Christmas day saw the community

was gayly trimmed with bright rib

boys shoveled away the snow around
the base. Hay was brought; boards

William Krier, an 18-year old Pros
ser youth was acquitted on charge
of forgery by jury in the Superior
court last week.
Young Krier had been injured in a
Begging camp and was drawing month
" accident insurance. Some time ago
he issued an order directing that the
insurance be paid to his father. Be-
fore this order became of record on
the insurance company's books a
check was sent to the boy by regis
tered mail. The father had directed
the postmaster not to deliver the let
ter to the boy except upon the fathers
signed order and delivery was refus-
ed. The boy wrote an order and signed
his fathers name to it and was ar
rested on a forgery charge.
C. L. Holcomb, of this city, who
was appointed by the court to defend
the lad, argued that no crime had been
committed because the check was the
boys and nobody had been defrauded.
This argument was sustained by the
jury's verdict.

PRELIMINARY WORK
ON FOREST HIGHWAY
In ARIZONA APPROVED

Expenditures totaling $4,000 of
national forest highway funds for the
construction of drainage structures in
connection with the improvement of-a
road through the Coconino national
forest Of Arizona have just been ap-
proved by Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace. This money was made avail
able for roads serving the rational
forests and for roads within or adja-
cent to the forests which are Of pri-
mary Importance to the state, counties
and communities.
The proposed work on drainage
Structures is a preliminary step in
the improvement Of the Flagstaff-An-
gel road through the Coconino forest.
The project embraces nearly "a miles
Of highway with flagstaff as its
western terminus.
The road in question is part of one
the main east and west highways
through Arizona and its improvement
will be Of great value not only in the
administrative and protective work
connected with the Coconino Forest,
but to the public as well.

WEATHERFORD HOPES TO
FINISH ROAD THIS SUMMER

John Weatherford has a crew OF
men working on his boulevard to the
TOP of the Peaks and feels confident
of being able to finish it this sum-
mer. This is interesting news for
Flagstaff people, who sincerely hope
the road may soon be completed,
knowing that when it is it will be q
great drawing card for visitors and
will do lot to enhance our popular
'ity.
Many people who have been at the
top Of Pixies Peak and of our own
San Francisco Peaks testify to the
superiority of the view from here.
The boulevard to the top of Pixies
Peak has had much to do with build
ing up Colorado Springs and popular
izing the northern transcontinental
route. With boulevard here to the
top of mountains far more beautiful
than Pixies Peak and affording a
wider, more varied and more beautiful
view, we may naturally expect the
road, when finished, to be an asset to
US.

CAN ALSO BUY TRACTOR
ON $5 A WEEK PLAN

81 have received many inquiries ask
ing if the Ford Weekly Purchase Plan
included only passenger cars" Ed
Babbitt, manager Rabbits Garage,
local Ford agency, said yesterday.
"In reply to these I wish to say
that the Ford Motor company has ar
ranged it so that the plan includes al
so the purchase of Ford trucks and
Fordson tractors.
Many a business man operating q
small establishment has seen the need
of truck for speeding up his hauling
and delivery service and to meet mod
ern requirements, but has refrained
from making the purchase because Of
the outlay necessary to be taken from
his business at the start.
He may now purchase a truck on
the Ford weekly purchase plan by@set-
ting aside each week a small amount
toward the .ruck.
within short time he will have
the truck and with the service it will
render he will be better able to build
up and expand his business, with prof
It's increasing accordingly. 'ss-fg
And the same thing applies to the
farmer who is DESTROYS of motor
transportation for his products to the
city and VINO wishes to put his farm
on better paying basis by the use
of the Fordson tractor.
Under the Ford weekly purchase
plan he can attain both these desires
within a surprisingly short period Of
time and in so doing place his farm
on an efficient operating system which
will not only enable him to produce
his crops more economically, but which
will permit him to deliver them to the
markets more quickly and at less cost.
"rhe Ford weekly purchase plan
takes III all Ford products, cars, trucks
and tractors, and makes the way for
the ownership of any of these neces-
sites easier than ever before.

THIS GROCER HAS REAL
EXPERIENCE IN BEING
PAID IN HIS OWN COIN

While Dave Lay was in a room adj
joining his store in the west end of
Flagstaff the other day he thought he
heard the bell ON his cash register
ring. Going in to the store he found
a small darkey boy there. The boy
wanted to buy some candy.
Several times that day the young
ster came back and bought stuff. He
was an awful good customer. Dave
began to suspect that the money he
was taking in payment might have
come from his till He waited pa
tiently and, sure enough, along toward
evening, on one of his frequent trips
the boy rendered in payment pc

knew had been stolen from the till.

said she hadn't given her son any
money. He denied having had any.
Then his mother hunted in the wood

and a lot of pop and other things he'd
bought. This was too much for the

KENDRICK PARKERS WANT
A NEW HIGHWAY BUILT

At the meeting of the county SUI
pervisors on Monday, nearly all the
ranchers in the Kendriek Park section
were on hand to present their needs
for new road into that section, or,
at any rate, improvements on one of
the present roads.
Since the abandonment Of the rail-
road up that way from the Saginaw
& Manistee lumber mill, the farmers
there more than ever need q good
road. They had sent a good deal of
their produce in on the railroad, but
that means Of transportation is now a
thing Of the past.
The claims Of partisans for two
routes into Kendrick Park are to be
considered. One route is through
Bellemont, the other by way of Cra-
ter Lake and Fort Valley. The super
visors have not decided which route
will be adopted. # the former is
chosen, it is believed the roadbed Of
the railroad can be used, as it is un-
derstood the rails are soon to be re-
moved.

G. B. Wilson, the Flagstaff attor-

attend to some cases in which he is in

visitor from on top of the mountain,
and we would suggest that he open
offices in Holbrook and become a per-

comes originally from the Rotary club
of Holbrook, which begins to feel that
it has right to tie onto him as a

regular visitor at it's meetings. -
