1923: On the day of decoration, returning from exercises, senior veterans gathered at the hospitable home of the Sheriff and Mrs. Campbell. They were a surviving member of the Ransom Post (GAR) and had Dr. GF Manning Sr. as an honored guest. Greetings and anecdotes were exchanged here, and I immersed myself in the memories of the days of 1961-65 as much as I could. Occurs only in rare cases. Soon, they were invited into the dining room for a delicious meal, topped off with strawberry sorbet and cake. Dr. GF Manning Sr., Judge SB Gilliland, Ms. WH Pierce, JC Milligan, Tom Lockett and Ben Donnie covered. After the social hour, many words of thanks were given to the hostesses for the pleasant entertainment, and each was presented with a white lily as a keepsake when saying goodbye.

A few days ago, in a more than usual real estate deal, Mrs. L.R. Hall purchased four lots on the corner of Leroux and Aspen, directly across the street west of the Arizona Central Bank. Here is his one of Flagstaff’s most prized corners. Mrs. Hall is not yet ready to announce how the property will be improved, but it is expected to be improved soon, on pace by next year at the latest. Mrs. Hall plans to build a modern hotel or modern apartment building on the corner that will cover her entire four estates. She now runs the Weatherford Hotel, which she rented from John W. Weatherford, making it a very comfortable and homely favorite.

1948: The Blue Cross Hospital Plan is now available to residents of the area at Flagstaff Hospital, CW Secristo said this week. Membership may be secured through employment groups, such as groups of employees of stores or other businesses.

Flagstaff’s city water has been unfairly accused of causing outbreaks of gastroenteritis and other bowel diseases, WE Stanfill, hygienist for Coconino County Health Services, said today. Residents here receive water from certified sources and are thoroughly tested by state laboratories, all tests declaring the local water absolutely safe for human consumption. . The Department of Health conducted research showing that most of the problems occur during the warmer spring and summer months, when flies and other disease-causing agents (E. coli and Aerogenes) are introduced. Instead of blaming the water supply, residents should check. All food should be handled only under the cleanest and most hygienic conditions, especially in times of imminent danger.

1973: Coconino County’s population could nearly double over the next seven years. That’s a prediction from a recent census made by the Battelle Memorial Institute and the Arizona Department of Economic Planning. The county’s population is projected to reach 70,000 by 1980. If this figure is maintained, this means he will increase by 43.8%. Her 1970 population in Coconino County was 43,326, an increase of 6,469 from the 1960 census.

Flagstaff must be ready to meet the challenges despite a temporary ‘lame duck’ regime. The city manager stepped down last week following the retirement of an assistant and a city employee. As such, some officials may be prepared to accept “powerful names” as potential replacements for the two vacancies. This should not be allowed. The city council should conduct a nationwide search to find the two executives who can best meet the challenges Flagstaff presents. Now is the time to build a strong, positive, positive administration. Stronger coordination of all city operations is required. Flagstaff is no longer the small town it once was. Rather, it’s a vibrant and growing community operating under a budget of over $9 million this year. New managers and their assistants must be ready to help guide this growth. To get the job done, you have to demonstrate teamwork.

1998: A stylized petrol pump did not work. But two other outdoor art projects to be installed along Route 66 at a cost of $100,000 got the go-ahead from Flagstaff City Council in a surprise 4-2 vote last night. “Of course we are very excited,” said Dolly Spalding, head of the Flagstaff Public Arts Advisory Board. The variable vote was cast by City Councilman John Caboro, who opposed Monday night’s legislative session, saying public art was too expensive in a low-budget year.

Several public art advocates spoke Monday in support of the approval of the two works. There are 12 monoliths representing the months and seasons of the year and 3 free standing bronze sculptures 10 to 14 feet tall. A few more lawmakers attended Tuesday night’s city council meeting, with a majority urging the city council to move forward.

About 75 Navajo people dressed in deep-hued velvet blouses and silk pleated skirts, soft brown moccasins and turquoise blue conch belts marched Monday to commemorate the 300-mile long walk their ancestors did in 1864. Walked a mile and a half. The Avenue was part of a daylong ceremony marking the 130th anniversary of the signing of the Navajo-United States Treaty of 1868 and the first day the original was exhibited at Northern Arizona University. Most of the walkers, including non-Indians, were positive about the treaty’s return to Arizona and were optimistic during the event, chatting casually among themselves and waving to bystanders. However, some questioned what the treaty actually did for the Navajo.

(The full text of the United States-Navajo Treaty of 1868 was published in the Daily Sun on June 2, 1998, page 6.)
