PURCHASE BRIGHT ANGEL
TRAIL ENDORSED BY THE
HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES

Local satisfaction is general over
the news received from the national
capital that Representative Carl Hay
den from this state has had put back
into the interior department appro-
priation bill the provision for the pur-
chase from Coconino county of Bright
Angel trail at Grand Canyon, which
appropriation u. S. Senator Ralph
Cameron had previously had struck
from the bill in senate committee.
Now the matter will have to be re-
turned to the senate for confirma-
ton: SO it's ultimate fate will not be
learned until after that body has
passed on it.
The news of the houses action was
received here in telegram to Joe B.
Rickel, clerk of the county board of
supervisors, from Mr.. Hayden. 1t
read:
Washington, D. c., March IL.
81. B. RICKEL,
"Clerk Board of Supervisors, Flag
staff, Arizona.
House has adopted the following
provision in place Of Hayden amend
ment to which the board Of supervis-
ors objected for the construction of
trails within the Grand Canyon nat
ional park 100000 to be Immediately
available and to remain available un-
til expended; provided that said sum
may be used by the secretary of the
interior for the purchase from the
county of Coconino, Arizona, of the
Bright Angel toll road and trail with
in said park under such terms and
conditions as he may deem proper and
the secretary of the interior is author
lied to construct an approach road
from the National Old Trails highway
to the south boundary of said park
"CARL HAYDEN"
The original Hayden bill, referred
to in the telegram as having been OBJ
jected to by the board of supervisors,
was not quite clear as to the pay
ment of the purchase price of the
trail to the county. The supervisors
on Monday refused to consider a sale
of the trail under the original bill.

SCHOOL FACULTIES DINE
TOGETHER, TEACHERS OF
CITY SCHOOLS THE HOSTS

City schools faculty entertained the
faculty of the Normal school on We'd
nesday night at an enjoyable dinner
at Flagstaff high school, followed by
a highly interesting program of music
and speeches, and then by an inspec-
tion of the rooms and equipment IN
the fine new high school building.
All the city teachers, both high
school and grade, joined as hosts.
President and Mrs. L. B. McMullen
came with the visiting faculty, and
other guests were the members of the
city school board, Messrs. v. M. Sill
pher, George 7. Harrington and G. B..
Wilson; Mrs. Charlotte Acker, county
superintendent Of schools, and William
Webster Ellsworth, noted lecturer and
writer, who was accompanied by his
wife.
The three-course dinner was served
by the domestic science pupils of the
high and grade schools, under the di-
rection of their respective instructors,
Miss Myrtle Webber and Miss Ruth
Dotson. Immediately following the
dinner, John @. Thomas, superinten-
dent of the city schools, spoke word
of welcome to the guests and stressed
the purpose of the dinner, to bring
closer acquaintance and understand
ing between the teaching bodies Of the
two schools. Then all adjourned to the
auditorium.
The program there began withs a
violin solo by Professor C. v. Ridge
", Miss Mildred Whetsel accompany
ing. Mr.. McMullen described the
work done at the recent Chicago con-
ference of school supervisors under
the auspices of the National Educa-

DIR. RounseviIle, Judge x. N. Sleeves

Mr.. Ward, in charge for Sharpe &

his car fixed and the rest coming
along mainly to arouse local anticipa-

AMATEURS MAKE HITS
in HOME TALENT FARCE

Reviews of home talent plays usual
" are complimentary.
But it requires no drain on the
imagination nor. CLOSING over the
facts to make this notice Of the play
given Monday and Tuesday nights at
the Woman's club building one of
praise for the entire cast.
The lines of the farce, "Mrs. Tenn
pies Telegram" were clever and nat
ural. The plot with it's complication
of lies made necessary by the innocent
lie told at the beginning, was logical
in its absurdity, if those two adjec-
tives can work together without
clashing.
The auditorium of the Woman's
club home seems to have been well
designed with a view to obtaining
good acoustic properties. This, with
the unusually clear speaking of the
amateur thespians, made it easy for
all to hear-a comfortable thing thu
is rather unique in amateur theatre.
Gals.
j. P. McVey of the Flagstaff high
school faculty, as Jack Temple, the
husband, gave his lines easily, with
just the right amount of comedy eff
feet in mannerism. Charles S. Nc
Cormick, Boy Scout executive, as
Frank Fuller, Temples friend, was as
smooth and convincing a liar on the
stage as he is clean-cut and sincere
off of it. Clarence T. Pulliam, our
suave city clerk, was polished and
frequently puzzled to just the right
degree as Captain Sharpe, English
army officer in love. Wigson, the
butler, was the part taken by Frank
Chisholm, and how Frank ever got ex-

Most of the changes in the Flag
staff plant have been made while the
mill was operating at top speed on a
ten-hour shift, in order to manufac-
ture all the lumber possible before it
is necessary to close down operations
to make the final changes. 1t is hoped
that this shutdown will not take more
than about 80 days.
The log pond will be enlarged to
more than double its present size and
the log hauling machinery into the
mill will be of more than double it's
present capacity, and the lath mill
will be greatly increased in capacity.
At present there is no intention to
operate double shifts but if market
conditions warrant this, it is expect
ed that double shift may be put into
effect. These new improvements will
mean for this company an output of
approximately 100000 feet in ten
hours on a day shift and twice this
quantity with double shift.
The Flagstaff mills with their big
payrolls are a wonderful asset to
Flagstaff and the public-spirited at
titude their owners maintain toward
Flagstaff and its welfare means a
great deal more. 1t is pretty safe to
say that the annual mill payroll here
will in the next ten years be twice as
large as for the last ten. That's very
much worth while for Flagstaff.

REAL CONSTRUCTIVE WORK
BEING DONE BY JUNIOR
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Flagstaff Junior Chamber of Com
merce mapped out important plans at
their meeting Wednesday night among
which were the publishing of booklets
dealing with the wonders both OF
scenery and climate in and about
Flagstaff. These are to be profusely
illustrated and are to be given ma
tion-wide circulation. Some are to be
mailed to all parts of the country,
some placed in hotels and garages OF
towns to the east and west as well as
in chambers of commerce of all towns
along the National Old Trails high
way. Every tourist passing through
here is to be given at least one OF
these booklets and is to be urged to
send some to his friends back home.
These pamphlets are to contain views
of the surrounding country, of the In
dian life about here and others of in
terest to the tourist who searches for
the unusual. Then, too, there is to
be literature giving the true dope on
the town and the country surround
ing. 1t will be in fact, booklet
which the tourist will treasure, not
alone for its beauty, but also for the
information which it will contain and
which will refresh the memory after
the trip is over.
The civics committee reported that
the Chinese elms nave arrived and
every member offered to plant them
throughout town. These trees should
be a great asset toward the beautify
ing Flagstaff. We need more trees
and through the chamber we are TO
have them.

to give dinner dance in the near fu-

These men haven't forgotten how to
be boys. That's one reason why they are
meeting with such wonderful success in
building up the Flagstaff organization. To
be Scoutmaster means lot of self-sac-
rifice, much study, many hours of time
every week. Flagstaff owes deep appre-
citation to ScOutmasters Powers, FrohmiIl-
er and Fuss, also to ScOutmaster Fred E.
Browning, temporarily in charge of the
Rotary club troop of older Boy Scouts.
While most of us are giving only money,
these men are giving great deal more
than that.

vAGRANT WINDS

Excitement was rife near the
corner of Aspen and San Francisco
on Monday. Alf Dickinson drove
his car up there, got out and walk
ed away. A few minutes later Alf
came back and the car was gone.
He .hurriedly notified the officers
it had been stolen.
There was very slight breeze
blowing. Alf had neglected to set
his brakes. The breeze waited the
car along the street little way
and across. Joe Schmidt saw it
heading for the curb and stopped
it just before it struck.
Alf forgave the wind.

Lord Didn't See Much to
Admire in Wordsworth

Wordsworth Is held up for the de-
risive gaze Of future generations In the
journal of the fourth Lord Holland,
published in London.
His lordship was a languld young
man of fashion, who employed part of
his leisure in the early days of the
Nineteenth century In keeping a rather
dull journal into which the unlordly
public is at length permitted to gaze,
says the Living Age.
One paragraph, scrawled on the eve
ming of March Is, 1902, suffices, how
ever, to redeem the journal, for, the
more important topic of food being
safely disposed of, Lord Holland be-
slows three aristocratic sentences on
Wordsworth:
"Dined at the BIS. A very dull af-
fair. We had, however, asperges,
rarity at this season. Lady B. in

House Paint Once Banned

Linseed oil was first made in New
York in 1715. Pigments were all i'm
ported. In New England there was
much prejudice against the use Of
paint, it being considered a sign of
wOrldliness and vanity.
In 1880 clergyman in Charlestown
Mass, was hailed before the council for
having the interior of his house paint
ed, and during the ensuing 40 years
there was not a painter in all New
England. Still, by 1859 the use Of
paint had become general throughout
the country, the white house with
green blinds for many years being the
common form of exterior painting in
all parts of the United States. This
manner Of painting frame houses Is to-
day enjoying popularity. In fact, in
some quarters this color scheme is
criticised as lacking individuality.

The Obscure and Faithful

What we call illusions are often, in
truth, wider vision of past and pres
ent realltles-a willing movement of a
mans soul with the larger sweep Of
the worlds forces--a movement to-
ward more assured end than the
chances of single life. We see hui
man heroism broken into units and
say this unit did little-might as well
not have been. But in this way we
might break up a great army into
units; in this way we might break the
sunlight into fragments, and think
that this and the other might be
cheaply parted with 1t. Let us, rather,
raise monument to the soldiers
whose brave hearts only kept the
ranks unbroken, and met death-a
monument to the faithful who were
not famous, and who are precious as
the continuity Of the sunbeams is pre-
clous, though some Of them fall I'M
seen and on barrenness.-Geor Eliot
