RE- SELECTED COLORADO
PACKED COMMITTEE TO
HAVE ANOTHER SESSION

The re-selected committee of nine on
the Colorado river pact, have been
meeting at Tucson for few days.
The meetings are held in secret so
no information has been given out Of
ficially as to what they propose to
do with the Colorado river.
1t is understood that there are nine
different and divergent opinions
among the nine re-selected special
committee appointed by Gov. Hunt. II
was definitely settled, however, that
another meeting Of the committee will
be held August 18th at Tucson to fur
ther discuss the problem previously
solved by the people of the state.
1t has been suggested that Governor
Hunt further refine this committee by
two of the nine to agree on some
political way out of the difficulty.
Aside from this the committee is
getting along fine and the people OF
the state will be pleased to learn it
has at least agreed on date for an
other meeting.

BELOVED YOUNG WOMAN
SOON TO BE MARRIED,
is CLAIMED BY DEATH

Margaret Louise Stahl, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas A. Stahl, sister
of Mrs. Decker Williams and fiancee
of Frank Fl. Whitehouse, passed away
at the family home, 419 w. Birch St.,
on her 18th birthday, Saturday, June
80, 1928 Christian Science services
were held at 2:30 p. m. Monday, July
End, at the Flagstaff Undertaking
Parlors. These services, owing to the
nature of the illness, diphtheria, were
private. Burial was in the Knights
of Pythias cemetery.
Margaret was one of the recent
graduates from the high school de-
partment of the normal and the SYM
pathy of the faculty, fellow students
and Of the entire community goes out
to the bereaved ones in this, their
great loss. To know Margaret was to
love her, and the esteem in which
she was held was evidenced by the nu-
merous beautiful floral offerings from
clubs, lodges, business firms and
personal friends. Her fine character,
lovable disposition and CHEEKY smile
endeared her to all with whom she
came in contact, and her sudden death
comes as a sad shock.
Miss Stahl for several weeks had
been stenographer for Attorney Frank
M. Gold.

FRED PAUL HOME WAS
DESTROYED BY FLAMES

Fire in a very few minutes about
two o'clock Monday afternoon totally
destroyed the house on Milton road
in which Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Paul were
living.
No one seems to know how the fire
started. Mr.. Paul was at his work
with the Flagstaff Lumber Co. Mrs.
Paul was at the home of her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Caring, nearby.
There was no fire in the stove, none
having been used to prepare luncheon
that day
The fire started in the front of the
house and it seemed only few sec
onds before the place was literally
wrapped in flames. The city fire de-
partment responded in a hurry to the
call. but could not save the building,
though they did good work in pre-
venting a spread Of the flames to near
by houses.
The building belongs to Mrs.
Whitley and was the center one OF
the three she owns, all on the east
side of Milton road One of the
houses is occupied by Professor and
Mrs. t. H. Schultz and the other un-
til recently had been occupied by M.
and Mrs. D. X. Ward.

EFFORT BEING MADE TO PUT
THE MAINE-GRAND CANYON
ROAD ON PER CENT SYSTEM

A number of representative business
men were called to meet yesterday
with the board of supervisors and
State Engineer Frank Goodman to
ascertain whether or not the Maine
Grand Canyon highway could not be
placed on the per cent system. It
appears that Coconino county only
listed some 1900 miles of its approx
lately $500 miles of public roads, con-
sequently but 105 miles of our roads
were designated as Z per cent roads
entitled to federal aid.
1t is understood on good authority
that Chief of the U. S. Bureau Of
Public Roads Mcdonald would favor
this movement. This would not affect
the proposed trade of the Bright
Angel trail to the government, but
might result in an advantage and in
the meantime protect and keep this
highway in repair.
The board Of supervisors have ar
ranged to start repair work on the
road next week, though they claim
the road in general, aside from few
miles, is in very good condition for
travel, since tourists are able to ne
gotiate the 85 miles in three hours.
Engineer Goodman was not able to
be present at the meeting because OF
a breakdown of his car at Prescott.

SAYS ORDER PROHIBITING
DANCES Misunderstood

Rev. Moffitt, now of New York and
in charge of missionary work for the
Presbyterian church, a great devotee
of Flagstaff and surrounding country
was in Flagstaff couple days the
first of the week on his way to the
coast.
Rev. Moffitt is we'll known among
the older residents of the city and al
ways comes back to his "old home
Flagstaff, with good word and a
CHEEKY belief that some time, some
day, Flagstaff will come into it's w1l
big hotel, people, growth and all
However, Rev. Moffitt does suggest
that he believes The Sun editor and
many other people have misunderstood
Indian Commissioner Burke's letter
relative to restrictions on the famous
Indian dances; that only dances of a
vicious, immoral nature were to be
prescribed.

ROTARIANS HEAR FROM
PRESIDENT POWERS OF
INTERNATIONAL MEET

Patriotism was to have predominant
ed in the Rotary program at Tues
days weekly meeting, but the earnest
desire of all to hear the full, COM
plete message of Mulford Winsor on
the Colorado river pact-itself a ques-
ton of practical and vital patriotic
Importance to the seven states in the
Colorado river basin and in lesser de-
gree to the nation at large, led
Ray H. Simpson, chairman for the
day, to pass up other good things he
had provided for instruction and en-
tertainment.
The room was beautifully decorated
in the national colors. There were
miniature flags on the water glasses
and in the dessert. The music was
patriotic. The chairman briefly men,
toned that next day the anniversary
of our declaration of independence,
should be one on which we all resolve
to be more devotedly patriotic.
President NJ. /. Powers, who opened
the meeting, complimented Ray on the
decorations. Mr. Powers related in
brief some of the more important
features of the International Rotary
convention at st. Louis which he had
Just attended and the surprise visit
to the convention of Rotarian Hard
ing, president of the United States,
and his address, in which he said that
if he could put Rotary into every
community he would do so and then
could guarantee the tranquility and
forward march of the whole world.
Nineteen countries were represent
ed at the convention. Of the various
Rotary clubs in the world, 1857, or 81
per cent, were represented at the con-
vention by delegates.
The first number by the normal
summer quartette, composed of Pres
ident L. B. McMullen, Professor Tom
Bellwood and the Misses Duncan AID
Calhoun, with Miss Mildred Whetsel
at the piano, first sang America, the
Beautiful, then were compelled to
hush the applause by singing Battle
Hymn of the Republic.
The speakers table was decorated
with big bouquet of American beau
ty roses, the gift of Mrs. A. Pouthie,
proprietor of the Flower Shop.
Visiting Rotarians: DR.. Vim. Nor
ton and President John Thompson OF
the Needles club, Bill Rittenhouse OF
the Williams club.
Other guests: Rev. J. W. Saunders
F. w. Perkins, w. S. Johnson of Pres
colt, Professor Talcott of Butler col
lege, Indiana; the Misses Whetsel
Duncan and Calhoun, Mr.. Bellwood.
The ladies of the Flagstaff Wo-
mans club who served the delicious
luncheon were Mrs. VIM. Campbell
chairman; Mrs. Frank Harrison, Mrs
Frank C. Curtis, Mrs. Frank NJ. Gold
Mrs. Cecil DeVaney, Mrs Grover c.
Hutson. Mrs. Hubert Hill.

WITH PUBLIC CEREMONIAL
ELKS LAY CORNERSTONE
OF THEIR NEW LODGE HALL

Oratory and music attended the lay
ing of the cornerstone of the new
Elks hall on Sunday afternoon. 1t
was a sort Of double event, featuring,
as it did, the first public appearance
Of the Flagstaff band
Many Flagstaff people didn't know
band was being organized and when
it mustered % pieces in its appear
ance and, in spite Of some nervous
ness, played creditably, there was
considerable elation.
But, this isn't band story; it is
an account of the laying of the cor
nerstone.
A hundred or so members Of the
lodge gathered at the present lodge
room at o'clock. They marched to
the ,Elks home Here the foundation
for The big hall annex had been COM
pleted. There was crowd of spec
tators gathered for the ceremony.
The ritualistic program as laid down
by the grand lodge was followed. The
only local officer absent was George
Myers, now on his way to the national
Elks convention at Atlanta, and Rev.
r. B. Cocks, superintendent of St.
Luke's home, Phoenix, was acting
chaplain.
Grand Dunlap of Bisbee, district
deputy, presided. He introduced Hugh
B. Cassidy of Phoenix, president of
the state Elks association, who in
turn introduced the speaker of the
day, State Senator Mulford Winsor Of
Yuma, who in the course of an in
spring though brief talk, told of the
aims and principles of Elkdom, what
an ElIs lodge means to a community
and especially what this lodge and
home should mean to Flagstaff.
Miss Post of state university, ac-
companied by Mrs. Alex Johnston on
the piano, sang solo.
Following the ceremony, all We're in
vited into the Elks home, where light
refreshments were served.
Placed in the cornerstone were:
Copy last Elks Magazine, copy local
Elks publication, sThe Four Ninety
Nine,' two copies The Coconino Sun,
last weeks and an earlier issue in
which appeared a picture of the Elks
home; last years memorial program,
roster officers and members of the
lodge, bylaws of the lodge and con-
stitution and statutes of grand lodge,
list county and city officials, MEM
oranda of those officiating at the GER
emonies on Sunday and small silken

TELLS ROTARY ARIZONA'S RATIFICATION
WILL MEAN IMMEDIATE DEVELOPMENT

Unanswerable arguments for the
immediate and unconditional ratifica-
ton of the Colorado river compact
were given to Flagstaff Rotarians on
Tuesday by Mulford Winsor, speaker
of the state senate, of Yuma, one of
the most level-headed and best in
formed men of Arizona and indepen-
dent enough to follow his own
thoughts and conscience despite the
sickly maneuvers of his fellow demo-
Gratis in power in their plan to defeat
ratification.
Senator Mulford's talk was straight
to the point, easily digested, clear and
forceful. He impressed his hearers
with his broad knowledge of the sit
uation.
He began by saying he was pleased
to speak to clear-thinking men on a
subject so vital
"There will be no development Of
the Colorado river within the lives
of those now living except it be under
treaty between the seven Colorado
river states" he declared. Continu-
ing, he said, in part:
There is nothing mysterious about
the proposed pact. 1t is brief and
simple treaty between the seven
states. 1t is clear and understand
able, fair and just, sound and logical,
and affords ample grounds for conf
dent belief that if enacted into
| law it will accomplish the purposes
| for which it was designed.
The major purposes are: Equitable
apportionment of the waters among
the seven basin states; fixing the rel
ative Importance of the different uses
of the water; promoting interstate
comfy; protection against disputes
between the states; protection OF life.
Boiled down to a few words, the pur-
pose of the compact is to secure the
expedient development of the Colo
rado river basin.
"Surely everyone wants this.
can't imagine anyone oppoing the pre-
vention of the awful floods and their
| terrible consequences in destruction of
property. | can't conceive of anyone
opposing the reclamation of the sew
eral million acres of arid lands lying
| along the river and their conversion
| into usefulness and productiveness.
can't imagine opposition to harnesslng
| the river and development from 1t or
immense hydro-electric power, with
the consequent electrification OF
transportation lines, furnishing of
power for bringing water, from be-
meath the surface of now unproduc-
tive lands for their irrigation, develop
ment of populous and prosperous
empire, creation of wealth and adj
vancement of civilization, lessening OF
| the burdens of taxation.
Why is the treaty essential?
Because the river belongs to no one
state. 1t is an Interstate stream. All
seven states have moral, equitable
and legal rights in it. Utah, Wyoming
and Colorado particularly feel the
need Of a treaty protecting their
rights. Their mountains provide Is
per cent of the flow Before devel-
opment they want to know whether
their legitimate opportunity for agri-
cultural expansion is going to be pro-
| tected or destroyed thereby. Hence a
| treaty to take the place of destructive
and obstructive litigation, present and
future, to permit the development Of
the river basin within our generation,

UNTIL PACT IS RATIFIED COLORADO RIVER
WILL Re IISEI ESS TORRENT DECI ARES WINS(lR
FLAGSTAFF DUE TO LOSE
BIG TOURIST BUSINESS
AS ROAD MONEY RUSTS

The Sun has it from a reliable
source that the Fred Harvey people
are about to altogether abandon the
project to bring tourists from Grand
Canyon to Flagstaff and make this
the center for trips to Mormon Lake,
Sunset Mountain, Painted Desert,
Cliff Dwellings and other scenic points
of interest in this section.
AS one man who knows the facts
said the other day: Harvey takes in
$1,000 day at Grand Canyon all
summer Flagstaff might just as well
have another 81 900 day from these
people. But Flagstaff evidently does
not want it, so the plan now is to
build road from Grand View to the
Little Colorado bridge at Cameron
and substitute a trip through the
Painted Desert for the original plan
Fine business, Flagstaff! No other
industry with the single exception OF
the lumber industry means as much
I'd Flagstaff as our tourist business.
L4t's kill off the tourist business.
OF course, some people are foolish
enough to think that we ought to keep
the road to Grand Canyon in good

pie. if for nothing else. It was some
such idea that led to the building o.
the Maine-Grand Canyon road. But
that road, for lack of cent spent in
maintainence is now worse than either
of the two old roads. 1t cost less
than tenth Of either to build. It
would cost less than fifth OF either
to maintain.
But, to paraphrase saying of an
old patriot in Americas early days:
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
to build new roads but not single
cent to maintain them"
A well-known highway engineer
said the other day that this county
could go bankrupt on that policy in
few years time and still have no
roads.
There is $4,000 road money in the
county treasury. What is 1t there
for?

LEE DOYLE is BADLY
INJURED BY HORSE

An accident that came near being
serious in result occurred last Sun
day when a horseback party guided
BY Lee Doyle was returning from
Lake Mary, by way of Kellam's pas
ture. Mr.. Doyle, who was riding one
of his gentlest horses, had Jagged be-
hind the rest of the party, and was
galloping to catch up when the horse
stumbled in a prairie dog hole and
fell, pinning Doyle beneath him,
Through the struggling Of the horse to
get up, Lee was badly bruised and
kicked but fortunately no bones were
broken, and after week or so spent
in bed he will probably be up and
astride horse the same as ever. Any
how, he is horse-proof. Several Of
them have tried to kill him but failed
in the attempt,
