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. "Let cveiybody boost and not throw wrenches in the cogs. Then I can feel operation Dy paying us a price at confident that we will all realize a least eleven cents per cwt, above com- satisfactory remuneration for our la petitive growers of other states.

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 (Continued on Pago Two) o 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. o 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. (Continued on Page Ten.)

Mr. Diehl could not have found a better man for the task of collecting the material for this exhibit than Col. Crosby. He is in touch with the sub ject, especially the most awe-inspiring scene in all the woild the (jiand Canyon, and he will sec to it that we get a proper representation in this move.

Mary Prochnow was born and grew to charming young womanhood in Fhgstaff.

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. o WELL KNOWN FLAGSTAFF COUPLE MARRIED WEDNESDAY ROBBERS GET NOTHING BUT A GOOD TEED A couple of men, evidently local parties, broke into Joe Bender's cafe 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. "W. A- Lannon and Mary A. Flynn were married by Father Vabre at the Church of the Nativity Wednesday mcrning, December 20, at 8 o'clock mass. Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Murphy acted as best man and bridesmaid. Immediately after the ceremony an elaborate wedding breakfast was serv ed at the homo of the groom's sister, Mrs. Robt. Bombcrg. at which there were present the bride and groom, Mr. and Mrs. Bomberg, Mr. and Mrs. Ed O'Farrell, Miss Kate O'Farrell and Father Vabre.

The historian stated that inasmuch as he had fatarted on the New Mexico counties, he though he would look up the successive changes made within Arizona proper and this idea natural- M. Barney, follow the lines laid outly was taken into the stage of map- ! ping. J he maps start with date of. 18C4, when there were only four coun ties, iuma, with county seat at La Paz, is the only subdivision that has never known a change of boundary lines. The eastern line of Mohave county extended directly north to Utah on an extension of the Yuma line, and westward to California, leav ing the Colorado river in about the middle of the county. Mohave City was the county seat. Pima had ev erything south of the Gila river, with the exception of a part of Yuma, and Yavapai took all the rest of the ter ritory. In 18C5 was created the jiortlrcrn. half of Mohave county, with Callvillo, as its county seat, this changed ' in 18G7 to St. Thomas on the Muddy. In 1871 Mohave was restored to its original boundary, there having been protesting acceptance of the diversion of the Navada point. In this year the county scat of Yuma was transferred to Arizona City, soon thereafter known as Yuma. Most important in thi3 j ear was establishment of Mari copa county, with an irregular north- n whee they will make their fu- n? white occupation except for Torts ture home Defiance and Mohave.
