MUTUAL BENEFITS
WILL FOLLOW BUILDING OF
SEDONA- FLAGSTAFF ROAD
(By EDGAR WOODRUFF, in Jerome News.)

RADIO and California, oats and wheat
from Nebraska and lumber from San
Pedro. Flagstaff and Williams get
their apples from jacksonville and
Hood River and their vegetables from
California Japs. This all comes
about from the lack of connecting
link Of road % miles or so long down
the Oak Creek canyon. Please note
what will happen when this road is
connected up.
The Possibilities
The Verde farmer will fill his mo-
tor truck with his fruits and produce
and in from three to four hours will
be in Flagstaff. An hour and a half
more and he can be in Williams. He
unloads his produce with the mer-
chant; fresh peaches, juicy apples,
crisp tomatoes, firm lettuce, luscious
sweet potatoes, toothsome melons. The
customer receives it only few hours
after it is picked. Now, what does this
Verde rancher do? Cram his cash in
to his jeans and hot-foot it home :?
No, he says, "Mr. Merchant, Mr.. Man
of the Potato Growers Exchange, /
want load of spuds, or l want load
of oats, l want ton of your noun
tain flour, or want 1000 feet Of your
lumber"
Your small town merchant is a
queer duck, for he is often among our
best and most progressive citizens, he
is nevertheless spooked by his own
fears and befuddled by the ghost chill
dren of his own imagination. I'll bet
Verde red apple against Coconino
blue that both Flagstaff and Williams
have merchants who would fear to see
his section of road opened lest Yer
de rancher now and then would ped
die his stuff from house to house and
then put his money in his pocket and
scat home. And it is more than like
ly some would dispose of their pro-
duce in this direct fashion. But where
the merchant would be the gamer
would be when such rancher got ready
to return home.
This very fall such a thing hap
pened as / am referring to. An Oak
Creek rancher took load of produce

quite a bit since he went to market
in Flagstaff, but he wanted to see old
friends, so he left the truck in the
shed and got out the archaic team of
horses. He sold his stuff readily, part
of it to his friends around town and
part to one Of the stores, and when he
got ready to return home he went to
one store and bought $48 worth Of
corrugated roofing and to another
store and bought bill Of groceries,
and on his way home he bought from
a rancher few sacks of spuds and
half dozen sacks Of wheat. Next week
the rancher who sold this peddler the
spuds and wheat went to town and
paid his grocery bill with the money.
Mutual Benefits
As long as the Verde country wants
potatoes, grain and lumber it is not
likely that the rancher will go home
empty handed after disposing of his
truck load of produce. The farmers
of the country are the largest consul
mers of lumber, but in recent years
freight rates have put the cost of lum-
Der out of the farmers reach. The
The Coconino sun. (Flagstaff, Ariz.) 1898-1978, 1921-12-30

Work on Yavapai county's modern
highway from the town Of Verde to
Sedona is nearing completion. A
feet of giant trucks are engaged in
spreading the hard top surfacing up
on this, the first unit in Yavapai
county's chain of good roads. When
Coconino county completes the high
way from Flagstaff down to the Oak
Creek Canyon to connect with this
road it is safe to predict that this will
be one of the busiest arteries in Ari-
zona's entire road system.
Before the advent of the auto truck
there was quite little traffic between
the truck and fruit ranchers of the
Verde valley and Flagstaff. This was
carried on by wagons over the Schneb-
~ hill road and the all but impossible
trail up Beaver creek and Rattlesnake
Tanks. Since the adoption Of the mo-
tor truck for ranch hauling there has
been practically no interchange OF
commodities between the two sections,
all because there is no road from the
Verde to Flagstaff that modern
truck can negotiate without running
the risk Of begging down or scraping
its stomach off on some malapai boul-
der. Last year Yavapai county put a
crew Of men on the Rattlesnake Tanks
road and this section of the Coconino
line was put in fair shape for motor
traffic, except for surfacing. But no
road in a malapai formation is safe
for motor traffic until hard surface
has been put on it, and this costs
money.
Must Build Road
The people of Coconino county will
be standing in their own light and
tramping on their own toes if they
fail to build the road down Oak Greek
canyon. For the past few years it
was thought that Coconino's wealth
consisted solely in lumber and stock.
Recent years have convinced them
that agriculture will in very few
years grow into their greatest source
of wealth. The lowly spud fourishes
in the malapai mud Of the Mogollon
mountains as nowhere else in the
world flourishes without artificial
irrigation and in many cases without
cultivation. Ten years hence it is
safe to predict that the spud alone
will yield the people Of this county
more revenue than cattle, sheep and
hogs combined. And in addition to
spuds there will be an enormous sur
plus Of grain and hay. Buckwheat
and fax will no doubt be grown prof.
tably. And with the coming Of this
prosperity the good people Of this Sec
ton will need as never before some
new outlet for their products. This
outlet will be the Oak Greek highway.
Nom Competitive
1t is seldom one finds two contig-
uous counties whose products are so
diverse and non-competitive as are
the crops of Yavapai and Coconino
counties. The Verde valley is the ma
trral home Of luscious fruits and tooth
some vegetables, while the regions
around and south Of Flagstaff and
Williams produce the finest spuds and
small grains out-of- doors.
For some years past the prosperous
mining towns of the Verde district
have shipped in potatoes from Colo

POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT URG.
ES UNIFORM SIZE CARDS

Postmaster j. Walter Payne has
received a copy of an official letter
mailed by the Postofice Department
at Washington to all Offices in the
United States, as follows:
please urge the public to desist
from using mail size cards and en-
yelopes, which are common at the
Christmas period. We hope that the
stationers will not stock up on these
small sizes. An untold amount OF
time is used in cancelling such mail
by hand, as it will not pass through
the cancelling machines which are
built to cancel the proper sizes OF
envelopes at the maximum rate OF
10000 an hour. The. hand stamping
not only causes delay to the small
size card and envelope, but also de-
laws the other mail which follows.
"In this connection we appeal to
the women especially to avoid stylish
forms of handwriting. 'Debutante

and use instead a plain, If not 30

that saved the Rex A. C. nine from

The Bloomer Girls, attired in gay

Although Miss Stella Friss, first

she contributed star fielding plays
and accepted all but one of her 19

Hitting honors for the girlies fell
to Miss Roth, who gathered three

Despite the good work Of the girls,
