AN APPRECIATION OF FIR. CYP VABRE
to the late Rev. Fr Vabre by c. Wilson
at meeting of Flagstaff Rotary club:

lasting debt of gratitude for his successful
efforts to procure and hold for us the Old
Trails and the k-tO-Park highways.
Father Vabre was a true and loyal Amer
lean, devoted to the constitution and the laws
of his adopted country. He waited not for the
call of his country, but both in peace and war
found a way to serve, even beyond the line
of duty. His service in time of peace is known
to all who knew him. His activities during the
late war are known to all of us. He worked in
cessantly in Liberty Loan and Red Cross
drives and other wartime activities.
II was particularly impressed with his
work among the foreign element during the
draft. He prevented many claims of exemp-
tiOn on the ground of being an alien and was
the cause of many such claims being with
drawn.
Father Vabre's service to his community is
too well known to us to require comment.
Many of you will recall his activities during
the flu epidemic. Perhaps no citizen of CO.
conino county gave his time and energy more
unstintingly than Father Vabre. He admin
stered untiringly to Catholic and Protestant
alike and not few people in COcOninO county
owe their lives to his service of love.
81 wish professional ethics permitted my
telling you of some of Father Vabre's work
for the unfOrtunates who found themselves in
the meshes of the law. He was Big Brother
to the unfortunate, and many reformed boy
and girl, and many a happy family have
Father Vabre to thank for having saved them
from misfortune, disgrace and dishOnOr.
Father Vabre's place is going to be diff
ficult one to fill. There are doubtless other
priests as big and brOad-minded as he. 1t is
quite possible to find other men who are as
good boosters as he. There are other citizens
just as patriotic and loyal as he. There are
others quite as capable in the religious and
educational work. There are others who can
take his place in the good road work. There
are perhaps others who are his equal as Big
Brother, but it is most improbable that a man
can be found who possesses all the virtues and
all the. qualifications that were possessed by
Father Vabre and who can win the same place
in our hearts that he has merited and won.
I'VE miss Father Vabre today and shall
miss him more and more as time goes on. He
has passed from our midst; he has gone to his
reward, but he shall never be forgotten. His
works shall live after him and future genera
tiOns shall be inspired by his example"
The Coconino sun., 1924-02-22


eve mourn today the passing of one of our
most enthusiastic ROtarians and one OF our
most esteemed and most beloved citizens
perhaps few men in the southwest have
more friends than Father Vabre, and they
all join with us in our grief.
"But we, whose privilege it has been to
know him intimately for many years; we who
have seen something of his activities in every
movement for the betterment of the cOmmun-
ity and the state in which we live; we who
know of his activities in the religious and ed
ucatiOnal world, and of his efforts to Amer
icanize the foreign element and raise their
standard of citizenship; we who have dined
with him once a week for the past three years
and have heard his inspiring talks; we who
have had the benefit of his advice and have
worked with him and under his leadership,
must necessarily feel more keenly our own
loss in the death of this great and good man
and realize the loss to the community he has
served SO tirelessly and SO faithfully.
Father Vabre's success in his chosen pro-
fesSiOn never turned his head, but his adher-
ence to. the simple life he followed, the simple
truths he was taught and the simple lessons
he learned in his humble bOyhOod home in
France, is but another evidence of his great
ness.
Father Vabre's extensive travels, his thor
ough technical and practical education, his in
innate acquaintance with big men of affairs
in every walk of life, his keen sense of hu-
NOR, and his genial nature have prompted us
to draft him on all occasions in the service of
our club and our community, and he never
failed to respond.
Father Vabre was devout Christian. He
practiced his religion in his relations with his
fellow man. He preached it only in his
church. An earnest, loyal and devoted CathO-
lie, he was most tolerant of those of other
creeds and denominations. He accorded to
every man the right he claimed to worship
God as he chose.
I'm the passing of Father Vabre Flagstaff
and northern Arizona have lost a most con-
sistent booster. He loved his adopted home
and has done more, perhaps, than any one
person to spread its fame throughout the
world.
9sThe history and the establishment of good
roads would be very incomplete without the
story of the activities of Father Vabre. Good
roads was his hobby and we owe him an ever

The Flagstaff Junior Chamber of
Commerce, which had been under con-
sideration for the past month, was

EASTERN STAR WORTHY
GRAND MATRON WAS
A FLAGSTAFF VISITOR

Mrs. Cora Frame, most worthy
grand matron of general grand chap
ter, having jurisdiction over the
United States, Canada, Cuba, Porto
Rico. and China, was the guest of the
Grand Canyon chapter of the Eastern
Star here Monday. Mrs. Frame had
come to Arizona to be present at the
meeting of the Grand Chapter of this
state, recently held at Globe. 1t was
due to the influence of DIR. E. S. Mil
ler that she stopped off at Flagstaff.
DIR. Miller had wired ahead the
time that she would arrive and as the
train pulled in a delegation was there
to greet her. She was driven out to
Sunset mountain and other points of
interest about town, and showed her
appreciation of the beauty which sur
rounds us here.
Monday night banquet was given
in her honor at the Commercial Cafe
by the local chapter of the Eastern
Star at which many members were
present. The banquet was followed
by meeting at which Mrs. Frame
spoke on the work of the Eastern
Star and told of her appreciation of
the extreme courtesy shown her here.
At the close of the meeting she left
for New Mexico to attend the Grand
Chapter meeting in that state.

COUNTY ROAD BOND CASH
CAN BE USED WITHOUT AN
ELECTION SAYS HARRISON

It is believed that the county road
bond money now tied up in bank can
be transferred to the Flagstaff Wins
low highway, without having to sub
nit the question of diversion to the
vote of the taxpayers, was the an
nouncement made at Tuesdays meet
ing of Flagstaff Rotary club by Joe
B. Rickel, clerk county board Of SUI
pervisors.
There is more than $4,000 of this
money, borrowed on road bonds voted
four years ago, $25, 1000 being for the
Flagstaff Oak Creek highway, $685.
900 for the Williams Clarkdafe high
way, the balance being a small
amount left over from mainline Old
Trails work.
When the state declared the Oak
Creek and Clarkdale projects inelig-
ible to federal aid, it left the money
fastened up. If it is diverted to the
Flagstaff Winslow road, the federal
government will match it on basis
of 61-39, that is, will put up SO per
cent of the money. The state will
help out and if the money is released
the work will be done this summer.

ENGINEERING EXPERT SAID YESTERDAY
SCHULZ CANYON DAM FEASIBLE, SAFE

John Eastwood, hydraulic dam
builder and expert engineer, yes.
terday visited Schulz Canyon
and declared a multiple arch dam
perfectly feasible; that it can
be built 80 feet high, to impOund
150,000,00O gallons of water, or
higher if desired; that a 90-foOt
dam will cost in the neighbOr-
hood of $1OO,UOO, and that as
for safety, he will have it in
sured for 10 years or as much
longer as desired.
Thus again does the proposition
seem to revert to the idea city coun-
Gil has tenaciously held to for some
time that Schulz Canyon is the
proper place to store water in the pro-
posed enlargement of our water sup
ply.
AS told in The Sun last week, En-
gineers Davenport of the Santa Fe
Railroad company and Smith of Burns
& Mcdonnell, Flagstaff consulting
water engineers, visited Schulz Can
yon and decided the soil would not
hold dam.
But the Santa Fe officials seem not
to have been satisfied with that YER
dict, for Mr. Davenport wired city
council the first of this week that,
while he and Mr.. Smith still believed
the dam proposition unfeasible and
not so good as the one to build new
reservoir, Mr.. Eastwood had been ask

WILL MARLAR AND MRS.

Will Marlar and Mrs. Anna Yuell

w. T. Loomis, and left at once for
the southern part of the state on their
honeymoon, Mr.. Marlar also to at
tend to business matters for the state
pharmacy board, of which he is the
president.
The bride is wen known in Flag
staff, and has many friends here. For
some time she had been chief clerk
at Mr.. Marlar's main drug store. Mr..
Marlar has been one of Flagstaff's
most prominent business men for sew
eral years, and also has a flourishing
box factory in Phoenix. Their friend
are awaiting the return of the new
ly-weds and opportunity to extend
them the usual Fluctuations.

SIGNS ON FOREST LANDS
ALONG ROADS MUST GO BY
MARCH /, SAYS UNCLE SAM

The U. S. forestry service men are
engaged in a campaign to remove all
signboards which are located on nat
ional forest lands along highways.
Forest Supervisor Ed Miller of Flag
staff hopes that all of these signs will
be removed or destroyed by the first
of March so when the tourists begin
to arrive in crowds they can see the
scenery, unsmirched by these disfig-
urements. Mr.. Miller says that he has
received many complaints by tourists
because of this form of advertising.
The tourists say that they came out
here to view the wonders of nature
rather than signboards.

tising," Mr.. Miller said, "is highly de-
batable, since few tourists really pay

go below the surface of the ground
in Schulz canyon more than five feet,
though they could go farther if de-
sired. He said the cost would be
around 100000, while the cost of a
new reservoir, to hold only third as
much water, would be about $240,000.
AS to insurance, he said the dam
could be insured indefinitely, though
he thought ten years would be enough
to satisfy people here, for if the dam
held that long it would prove it's safe
ty.
A multiple arch dam takes much
less material than the ordinary type.
Tt consists of series of arches, re-
inforced with webs, and presents its
face to the water in such manner
that the pressure against it COM
presses the material, adding to it CO.
hesiveness.
Mr.. Eastwood believes it will be pos
sible to crush rock on the ground,
rather than to haul in sand for the
concrete work and that the result will
be much better material than sand
would be.
With Mr.. Eastwood in the inspection
of the canyon yesterday were T. A.
Riordan, Councilmen +. c. Slipher and
B. A. Cameron, Water Superintendent
John Marshall and City Clerk Clar-
ence Pulliam.
There was a meeting of citizens
with Mr.. Eastwood and council late
yesterday afternoon at which Mr..
Eastwood convincingly explained the
feasibility of the Schulz Canyon dam.
