LET'S COME ALIVE AND
 HAVE SWITZER LAKE
Continued from page 1.)

if built anywhere else than in Switzer Canyon would cost much more than a lake in the canyon ever would.
 But right now the water department hasn't sufficient funds to build the lake. There stands to the credit of the department a good many thous- and dollars that will eventually be re- paid it. The department makes a profit of between ten and twenty thousand dollars a year. But the town has nearly trebled in population in the last ten years. The taxes can be in- creased only ten per cent a year. Other sources of revenue have not afforded funds sufficient to take care of the various civic improve ments demanded, needed and provided; hence the water department funds have had to be used to meet the def icit. Eventually the water fund will be reimbursed.
 The only means for building the lake this year or within the next few years can come, apparently, only from bonding for the amount needed. This probably would not exceed thirty lHbuSdHu bolldiS, Hlpnt Dt lluIh ltSs than that. This town has smaller bonded indebtedness than almost any other town of it's size in the United States. It can well afford the small amount of additional bonds necessary to build the dam. The bonds can easily be paid as they mature from the funds of the water department, which means that the taxpayers will not be called upon to bear any addi- tional expense because of the lake.
 It is time to let busy. Talking all around the subject will never get us anywhere. The chamber of commerce should act. The Boosters club more than a year ago endorsed the plan. It looks like it was just about up to the city council.
 Let's get some action, gentlemen. We have the means right at our hand for making an improvement that will add greatly to the fame and prosper ity of Flagstaff. The possibilities in the plan are immense.
 Why wait until Lake Mary and with stores and garages that will take trade away from Flagstaff We have the chance to make more beautiful, more convenient, hundred times more popular lake than Lake Mary is or ever can be, and have it within a year and within fifteen minutes walk ing distance of the postoffice.
 The Sun would build the lake if it could afford it. The Sun cannot do all the things needed for city improve ment without help. We are not dis couraged, but we would like to see some of the other citizens really come alive and do something.

MUCH PAVING WILL BE LAID
 IN FLAGSTAFF THIS SEASON
Continued from page 1.)

practically indestructible street. Il is the same type as the paving or Michigan avenue, Chicago.
 On residence streets the base vii probably be four inches.
 It is figured that the crushed rock base can be put in for lot less money than the black base or concrete base
 Two years ago this summer, it will be remembered, bids were received for paving of this type on North AgassiZ street. It would have cost more than $11 per front foot each side of the street. Present lower costs of materials and labor, city owner ship of the rock crusher and the fact that the Warren Bros Construction Co. already has it's equipment here and will in a few weeks be finishing up the bithulithic paving of the Old Trails route through town, have con- vinced the council that paving ex- pense this coming season will prob ably not be more than half what it was two years ago.
 If 51 per cent of the owners of property along the sections above enumerated where paving is contem- plated, protest against the paving, the whole plan fails. But council has as surance that with very few exceptions the property owners are strongly for the improvement.
 It must be remembered that, though it may cost each property owner six or seven dollars a front foot for pay ing and curb and gutter, he has ten years in which to pay the bill, the in terest, it is said, being six per cent. Considering the need for paving, the splendid type of paving contemplated which without doubt is the kind best adapted to this climate-and the prob ability that costs will never be lower than this spring, property owners should be clamoring for paving on their streets. The cost of the paving will be more than returned to owners in the increased convenience to every person using the streets and the increased values of their holdings, to say nothing of the greater conven- fence to every person using the streets and the greater attractiveness of the town to visitors. Flagstaff can do nothing right now to insure faster, more substantial growth than to pave the streets.
 It is reported that property owners on South Beaver street are fast lin ing up to ask that that street be in clided in the summers paving pro- gram.

ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION
 By the Governor of Arizona.

Nature is closely associated in the minds of the human race with immor. tality. Its manifestations and the les. sons gleaned from its study, point ou, and support the hope, and what we be. lieve to be the truth that though a man die, yet shall he live again" Il is therefore understandable why the people of the state of Arizona through its legislature, decreed that the governor shall designate and sci apart day on which things material are forgotten and that it be devoted to the observance of a significant ana meaningful custom.
 It is the duty of the governor "to make proclamation recommending that the Arbor Day established be ob- served in the planting of trees, shrubs and vines, in the promotion of forest and orchard growth and culture, in the adornment of public and private grounds, places and ways and in such other efforts and undertakings as shall be in harmony with the charac- ter of the day so established
 There is special admonition in the statutes that the children of public schools shall assist, to the end that school grounds shall be adorned with trees, this to be an object lesson in the benefits of the preservation and perpetuation of the forests. It is made the duty of the school authori- ties to cause the children to assemble and to hold exercises to include the planting, protection and preservation of trees and shrubs.
 In no other section of our union is this day of such prime importance as in Arizona. Here a tree means the presence of water and its shade is doubly grateful to the wayfarer or to the homebuilder The planting of trees means development and the ad- vance of civilization. Our state is of such grand dimensions and of such variant climates that it has been found necessary to provde two dates, for different attitudes.
 Now, there, I. Thomas F.. Campbell, governor of the state of Arizona, by virtue of the authority vested in me, and in conformity with the provisions of Paragraphs 2S37-2840, Chapter xxx of the Revised Statutes of Ari- zona, do hereby designate and set apart, the 4th day of February, 1921, as Arbor Day, to be observed in the counties of Cochise, Gila, Graham, Greenlee, Maricopa, Pima, Pinal, Santa Cruz and Yuma; and similarly do l designate and set apart Friday, the Sth day of April, 1921, as Arbor Day for due observance in the coun- ties of Apache, Coconino, Mohave, Navajo and Yavapai; and urgently re- quest that the people generally join in the proper observance of these occa- sions.
 In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the state of Arizona to be affixed. Done at Phoenix, the capital, this 1st day of February, 1921.
 THOMAS E. CAMPBELL, (Great SeaD Governor. Attest:

NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES

The senior class of the Normal school met Monday and elected Miss Fay Lawhead as the editor-in-chief of the La CueSta for this year. Miss Lawhead is one of the Norma's best students as well as one of the most popular girls in school. She well de- serves the honor given herN
 This year the composition of the La Cuesta will be in the hands of the en- tire school. Until this year it has been edited by the senior classes. In the assembly Tuesday students were elected to represent the different classes. The following were the hon ored ones:
 Editor-in-chief, Miss Fay Lawhead.
 Assistant editor, Mareline Fairchild.
 Business manager, Reba SwitZer.
 Assistant bushes manager, Paul Glassey.
 Organization editor, Gladys Me Phaul.
 Art editor, Blanche Gardener.
 Joke editor, Nellie Maxwell.
 Athletic manager, Tenn Patterson.
 Pine editor, Edna Poison.
 Society editor, Jennie Naegle.
 With all these energetic young peo- pie at its head, the La Cuesta of this year will, without doubt, be the best ever yet published.
 In Mondays assembly Miss Helen Sandon gave very interesting talk about her experiences during farmers week at the University of Arizona.
 The Kinlani Nalnisi society met on Wednesday night for it's initiation program. The new members report a very lively and interesting meeting.
 The Williams basketball girls came last Saturday expecting to take away with them the scalp of the Normal school basketball girls. Since the Will liams girls had defeated Winslow and Winslow had won over the Flagstaff girls, the team from Williams was wholly unprepared for the slaughter that took place that evening. Will Hams played good, hard game, but the Normal school girls were just too fast for them. The score was 23-9.
 The boys basketball team returned from the valley, where they played Mesa, Tempe Normal and Phoenix Junior College. They lost every game, but their opponents gave them credit for playing clean, hard games. Un- doubtedly the change in altitude had great deal to do with their playing,

BIG MONEY SAVED BY
 KILLING ANIMAL PESTS
Continued from Page 1.)

"In the campaigns conducted in Ari- zona against prairie dogs, jackrabbits and pocket gophers, we assisted B. 907 gamers and stockmen in distrib- uting 57,349 quarts of poisoned grain and gas over 439,424 acres of infesta- ton.
 "A circular letter was sent out to all who were assisted and according to the signed statements of the farmers and stockmen, crops of oats, wheat, beans, corn, maize, alfalfa, cotton, range grasses, and fruit trees of to- tai value of $5S6, ,050.00 were saved as a direct result of the campaign.
 Many of the signed statements from farmers and stockmen over the state will doubtless be of more inter- est than any other material which we might include in this report, and sev- eral concrete examples from each county can be submitted. Hundreds of statements are on file at our office.
 -Four miles of rabbit fence is now available for jackrabbit drives and plans are under way to control the armies of jackrabbits which invade the fields at Tucson, Casa Grande, Saf- ford, Chandler, Higley, Buckeye and other points.

as they were lacking in some of their usual pep. The Tempe Normal had the best team they have met. This team has been playing since last fall. Their team work was like a machine and our boys found it impossible to break up their plays. The game with Mesa was fast and furious-perhaps more furious than fast. Had it not been fo rthe fact that our team was not used to the outdoor court, it would have stood good chance of de- feating the Junior College team of Phoenix, as the score with them was 1922.
 The boys leave Thursday for Pres- colt, where they play the Prescott team Thursday night. They expect an danticipate a battle royal-the spirit of revenge for Prescott's hay in gbeaten them two games in foot ball last fall. From Prescott they go to Jerome, where they play Friday night. From Jerome they go to Clarkdale, playing them Saturday night. Those making the trip with Professor L. A. Eastbun as chaper- one are: Paul Glassey, Chester Nay, Frank Saunders, Jack Heckethorne, Lawrence Campbell, Jones, Valentine Barrett and Cleon Etter.
 Speaking about basketball, the school things it has joke on Profess sor Walker. Wednesday, he was hur- rying and scurrying around for a mode of conveyance for his training school boys to Winslow. He finally had all preparations completed only to find out that it was a girls team Winslow wanted, and as MT. Walker could not disguise his small huskies as girls, the game had to be called off.
 On Tuesday night, February eight, the Y. w. C. A. girls are giving big chicken dinner and all that goes with a chicken dinner. Along with the din- ner goodprogram is to be given.
 The girls basketball team leaves Thursday morning to play Prescott Thursday night. The boys team also plays Prescott at the same time. Pre- ceding the doubleheader game the representatives of the Normal, Misses Harrington and Dimnick, will debate representatives of the Prescott high school. The girls team will play Will liams on their return trip, while the boys go to Jerome and Clarkdale be- fore returning.
