Engineers Auxiliary Ball
A Very Enjoyable Affair
One GRAND and glorious time!

One grand and glorious time!
Everyone who attended the valen-
tine dance given during the latter
part of last week by the G. |. A.
to the B. of l.. E. had one grand
and glorious time. Even on the
morn after the night before, the re-
velers, who were not little fatlgued
after the big frolic, would have gone
to the second G. l. A. dance if there
had been another, so enthusiastic
were they about the time they had
"last night.
And no wonder that they had a
wonderful evening, the G. |. A. ladies'
set out to put something big across
and to say that they did so and then
some is superfluous. This years
annual valentine ball was much
better than any that the ladies have
given heretofore, and this is no dis
credit to those that they have given
in former years. The ball last week
was simply so good that it was in
a class by itself.
Matthew's five piece orchestra,
composed of artists of syncopation
and melody, furnished the music for
the revelers, and oh, Viola, how they
did revel when that orchestra struck
upl The Pastime hall was beautifully
decorated in keeping with the valen-
tine spirit. Comic valentines adorned
the walls; and hearts, streamers and
festoons in the four colors of the
order, blue, purple, red and white,
were hung about the hall.

COCON|NO co. WILL Hold
ELECTION TOSU% $6O,OOO
ON PADRE WINSLOW ROAD

Coconino county board of supervisors
will call a special election to place
before the taxpayers the question of
diverting to the Canyon Padre-Win-
slow section of the Old Trails high
way the 100000 in road bond money,
tied up in a federal aid road pro-
position which, was denied, according
to an announcement made last week
by r. E. Taylor of the board.
This action is in line with the re
commentator made in Flagstaff by
B. M. Atwood, assistant state engi-
neer for the northern district. Mr.,
Atwood said if prompt action is
Forthcoming, and the 100000 of
county bond money now tied up is
by election directed to be placed on
the Flagstaff -Winslow highway, suf-
ficient money will be given by the
state highway department and fed
eral aid obtained to make available
100000 for building the road bet
ween Canyon Padre and Winslow.
With the section from Flagstaff
to Canyon Padre to be built this
spring and summer by the U. S.
bureau of public roads, the outlook
is most encouraging for a good high
way between here and the flag city.
The 100000 in road bond money
was voted in a bond election four
years ago for federal aid roads west
and southwest of Flagstaff, and an
election is required to release it for
the Canyon Padre Winslow project.
1t will take nearly sixty days after
the Coconino county board of super
visors call the special election to ad-
vertise and hold it.

Winslow now has a Game Protect
i've Association.
A local chapter of the Arizona
Game Protective Association was or
ganized on Monday evening at a
meeting called in the City Hall for
that purpose. ]. s. Roth, who has
been making an effort to organize
a club here for some time, was
elected president, and Herman L..
Sughrue, secretary and treasurer
A large number of enthusiastic
sportsmen attended the meeting and
enrolled in the organization. The
spirit shown toward the association
was highly favorable, and the offic-
ers expect that membership of $50
or more can be obtained here within
a short time. The charter members
of the association will solicit among
the sportsmen in this community,
practically all of whom have signi-
fled their desire to become affiliated
with the organization. Judging from
the attitude taken by the local sports
men, it is certain that the associa-
ton will have a rapid and permanent.
growth and that it will be of great
value in protecting game and in OBJ
tanning quail and fish for stocking
purposes.
Although the local chapter has not
formulated a complete program, one
of the measures which it will at
tempt to obtain through legislation
is a game reserve extending for three
miles on both side of the little Colo
RADIO river from Holbrook through
Winslow to the Coconino county line.
The bard of supervisors took action
to make reserve of this area, but
it was found that the question of
making a reserve of it rested with
the state legislature and not with
the supervisors. The local game as
sociation will axe an effort to have
the legislature set the area aside as
a reserve.
It is said that sportsmen and inter
ested people in Holbrook are also
planning to organize an association
there. With the formation of these
local branches it is certain that ade
quate protection will be provided
game and fish and that the state
warden will stock this territory.
Anyone desiring to become affiliated
with the local association is requested
to see j. S. Roth or Herman L..
Sughrue.
The platform of the Winslow
Game Protective Association follows:
The object of the organization is to
conserve the game, fish and wild
life of Arizona. 1t stands for:
Enforcement of the game and fish
laws.
Federal control of migratory birds
and the prohibition of spring shoot
ing.
Cooperation with stosknen and the
Biological survey in campaigns
against predatory animals.
Adequate system of game refugees
and fish hatcheries.
Increase in game and fish 20 pro-
vide legitimate sport for every
citizen.
Cooperation with the American
Game Protective and propagation
association TO secure pubic owner
ship and development of wildfowl
breeding grounds.
partisan game commission,
with broad regulatory powers, auth
orized TO employ an expert state
game warden at an adequate .,aiary.
Cooperation with every game

Early Bird EmuIators

The desire to conquer the air and
emulate the birds is no modern
fancy. but has agitated the minds
of men mechanically inclined for
ages. Records of meeting of the
Royal society. held in London. Eng
land, in 1879. give the information
that mir. Hooke read a paper con-
tanning a description Of the way of
flying. invented and practiccd by
one Monsignor Besnier. a smith. the
contrivance of which consisted in
ordering four wings folding \and
shutting to he moved nv his hands
before and his legs behind. by which
he was, it was said. able to fly from
q high place across a river to a
pretty distance" One OF the mem
hers of the Royal society apparently
cast some doubts upon the practic-
ability of the invention. "Mr.
Henshawe conceived that by reason
of the weakness of a mans arms for
such kind Of motions, it would be
much more probable to make a
chariot or such like machine with
springs and wheels. that should
serve to carry one or more men in It
to act and guide It."

Buying Rush Is
Indicative of New
Faith in Business

New York. Nov. 9-(By A. P.)-
With tho securities markets, partic-
ularly for railroad shares, respond
ing strongly to the termination of
election uncertainties, emphasis was
laid in financial and business circles
last week on the improved outlook
for business expansion. Bankers
pointed out that, quite aside from
political considerations, business men
now know just where they stand.
Manv who have deferred action un-
til the situation could be clarified
were now reported to be in a mood
to go ahead with their plans.
The probable effect of this conf
dence was considered the more i'm
portant because of the favorable ma
ture of fundamental economic fac
tors. Some apprehension still is en-
tertained as to the ultimate effect of
competition from a restored Europe.
On the other hand, some of the best
posted observers pointed out that
better markets were being created in
both Europe and United States ag-
ricultural districts, that industry was
improving, that trade was active and
that money was cheap. These factors,
they held, made the outlook encour-
aging. The position of the country's
railroads was considered especially
favorable. This was due to the great
strength shown by the securities of
the railroad companies, to the excel
lent earning reports recently made
public and to the high level of car
ioadings. No less than LIE, 900 cars
were loaded with revenue freight in
the week ended October %, this per-
formance setting a new high record
Tor all time. 1t was generally agreed
in financial quarters that the cleo
ton was favorable to the carriers.
The new congress. it was held.
would contain less OF the element
hostile to the roads. while President
Coolidge's stand in favor Of the
transportation act and supervision
by the interstate commerce commits
sion was considered to offer an add
ed measure of protection. Mean
while the roads are thought to have
an excellent opportunity for COM
pleting the program of physical and
financial rehabilitation on which
they have made marked progress
during the last three years. At the
same time they are believed to be
recovering the credit position that
they enjoyed before the war.

self felt in the returns from indus
try, the latest reports are reasonably

up well.
The autumn gains in production
nave been maintained and buyinx
has been somewhat improved. Pig
iron production rose again in Octo-
Der. Grain prices rallied sharply aft
er the election, some new highs for
the year being realized. The rally
was ascribed to short covering, for.
eign buying and fresh speculation on
the long side.

the cotton crop lifted the estimate
to LZ.S16.OO0 bales, which Is approx.

Enormous Loss
From Forest Fires
In New York State

Albany. n. r, Nov. 9-More than
Is, 900 acres of timberland and wood
land throughout New York state to-
night were burnt and blackened at
ter nearly month of forest fires IN
various sections of the state and with
three major fires still burning. The
conservation commission tonight said
it could not even begin to estimate
the money loss, although it is known
to reach hundreds of thousands OF
dollars.
Fires were burning tonight on Storm
King Mountain, near Newbursh, ana
on Wheeler Mountain, near Cropsey-
willie and near Taborton, both in
Rensselaer,. Fire wardens, conserva-
ton agents, state troopers. farmers
and volunteers were combating the
Wheeler Mountain blaze. which since
o'clock Friday afternoon has burn
three miles wide, and tonight was
| burning apparently undated. The
Taborton fire, which broke out this
afternoon, tonight was considered be-
yond control and threatening tim
berland. brushland and several farm
I houses.
Light rains or SHOWS succeeded in
extinguishing other fires throughout
the state over the weekend. Reports
from Nyack indicated that the fire
on Dunderberg Mountain, which has
occupied the attention OF fighting
forces for several days, tonight was
only smouldering and well under
control. Other fires in the lower
Hudson Valley, from West Point to
the New Jersey border. also were I'M
der control or eXtinguished. The
Dunderberg Mountain fire alone.
| which really was a series of blazes,
was estimated to have burned over
10 square miles of cumberland, wood
land and brush. The fires have oc-
! cupied the attention of more than
1000 men for the past nine days
| Chief Fire Warden L. {. Roberts. of
| Worthwhile. in charge of fire preven-
| ton work in the F'ulton-Hamilton
County district, said tonight it was
estimated more than 1000 acres. most
| second growth timber. were DESTROYED
in the section under his jurisdiction.
| In the northern Adirondacks the
situation was considered as stin criti-
cal although the fires in the Oregon
and Pharoah Lake sections, the North
ern part of Warren County and the
Parishville section of st. Lawrence
County, were blackened. 1t was said
the showers of Friday night were too
light to be of much use and only a pro-
| longed rain or snow would relieve the
necessity of constant patrolling. No
estimate could be made of the area

Heavy rains eXtinguished slight for

and no new fires were reported today.

Radio Barred In Russia
