HONEYMOONERS GETTING
BIG DOSE OF UNEXPECTED
LIFE ON ARIZONA DESERT

A younger brother of Bill Katus
of the 7. E. Pollock Investment Co. OF
Flagstaff, and his bride (not Bills
but the younger brother's) is having
a novel and not so very pleasant hon.
eymoon experience.
The young man was married a cou-
pie of weeks ago back at the old home
in North Dakota and with his bride
started for Flagstaff in their Cad
lilac car, intending to make this their
home. They visited Yellowstone Nat
ional Park and from there were di-
rected to come to Flagstaff by way
of Lees Ferry.
Ten miles the other side of the fer
ry the car broke a gear. Katus walk
ed to the ferry and sent word by Joe
Waldhaus of this city, who chanced
to be there, to his brother. The lat
ter wired back to the home-folks in
North Dakota to send along the spare
gear lying in the family garage.
Meanwhile the newly-weds are liv-
ing with the cowboys of the Grano
Canyon Cattle Co., waiting for some
one to show up with the gear. And
Bill is worrying his head off wonder
ing which is the quickest and easiest
way to get the gear to them when it
does make its appearance here. He
opines that his brother and new SIS
ter-in-law may find their desert life
irksome before they can be rescued.

MAY PUT BLOCK SYSTEM
In EFFECT ON NARROW
ROAD AT OAK CREEK

Complaints of congested traffic or
the narrow, high stretch of bluff roac
between the Lodge and the falls In
Oak Greek Canyon will probably re-
suit in the posting of signs at either
end of the stretch, putting into oper-
alton a block system in which north
bound automobiles can enter the block
only at certain times and the same
with south-bound vehicles.
Charlie Voolfolk in passing along
this stretch the other day had to pass
car after car, in one instance having
to back two hundred yards before he
could turn out enough to let the other
car pass. Others are complaining of
the condition
Assistant County Attorney George
r. Lewis advises that the board of
supervisors have a right to regulate
the traffic on the road and to impose
heavy penalties for traffic violations.
No doubt the block system will be
put into effect in a very short time as
the present condition is likely to lead
to serious accident if allowed to con-
tinue.
The volume of traffic into Oak

trout fishing. The stream is so IN
tensely fished that expert fishermen
feel when they hook trout they have
accomplished something out of the or
dinary, and sometimes It takes day
to perform the feat, at that.
There seems to be a growing inn
preston that when Coconino county
opens up a boulevard to let the south
part of the state into Oak Creek can
yon it means no less than the over
running of the canyon and deprecia-
tion of its value to the people of this
county. Very few of the people who
come in from the south come to Flag
staff or Williams. These towns get
little financial benefit from these va
cationists. Of course, if the road were
opened up to become a real thorough
fare for quick and convenient travel
between the north and south parts of
the state our towns would benefit in
a business way. That is, they might.
Though the Ashfork route, scarcely
only a little longer, or the Schnebly
Hill route, far more scenic and beau
tiful, are alternative routes that seem
to initiate against the project Of ever
building the Oak Creek canyon road
into north and south thoroughfare.
Complaints are also made that much
of the best fishing ground at Oak
Creek is posted as private property
and fishermen are forbidden en-
trance. 1t is the general belief, how
ever, that no person has right to
post the fishing grounds in this way,
because all streams containing fish are
supposed to be open to those who wish
to fish there in season and, moreover,
the fish were put there by the
u. S. government, the state and pub
lic-spirited Flagstaff citizens.

MAKE ME A BOY AGAIN
FOR MORE THAN TONIGHT
WAY OUR ROTARIANS FELT.

RotaIians and Rotaryanns became
little boys and girls again, as far as
they were able, last Tuesday evening
under the pines on the west side of
Lake Mary, where the Boy Scouts are
encamped. Most of the grown-ups,
when they saw the. fun the boys are
having, would have liked in reality to
become young again and if that boon
could have been granted, there would
have been couple of troops each Of
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts organized
on the spot and requisition sent into
town for supplies to keep the whole
bunch there as long as they might be
permitted to stay
Former President I. B. Koch had
arranged tables and benches for ev-
erybody, and the big baskets of food
the ladies brought were soon served,
cafeteria style, and mastication began,
to be interrupted for the next half
hour only by |. BIS frequent calls
for more coffee. |. B. was not si-
fenced again until j. G. Brown, in
honor of a birthday he has just had
or expects some time to have, un-
corked a big can of ice cream and
made everyone busy again until Vice
President Fred Breen raped for si
lence with an empty olive bottle.
Joe P. Wilson, chairman of the
meeting, was introduced (just as
though he needed any introduction, so
formal we are), and shifted the load
right off onto Tom L. Rees, treasurer
of the Boy Scout council, who ratified
off a lot of figures as per:
Total collected for past years Boy

MAYOR PULLIAM SUBMITS
TO OPERATION FOR BAD
ATTACK OF APPENDICITIS

Mayor Tom E. Pulliam was operat-
ed on at Mercy hospital, Flagstaff, on
Tuesday morning by DR.. E. Payne
Palmer of Phoenix, who was summon
cd here by wire. The patient rallied
from the ordeal in good shape and is
making a fine recovery.
1t was only this spring that Mrs.
Pulliam underwent similar operation
at the hospital.
Mr.. Pulliam had not been feeling
well for some time. But he had been
at his real estate and abstract office
in the C. B. Wilson office every day
and was there on Monday as usual.
During the day he became very much
worse and the trouble being diagnosed
as appendicitis, wire was sent to Dr..
Palmer, who arrived Tuesday morning.
The appendix was found to be badly
inflaIned, and slightly gangrened,
showing that the operation could not
safely have been postponed another
day.

WAKE UP, FLAGSTAFF; OPEN
THE DOOR; OPPORTUNITY
KNOCKS; OTHERS AWAKE

To investigate road conditions be-
tween Flagstaff and Kayenta to the
new oil field 10 miles from there, a
party of Flagstaff people left here
early Tuesday morning and were ex-
pected back last evening.
The purpose is to consider the need
for repairs to the road, estimate the
probable cost of putting the bad
places into fairly passable shape and
consider ways and means of raising
the money.
Mr.. Cramner, one of the Denver
capitalists drilling for oil on the res
ervation, and who has several times
pointed out the advantages sure to ac-
crue to Flagstaff if two or three thou
sand dollars were spent on the road,
gave the Flagstaff people a lot of
useful information. In the party were:
T. A. Riordan, president of the Flag
staff chamber of commerce; his
daughter, Miss Anne; his niece, Miss
Claire; Herbert Babbitt, r. E. Tay-
lor of the county board Of supervisors,
Undersheriff S. O. Thompson, John
Hennessy and Lou Charlebois.
AS pointed out in The Sun last week
and previously, making this road pas
sable is of vital Importance to Flag
staff. 1t is of sufficient Importance
to Gallup, not nearly so accessible as
Flagstaff is to the new oil field, to
warrant the New Mexico town in Of
fering to spend $4,000 to repair the
road from Gallup to the oil field. 1t
will not take fifth that amount, it is
estimated, to fix the road between
the field and Flagstaff.

boys had cut off the engine as part Of
a hold-up plan and that they had then
lost their nerve. But it seemed evident
upon examination that if they had
uncoupled the engine it had been done
accidentally. Railroad men say that
presumption is not unreasonable.
One reason it was not believed that
the boys purposely uncoupled the en-
been closed. They likely would have
closed it had they done the job pur-
posely.
The boys are: Herschell Hollings-
worth, Is, of Sterling, Kans.; John
Cascio, 16, of Pueblo, Colo, and
Mitchell Laufer, is, of Dallas, Texas.
They were badly frightened and
cried when they appeared before the
judge. Laufer had left home because
he felt his going would make rela-
tions between his father and mother
more harmonious. Letters he had
from his father bore out his story to
the last detail. One of the boys had
left because he couldn't get along with
his father, and the other because his
parents were needy and he couldn't
find work at home. Cascio ran up
against the two other boys at Trini-
dad and they joined company to beat
their way to the coast. They were
practically penniless.
Judge Jones decided the best thing
to do under the circumstances was to
find work for there here and keep
them under parole for a month or so
and then, when they have earned
enough to pay their fare, let them
go on to California

NEAR WRECK WHEN ENGINE
LEFT NO. 7; BANDITS FIRST
THOUGHT; THREE ARRESTED

A rear-end collision of passenger
trains that probably would have been
flightful in its consequences was mar
rowly averted last Saturday night just
this side of Williams when the en-
gine of fast mail and passenger train
No. Z, west bound, became disconnect-
ed from its train and pulled into Will
liams without it.
Passenger train No. 9 was due at
Williams only short time behind
No. Z. As soon as Engineer Leonard
discovered that he had lost his train
he ran his engine back and hooked on
again.
How the engine became disconnect-
ed is mystery. Three boys who were
stealing a ride on No. were located
a couple of hours later in a freight
car in the Williams railroad yards by
Police Marshal Charlie Murray of Will
liams, who placed them under arrest.
They admitted that they had been rid
ing No. T. They were brought to. the
county Jail in Flagstaff on Sunday
after Mr.. Murray had subjected each
to a separate questioning. On Mon
day they were taken singly before Su-
pelior Court Judge ]. E. Jones, who
cross-examined them at length.
Both the judge and Mr. Murray
were satisfied the boys were not gull
ty Of any malicious intent. They
agreed in their story, that they were
doing on the front platform of the
front car. One of them awoke and
cried out that the engine was leaving
them.

= Mr.. Clarkson said the big daily

+ ton. The Williams Grand Can
