DEER DRIVE MUST
BE FINANCED BY
FLAGSTAFF MEN

Though plans for the deer drive
have not been abandoned by George
Mccormick, Coconino county cattle
man who has contracted to herd sew
eral thousand animals from the north
to the south rim of the Grand Canyon,
forest officials profess that they have
given up all faith in the enterprise.
In a telephone conversation between
State Game Warden G. M. Willard and
Forest Supervisor Miller of Flagstaff,
the latter stated that he was in con-
ference with Mccormick Monday, rela-
tive to plans for the drive. McCor-
mick has been given a permit from
the forest department with the under
standing that he give four days no
tice of the date of the opening of the
drive This information has not been
forthcoming as yet, but when ques-
toned on the matter by Miller, Nc
Cormick said that he thought he
would be in position to announce
the date Tuesday.
Miller further reported to Willard
that Mccormick is now circulating a
subscription list among the residents
of Flagstaff as a means of raising
funds to finance the drive. Until
such funds are raised, it was stated,
there is no hope that the drive can
be staged, as a considerable sum will
be required for Quitting and provis-
ioning the cowboys and Indians hired
to assist in the novel roundup.

Indians Get Hold
OF Good Ticker

Three husky Navajo Indians were
landed in the Apache county jail Tues
day, Deputy Sheriff Clifford Smith of
Chambers, having arrested them on
complaint of Billie Burke, who, be-
fore prohibition went into effect, own
ed and operated palatia1 saloon in
Winslow.
When prohibition compelled him to
go out of business, Burke took a car
load or two of high-grade booze in
bottles and barrels to his ranch at
Houck and slowed it away in his
cellar to be used by himself and
friends on state occasions.
Evidently some of it is left yet, as
the Indians are accused of breaking
into the cellar and swiping two cases
of the precious stuff which by this
time, should be about worth it's weight
in gold. So, no matter what punish
ment the Indians are given, short of
being hung, they'll be getting off
cheap.-St. Johns Observer.

First Reporter Was
Nahum, Says Minister

Nahum, whose glory lies in the bibli-
cal Book of Nahum, is the earliest
reporter of record history, declares
Rev. T. E. Elgin, pastor of the Bap-
fist church.
In Nahum's day a reporter was
called runner, and he functioned,
in limited way, something after the
manner of the radio broadcaster.
With his voice he did it. Since hui
man affairs begun, said Rev. Elgin,
the work of the reporter has been
to spread intelligent thought and
news
In the primitive day of Nahum, -
said Doctor Elgin, "if the runner, or
reporter, brought good news he was
given largess. If he came back ex-
hausted and brought bad news he
might be killed or badly beaten.
To-day the reporter gets similar
treatment; less barbarous and more
refined than of old, but much the
same. If he brings bad news he is
still the subject of censure''

ALL ROADS ARE NOW
MAPPED AND SIGNED
IN INDIAN COUNTRY

Word has been received by the
Winslow Mail from the Automobile
club of Southern California officials
that the work of linking the ruins of
the oldest civilization in the United
States with the National Old Trails
transcontinental motor route, map
villages in the remote regions of Ari-
IONA and New Mexico has been COM
pleted. These are scattered in spots
not difficult of access over some 500
miles of travel. A visit to these lit
tie explored sections is well worth
while, either to the student of ancient
man or the casual sightseers.
These last monuments of vanished
races are considered so important that
the national government has assumed
charge of all of them and designated
them as government property. While
visitors are forbidden to do any ex-
cavating or gather souvenirs except
by special permission from Washing
ton, every facility is afforded for
sightseeing.
The charting of these interesting
tourist attractions was done by the.
touring bureau of the Automobile club
of Southern California. Approximate
ly $500 miles were covered by the
trail blazers, including all the roads
throughout the reservations and the
famous prehistoric points of interest
such as Awatobi Ruins, Navajo Noun
tain Road, Chaco Canyon, Nava-Hopi
road from Grand Canyon to Cameron
Bridge, Canyon de Chiefly, Canyon Del
Muerte, Inscription Rock, Ice Caves
Zuni Pueblo, Enchanted Mesa and
Acoma village, all in northern Ari-
IONA and northwestern New Mexico.
Persons DESTROYS of visiting this
section should carry camping equip
ment and the car should be in first
class condition, as practically no
garage service is obtainable anywhere
in the Indian reservation. AccomO
dations may be obtained at Oraibi
Keams Canyon, Chin Lee, Kayenta,
Red Lake, Tuba City and Cameron
Bridge.
The most westward of these pre-
historic villages is the Awatobi ruins,
nine miles south of Keams Canyon,
VI d lILIlS ONCl tOO CctOC VI 1%Oo
Angeles, and only few hours drive
from Winslow, over well-kept roads
which takes you by the Painted desert
and other scenic spots unsurpassed
in any other section of the country.
The modern residents of this print
tive country are Hopi and Navajo
Indians. The principal Hopi villages
are Oraibi, Old Oraibi and Hotevilla,
situated north and east Of Winslow,
near the Oraibi mesa. Many of the
cliff dwellings, are in a fine state Of
preservation, some being only 60 feet
above the trail. Valuable discoveries
of prehistoric utensils have been
found and the government is acquir-
ing quantities of mummies, pottery,
jewelry, war clubs and cooking uten-
sis. These are being carefully as
sembled for national museum.
With the charting of the roads to
these formerly almost inaccessible
points of interest completed, it is be-
lieved that many transcontinental
tourists will avail themselves of the
opportunity of visiting this ancient
wonderland, should they tour on the
National Old Trails highway.

Fifty Cottages To Be Built
At Mormon Lake In Spring

Plans are laid for an additional
summer village at Mormon lake, to
be built and conducted by M. D.
Tombler of Casa Grande, who was in
Flagstaff last week making arrange
ments about lumber and other details.
Mr.. Tombler has bought the w. G.
Smith ranch, couple of miles below
Montezuma lodge on the west shore
of Mormon lake. He intends putting
up at least so cottages in the early
spring, as well as a community build
ing, in which one of the features will
be a dance hall.
With the rapidly increasing popu-
larity of Mormon Lake, the largest
body of water in Arizona, within a
very few years it most surely will be
one of the biggest summer resorts in
the west It's natural advantages are
rpassed-wonderfu cool summer
climate, the finest water, the great
pine forest surrounding filled with
large and small game, and the SUI
perior fishing, swimming and boating
offered in the big lake itself, make it
ideal for the purpOse.-Coconlno Sun.

KANSAS CITY STOCK
YARD REPORT
December 1, 1924
By CEIAS. M. PIPKIN
Correspondent

Cattle receipts were above normal
for this season of the year and the
liberal run gave the general market
a weaker turn. Chicago had heavy
run of short fed cattle, and big sup
ply of prime cattle for the show sale
Here the run was about evenly divided
between cattle suitable for killing pur-
poses and stockers and feeders. Hog
prices ruled strong to Is cents above
the slight advance, gained last week
and the offerings cleared readily.
Lambs were strong to higher.
Receipts today were $4,000 cattle,
5000 hogs, and $500 sheep, compared
with 10000 cattle, 10000 hogs, and
1000 sheep a week ago, and 1860
cattle, 400 hogs, and $500 sheep a
year ago.
Most of the steers available for
killing purposes were short fed and
warmed up classes, the kinds that
have been slow for some time past.
They were quoted steady to Is cents
lower and in the lowest position of
the season. The few steers that show
ed any material amount of feed or had
outstanding quality were steady. Chi
cago had liberal supplies and the
whole movement indicates that coun-
trymen are anxious to be rid of a
long time feed bill. The heavy runs
show that the per cent of cattle COM
ing to market after a short feed are
relatively too large in proportion to
the numbers taken out for feeding
purposes. The general weakness in
the market will probably check the
runs later this week. Cows and
heifers were steady to Is cents low
err, most of the decline being in the
medium grades. Veal calves were
steady.
Receipts of thin cattle were liberal
