COUNTY GETTING READY
TO BUILD ROAD TO THE
KAYENTA OIL SECTION

Mr.. Cramner, field partner in one
of the big concerns drilling for oil up
in the Kayenta country, and George
Mccormick of Flagstaff, who works
there with him, came to town Satur-
day to spend a few days on business
They laid out a route for the road that
is to be built this way from the ex
pected oil country and a force of men
is being sent out by the board of SUI
pervisors of this county to build the
road.
The Midwest, another big concern,
is about to begin drilling and pros
poets are that things will be active
there for some time to come and, If
oil is struck, as there seems to be a
good prospect for, therell be a lot OF
oil excitement and all that goes with
it. The several companies now in the
field are all anxious to make Flagstaff
their supply headquarters, and the
new road will bring that about. This
field, especially if it develops oil in
large quantities, will develop lot of
business for Flagstaff.

FLAGSTAFF RESOURCES AND
SCENERY GIVEN BOOST BY
MIAMI DAILY SILVER BELT

Flagstaff is deeply indebted to
the Miami Daily Silver Belt and to
Bill Strobe, who wrote the article,
for nearly page of interesting mat
ter In the issue of October 30. There
is a preface telling about the re-
sources and industries of this county,
descriptions Of our Cliff Dwellings,
Sunset Mountain, Painted Desert, Me-
teorite Mountain, San Francisco Peaks
and Grand Falls of the Colorado riv-
er, and we'll printed half-tone illus
trations of the Bottomless Pits, Low
ell Observatory, Lake Mary, Lava
Beds and Cliff Dwellings, and OF
range scenes. The general heading
Of the article is "Know Your Own
State" very good advice for all Ari-
zonans, considering how much Of ex-
ceeding interest there is to see in
every portion Of this big state. The
recent article and the illustrations
should resolve many readers of the
Silver Belt to see Flagstaff and its
scenic environs and enjoy with US our
healthful, restful climate.

misrepresenting some part of the
transaction in which he sold some suit

plead guilty to misdemeanor before
Justice of the Peace r. J. Kidd, and
refunded the $40 DIR. Mcclure had

Forest Newton, brought back from
Phoenix on suspicion that he had ta-
ken $50 from his employer at the
Maine garage, was discharged by JUS

had left Maine without saying where
he was going. He explained that he
had been waiting there several months
for someone to erect garage OF
which he was to have charge and fl
nally, tired of waiting without some
evidence that the deal was going

SUPERVISORS TURN DOWN
DAMAGE CLAIM FOR THE
COLORADO RIVER SPILL

County supervisors, meeting in their
regular monthly session at Flagstaff
on Monday, turned down the claim Of
the Minnesota people who were spilled
off the Colorado river ferry boat at
Lees Ferry, last summer, ruling that
the claim, which was for S4,519.66,
was exorbitant.
1t will be remembered that there
were seven or eight persons in the
party, two of whom were men, the
others boys. They were travelling in
two Studebaker cars. The cars and
all the camping outfit went to the bot
tom of the river, as well as all clothes
with the exception of the few they
had on, and those were few, because
they stripped down pretty thoroughly
in their fight to keep from drowning.
The cars were valued at $1,100
each in the claim. Each member of
the party Included his personal claim,
itemizing the articles lost and oppo-
site each the valuation. What caused
the boards objection was the appear
ance that all the articles had evidently
been valued at cost price, no reduc-
ton having been made because of age
or wear; also that in some cases, one
in particular, the amount of stuff
claimed to have been lost seemed all
out Of proportion to what a person
ordinarily would carry. In this case
the amount claimed was nearly $500,
and the board couldn't see why he
was carrying along so many blankets
and SO much other stuff. In some
cases, also, the valuations fixed by
claimants seemed out of reason, for
instance $43 for 81 gallons Of gaso-
line; Sc for two hatchets, SIS for coli
ored glasses and $40 for an overseas
bag
Tt is likely that had the amount of
stuff the men claimed to have carried
been less bulky and the amounts
claimed on some of the items more
in line with local costs, the board
would have allowed the claim.

ROTARY WANTS INDIAN
RUINS SET ASIDE AS
NATIONAL MONUMENT

Water conditions and Armistice day
program were the two main features
discussed at Tuesdays Rotary meet
ing.
Also, the president, M I. Powers,
was given a lesson how the steam
roller works when some one has hold
of the rudder as knows how to steer
it. Mr.. Powers handed in his resig-
nation as president, due to the fact
that he will soon go to California and
hang around there most of the winter.
He asked that the secretary read the
letter, but the latter had "lost" it.
Then I. B. Koch, former president,
announced that he had stolen the let
ter, that there was no sense in Mr..
Powers resigning; in fact even on the
coast he would be a great help to the
local club in sending back pictures and
the latest movie news, and put the
resignation to the club, with the re-
suit that it was unanimously voted
down. MIR Powers will be back in
the spring, to resume his job as pres

Council viii not go ahead with the
plan, however, until further exhaus-
tive tests have been made, probably
by a competent firm of water engin-
eers. The project is too big and the
need for more water too great to
waste either time or money in making
any move toward actual financing and
construction until there is no uncer-
tainty about the feasibility of Schulz
canyon as a reservoir.
Mr.. Sipher showed the Rotarians a
tracing of the canyon, with the loca-
tion of the proposed dam. A dam
built about two miles up the canyon
from the present city reservoir, if
built to height of so feet will i'm
pound 54,000,000 gallons of water and
cost approximately $45,850. A 90-foot
dam would impound 149,000,000 gal
Ions and cost about $117,000
When it is considered that a 50,-
600, ,000-gallon reservoir like our pres
ent one would cost S250,000, while a

" be necessary to convey the water
from the city springs to the two reser-
voirs would cost $148,000 additional,
the tremendous saving if the Schulz
Canyon dam proves feasible is some
thing worth while.
Later, if the water impounded
in the canyon by 90-foot dam be-
comes inadequate, the new pipe line
could be laid from city springs and
would keep the dam filled.
Mr.. SlipEer said the councils tenta-
tive plan at present, providing the
Schulz canyon project proves beyond
doubt to be all right, is to erect a
60-foot dam. This would be of cyclop-
can masonry style, that is, rocks i'm
bedded in mortar, the dam to have a

Roy Stewart, celebrated star of the
Associated First National Exhibitors,
arrived in Flagstaff yesterday morn
ing, accompanied by cameramen and
several assistants, stayed here yester-
day laying in supplies, and will leave
tomorrow, with W. Ell. Conley as head
taxi man, for Lees Ferry to take some
more pictures for Shutdown"
Stewart was with the recent big
roundup and drive of the Grand Can
yon Cattle Co. from beyond the Colo
RADIO river across the desert into Flag
staff. Manager Stephenson of the
cattle company will get here today
from Los Angeles and will go with
Stewart to the north range country,
where he will round up 1900 head of
cattle and this time they will be
swum across the Colorado river, for
film purposes. The last lot were taken
across on the boat at Lees Ferry.
Following the fording of the cat
tie, Stewart will come into Flagstaff
and wait, playing a hunch and his
earnest hope that there will be snow
on the divide just north of here when
the cattle reach the divide, in which
case he wants to film that combina-
ton. He also will retake some stills
at Less Ferry, some of those taken
before not having turned out satisfac-
torily.
Stewart is big, tanned chap, hand
some and modest. He rides like a
centaur and ropes like cowboy to
the manner born.
