the great burden placed on taxpayers
is that which they assume at their

the building OF homes quicker than "A

NORMAL SCHOOL TO OPEN
MONDAY; IMPROVEMENTS,
ADDITIONS TO FACULTY

The Northern Arizona Normal
School opens next Monday, October !,
with unusually brilliant prospects. Be
fore the close of summer school, more
reservations had been made In the
dormitories than were made at the
beginning of the school last year.
Several students are already on the
ground. having stayed through the
vacation in Flagstaff, feeling, proper
ly enough, that spending vacation
elsewhere would mean the lowering OF
vacation standards. Others living IN
Flagstaff have returned after visits
with friends and relatives in adjacent
territory. But tomorrow evening the
winter migration toward Flagstaff
should be In full swing.
The students viii find that many
changes have taken place during the
summer. Al new athletic field has been
graded during the last week by "Dad'2
HoIIar and his assistants. Morton
hall has been redecorated and the
whole plant has been thoroughly clean
ed and shined up for the coming
school year The worknen, under the
direction of Engineer Hughes have
been making a desperate fight against
adverse weather conditions, in order
that they might finish the big, new
smoke stack on the power plant. This
stack is considerably larger in diam
eter than the old one and will be 25
feet higher. 1t is estimated that the
cost of the stack will be saved IN fuel
within two years. The new dairy barn
is one of the improvements that will
crafty the old students. When the
small herd Of Holsteins which the
board Of education has decided to buy,
is installed, the dining hall will be
assured of much more milk than it
has heretofore been able to afford.
Altogether, the improvements of
the summer point toward the develop
ment of the rear campus. Not many
people realize that the school owns a
total Of 130 acres, which assures it
plenty Of room for future develop
ment.

ROTARY CLUB
PICNIC UP
BOULEVA
NEAR THET TOP

Rotarians, their wives and guests
enioyed q wonderful ride on Tuesday
up the Weatherford boulevard now
building from Flagstaff to the top of
San Francisco peaks. Picnic lunch
10000 feet up in the air was followed
by brief Rotary meeting.
The day was perfect. The bunch
began leaving the WeatherfOrd hotel
at 10 a. IN. The road all the way was
in fine condition, especially compar-
ed with many roads to scenic points
around Flagstaff, the grading well
done and no danger at any point.
From near the picnic grounds could
plainly be seen the Mazatlan noun
tains, 120 miles away in an air line,
and many of the towns in northern
Arizona.
During the Rotary meeting, after
Mr.. Weatherford had been given a
hearty three cheers for his courtesy
in letting the crowd over the road,
he told something of the work he is
doing. He has been on the job for
three years. Money during the strln-
gent times a short while back was
hard to get. Nevertheless, he has done
the preliminary Uu1lutitS VI AAA-
of the road, which is still to be
smoothed, widened, grades eased up,
and surfaced. When it is done any
Ford in good condition can go all the
way up without trouble. Mr.. Wealth,
erford said he'd almost sweated blood
to get the road built that far, but
that in year from now the remain
ing four miles viii be built and the
entire road surfaced.
From the top of either Humphrey
or Agassiz peak, which can be reach,
of the road when it is finished, one
can see without glasses into New
Mexico. Colorado, California, Utah,

He believe there will be special

soon-that, in fact, there will have
to be special session to relieve the
money stringency in the highway de-
partment and permit it to continue

The plan proposed by the governor
is novel. He proposes, in short, to

PEOPLE BADLY INJURED
WHEN CAR SONIERSAULTED

Mr.. and Mrs. Bud Waters and Mrs.
Walter Bennett, all of Flagstaff,
were all painfully bruised late We'd
nesday night while returning from
Williams, when Buds Oakland touring

Fred Platten's ranch at Pittman VAL
ley, ten miles this side of Williams.
The car was badly wrecked.
All three were riding in the front
seat, the rear seat being unoccupied.
It was showing slightly and the wind
shield was covered with snow. Com
ing down the hill on the reverse curve
near Platten's, Bud saw he was get
ting off the road Apparently he
struck the gas foot lever instead of
the foot brake, for the car shot
ahead, striking broadside against a
bank of dirt that had been built up to
deflect wslter, the, car going eom-
pletely over, then half over again,
landing on its side.
All three were spilled out, FORUM

up several ways as now, shall all be
diverted to sinking fund and inter
est fund for the redemption of the
bonds.
Mr.. Goodman says the Scent tax
will pay the interest and retire the
bonds within 20 years; moreover, that
If travel continues at the same rate
as in the last two years, the whole
debt will be wiped off the state in
IL years.
Under this plan, Mr.. Goodman
points out, the tourists, our biggest
gas consumers, will pay much of the
bonded debt.
Here are some of the roads TO be
paved, according to the schedule:
Phoenix to Yuma, Phoenix to Globe,
The Coconino sun., 1923-09-28

Douglas to Tombstone, two roads out
Of Tucson, Casa Grande to Gila Bend,
Winslow to Canyon Diablo, Flagstaff
to Williams, Winslow to New Mexico
line, Kingman to California line.
All strips between paved sections,
as for instance Canyon Diablo to
Flagstaff and Williams to Kingman,
are to be built and surfaced, but will
not be paved.
The schedule also includes building
a surfaced highway between Flag
staff and Clarkdale through Oak
Greek.
Of course, even if the special, OF
regular session Of the legislature does
pass the bond measure, it still will
have to be referred specifically to the
people in general election before i
becomes effective.

The county officials who returned
Saturday night from Fredonia, where
they had been for three weeks col
lecfing taxes from Utah st0ckmen
who run their cattle in this county,
this side of the state line, report

The taxes were collected. The Utah
men at first refused to pay, daring
.Coconino county to do its worst. MRS.
Ana Frohmiller, county treasurer
thereupon promptly had lot OF cat
tie rounded up and posted notices adj
yertising their sale in Z days.
The owners appeared on the day Oh
sale. They claimed the seizure was
illegal. Mrs. Frohmiller replied tnat
their cattle brands were not register
ed. that she had acted within the law
and that as the hour of sale was only
10 minutes off they better pay rlgnt
then: otherwise there sure was gong
to be sale. -.
The buvers were on hand. At the
last moment under advice of their at
fornevs. the recreant cattle owners
weakened and paid. Whereupon they
became friendly, the incident leaving
no hard feelings. =

trouble was entirely with Utah resi-
