History Of the Cloche.
Since its first appearance several
years ago the cloche, as it is popularity
known, has undergone some serious
changes. A coquettish upper tilt;

This would be very big saving
under the cost of the 5O,000,0O0 gallon
reservoir proposed by Burns e Nc
Donnell, and the multiple arch dam
proposed by Mr.. Eastwood would inn
pound about three times as much
water as the reservoir.
1t is too late to finish water de-
velopment this year in time to store
water against next winters certain
shortage. The best that can be done
is to determine soon on the type of
construction and finish it in time to
impound the waters in next springs

Following is Mr.. Eastwood's letter:

TREAURERS OF STATE


Grand Canyon was selected as the
next meeting place at the closing ses-
sion Tuesday of the two-day state
convention of county treasurers and
county recorders of Arizona. The
next meeting will be held in October
of this year.
Mrs.. Ana lFrohmiller of Flagstaff,
treasurer Of Coconino county, was
elected president of the county treas
urers' association, and Charles Dodge,
of Tucson, treasurer of Pima county,
secretary.
The recorders elected Fl. l.. Hutch
lson of Cochise county president, and
Mrs. Grace Chapman, Yavapai, secre-
tary and treasurer.
A discussion Of the question of col
lection of delinquent taxes was one Of
the last matters taken up at the clos.
ing session of the treasurer's conven-
ton. Also there was general dis
cussion of problems confronting the
treasurers and tax collectors. A uni
form system of accounting was dis
cussed.
Fifty persons were in attendance at
the banquet in the Cave in Nogales,
Sonora, for the visiting treasurers
and recorders.

ROADS IN ALL DIRECTIONS
ARE GETTING GOOD AGAIN

Roads are drying up rapidly and
most of them are in good shape. The
Maine-Grand Canyon road is rough
in spots, but easily passable. The
road to Williams and from there west
is in fine shape. The Flagstaff
Winslow road has had lot of work
lately and cars are making the trip
in slightly over over three hours.
Much better than it was last sum
mer, it still is isn't a boulevard.
Out to Cameron bridge the going
is exceptionally fine, Supervisor Bob
Taylor and Assistant Supervisoral
Clerk Durwood Mckinney making it
on Sunday in twt hours.
The changing Of curves and easing
of grades at Schnebly Hill is just
about finished, and the crew in a
week or so will be transferred to the
Mormon Lake road, which badly needs
work. This side of Schnebly hill for
several miles it is still rocky, but this
side of the boulders the road is a
great deal better than last spring.
The supervisors this week received
a petition signed by more than so
residents of Oak Creek and Sedona,
asking for more work on the Oak
Creek road. The petition recites that
the road is necessary for interchange
of commodities between this section
and that and to permit children to
attend grade and high schools.

WELL, IF YOU WANT TO
HOLD COUNTY OFFICE WHY
DON'T YOU SPEAK UP !?

Slowly, slowly, the political pot be-
gins to get warm. But it isn't hot
yet, which means that it's a long way
from the boiling point it undoubtedly
will reach before all the damage is
done and those are defeated who
thought they wouldn't be, and 9TH
ers are elected only to wonder what
in thunder they got into politics for
anyhow.
There likely will be plenty of can
didates for county supervisor. Bert
Cameron is grooming for the race
against Bob Taylor in the first dis
trict, ]. G. Brown is said to be tight
ening up his cinch to unseat John
10y in the second district, and in the
third district, containing Williams,
Billy Ritteanrouse is not going to be
candidate for reelection and Alfred
Skeels, republican, and Charlie
Wade, democrat, are eagerly waiting
for the starting gun. 1t has been re-
ported that Harold Greene will also
be a candidate in the third district,
and George Black, Jr., in district two.
For sheriff, Billy Campbell is leav-
in his OF white hat in the ring in
bid for reelection. Frank Patton,
who ran against him in the republi-
can primaries two years ago is said
to be in active training for a second
heat, and Under-sheriff S. o. Thomp-
son. is being urged by many of his
friends to step out and see whether
he can set the pace. As yet no DEM
ocrats have announced for the Of
flee but likely an aspirant or two
from that side of the fence will soon
loom on the horizon, and this week
Constable j. 0. Parsons has announc-
ed his candidacy. Clarence Pulliam
is being mentioned as a candidate,
but so far has said nothing but no
to every mentioner.
No opponent has showed so far to
Mrs. Ana Frohmiller, county treasur-
er; Billy Beeson, county recorder;
Mrs. Charlotte Acker, county super
intendent of schools, or Howard Ma
rine, county recorder. Strange to
say, all four of these. people hope, as
far as each is Individually concerned,
that no one will. But the next few
weeks will tell.
county Attorney FRANK harrison
will ask for reelection. There will
likely be no opposition in the demo-
cratic primaries, but there will be in
the general election, for Ed R. Byers
of Williams is going to ask for the
republican nomination.
It is not definitely known yet
whether Justice of the Peace r. j.
Kidd will be a candidate to succeed
himself. In the offing, yet not SO
far as to be out Of sight, is Deputy
Sheriff Roy Scanlon, who has more
or less hankering to fasten ]. P. be-
hind his name with his veterinary
letters to make a full house.

desideratum, and this | have done, so
that it will without cavil be absolutely
safe, the evenly distributed loading
being but six tons per square foot

1T was the idea expressed at that
conference, that the matter of the
dam and its type and the business re-
lating to the building Of it was to be
eliminated from the service render
ed by the engineering firm of Burns

tions should be direct with the offic-

MUSIC, EDUCATION AND
READINGS FOR ROTARIANS

L. B. McMullen, chairman for the
day, announced that his Rotary pro-
gram Tuesday would be music, edu-
cation, readings and Rotary stuff. He
produced live, interesting lot of
features, including a violin solo by
Professor C. v. Ridgely, with Miss
Mildred Whetsel accompanying on the
piano; an address on psychology by
Miss Minnie Lintz; readings by Miss
Martha Dewey and a pianologue by
Miss Whetsel. Del Strong replied to
a recent published article that claim
ed Rotary had outlived its usefulness
in the small cities.
There was no time for encores, or
the brilliant contributions by the
members of the Normal school faculty
sure would have had to be supple
mented by more. Professor Ridgely

COCONINO REPUBLICANS
PICK STATE DELEGATES

E. r. Byers and Charles A. Moose
of Williams and DIR. M. G. Fronske.
Joe P. Wilson and F. S. Breen of
Flagstaff were elected at Monday
nights meeting of the Coconino coun-
ty republican central committee as
delegates to the republican state con-
vention in Phoenix on April 28.
All of the Williams members of
the central committee were present
E. j, N0rdyke, Charles Elliott, G. A.
Moose, Alfred Skeels, E. r. Byers
and C. Y. Campbell. DR.. M. G. From
ske, chairman Of the committee, pre-
sided.
Resolutions proposed by Mr.. Skeel
were adopted in endorsement of the
administration of the late President
Harding and his successor, Calvin
Coolidge, and renewing pledges of fl
deity to the republican principles of
government so ably exemplified by
them. The resolutions also expressed
appreciation of u. S. Senator Ralph
H. Cameron's efforts in behalf of this
state and pledged support in his en-
deavors to obtain congressional rec
ognition and aid for our much-needed
reclamation programs.
In addition to the Williams delega-
tion, the other committeeman present
were Lewis Benedict, w. f. Wallace

1t is the -Four Corners country,
where the states of Colorado, = Utah,
New Mexico and Arizona come to-
gether. And the most promising sec
tion of this huge oil basin, also the
section where the oil-bearing for1na-
tions are nearest the surface and
most easily and quickly reached by
drilling, is bisected by the Arizona
Utah line.
These questions arise in connection
with the foregoing statement of the
probable quantity of this oil supply:
Why was it not sooner discovered
and exploited? Of what interest is
it to Flagstaff? Who are the people,
anyhow, who believe oil is there?
First, it was discovered several
years ago. It's inaccessibility by rail,
even by wagon road, delayed its ex-
ploitation. But as it has become more
generally prospected in the last three
years owing to the increasing con-
sumption and demand for oil, and its
vast possibilities have become more
generally recognized; as automobile
roads have been built to it, and as the
possibility of easily and profitably
piping the oil to the railroad has be-
come recognized, the inaccessibility of
The Coconino sun., 1924-04-18

the field has been found to be more
apparent than real. Indeed, it is far
more accessible than many other
fields that have been dug and are be-
ing worked, notably some in the in
terror of South America.
Second, it is of interest to Flagstaff
because many Flagstaff people have
applied for permits, because more and
more the companies already operating
in the field are turning to Flagstaff
for their supplies, and because there
is every indication that if the field
develops what it promises and what
many of the shrewdest oil men in the
country think it will develop, it
augurs an immense increase in busi-
ness and population for Flagstaff,
the logical supply base.
Third, among the companies now
actually operating in the field are:
The Union Oil company of Califor-
MIA, the Mid West, subsidiary of the
Standard Oil company of Indiana; the
Monumental Oil company of Utah, the
Wilson-Cranmer company of Denver,
the Sun company of Texas, the Cen
eral Petroleum company of California,
while Doheny and some of the Doheny

GETTING HOME FROM SHOW
FOUND CHILD'S LEG BROKEN

A strange accident occurred on
Monday night, when Lillian, the
two-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Herman Dietzman of Flag
staff had the upper bone in her
right leg broken while she was
with her father at the animal show
south of the tracks. How or when
the accident occurred her father
does not know. Shortly after they
went into the tent she began to
cry, but when her mother came
little while later anG took her in
her arms she went to sleep. When
they arrived home after the show
it was discovered the leg was bro
ken. DR.. E. S. Flett set it and
the little patient is resting COM
fortably. No other explanation
seems feasible but that the child
in some way caught her leg be-
tween the seats.

OF HONOR AND FOREST
PROTECTION CELEBRATION

The Flagstaff Court of Honor will
meet on Monday, April 81, at 400 p.
m. Under the supervision of E. G.
Miller of the local forest service the
scouts will be given practical demon

this city. The boys of Troop 2, with
A. j. Mitchell as scoutmaster will be
ready for various badges and the
scouts of Troop 8 will also do their
share in getting their honors. The
program will be a very impressive
one and the public is invited. All
scouts will report at the flag pole
across from the Commercial hotel at
400 p. m. sharp and there will be
machines available to take the boys
to where the meeting will be held,
somewhere among the pines. At
80 the scouts of Troop will as

COUNCIL MAKES START
FOR GENERAL CLEAN UP

City Council Monday night got
through a lot of business, some of
which is mentioned in other articles
in this number.
Rollin Knoles of Knoles Bros bak-
cry, and r. H. Simpson, manager ].
G. Penney store, appeared as repre-
sentatives of the Junior Chamber of
Commerce to propose plan for ovens
in the city tourist camp grounds.
The plan is for these ovens to be
contributed by local business houses,
each oven to be uniform in size and
appearance, built of Flagstaff con-
crete brick, with six holes and a
chimney six feet high. 1t is plan
ned to have a tablet on each an
nouncing the name of the donor. 1t
is reported that several local firms
are ready to donate stoves. The mat
ter was referred to the park commit
tee to work out details.
I. B., Koch, new member of council,
was appointed to the park, street and
alley, sewer and sanitation, and wa
ter committees, to fill vacancies.
Fire Chief Jack Wilson was allowed
maximum of $75 expenses to at
tend the state firemen's convention
at Tucson.
Hayes Weidner, assistant water
boss, was allowed S25 a month
additional salary, bringing it up to
SITS month.
Street Superintendent Frank B.
Richmond was authorized to clean up
the streets and alleys of rubbish and
loose rocks, to ask for cleaning up
by Babbitt Brothers of their stables
and corral, to request the Santa Fe
railroad company to clean up the rub
bish at the end of their Y, and to
clean up around the entrance and
chute at the city dumping grounds.
Mrs. Agnes Pouthie was appointed
to the city library board at the re-
quest of that board to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Rev. FIR. C.
Vabre.
A carload of redwood lumber for
timbering at the city springs tunnel
and a 40-foot extension ladder for the
fire truck were ordered.

MRS. JOE HANLEY'S BACK
BROKEN In AUTO SMASH

A telegram received in Flagstaff
brought the sad news that Mrs. Joe
Hanley of Pueblo had her back broken
in an automobile accident while re-
turning to Pueblo from Denver and is
in critical condition in a Pueblo
hospital
Mrs. Hanley is we'll known here.
She was until her marriage about two
years ago Miss Clarabelle Douglas of
Kingman, and was graduated from the
Normal school here in the same class
with her husband The latter is
a son of Mrs. Margaret Hanley,
matron of the Normal dining room
and brother of Mrs. Joe B. Rickel.
Both Mr.. and Mrs, Hanley have
great many friends all through Ariz-
ona who will be grieved to hear of the
accident.

UNDERGROUND CROSSINGS
AGASSIZ AND SITCREAVES
RECOMMENDED TO SANTA

At city council meeting Monday
night, the committee on depot site
reported and their recommendations
were forwarded to Division tSuperin-
tendent McCulley of the Santa Fe
railroad at Winslow. The report
follows:
The committee you named to inves-
tigate the matter of a suitable site
for the proposed new Santa Fe sta
tion, and to consider the question of
local traffic at railroad crossings in
town, have to report as follows:
We examined all of the crossings on
the right of way from Sitgreaves
street on the west to Agassiz street
on the east and have come to the
following conclusion:
It appeared to use that if new
station were located on the north side
of the main tracks in the block oppo-
site the Commercial hotel it would
be the most satisfactory to the people
of the town. Or if this site were
found impracticable to the railroad,
it was thought the second choice
place would be east of this, prefer
ably about where the present freight
house stands, moving the present
freight house further east or to some
other desirable location which easily
could be found. Then it was thought
that it might be much more satisfac-
tory to the town and perhaps more
convenient for the railroad if all the
siding tracks north of the main
tracks. could be moved to the south
side of the main tracks and further
east than at present.
Then as to the matter of crossings,
it was considered impracticable to
make any change in the regulation of
the present crossings, all Of which are
west of the present station, other
than to put in an underground cross
ing on Sitgreaves street. 1t was
thought that this street might be
paved in the near future and at the
same time this underground crossing
could be built and this would make
safe crossing for the school children
and for considerable amount of the
traffic. This underground crossing
would be comparatively cheap to con-
struct.
Then if the railroad could under
take an additional underground cross
ing at Agassiz street, it was thought
it might help to solve the problem of
their blocking San Francisco and
Beaver streets. In other words, If
there were underground crossings at
Agassiz and at Sitgreaves, it was
felt that the trains could be permit
ted, in case of necessity, to block
Beaver and San Francisco streets a
little longer than the present regula-
tions permit. Otherwise it was not
apparent to the committee how it
would be possible to extend the pres
ent block regulations on these streets.
We hope that our efforts to help
out by suggestion in this important
matter may be of some service to the
town and to the railroad, and if at
any time we can be of further help
please let us know.

CRESS TO HAVE BUILDING;
MAYFLOWER WILL BUILD;
FLAGSTAFF FAST GROWING

L. w. Cress while in Los Angeles
recently ordered extensive and the
most up-to- -the-minute steam and cleo
trio equipment for his tailoring and
cleaning shop. 1t will arrive in about
80 days. Mr.. Cress is not quite ready
to announce his plans, but it is known
he expects very soon to have new
building, completely and modernly
equipped.
Coils w. Mayflower, who few
months ago bought the Pollock block
containing several stores on Aspen
avenue and Leroux street, is making
plans for the immediate erection of a
two-story business building to occupy
the space between the City Drug
store building, which he owns and
leases to Will Marlar, and city hall.
Who will be the tenants has not been
given out, but the location is good
and will be popular.
With the building of the new Mac
kard department store, foundation
for which is now being laid, and plans
made by numerous Flagstaff resi-
dents for new homes this summer,
plus all the extensive building being
done at both the Arizona Lumber &
Timber Co. and Flagstaff Lumber Co.
mills, this will be busy year for
contractors, carpenters and masons
and the end of it will see lot of inn
provement in Flagstaff.
We have added many fine buildings
in the last two years, so gradually
that not much fuss has been made
about it. And now the revival of
building operations, long needed and
desired, seems actually to be on.

EXPECT STATE GUN CLUB
MEET WILL BE HELD HERE

Flagstaff Gun clubs new club
house in City Recreation park, short
distance north of the grandstand, is
finished now. It's fine building,
the best of the kind, it is reported, in
the state. 1t is expected the official
state tournament will be held here
June 80 to July 2, and the local men
will have chance to swell around.
There will be a meeting of the MEM
bers next Thursday night at the office
of Frank NJ Gold, in the Babbitt

urged to be there.
There viii be a regular shoot Sum
day morning at 10.
At an impromptu match Saturday
afternoon between w. M. Cady, Jr.,
of Flagstaff, and Mr.. Cobb, represen-
tative of the Remington people, Mr..
Cady broke SO out of SO pigeons, beat
ing his adversary by one point. Next
day at Williams, where the two and
w. H. H. Crammer went to take part
in the Williams shoot, Mr.. Cobb got
even by beating Mr.. Cady by one bird.
