FRANK HARRISON, THE
NEXT COUNTY ATTORNEY
Frank Harrison, nominee for coun
ty attorney by a handsome majority
in the democratic primary, and with
out opposition on the other side, will
be the next county attorney.
Pretty hard for any slip 'twixt the
cup and the lip in this instance.
Frank has worked hard all his life,
practically all the time doing as much
work as two men ordinarily do, so
he s entitled to have something come
easy and doesn't feel at all slighted in
not having a republican opponent.
Under Frank Si. Gold, present coun
ty attorney, the work of that office
has been well and ably conducted
there will be no decrease in efficiency
under Mr. Hnrrison.
The latter was court leporter here
for several years following his resig
nation from the forestry service at
Fort Valley. About two years ago he
was admitted to the practice of law
in this state, passing the highest ex
amination with the highest marks ev
er given in an Arizona bar examina
tion, r-rom the start he was success
ful and his practice increased rapidly
until now it is unusually large for
one wno has had his shingle out so
snort a time.
He has the confidence of the people,
who know his honesty and talent?Tiis
fondness for hard work, and his manv
other good qualities, and will handle
tne important office of county attor
ney with energy, ability and impar
tially. o
JUDGE JONES IS A
CREDIT TO BENCH
Judge J. E. Jones having receiv
ed so many votes in the primaries for
tho democratic re-nomination for
judge of the superior court, this coun
ty, any person who didn't know him
would get the idea that he is popu
lar. Those who do know him, knew
it long ago.
Judge Jones has been a citizen of
Flagstaff for many years. In his
practice of law, as county attorney,
as judge, and in any and all other
relations with the public, he has
steadily gained friends instead of
losing them. This is due to his ster
ling worth as a man, his ability and
devotion to duty, his rugged honesty,
his kindly nature, his possession of

As a jurist his credentials are of

it is a pleasure to recite a few of the

W. II. CAMPBELL REPUBLICAN
NOMINEE FOR SUPERVISOR
Coconino county, with its vast area,
has many public problems difficult to
solve in the best interests of all, yet
Supervisor W. H. Campbell, the re
publican candidate for supervisor for
the first district, was nominated wim
nnfc nnnnsition in his own party on the
good record he has made during his
term in office.
Oftimes criticisms are unfairly
mado because of limited means and
the utter impossibility of granting
all requests made on public tunas.
Greater criticisms and more just,
would be made if the people were
burdened with taxes as a result of
granting all requests. Supervisor
Campbell has been progressive in his
ideas in road building and other pub
lic affairs. He has given his time
freely in the carrying on of public
work. Much credit is due him for
his enthusiastic efforts for a bridge
across the Colorado river at Lees .ber
ry, his aid in.popuianzing tne great
Glen Canyon dam project, the propos
ed Oak Creek highway and many oth
er such enterprises which means mil
lions to the residents of the county

OF DISTRICT NO. 2.
John Loy received a good vote in
supervisor district No. 2 from the
democratic party, though unopposed
for the place on the ticket by any
umer memDcr ot ins party.
Mr. Loy is a pioneer fanner and
stockman of Munds Park, where he
has made his home since before Co
conino county was set apart as a sen
arate organization from Yavapai
county. He is an energetic public
spirited citizen, with progressive
ideas as to the development of the
county and was a popular candidate
among the voters of his district who
hope for his election next November.
District No. 2 includes the propos
ed highway through Oak Creek Can

many other problems to be solved in

We understand that Bob was never

no intention of being one this time,
but his friends insisted on his enter

JOHN W. FRANCIS WILL
BE GOOD IF HE IS
John W. Francis is letting no grass
grow under his feet in his race for
election as sheriff of this county, for
which he received the democratic nom
ination in the primaries.
' This is a spirited contest and both
sides seem to be eminently fair.
There seems to be none of the accusa
tions and charges so often made in
the heat of campaign, and this is an
indication of the fair-mindedness and
sportsmanship of both contestants.
John was one of the early-day sher
iffs here, and was a good one. He
had the reputation of getting whom
ever he went after and helped make
Flagstaff and Coconino county better
places to live in. The job with its
activities and changing interests has
an attraction for him and he would
like to get some more of the excite
ment that goes with the job.
He has been a respected and public-spirited
citizen of this city for a
greater average number of years than
the rest of us, has the confidence of
the voters and would make a live,
energetic and efficient sheriff.
We are fortunate in having candi
dates oi such high caliber for the
place, for no matter which is elected
to this important position one that
requires an able, honest, up-standing
man we will have a good sheriff who
can be depended upon to do his best
to enforce the laws and make this
county a good place for crooks and
degenerates to stay away from.

CLEAR DOUBTS ABOUT
SOLDIER HOMESTEADS
All military service will count as
rPsiflonpA rredit on homesteads filed
j on by ex-service men, but regardless
01 tne amount 01 military ervite cuui
soldier must live on his claim for a
minimum period of seven months, ac
cording to information made public
i at the local forest service office in
I order to clear up doubt existing as
jto the privileges accorded ex-soldiers
; homestcading land under the provis-
ions of the soldier homestead law re
jcently enacted by congress. State
ments of the forest service summar
ize the provisions ofthis law as fol
lows: (1) A filing preference on lands to
be opened to entry of 91 days over
the general public; (2) residence: all
military service will be counted as
residence credit but regardless of the
amount of military service, each sol
dier must live a minimum of seven
months on the claim. Cultivation:
When an ex-service claimant has had
one year's military service he need
only cultivate 1-16 of the required
area. Where an ex-service claimant
has had two years' military service
only such cultivation is required as
indicates good faith the same as in
the first year of an ordinary entry.
Claims reports should, as heretofore,
state the actual amount of residence
and cultivation and military service.

FOREST MANAGEMENT
CONFERENCE IS TO BE
HELD AT COOLEY, ARIZ.
The annual forest management con
ference, held each year by the national
forest service, will be held on the
Apache Lumber company's sale area
dt Cooley, Arizona, this year during
the week beginning October 30.
The formal representatives of the
New Mexico and Arizona forest dis
tricts who will attend are Chief For
ester C. F. W. Pooler and Messrs.
Marsh, Pearson, Lang and Loveridge,
all of whom are forest officials from
the Albuquerque district. In addition
to these, one supervisor will be in at
tendance from each district in the
two states.
The gathering together of men from
all the districts in the pine timber of
the Sitgreaves forest is considered
not only a high honor to the south
west district, according to a local for
est official, but should go a long way
toward convincing forests in general
that the southwest is a timber country
with as pressing, important and dif
ficult management questions as can
pe touna anywnere in tne country.
CHAS. STEMMER IS PREPARING
BOOK OF HISTORICAL INTEREST
T. D. Sanders is stopping for a few
days in Cottonwood as a guest of
Charles C. Stemmer. Last spring
Sanders had his son take down in
longhand a narrative of his life as a
pioneer in the early history of the
west and particularly in Arizona, ihe
hot weather interrupted the work,
and now that it is growing cooler and
his son has gone to Prescott to re
side, he is dictating to Stemmer, who
is gathering the data for a book of
over 300 pages of intensely interest
ing matter. It will be an autobio
graphical narrative. Mr. Sanders is
nearly 78 years of age and is possess
ed of a remarkable memory. He does
not claim to have killed off a whole
tribe of Indians single-handed, but
he does give some thrilling accounts
of early Indian fights, and particular
ly dwells on the many vissitudes that
beset the early pioneers. Jerome

BETTER BABY CONTEST
AT NORTHERN ARIZ. FAIR
Twenty beautiful, bouncing babies
have already been entered in the bet
ter babies contest, which will be held
under the auspices of the Northern
Arizona State (Fair association, dur
ing October 19, 20, 21, the dates of the
tenth annual northern Arizona fair.
To this energetic association must be
given the credit for having first in
stituted the "better babies" contest
in the state.
This contest is open to all babies
of northern Arizona, between the ages
of six months and thirty-six months.
There are three classes, divided as
follows: Class 1, boys and girls from
six to twelve months; Class 2, boys
and girls, 13 to 24 months; Class 3,
boys and girls, 25 to 3G months.
AH entries close on October 14, at
5 o'clock p. m. Entry blanks will be
mailed on request and appointments
for examination will be made in the
order in which applications are re
ceived. The notice of date and hour
of appointment for examination will
be mailed in ample time before the
contest opens. All questions on blanks
submitted to parents must be answer
ed. No child suffering from any
acute, constitutional or contagious
disease may be entered.
The examinations will begin at 9:30
on the morning of .October 19, at the
baby pavilion.
All babies entered in the contest
will be eligible to the prettiest baby
contest, (although this is one of the
minor divisions of the better babies
contest) and it will again be decided
by the mothers of the contestants by
using the Australian ballot, voting for
three best choices: first choice will
receive five points; second, four points
and third, three points. The baby re
ceiving the most points in the ballot
will be considered the choice of the
mothers as the prettiest baby in tho
1922 contest.
Beautiful and appropriate prizes,
including native copper loving cups,
and many other prizes will be award
ed in all classes.
Mothers desiring to take advantage
of this wonderful opportunity of
learning first-hand just how their ba
bies are progressing should immedi
ately make out entry blanks.
The report that Bill Glenn, mayor
of Ashfork, will be one of the judges,
is strenuously denied, so there is ev
ery reason to believe no prejudice will
be shown by the judges.

DESPONDENT MAN TAKES
OWN LIFE AT KINGMAN
111, despondent and with slight hope
of ever regaining his health, Mark
N. Honeywell, last Saturday night, at
the county hospital, settled the doubt
by blowing out his brains with a
heavy calibre gun. He had seated
himself in a chair and placing the
muzzle of the gun in his mouth, fired
the weapon through the top of his
head. When found he looked as
though he was sleeping in the chair.
Mr. Honeywell was bom in the state
of Ohio 64 years ago, and came west
when a young man, taking up the
avocation of mining. While not over
ly successful, he yet managed to
make a good living and had some
means. He lived many years at Cer
bat and Todd Basin, and it was only
a few months ago that he was com
pelled to come to Kingman to secure
medical aid. The dread white plague
had fastened itself on the poor fel
low and realizing that he was doomed
to a lingering dealh he chose the
shorter way.
Deceased leaves a widow and a
number of relatives in Illinois to
mourn his death. Kingman Miner.
