 the Chamber of Commerce., developed the next big thing in the way of in- duStrial progress in his talk on the proposed tourist auto line from Grand Canyon to Flagstaff. R. Hunter Clark
 son, a field representative oC the Fred Harvey system, was recently in Flag
 staff gathering the necessary data for the establishment of such service for tourists who desire to sec more Of
 this most Interesting section of the
 country after reaching Grand Can
 y0n. There Is every reason to believe
 that this auto line will be established
 early next spring. IL was the unani- nous opinion of those present, rcnre-
 senting nearly every interest in this
 section of the country, that not Only|
 auto line be established, but q liar
 vey house be located at this end of
 the line to care for this, rapidly grow
 ing tourist travel. 1t is almost need
 less to tell why there should be more
 accommodations for tourists here
 Tourist travel has doubled each ycarI
 the past few years. A small circfe
 drawn around Flagstaff can indicate
 more points of interest than any other
 city iN the world
 Mr. RiOrdan w&s franl, in his state
 mlCnt that a commercial hotel prop
 osition might not be profitable, but
 there WIS a big opportunity for some one Co accommodate that sort Of travel that wanted tic best and were willing to spend few weeks in the very heart of thG old southwest, a country only l
 partly discovered a. yet. What the
 Santa Fc and the Harvey system might do or just what their idea of what should be done, MT. Riordan vaG unable to say, hut he got a unanimous . vote that tl2gstaff'g business men backing the idea that both companies . were losing money by not startingI now to develop the best proposition in tEc southwest.
 Shooting some of the good things We wish to admonish that Miss Myers specially written song on old Fl2G's Rotary club as cIucidatod by Mr. Saunders Tocally, was hit that SCOT ed under Dock Fronskc's management. John e. Thomas h2d a birthday and ! had two men bring in birthday cakcl with ten leap-ycar candles on it, which sigrlfied that he had taken on morcI annual age that day. Don't lmowi how old he is, but he said the first fifty years Of q mans life were tho most troublesome.
 Gustav Becker, the old good roads at SpringeTvilIc, advised that the usual Information gifcn tourists in several points in New Mexico, W2S that several feet of snow covered the roads through Flagstaff regardless of the fact that travel is open to ajl corners. The Chamber of Commerce agreed to take the matter up and sec hat tourists were advised correctly as! ;O road conditions.
 Thc matter of saving Battery D rom being disbanded was discussed. Captain Arthur suggested the neccs- 5ity oi prompt action by the busiseSs rcn CT the l.ss of some $25, eco per year expended fer its upkceD by the government and state.
 President Ri0TGln Of thc Chamber )f Commerce reported progress on means of getting the attractions 5ur- Flagstaff before the people! ,f the cast and said he had promises rom thc Santa Fe people that theyi you'd include such matter in their leZt folder for general distribution. ,lr. Riordan declared FiagstafI was as. "arriving' in q big way. The i lcW and larger water system, lhc i }ak Creek road project and the pro '1scd auto line from Grand Canyon Q Flagstaff meant q great deal to- { yard rapid development. $
 The possibility of a Harvey house f ere was not very remote, though this ,G"id rest mainly or other develop leTta. The Harvey people arc not n&icuS to built hclc but if the bUs- ess interests and people generally de- fred it and conditions warranted ,ho xnenGiturc. they would give 1t con iteration. Mr. Riordan advised that !: @ had an appointment at an early ate with Mr. Harvey to tall, over 10 auto stage line and othe" matters : with the development of : 10 scenic country surrounding Flag :: ,aH and Grand Canyon. :
