NORMAL AND WILLIAMS
BASKETBALL GIRLS TIE
in HOTLY FOUGHT GAME

Displaying plenty of spirit and in
tense rivalry, the girls basketball
teams of Flagstaff Normal and Will
lians high school battled to 10 to 10
count on the latter's court last Sat-
urday night.
The contest was indeed a first-class
rough-and-tumbl combat of thrills,
with the Normal girls suffering many
personal fouls.
The first quarter was close with the
Williams girls in the lead by to
score. The half period closed II
to 7 in Williams favor. Fighting
against odds the Normal sextette end
ed the 3rd period with the tally read
ing IA to 13 in their opponents favor.
The game closed 10 to 10.
The superb shooting of Forward
Anona Wells stood out above the roar
of the battle. Her teammate and sis
ter, Helen, showed flashes Of speed
but was carefully watched by the
Williams guards.

ty supervisors would do well to get
this concession from the the railroad

with the supervisors.

According to e. S. Wheeler, district
engineer for the public roads bureau
Arizona's portion of the federal ap-
preparation for forest highway work
this year is more than $l50,000 less
than last years. Approximately
$450,000 was spent in the state in
1923.

ORGANIZE TO GIVE TRUE
DOPE TO TOURISTS ABOUT
ROADS OF NORTH ARIZONA

Roy Stackpoole Of Kingnan and w.
r. Fairbanks of Oatman, both pro-
gressive garagemen, were in Flag
staff Tuesday and Wednesday inter
esting local garage men and other
business men in an association which
it is proposed to organize to fight the
practice prevailing in New Mexico OF
routing west-bound tourists over the
southern route.
The Sun several weeks ago called
attention to the fact that garage men
and others in New Mexico towns are
misrepresenting road conditions to
tourists, sending them over the long,
er and less easily travelled southern
route. 1t is an open secret that Phoe-
nix and other money contributed IN
southern Arizona is responsible.
Business men along the northern
Old Trails through the northern part
of the state thus share with the de-
luded tourists the hardships caused
by this lying misinformation. The

GOOD IDEA TO FIND WHAT
lis BEHIND PLAN TO KILL
OFF NORTHERN STRIP DEER

AS more thought is given the pro-
posal of State Game Warden Willard
to allow the killing of many of the
deer in the strip north Of Grand
Canyon in this county, the more OPP
position to the plan develops.
The motive Of the state game war
den ostensibly is the claim made that
there are SO many deer there that
they are crowding each other out of
enough to eat; also that they are a
menace to the stockfnen north of the
Canyon.
Probably the latter is the real mig
ger in the woodpile. Before Arizona,
especially Coconino county people get
too anxious to have them killed off,
it might be we'll to investigate just
who the stocknmen are who favor the
thinning out" process. 1t will Likely
be learned, with astonishment, that
more than half the stock grazed on
Coconino county range north of Grand
Canyon, is. owned by Utah stockman,
who refuse to pay grazing fees-who
are, moreover, anxious to get peTnnis-
sion for themselves and their friends
to come into Arizona and kill deer.
Investigation would also show,
probably, that the largest cattle out
fit up there this side of the state line,
while paying taxes all right, in this
county, and on part of its range pay
ing grazing fees, is for the most part,
grazing on unsurveyed government
land without payment of fees.

MOTHER OF 10 CHILDREN,
FIVE OF WHOM DIED in THE
WAR, BURIED ON MONDAY

Al remarkable woman died in Flag
staff last week. Mother of nineteen
children, IA boys and five girls, eight
of the boys died before the beginning
of the world war, but of the remain
ing seven, all who were old enough
enlisted for active service and five OF
them died for their country on for
eign soil, two of flu and the other
three killed in action.
This mother was Felicia G. Padilla,
wife of Serafin Padilla. She was OF
Spanish descent. Her death occurred
Saturday morning, after two days OF
illness with pneumonia She was laid
to rest Monday following funeral ex-
ercises at the old Presbyterian
church, at which Rev. John Burman
officiated
Mrs. Padilla often said that Il all
her boys had lived she would gladly
have given them all for her country.
We have read about the Spartan
mothers of old. This was one of
modern times.

CANDLEMAS

CandIemas, or the feast Of lights,
will be observed tonight at the Epis-
copal church, with special appropri-
ate music.
The observance of Candlemas dates
back to the early days of Christianity.
The date has always been the day set
aside by the church calendar in COM
memoration of the presentation of
Jesus in the temple. When the infant
Jesus, according to Jewish custom,
was presented in the temple, the aged
priest, Simeon, divinely inspired, said:
"Lord, now lettest thou thy servant
depart In peace, according to Thy
word. For mine eyes have seen Thy
salvation, which Thou hast prepared
before the face of all people to be
light to Tighten the Gentle, and to
be the glory of Thy people Israel"
Light is the thought and the mes
sage of this service. The lights Of
the candles symbolic the words of
Jesus: LET your light so shine before
men that they may see your good
works, and glorify your Father which
is in heaven"

Instead of 100000 for the Flag
staff ANGEL section of the National
Old Trails highway between here and
Winslow, this county will get only
S131, ,72O, was decided in conference
on Tuesday in Phoenix between rep
resentatives of the u. S. bureau of
public roads, the state highway de-
partment and the national forest.
C. w. Smith, U. S. engineer in
charge of construction on the Flag
staff Angel road, returned yesterday
from the conference. He says that
government estimates Of the cost of
grading the road beween here and
Angell--the bridge and culvert work
already has been done will be about
$4,000. The contract for this will
be let next month or in April.
This will leave $4,000 for surfac-
ing. It is believed by Mr.. Smith that
instead of letting contract for the
surfacing, the government will do
that work with its own forces, to make
the $4,000 60 just as far as possible.
4. G. Lashmet, the contractor who
last year built the bridges and cul-
verts for the new highway, in Flag
staff this week, called attention to the
fact that the county's right of way

The reduction was the result of a
decrease of ST 100000 in the congress
ional appropriation. The total APP
preparation for forest highway of the
country this year is S5,500,000 as
against $6.500,000 for the same pur-
pose in 1923.
The $285, ,948 available for Arizona
was budgeted as follows Mr.. Wheeler
announced:
$65,OO0 for expense in the Clifton
Springerville highway in Greenlee
county, or contingencies of construc-
tion impossible to estimate in the orig
inal cost figures.
$50 for additional cost of the
Prescott White Spar road. This to be
used in addition to last years appro-
priation for construction of the To-
mile stretch.
$4,000 for additional cost on the
Clifton -Springerville road in Apache
county.
$81, ,720 for grading on the Flag
staff Angel road running rs miles
east from Flagstaff.
$4,000, the remainder of the total
funds available, to be used IN surfac-
ing, as far as the funds will go, the
Flagstaff ANGEL road.

Valuation of taxable property in
Coconino county increased more than
S600,OO0 according to the annual re-
port of Joe B. Rickel, clerk of the
county board of supervisors. The re-
port is printed elsewhere in this
weeks issue of The Sun and gives
many facts and figures.
We refer you to the report itself
for 1923 figures. What the report
does not show is how 1923 compared
with 1922. Following are some of the
increases and decreases in 1928 on
the abstract of the assessment roll:
Dry farming land, increase 1O5
acres; increase in valuation, 27,718.
improvements on above, increase $685.
900. Grazing lands, 298,482 acres; in
crease in valuation $229,969. Grazing
lands amounting to more than three
and one-third million acres and valued
at only $34, $50, were not included in
the 1922 abstract at all. Town and
city lots were granted a lower assess
ment rate by the state tax commission
and the decrease in valuation is $780,
314, and improvements on said lots
decreased $12,084. There is a little
increase both in number and valua-
ton of non-productive mines.

F. H. S. BASKETBALL
GIRLS WERE TOO MUCH
/. FOR CLARKDALE GIRLS

A fine exhibition of basketball was
shown on Thursday night, January "a,
when the girls of the Flagstaff high
school defeated the girls of Clarlodale
high school.
Although the crowd from the town
was not as large as it had been in the
previous games played this year, there
was a great deal of snappy cheering,
and both teams came upon the floor
determined to win.
During the first quarter the local
high school made four points, and at
the end of the half the score stood
1910. In the second half the Clark
dale girls, although slightly discour-
aged, came back with enough fight to
keep the local girls on their toes.
When the final whistle blew Clarkdale
had made four more points, and the
Flagstaff girls had brought their
score up to "a points.

Tax Valuation in County in 1923 Sho,ved
Increase Of More than Half Million Dollars

Lumber in mill yards decreased
more than 100000 feet and the val
uation $78,503. There are only ten
sawmills in the county now, as com
pared to II in 1922, and valuation de-
creased $6,315. Standing timber de-
creased 9,047,702 feet and valuation
$21, ,376.
Bank valuation decreased a little
more than thousand dollars. There
are now 108 stocks of merchandise,
an increase of two, but valuation de-
creased $18,586. Household and of
flee furniture increased a little less
than $4,000. There were 1915 autos
taxed for 1923, an increase of 200 and
in valuation of $16,074. Incidentally
the fact that the cars taxed in 1928
were valued at nearly 100000
which does not represent anywhere
near all of the amount paid for them
lis interesting. Railroad valuations
increased about $4,000, telephone lines
81, 900, and telegraph lines only So

new BOY SCOUT TROOP
ORZANIzED in FLAGSTAFF

Monday night at the armory new
troop of Boy Scouts was organized
for the Spanish speaking boys of
Flagstaff. The local Knights of Col
umbus are sponsoring the troop and
are very much pleased with the way
the work is going forward. Father
Vabre had wanted to start the work
among the Mexican boys for some
time and was instrumental in having
the meeting called.
J. G. Verkamp was elected as
chairman of the troop committee and
will have four other committeeman,
namely: G. w. Jake, Eugene Phelan,
p. j. Lindemann and Tom McCul-
, lough. They in turn picked Joe h.
Frohmiller as scoutmaster and I. j.
Higgins as assistant scout master.
The meeting was called at 7:30 with
about 20 boys present. Father Vabre
spoke to the boys and helped Scout
Executive Mccormick explain the
Scout plan. Much interest was shown
by the boys and in very short time
Flagstaff will have a fine troop COM
posed of Mexican boys. Scoutmaster
Frohmiller has some good plans for
future meetings and the work will
progress in fine manner.

.FREDONIA PEOPLE WANT
VULCAN THRONE BRIDGE
INSTEAD OF LEES FERRY
+@4+4#@4%@s&** : : = > :

Residents of the Arizona strip north
of the Grand Canyon, hearing of the
proposed bridge across the Colorado
river at Lees Ferry, are advocating,
in letters to Governor Hunt and state
federal road officials, a substitution
plan providing for the building of the
bridge at Vulcan Throne, north OF
Seligman.
This route and bridge, the Fredonia
people say, would permit year around
territory and would serve large num-
Der of residents in the strip. Pipe
Springs and Torroweap valley already
are settled, while practically all of the
territory followed in the route by Lees
ferry is uninhabited.
Charles Mccormick and A. w. Judd
of F'redonia are among those interest,"
ed in the proposed road. Their inves-
tigation, they declare, shows that the
bridge at Vulcan Throne could be
built from so to 100 per cent more
cheaply than the Lees Ferry bridge.
Governor Hunt has taken up the
proposal with Representative Carl
Hayden, who, in reply, states that en-
gineers are now studying the proposed
Fredonia-Seligman road to see if the
route is feasible.

When an .instrument" or "incident"
as a deed, mortgage or bill of sale
is variously called, goes to County
Recorder Howard Marines office to
be officially recorded, it goes through
a lot of detail, not only being copied
into some big book or other, down to
the last comma and period, but being
indexed and cross-indexed until the
copy can be found by reference to the
name of either party to the transact
ion or, in case Of deed, by location.
The recorders is busy office. The
work Is tedious and requires the great
est possible care, because an error in
transcribing might lead to complica-
tions. There is always a lot of work
to do.

The grave of Lewis Akin lies north
and south in the Flagstaff cemetery,
while all other graves lie east and
west. For before he died Mr.. Akin
asked that he might be buried facing
the San Francisco peaks which had
been his great inspiration in life.
Mr.. Akin was noted as one of the
greatest if not the greatest portrayer
of the Grand Canyon, and for his pic
lures dealing with the west. In his
Canyon pictures he caught the moods
of the Canyon as few, if any, other
artists have ever done. At the time
of his death he was engaged in doing
mural paintings for the Museum of
Natural History of New York. He
died in Flagstaff on January Q, 1913.
Today there hangs in John YER
kamp's store at Grand Canyon an un-
signed picture by Mr.. Akin. This was
originally painted for the Oliver hotel
in South Bend, Ind, but for some
reason it was not sold there. 1t was
hung in Chicago for some time until
at last Mr. Verkamp secured it and
placed it in his store.
Mr.. Akin, who was born in Ore
gon, came to Flagstaff in the latter
years of his life and became one of

the towns most loyal boosters, TAX
ing part in all movements for the fur
ther development of the towns inter-
estS.
Later he pitched tent on the rim
of the Grand Canyon, where he lived,
and caught the spirit of the canyon
which he transferred to his canvas. It
was during this time that he painted
many of his greatest pictures and
developed what became known to art
lists and art lovers as the "Aikin
haze"
While there he met a Miss Reed of
Philadelphia, society woman of
means, who had come to the Canyon
in order to get away from the rush
and the tear of the whiTl of social life
in the east. A warm friendship
sprang up which, blessed by the gods
Of the wilds, gradually ripened into
love. They were married in the east
and then returned to Flagstaff where
Mrs. Akin brought from Haden Tai
bot the partially finished, but much
planned Country club building. I'm
der the direction of Mrs. Akin this
was transferred into one of the fin
est Flagstaff homes. The building,
