to settlers is not bar to this county,
the rate being only $1.3O per $4,000
in 1914, and the people of the county
are proceeding along "safe and sane"
lines in up-building their community.
Only fractional part of Coconino's
immense area has been touched by the
pillow. There are thousands and thou
sands of acres capable of cultivation
and which in time will be utilized, as
the farming lands become more re-
stricted in the United States.
The ranges in Coconino county
furnish the finest feed for the cattle,
sheep and horses.
The industries now in operation
will always insure a staple character
to the business interests of the coun-
ty and provide ready market for the
farmer and stockbreeder.
There are four lumber mills in the
county whose combined saving cap
acity is 100000 feet daily and this
industry is assured to Flagstaff and
other points in the county forever.
The supply now in sight would supply
the mills, it is estimated, for over
one hundred years and at the end of
that period of time, another growth
fully as great as the original will be
available.
All these industries have tended to
build up permanent population and
great wealth. With the access of
new people, the fame of the wonder
full climate of Coconino county spread
and this has lead to large addition
to our citizenship of men and women
of the highest culture and wealth,
and who have found relief and joy
of life in our marvelously tonic air.
These new people have established
new markets and there has been
resultant development of agriculture,
poultry raising and bee-keeping along
profitable lines that had not been
deemed possible decade ago. Owing
to the great altitude, the frosts begin
so soon that only the hardest grains
and vegetables thrive, yet this field
is growing in Importance continually
and Coconino's potatoes, cabbage,
corn and honey are among the best,
her potatoes having won sweepstake
prize in the Dry Farming Congress
at Wichita, Kansas, in 1914.
One of the greatest advantages Of
Coconino county lies in the fact that
it is a prosperous and growing COM
munity. In the National Forest there
are thousands of acres available for
homestead by the settler who can face
pioneering conditions and who has
the means to be able to live through
the first two years of breaking in"
This is a very different proposition
from starting a homestead in one Of
the older and more thickly settled
communities where a man has q
neighbor in every section or two. Yet
when man does get his start in Co.
conino, the returns are such as make
the places nearer the centers Of civil
ization seem very poor.
Roads
Our greatest work for the common
good has been in the building Of our

there are regular evenings for the
public throughout the year.
Room for Settlers
From the foregoing facts and fig
ures in this article, the fact can read
lily be seen that Coconino county offers
excellent opportunities to the pros
pective settler-but he must be of the
right sort. There is no room here
for the drone or social parasite but
for the man who seeks an outlet for
his labor combined with some capital,
the county has plenty of room.
The prospective settler who looks
over Coconino county can be assured
with all sincerity of the prosperous
development of the county and Of
prosperity for himself provided he
applies himself diligently to the work
for which he is suited and Of which
the people Of the country have
need. He must not expect to fatten
on the fruits of the labor of those
who have done the work Of the pio-
neer alone.
Any information respecting the re-
sources Of the county will be cheer
fully and faithfully given by the i'm
migration commissioner Of the county
and the inquirer can be assured that
no misleading information will be
given him. The county is making no
effort to "boom" the resources of its
territory through inflated values but
rather to insure steady, sane and
certain growth. The assessed value
of the county as stated once before in
this article has increased fourteen
million dollars in the last 10 years
and the tax rate still remains low.
There is every reason to believe that
the county's resources will increase
in greater proportions during the next
twenty years. Land, cattle, sheep
and horses are all bound to increase
in value.
To estimate the exact acreage that
will finally be agricultural land is a
hopeless task. No data is available
to show how far dry farming can en-
croach upon the desert, nor can one
forecast how much forest ground will
ultimately, under public demand, be
thrown open to settlement. Bulletin
No. 10 Of the Arizona Experiment
Station gives the estimate Of $4,000
acres in the open parks of the San
Francisco Mountains near Flagstaff,
and 10000 to 10000 acres more near
Williams. If anything, these figures
are very conservative. Then there
must be added to this vast tract along
the Little Colorado River where water
comes near the surface and will some
time be pumped for irrigation.
Altogether, the acreage now cultiv-
ated within the Coconino Forest does
not exceed 10000 acres.
Most Of this lies in the more rainy
belt Immediately surrounding the
mountains to the west, the south and
the southeast; around lake beds and
in the valleys.

Ships For Honolulu
Delayed BY Slides
Infhe CuIebra Cut

A despatch from Panama dated Sep
TENDER 8, says that a new slide in the
Canal had blocked TIE passage of all
ships, including the Panama PaciSG
liners Finland and Kroonland, the for
mer eastbound, the latter from New
York for San Francisco. There were
twenty-five vessels waiting for the re-
opening of traffic. The despatch said
that the dredges had exeavated 10000
cubic yards Of mud and stone within
twenty-four hours, record for dredg-
ing. There was no chance of vessels
passing through the Canal until Sep
TENDER 7, it was stated, and the Fin
land and Kroonland were expected to
be delayed until the end of last week
because Of their greater draft.
Both for VladiVostok
Two ships for Honolulu. the British
steamers Inverclyde and City of Bonn
bav, evidently were delayed by the
side. They sailed the same day, Tues,
day, from the Canal. The Inverclyde
sailed from New York, August %, and
should have been out of the Canal with
in eleven days, ON September s; and the
city of Bombay sailed from New York
August 30, and should have been out
of the Canal September 8. Both ships
are for VladivOstok, and are due here
about October l.
1t appears that the United States
naval collier Proteus escaped the slide.
She sailed from Norfolk, August "a,
and should have been through the Canal
before the slide. She probably will ar.
rive here Sunday or Monday with coal

shares in the benefits of other labor
working under the American flag, and
the burden thereof naturally falls on
the shoulders of the employer. If the
gentleman has any plan for supplying
the Hawaiian sugar planters with u
plentiful supply of "alien' labor paid
what that same labor would get in it's
native haunts, then it might be proper
to discuss whether Hawaii needed pro-
lection or not.

more than one month-befOre they got

that what was good in small doses must

"Another thing the gentleman from
Indiana evidently overlooks and that is
when he seeks to hit the Hawaiian su-
gar industry he deals a body blow at
his own state. If he doesn't know, he
ought to, that there is a million dollar
plant in his state and the desire for
many more on the part of his cOnstitu
ents, a desire which is certain to go un.
gratified under free sugar. He may OF
may not know that after the Decatur
plant was put up investigations were
made and plans put under way to build
others. Naturally these plans were
rldoned when the free trade brain
storm hit the country.
"SomcOne ought to tell him that in
ibis state with only one factory, and
that one only of medium size, sugar
beets to the value of $l71 ,25l.45 were
grown by the farmers of eight northern
counties and the acreage il is estimate
has been practically doubled for the
coming season. There were sos, bee
growers in the state last year and thii
year the number has increased to. $40
This is of course but very, very small
number as compared with other states
but, then, Indiana is only starting.
Whether or not he wishes to pro
tect the Hawaiian sugar industry the
gentleman ought to realize that in cut

LONDON, August 3l.-(Correspond-

close of the war, writes Lord Haldane
in an appeal to the school teachers OF
the country, published in the current
issue of the Teachers World. He
writes:
81 appeal to teachers to consider
deeply the problem of the present and
the future, seeking to know how best
they may help their country in the
period of stress which will follow the
declaration of peace.
"The proper training of the body Is
no less important than the equipment

to which people realize the Importance
, of educa ton as factor in the nation 3
welfare. This attitude is not confined
TO any one class and prevails among
members of the House Of Lords in com
mon with every other section of the
community. The remedy Is TO remove
! education from the realms of the alb
stract, and TO regard it as complex
Of problems, difficult, il may be. in
themselves, but still capable Of being
solved.
"The war will impose severe re-
: Ftraints on expenditure, but even with
in the limits of necessary frugality we
can do much to establish a system of
national education which will have
beneficial results on, the citizens Of the

a system VIII be capable of expansion

pare the way by training their pupils
in right regard for knowledge, and
by helping 70 set before the public u
