OLD PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH MOVED TO
SOUTH SIDE OF TOWN

The old Presbyterian church, for
over 40 years a landmark on North
San Francisco street facing the county
courthouse, on Wednesday morning
passed down the street and out of
the business district on its way
to its new home on South San Fran
cisco street across River de Flag al
most before most folks knew that the
day had really begun. Jack Williams,
professional house mover, did the
work without hitch.
Shorn of it's steeple, its bell on the
vestibule floor, slice off the top of
its peaked roof to permit its passing
under the telephone and telegraph
wires, the sight caused many senti-
mental pang in the hearts of Flagstaff
folks who worshipped in it in days
gone by.
However, when it is settled on it's
new foundation its roof will be re-
built and its bell will again call as of
old. 1t will then summon members
of the Mexican Methodist mission to
whom it has belonged for the past
three years, under leadership of Rev.
John Burman.
For years the beauty of the pine
a matter for comment when it was
the fashion to feature theagrain of the
wood. Billie Beeson remembers how
he was one of those through whose
hands the picked boards passed. The
sawyer at the Arizona Lumber d Tim
Der Co. mill saved the choicest boards.
Each department of the mill culled
again until only the most beautiful
and perfect boards were left. DR..
Thomas Moffett, former pastor in the
old church, makes point each time
he comes to Flagstaff to enter the
building and enjoy the beauty of its
inside finish. The contractor re-
marked upon its substantial construc-
tion and credits its moving SO salts
factorily to its careful building.
DIR. H. A. Bassett of Albuquerque,
supervisor of Spanish mission work,
will come to dedicate the church.
Rev. Burman had been looking for
ward to this move ever since his con-
gregation two years ago raised the
money to purchase the three lots
which now home their church. 1t took
much faith and energy to unite or to
cut all the red tape that delayed the
consummation. The building was
presented the mission by the FEEDER
ated church. When Attorney C. B..
Wilson bought the lots where the
church stood it was with the under
standing that the building would be
removed. Mr.. Wilson's plans for the
use of this property are not an
nounced, though the increasing de-
mand for close-in apartments may
cause him to build more.

ANOTHER COMP ANY MAY
WILDCAT SUNSHINE OIL
STRUCTURE NEAR HERE

Information recently given says
that another oil company backed by
Los Angeles capitalists, may enter the
wildcat field 45 miles east of here and
drill a test well south of Babbitt's
tanks on the National Old Trails high
way. Definite plans, however, have
not yet been announced.
Edward C. Ryan, geologist, the first
to pin his faith on the Sunshine
structure, is handling the arrange
ments whereby Frank A. Gillespie and
son Burney and group of Los An
geies capitalists dealing in oil devel-
opment properties are expected to
form a company to drill well at a
site about two miles south of Bah
bits tanks and about six miles west
of the site of the Sunshine Oil COM
pany's we'll near the Sunshine rail-
road station.
Last week Burney A. Gillespie of
the firm of Frank A. Gillespie & Son
of Los Angeles spent several days in
the field in company with Mr.. Ryan.
1t is said that Mr.. Gillespie is highly
in favor of the field and will recon-
mend that test well be drilled on the
structure.
Frank A. Gillespie is reported to be
a multi-millionaire and is the man
who constructed the Gillespie Dam on
the Gila river several years ago at the
cost of over S1,OO0,0O0, and which was
recently sold to Los Angeles capital
lists.
Drilling was resumed Sunday by the
Sunshine Oil company at its number
one well, following placing of 300
foot string of 12-inch casing. The
Casing-in of the well was necessary
due to a strata Of quicksand having
been struck two weeks ago at 315 feet,
and rather than mud-off the drillers
decided it would be best to delay drill
ing operations until casing could be
received and set in the hole to case off
the sand.
The drillers expect to make quick
headway in the Coconino sandstone,
making an average of around 70 feet
on the two shifts. They expect to
drill for the next 900 or 1000 feet in
sandstone before encountering hard
deep water lime. After that Hermit
sand will be penetrated to possible oil
bearing sands at $500 to $500 feet.

First Auto EDer Going
TO Grand Canyon From
Flagstaff Comes Back

Williams took a novel way last
week of advertising its Fourth of
July celebration and rodeo when
Larry Williams, town clerk, and Jack
Brimhall of the West End garage
drove around Flagstaff with an auto
mobile of 1902 vintage.
The old REQ certainly did it "stuff,
and its one "lung" could be heard from
one end Of the business section to
the other. It's appearance on the
street caused more excitement than a
one-horse shay would on the corner OF
Madison and State streets IN Chi
cago.
It was % years ago that Doctor
John Adams drove this same 1902
model REQ through the streets of
Flagstaff and caused as much excite
ment and discussion as did its ap-
pearance last Friday afternoon. 1t
was the first car ever to go from
Flagstaff to Grand Canyon. Doctor
Adams sold the machine to Tom At
wood Of Williams who used it until
1909 and then relegated it to the junk
heap About a month ago, Jack
Brimhall resurrected the old timer
and after little work on the engine
and transmission had it running. The
only difficulty encountered in getting
the "horseless carriage" into the run
ming was securing tires for it. This
was overcome by mounting Ford rims
on the original wheels, which were
built for a 28-inch tire. An up-to-
date rumble seat was also built into
the auto, making it a passenger.
The car has one cylinder and plane
tary transmission, virtually the same
as used in the Ford car of today. 1t
has two speeds forward and a re-
verse. With good luck it will make
Is miles an hour on down grade
with the wind to the rear.
The "old timer" was gaily bedecked
in banners and signs when it appeared
on the streets here advertising the
Williams celebration and giving a
short history of itself. 1t had the
honor of leading the parade Monday
at Williams.
| It was brought to Flagstaff Friday
on a truck and taken back that way,
as it was found its age and decrepi-
tude were too great to permit its being

SECRETS OF
HEALTH

VOU, every once in a while,
Il read of lot of people who,
suddenly and mysteriously, were
taken i'll. A number Of them may
have died. The subsequent in
quiry resulted in a verdict Of
illness or death from botulism.
What is botulism?
Botulism is one of the worst
food poisoning diseases known.
1t is very sudden in onset and
very often fatal.
About eight hours after eating
the offending food, the patient
suffers from roughness of the
throat and begins to see double
He loses hearing, and, may die
after a few hours from paralysis
of the heart and lungs. The only
instance recorded in Great Brit.
ain, where food control is most
rigorous, was in 1922, when eight
persons lost their lives through
eating potted duck sandwiches.
The United States and Canada
are not so fortunate. Between
1890 and 1926, in these countries.
there were 496 cases and 329
deaths. This was mortality of
Sc per cent-a truly alarming
percentage. During the eight
years 1918-1926 we had an aver.

the three outbreaks that occurred
in 1926 the deadly foods were
string beans, trout or salmon,
and asparagus. 1t is an interest
ing fact that in every instance
the poisonous food was home.
canned.
The disease comes from a bacil-
lus, or germ. that multiplies in
improperly sterilized food.
This bacillus is widely distrib.
uted. 1t lives in the soil and in
dust. as well as in various food
stuffs. 1t can exist without air.
1t seems to be more frequent
west of the Rockies. The disease
is usually due to preserved or
processed foods, such as ripe
olives. cheese, spinach and olives
likewise have been incriminated.
Prevention is secured by using
fresh foods, by cleanliness in pre-
pairing them, and by applying suf-
fic1ent heat to kill the spores
of the bacilli. Brine or syrup il

Acid fruits seem to be quite
harmless. Thorough cooking tends

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

Why the Tired Business Girl
WHEN a middle-aged man mar
w ries, asserts a popular writer,
it is not in order to escape loneli-
ness, but in order to achieve it.
He is looking, not for a soul-mate,
but for good abba shield. and
barrier between him and all the
poachers, time-wasters and pests,
including women.
This is a little startling: but,
after all. if It is true of the Busy
Business Man, 1t may be true also
of the Tired Business Woman.
Why does a successful modern
business woman exchange her
freedom, her independence and
the attentions of a lot of men for
the inattention of just ONE?
With a good income, a ducky
little apartment, a snappy little
car, and plenty of good clothes,
good friends, and good times, why
does she so often annex q man?
Does SHE, too, seek an alibi
and a rest cure?"

than to go out and listen to q

1t is far easier to cater to one

every evening.
It is far more comforting to

whom you don't have to play

OF course, an ideal husband
