COCONINO FARMERS
 PLAN TO BUILD NEW
 POTATO WAREHOUSES

So many farmers subscribed for stock toward building new potato warehouses at various railroad points in this county at the picnic on Sun day at Red Lake of members of the Coconino Farm Bureau Marketing as sociation that it seems certain that the project will easily be carried through to success.
 The meeting was held primarily for that purpose, the need of local ware houses being we'll established. Nearly every farmer in the valley was at the meeting, including representatives from Flagstaff, Williams, Spring Val ley and Garland Prairie.
 Marketing plans were discussed in connection with this falls crop and approved, and the kind, size and cost of a potato warehouse at Williams pretty well lined out. Then came the subscriptions from the farmers to start the proposition off, every one of them present taking block of the stock.
 Hot dogs and green corn disap- peared rapidly at meal time. Then Professor T. H. Cureton of Williams explained the proposed bond issue for 2 new $100,000 high school at Will Hams for school district No. 2. Miss Virginia M. Lockett, county school su- perintendent, explained school taxa ton and the distribution of the mon eys to the rural districts.
 Altogether the gathering was a huge success, ana the farmers came away feeling that they can and must have proper storage for their produce so that it can be graded and marketed efficiently.

perienced aviator like himself, was

perienced aviator like himself, was startled for moment.
 "One of the park rangers was near the field throwing up dust so I could get the direction of the currents of air near the ground. The wind chang ed 50 degrees while 1 circled the landing place once. The place select ed looked far enough from the river gorge when on the ground, but dan gerously near the jumping-off place when viewed from the airplane. told the photographer to loosen his belt ready to jump if necessary, said my prayers, throttled the motor, cir cled over a 1500-foot chasm, and set her down just over the edge of the landing place, and rolled to within 10 feet of the field, probably 100 feet from the edge of 1200-foot gorge.
 'The park superintendent had had a place cleared of sage brush, 60x500 feet. There was nothing in sight to anchor to, so l blocked the wheels and started for the top via mule pow CT. The next morning 1 walked down and took off at 10:12, circled around over the field until 1 gained 1000 foot altitude, then gradually worked nearer the edge as l rose. It took five min utes to climb to the level of the south rim.
 Tt surprised me the way she climb ed out. The upward currents near the side walls helped wonderfully. After circling round near the hotels, snap ping pictures and being shot, came over the rim and readed south, for Williams. On August IS, last Friday, l made another trip into the Canyon for the Fox Film company.
 Events were about the same, with the exception that l did tail spin for about 1000 feet in the canyon The air currents in the Canyon were about what 1 had expected from two days of study before dropping in. Up ward currents near the walls, prob ably for half mile out, and down ward current farther out, more notice able towards the windward side of the Canyon.
 "Oh yes, l forgot to mention the | fact that Cameraman Anthony helo his nerve fine until l told him we would tail spin down. He suggested he'd prefer to get out and walk then begged me not to spin, and ther refused to turn the camera crank. told him if he didn't turn it, l would throw him out. l whipped her into a spin, and he continued to crank Then when I levelled off, he wanted more!"

DARING AVIATOR LANDS
 IN THE GRAND CANYON

R. V. Thomas, who did stunts with his airplane here some time ago, made a landing in the Grand Canyon last week without accident. In an account of his experience given to the Pres colt Courier after landing there, MT. Thomas says:
 "Of all the interesting experiences | I have had in five years of flying, the dip into the Canyon was about the most hair-raising.
 The Courier continues:
 He landed in Prescott yesterday af- ternoon, but expects to move in near CT before beginning to carry passen- gers. A field that is absolutely safe and also suitable is hard to find, and Mir. Thomas said today he intended to get safe field first, no matter how far out it might be.
 Discussing his airplane, he says it one especially built for flying at a high altitude, it's resistance to the thinner air being acquired through use of more powerful engine and in oth- CT ways. The engine used is of 1S0 horsepower.
 One of the most interested passen- gers carried by MT. Thomas was President Obregon and several gover- nors of Mexican states, the aviator says. He took them up for the Ne braska Aircraft company and Presi- dent Obregon decided he didn't care about ever coming down again. Per haps rebellious war-torn Mexico nev- CT looked so good to MT. Obregon, as from his vista in the air, but he real ized it was only peaceful when seen at safe distance.
 Of his flight and drop into the Grand Canyon, MT. Thomas has sup piled a copy of the record of the days experience as follows:
 Arose at a. m. Had breakfast and got the motor started at 7:50. then spent an hour letting the motion picture man take pictures from differ. ent places. By the time we were ready to hop off, the spark plugs were filled with oil from so much idhng of the motor without chance to burn it out. finally got the plugs chang. ed and hopped off at 9:10. At 9:3( the north rim of the Canyon came into view. Word can not express what g wonderful sight it was,
 | At $50 we were over the Can yon, taking pictures and testing the air currents. At 10 o'clock I dropped or rather dove over the edge of the Canyon, surrounded on three sides by cheering crowds, on the other by 1t miles of the toughest looking country an aviator ever bucked up against. l q strengthened out 2000 feet below the rim and circled around to gel | some still pictures, as the motion pic ture man had broken the crank on hi:
 machine as we dropped into the Can
 yon. He evidently was scared as bae as l."
 | Mir. Thomas explains that when h'
 dipped into the Canyon the air cur
 rents were such that they sucked tn, lmachine down so rapidly, even an ex

Egg Harbor Again
Takes First Place
Regulars Lose Two Games and
Forfeit Lead in Championship
Contest of County.

Gegan's Pleasantville Regulars are
again trailing behind in the Atlantic
County Baseball championship con-
test. They won first place with some
fine exhibitions of ball playing and
then they took a decided slump and
the streak of bad luck hangs to them
like a nemesis. They had their first
bad setback last Thursday, when they
went to Philadelphia and suffered a
defeat at the hands of the Lit Broth
ers team, whom they had badly beaten
in a former game here.
Then on Saturday they %journeyed
to Hammonton where it was expected
they had a real cinch. However,
events proved otherwise for the Ham
monitor team won the game by a score
of 81. Gegan pitched this game. He
allowed Hammonton three hits in the
beginning of the game, which were
well punched and netted the two runs.
The best Pleasantville could do after
that was to score once in the seventh
inning. The Regulars were handi-
capped in this game by the absence
of Sanders behind the bat and Jimmy
Carmack at second base.
On Sunday the Regulars met their
old rivals, the Egg Harbor team. This
was a bitter one for Pleasantville, as
the score resulted in a victory for
Egg Harbor, who had seven runs to
their credit, with only two for the
Regulars. Dump" Adams was on the
mound but he suffered a severe set
back, allowing the Wine City team to
secure ten safe hits Egg Harbor be-
gan the fireworks in the first inning
by scoring a run. This was followed
up by four more in the second inning
and more scoring in the third. Pleas
antville did not score until the sew.
enth, when they secured their two
runs.
Egg Harbor has now won seven
games In the series and lost two.
Pleasantville has won six and lost
three. Hammonton is trailing along
with two victories and four defeats,
while Germania has lost six SO far
and won none.

Enrolment
In City's History
Opening Day of Public Schools
Finds Many Classes Compelled
to Take Half Time.

When the public schools opened on
Monday for the 1929 term 1t was
found that the enrolment of pupils
throughout the city was the largest in
the history of Pleasantville. This had
beer anticipated by the school officials
because of the rapid increase in popu-
iation. No classes were conducted on
the opening day as the time was spent
in assigning pupils to their places,
distribution of books and, at the High
School, planning the schedule of work
for the school year. The actual school
work started on Tuesday morning
when the regular work was taken up
in each school.
The enrolment in the high school
building was not as large as last year,
due TO the barring of nonresident pu-
pills and also because many of the
students will not return until the sec
ond week of work starts. About $50
pupils registered, according to figures,
from Superintendent of Schools Sulli-
vans office. The enrolment last year
was 325, a certain percentage being
out of town pupils, however.
In School No. !, at Woodland ave
nue., figures of pupils reporting were
not completed, but il was stated that
an extra heavy enrolment was made.
Fourteen classes of that school are
running on half time from the first to
the fifth grades inclusive, with the ex-
ception of the fifth A.
In No. 2 school, on Park avenue,
every room in the building is filled al
most to capacity, including the voca-
tional rooms Of last year, which have
been transformed into class rooms.
No classes are being run on half time
in this building.
