BANQUET AND DANCE WILL
FEATURE FORMAL OPENING
DEPOT LATE THIS MONTH

Flagstaff's handsome new depot
will be opened formally with dinner,
dance, speeches and music, the place
the depot itself.
The opening was to have been next
Thursday night, but Tom Stahl, local
Santa Fe agent, received a telegram
yesterday from the general offices
saying that because the electrical
work may not be finished by then, the
opening would have to be postponed
a week or more.
Arrangements for the program and
all details are being worked out by
/. B. Koch, vice-president and gen
eral manager Of the Arizona Lumber
& Timber CO. Mr. Koch was asked by
the general officials Of the Santa Fe
railroad company to take charge of
arrangements, and it is especially
fitting that he should, for it was very
largely due to his energetic and un.
ceasing influence that Flagstaff was
given this wonderful new building.
1t is the railroad company's Christ
mas gift to Flagstaff, and all Flag
staff people appreciate it, for it not
only is something that long has been
needed here, but is an ornament to
the city in size, architecture and all
details something we are proud of. 1t
will take care Of our needs for years
to come until we are twice or three
times as large as now.
The formal opening likely viii
be an invitation affair There viii be
nominal charge per plate. Obvious
ly, if rot limited by invitations, there
would not be room for all who would
attend. 1t is expected that General
Manager w. K. Etter and other lead
ing officials of the railroad company
will be here, several of them being
programmed to speak.

ALFRED SKEELS RESIGNED
CHAIRMAN SUPERVISORS
JOE KELLAM In AGAIN

Chairman Alfred Skeels resigned
the chairmanship of the county board
Of supervisors at the special meeting
of the board held here at the court
house on Monday.
Mr.. Skeels presented his resignation
in writing, thereupon Immediately
moving its acceptance. r. E. Taylor
seconded the motion, which was car
ried unanimously. Then Mr.. Taylor
nominated Joe Kellam for chairman,
his election being unanimous.
Thus Mr.. Kellam, who was made
chairman of the board when it or
ganized at the first of the year, and
who a few months later was deposed
by the other two members and Mr..
Skeels elected, again takes place at
the head of the board.
Mr.. Skeels' letter of resignation
said:
"For the reason that the chairman
ship of the board of supervisors de-
mands greater sacrifice of my time
than | can afford to give at this time,
/ hereby tender my resignation as
chairman of the board, effective i'm
mediately."
1t is understood that the change in
Craftsmanship does not forecast any
changes in the personnel of county
employees. They are all regarded as
highly efficient and satisfactory.
Apparently harmony prevailed at
Mondays special meeting Mr.. Skeels
had given a great deal of time to his
work as chairman, which called him
away from home at frequent inter-
walls; hence his resignation, he said
following the meeting.
The next regular meeting of the
board will be next Monday

APPROVES CALLING II
GRAND CANYON OF ARIZ.
Grand CANYON. Nov. 28. 10.

Grand Canyon, Nov. 28, 1925
Dear Mr.. Editor:
Bully for you-three times-for in
this weeks issue of the Coconino Sun
| see that you object to advertising
the Grand Canyon of Arizona as the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado. Right
you are!
This Grand Canyon up here is all
in the state of Arizona and all Ari-
zonans should be proud that within
the boundaries of our state is the
greatest, natural scenic wonder in the
world. And is it Of value to the
state? I'll say it is!
| call your attention to an adver-
tisement of the Phoenix, Arizona, club
appearing in the Saturday Evening
Post of NovS~@6er %, 1925, wherein
the Grand Canyon of Arizona is men
toned as the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado. This is conflicting and con-
fusing and the value of the sentence
wherein it is so spoken of, is lost.
The Grand Canyon of Arizona is
in the Grand Canyon national park
and the national park advertising
reads, "Grand Canyon National Park,
which might mean that the Grand
Canyon was in California or anywhere
else.
The Santa Fe railroad advertises
"Grand CANYON National Park" and
I'll bet that the ticket agents have to
tell fifty per cent of the ticket pur-
chasers- what state this said park is in.
Gosh, if this state is ever goin% to
wake up to the value of its wonderful
attractions, climate and resources, it's
about time for beginning, for the
year of 1926 will soon be here
Grand Canyon of Arizona" it is
and l trust you will continue calling
attention to this fact and | hope that
the national park system and the
Santa Fe railroad, together with all
of our own advertisers, will so dis
tinguish.
Very truly,
r p CTTITIAMD

THE BOYS MERELY LIED

We regret that Williams officers
should be offended at the statement
made by the runaway Los Angeles
boys taken here last week. The
statement that they had walked
around under the noses of nine bulls
at Williams" was such an obvious lie,
made in a spirit of braggadocio it did
not occur to US that any one could
take it seriously--and was printed
with view of showing the mental at
titude of the youngsters when taken.

ONLY INDIAN HOME IN
TOWN BURNED TUESDAY

The cause OF. the firm alarm Tues
day evening, which for a time threat
ened to interrupt the ordered pro-

of the little slab shack in the field
just outside of town on the west side
of the Lake Mary road. 1t belonged
to the Riordans and a few years ago
was occupied by an old blind Indian
silversmith. Tramps seeking shelter

Promise of High Water
Early in the Season.

It is predicted by some that we
will have extremely high water this
coming spring, although there has
often been mere snow in the noun
tains than at present. Persons who,
have observed this matter in former
years claim that during an open win
ter, such as the past, the ground be-
comes more saturated with water than
in extremely cold winters, and cOnse-
quently drinks up but little water
from the melting SHOWS Of spring,
thus allowing it to run into the
streams.
In the cold, dry winters, the snow
