RIVER COMMITTEE
TO GO TO WASHINGTON

Members Of the special committee
Of nine, appointed last May by Gov
ernor George w. p. Hunt to confer
and adopt an ARIZONA Flan" for the
development of the Colorado river,
will attend the conference to be held
in Washington Monday, September "a,
with the federal power commission.
This decision was reached at the
third conference of the committee.
The conference was called primarily to
take up the matter of the conference
between the committee and the fed
eral power commission.
It is understood that nearly every
member of the special committee of
nine will attend the conference, al
though at first it was suggested that
only a delegation Of two or three,
chosen from the committee, attend as
representatives Of the committee.
However, it was finally agreed that
all members Of the committee who
could would go.

power commission and the committee

HIGHWAY COMMISSION
AND DISTRICT FORESTER
DON'T AGREE ON ROAD

Al difference of opinion between the
Coconino Coanty Highway commission
and District Forest Supervisor Frank
C. w. Pooler over the proper width OF
the proposed new Coleman Lake-Pine
Flats section of the Williams-Clark-
dale road, decided the commission to
let the forest people build the road
without cooperation from the county.
There are seven miles in the section
proposed to be built. The commission
some time ago advertised for bids.
The road was to be built from joint
funds Of the county and the U. S.
forest department, the county using
the $4,000 bond money still left from
the $4,000 federal aid bond money
voted three years ago, and the district
forest office matching it with a Ike
amount.
The commissioners want a 14-foot
road, feeling that one less wide viii
not answer Mr. Pooler wrote that he
considered building more than nine
foot road a waste of money. There
fore the commissioners decided and
Chairman M. |. Powers of the COM
mission wrote Mr.. Pooler that if the
forest money could not be spent on a
road wider than nine feet, the COM
mission would let the forest depart
ment build the road and would not
put any county money into it.
TT was decided by the commission
to leave the $4,000 Williams-C Clark
dale bond money and the $4,000 bond
money still unusued on the Oak Creek
highway remain intact until such time
as the commission can get what it
deems to be proper cooperation from
the national forest, or, in event that
such cooperation is not given within
a reasonable time, to submit the allot-
ment of the $4,000 to vote of the
taxpayers of the county so that it may
be spent elsewhere, for instance, on
the Mormon lake road.
The meeting of the commission was
at the courthouse, Flagstaff last Sat-
urday morning. All the members
were present. They are: Chairman M.
l. Powers, T. A. Riordan ard Walter
w. Durham, all of Flagstaff, and Ben
Sweetwood and F. o. Poison of Viii

Los ANGELES MUST HAVE
OUR COKEING COAL FOR
PROPOSED NEW STEEL MILL

In connection with the agitation for
a better road from Flagstaff to the
new oil fields northeast Of here, by
way of Kayenta, is the announcement
that much of the success of the plan
recently announced to build an inn
mense steel mill in Los Angeles de-
pends upon the cheapness with which
the big deposits of cokeing coal in the
vicinity of the oil fields can be tap
ped.
Coke is necessary in a steel mill.
There is lots of cokeing coal on the
reservation northeast Of here.
Step by step Arizona progresses,
as one. after another of her immense
and as yet practically untouched nat
ural resources come into play. Los
Angeles or any other southwestern
city will have to depend upon our
cokeing coal supply if steel mills are
to be successfully operated. The entire
southwest viii before long run it's
principal industries with electricity
from Colorado river dams in this
state. The time is now very near
when Arizona will have a boom, per-
manent and magnificent in effect, that
will make it far more prosperous and
far more populous.

CLOUD BURST DID MUCH
DAMAGE AT THE CANYON

When Grand Canyon has a cloud
burst it has it on a magnificent scale.
Recently the Colorado river in the
big gorge rose three feet in as many
minutes. And the cle,ud-burst that
caused the phenomenon was not one
of those dinky little affairs mile or
so wide. If you don't believe it, lis
tent to what it did:
It washed big lot OF the new road
to Desert View that is being built by
R. H. Clarkson, superintendent of
transportation for the Fred Harvey
people, back into the Colorado. 1t
washed huge boulders on to Bright
Angel trail, blocking it. 1t played
merry hobs with the surfacing on the
Hermit trail. 1t washed out rail-

Canyon railroad. One minute every
thing, while little cloudy, was Sc

stopped, = as one charming Grand Cam

ROTARY PICNIC NEXT
TUESDAY INCLUDES ALL

A change has been made in the pro-
gram of the Rotary club for next
Tuesday and instead of taking visiting
Rotarians from Holbrook, Winslow
and Williams on a picnic trip around
east of the mountain and to the city
springs, the great caravan will go
over the San Francisco Peaks scenic
boulevard, to point high up in the
woods to view the surrounding coun-
try. Owing to recent rains and the
possibility of more, it was thought
best by /. B. Koch, who is the chair
man for the day, to make this
change.
Tt is understood that all the people
and their friends are invited to at
tend this picnic. All you have to do
is to pack up your lunch kit and
come along. 1t is understood that the
Rotary bunch and friends will leave
Flagstaff at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing. The drive is an easy one and
can be made in an hour or so. While
no definite point has been settled up
on, it is thought fine picnic ground
will be found within mile or two
from the saddle Of the mountain
from which place the more ambitious
may climb as far up on the top as
their breathing apparatus will permit.
This goes for everyone. No special
invitation is required. Just bring
along plenty to eat and pleasant DIS
position.

derful inspiration to see so many
prominent people from all over the
southwest gathered here ready to
give with nothing to get. He spoke
of our resources and told a story or
two, in a talk as happy and graceful
as it was brief.
George Todd, president of the Phoe-
nix club, responded, and took occas-
ion to pay a graceful compliment to
the Flagstaff club, which, he said al
ways gave the Rotary visitor inspira-
ton that he could not but wish to
carry back to his own club.
Governor Martin announced the ap-
pointment of Clint Anderson, secre-
tary of the Albuquerque club, as sec
retary for the conference. Then came
roll call, each visitor giving his name,
name and number of his club, his Of
ficial position with his club, his nick
name and classification business he

of the Miami club, was made SER

FLAGSTAFF ASTRONOMER
DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED AT
SUN ECLIPSE CONDITIONS

DIR. v. NJ. Slipher, chief of staff at
Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff, ex-
pressed great disappointment yester-
day morning on his return from En-
senada, Lower California, at the gen
eral failure of astronomers to get
photographs on the 10th OF the solar
eclipse.
Weather conditions all along the
Pacific coast from Catalina islands
south were abnormal, DR.. Slipher
said. For several days preceding and
during the day of the eclipse, there
was lots of fog and heavy clouds
hung low, as dense and quiet as they
are is the New England states in au-
tumn.
Astronomers generally were greatly
disappointed. This and the total
eclipse in 1918 were considered the
best for observation purposes IN
years. While total eclipses come Of
ten, frequently the zone of total OBJ
scuritv is in some inaccessible part OF
the world. And seldom is the moon
SO close to the earth at the time OF
the eclipse as to make the observation
as satisfactory as it would have been
this time.
A total eclipse in 1926 will be Wis
ible in the New England states.
It was almost dark at Ensenada
during the eclipse, DR.. Slipher said.
He understands that DR.. Miller OF
Swarthmore, Pa, got fairly satisfac-
tory photographs at Torreon, Mexico
He came near taking some specto-
graphs along and going to Torreon
with DR.. Miller, who was his profes-
sor in college, and now regrets that
he did not.
DR.. Slipher returned by train. Dr.
6. o. Lampland Of the observatory
staff has returned as far as Los An
geles, to which city Mrs. Lampland
accompanied him from here, and they
will remain there next week to at
tend the astronomical convention.
Earl C. Slipher and his wife, who
motored to Ensenada, are motoring
back, as are also Stanley Sykes and
his son, Guy Sykes, who carried the
supplies and instruments over for the
party.

SPORTSMEN FROM ALL
OVER ARIZONA TO MEET
HERE SEPTEMBER 24-25

Sportsmen from all over Arizona
will meet in Flagstaff on Monday and
Tuesday, September "A and 20, to
discuss and recommend revision in
the state game laws, especially with
reference to zone duck laws and bag
limits. Work to this end has been
going on for the last three years and
It Is believed the result Of the meet
ing will be modification of the laws
to make them more equitable to the
widely-diverse climatic conditions Of
Arizona.
The meeting here this month will
be attended by repre- entatives from
the following organizations:
Flagstaff Game Protective associa-
ton, Prescott Game, Fish and Forest
Protective association, Verde Valley
Game Protective association, White
Mountain Sportsmen's association,
Tucson Game Protective association,
Kingman Gun club, Williams Gun
club.
1t is likely that at the meeting a
permanent organization will be form
ed, though the local organizations
viii not in any way lose their identity,
and that the new organization will be
known as the Arizona State Game
Protective association.
On Sunday morning the visitors will
be taken in charge by the Flagstaff
Gun club, and there viii be a clay pig
con shoot. On Monday night there
will be banquet.

Zane Grey, the author, whose vivid
stories of Arizona have spread the
fame of our scenic magnificence over
all the world and greatly increased
the tourist travel to this state, is more
or less responsible also for moving
picture that will bring much more i'm
mediate and even greater results OF
that kind.
Since Mr.. Grey recently broke the
unsatisfactory relations that existed
between him and a motion picture
concern and made new arrangements
with the Famous Players-Lasky cor
poration, things have been coming
our way fast.
A few weeks ago came the big
company of stars that are now here
and at Oak Greek picturizing Grey's
novel, The Call of the Canyon. On
the 26th of this month, at Lees Fer
ry, another Famous Players-Lasky
company will begin filming the pic
ture version of The Heritage of the
Desert. Supplies and equipment are
now being taken out from Flagstaff
under the direction Of Lee Doyle,
Grey's transportation man, son of the
late Allan Doyle, Flag taff's famous
guide for Grey and other prominent
men.
