 The afternoon was passed pleasantly with whist, Mrs. W. R. Richards winning first prize, lovely silver spoon. Miss Helen Smith being consoled with a box of dainty stationery.
 Then the guests were led to the dining room which was a fairies palace indeed. A lovely bell of pink and white roses with a single large pink rose as clapper hung from the center of the room and festoons of pink and white hearts were everywhere.
 Dan Cupid with his famous bow and arrow, a lovely little bride in pink bows and sheer white veil and a groom in con. ventional black formed a beauti ful and appropriate center piece, around which were grouped tiny cupid favors on hearts with the date January 13, written in gold

Grand Canyon q National Park Conversion of the Grand Can
 yon of the Colorado into national park was urged at last Friday S session of the. National Parks conference Tn Washington by speakers who declared thousands of tourists last year left that great natural wonder disgusted with conditions which rob visit ors of enjoying its beauties.
 Guides and livery solicitors continually harass the tourist. and fights among these men place visitors in danger, accord ing to L. c. Way, of the forest service. He declared the forest service, which has jurisdiction over the Grand Canyon is not permitted by law to regulate per sonal conduct.
 Representative Foss of Ohio said it was an outrage that the national government had not taken steps to make the Grand Canyon more easily accessible to the people and declared he would urge improvements.
 It was pointed out that 106,- 900 people visited the Grand Can yon in 1915. That was 64,000 more than visited the three lar gest national parks.

Lduddble Undertaking

There is being circulated in
 Holbrook a petition to the Ari- zona State Board of Control, re- questing that body to use the first money available for state highway purposes Tn repairing that portion of the Old Trails highway leading from Holbrook to the New Mexico state line. That portion of the road in Navajo county between Holbrook and the Apache county Ilne is said to be in very bad condition, and if the state board of control will assist in building the road the condition will be greatly im- proved. The petition to the state board is being generally signed by citizens of Holbrook.
 In this connection it may be stated that Navajo county is handicapped in road building by lack of sufficient funds. Realiz- ing this, the board of supervi- sors, at it's regular monthly meet ing February 5. will probably call an election for the purpose of voting an issue of bonds for road improvement purposes. At the January meeting the super visors discussed this proposition and the opinion of the members seemed to be in favor of. a bond election. The question will pro- bably be definitely settled at the February meeting of the board.
