building on behalf of the people of
Flagstaff and assured the ladies that
their effort was fully appreciated and
would make an epoch in the social his
tory Of the town. In her address on
seThe Purposes of Woman's clubs
Mrs. T. ri. Cureton of Williams, pres
ident of the state federation, brought
out many interesting points. She said
in part:
"The strongest in woman is the
home instinct. 1t matters not how
educated woman may be, how ser
ious-minded and independent, how
militant or how frivolous, always
there exists in her innermost heart a
longing for retreat which she may
call her very own. Few women there
are who have not, hidden away among
their most treasured treasures, plans
and drawings of home which they
sometimes hope to build. AS this is
true of the Individual woman, so it is
true of a body of women banded to-
gether in club. One of the first
things that club considers after it
is we'll organized is a club home, and
there is not single club in the state
that does not some day hope to have
a club building. AS / talked with you
this evening | was impressed with the
JOY of ownership. AS / look about |
am touched by the evidence of love
and care which you have bestowed in
making this home inviting and at
tractive and ! want to join with you
in the spirit of spride of possession. 7
This club house and its furnishings
represents sacrifice, self-denial, patti
ence and labor, and it promises much
comfort and satisfaction for the fu-
ture.
"Such is the home-loving spirit
amongst Arizona club women that
fourteen clubs haye club homes or are
in process of building. 1t has been
my good privilege to have visited ev-
cry club house in the state and | have
found that wherever there is a club
house there is more opportunity for
community spirit"
Mrs. Walter Olds of Winslow, pres
ident of the Northern Arizona district
federation, brought greetings in few
words from the other clubs of the dis
trict.
E. G. Miller, supervisor Coconino
national forest, thanked the ladies for
their forethought in providing a n1u-
scum room in the building where art
icles bearing on the past history Of
this section might be collected and
preserved for future generations.
The music department of the Nor
NAL rendered several excellent selec-
tions and Miss Martha E. Dewey gave
splendid reading which completed
a very interesting program.
The ladies after the program served
delicious sandwiches, cake and coffee
while Miss Lightburne's juvenile or
chestra played a number of select
ions.

RAILROADS WOULD
DELAY RAIL RATE CUT

AS the time draws near for the new
passenger rates in Arizona, the activ-
tiles of the railroads towards OBJ
tanning a rehearing in order to stave
off the lower schedules, have been re-
doubled. 1t was pointed out by Amos
A. Belts, chairman of the state cor
poration commission in telegram
that unless the new rates are applied
on February 25, the date specified by
the original order of the interstate
commerce commission, long delay
may be expected before any reductions
are realized by Arizonans.
"The reduced passenger rates." said
Mr.. Belts, "will mean a saving to
Arizona of approximately $2,000,000
annually. The railroads have applied
to the interstate commerce commits
sion for a rehearing. We have labored
under unjust and oppressive and dis
eliminating railroad rates heretofore,
would be equivalent to robbery. If
the railroads application for re-
hearing is granted adjustment will be
long delayed, and might be defeated.
"The interstate commerce conlmis4
sion, while seeking to do justice to
all concerned, is not unmindful of the
wishes of the people affected in ruI-
ing. In these circumstances it is ur-
gent that kilograms from every per-
son interested be sent to the inter
state commerce commission within the
next three days, preferably at once,
protesting in the most vigorous lang
uage it is possible to phrase against
granting this application.
"SimiIar kilograms should be sent
to Representative Carl Hayden and
Senators Ashurst and Cameron, for
they should be deeply concerned about
this matter and anxious to help cast
the burden of discrimination from
their state. These kilograms are not
to seek to influence the commission in
any way in taking what its members
consider a just course, but they should
express in terms no one can misun-
derstand the temper of our people in
this matter, and make it very plain
that we know we are entitled to the
lower rates, granted after years of
work.
'The commissioners at Washington
should be made to realize that the
people of Arizona are conscious that
the future development and prosperity
of the state are hanging in the bal
ance, that they want square deal in
freight rates, and are determined to
let no effort be neglected in trying to
attain it"

ARIZONA SHEEPMEN GATHER
STOCK AT PHOENIX YARDS

Arizona sheepmen, represented by
President A. A. Johns Of the Wool
Growers association, have expressed
favor for the plan of assembling bulk
of the states wool crop in Phoenix,
near which city most of the shearing
is done.
From the local storage it is propos-
ed to make shipments mainly to Los
Angeles harbor, for shipment east by
water, at saving of 81 per 100 lbs.
At the association meeting dec
laration was made that the Salt River
valley had become the sheep feeding
section Of the state, for the fattening
of lambs and the conditioning of old
ewes for the market.
James McNaughton of the Union
stockyards of Los Angeles presented
the needs of the city for meat from
ing worked out for establishment of
feed yards, near the city, where poor
er stock would be put in condition for
the block, while the fat stock could
be sent on for sale.
This plan, he said, would avoid over
stocking the market and would allow
a space of time for holding for i'm
provement of the market.
With a good market for wool and
a prospect for keen demand of the
lamb crop, financial conditions in the
southwest sheep industry are consid-
cred much better than for years past.
Assurances of all needful support
have been received by the growers
from Arizona and Los Angeles bank
ing institutions.

gist, says Of the proposal to build a
bridge at Vulcan Throne:
'sThe walls of the Grand Canyon are
very steep and high at this locality.
The cliffs of limestone and sandstone
are nearly 1000 feet high, surmount-
ing steep slope of shale. The con-
struction of road down these cliffs
would be very expensive"
Secretary Interior Work Favors
Lees Ferry Bridge
Under date January. Is, 1924, HUI
bert Work, secretary of the interior,
wrote Homer P. Snyder, chairman
committee on Indian affairs, house of
representatives, regarding the pro-
posed bridge at Lees Ferry:
"The matter of construction has
been under consideration for some
time and thorough Investigations have
been made Of all its phases by repre-
sentatives of the Indian service and
by Col. Herbert Deakyne, corps of
engineers, u. S. army.
Z ''The cost of the construction has
been placed at approximately $780,
600, and the local representative of
the Indian service has recommended
that that service bear half of the cost,
which would seem to be an equitable
division thereof. The bridge will con
meet the Western Navajo Indian res
ervation with. the public domain on
the west of the Colorado river, and
will furnish an important and perma-
nent outlet for the Indians of that res
ervation, facilitating their commune
cation with the whites and assisting
them in their progress toward more
advanced civilization. The benefit
which will accrue to the white persons
residing in that vicinity and to the
general travelling public will be great
and will probably be equal to the
benefit which will be derived by the
Indians. This bridge will make at all
times the only possible north and
south route between Salt Lake railway
on the west and the north road from
Gallup, N. M, on the east. An inn
mense country lies between this rail-
way and the town of Gallup, and the
proposed bridge will be an absolute
necessity to the proper development
of that section.
'In view of the fact that the Indians
of the Western Navajo reservation
will derive great benefit from the
erection of the bridge, estimated to
be equal to the benefit to be derived
by the white settlers, it would appear
reasonable that the 100000 which
it is proposed to appropriate from
public funds for the payment of half
the cost of construction be made re-
imbursable to the United States from
any funds now or hereafter placed to
the credit Of such Indians

Tucson is to have part of the an
nual summer school sessions. of the
University of Arizona for the coming
summer. Twelve weeks classes, start
ing June 9, will be held at both Tue
son and Flagstaff. Sessions in the
past have been held at Bisbee and
Flagstaff, but no session will be held
at Bisbee this year.
Most of the work will be done al
Flagstaff, where advanced courses in
education will be the chief work ac-
complished. A new ruling for this
year makes the course of the Univer-
sity of Arizona distinct among insti-
tutions of this kind. It will be pos
sible to secure twelve units during the
period and three additional ones or
a thesis, making it possible to Sc
cure an advanced degree in two sum
mers. In all others it requires three
summers work to attain this advanc-
ed degree.
Two sessions of six weeks each are
to make up the summers work. Agri-
culture work will be given in Tucson
and the plan and equipment of the
university caH UG uSGu. AiIicu SuD-
jects will also be taught. Classes in
education, English, economics, history
political science and other subjects
will be offered.
Dean J. o. Creager, director of sum-
mer schools for the University of Ari-
zona, made this announcement fol
lowing a conference with President G.
H. Marvin. On his recent trip the
president visited Flagstaff for the
purpose of making necessary ar
rangements with institution of the
northern Arizona town. DR.. HI. c.

director of the 1924 summer schools
"We have found by our past exper-
ience with summer schools that there
is a considerable demand for graduate
work for masters degrees on the part
of many teachers, principals and su-
perintendents of the schools of the
state" stated Dean Creager. "a ques-

Congressman Carl Hayden's Letter
This was written under date Feb
ruary IL, 1924, to Joe B. Rickel, clerk
Of the board of supervisors, Coconino
county:
"For the information of the board
of supervisors enclose herewith a
copy of letter that have received
from Mr. Charles Mccormick (the
general form letter above alluded to-,
together with copy of letter that
/ have just written to him. In a
previous letter | advised Mr.. McCor-
mick that since there is no Indian
reservation in that part Of the Grand
Canyon where Vulcan Throne is To-
Gated, no assistance could be expected
from the United States on behalf of
the Navajo Indians"
Hayden's Letter TO Mccormick.
"With further reference to your
letter of January 2, beg to advise
that | have received the enclosed re-
ply from the director of the u. S.
Geological survey to my inquiry as to
the feasibility of crossing the Grand
Canyon by bridge at Vulcan Throne.

by Mr.. LaRue and the accompanying
photographs and drawings that it

struct road in and out of the Grand
Canyon at that point -. Upon the
other hand the site about four miles
below the present crossing at Lees
Ferry is ideal for the construction of
a suspension bridge. AS | previously
pointed out to you this site has the
further advantage enabling request
to be made that the United States
contribute one-half of the cost of the
bridge on behalf of the Navajo In
dians.
Mr.. LaRue's Report
C. e. LaRue is in charge of u. S.
geological survey matters in the west.
His report, dated February 2, 1924,
to George Otis Smith, director of the
u. S. geological survey, says, in part
Automobile and wagon travel be-
tween the Flagstaff region in Arizona
and points in Northern Arizona and
southern Utah pass over the road
which crosses Colorado river at Lees
Ferry. Perhaps so per cent of this
road is good and the remainder is
passable. The cost of building first
class graded road would not be ex-
cessive.
"The bridge site is located about
three miles below Paria river and
four miles below the present crossing
at Lees Ferry. Twelve miles Of the
present road would be eliminated by
the construction of the bridge. At
the bride site the walls are composed
of limestone and sandstone, almost
vertical from the river banks. The
box canyon at this point is about 450
feet deep and between 600 and 700
feet wide at the top. The site is cas-
lily accessible from the north and
south.
vulcan Throne bridge site is To-
Gated 17S miles below Lees Ferry and
SO miles below Bright Angel creek. A
bridge here would connect with the
Torroweap valley on the north and
Prospect valley on the south. The
conditions at the site in the bottom of
the canyon are favorable for the con-
struction of a bridge. Vulcan Throne,
which is near the center of. the river,
could be used as a bridge pier. While
the conditions at this site are favor
able for the construction of a bridge,
the site is almost inaccessible. At
present automobiles may be driven to
the rim of the canyon near the bridge
site both on the north and south sides
of the cai1Y0
However, these roads end at points
on the plateau more than 1000 feet
above the river. A road from. the
rim of the canyon to the bridge site
would nearly all be tunnels, the cost
of which would be very excessive" "

The following letter shows that

south over longer, less easy route;
Editor Coconino Sum-.
"Our attention has been called tc

through the efforts of this organiza-

ing August "a, for the purpose of or
ganizing National Old Trails asso-
citation to boost and to give true dope
in regard to this portion of the high
way. Letters of notification of this
meeting were sent to all towns from
Los Lunas, N. NJ, to Barstow, Calf.
We were disappointed at this meet
ing, inasmuch as the towns west seem
ingly took no interest, as they were
not represented. However, we wish
to extend our cooperation to you at
the present time and to assure you
that we will use our best efforts and
influence in routing the eastern tour
lists over the old trails.
"Due to the malicious and mislead-
ing road information that has been
given publicity concerning the Old
Trails highway we have found it nee
r. r,lo of &c I

local interests. We have found out
that those upon the southern route
have been attempting to route tourists
via Socorro, Springerville, Globe and
thence to Phoenix, and likewise on
south from S0corro to Deming and
on to other points. We find that they
have received cooperation in this from
the automobile club of southern Cal
ifornia, due to the fact of liberal
memberships they have held therein.
We have also been reliably informed
that tourists were being misled at
Kansas City in regard to conditions
along the northern route of the Nat
