COCONINO POTATO CROP
BEING SOLD IN ARIZONA
NEW COUNTY OFFICERS
TAKE CHARGE JANUARY 1
Everyone in Coconino county is the Arizona growcis to reciprocate by
more or less interested in our potato
crop, and in the way it is handled af
ter it has been harvested. Most of
our readers aie aware that the Coco
nino Farm Bureau Marketing associa
tion is handling practically the entire
crop of the county this year, and shin-
ped a large number of cars of potatoes
giving the produce men a fair price
protection.
"I will say this, and you may pass
the word along, that I believe if we
have no interference from non-associated
grow cis, we will leceivc a bet
ter price in the near futuic than at
present. However, we are in duty
to Phoenix waiehouses for sale. The i bound to protect the produce dealers,
success or failure of this plan is at I even to the extent of a loss for our
siaKe tins year, and the outcome is i labor, in the event that potatoes are
being awaited w ith a great deal of in
tcrest by the farmers themselves, and
also by others who are indirectly as
sociated in the potato game.
For this reason the following let
ter from H. L. Hutchison, president of
the marketing association, and who is
at present in Phoenix looking after
tho sale of potatoes there, should be
of interest to our- readers. This let
ter was written by Mr. Hutchison to
one of the local business houses under
dnteof December 19th.
"Knowing that you are interested
and that you come in contact with the
potato growers of the Coconino coun
ty district, particularly those maiket
ing their crops through the Coconino
Farm Bureau Marketing association,
I feel it my present duty to inform
you regarding conditions in Phoenix.
"The produce men here seem very
desirous that noithern Arizona shall
stay on the map as a potato produc
ing district and have proven their co
peddled to the retail dealers in Phoe
nix at a price that would exclude the
local wholesale produce dealers, at
the prices being paid us at the present
time.
"Anything that you may do or say
to encourage the glowers to stick by
the association, will be duly appreciat
ed by me. At the present time the
produce dealers of Phoenix are buy
ing nothing but Arizona potatoes,
which is a different condition than I
found on my arrival here two weeks
ago.
"I am not writing this merely as a
boost for the association, but for the
information of all the growers in
northern Arizona, and trust that the
proper spirit of co-operation will be
shown, which will certainly be to the
best interests of all concerned in the
growing and marketing of the potato
crops of northern Arizona.

wrenches in the cogs. Then I can feel

ROTARIANS EAT TURKEY;
HEAR MOVIE STORY AND
BATTERY "D" TROUBLES
The Flagstaff Rotary club, which is
first in most things, was thus year
first to celebrate Christmas, by hav
ing their big turkey feed on Tues
day of this week. The club decided a
week pievious that it would he bet
ter to be ahead of time than late, so
pulled the big event thin week. Miss
Berchtold, head of the domestic sci
ence department of the Normal, and
her staff of student assistants, did
themselves proud upon this occasion
and were called before the club and
given a vote of thanks for the ex
cellent dinner they had picpared.
C. B. Wilson was chaiiman of the
day and he had prepared an excellent
program, which was opened by a very
much appreciated ocal number by
Miss Ida Davis, physical diiector at
the Normal, accompanied by Miss Mil
dred Whet?el, of the music dcpait
ment.
W. I). Meyers of Winslow, who has
had considerable experience in the
Boy Scout movement, was present and
made a short talk along that line. He
appeared to be well posted on the sub
ject and was listened to with much
interest.
Miss Mary Costigan, manager of the
Orpheum theatre, was introduced and
asKed by Jhauman Wilson to give
those present a business insight into
the general moving picture business,
especially the theatre end. Miss Cos
tigan said the moving picture busi
ness was divided into three distinct
departments the production or man
ufacturing end, the distribution and
the showing or theatic business. The
moving picture business has grown in
a few short years to bo the fourth
largest in the United State-,. They
employ in all branches over 50.000
people and have an annual pajiolLof
over $50,000,000. The Orpheum thea
tre has a payroll of oer $500 per
month and it costs Miss Costigan
about $55 a day to operate her show
house, which includes payroll, pur
chase of pictures, advertising, rent,
heat, light, etc. Films like "Grand
ma's Boy," which was shown here last

INDIANS IIOLD.CELEBRATION
DEARBORN STATION BURNED;
LOST U. S. PLANE LOCATED
The Navajo Indians at Tuba City
aro now celebrating the Ya-be-chi
dance, an annual winter event, which
is one of the most elaborate dances
this tribe holds. The dance extends
over a period of nine days, conclud
ing with a big feast and other events,
including the wonderful sand paint
ing, on Christmas evening. A largo
number of sheep and cattle will bo
slaughtered for the final day, and sev
eral hundred Nuvajos from other the
pntire reservatfpn will be present.
O. B. Raudebaugh repoitcd this
morning that the information was giv
en out fiom Los Angeles by radio last
night that the old Dearborn railroad
station in Chicago was burned to the
ground about 5 o'clock last night. The
trains which were in the 'shed were
pulled out and saved, but the building
was a total wreck.
The information was also given that
an old Indian arrived at Tucson last
evening and reported locating the
aeroplane carrying two United States
officers, which left San Diego several
days ago and has since been lost. He
found the frame 78 miles west of
Tucson, its nose sticking in the sand
and the plane burned with the two
officeis' bodies in it. A detachment
of tioops left at once with the Indian
to locate the wreck.
The Masons and Eastern Star will
hold joint installation of their new
officers at the Masonic temple next
Wednesday night, December 27. The
ceremony will be followed by a ban
quet. o
HOPI WEDDING FIRST OF
KIND HELD AT
TUBA
What was probably the first public
Christian wedding among the Hopi
Indians occurred at Tuba City the
evening of December 1, when William
Dalton and Hilda Lamentewa, both
full-blooded Hopi Indians, were mar
tied. The wedding was held in the thea
tre after the evening moving picture
show, and was cairied out with all of
the usual attendants, flower gill, best
man and bridesmaid. Rev. J. B. Fry,
missionary at Tuba, performed the
ceicmony, which was followed by an
elaborate wedding dinner and danc
ing until a late hour.
The bride is a well educated young
lady and is now assistant matron of
the gills' dormitory at the Indian
school. The groom is employed in the
boys' doimitory of the same school.
The parents of the young'couple are
insisting that they now carry out the
old Indian marriage ceremony which
would extend over a period of three
or four months, but Mr. and Mrs. Dal
ton don't think they have time for
this ceremony.

BIGGEST HOLIDAY RUSH
ON RECORD AT POSTOFFICE
There does not appear to be any
lack of Christmas spirit evidenced at
the local postoffico this year. Th
postoffice is handling about all the
traffic will bear, coming and going in
truck loads at all hours of the day.
The clerks are handling the biggest
holiday rush that was ever handled
at this office and while it is making
some of them look sortei hollow-eyed
and peaked, they are delivering the
goods with both hands,
While there are a good many coun
ty offices which will not change
hands on the first Monday in January,
yet there will be seveial new faces
about the court house after that date,
when the successful candidates of the
November election take their respec
tive offices.
The board of supervisors will be re
organized with two new members. R.
E. Taylor will rcpiescnt the first dis
trict in the place now occupied by W.
H. Campbell. John Loy succeeds
Fred Gaiing in the Second district,
and W. C. Rittcnhouse will make the
third, being the hold-over member of
the poard. Joe Kickel is slated to
become the new clerk of the board
and he is now in the office getting
onto the ropes.
The sheriff's office will continue to
be under the supervision of W. A.
Campbell, and he will make no
changes in his splendid force with the
exception of filling the place now oc
cupied by Howaid Marine, who be
comes county recoider. Doc Wyatt
will be the new deputy.
Ana Frohmiller, who is now in
charge of the treasurer's office by ap
pointment, will become the duly elect
ed tieasuier on Januaiy 1. She will
appoint as her assistant Miss Ardelle
Switzer.
The county attorney's office changes
hands this time, Frank Harrison tak
ing the place now held by F. M. Gold.
Mr. Harrison will appoint Geo. R. Le
wis as his assistant.
Charlotte Acker vill leplace Vir
ginia Lockett in the office of county
school superintendent.
The office of the clerk of the su
perior court would look strange with
out Tom L. Rccs in it, and he will con
tinue to have charge of the court rec
ords for the next two years. Miss
Mary Ayres will continue to assist
him.

BABBITT-POLSON STORE
AT WILLIAMS ROBBED
Under Sheriff S. O. Thompson was
called to Williams Tuesday to inves
tigate the robbery of the Babbitt-Pol-son
store in that place Sunday night.
Two men had evidently entered the
place through the skylight, going down
on a rope they had cut from the flag
pole at the foiestry station. They
helped themselves to considerable
clothing, each fitting themselves out'
from head to foot, taking goods to
the value of something like $150.
root prints of the two would indi
cate that one was a very large man
and the other a small man.
No trace of them was found, and
as no one saw them enter or leave the
store, the authorities have no descrip'
tion of the men.
The young man, giving his name as
Rudolph Malcher, applied at the coun
ty jail one evening last week for a
night's lodging, as he was broke. The
boys there, always willing to give a
fellow a lift, fixed up a cot for him.
While loafing about the jail lobby that
evening the young man appeared in
clined to talk, and it was not long
until the officers caught enough to
make them suspect that he was want
ed some place, and proceeded to draw
him out.
From his talk and actions they de
cided that he had recently been in San
Diego, and a telegram to that point
brought back the word that Mclcher
was a deserter from the navy, and
ordering his arrest and detention.
Sheriff Campbell left Saturday with
the prisoner for San Diego, where the
young man will get free lodging for
several nights.

A couple of men, evidently local

Tuesday night, but secured little for
their trouble, except a good feed.
The men mado their entrance by
breaking a glass in the back part of
the house. They rifled the cash reg
ister, but there was nothing in it but
a few pennies. The pair evidently
were hungry, for they helped them
selves to all kinds of food, but ap
parently cai'ried none away with them.
