Gus trading post and gets some very
high grade blankets.
We then took the road for Hubbell's
! Post. at Canada This is the oldest
and most prominent of all on the Res
erVation and we were fortunate in
finding the Honorable J. L. at home.
Mr. Hubbell is another pioneer in this
country, and has beautiful ranch of
100 acres of very choice land, 40 acres
of which is in alfalfa, and just here l
must say | have seldom seen, even in
the Salt River Valley, finer stand.
judged it will produce from :..e pres
ent cutting one and a half tons to the
acre. and alfalfa sells here at Canada
for $500 per ton-so this one cut
ting amounts to about $4,000 off of
! only 40 acres-and Mr. Hubbell now
has q force of men preparing the
ground TO put in anothers 100 acres in
alfalfa
Heretofore his ranch has been irri-
gated by "a reservoir, home made af-
fair, and rather crude, but now the
| government has recently expended
/ $100, 10000 for the construction of "a
large reservoir three miles from Ga
nado. and it is now being built. In
fact, it is almost completed. This will
eventually lrflgate a large area In this
district and make the land very val
liable. Mr. Hubble makes the state
ment that he is going to have the most
valuable 100 acres of farming land in
! Arizona. He now values it at 81 900. 90
per acre.
; AS usual we found some very beau
tiful blankets here and left the next
| day for Keam's Canyon, fifty miles
distant. At Keams Canyon we had
the pleasure of meeting DR. Hough and

we found the road in fairly good con-
dition II is difficult to get over this
road on account of the sand, when it
is extremely dry.
On arriving at Gallup we visited
several big traders, and found a great
scarcity of Navajo blankets, especially
the better grades, and very little de-
sirable silver such as bracelets. rings,
belts, ETC. ard the outlook is far from
good for the present, as the Navajos
are doing little weaving. They are
great sheep. goat and cattle raisers.
and the average Indian family owns
from 300 to 500 head of sheep and
goats in their herd This year they
are receiving top notch prices for their
products sheep are higher than ever
before and pelts of couse in proper
ton. Wool is selling for from 26 to 80
cents per pound and one can readily
see that the Indians in this northern
country are at present on easy street,
and when conditions like this exist.
they will not weave blankets. for all
that the best and most expert weaver
can hope to make is about ten cents
per day. This Navajo tribe is very
prosperous, and some of them quite
wealthy | have just had the pleasure
of meeting Chez Dodge-the John d.
of the whole works, the richest cattle
and sheep man of the Navaios. He is
reputed to be worth $3.50, 900 90. has

Dodge and a Ford. He lives between
TT Defiance and Crystal in an unpre-
tentious hogan" seventy miles from
any railroad.
After selecting a few blankets in
Gallup, we were invited by Mr.. C. G.
Manning, a most prosperous Indian
trader in this country to accompany
him to a famous trading post at Crys-
tai. distance of about 20 miles north
from the railroad.
This is a most beautiful spot. stu
ated among gigantic pine trees, at ar
altitude of 5000 feet Here we were

next morning to F't. Defiance. where

largest schools on the Navajo Reser-

to produce Just that type of car which.
because of its exclusive qualities,
tasteful lines, rich finishing and Gle

All of the special features of the
new car so appealing to the feminine

Flagstaff is booming town and
many improvements are going for
ward. Among other things several
miles of macadamlzed streets are now
being built and a $500, 900 hotel being
planned.
From Flagstaff to Winslow. a dis
tace of thirty-four miles, we found
fine roads and more beautiful pine
forests From Winslow to Holbrook.
thirty eight miles, the road is fair, but
is being considerably improved by the
building of bridges.
All through this northern country
much attention is given to the keeping
up of the roads and no expense is
spared to make travel comfortable and
pleasant The roads are all well
signed and there is no chance of one
losing his way.
We arrived in Ilolbrook without
mishap and | was very fortunate to
find small collection of prehistoric
pottery for sale and needless to say
purchased it. This pottery is becoming
extremely scarce.
During our stay in Holbrook we had
the pleasure of seeing a private col
lection of prehistoric pottery belonging
! to Mr. w H. Scorse. This is said to
be the finest and largest collection of
| pottery in the United States compris-
| ing some $500 pieces and valued at
! $20. 900. This is not for sale.

wonderful we have visited. Acres and
acres of perified trees, all having
fallen apparently in the same direc-

feet in length and measure as much as
eight feet in diameter. We enjoyed
gathering the wood and succeeded in
getting a quantity of choice specimens
of all sizes and OF the most exquisite
colors

After a month spent in northern
Arizona on his annual buying trip on
the Navajo reservation, E. L. Graves,
the Indian trader of this city. has
sent to the Republican the following
account of portion Of his trip. Mr..
Graves is an Observant traveller, and
at the Republicans request made
notes regarding the roads and places
of interest to tourists, so his letters
should be of interest and value to all
who are planning on an excursion from
Phoenix to the Grand Canyon or to
the Navajo country this season.
HolbrOok, Arizona
Well here we are at Holbrook after
most fortunate journey overland
from Phoenix, no mishaps of any
description, not even a puncture or
a blowout.
l thought you might be glad to
know something of the roads traV-
eled over during our journey Leav-
ing Phoenix the road, generally speak
ing, to Prescott is good. After leav-
ing Wickenburg the road is quite
rough, especially around Congress
Junction and Tub Springs; very steep
grades and rough roads around Tub
Springs.
We camped the first night at Kirk
Q
Evans, who owns a large ranch there,
and we pitched our tent near his
home Here we had an abundance
Of cool mountain water Inquiring
about the road from Kirkland to
Prescott. Mr.. Evans advised US that
the road was very rough nearing
Copper Basin hill for a distance of
seven miles, where ore is being
hauled in large quantities, causing
hog backs and many chucks. and ad-
vised us to go via Williamson and
Skull Valley, which road is twenty
five miles further.
We took Mr.. Evans advice and at
Skull Valley station we took the left
hand road and found almost boule-
ward nearly all the way to Prescott.
This road runs through a beautiful
pine forest and is natural park
We arrived in Prescott and found a
good camping ground near the hospital
among the pines that had been set
aside by the chamber of commerce of
Prescott for the tourists going over
land The grounds were pretty well
filled with motorists from every direc-
ton, Phoenix, Tempe Mesa Chandler
and as far as California.
We remained here at Prescott dur
ing the Fourth of July festivities and
enjoyed it all immensely; weather
most delightful
We left Prescott for the Grand Can
yon and found the road as far as Je-
rome Junction. a distance of twenty
miles, one grand boulevard. and from
Jerome Junction to Ash Fork the road
is good. Just ten miles before we
reached Ash Fork we visited the Ca
thedral Caves, two miles off the main
road, and found most wonderful

She seized his right ear and led him.
