RAILROAD OFFICIALS
DEAD ON THEIR FEET
Continued from Page One.)

So, while Mr.. Etter and his assoc
ciates procrastinate, we are confront
ed by a situation that is likely to
have an outcome detrimental in the
extreme to our business and to hum
dreds of our residents. This outcome
cannot be prevented by any speed Mr.
,Etter may develop now, but his lack
of attention to our need promises a
duplication, on much larger scale,
of like serious difficulties next win
| ter. We are using more water each
year. If the mills have to close this
winter, they will have to close for q
1 longer time next winter unless befoAs
then we have stored up an additional
supply Of water.
/ AS our supply Of water dwindles,
and the almost certainty of a midi
| shutdown faces us-the only thing
/ that can make the shutdown unneces-
sary being an unusually early and
lively thaw that will give US some
water from Schulz canyon snow--tlle
Santa F'e railroad is still daily using
the emergency limit of Flagstaff wa
/ ter-200, ,0Qc- gallons day. It's con-
tract with the city allows it that
much.
1t may vet have to come to show
/ down made by altogether cutting
off the railroads supply of water and
/ a test at law to decide whether the
railroad can enforce its. contract at
the expense of Flagstaff's industries.
There is less snow than usual IN
Schulz canyon this winter. A thaw
would have to come soon and be real
thaw to get the water flowing in suf-
ficient quantity to save the situation.
City council has not been able to
decide whether dam to inpound wa
ter in Schulz canyon will be feasible.
/ Certainty must be delayed until
/ spring and the digging of 20-foot test
holes to determine the holding charae-
! ter Of the soil. If Schulz canyon does
/ not prove feasible, then we will have
to rush into the construction Of res.
eryoir. In that case we'll have to
see whether the Santa Fe is willing
to cooperate on a really cooperative
basis. If not, we shall have to accept
! their strong-arm methods, or assume
! the burden alone. If the latter, the
procrastinating methods of the rail-
road company following the rejection
of it's proposed one-sided contract
seems to indicate that we'll have to
go to law to determine our right to
develop enough of our own water for
our own needs.
Maybe it's only procrastination and
that there is no ulterior motive, no
desire for coercion behind it. It is to
be hoped that careless procrastination
is all that it is. But, even if that is
all that it is, it is nothing short of
criminal There can be crime COM
1nitted without motive. It is none the
less serious in its consequences and
none the less easy to bear.
| Anyhow, it is time, high time,
away past time, for show down. This
is something more serious, more
fraught with danger to US than pes
tilential depot.

NOW JUNIOR CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE UNDER WAY

A group Of younger Flagstaff busi-
ness men met Wednesday night and
drew up tentative plans for the fornna-
ton of a junior chamber of commerce
of which they will form the nucleus.
The object Of the now embryonic or
ganization will be the further develop
ment of Flagstaff, both as home and
tourist town. They mean to get up
literature of all kinds on this vicinity
which they viii send throughout the
country. In this way they hope to get
in touch with tourists coming through
here and tell them of the wonderful
country that lies all about us. Flag
staff will sure be placed on the map,
even more than we are now, when
these hopes are realized, and the tour
list will stay with US bit instead Of
dashing ON to other goals.

JOHN W. FRANCIS UNDER
SURGEONS KNIFE MONDAY
in DANGEROUS OPERATION.
Continued from Page one.)

els went to Clemenceau a few weeks
ago to visit their other daughter, Mrs.
NJ. o. Dumas. While there he was
taken desperately i'll and was persuad-
ed to go to the United Verde hospital
at Jerome, where DR.. Carlson diagnos-
ed the trouble as either cancer or ul-
Ger Of the stomach.
Drs. r. o. Raymond and Felix Man
ming Of Flagstaff advised the patient
to go at once to the Mayos. He and
Mrs. Francis returned from Jerome
to Flagstaff about two weeks ago and
then a week later left for the east.
1t is believed here that the trouble
must have been an ulcer, as there had
been no real cancer symptoms shown.
1t was understood that if it was can
Ger there would be no operation. The
fact that the telegram reported an
operation leads to the belief, there
fore that it must have been an ulcer.
It is believed, from the spread of the
growth shown in the X-ray examina-
ton and word received here from DR..
Judd before the operation took place,
that large part of the stomach had
to be cut away.

JOHN IVENS POST NO. AZ
HAS ENTHUSIASTIC MEET

John Ivens Post No. AZ, American
Legion, at Grand Canyon, held very
enthusiastic meeting Monday, January
2Ist, 1924. The meeting was we'll at
tended, and it is pleasing to note the
increasing interest taken by the MEM
bers of this post in every session.
Plans are now under way for busy
year. The executive committee in its
report made a number Of recommen-
dations regarding the course to be ta-
ken during the ensuing year that was
we'll received by the members pres.
ent.
Their tentative plans at the moment,
call for picnic during the summer
months, in conjunction with the ladies'
auxiliary of the post. When the ques-.
tion of picnic comes up, it would never
do to leave the ladies out Of the ques-
tion. A good many of the members
Of the post would, no doubt, make
ideal kitchen police (due entirely to
past training) put we would not want
to take any chances with their cook
ing { p or attempts at it, therefore
the ladies' auxiliary, God bless 'em.
1t is also expected that Armistice
day this year, as well as the Fourth
OF July, will be celebrated by the
American Legion, as it has never been
celebrated before. Due to press of
circumstance, the Fourth Of July and
Armistice day last year, were not
marked in a manner befitting the re-
spective occasions, but in the words
of the cartoonist ''them days is gone
forever"
An entertainment committee was
appointed by First ce-Commander
Henry, composed of the following
comrades: Keen, Ennis, Harbin, Ken
nedy and Harrison. 1t is expected this
committee will hold a joint meeting
with a like committee from the aux
iliary in the very near future, at which
time plans will be formulated for the
celebration of Washington birthday.
It is understood, however, at this time,
that the occasion will be marked by
hard-times dance and an auction
supper about IL o'clock that night.
A cordial and hearty invitation is
extended to all Flagstaff and Will
liams Legionnaires, their relatives and
friends to attend this dance. The mu-
sic will be furnished by the Canyon
Cliffies," and that in itself always
means good time.
The finance officer reported that
the finances of the post were in bet
ter shap than ever before. We're all
set. Let's go!

SAYS SUMS ESTIMATE OF
NUMBER AUTO TOURISTS
HERE In 1923 TOO LOW
Continued from Page One.)

| did not wish to bore you, but
thought you might like this informa-
tion.
For your information l can advise
you that highways are now being laid
out and built into Springerville direct
and into Socorro, from practically
every eastern point and that we be-
ieve the tourist traffic through
Springerville will more than double
in a reasonable length of time. We
can count as many as nine highways
that are now bringing tourists into
this section from eastern points.
We all enjoy your paper very much.
IF you have the leisure at any time
to make US a visit we would certainly
like to have the privilege of entertain
ing you first and talking the road sit
uation over secondarily.
Very sincerely yours,
JULIUS w. BECKER.
This means that at least $4,000
tourist cars passed through Flagstaff
in 1928 Judging the amount of travel
over the Gallup road, it is likely the
figure is nearer to $4,000.
G. w. Smith, U. S. engineer in
Nlid1sSS. vi fNOllSCI uIClOu VI IllC ~ilcW
Flagstaff-Angell section of the Nat
ional Old Trails highway, told rep
resentative of The Sun last week that
he is confident auto tourist travel
through Flagstaff will be almost, if
not quite double in 1924 what it was
in 1923. He makes this estimate be-
cause of the increase in autos and auto
travel and because the Old Trails
transcontinental road is SO much bet
ter than it was formerly, fact that
is becoming generally known through
out the United States and will be ta-
ken advantage of. 1t not only is a
better, more easily Travelled and more
direct route than the other transcon-
tinental highways, but also holds out
superior scenic and climatic attrac-
tions.
The tourist business is going to keep
Flagstaff hustling to keep anywhere
near UP to it's demands. Flagstaff
will benefit from it far more than
any other town within several hundred
miles, because our superior attrac-
tions cause the tourist to linger here
and rest and enjoy himself in COM
fort, something that no other town
for a long distance in either direc-
tion can reasonably invite him to do
because of lack of some Of or all Of
the main essentials-good water, good
camping facilities, pleasant climate
and beautiful scenery,

ments have made capitalism much
stronger than II ever was before. All
socialist and semi-socialist are nothing
else but wall Of protection, behind
which the bankers. industrialists, and
'agrarians. are continuing their old
