PLANNING ROAD FROM FLAG
STAFF TO FRISCO PEAKS

Flagstaff Work is planned to be-
gin in the spring on the construction
Of the scenic boulevard from Flagstaff
to the top of the San Francisco peaks,
distance of Is miles.
Announcement to this effect was
made last evening by John w. Wea-
therford OF Phoenix and Flagstaff,
father of the highway.
Weatherford, who is one of AriZo-
mas leading citizens, and who got the
government permit for the road, has
been working on the preliminary de-
tails for several years.
The altitude of the highest of the
San Francisco peaks is 12,600 feet.
That altitude is too high for some
people, therefore the magnificent
hotel that is to be constructed in con-
nection with the scenic boulevard will
be butt at an altitude of 1900 feet,
about four and one-half miles north of
hotel throughout
The road will be Of decomposed
granite and will be twenty feet wide.
The department of the interior re-
quired, originally, road Is feet wide,
and later recommended Is feet. but
through the efforts of Weatherford
they finally agreed on a wider road
one 20 feet in width.
While the hotel will not be con-
structed at the top Of the peaks, it
does not mean there will be no ac-
commodations for the many visitors
who will come from all parts Of the
world to go to the top. lodge will
be erected at the summit, and from
THIS lodge it is said that person will
be able to 'look down" into six states,
Arizona, New Mexico, California, Utah
Nevada and Colorado.
Chicago capitalists are said to be in
terested in the hotel and lodge pro-
jects. The hotel, at an altitude of
1900 feet, will be situated about one
mile above the toll gate.
CONSTRUCTION of the hotel will
mean more business for the hotels in
Flagstaff The overflow from it will
keep the Flagstaff hotels filled at all
tines said Weatherford, who is own
er of the Weatherford hotel in Flag
staff.
It will take aboue four months to
build the highway, and it is not
thought it will be completed in time
for the summer tourist traffic this
year.
1t will be a great asset for Flag
staff and the state in general. 1t will
help build up this section. 1t will be
l benefit to to everyone in the state
md does not step on the toes Of any
body.
The maximum grade of the highway
will be 8 per cent and it will have an
average of per cent.
Not only will people come here in
The summer time to journey to the top
If the peaks, but they will also come
n the winter, for many California,
Florida, and folks from other warmer
climates desire to get away from the
"sameness". They want to see snow,
and to know there is highway to the
| top of the San Francisco peaks, with
hotel and lodge fitted up for them,
will be a great drawing card.

On the evening of Sunday
January 18th, the people of st.
Pauls parish gathered in the
Church to pay their last respects
to the former Rector, the Rever-
end Jacob Morton White. The
local Masonic Lodge, Of which he
was a member, attended in a
body, as did the Winslow troop
of Boy Scouts Of which he was an
organizer and first Scoutmaster
and which is indebted to him for
so much.
The Church was beautifully
decorated with cedar from the
Arizona hills he loved so we'll,
and scattered among it were
carnations, each symbolizing in
it's silent beauty the life of the
one so dear to us all. The al
ter at which Mr.. White often
celebrated the Communion was
decorated with pine and his
favorite flower, the red carna-
ton. Over the lectern where he
delivered his addresses was
magnificent cross of tuberoses,
smilax, and white carnations
presented by the Masons.
The services began with the
singing of the Professional.
Hymn 1896, "Ten Thousand Times
Ten Thousand in Sparkling
Raiment Bright. Rev. L. B.
Moore of Flagstaff read the open
ing prayers and led in the re-
sponsive reading of the 1st and
23rd Psalms. Mr. Brewster read
the lessons from the 18th Chap
ter of First Corinthians which
was followed by the singing of
the Nunc Dimittis and the pray
ers from the burial Office. Then
the choir and congregation sang
My Faith Looks Up to Thee
Mr.. Whites favorite hymn. Mr..
Brewster then introduced Mr..
Moore who was Influenced to be-
come a clergyman and presented
for ordination by Mr. White. and
Mr.. Moore delivered a most ac-
ceptable memorial address. Then,
while the congregation, with
tear dimmed eyes and bowed
heads, kneeled, the choir render
ing Peace, Perfect Peace" The
Recessional Hymn was For all
Saints who from their Labors
Rest"
Mr.. White came here from Vir-
ginia about eight years ago and
for six years we had the uplift
and association of his wonderful
personality. During his stay
here he became the friend of all
who knew him. always happy,
always ready. to assist any one
and thus he became a part of the
lives of the Winslow people.
Two years ago he left Winslow
to take charge of the parish in
Bisbee. Since then we have had
many endearing messages from
him, but he never returned. He
is gone; we mourn for him; and
our only regret is that we were
not priviledged to minister, with
loving hearts and willing hands,
to his last earthly needs. Heaven
has received him and must be
brighter place because of his
presence.
''He was-woe worth that
word--to each well-thinking
mind,
A spotless friend, a matchless
man, whose virtue ever shined,
Declaring in his thoughts, his
life"
Death slew him not, but he
made death his ladder to the
Skies"

OIL SHALE HOPE
IN GASOLINE CRISIS
Extensive Deposits Pointed to
BY D. C. Auto Man-Give
Rich Yield.

"rhs motor trucks will be kept
running and continuing their good
work la the transportation neld. said
Howard AltsmuH. OF the Altemus MO-
tor Co. CIydesdals distributors In
shington.
"rhs gasoline shortage bogey
should be squelched. and has already
had more attention than II deserves.
OIL shale In the answer OF the motor
truck Industry TO those alarmists who
insist there Is gasoline shortage.
Recent activities Of the Bureau OF
Mines have disclosed the fact that
America Is blessed with a tremendous
area OF potential oil shale DEPOSITS.
and In the future we shall dig most
OF our gasoline out OF these deposits
In solid form, and from them extract
the liquid gasoline.
"The most extensive oil shale de-
posits are located in the Rocky Noun
tain states and In California. Colo
RADIO alone could, by treating 1000
tons of oil shale daily, produce each
day 100000 barrels OF oil. and there
is sufficient shale at hand in Colo
RADIO TO keep up this rate OF produc-
tion for 500 years.
There is little necessity Of mining
for shale right now, as there are
great deposits on the surface and on
the tops of high cliffs. The open-cut
method will produce enough shale to
satisfy all requirements for some
time to come. Some Of the surface de-
posits have already been distilled and
have yielded a very rich oil and gaso-
line content, and il is confidently cN-
pected that when the shale IL taken
from areas below the carth's surface
n greater oil and gasoline percentage
viii be obtained.
"a truck manufacturers duty does
not end with building trucks and sup
plying service for them. He should
be interested in seeing that there will
always be motive power for his prod
uct. and one of the features OF the
Clydesdale Motor Truck Company's
service to its customers is the steps

line situation, in company with the
other manufacturers. to see that there
will always be an ample gasoline sup
ply for trucks. The Clydesdale com
pany believes in preparing now for
the time when il will be necessary to
avail ourselves of the oil shale de-
posits for motive power"

KEEP BRAKES In TRIM
To AVOID ACCIDENTS
Grease Coating on Innings Often
Causes Trouble For
Motorists.

You probably have noticed that at
times your brakes do not hold. 1t
is annoying. 1t frequently is the
cause of serious accidents, for the
brakes are the main safety device of
a motor car. This condition usually
may be corrected with little difficulty.
Very likely the brake lining has be-
which acts as a lubricant. This con-
dition is dangerous, for il may cause
the brakes to slip when applied. At
the earliest opportunity the lining
and the brake drums should be wiped
clean with kerosene.
or the brake lining may become
worn so that insufficient pressure IL
brought to bear against the revolving
metal drum and the car cannot be
stopped quickly A few adjustments.
which any mechanic can make while
you wait, will often compensate for
the reduced thickness of the worn
lining.
If the lining has become worn be-
yond the margin of safety, il is bes:
to take no chances with safety, hut to
have the brakes refined. In the &C.
lection of new brake. lining, the
motorist should be guided by the ex-
perience of the leading automotive
engineers who have made numerous
analyses and tests OF various kinds
of brake lining material.

Washington is all agog the laws recently

This may be changed by bill recently intro

TO grant admission autoiss from other States with all
the couresies granted local license holders else for

But this new headlight law has two bad features.
One is that has not been adopted In the District and the
other that it is not universal law.
The latter is its chief objection unless some allow

If the Federal Government would pass such law for
the United States under the Interstate Commerce Com

deny the need for an anti glare headlight
The other law made by the Maryland autocrats is that
