN place adjoining on the north
his country estate, Coyote Range.
He has an agreement with Tommy
Mcmillan for an option, for several
weeks, on his ranch If he closes the
option, and he has every expectation
Of doing so, he will add 280 acres to
his country property north OF town.
Mr. Mcmillan will retain POSSESSION
until fall when his crops are har-
vested.
The Mcmillan homestead is one Of
the original homesteads of the COM
munity, taken up in the early days by
Tom Mcmillan, who came TO Flagstaff
among the first settlers. It comprises
the tract Of land bounded by the city
reservoir, country club, Switzer mesa,
Ft Valley boulevard and DR.. Colton's
estate on the south. Much of it is
under cultivation and a large portion
is well timbered and Of great beauty.
All but a small acreage is on the east
side of the road. Hayes Weidner
recently bought two acre plot across
the road from the house.
Everyone knows the large old home
building beside the spring. Upon this
ranch is one of the finest springs in
the county, by many believed TO be
the original San Francisco spring of
legends. There are other springs
also; in fact it is more abundantly
supplied with springs than any other
ranch near here.
DR.. and Mrs. Cotton and son ar
rived recently from Redlands, where
they spent the winter, and will stay
here until the late fall DR.. Cotton,
who is head of a department at the
University of Pennsylvania, last year
was on a leave of absence. He has
lust received a years extension, most
of which he will spend here. He
passed through here for the first time
in 1912 but it was several years later
before he spent the summer here, IN
1916. At that time he. spent his time
doing research work for the bureau
of ethnology of Smithsonian lnstl-
tute. His findings will be out soon
in bulletin form. Keenly interested
in the historical background, he IS
accommodating material for book on
this section. This summer he will
devote most of his time to the study
of zoology. He is having built IN the
trees back of his home workshop
and studio. Pete Solberg is doing
the building for him.
The studio is for Mrs. Cotton, who
has many beautiful paintings, done
while her husband carried on his work.
Several Of her desert views are
particularly happy in their intei'pre-
tation. Of our unique scenic at'mos-
phere. She did some fine work last
winter while in Redlands. y is
hoped that there may be an exhibition
Of her paintings soon, as they are
scheduled for exhibition in the east by
Philadelphia art club of which she
| is member.
Mr.. Solberg will also construct a
bungalow nearby for Mr.. and Mrs:
Robert Wilson of Pittsburg, who will
be here for the summer. Mrs. Wilson
| is Mrs. Colton's sister.

the mill, long known as the White
house, and still occupied. 1t stands
on the highest point of ground near
the mill, so called because it was un-
painted and could be seen a long
distance. Mr.. Aver and family oc-
cupied the White house when they
were in Flagstaff, which was once or
twice q gcar.
Among early settlers who came to
Flagstaff with Mr.. Aver were Mr.. and
Mrs. A. A. Dutton Mrs. Dutton
being a cousin of Mr.. Ayers Mrs.
Ike Wheeler and Charles Dutton now
of Kingman and Mrs. G. H. Coble now
Of Redlands, Calf.
Mr.. Aver was man of tremendous
force, restless and resistless. He was
completely at home with all classes
of people, with the working man quite
as well as with the banker and the
scholar. He had the highest ideals
and recognized the value of the ir-
tellectual much more perhaps than
mere financial things.
His influence in any community was
always great and whatever he put
his hands to developed to sure success.
Always interested in Flagstaff and
it's people, for many years after he
severed his business relations he re-
sponded to every request for help.
Many old-timers will recall that the
first fire equipment was his gift and
the first volunteer hose company was
called the Eddie Aver company.
Funeral services will be conducted
tomorrow afternoon at the Little
Church Of the Flowers, Glendale.
Burial will be in Harvard, Ill.

Opening : attendance crowds
that bordered around the half
million mark showed clearly that
the winter baseball scandals failed
to dampen the interest in the
game.
For after all is said. the inter-
est is still there and the season
bids fair to be the most prosper
GUS in the history of the game.
As whole, the teams are play
Ing as expected from the pre-sea-

playing consistently good ball. and
the Athletics, by being smothered

Reds have furnished the little up
Gets OF the opening two weeks.
At the top of the two leagues
are the Yankees and the Pirates.
The Pirates, doped the favorite for
the flag in the older circuit, seem
to have every ounce of strength
predicted for them. The Yankees
have murdered all opposing pitch
ers under a veritable barrage of
hits from their sluggers to win.
'Tis early yet, and many things
can happen, but playing of the
Phillies and Braves, If they con-
tinue to be troublesome, will make

than at first predicted. The Reds,
Cards and Giants, all trouble
makers, are still favored to fight
1t out with the Pirates for the
pennant.
Arcnough the Yankees have set
the pace to date, the Athletics are
still ranked as the best shot at
the pennant, with the Tigers as
the best dark-horse. The other
clubs. with the exception of Bos-
ton. that has already settled in

easy for the leaders.

MES, Silas II. Strawn, president Of the
American Bar Association, proclaimed
here last night, largely are controlled
by lawyers. Mr.. Strawn spoke before
the Illinois State Bar Association at
its annual mid year meeting.
The national bar head pointed to
the prominence of lawyers in public
life as proof of their importance in
communities, citing that 21 of the %
Presidents were disciples of Black
stone.
"a very large proportion Of the
members of our Congress and or our
several State legislatures are now, and
always have been, lawyers" Strawn
added. He denied assertions of carp
ing critics. that the bar is losing its
influence or that changing conditions
have made the practitioners Of his
profession less careful students of the
law or poorer citizens.
II submit we must know more law,
more business, more politics and more
about what is going on in the world
than did the old lawyer"
The world looks to the United

concluded Strawn, and 1.-The responsi.

AMERICAN REPORTED
RESCUED IN MEXICO
Wife of Man kidnapped by Bandits
Is Notified Ransom Has
Been Paid.
By the Associated Press.

BERKELEY, Calf, December g.
Mrs. Thomas w. Thompson Of Berke-
ley, whose husband, a mining engineer
in Mexico, was kidnapped and held for
ransom by Mexican bandits a week
ago, received a telegram yesterday
stating that Thompson had been res
cued and was safe at Panuco, State
Of Sinaloa, Mexico.
The telegram said:
Rescued today by government
forces after being held by bandits
seven days. All WELL"
Mrs. Thompson previously today
had received a message from c. H.
Crawford, Thompson's partner at the
silver mine in Mexico, saying her hus-
band had been kidnapped and held in
the mountains near Copala, State of
Guerrero, until 50 500 was paid. Craw-
ford assured her that that sum in gold
had been sent the bandits. Ie re-
ported federal troops were in readi-
ness to rescue Thompson should the
ba ndits fail to release him.
Thompson's telegram inferred that
use of the troops was necessa ry,
though 1t was not known here whether
he had been picked up by federals
after being released or folcibly rescued
by the soldiers.
Mrs. Thompson resides in Berkeley
with her two sons-Haryil, 8, and
Franklin, 4.
Thompson graduated from Leland
Stanford, Jr., University in 1912 and
has been the manager of the silver
mine in Mexico for some time.
Washington officials have been ac-
tive on behalf of the kidnapped Amer
lean.
