Progress of Forest Road Surveys

Highway Engineer o. N. Powell of
the Albuquerque office of the Forest
Service has just been making an in
spection of the work which is being
carried on by Engineer d. l.. Mac
Beath and his crew of men in survey
ing out the Heber- Young wagon road
on the Tonic and Sitgreaves National
Forests and the Long Valley-Sutton
ranch wagon road on the Coconino
National Forest. Mr.. Powell reports
that the survey of the former road
has been completed as far as Young
and that the maximum grade will be
8 percent. The Forest Service ex-
poets to build this road as soon as
funds will permit.
The Forest Service surveying crew
is now working on the Long Valley
Sutton ranch road and is encountering
some difficulties in finding a practic-
able route across the Blue Ridge.
This is a bad place, the badness of
which need hardly be called to the at
tention Of any one who has tried to
cross it by wagon or motor. The
chances are, however, according to
Mr.. Powell, that a maximum 8 per-
cent grade as well as shortening of
the former route will be possible on
this road.

The Arizona State Fair

Phoenix, Arizona, Sept. 3O.-The
annual and official premium lists are
now being circulated to all the pros
pectivc exhibitors of the Arizona
State Fair. There is a slight differ
ence in the size of the present hook
and those of former years, but the
books are uniform with nearly all the
state fairs of the country. A vast
amount of information is listed in
these premium lists, as well as many
attractive advertisements and illu-
STATIONS of the state fair activities.
Governor Hunt has message for the
people of he state in the front of the
premium list. The Governor says:
"To the people of Arizona: To those
who have resided within Arizona for
any considerable time, / need not
point out that the annual State Fair
held at Phoenix during the most de-
lightful season Of the year is eagerly
anticipated not only by Arizonas
citizens, but also by many people
throughout the southwest, who re-
cognize the Fair as one of the best
annual exhibits and race meets held
anywhere in the country. Not merely
because the Fair is Arizona's greatest
advertisement of her business re-
sources, but as well for the weeks
Incompatible enjoyment which T
Week holds in store, it is hoped that
the 1915 fair, which, like all the
others, will surpass in character and
magnitude the one preceding, will be
attended by every loyal Arizonian
who can spare the necessary time
from his or her affairs of everyday
life"

Notification to decrease the Coco
nino county tax levy is contained in
the following communication address
ed to the Coconino board of supervi-
sors by the state tax commission:
Under date of August 3lst COM
plant was filed with this commission
by the State Taxpayers association
to the effect that Coconino county in
the adoption of its budget for the year
1915, had apparently exceeded the
limit allowed by law, and requesting
that an investigation be made with
reference to same.
Upon receiving the proceedings of
your board for both the years 1914
and 1915, the commission finds that
you have levied in excess of the ten
per cent limit allowed by law and for
other than school purposes by ap-
proximately eight cents on each one
hundred dollars valuation.

portion from each, as you may deem
proper.
The above order is made to com

Should any taxes have been paid

SUMMER PARADISE FOR TOURISTS

feet below the earths surface. On the
homeward journey from Sunset noun
tain, which is about sixteen miles
from Flagstaff, short side trip takes
the tourist to the wonderful Walnut
Canyon, a huge break in the earth s
surface a thousand feet deep, where
the long extinct race of Cliff Dwellers
made their homes. The caves in the
cliffs where the members of this long
dead race lived can easily be seen
from the top Of the canyon, but for
the benefit of the more curious, there
is a good path leading down the side
Of the canyon right to the entrance of
the caves. The run back from Walnut
Canyon to Flagstaff is over splendid
road that passes within a hundred
yards of the bottomless pit, which is
a natural wonder we'll worth seeing.
This same road also goes by the
Greenlaw Lumber Mill, work of man
which is almost as interesting to the
jewellers of the lowlands as some of
the works of nature.
Other Wonderful Trips
There are dozens of other wonder
full trips which can be made by auto
from Flagstaff, SO many in fact that
a two months sojourn in the northern
city would be none too long. The trip
across the Painted Desert and over a
wonderful suspension bridge which
crosses the Little Colorado, to Tuba
City and the Indian country can be
made in two days and is we'll worth
taking. Then there is the seventy
five mile run to the Natural Bridge,
the prehistoric ruins, Oak Creek, San
Francisco Peaks and a dozen other
places all within easy distance of town
over fine roads which would more than
repay the tourist for the journey.
We have mentioned among the as
sets of the northern city its climate
and the many wonderful things near
by to be seen, but equally as attract
i've to the writer were the people of
Flagstaff. The Creator never turned
loose in this big state of ours finer
or more hospitable lot of people than
the residents of Flagstaff. If the
summer visitor does not have good
time in Flagstaff it is because climate,
scenery and fine treatment have no
appeal.
While visiting the northern city the
writer would also suggest that the
tourist, particularly people from Phoe-
nix, Tucson, Bisbee or any of the
larger southern cities, make a trip of
inspection through Rabbit Brothers
store. Southern Arizona boasts some
pretty good sized business establish
ments yet up in the little city of
Flagstaff is department store that
is twenty-five per cent larger than
anything else of it's kind in the state.
Next summer land l am talking
now to you folks who are satisfied to
drink water straight) take the writ
er's tip and visit our own northern
wonderland. The climate will equal
any you have ever before enjoyed and
you will see things in the line of scenic
wonders you never dreamed of before.
Try it next summer You will then
thank me for the advice instead of
thanking your home banker for allow
ing you to overdraw your account
while in California.-Dunbar's Week
