PRACTICE SCIENCE
SHE NOW TEACHES

Miss Madalyne Myers, Winslow's
most popular high school teacher, who
is now in her second year of teach
ing domestic science, and household
economics and niceties, will soon be-
gin to practice the theories she has
been teaching.
At the faculty banquet Tuesday
evening, one Of the many nice and
surprising things was the formal an
nOuncement, by the postmaster, of
Miss Myers engagement to John L.
Weitlauf, a prominent young Chicago
attorney, who is a member of Chica-
gos civic club, and also a talented
violinist. con the program of dinner
speeches, Miss Myers, the last speak
er, had as her subject, Land at Last.
That is the way the copy came to The
Mail, but we presume is should have
read LANDED at Last."O
Miss Myers has offered her resigna-
ton from the local schools to take
effect at Christmas time, and will
leave for Chicago where she will meet
and be married to Mr.. Weitlauf on
December %. 1t is the hope of all
her many friends that she may in
duce her husband to bring her back
to Arizona some time, so that we all
may meet him to extend best wishes
personally.

GOVERNMENT
TO BUILD new
TRAIL into THE
GRAND Canyon

Following the voting down in Coco
nino county at the recent election, of
the offer of the government to pur-
chase the Bright Angel trail into the
canyon from the county for 100000
work was started this week on a new
trail, which will leave the rim at
Yakui Point, five miles east of Ell
Trovar hotel. Just what route the
new trail will follow or where it will
terminate at the bottom of the canyon
has not been learned However it
is said that the new trail will make
possible a one-day trip to the sus-
pension bridge, whereas it now takes
two by Bright Angel trail. The scenic
attractions of the new trail are also
said to surpass those of the old.
M. R. Tillorson, chief engineer of
the national park service has the
work in charge.
Coconino county has owned Bright
Angel trail for a number of years,
title being vested in the county prior
to the creation of the Grand Canyon
National park. A number of attempts
have at different times been made to
build other trails into the canyons
depths, but no route could be found
so accessible as that of Bright Angel
especially a route having it's upper
terminal near the big Fred Harvey
hotel and the town of Grand Canyon.
A year or SO ago, the congressional
national parks committee made an
offer to purchase the trail from the
county in order that the entire park
might be under the jurisdiction of the
park service. The offer was accepted
by the board of supervisors, but on
referendum to the people was voted
down. Members of the congressional
committee had stated that unless the
offer to purchase was accepted that
the government would build a trail of
it's own, but this was regarded in
some quarters as a threat incapable
of fulfillment. The fact that the offer
of the government was tied up to the
proposition that the money be spent
on an approach road to the canyon
was resented by many of the voters,
who expressed the opinion that the
government should have an approach
road regardless of the sale of the
Bright Angel trail.

PLANS ALL LAID
TO PROCEED TO
MAKING TRY At
BIG DEER DRIVE

1t was reported in Flagstaff yester-
day that the final wrinkles are being
ironed out in the matter of proceeding
with the attempt of George McCor-
mick to herd and drive from 5000 to
5000 deer from the over-crowded
range north of Grand Canyon, to the
forests of the south.
Negotiations had been tied up for
week or more, owing to the inability
of Mccormick, leader of the move
ment, to secure exclusive moving pic
ture rights, which he expected to sell
at good figure to aid in financing
the drive. Without this aid McCor-
mick said he could not pay the ex-
pense of from fifty to one hundred
cowboys, drift fences, and pack sup
plies into the almost inaccessible
country Governor Hunt had refused
to give this exclusive right to McCor-
mick, because of lack of jurisdiction,
and the matter was taken up with
park officials at Washington, who on
Wednesday evening notified Superin-
tendent Rutledge of the Kaibab Forest,
to grant the exclusive right to Nc
COrmick, and protect him in it. Pict-
ure men from the Lasky studio are
now at Flagstaff awaiting the begin
ming of the drive.
However, there seems to be a little
hitch there yet. Lasky wants time
to arrange plot and incidents of
Zane Gray movie story around the
transportation of the herd and time
to get the actors on the ground. Also
Zane Gray has asked exclusive news
no
the park during the drive. Whether
this can or will be given is not yet
known.
Mccormick is now trying to secure
financial backing for the project,
which is expected by those in close
touch with the situation to be forth
coming within day or two.
Three men, held on charges of po-
session of deer out of season follow
ing their arrest on the outskirts of
the Kaibab National forest where they
slew nine deer under permit au-
thorized by the forestry service, were
released on $50 bail bond each when
their cases were brought before
justice of the peace at Flagstaff
Sheriff w. A. Campbell and Coun-
ty Attorney Harrison of Coconino
county, who caused the arrests in tthe
Kaibab at the direction of Governor
Hunt, returned to Flagstaff after the
arrests. After a consultation with
District Forester Rutledge, it was
agreed no further action would be
taken if the forester adhered to
policy of issuing no more hunting
permits until the matter is settled
between state and federal authorities.
Sheriff Campbell said the nine deer
taken from the three hunters were in
good flesh and asserted there was no
immediate necessity. for shooting the
deer to prevent the great herd from
starving. He added that federal au-
thorities in the Kaibab are willing to
do anything reasonable" to aid the
state in the problem.

Large Party of Tourists
Expected w e d n esday

Charles L. Murphy, secretary of the
Winslow Commercial club, was ad-
vised last week that tourist party
of possibly as many as 160 people,
would arrive in Winslow on Decem-
ber 3, on their way from New York
to Los Angeles.
The route is laid out by the Motor
way Tours, Inc, of New York, and
the prospectus enclosed in the letter
to Mr.. Murphy describes elaborate
plans on the part of the management
to provide every convenience and
comfort for their patrons. The motor
train is said to consist of four lux
urious Pierce-Arrow 20-passenger par
lor cars, equipped with deeply up
holstered individual chairs. A stop
will be made at Petrified Forest on
the way from Springerville to Wins
low, and the party will remain here
all night. All night stops are made
at hotels.
Manager o. Root of the local Har-
vey House had been advised of the
visit of the party, not however by the
head of the Harvey system, but by
the promoters of the tours. He stat
ed that the Harvey house could not
possibly accommodate so large a
crowd. He is awaiting wire instruc-
ton as to the exact number of peo-
pie in the caravan. Mr. Murphy has
written to the party, and he expects
to reach them at Albuquerque, as to
their size and to learn other parti-
culars.

CLOSE TO MANUELITA

Fireman Woodmansee of eastbound
local freight found the partially buried
body of a. woman near the side track
at Manuelita station last Saturday.
While waiting on the siding for the

alongside the track, and Mr.. Wood
mansee and Allen Good, engineer,
started to chase a jackrabbitt across
the right-of-way. Mr.. Woodmansee
started to pick up an old shoe he saw
handy to throw at the rabbit, but
found it attached to the body of the
woman.
Investigation later revealed that the
body was that of a Mexican woman,
the wife of a Santa Fe section hand
Identity was made through the
shoes which we're recognized by
friends. The husband of the woman
had been missing for several weeks,

friends that she had left the country
with her husband. He was reported
in Ell Paso and Juarez a few days
ago.
The body, which appeared to have
been buried about six weeks, was in
such state that removal was impos-

Council Orders Signs
To Be Put Up At Dip

Signs will soon be erected at the
dip, low place in the main high
way near the edge of town, which
usually is full of water, stating that
the pit is concrete bottomed, and
therefore safe to drive through. In
the past many drivers have feared
to drive into the water thinking the
bottom must be mud, and have there
fore gone around, getting stuck in
the mud at the sides. The signs will
be readable from both directions, and
it is hoped to eliminate much of the
annoyance occasioned strangers.

Washington, Nov 1S.--Washing- ton may soon add to its other at tainmcnts that of the business meet ing center of the country. The re- ccntly-opencd auditorium in the new home of the chamber Of commerce of the United States. its officials here say, will soon become tho rcn. dc2vOus of special lines in tho com mcrcial world. They point to the gathering of the chamber of com morco secretaries from over the country in tho auditorium as inc forerunner of similar conclavcs, where business men of kindred in- tercst will discuss their common problems in a home Of their own.
 As evidence Of the dlyershcation of these special units within the national chamber, the organizations roster reveals the varied scope of the activities of Mir. American Rusi. ness Man. The American Cotton Waste Exchange, the American Spice Trade Association, The Amer ican Tack Manufacturers AssoCia- ton. the National Selected Moru- clans, the International Acetylenc Association, the Hydraulic society, the Better Bedding Alliance of America, tho National Aircraft In derwriters Association, the Com pressed Air society the National Association Of TaXlcab Owners, the Plate Glass Insurance Exchange of , New York and the United States Mark Association appear fin the litany Of the business units.
