&C. w. Smith,
"U. S. Engineer,
Flagstaff, Arizona.
"Please inform any interested civic
organizations regarding Flagstaff
Angel forest road project as follows:
First part of two-stage project.
The structures are now under con-
struction. Surfacing and grading are
to be carried on as rapidly as funds

MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO
ORGANIZE MUSEUM SOCIETY

It is suggested that there should be
some sort of a museum association
formed among those ESPECIALLY inter
ested in the collection of antiques and
curios abounding in this section of
Arizona. The Woman's club building
will be completed during the next few
weeks and quarters for museum will
be set aside for a collection and the
care of it. It is expected that there
will be many donations made to this
worthy cause by people who have
picked them up during the past twenty
years or more and should eventually
become one of the most interesting
places in Flagstaff to visit.

HARRY WADE MAY NOT
BE SERIOUSLY CRIPPLED

Joe P. Wilson returned the first Of
the week from Phoenix in time to be
at his job vice-presidenting the Arizo-
ma Central bank on Monday morning.
He saw Harry Wade at st. Joseph's
hospital and reports that he is get
ting along nicely. The path of the
bullet through his body has pretty
well healed. X-ray examination show
ed that his leg, which Dink Smiths
other bullet hit, was not in as bad
shape as at first believed, and though
the shin bone was splitered badly, the
knee joint will likely come out all
right and Mr.. Wade will not be badly,
perhaps not noticeably crippled.

A tour of inspection over the east
road Monday rather surprised the par
ty making the trip. The road to Wins
low has been the source Of much COM
ment pro and con by tourists and To-
cal people for the past year. The
work is being done under the direction
of c. w. Smith of the u. S. bureau
of roads, with funds supplied from
the forest service, consequently will
extend only as far east as the east
line of the Coconino national forest.
Much of the criticism has been rather
unfair to the officer in charge of the
work, who has many difficulties to
contend with not generally known to
the people. Of course, detours are
annoying, but are an absolute neces-
sity where roads are being built. Reg
ulations governing bridge building re-
quires that cement bridges be held

UNLIMITED GUEST BUSTS
UP WHAT STARTED OUT
AS A REAL JOLLY PARTY

Half a dozen young men,
: when they saw a man dissolve
: from a nearby shadow, ran from
: there, leaving behind the ten
; gallon keg of good booze they
; had sent car all the way to
; Camp Verde for. How they ran!
This is the gist of the story
as we got it over our grapevine
the next morning.
, No use in telling who the
young men were. But they had
? Clipped in together and sent a
man and car down into the val
: ley, more than. a hundred miles
, away, to get the liquid cheer.
When he got back he parked his
? car in handy spot and tipped
the bunch off. They gathered
; for the inquest. One climbed an
electric light pole nearby and
turned off the light.
But the uninvited guest-he in
: the big coat and hat, who had
: been lying in a dark corner until
the band had foregathered-
when he Strengthened up and
emerged from the gloom, he sure
; spoiled the picnic. The bunch
left the car and its precious load.
Long afterward, before morning,
one returned and took away the
car, but the keg, oh where had it
; gone?

DANIELS is A VERY
FORWARD YOUNG MAN

Fred L. Daniels, whose real name
is said to be Vivian Daniels, was
arrested in Ashfork upon request of
City Marshal r. L. Neill, charged

prietor of the Coconino chop house.
The check was written on the Arizona
Central bank, where Daniels had no

the Canyon Padre WlnSIoW section OF
the National Old Trails highway.
Captain Wright's suggestion was
received with great interest and Vice
President Fred S. Breen appointed the
following committee to assist in find
ing ways and means for carrying out
his suggestion: Bert A. Cameron,
chairman; DR.. A. J. Mackey, c.. B.
Wilson.
Captain Wright said, in part:
The subject of roads is one of
never-ending discussion and criticism,
and about this time of each year,
when the long stretches of unimprov
ed roads through our county become
practically impossible we generally do
a lot of "cussin' and discussin that
get us nowhere.
I am going now to refer particular
ly to that section of the Old Trails
National highway from Canyon Padre
to Winslow. 1t consists of either a
series of sharp limestone, barren
lodges, or succession of mudholes and
ruts, and is the one black eye upon
our transcontinental and local traffic
through northern Arizona.
The county authorities are making
arrangements to remedy the present
condition as much as the limited funds
will permit. These repairs will be
merely temporary and in fact repre-
sent an actual waste of funds that
must be spent each year. Automobile
traffic has increased in the past five
years from an average of rs or 30

DELLWOOD IN SEATTLE
 WITH BALANCE OF
 NEW ALASKA CABLE
GALE CARRIES AWAY PART OF TELEGRPHIC CONTROL TO
 SAIL NORTH THIS WEEK

SEATTLE, Sept. 22-The cableship Dellwood arrived in Seattle today with the balance of the Alaska cable which she brought from London, via the Panama Canal.
 In an effort to gain all possible time in a pace against the coming winter season, the Dellwood was put through a stiff head sea between San Francis co and Seattle, which carried away three telegraphic control terminals on the forward deck and necessitated the flashing of braces to other operating instruments located forward of the bridge.
 Several pieces of important control equipment were bent despite braces lashed to them and the heavy steel supports upon which they were mount ed were also twisted.
 The Dellwood will be delayed until Wednesday or later in the week in order to repair the damaged control gear. She is carrying 950 miles of cable, the remaining unit of the new Alaska cable from Seattle to Seward.
