In his address before the conven-

IMPORTANT CORNER
AND SOON WILL BUILD

A real estate deal of more than US
ual Importance was made few days
ago, Mrs. l.. r. Hall having bought
the four lots at the corner of Leroux
and Aspen, directly across the street
west of the Arizona Central bank.
This is one of the most valuable
corners in Flags lff. Mrs. Hall is not
quite ready to announce how the prop
erty will be improved, but it will be,
and very soon, at any rate not later
than next year. The only building
occupying it at present is the residence
tenanted by w. H. Harper.
Mrs. Hall will either build a modern
hotel or a modern apartment building
on, the corner, covering the entire four
lots. She is at present managing the
Weatherford hotel, which she leases
from John w. Weatherford, and has
made it mighty comfortable, home
like and popular place. Whether it
be hotel or an apartment building
that she finally decide to biuld it will
be a credit to Flagstaff and some
thing Flagstaff badly needs to help
take care of the constantly increasing
throng of visitors and permanent resi-
dents. It is reported that Mrs. Hall
has plans all drawn for both types Of
building.

GOVERNOR HUNT WRITES
STRONG LETTER URGING
AID ON OAK CREEK ROAD

Governor Hunt is carrying out his
pledge to do all in his power to assist
in the building of the Oak Creek road.
He has placed the matter forcefully
before Chief U. S. Forester w. B.
Greeley in the following letter under
date of May 22nd:
Dear Sir:
We have in Yavapai county a road
project locally known as the Oak
Creek project, connecting Clarkdale,
Jerome, Clemenceau, Cottonwood,
| Camp Verde and the Verde Valley,
j with Flagstaff and northern Arizona.
Owing to the fact that this project
is not on the state per cent system,
federal aid can not be secured for
some, and owing also to the very linn
tied amount Of state funds it requires
all of that fund to maintain our per
cent system and to match federal aid
for future construction.
Coconino county, as you are prob
ably aware, is the second largest coun-
ty in the United States, SO per cent
of its area being controlled by the
u. S. government in Indian reserva-
tions, forest reserves and national
parks, leaving only II per cent for
direct taxation, and since the county
has some 14O0 miles of eroad, it is
readily apparent that direct tax can
not be raised of sufficient amount to
keep up their county system apd ap-
ply any considerable amount upon the
Oak Creek project, notwithstanding
the fact that the people realize the
urgent necessity of having this road.
However, during the winter months
they have drawn upon their very nlea-
gre road fund to the amount of $780,
600 to attempt to eliminate part of
the impossible section of this road, so
that people trying to make the trip
from the Verde valley to Flagstaff
will not endanger their lives by hav-
ing to cross Oak Creek during flood
stage.
Would it not be possible for you to
place the Oak Creek project upon
your program of approved projects,
in order that small amounts may be
apportioned from time to time as
funds are available, to apply toward
the ultimate construction of this badly
needed project. If you can consider
this project favorably it will be ap-
preciated by the state of Arizona and
especially by practically the entire
population of northern Arizona.
The Oak Creek canyon and the VIC
inity of Flagstaff, the Grand Canyon,
and Williams, is very rapidly becom-
ing the recreation ground of our home
people during the summer months, and
as early as May / travel has begun
to wind its way to the northern high
altitude to escape the torrid heat of
the southern part of the state.
Trusting you may be able to con-
slider this project favorably in the fu-
ture, | am
Yours very truly,
(Signed) GEO. w. P. HUNT,
Governor.

TO DEPARTED HEROES

One of the most impressive and in
spring Decoration day programs ever
held in Flagstaff is the general ver-

Former service men in uniform held
the colors at either side of the stage,
on which were seated the speakers
and four federal veterans of the Civil
war-Judge S. B. Gilliland, chairman
of the day; ]. C. Milligan, w. H.
Pierce and Ben Doney.
Having been in charge of Memorial

COL. M'NAB LOANS 25TH
INFANTRY BAND TOLEGION

The 25th Infantry band of Nogales,
one of the most talented musical or
ganizations In the entire southwest,
will furnish a goodly share of the
pep, dash and ginger for the annual
state convention of the American Le-
gion to be held at Flagstaff June IL,
II and I3. Announcement that this
favorite among military bands had
been secured for the occasion was
made from state headquarters of
the Legion by C. NJ. Stoddard, state
commander. The services of the band,
he said, were secured primarily
through the courtesy of Col. A. j.
McNab, commander Of the 25th and
financed through the splendid gener-
osity of the Frank A. Moore post of
Flagstaff and the Frank Luke, Jr.,
post of Phoenix.
The 25th band will travel overland
from Nogales on army transport
trucks, arriving in Phoenix, Friday,
June 8, on the evening of which a
concert will be given under the aus
pices of Frank Luke, Jr., post, with
an admission charge of so and 25
cents. Following the concert they will
continue their journey northward. to
participate in the convention festiv-
tiles beginning with the opening day,
Monday, June IL.
All posts are now working strenu-
ously to send as many delegates to
the convention as possible, as this will
be determining factor in the award
of the grand trophy which has been
put up by the state headquarters for
the post showing the greatest increase
in membership over last year and the
largest attendance at the convention.
Ridge Igo post of Nogales is first
and the H. H. Donkersley post of Yu-
ma second in the state contest fol
additional members up to June 6, with
$500 cash to be distributed among the
winners. The object is to secure
enough additional members to place
Arizona ahead of Georgia and at the
top of the national standing list based
on percentage of increase over last
year. A few hundred additional mem
bers is all that stands in the way of
top position, it is announced.

PHOENIX WOULD PUT
CANYON ON THE BUM

Much of the transcontinental auto
mobile tourist travel through Arizona
over the northern Old Trails highway
route will be diverted to southern and
central portions of the state, if a
movement initiated by the Phoenix
chamber of commerce through its good
roads committee, and expected to
reach statewide proportions, is sue
cessful.
The committee has drawn up ana
adopted petition directed to Cover
nor Hunt and Frank r. Goodman,
state engineer, urging early reopen
ing of the highway between Rice and
Springerville as part of the z per cent
tate highway system, and the setting
aside of a $4,000 fund to match a
similar amount from Gila county for
a resurvey of the road. The governor
also is urged in the petition to seek

Copies of the petition are to be sent
broadcast over the state for the in

Arizona citizens as possible. The l,-

asted in this important highway prof.
ect to call there and add their sigma
ture.
Years ago the Rice-Springerville
road was a Z per cent project, but
has been omitted from that grouping

tically impossible, would connect the

PATHFINDER SCOUTS
new SCENIC LOOP
FOR SUNDAY AUTOISTS

Douglas s. Roome, who, when he
doesn't have something else to do and
the weather is good, spends his Sun
days with Mrs. Roone and others
hunting up scenery within auto range
of Flagstaff, secuted out new loop
on Sunday along which he says the
scenery for sheer beauty and variety
beats any trip of similar distance in
this country.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roome and Miss Ala
Steen left here at 1920 Sunday morn
ing, intending to go only to the edge
of the rim at the top of Schnebly hill.
But they kept on going. Down the
hill almost to Clarkdale, then a cut
off to Cornville, a side trip from be-
yond Cornville to Montezuma's well
and castle; back to the main road
again and up the Beaver Creek grade
to Stoneman lake; then on past Nor
mon lake and Lake Mary home. They
took it easy, stopping often, and got
home again at 10 that night, having
travelled 100 miles.
They found the road to Clarkdale
rough. From there to beyond Corn
vile it is a boulevard. 1t is a fair
road up Beaver Creek grade, which,
though long, is so easy that practical
" all of it was taken on high. From
the top of the rim the road home was
fair, good and rough at various places.
They demonstrated that it is as
easy daylight trip, allowing time for
frequent short stops. Forest scenery
first out of Flagstaff; from the top
nf Srhnnhlv hill a yinW of fha nntirp
Sedona valley, with all the copper
towns plainly seen; then down past
obelisks and minarets similar to those
in Grand Canyon; across Oak Creek
and the lower canyon, then the old
ruins and back again into the big pines
and the lake country.
