CHENEY FAMILY
IN CHAUTAUQUA
final PROGRAM

The closing numbers OF the chautau-
qua for the year 1924 were given Sa-
turday at the Washington school
where all the programs have been
given.
The performances were the Cheney
Concert Co. which has appeared on
many of the platforms of the country
from coast to coast There are four
members of the troup, three mem
bers of the Cheney family and a Mr.
Johnson, pianist
The afternoon program was brief
but that of the evening was more eX
tensive. The afternoon program was
shortened somewhat because of the
affairs preceding the musical stunts
the junior chautauqua having the
first hour of the AFTERNOON.
The young folks marched through
the city garbed largely in original
costumes and made a variegated dis
play in colors and types. On going to
the school assembly room, they were
marched past the judges, Rev. Martin
Miss Towslee and John Larison, who
after inspecting the marching column
several times decided that little Rob
ert Carter, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Carter, taking the part OF Charles
Chaplin and Miss Marcel Pincetl
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. R. NJ Pincetl
in a catchy costume as the rose girl
took the first places in the boys and
girls columns. There were othe,
good costumes in both the boys and
girls ranks and especially the latter
rendering it difficult for the judge
to make decision. First ribbons only
were given for the costumes.
In the Cheney concerts, Miss Che
ney, the older of the two sisters, made
her usual hit as comedian as well
as reader and musician of ability
The comedy the young lady puts on
in addition, to her musical work, ap
pears so spontaneous as to make
decided hit with the audience.

LOCAL MAN HAS TRADING
POST AT NAVAJO MOUNTAIN

Due to the opening of a new trading
post by Hubert Richardson of this
city at Navajo mountain, the distance
from Winslow to the Rainbow Natural
bridge has been cut both in mileage
and time. In point of time the bridge
has been brought two weeks closer to
this city
Not only is the elimination of time
due to the establishment of a post but
1t is also due to the laying out and
working of new route from Flagstaff
to this great natural bridge formation.
1t is possible now for people to get
to the Rainbow bridge from Flagstaff
and back again in three days, per-
hap5 in two days. 1t formerly took
two weeks owing to the necessity for
long trip by pack trail Now the
pack is but Is miles-from the post
to the bridge. Formerly the route
taken was that via Kayenta and so
much of this was necessarily taken
horseback that the time for the trip
was greatly heightened
The present method of making the
trip is to go from Flagstaff through
Cameron across the Little Colorado
River bridge there, thence to Red
Lake. Four miles above Red Lake
tourists leave the Kayenta road and
strike out straight for the Navajo
mountain.
The Richardson trading post is 55
miles from Red Lake and the Rain
bow bridge is Is miles from the post.
Mr.. Richardson, Mr.. Arm, Ed Ford,
and Jim Walkup of Flagstaff went
out to the post nearly three weeks
ago. Richardson, Ford and Walkup
came back early last week. They re-
port that the road, all except few
miles, is good and the part that isn't
so good is easy to get over.
Comprehensive road signs are being
prepared and will inform tourists of
the road directions, where water can
be had, etc 1t is reported water is
plentiful and owing to the altitude
the trip is comfortable even during
the hot season. The warmest spot

SANTA FE PROCEEDS
WITH new ICING DOCK

Work is progressing on the new
loading docks at the Santa Fe ice
plant in the western part of the city.
This is only a part of the plans of
the company. the entire plans being
to build an entirely new ice plant,
that is for the manufacturing end of
the business, as we'll as the new docks.
Right now the icing business is quit
owing ito the lack of fruit and vege-
table business from the California
country, and the manufacture of ice is
at low ebb with the storage plants
full of the cOngested fluid.
Concrete bases for the support of
concrete piers to hold the great icing
platform are now being laid by work
men. The neW platform is to be 1000
feet long and will ice "a cars at one
time. This platform one-third of a
mile long is to replace the present
one of 500 feet.
The plans, it is understood, though
no contracts have yet been awarded
for the work, will call for a new ice
plant to produce 220 tons of ice per
day. The present plant produces 140
tons. 1t is understood the present
ice-making plant is to be junked when
the new one is finished but the present
storage house will be used in connec-
ton with the new plant.
1t is indicated that the appropri-
alton for the work will amount to
approximately $BOO,OOO 1T is said that
it will cost $500 to remove the pile
of rock north of the present ice
storage plant to make way for the
new factory.
Nothing official has been given out
relative to the contracts but it is
hoped to have the contracts awarded
for the new structures by about July Z

the free-listing of such products.
AS a revenue producer the Repub-
lican tariff law is giving an excel
lent account of itself, as the figures
quoted show. The highest revenue
from customs recorded during the
operation of the Democratic tariff
law was in 1920 when on $5,27S, 900
600 worth of imports $331,O00, 900
was paid into the Federal Treasury.
The huge influx of imports for that
year made it imperative to pass the
so-called Emergency Tariff Law,
which, vetoed by President Wilson,
was signed by President Harding
May 81, 1921. In 1920 we imported
$1,S16, 000, 900 worth of foodstuffs,
crude and manufactured. These i'm
ports totaled $S59,OOO,O00 in 1928
and about the same for 1924, includ-
ing large volumes of coffee, tea,
cocoa, bananas, coconut products,
and other non-competing goods. In
ports of finished manufactures total
ed $639, 200, 900 in 1922, the last
year of the Democratic tariff, S717,-
100000 in 1923, and $3.50, 0OO. 900
(estimated) for the fiscal year ended
June 30th.
The Republican law is neither pro
h%ibitiye, nor ~unreasonably high, and
it gives the farmer the best protec-
ton he has ever had in any tariff
law.

Pan American Road
Organization Seen
AS Result of Tour

WASHINGTON, D. c., JULY IS
With q complete picture of high way
transport conditions in the United
States as a background for their
action, delegates to the Pan Ameri-
can Highway Commission are sail
ing for their respective countries this
week after organizing the Pan Amer
lean Confederation for Highway Ed
ucation, and formulating a tenta-
tive program for the first Pan Amer
lean Highway Congress to be held
in Buenos Aires next spring.
In each of the nineteen Latin
American nations represented on the
tour will be formed a Federation
Nacional de Education VIAL" a body
patterned after the Highway Educa-
tion Board of the United States. the
parent organization. These FEEDER
acions" are united in the Pan Amer
lean Confederation for Highway Ed
ucatiOn. In the opinion OF those
participating in Its organization
there is thus formed an international
organization destined to have a far
reaching effect upon transportation
facilities OF the American continent.
and a foundation upon which the
structure of continued friendly reia-
tions can be ever more firmly es-
tablished.
The organization of the C%onfeder-
alton was the final official act OF the
delegates. who previously had sub
mitted to DR.. Leo S. Rowe, Director
General OF the Pan American Union,
a tentative program for the first Pan
American Highway Congress-. DR..
of the U. 8. Bureau of Public Roads
J. Walter Drake, Assistant Secretary
Rowe, Thomas H. Macdonald. Chief
of the Department of Commerce. and
other high government officials ex-
press the opinion that the entire
trip OF the Commission has resulted
in a great stimulus to highway
transport activities. both in this
country and in those represented by
delegates.
The commission closed Its work in
this country with a series of con-
f%erences in Washington, after trav-
cling more than 1000 miles in ten
states. inspecting tho highways Of
North Carolina, Kentucky. Illinois.
Minnesota. Wisconsin,, Ohio. New
York. Pennsylvania. and New Jersey.

Fully half Of the mileage covered
was by automobile or motor bus.

Fully half of the mileage covered
was by automobile Or motor bus
whlle Inc tour itself was marked by
expressions Of the most cordial senti
ments. by officials and the public al
large for the Latin American nations
represented. The tour was under
the auspices of the Highway Educa-
tion board, of which DR.. j. j. Tigert,
United States Commissioner of Ed
ucation, is chairman. 1t lasted 81
days.
Fifty-fve persons comprised the
official party, thirty-seven of them
being representatives Of nineteen
Latin American nations. Under a
committee on arrangements consist
ing of Roy D.. Chaplin, chairman, F.
l. Kent and w. A. Beatty, the di-
rection OF the trip was given to S.
T. Henry, of New York, who has had
much experience in Latin American
affairs, and who also has wide bust
ness and personal contacts in this
country.
Delegates showed perhaps the
k e g n e s e e t in the
construction of low type roads,
such as gravel and sand clay, but
they also were given an opportunity
to witness the actual construction of
h~ard-surfaced highways, such as con-
crete and asphalt. 1t was held by
the visitors however, that the i'm
mediate demands of their respective
countries Are for serviceable roads,
which can be brought to a higher
state of development later as traffic
demands increase.
Not only were the Latin Ameri-
cans shown all phases of highway
transport and the several types of
highway construction, but leading
educational institutions of the coun-
try were visited So they might see
the preparations being made to train
men Of the highest calibre to ad-
minister highway affairs OF this
country.
In the large factories of Michigan
Ohio, Illinois and elsewhere they
glimpsed the manufacture of the
automotive vehicle, rubber tires,
machinery and accessories during the
latter portion of the tour, thus COM
pleting the highway transport pic
ture of this nation. The close study
was given to the economic aspects
of highway transportation, especially
with reference to the development of
rural communities.
The purpose of the Pan American
Confederation for Highway Educa-
tiCn, according to the constitution of
this organization, is 1.-The study and
PRONUNCIATION in the different coun-
tries constituting the Pan American
Union of fundamental principles that
contribute to the development of ad-
equate highways" and with the
achievements of the United States as
an example, each OF the delegates,
according to formal expressions, re-
turns to his native country to further
that object.

with local authorities furnishing an
additional $4,000.
To complete the Wind River High
way to a point about four miles
west of Moran the sun of $54,963
has been allotted. For maintenance
of forest roads in Wyoming the For

Lowest Bid on Post
Office Work was by
Denver, Colo. Firm

Among the bids, for the painting
and repairing of the post office build
ing in Rawlins. which were public
ly opened on Friday morning, those
submitted by Curry Brothers Wall
Paper Co. were considerably lower
than tn ebids offered by other firms.
The contract will probably be award
ed to the Curry Brothers Co. within
the next few days and the job will
be completed within three or four
weeks.
Curry Brothers Co. has been in
this kind of work for seventeen years
and they have worked many years
on the post office painting and re-
pair work. until now they are expert
along this line and can figure the
job very closely. The firm has just

in operation nine months, we i'm
ported $1,S94, 100000 worth of
goods which paid a little over S292.-
100000 in customs revenues, or an
average ad valorem rate of duty on
all imports of 1912 per cent. This
is one answe to Democratic conten
ton that the present Republican tar
if is Internationally high. and it is
an official answer.
The average rate of duty on duti-
able goods only for the fiscal wear
1914 was 3S.12. That is to saw.
$766,423,000 worth of dutiable
goods paid the customs revenues
above mentioned. The classification
of imports for the fiscal year ended
June 80 last had o been completed
at the time this article was written
but during the 10 months period
ended April 30th, last, $1,279,OOO,-
600 worth of imported dutiable
goods paid $457,141,O0O of customs
duties, or an average rate OF duty
on these dutiable goods of 1874 per
cent. This is another answer to the
Democratic charge OF an exhorbitant
Republican tariff. We thus see that
on dutiable and on all imports he
Republican tariff was a trihe lower
than the Democratic law framed in
1913, during the first years opera
ton of that law.
During the fiscal year 1923, with
the Republican law in operation for
about nine months, we imported So
ISL 900 worth of goods which
paid $500 900 900 in customs duties.
This gave an average ad valorem on
all imports of 14.9, while on dutiable
goods alone the average rate vas
34.S per cent. Here again, the Re-
publican law in it's first year of oper-
alton vas lower than the Democratic
law. In the matter of free goods,
the Democratic law in its first year
gave passes to 59.5 per cent of our
total imports, while the Republican
law for it's two years has stuck to
about 81 per cent. The difference
is not great enough to call for a
change of party. And it is to be
borne in mind that included in this
Democratic free list we're the farm
products of the northern agricultural
states. Indicative of their intention
to restore these farm products to the
free list. should they again be placed
in control of the Government, is the
fact that a number of bills were in
troduced by leading Democrats in the
last session of Congress calling for
