peaches HOOK MOVES
TO WILLIAMS TO TAKE
FORD AGENCY THERE

Remigius ("Peachesn) Hook is a
back slider. That popular young man
some time ago decided to adopt Will
Hams as his place of business and
residence, but didn't want anything
said about it until now. And now
we're letting the cat out of the bag.
Peaches has taken over the Ford
agency for the town of Williams.
That is his reason and excuse for leav-
ing Flagstaff. He moved down there
the first of the week.
He is having big new concrete
and brick garage and salesroOm built,
75x125 feet in size. The columns are
already up and the building will be
ready for occupancy early this winter.
1t is located near the White Garage.
Bob Mitchell has succeeded Peaches
in the foremanship of the garage E.
D. Babbitt runs here in connection
with his Ford agency. So both these
energetic, worthy young men are step
ping up. Considering this, there may
be some extenuation extended Peaches
for his abandonment of the hamlet in
which he spent most of the youth ne
has spent.

OVER HUNDRED THOUSAND
VISIT GRAND CANYON PARK

Col. w. w. Crosby, superintendent
of the Grand Canyon national park,
gives us the following interesting data
on tourist travel to that famous re-
sort:
The travel records of this park for
the year ending at midnight, Septem-
Der 80, show the total number Of
visitors to be over 100000, as against
81, 900 for the year before and this,
notwithstanding the frequent impas-
sable condition of the roads between
the National Old Trails highway
through Flagstaff and Williams up to
the park. Had single one of these
roads been continuously in decent con-
dition during the travel season, there
is no doubt but that the travel to
this park would have been at least so
per cent greater than it was this past
year.
This would have, of course, meant
more money spent in Coconino coun-
ty; more praises for Coconino county,
and more benefit to a larger number
of American citizens. Excuse me-, if
seem to drift off into mere oratory.
The exact figures for the year end
ing September 30, 1922, were 84,700;
the figures for the year ending Sep
tenber 80, 1923, were 1O2,166. The
figures for the months ending Sep
tember 30, 1922, and September 30,
1923, were as follows:

PATRIOTIC PAINTER
WOULD POPULARIzE
PATRIOTIC FLAGSTAFF

Like many another visitor to Flag
staff Ferdinand Burgdorff, the artist,
suggested that Flagstaff is rapidly
attaining fame as Flagstaff. There
should be big Flagstaff with twen-
ty-four foot flag on it, where all
tourists and visitors should see it. .
sWhen / first came to Flagstaff
some twelve years ago, about the first
thing | thought / would see was a
flagstaff floating the flag-it was
rather a subconscious thought on my
part, but every time / have met and
talked with tourists about the first
question they ask is Where's the
flagstaff?' Some probably in a fe-
fictitious vein, but nevertheless, it
strikes me as a we'll worthwhile idea
to put up big, high flagstaff in
a prominent place, floating a 24-foot
flag. Flagstaff is noted as a pa
triotic city and was named by old-titAe
patriots, so why not take advantage
of the big opportunity offered and
put up q big flagstaff where tourists
on trains and automobiles can see it
from afar? 1t will attract their
attention from the sign on your
QepOt anu COilflilCc tilC ktdfCi1Ht5 3
public you have a live bunch living
here.
"Just as a guarantee of good faith
I'll paint and present the Rotary club
with my idea Of how it should look,
surrounded with base of native
rock" declared the enthusiastic art
ist.
Just where the flagstaff could best
be located to catch the eye of all
comers is a question, but it can be
settled.
The old story of the naming of the
town and the name itself arouses the
curiosity Of every visitor. Why not
satisfy their curiosity and point with
pride to the flag? Forest Supervisor
Ed Miller, who supervises all the big
pine flagstaffs for miles around was
delegated as committee of one along
with |. B. Koch as a committee of two
to see that this idea is worked out and
Artist Burgdorff's painting of the
original flagstaff adorns the walls Of
the Rotary club, just as another good
public-spirited job one.
Just for concreting this idea Artist
Burgdorff will be allowed to paint
any old thing he wants to around in
this section.

EXCESS OF
LAW COST HIM
$50 PER EACH

1t cost j.. M. Cook $50 apiece for
the two wild turkeys he killed in adj
dition- TO the two allowed by law. The
two additional birds were confiscated.
Cook and w. r. Banks and w. G.
Geoglein, three prepossessing young
men from Humboldt, Yavapai county,
had been hunting in Oak creek can
yon. Paul Keller, deputy game war
den, was coming up out of the cam
yon orf Tuesday and stopped to cool
his radiator. He saw q man lying
beside the road. Got to talking with
him. Found the man was satisfied
with the luck he'd had. Opened up
a big tarp and showed him eight tur-
keys. The man was Cook. His COM
panions soon came up and Paul
brought them all to Flagstaff.
Next morning Cook told Justice OF
the Peace r. j. Kidd that he had
killed four of the eight birds. Said
he shct seven times into flock OF
75 turkeys until he was sure he'd
killed two. Then he stopped shoot
ing and when he went to pick up the
two he'd killed he found four dead
birds. Judge Kidd fined him $lOO,
which he paid.

PROTEST AGAINST DEER
SLAUGHTER ON KAIBAB

The proposition made in some quar-
tiers to kill off a number of deer on
the Kaibab forest ON the north side
of Frang Canyoa has met with siren
uous objections from Colonel w. W.
Crosby, superintendent Of the Grand
Canyon National park, who is backed
by the park service in the stand he
has taken against the slaughter and
particularly on territory adjoining the
Grand Canyon park.
Colonel Crosby says: wild life, and
especially deer, is a great attraction
to park visitors and we are by no
means convinced that any relaxation
of the present provisions for the pro-
lection of deer is now necessary in
the Kaibab Forest adjacent to the
north section Of Grand Canyon nat
ional park and will oppose to the
limit with all its power the killing
of any deer with the park ITSELF"
The following resolution was adopt
ed by the Western Association OF
State Fish and Game commissioners
at their Montana meeting, September
10 and II, 1928:
Whereas, we understand there has
been some decision made regarding
the killing of some of the deer in the
Kaibab forest and
Whereas, we are informed that
there is ample food for all the deer
now there and also room for the over
flow from this great deer preserve to
spread to portions of Utah and Ari-
zona and outside Of the preserve,
Therefore, be it resolved that we
are in favor of more thorough in
vestigation on the ground of this mat
ter, covering at least another year
before any deer are killed on the pre-
serve, and we ask that the game de-
partments of the surrounding states
Be called into conference before such
killing is permitted"

Film news is becoming plentiful in
Flagstaff. The producers are at last
awakening to the wonderful possibil-

Recently The Sun told of the plans
made by Famous Players-Lasky for
producing Zane Grey's Vanishing
American in the Kayenta region,
northeast of here, at an estimated
cost of million dollars-to be shown
in colors and to surpass even the cell
ebrated Covered Wagon.
Last week the same corporation
finished up Zane Grey's Call of the
Canyon, filmed here and at Oak Creek.
Mr.. Lasky, who with Mr.. Grey is

ALTHO RIVER
FLOOD HIT u.
S. PARTY AT
NIGHT, SAFE

There was general sigh of relief
when a wire was received at Flag
staff Tuesday evening announcing
afternoon of the u. S. government ex-
perts surveying the Colorado river
through Grand and Marble Canyons.
For more than two weeks the at
teiition of the entire nation had been
directed toward the expedition and
speculation as to their fate was rife.
Many feared that the flood, which
was unprecedented at this time Of
the year and during which the Col
orado river rose 29 feet in two days,
its volume multiplying by more than
IL times. in that time, had caught the
IL men in box canyon where they
had no chance for their lives.
It was felt that the party would
have even less chance to escape if the
rise in the river hit them at night.
And that is just what happened.
The escape of the party from untime-
ly death was due to two things: Their
own all-night work in getting them
selves and their boats down the river
to safer place, and the knowledge
pOiSSCSoCd ny LAlAOAy AVAD VI GA@iAA
Canyon, head boatman, who remem-
bered this safer place from his and
Ellsworth Kolb's trip down the same
stretch in 1911.
The news Of the safety of the party
came to Mrs. Roger Birdseye at Flag
staff on Tuesday evening in a wire
from her husband filed at 4:50 o'clock
that afternoon from Peach Springs,
Santa Fe railroad station 26 miles
south of the Diamond Greek trail to
the Colorado. Roger, who is land
colnmissary for the party and cou-
sin of Colonel c. H. Birdseye, chief
U. S. topographic engineer and chief
of the river expedition, had been at
Diamond Greek for several days with
supplies for the men.

night nearly three weeks ago when
the flood hit the place where the par
ty was encamped, is simply told in

SANTA FE RAILROAD COMES ALIVE ON WATER
HEAVEN HELP FLAGSTAFF
IF OUR DEPOT Is THE
FRONT DOOR TO TOWN

Phoenix has new depot and in a
page account of dedication of the
crowning event it is said that over
0,OOO people went through it Mon
day when it was opened. Just to
show how Flagstaff is sized up by
people who get their first glimpse OF
our "snuff box" affair, we reprint IN
part an editorial in the Arizona Re-
publican, under the caption of sour
Front Door,
If a city has town hall or a court
house or some other public or semi
public building of which it is not
proud, visitors, in being shown the
city, are dextrously escorted SO that
they do not view these eyesores. But
in case of railroad station it is i'm
possible to shield it from anyone who
arrives by train. For years Phoen~
icians have returned from visits to
other cities and have humiliatingly
compared the local railroad passenger
stations with the large and handsome
ones of which other towns boast. They
have been a dampener to the pride of
the capital of Arizona.
But that is all changed now. Last
night several thousand people of
Phoenix and the Valley celebrated the
opening of the new union station in an
enthusiastic jollification, impressive of
the heartiness of a realization long
awaited and equally long needed and
desired. 1t is a permanent improve
ment that will give this city hg
boost on its sure and steady way to
growth and prosperity.
The union station is the city's front
door. AS a visitor alights from a
train it is the first impression of the
city he receives, and it must be adj
mitted that a glance at either of the
old stations presented an unfavorable
impression that had to be overcome
later in ride over the city streets.
We are glad this handicap is remov-
ed. The new union station is worthy
of the city as the city is worthy of
the station.
Phoenix is proud of her new front
door which is open today to the world.
Visitors who enter through it will find
it symbolic Of this the capital and
first city Of Arizona.
