eventually becoming the numbering
center of America
The worlds largest uncut pine for
est is located in Arizona, a forest es-
timated to have 8,000,000,000 board
feet of standing timber.
The forest, covering an area several
hundred miles square in Apache and
Navajo counties, is primarily of pine
1t is known to forestry officials as
Americas greatest virgin forest.
Some idea of the tremendous amount
of timber in the forest is had in re-
ducing the total number of board feet
to miles. The estimated lumber in
this vast wooded tract would make
a path one foot wide and extending
1,515,1 ,151.5 miles in length.
To be more explicit, it would en-
circle the earth total of about so
times. Or, if it were possible to join
the lumber together, it would make
a wooden roadway 60 feet wide all
the way around the globe.
Reducing the. figures to still more
common terms, it would be possible
to erect enough atwood houses to
house the entire population of Great
er New York City. 1t is estimated
that 1,904,762 average size homes of
seven rooms could be constructed from
the timber in the forest. This is bas-
ed on an average of 4,2O0 board feet
to the home.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
STARTS AGITATION
FOR ROAD TO SOUTH

The Commercial club of Winslow
is beginning the new year with, as
one of their most important activi-
ties, the development of roads leading
particularly to the southern part of
the state, and active efforts toward
securing the cooperation of other
communities in working for roads
leading to and from this portion Of
Navajo county.
A meeting of the directors Of the
club will be held at the city hall this
evening, when the road conditions
will be fully discussed and perman-
ent road committee appointed. Presi-
dent William Nagle has not yet an
nounced whom he will appoint but
it is know that he has in mind mem
bers for that committee who are ac-
quainted with the needs of Winslow
and informed as to the methods of
obtaining the best possible co-opera-
tion from the county, state and gov
ernment.
The road south from here. via Sun
set Pass to connect with the highway
at point above the MogollOn rim
north of Pine, is one Of the roads on
which the club will concentrate its
efforts. A number of years ago a
great many thousand dollars was
spent on this road, an expensive
bridge was built, and the road I'M
proved with the exception of few
miles in the forest. The road has
been surveyed and graded for the
greater part of its distance, and un-
til the matter was dropped for some
reason not fully understood, it prom
ised to be one of the main highways
connecting the plateau country OF
northern Arizona with the southern
part of the state.
COcOninO county now has crews OF
men working on the road from Flag
staff to Pine, via Mormon lake, with
which road the local Commercial club
hopes to connect above the rim.
Automobile and highway clubs and
civic organizations of the Salt River
valley are putting forth fresh efforts
to have an improved highway to the
northeast part of the state, and are
working hard on the survey via Heber.
It is felt by Winslow boosters that
that route would be less feasible
from a construction standpoint than
! the route north, and would cut out a
populous portion of the north coun-
try from the use of the new road
therefore an effort will be made to
get in touch with the Salt River val
| lev organizations in an endeavor to
! have the road run north to this city
/ to connect with the National Old
/ Trails here.

LETTER CARRIER
SERVICE STARTS
THIS MORNING

The free delivery of city mail, await
ed patiently for several months, start
ed this morning, with William E. Hop
son and Joseph E. Pooler proudly
wearing the bright new mail satchels
over their shoulders.
Notification of the appointment of
HopsOn and POOler was received by
Postmaster Al. Kleindienst Wednes-
day morning. The examination was
held on December 13, but owing to
the press of Christmas business before
department officials, the selection of
carriers for Winslow was not made
until the last possible minute Be
sides the two mentioned, those who
took the examination were L. A. May
hew, Edwin Janeway, Alvin Bender
and w. r. Hicks.
Satchels, route maps, books of in
structions, blank books for the MAX
ing up of the carriers directory, and
all other paraphernalia have been in
Mr.. Kleindienst's custody for some
time and he has been fully prepared
to start the collection and delivery
of mail for several days.
1t will require a few days for the
carriers to become acquainted with
their routes, and perfect their plan of
distribution, and to familiarize them
selves with ali the names of patrons
along their routes. A little patience
will have to be exercised by the peo-
pie until the new scheme gets to
working smoothly.
The people are again advised to CO.
operate to the extent of placing mail
receptacles within the easy reach of
the carriers. Don't make him climb
unnecessary steps, or knock or stop

Meeting Of Boy Scout
Leaders Tuesday Eve.

Grady Gammage and R. K Corkhill
of Winslow, attended the meeting of
the Boy Scout leaders in the Grand
Canyon district council at Flagstaff,
Tuesday evening. Other committee
members had expected to be in at
tendance, but were unable to leave
town. Holbrook and Snowflake were
also represented.
Election of officers resulted in DR..
G. NJ. Fronske Of Flagstaff, being re-
elected district president, and Tom
Rees of Flagstaff, reelected treasur-
er. Capt. Wright was elected commits
sioner.
Consideration of the budget and the
proportionate share each city should
bear was before the meeting. 1t was
decided that the quotas were not
equitably divided, inasmuch as Wins
low has more Scouts than Flagstaff,
but bears only a small fraction of the
expense of the council

BEING
PREPARED ALONG
PROPOSED ROUTE

Word has been received by Bob
Hausler, who is attempting to have
built a chain of airports across north
ern Arizona from Albuquerque to the
coast, Evon Vogt, secretary of the
Inter-Tribal Ceremonial association
at Gallup, that that city will soon
have it's landing field completed, and
Willis J. Black of Kingman, writes
that Kingman will have a field which
aviators will be proud of and will ap-
preciate. The Rotary club there has
taken the work in charge and has i'm
proved field measuring 1000 by 1000
feet to be used as landing place.
WinsloN's field is finished and with
a few minor improvements will be
made one of the best in the west.
Holbrook will be getting their field
ready soon; Williams is on the job,
and as soon as weather permits,
site will be selected at Flagstaff,
where assurance has been given that
an airport will be built in accordance
with army regulations.
Plans for the dedication of the COM
pleted line are going forward, and in
vitations are being sent out to all
army and civilian f1iers to be present
at a big celebration in Winslow some
time in the spring, many of whom
even from so great distance as Nc
Cook Field in Cleveland, are intimat-
ing that they will be present.
The history Of transportation shows
that the race has progressed as means
of communication were develop
ed. Centuries ago in the use OF ami
NAL transportation from point to point
there resulted a means for the hous-
ing and feeding of the animals at the
various stopping points and communl-
ty centers. This through the ages
resulted in what is known in this gen
Grafton as the "livery stable" and
"feed store" Parallel to this priml-
tive travel on land we find that water
travel, in the same way, developed
docking facilities and loading and un-
loading facilities, the latter, with the
advent of the power driven water
craft, including fueling facilities. The
development of transportation by rail
brought forth the railroad terminal,
which as we know it today consists
of stations, yards (bOth for switching
and for fueling) and rOundhouses with
facilities for maintenance and repair
Then there is the recent development
of the automobiles as means OF
transportation, and this means in its
broad use today has given US what we
know as the garage" and the "filling
station So considering the develop
ment of the use of aircraft for trans
portation, it is reasonable to assume
that it will have it's demands for GER
tain facilities, and those facilities are
called "Air Ports
