Then Mr. Koch devoted his attention
to the Flagstaff water situation and
what he said, bearing on problem
that is vital to Flagstaffs develop
ment and even to its safety, is told in
another column in this issue. Mr..
Koch was given rising vote of thanks
for his splendid talk.
Harry E. Miller, the talented
Apache Indian chief, talked briefly,
forcefully and to the point about the
splendid natural advantages in seem
cry, climate and water that Flagstaff
possesses and the shameful way we
are neglecting to advertise them and
thus capitalize on them. Tourists
don't know in advance about our wa
ter, about odr splendid camping
grounds, about our numerous other at
fractions, he declared. They've heard
of Grand Canyon and Of nothing else.
He made a strong plea for concerted,
widespread advertising, stating that
consistently as he is doing all day,
every day, we would soon become far
more widely and favorably known and
would greatly profit thereby.
At each plate was a card, tied with
black silk ribbon, which Mrs. George
Becker, Rotaryann, had prepared and
which was inscribed: "In memory OF
our president, Warren G. Harding.
Flagstaff Rotary"
1t having been Mr. Becker's birth
day last Sunday, the cigars smoked
Tuesday were from him.
President Powers assessed fines at
a lively rate, and Mr. Koch, with Mr..
Powers permission, also assessed a.
few. Any fellow who escaped must
have been under the table.
Mr.. Powers in introducing Mr. Koch
said they both found that with adj
vancing years they can run just az
fast and jump just as far as they ever
could, only they light quicker.
