G. A. R. OF ARIZONA
FAILS AT ROLL CALL

s'Arizonam
"Arizona!" Silence! Tragic silence!
It was in the convention hall at Mil
waukee, where the Grand Army of the
Republic was assembled in national
convention.
1t was the secretary calling the roll
of the departments.
There was no answer from Arizona,
for Arizona, as department of the
Grand Army Of the Republic, had
ceased to exist.
Tt was a portentuous silence. 1t was
as if, after a sanguinary battle, the
muster-roll was being called, and
Arizona did not answer, for it meant
that Time, the great vanquisher, had
silenced Arizona's answer to the roll
call of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie.
Arizona is the first state to drop
out of the Grand Army by reason OF
the ravages of time, and when Arr
zona failed to answer the roll call at
Milwaukee there was a startled 81
lence among the old veterans and
among the lookers-on, for it herald
ed the beginning of the end of the
Grand Army of the Republic. During
the last year twenty thousand OF the
old veterans have passed away and as
this number is increased year by year,
as it will be in the nature of things,
the thinned ranks will be reflected in
the failure of other state departments
to answer to the roll call. There will
be additional vacant spaces in the par
ade line, dedicated to an absent dele
cation.
1t is not that there are no Grand
Army veterans in Arizona, but their
number is too small to support an or
Ranization-an so Arizona, as de-
partment of this vanishing army, has
figuratively crossed over the river
to rest under the shade of the trees" I"
It is timely and opportune to re-
claim what glimpses we may have OF
this soldier, the personification OF
Arizona, as he vapishes out of our
sight. Time flies and memory is
fleeting. The majority Of the old vet
erans who wore the blue have passed
on and few remain to tell the story
of Arfzona's ventures in the war be-
tween the states. AS an organization
the Grand Army Of Arizona has pass
ed over the horizon, gapping it with
glorious exit.
The Coconino sun., 1923-10-05

Pooler, Of the Albuquerque office of
the forest service. "For some years
we have known that our native pine
could be used as a source Of naval
stores but we have not heretofore
tried to push the turpentine industry
because we did not consider the time
opportune. Now, however, a large
part of the southeastern forests have
been exhausted, and the price Of rosin
and turpentine are soaring. We,
therefore, believe that the southwest
offers the greatest opportunity for
the continuation of the industry. We
also believe that even with the
smaller yield of western yellow pine,
it is now perfectly feasible to pro-
duce turpentine in Arizona and New
Mexico.
"There is an immense stand of tim
Der in the southwest which can be
turpentined," continued Mr. Poeler,
"and under the conservative methods
which will be insisted upon on the
national forests, large permanent in
dustry can be established. Turpen-
timing will be allowed only on trees
which are to be cut for lumber and
the industry viii be so regulated that
there viii be permanent supply OF
timber available for it.
"While turpentining viii reduce the
grade Of few boards cut from that
part of the tree where the tapping oc-
ours, it does not hurt the tree for TIM
Der to any appreciable extent. 1t is
largely process of saving some
thing which is now going to waste and
the industry will add much to the
prosperity of the southwest"
Forest officers are very enthusiastic
about the possibility of turpentining
in Arizona and New Mexico and pre-
dict that in the not very distant flu
ture large industry will be estab-
lished here.

TURPENTINE INDUSTRY
in SOUTHWEST FORESTS

As a result of experiments conduct
ed by the forest service, u S. depart
ment of agriculture, it is believed that
western yellow pine which is the main
timber tree of the southwest, can now
be used as a new source Of turpentine
and accordingly the first sale for the
extraction of naval stores from south
western timber is being offered by
the government.
The timber for which the turpentine
privilege is to be sold is a tract of
$500 acres located on the Sitgreayes
national forest in central Arizona. II
is readily accessible to the Apache
railway which runs south from Hol-
brook.
The successful bidder for the priv
ilege viii be expected to operate for
seven years during which 10000 cups
viii be placed upon the trees to catch
the gum as it flows. Eighty thousand
cups are to be operated during the
first four year period and as many
more during the remainder of the
time At the end of the seven year
period the trees will be cut for lum-
Der.
Experiments with western yellow
pine show that the yield over like per-
iods is four-fifths that of Florida pine
The season in the southwest is, how
ever, somewhat shorter, so that the
total annual yield is about two-thirds
of that of southern pine. The proper
ton of rosin and turpentine in the
gum are approximately the same fol
the two regions.
There are great possibilities fol
the turrentine industry in the south
west" said District Forester Frank
