 The following chart illustrates the price trend:
 With practically no demand to speak of, the extra staple markets continue quiet and prices are down slightly from the levels that pre- vailed a week ago. There have been some instances of manufacturers picking up small lots to take care of immediate needs, but on the whole mill men show an apathy toward trade in view of the decline in prices.
 There has been little change noted in the shorter cotton. but business is reported to be almost at standstill with occasional sales of odd lots. There has been some inquiry for the lower grades, but there has been too much margin between the ideas of the mill men aNd the brokers to lead to any material business.

The president and his advisers believe that, if tine government demonstrates it's intention of treat- ing enforcement with seriousness, thoughtful citizens will rally to- the support of such a movement and the whole public attitude will change.

NEW YORK, April 2s.-(Special. )-The market was very steady at the outset in view of the unfavorable map that was posted but shortly after the opening, pre- dictions came in for better weather over the belt the next few days. This caused wave of selling. Later reports came from New England that the mill business was very dull and there was some talk of curtaiment in the future. This had very depressing effect the mar ket and carried July under 27 cents. If the weather should clear as predicted we feel the market is liable to have an other setback

THIS MAN BEAT YOU
ALL INTO FLAGSTAFF

Once in while voice out of the
past is heard. Seemed sort Of old
timey, for instance, the other day
when a letter was received at The
Sun office from C. F. Lawton, city
forester of New Bedford, Mass. He
says:
"The name of Flagstaff is to me
very pleasantly reminiscent of many
early days spent in Arizona, particul-
arly in the neighborhood of Flag
staff. | was one of the engineers in
the first party of railroad surveyors
in 1879 under Lewis Kingman and
was the first division engineer ap-
pointed by Kingman, having my camp
at Turkey Tanks in 1881. | was track
engineer, laying the track from Can
yon Diablo to the Colorado river, and
for large part of the time was also
bridge engineer at the front. So that
from '79 to '83 / was constantly in the
advance guard.
"Many interesting things happened
in those early days. Flagstaff was
only Antelope Spring with one little
log cabin, where man lived who
owned dog.
"'In my older and quieter years I
am getting a good deal of enjoyment
in writing some "reminiscences of those
early years.
"I have been for Is years super.
intendent of public works and city

BOY SCOUTS HAVE
FINE TWO-DAY OUTING
DOWN AT LAKE MARY

Through the courtesy of the Flag
staff Lumber Co. and others a lot OF
the Boy Scouts had real outing last
week.
The boys went down Thursday
morning on the logging train to Lake
Mary. Establishing Stanley E. Wat
kins' cottage on the west side of the
lake as headquarters, they put in the
rest of the day, all day Friday and
until the home trip of the logging
train Saturday afternoon in the usual
scout stunts and activities, getting by
experience lot of valuable camping
information, and in boating, canoeing
and fishing.
On Friday they entertained num-
Der of the fair sex who made the trip
down and back on the logging train.
Perhaps it would be more in line with
exact facts to say that the visitors
did the entertaining, because they
brought along a, lot of things mighty
good to eat and that were eaten with
mighty appetites by the scouts.
These visitors were Mrs. w. F.
Wallace, chaperon; the Misses Hazel
Allsup, Mary Lamport, Violet Raude-
baugh, Gertrude Mcclure, Agnes
Switzer, Louise Switzer.
The Scouts, who were in charge of
Scout Executive w. D. Myers, were:
Patrol Leaders Clifford Bengston,
George Tyson and Les Mcclure;
Scribes Yale McFate and Sherman
Schwarz; Clifford Ward, John Metz,
James Johnston, Wellington Francis,
Bruce McFate, George Mcdonald,
Fred Caring, Maurice Zook, Bus
ter Raudebaugh, Burton Cameron,
Clifton Williams, George Marine, Ell
mer Brewer, David Slipher and Har-
vey Cooper.
The only casualty was to Yale Nc
Fate, who twice fell in the lake.

NEW HIGHWAY ESTIMATED
TO COST $780, 900 AND TO
BE DONE In THREE YEARS

between the supervisors and the visit
ing congressman, at which the sale of
the trail to the government was dis
cussed and the terms agreed upon
Frank C. w. Pooler, district fores-
ter, told the congressman and surer-
visors that though all but IL of the
So miles of the road lie within the
national forests, the forest road mon
ey will be taken up during at least
the next Is years on other roads and
trails.
Congressman Carter at first took
stand that this county should build its
own II miles of the road. But he la
ter agreed with Congressman Hay
den and Cramton that it probably is
up to the government to take care OF
the entire road.
Interesting in this connection are
the figures showing the rapid increase
of automobile travel to Grand Cam
yon. In 1921 there were 5,105 cars
and 1881 occupants; in 1922, 1890
cars and 25,470 occupants; in March,
1922, A cars and 81 people; in March,
1928, 81 cars and 451 people. 1t is
estimated that more people will visit
Grand Canyon this year by automobile
than by rail.
Last years records show that of
the cars registering at Grand Canyon,
only one in hundred were owned in
this county. This helped convince the
visiting congressman that the question

CONGRESSIONAL PARTY IS
NFORMALLYENTERTAINED
BY PEOPLE OF FLAGSTAFF

The congressional party touring
the state as guests of Congressman
Carl Hayden, came in from Grand
Canyon Sunday arriving here at 1
o'clock and were given an impromptu
luncheon at the Normal school at
1:30, leaving at about 3 o'clock under
the guidance of Stephen Janus, su-
perintendent of Indian schools, and
going to Winslow, Hoibrook and 9TH
er towns east.
In the party were Congressman and
Mrs. Carl Hayden, Congressman Louis
c. Cramton of Michigan, Congress-
man and Mrs. Chas. D. Carter of Ok
lahoma, District Forester Frank c..
Pooler, Frank Goodman, state engin-
eer; Mr.. and Mrs. H. NJ. Albright and
r. H. Clarkson, general transporta-
tion manager for the Fred Harvey
system.
Congressman Cramton is chair
man of the subcommittee on appro-
priations for the interior department
Congressman Carter is the ranking
democratic member of the same COM
mittee. Mr.. Albright, who accom-
panied the party, is assistant field
director Of the national park service
under Director Mathers and is locat-
ed at Livingston, Montana.
The party met with the board of
supervisors at Grand Canyon Satur-
day previous when the matter of the
sale or trade of the Bright Angel
The Coconino sun., 1923-04-06

Coconino county has offered to turn
Bright Angel trail Grand Canyon ov-
er to the United States government
in consideration of the government
spending 100000 on the Maine
Grand Canyon road next year. 1t is
further understood that the road is
to be built and maintained by the
government, same as the Cody road
in Wyoming, the total cost of such
construction of type similar to that
of the Flagstaff Williams road being
estimated at $580,000.
Thus the county will get fair
price for the trail and will be relieved
of the expensive burden of building
and maintaining a good road to Grand
Canyon.
It is felt that, with the government
in charge of the road, it will be made
one of the best in the state. The gov
ernment has spent a great deal of
money on improvements in Grand
Canyon national park, and the pro-
gram for the next three years calls
for, the expenditure of $750,000 more,
most of which is to be upon roads
within the park. Naturally, with the
government owning the approach road
it will be properly built and main
tanned.
Joe B. Rickel, clerk Of the county
board of supervisors, on Tuesday, told
the Rotary club about the meeting at
Grand Canyon last Saturday evening

ROTARIANS LEARN ALL
ABOUT LUMBER AND
SHORTAGE OF HOMES

With Ray (''Teddy'') Babbitt grasp
ing the gavel firmly in both hands, by
virtue of being chairman for the day
and through his having impressed as
chief performers Tex Mackey, Milt
Powers, Fred Breen, Earl Sipher, Joe
Rickel and Joe Dolan, in the order
named, the Rotary program on Tues
day was spiffy.
? DIR. Mackey made 'em sing, and a
lot of the members, including Pat
Moran and the Irish, found them
selves named in the tantalizing topi-
cal tune.
Mr.. Powers gave an interesting re-
port on the recent district convention
at Tucson, especially complimenting
the Tucson Rotarians and citizens
generally for their liberal and hearty
welcome to the visitors.
Mr.. Breen elaborated on the oyster
bake and pop service on either side of
the international boundary near No
gales, at both of which the Nogales
Rotarians were hosts.
Mr.. Slipher described the reception
given here last Sunday to the visiting
congressman and their wives by the
committee from Rotary.
Mr.. Rickel told what happened last
Saturday afternoon at Grand Canyon
at the meeting between the aforesaid
congressman and the county board of
supervisors.
Mr.. Dolan, introduced to tell chow
to build a house without paying for
the lumber" didn't quite keep to the
text, but unloaded lot of interesting
information, to-wit:
Economic conditions of the world
are unsettled and many things could
take place to upset the most careful
calculations such as financial string
encies, war abroad, strikes at home
and governmental tinkering with eco
nomic affairs, and any statement /
should make would have to be made in
the light of present knowledge and
would not take into consideration such
factors as panics, wars, strikes or
credit manipulations.
During the war our lumber prices
were fixed by the government on a
basis that would permit only so per
cent Of lumber production to FUNCTION.
1t was the governments announced
policy during the war to discourage
building as well as production of build
ing materials on the theory that there
was greater need for men in the army
and munitions and shipbuilding indus
tries than in the building industry.
Had the war been of three months
longer duration, there is no question
but that the policy of the war indus
tries board would have been to con-
strue as non-essential all lumber pro-

trail was discussed at length. 1t
was proposed that Coconino county
turn over the trail to the government
provided the government would ap-
propriate 100000 for building the
Maine-Grand Canyon road and main
tain it as a government road. 1t
was understood tho trail would be
turned over as soon as the first
100000 was made available for road
work. II this amount was insuffic-
lent, additional appropriations would
be made to complete and maintain the
road, since it is in reality national
park road with only twelve miles out
side of either the national park or
national forest, and the twelve miles
through open government domain. 1t
was thought that the next budget
made uD for the interioR department
will contain provisions for this ex-
change.
The party was we'll pleased with
their trip through this section and
were eager for an inspection of the
Indian country.
The luncheon was an informal af-
fair given by the Rotary club, assisted
by Miss Berchtold and her domestic
science class at the Normal. Local
people present to welcome the con-
gressional party were Mr.. and Mrs.
L. B. McMullen, M. l. Powers, I. B.
Koch, Mr.. and Mrs. B. A. Cameron,
Mr.. and Mrs. F.. S. Breen, Father Va
bre and Earl Slipher.

ELKS TO HOLD STATE
CONVENTION AT GRAND
CANYON JULY z TO 4

1t has been definitely decided by
the state association of Elks that the
annual state convention will be held in
Grand Canyon July 2, 3, 4.
Elks in great numbers from the
southern part of the state are expect
ed to come in motor calvacade, stop
ping at Flagstaff for few hours,
probably all night, on the way.
California lodges have been notified
and arrangements are being made
with the railroad to route all special
Elk trains from the coast to the nat
ional Elks convention at Atlanta by
way of Grand Canyon, to be there
during the state convention.
1t is expected to initiate big class
of candidates on the brink of the can
yon, all the lodges of the state making
a drive for new members to be taken
in at that time, and it is believed that
this will be the largest class ever in
itiated by a fratenal organization in
this state.
Arizona and California lodges are
expected to have drill teams present,
and there. will be special entertain
ment features, including barbecue,
field sports, Indian dances, etc. The
initiation will be on July 4 and can
didates may feel it a special privilege
to be taken into this American order
on Independence day.
A tent city will afford accommoda-
tions for Elks who can not be taken
care of in the hotels and sleeping cars
of the special trains.
