BUCKS CONSPICUOUS BY
ABSENCE IN FLAGSTAFF

Unprecedented slaughter of deer on
the first day of October, opening of
the season, threatened by Coconino
county hunters, failed to materialize
at least no tangible evidence of the
massacre had reached Flagstaff late
Thursday evening. Various rumors Of
local men getting their buck were
afloat in Flagstaff, Thursday, but the
nearest approach to that achievement
was the report that Charles H. Corey
killed buck near his Fort Valley
ranch on Wednesday. This could not
be verified, however, up to going to
press.
Although more than a score of well
known crack shots, who get their
buck early when the getting is good,
left Flagstaff, Tuesday night or early
Wednesday morning, no buck has APP
peared upon Flagstaff's horizon. 1t
is the opinion of many seasoned hunt
ers that the deer are ranging in the
higher country this season, only few
rather aged does being sighted re-
Gently in the lower attitudes.
No use listing those who went hunt
ing. Everybody most did who had
guns to shoot with.

SEE ARIZONA FIRST Is
NOW TO MEAN SOMETHING

Following the remarkable success
Of the "See Arizona First" movement
this year, even greater results may
be expected from the campaign next
summer, due to highway construction
now under way connecting the north
ern and southern parts of the state, IL
the opinion of representative OF the
Arizona Industrial congress who re.
Gently made brief trip through
north-central Arizona.
All through northern Arizona bust
ness men reported that the unusually
large number of Arizona tourists this
season was large factor in main
tanning tourist traffic, for transcon-
tinental travel showed material de-
crease under quarantine conditions In
California during the spring and early
summer. Indeed, it was generally adj
mitted that tourist business would
have been at least one-thlrd less had
it not been for the See Arizona First
slogan which, brought in hundreds OF
people from southern Arizona to
spend their vacation in seeing the won
ders of their homeland.
Better road conditions next year are
expected to make the "Spend Your
Vacation in Arizona" campaign even
more effective next year. Completion
of the "White Spar" road in Yavapai
county and connecting links in Mari
copa county will give first-class
highway from all sections of southern
Arizona to the northland, for the Ash
fork Prescott highway is already one
of the best in the west. Reconstruc-
tion of the Flagstaff -Winslow road
will put the Old Trails highway across
northern Arizona in excellent shape
Completion of the Rice-Springervllle
road will open up the wonderful White
Mountain country to the south, Aano
make possible an unexcelled loop
trip from east to west. Gila county's
excellent reads already provide easy
access to the Pine, Payson and the
Natural Bridge region, and the Il
miles or so from there north to Wins
low, by way of pretty Long valley, il
fair. And last but not least, an I'M
proved highway from the Old Trails
route to the Grand canyon is now as
sured.
In every community visited the In
dustrial congress representative founo
prices decidedly reasonable, consider
ing the long distances over which
many supplies must be brought. The
extremely large number of cars passed
in view of the comparative lateness Of
the season, was particularly note
worthy, and large proportion o.
them were from Arizona.

State Oil Inspector Addresses GIenwoot
Audience on Great Oil Possibilities
Within Our Reach
SHOULD ENCOURAGE THE LINE

At the Orpheum theater Tuesday eve
ming James Duce, state oil inspector
and for many years a resident Of Gar
field county, gave an address on the
general oil situation and especially
dwelt upon the outlook in Western Col
orado, including the new Craig field,
the Rangely field and the prospect of
a successful field in Garfield county.
Mr.. Duce is anxious that our people
shall encourage and not oppose any le-
gitimate development that may come
this way.
The meeting had been arranged by
the Lions club, and although there was
but little advance announcement of
his coming, Mr.. Duce was greeted with
a good audience.
Judge Noonan introduced the speaker
after Mr.. Weirick had exhibited a reel
of very fine pictures showing the vari-
Gus steps employed in drilling an oil
well.
MIR. Duce said that although within
gunshot of perhaps one of the greatest
potential oil fields in the world ws are
practically doing nothing to develop
this great industry which today is
commanding the attention of the world.
Referring to the bugaboo of over pro-
duction the speaker surprised his hear.
ers by quoting figures to show the
ve.y small production of the oil pro.
ducts used in this country which are
produced here. The fact is that the
average citizen has but faint concep-
tion of the vast quantities of oil and
gasoline used annually in this country
in the operation of our various indus.
tries.
Mr.. Duce referred to a govern ment
commission, appointed by the secretary
of the navy, which came to Colorado
to investigate the oil possibilities of
this section. Their report has gone in,
or will soon be made, and Mr.. Duce
believes it will be very complimentary
to our field.
Big oil companies from all over the
United States and also from foreign
countries are looking to Colorado as a
heavy producing field in the near fu.
ture.

Co. COMMISSIONERS
IN MONTHLY MEET

The regular monthly session Of the
Garfield county commissioners was held
the first three days of this week, the
business consisting principally of the
allowance of claims against the county.
On Tuesday the board was visited
by delegation from Carbondale with
a request that the county road between
Carbondale and the bridge at Farmers
Spur be changed 30 as to keep it on the
lower side of the D. g. R. G.. track all
the way, thus avoiding two railroad
crossings. This would give the people
more direct and safer road by way
of cutting out the curves and crossings.
The commissioners agreed that this
change is needed, as the proposed line
is the logical place for the road. They
appointed viewer to go over the road
and make report, but because Of the
condition Of the finances mo immediate
relief can be given.

Discuss Many Matters Of
Interest Including Building
Permit Applications
WATER SYSTEM AGAIN

The city council met last Monday
evening in regular monthly session, all
members being present, including AL
derman Bell who sat with the board
for the first time since his appoint.
ment to fill the vacancy occasioned by
the death of the late Alderman Switzer.
After numerous reports had been
presented and disposed of, Andy Muir
dock verbally supplemented his written
application for permit to build barn
on couple Of lots which he has rented
on Palmer avenue. 1nasmuch as some
protest against his contemplated action
had been made by residents in that
neighborhood, Mr.. Murdock did not
find it easy to convince the board that
the permit should be granted. The
matter, however, was referred to the
building committee, and it is probable
that their recommendation will be
final.
In this connection, the complaint
made last year against Ned Robinson,
charged by neighbors with maintaining
nuisance in the way of stable and
