ONE NIGHT BY MOTOR
FLAGSTAFF---LOS ANGELES

So far as known locally, the best
time via automobile from Flagstaff
to Los Angeles was made by DR.. E.
S. F7lett of this city and Harry Tell
yer of San Diego, who is in charge of
the manufacture of the concrete pipe
for the springs to reservoir pipe line.
They left here week before last
in Harry's Studebaker six roadster at
four in the afternoon. Taking lit
tie more than an hour for a meal at
Needles and a little less than a hour
at Barstow, they were in Los Angeles
at eight the next morning. They took
turns in driving. Harry insists he
can make the trip in IL hours, but
DR.. Flett says 13 hours would be more
like it. They came back, driving easy,
in Is hours.
Just this side of the Topock bridge,
on their return, they were stopped by
two officers, one armed with a 30-30
rifle. After a casual inspection they
were allowed to come along. The of
ficers were on the watch for stolen

TALENTED EXPLORERS
WENT DRY WHILE LOST
In WALNUT CANYON

Wandering for a day and hall
without water for themselves and
three horses within few miles OF
Flagstaff was the unusual and un-
pleasant experience of George Law,
writer, and his wife, Leila Lockwood
Law, artist, who were seeking on
horseback a place where they might
cross Walnut canyon from the south
side. Mr.. and Mrs. Law had been
camping at Lake Mary. They started
for Flagstaff through the box canyon.
They found their only exit was on
the side away from town. Being UNI
familiar with the country they at
tempted to reach the railroad by go
ing east, threading innumerable side
canyons without discovery of water.
At the end of day and half
they headed south and luckily reached
Marshall lake. They were in Flag
staff Saturday for supplies to last a
week or more, which they will spend
at Walnut canyon, exploring it from
this side.
Mr.. and Mrs. Law are residents of
Palm Springs, Calf, and are travel
ing off the beaten paths ON horseback
and with pack horse. They had mo-
tored in this part of the state before,
but hoped to see more interesting
spots with horses. They crossed the
Colorado desert to Blythe and fol-
lowed Bill Williams fork to its head
in the box canyons near Peoples val.
ley south of Prescott From there
they visited points of interest on
Beaver creek and the Verde and then
headed this way for the plateau coun-
try. Their chief difficulty has been
the lack of feed for the horses. The
Stoneman lake region, they say, is
the prettiest and most attractive
they have found SO far. They plan to
visit in the neighborhood of Flagstaff
for some time, sketching and collect
ing material for future articles.

BOY SCOUTS, PARENTS
AND LEADERS, GUESTS
ROTARY CLUB TUESDAY

That Boy Scouts can eat a good
meal daily was demonstrated Tues
day night when they and their par
ents and leaders met with the Ro-
tarians and Rotaryanns at City Park
Recreational hall for dinner.
The amount of food put away was
considerable Following its stowage
President M. c. Fronske called the
Rotarians to order in regular session
and then turned the gavel over to
r. M Gassman, chairman for the day,
who played his trump card when he
introduced Col. W. B. Greeley, chief
of the United States forest service,
of Washington, d. G.
Colonel Greeley's talk was highly
appropriate. An ardent scout patron
himself, he frequently heads eXpedi-
tions of scouts on hikes into the
woods along the Potomac and so is in
hearty accord with their principles
and ambitions. He spoke of the aid
expected from scouts in helping pre-
vent and put out forest fires and told
interesting facts concerning the work
of his department in perpetuating
our forests.
Tom Bellwood led in spirited sing
ing, Sergeant-at-Arms Ray Babbitt
collected fines. and then Scout Exc
cutive C. S. Mccormick hiked every
one out doors, to gather around q
huge bonfire. There, the scouts
grouped in front of him, he told them
about the big summer camp to be
held at Mormon lake next month.
B. A. Cameron, chairman camping
committee of Grand Canyon council Of
boy scouts, and Capt. ]. B. Wright.
scout commissioner, talked to the boys
about the good time coming.
All local scouts who intend going
to summer camp are urged to rush In
their applications so that arrange
ments may be made in ample time fol
their accommodation there.

LAFAYETTE BEARD TO
BE BURIED TODAY

Lafayette J. Beard died at Mercy
hospital on Wednesday following
several months illness, and the fu-
neral will be held this morning at 10
o'clock from Flagstaff Undertaking
parlors.
Mr.. Beard was one of the best
known of the old-time cowboys in this
section. He had been working for al
Sanford at Seligman for the last sew
eral years up to the time he was
taken i'll last winter.
Mr.. Beard was born in Missouri in
1868. He rode the cattle ranges in
Texas as a young man, then went up
into the Colorado country. He first
came to Flagstaff in 1905 and worked
for numerous cattle owners here, in
Guiding Babbitt Bros. Trading Co. and
Les Hart. He became member OF
the local Elks lodge in 1920, and that
order cared for him during his last
illness. SO far as known his sole
survivor is daughter, who lives IN

MUST DIP CATTLE OR THEY
CAN'T SHIP TO CALIFORNIA

DIR. S. E. Douglass, state veterin-
arian, in a letter to the Coconino
Sun advises that California authori-
ties will not accept Arizona cattle
coming from quarantined areas unless
they have been dipped twice under
state or federal supervision. Scabby
cattle will not be accepted by Cali
fornia under any circumstances even
after dipping. Cattle from quaran-
tined areas showing no indication of
disease will be accepted only after
two dippings. California insists that
DIR. Douglass enforce these instruc-
tions.
DIR. Douglass says his office is
meeting with some opposition from
parties who claim their cattle are not
infected. If it is possible to secure
cooperation of all parties concerned
there is no question but the outbreak
can be eradicated within one or two
years. Should he be hindered in his
program and the infection be allowed
to spread, it will take many years,
lots of hard work and money to rid
the ranges of infection, while the
economic loss through quarantine by
other states almost annihilates the
cattle industry in Arizona.
DIR. Douglass says his office fully
realizes the deplorable condition of
the cattle and cattlemen in several
sections of the state. 1t is unfortun-
ate, but it is up to each one to do his
part that the industry may be saved.

RAILWAY MAN HERE

Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Raney Of Lit
tie Rock, Arkansas, are spending a
few weeks in Flagstaff for the bene-
fit of Mr.. Raney's health, on the re-
commentator of DR.. Greene of st.
Louis.
Mr.. Raney has for 33 years been a
conductor on the Missouri Pacific
railroad and his. ill health was caused
by an injury to his head few years
ago in railroad accident, which af-
fected his nervous system. Mr.
Raney is a first cousin of the late
All Sims, who first recognized the
value of Lake Mary as summer re-
sort and leased the ground there from
the government.
Mr.. Raney has travelled up and
down the west coast into Oregon,
Washington and California, but is
stout in his statements that DR..
Greene only told him half what he
found here.

FLAGSTAFF BASEBALL
TEAM WON WITH EASE
SUNDAY AT WILLIAMS

That Flagstaff is not weak sis
ter of the Northern Arizona league
when it comes to hitting, was demon
strated to the satisfaction of the fol-
lowers of the local baseball contin-
gent Sunday at Williams when it
took the Williams nine into camp to
the tune of Ia to 3. The game was
played at Williams.
Flagstaff hit the ball safely 20
times. Freddy Orosco, student at
the college here, and Daniel" Boone,
veteran of thousand baseball ac-
tivities, registered homers. Hogsette
had busy day at the bat, hitting
safely four times out of six chances.
Cecil Mccormick, well-known local
boy, did the rubber work for Flag
staff and was strong all the way. He
allowed Williams 10 hits but kept
them scattered, striking out IL men
and allowing only two to reach first
base on balls.
The only error made by Flagstaff
occurred in the eighth when Burns
muffed one at short. Williams
chalked up six errors. Williams used
three pitchers to stop the slaughter
Flagstaff fans are satisfied that
the local club have the makings of a
first-rate aggregation. Boone is a
veteran and while he does not care to
play the third corner, his fielding has
been exceptionally good, and if moth
ing else holds him, his hitting should
cinch him the berth.
Dick Moore, local college boy, i'm
proved his batting eye Sunday and if
he continues to maui the ball, the
likelihood is that he will be used all
summer. Moore is young and has
natural ability.

made some pretty catches in the out
field. Amos, after hard run, picked
up a fly in left that made the fans

STATE SHEEPMEN MEET
HERE MAY e AGAINST
CUTTING DOWN PERMITS

Sheepmen of the. state have been
called to Flagstaff for a special meet
ing on May %, to present arguments
against the proposed reduction Of
sheep grazing on the national forests.
Colonel W. B. Greeley, chief of the
national forest service, of Washing
ton, ID. c., who is spending several
weeks making a personal inspection
of grazing and pine reproduction con-
ditions in the national forests of this
section, will preside at the meeting,
which was called by Leut.-Col. Harry
B. Embach, secretary of the Arizona
Wool Growers association.
The forestry officials plan reduc-
tion of 44.6 per cent on sheep and
33 per cent on cattle grazing in our
local national forests. This reduction
is to go into effect one-third each
year, beginning next year. 1t would
cut the number of sheep grazing in
the Coconino national forest from
the present number of 10000, at the
rate of about 10000 year to maxi
mum Of 10000 at the end of the three
year reduction period.
While it is understood the cattle
men will also protest against the re-
duction, SO far as known no meeting
has been called for that purpose.
The reduction on sheep will affect
all class B outfits, that is, those in
Guiding 1000 or more sheep.
The purpose of reduction is partly
because it is believed by the forestry
men that the range capacity is stead
lily growing less from being over
stocked; and also because in recent
years stock has developed liking for
young pines and therefore has be-
come a menace to reproduction. This
is condition peculiar to this forest,
as nothing of the kind has been noted
in the others. At the local forest
service office are specimens of pines
showing twelve rings, indicating they
are IL years old, that have been
dwarfed to six to ten inches in height
by their tops frequently having been
grazed off.
Accompanying Colonel Greeley in
his tour through this section are: c:
H. Rachford of Washington, national
forest inspector; F. c. w. Pooler dis
trict forester, of Albuquerque, and his
assistants, Ray E. Marsh and John
Kerr.
Secretary Embach has called the
special meeting for the 23rd at the
courthouse, Flagstaff, at $3.50 a. m.

DEMURRER SUSTAINED
IN HOTEL INJUNCTION

Judge ]. E. Jones in superior court
on Monday sustained the demurrer
filed by C. B. Wilson to the injunc-
ton asked by John Weatherford,
owner of the Weatherford hotel,
against Mrs. L. r. Hall, Lessee, by
which Mr.. Weatherford sought to
have the new five-year lease set aside
and to thereby regain possession.
Thus the first hurdle in what may
develop into series of legal athletics
has been won by Mrs. Hall. The case
will likely go to a jury in the near
future. The term of the new lease be-
gan Thursday of last week. Mr
Weatherford claims it should be de-
clared invalid because his wife die
not sign it, the hotel he asserts, be-
ing community property. Mrs. Wea-
therford did not sign the preceding
five-year lease.

COUNCIL RAISED THE
RATES TO TOURISTS

City council Monday night increased
the price of camping in the city tour
ist camp grounds. Formerly the
charge per car was 25 cents a night
or S1.25 a week. The new prices are
80 cents night or 81 week. This
includes camp-site, wood lights and
water, as we'll as various other privi-
leges afforded in what is generally
conceded to be the finest tourist camp
ground along the National Old Trails
highway.
The 20 new two-room cottages will
soon be completed. Each will be fur
nished, like the 25 older cottages, with
two beds, each with mattress, and
stove and table. The old cottages rent
for a dollar a day or six dollars a
week. The new ones will rent for
$1.50 a day or eight dollars week.

where they will make a filing on the
water rights of a tract of govern.
ment land near the peaks. The tract
is within that on which c. N. Ber-
telling recently asked for the water
rights. While the city has no objec-
ton to the granting of water rights
on most of the area Mr.. Berteling has
filed on, there is one particular sec
ton that it is desired to retain within
the city's control.
