SCHNEBLY AND THE OAK
CREEK HILLS AND OTHER
POINTS BEING IMPROVED

Road work is being pushed in sew
eral localities by the county board of
supervisors. There are five crews
working under the direction of Coun-
ty Engineer j. B. Wright.
Bill Griffin has ten men and full
equipment, including caterpillar, az
work on Schnebly hill. The road down
the hill is being heightened to lessen
grade and it is said that when the
work is finished in the spring the
grade will in no place exceed ten per
cent. This will make a good road
all the way to Sedona and Yavapal
county. The road is through beauti-
fully scenic country, much of it in the
Schnebly hill section being preferred
by many to Grand Canyon. The road
from Flagstaff to Schnebly hill IS
good except the portion between John
Loy's ranch and the top of the hill,
and that will be rebuilt in the spring,
according to present plans.
Jesse Purtyman has a half-dozen
men and a caterpillar at work on the
Oak Creek road, repairing damage
done by flood and putting the road
down the hill back into general good
condition.
Harry Wade with few white men
and Indians, is working on the reser-
walton road between Tuba City and
Red Lake, to open up to easier traffic
into the new oil country out there.
Dennis O'Brien has about twenty
men at work on the Maine-Grand
Canyon road. This crew Is now in the
vicinity of Rain Tanks, and is grad
ing and putting in numerous culverts..

work this side of Cameron bridge. He

YOU'LL SOON BE ASKED
FOR THE FIRST PAYMENT
ON YOUR PAVING BONDS

Within a very few days now many
Flagstaff property owners will receive
bills calling for the first payment on
the paving bonds, those who will get
the bills, of course, being those own
ing property adjacent to the streets
paved in the north and northeast parts
of town his last summer and the sum-
mer preceding.
This is said to be the largest single
paving program carried cat in this
state for some time. There are 405
city lots affected and the total amount
Of the paving was $91 ,633.58. How
ever, several property owners have
paid in full, so that the bonds amount
ed to only ST. ,93058. Warren Bros,
who did the paving, bought the bonds.
The bills will be sent out by City
Clerk Clarence T. Pulliam and the
money turned over to Warren Bros.
The bills will call for the payment Of
one-tenth of the amount assessed for
paving against each property owner
and interest at per cent for three
months and 20 days, or from Septem-
Der 10, the date of the bonds.
The next following payment will be
due July 1, 1924.
Under the law, unless those receiv-
ing the bills pay before certain ex-
piration date, which will likely be fix
ed at December rs, the city has a
right to attach the property in ques-
ton and sell it at public auction.

HIS WATCH SAVED LIFE OF
WINSLOW DRUGGIST WHEN
THE ANGRY BANDIT SHOT

His watch saved the life of "Frisky''
Gilliard, Winslow druggist, Sunday
night when hold-up man to whom he
offered defiance shot at him from a
distance of three feet.
The bandit ordered Gilliard to
throw up his hands. The latter re-
fused. The bandit fired. Gilliard
felt the impact of the bullet on his
abdomen, and dazedly stepped to one
side, expecting to fall. When he didn't
fall he was astonished. He took a
couple of more side-wise steps to see
whether he was dreaming. He felt
sure he must be mortally wounded
and knew the conventional thing to do
was to fall down. Still he didn't fall.
Then the bandit fired again, this time
missing his human target. Where
upon Gilliard found his voice and let
a stertorous yell out of him. And
the bandit turned and legged it away
East.
Arrived home, Gilliard found one
side of his abdomen had a black and
blue spot. The bullet had hit square
against the face of his watch, which
had no crystal, and had gone clear
through the watch, the force being
diminished so that that it did not go
through the cloth out of his pocket.

The wind got up to 50-mile an hour
velocity at different times Sunday
night. It never was below 40 miles.

some little zephyr. During all OF
Monday forenoon it played at 40 miles
an hour or worse, Yf1oderating In the
afternoon to 80 miles. It wasn't SO
very pleasant, but probably was the
means of keeping the snow that fell
most of the forenoon from coming
fast and likely saved US heavy blan-
keting.
There was no great damage done
anywhere in town by the wind, though
it did tip the Flagstaff Lumber Co.'s
new 12-stall auto garage over on It's
back. Out at Mrs. Greenlaw's sum-
mer cottages it damaged a cottage
roof and flattened out big pine
tree. Many telephone poles on all
tha surrounding lines were blown

SHEEP MANAT
NEEDMORE IS
DEAD; MAYBE
WAS FROZEN

Adolfo Garcia, Campbell, Francis
& Co. sheep rustler, is dead at the
company's Needmore sheep ranch, AZ
miles north of Flagstaff, just east Of
the old Grand Canyon road. It is not
known what caused his death, but it
is rumored here that he was frozen.
Word that he was dead was relayed
to Bob Tillman, on the w. j. Osborne
ranch at Dead Mans Flat, who got it
through to Claude Knight, this side
of the divide, by whom it was phoned
to the sheriff's office Wednesday eve
ing.

18 inches Of snow at Dead Mans Flat.
After trying nearly all night they
returned to town, starting out again
yesterday forenoon, this time to try TO
get out on the Tuba City road, then
cut across to Needmore over the Spi-
derived trail They didn't expect to
more than reach the ranch today
Garcia has brother, Cleofas Gar
cia, in Flagstaff and himself had lived
here several years. Campbell, Fran
els & Co. keep six or seven men at
Needmore all winter, taking care Of
two or three bands of sheep that win

HEAVY SHOWS TO EAST
AND NORTH MISS Us

Flagstaff enjoyed the novel exper-
ience Of having only about three
inches of snow the first three days Of
this week, while Winslow had more
than two feet, Prescott six inches,
Dead Mans Flat about 18 inches.
Fourteen miles east of Flagstaff,
south of Doney Park, the county quad
was unable to get through on Tues
day.
The road beyond Holbrook was NOT
closed by snow. The best illustration
of the condition of the road this side
of Winslow is in the experience OF W..
w. Caldwell, Union Oil Co. agent at
Holbrook. He left here in his car
Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. He
was forced to lie out all night between
Winona and Canyon Padre bridge,
without bedding or extra covering.
Next night he got to Canyon Diablo
bridge, and the next afternoon at four
got to Winslow, being 90 hours going
70 miles.
A number Of tourist cars got
through from the east to Flagstaff
late Wednesday afternoon.
Dudley Dunn, coming In with has
mail truck from Tuba City, ran into a
four-foot drift this side of the divide.
He backed up and got off the road
tipping over. Johnny Kerley was
right behind in his car. Johnny got
through and brought Dunn to town.
He went out next day and brought in
his mail truck with Claude Knights
help in getting it through the worst
places, and he and Mr. Kerley left
here again for Tuba on Wednesday
morning.

FOREST GRAZING PERMITS
WILL BE FOR TEN YEARS
BEGINNING WITH 1925

A revised system of regulations
governing grazing In the Coconno
national forest, including an extension
of the present five-year permits to 10
years has been authorized by the for
estry authorities, according to advlces
received this week by Forest Super
visor E. G. Miller of Flagstaff. But
the granting of 10-year permits does
not begin next year, but with the
year following, Mr.. Miller advises The
Sun.
There will be no change in grazing
fees for 1924. The two-payment plan
will be followed, same as last year,
haif of the fees being due on or be-
fore the opening of next spring
grazing season, or before the stock
enters the forest, the second half on
or before December 1, 1924. When the
total amount due is SO or less, full
payment is required before the OPEN
ing of the season.
The present five-year permits ex-
pire March 1, 1924. In view of the
forester's desire to postpone the adj
iustment of grazing fees until the
beginning of the season of 1925, the
issuance of term permits will be sus-
pended for one year to make the next
permit period coincide with the adj
iusted fees. Permits issued for the
season of 1924 will be for one year
only. The forester has definitely de-
cided to issue permits at the begin
ming Of the 1926 season for 10-yeai
periods. -
Applications for permits for 1921
are due at the local forestry office
on or before January 20, 1924.
It is possible there will be 10 pei
cent reduction in stock on the range
