c. B. WILSON EULOCIZED
LATE PRES. HARDING AT
ELKS LODGE MEETING

Attorney C. 8. Wilson delivered an
inspiring address to the Elks lodge
on Tuesday night, at their regular
meeting, eulogizing that illustrious de-
parted brother Elk, President Warren
G. Harding.
In introducing Mr.. Wilson, Exalted
Ruler C. M. Archer recalled President
Harding's thoughtful courtesy during
the strenuous days of 1921, when he
sent letter to the Flagstaff Elks re-
GREETING that he could not be here to
attend the Elks annual ball, to which
an invitation had been sent him.
Mr.. Wilson's address was an elo-
quent tribute to the late president.
He characterized him as Americas
greatest Elk and one wlibm history
will reveal to have been one Of the
greatest of our presidents. He re-
viewed the trying conditions he found
when he became president, probably
more trying than ever met by for
mer president He told how patiently
and wisely and we'll he had smoothed
away difficulties, ye-established a bet
ter feeling between this and other
nations, revived business and industry,
reduced the general feeling of unrest
and dissatisfaction, offset anarchy
and bolshevism. He called upon his
hearers to profit by the example OF
Harding's splendid, clean business, so+
cial and family life

determination to put the develop
ment and well being Of their common
wealth first.
It is with the greatest hesitancy
that a comparative outsider like my
self, an easterner whose acquaintance
with your state has been limited to
hardly a year, presumes to give an
opinion as to what is needed to fur
ther Arizona's progress. Having been
asked for a frank statement as to my
observations during my residence, I
give it only as containing the sugges-
tions of an interested visitor who
holds the state in high and affection
ate regard, without thought of crit
icism and in the hope that it may be
found of some slight service in build
ing the Arizona of the future.
First of all, it seems to me that
Arizona needs a greater loyalty to
the state itself-a spirit of co-opera-
ton in furthering its development;
less community and sectional feeling
and more state pride Arizona is the
youngest of the states. It's progress
has hardly more than started; it IS
truly building for the future. The re-
sponsibility upon its citizens is very

SUIT OVER LOCATION OF
HIGHWAY AT ASHFORK

State Engineer Frank Goodman
spent part of Sunday in Flagstaff
with his wife, who is here for the
summer, and left that night for Pres
colt to attend the hearing of an in
junction case brought by Colin Camp
bell and others of Ashfork to prevent
building the new north and south
highway east of Ashfork instead of
west of the town as provided in the
bond election. The u. S. bureau of
public roads engineers changed the
route, to eliminate railroad crossing,
laying out the new line about as far
east of the town as the old line was
west of it. Much of the construction
along the new route has been done.
Ashfork people resent the change,
feeling that many of the people using
the road will be routed right past in
stead of through the town, to the det-
riment of business. The manager of
the Harvey house at Ashfork and 9TH
ers joined Mr.. Campbell in signing the
injunction papers. Most of the new
route is on Mr.. CampbelPs land.

great; they can build solidly, but it
means hard work and earnest cooper
alton, perhaps even to the subjection
of local desires to state progress in
some cases.
In connection with this thought |
believe one of the things Arizona
needs most is for its citizens to know
their state better. Arizonans should
visit other parts Of the state, see their
scenic beauties, become acquainted
with their industries and people. I
have met many people in the southern
and central counties who have never
visited the north, and many in the
north who have never visited the
south. Certainly it would aid tre-
mendously in building state pride if
all citizens could know other sections
If their commonwealth. These inter-
sectional visits would be worth the
while of every individual, too, for ev-
cry district has something of interest
to offer.
Another thing which is needed--but
only in certain communities, as it is
not statewide matter--is more vig-
orous and well-defined I. Community

Lieutenant George Myers of Flag
staff, past exalted ruler of the Flag
staff Elks lodge, was the representa-
tive of the Arizona state department,
American Legion, in the funeral obse-
quies of President Harding in the nat
ional capitol this week.
Mr.. Myers had been in Atlanta as
delegate to the national Elks conven-
ton, then in the New England states
visiting his wife's relatives, and had
returned to Washington, intending to
leave there Monday night for home.
He was located at the Raleigh hotel,
Washington, and wire was sent from
the local post of the American Legion
at the request of the state command
cry officials requesting him to remain
until the funeral obsequies were over.
He replied Monday that he would re-
main to represent the Arizona Amer

HIGHWAY COMMISSIONERS GEO. MYERS REPRESENTED
AL0T BOND MONEY TO STATE AMERICAN LEGION
TWO HIGHWAY PROJECTSAT HARDING OBSEQUIES

At a meeting of the Coconino coun-
ty highway commission in the rooms
of the board of supervisors at the
courthouse, Flagstaff, on Monday, it
was decided to appropriate $4,000 re-
naming from the National Old Trails
bond fund for the Winslow-F Flagstaff
road, this sum being matched by fed
eral aid, allowing $4,000 worth of
road work
Just where the work will be done
is not definitely decided, but it will
be in the worst section, probably be-
tween Canyon Diablo and Canyon
Padre.
It is believed, in view of the fact
that both Governor Hunt and State
Engineer Goodman feel the necessity
of improving that road, that there
will be money from the state to carry
on the work next year.
1t Is said in this connection that
the railroad crossing win be at Sum
shine and new route will be chosen
for good deal of the bad stretch Of
road, shortening the road about eight
miles. 1t is felt that it will be as
cheap to build along a new route, mile
Tor mile, as to attempt to build a
good road on the present route.

all the mernbers-M. |. Powers, chair
man, T.. A. Riordan and Walter Dur

ANSWER FROM SANTA FE

ion in providing a greater supply of
water for Flagstaff has thoroughly
aroused the people. The months of
delay by Santa Fe officials, during

nored, though tentative plan of pro-
cedure has been gone over, is grad
ually wearing out the patient, kindly
feeling of the people.
The following kilograms sent rail-
road officials Wednesday by the Ro-
tary club and the Chamber of Com
merce, indicate the temper of the peo-
pie on the subject:
