REV. HARRIS
IS HONORED
At SERVICE


The union service at the Congrs
gaticnal church on Sunday eve
mig was in the nature of a fare
well for Rev. Henry Harris, who
leaves this week for his new field
at Grass Lake, Mich. Rev. Harris
was the speaker and took for his
subject, "The Church of the New
Era" The speaker said that time S
have changed, the church is doing
a bigger work today than fifty year
ago, yet it is not receiving the at
tention OF the young people. Years
ago, the church was the only di-
version offered young people, to-
day there are hundred other at
fractions. The church should
adapt itself to the changing condi-
lions.
In New Testament times, twelve
apostles Ind charge of one church.
They had no time for finances. ev-
en- though there were SO many,
and secured several others to as
sist. Aside from the pastor of our
modern church the work is large
" done by fifty per cent Of the
members, the others do not care
for their share of the burden.
His solution was more education
to bring about change of atti-
tude, to accomplish a spiritual adj
vanCemcnt.

Ellsworth Has Encounter with Large Black Bear
 On Kenai-Seward Road

Yellowstone of Glacier National Parks have nothing on the Seward district, according to Harry Els worth, proprietor of the Ellsworth Taxi Service, for yesterday, while conveying a load of tourists in from Kenai lake one of the largest black bears he has ever seen in this re- zion, stepped out of the brush and onto the Resurrection bridge, at Mile 3, forcing him to bring the car to halt
 T he bear was full grown and eyi- dently during it's years of roaming around Kenai peninsula area it had never before seen a car so after per- forming divers calisthenics and nu- merous dances, including the cake walk for the passengers in the car, he slowly advanced, shifting. Fear ing the large animal was of mischiev- ous inclinations, the engine was thrown into reverse and as the bear approached, the car backed away. Ellsworth was backing at the rate of about six knots when the bear heard the call of the wild, and called it a day, much to the qualification of the occupants of the car, for not a gun was on the ground, neither was their anything resembling a pick handle.
 To meet bear on this road is be- gining to be a pleasureable annoy ing occurrence, so hereafter, MT. Els worth contemplates carrying a few ripe bananas.

DEADCOMMANDER TELLS DANGERS
 TO AIR CRAFT
AIR BUMPS AND BODIES CHIEF DANGERS WITH ELECTRICAL
 STORMS NEXT
Place Strains On Structure
Dirgibles Must Follow Definite Track Which Makes It Possible to
 Chart Arways and Currents

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. (P)- Commander Lansdowne wrote to an aviation manual that "serious air bumps and eddies are the chief dan gers to dirigible with electrical storms next. They are capable of putting great stress on the structure of an airship. They follow very dei- nitely a track which makes it possi- ble to chart dangerous areas. If such a chart were available it would be poor airmanship for any captain to al low a thunderstorm to overtake his ship. Instruments for detecting the direction of these disturbances would be of great value, as for a long time pilots will of necessity be flying over uncharted or only partly charted re- gions."

WASH HENRY, SQUARE
MAN, HONORED PIONEER

CONTINUED from Page One)

Mr.. Henry was an all-around min
ing man, developing claims at Grand
Canyon, and was connected with the
building of the Grand View trail to
the Colorado river. Accompanied by
Mr. Tolford he explored the delta re-
gion of the lower Colorado in search
of the feathers Of rare birds. His
travels extended from the Gulf of
California to the Utah line Later,
until Arizona voted for prohibition, he
ran a popular saloon and faro game
in Phoenix.
In late years he spent his summers
with road gangs, on the Old Trails
highway. Winters were devoted to the
trapping of fur-bearing animals in
distant districts. He drove a burro
team during the last years of his
ife, coming to Flagstaff once or twice
year to dispose of his pelts. He
vas here on election day in Novem-

Among men of the early Nlays,
Wash Henry was rated highly as an
honorable man who played clean
game in all his contacts with his fell
low men; whose word could be abso-
lutely depended upon. He was big,

GAVE EACH GUEST PIONEER
+ HOME $40 CHRISTMAS

Yesterday morning each guest OF
the Pioneers home here received q
ten-dollar gold piece as a Christmas
present. The identity of the g.vel
was not divulged, the following greet
ing to every pioneer being the only
word that went with the gift:
with all kinds of good wishes
From An Old Timer"
Even Supt Perry Hall, who handed
the money to the surprised trail
blazers,' did not know from whence
it came, it having been placed with
him by a go-between, whose lips were
sealed.
Mr.. Hall notified each pioneer to
come from breakfast to the lobby of
the home, telling them that, if they
failed to do SO, they would miss some
thing. When they finished breakfast
all of them needed the suggestions of
the superintendent, and, in mingled
surprise and appreciation, they re-
ceived the unusual donation. 1t was
the first time anything of the kind
had taken place at the home, and
since no one was overlooked, it safe
ly can be said there has been no
Christmas at the local institution quite
as cheerful as yesterday.
Many of the pioneers soon were
down town, spreading to their friends
word of the generous remembrance
they had received, and the apprecia-
tion Of those valiant and proud Ari-
zonans who now are on the Sunset
trail, was beautiful to see. 1t gave
to mary Of them, who did not expect
to get a gift of any consequence, a
new meaning to Christmas, and every
heart at the home was gladdened,
every stout and patient spirit thrilled
with new happiness.
There was much conjecture as to
whom credit should be given, but all
efforts of the pioneers to find out who
had not forgotten them were futile.
Under the veil of anonymity, he is
hidden from them, but he cannot help
but know of the cheerfulness his gen.
erous act bestowed.-Prescott Courier.

ARIZONA'S new CAVE
MAKES KENTUCKY'S
LOOK LIKE 80 CENTS

Arizona has rival of the Carlsbad
cavern, believed to be the largest in
the world.
The Arizona cave has lately been
discovered. 1t is called Colossal cave,
and is located in the Rincon noun
tains, range east of Tucson.
All that is known is that Colossal
cave consists of a gigantic network
of tunnels and chambers. 1t has not
been explored with any degree Of
thoroughness. National Geographic
society, which explored Carlsbad cav
erns, has the exploration of Colossal
cave as part of its 1925 program, and
it is estimated a week, possibly two
weeks, will be required.
1t is known to be larger than Nam
moth cave in Kentucky, and may be
as large as the Carlsbad caverns. 1t
IS within 10 miles of Vail station on
she Southern Pacific. The state
highway also passes through Vail.
Wait until good road can be built
from Vail to Colossal cave, and then
watch the Southern Pacific and the
Tucson chamber of commerce tell the
world about it. It will be puller of
passenger traffic.
We have scarcely begun yet to eX-
plot the scenic possibilities of the
southwest.

DELIGHTFUL WINTER
CAMPING in CANYON

An invitation to winter travellers to
visit the Grand Canyon national park
in Arizona has been issued by the
U. S. interior department.
The Grand Canyon, principal fea-
ture of the park, is the greatest ex-
ample of stream erosion in the world,
and is one of the worlds supreme
wonders. Unlike many of the vaca-
ton spots Of the United States, the
canyon can be visited every day in
the year, and hotel Accommodations are
always available.
During the winter snow falls in the
pine forests along the rim, but al
though the upper portions are snow
covered, the floor of the canyon is
warm and comfortable the year round.
Up to November, public camp grounds
on the rim are available, but after
that time, camping is more comfort
able within the inner canyon. Visi-
tors who are tingling from the exhil-
arating frosty air as they start down
the trail are delighted when they dis
cover, deep in the canyon, the most
fragile of flowers blooming.
70 really know the Grand Canyon
in its ever-changing moods, a stay of
a week or two should be made.

HUNT ORDERS SURVEY OF
RIVER; PROTEST AGAINST
BOULDER CANYON DAMSlTE|

A Phoenix surveying party left
Sunday on an expedition designed to
end definitely the dispute as to the
elevation of the Spencer canyon dam
site on the Colorado river.
The departure of the party was or
dered at conference between Gov.
George w. p. Hunt and score of
Phoencians, at which the governor or
dered an appropriation of $500 to pay
the expense of the survey.
Following the conference, tele-
gram was drafted by those who had
talked with the governor, and it was
sent to the Arizona delegation in con-
gress, expressing determined opposi-
tion to the Swing-Johnson bill now
pending. The telegram assails mo,
tives prompting members of the Cali
fornia delegation to support the
Swing-J ohnsons measure, and an
nounces that findings of the survey
party will be submitted to congress
Tor its consideration.
The survey party is headed by
Frank P. Trott, former surveyor gen
eral for the general land office; How
ard S. Reed, chief engineer for the
Roosevelt Water Conservation dis
trict, and Earl Parker, formerly engi-
neer for the Santa Fe and now with
the state highway department. Cooks,
helpers and attendants completed the
party, which is expected to be away
three or four weeks.
The uncertainty as to the elevation
at Spencer canyon grew out of the
discrepancy between the statements
given by Colonel Kelly, chief engi-
neer for the federal water commits
sion, and E. C. LaRue. Colonel Kelly
stated the elevation is 1105 feet. Mr..
LaRue placed the elevation at 1860 or
155 feet above that given by Colonel
Kelly.
The definite establishment Of the
correct elevation, it was declared, is
one of the most important matters
concerned in the development of the
Colorado river. Only by knowing the
4 exact elevation, it was declared, can
81 1e determined to just what height
aarns could be built, whether various
| proposed dams would flood other
4 sites, how much power can be de-
/ veleoped, and how much land could
! be irrigated.
ADVOCATES OF JIe nlgH line cdndl Oh
Arizona point to the Spencer canyon
development as the water supply of
the irrigation project they advocate.
| The telegram sent to members Of
the Arizona congressional delegation
after the conference did not mention
specific sites, but declared Boulder
canyon development would prevent for
all time the irrigation of millions of
acres of land in Arizona.
