WOMAN OF NOTED FAMILY.
COVERED WAGON PIONEER
SEES MUCH CHANGE HERE

Thirty-eight years ago there arrived
In Flagstaff in a covered wagon
drawn by mules a father and a mother
with nlne OF their then-living sturdy
children. This father and mother
were Mr.. and Mrs. Frank j. Hoch-
derffer of Illinois, to which state they
had immigrated from their native
France. Here, in Arizona, on a ranch
in the virgin forest Of the beautiful
San francisco mountains, they made
their home until their six sons had
grown to manhood and their three
daughters to womanhood. Their eldest
daughter, Mrs. Eigenman of Kansas,
had remained east.
After braving all the difficulties of
pioneer life, Mr.. and Mrs. Hochderf-
fer, whose children had now estab-
lished themselves in their own homes,
were left alone at their mountain
ranch. With the trials. Of old age
slowly creeping upon them, these
sturdy pathtinders. left Flagstaff to
spend their remaining days basking III
the warmth Of sunny California.
A few days ago there arrived on
the California limited an aged woman
with snowy-white hair but with the
clear eye of the hardy pioneer. She
was alone. Her helpmate had in 1909
been called to his eternal rest. This
time She had left in different places,
above or under sod, her IL children,
go grandchildren, AZ great grand
children, and one great great grand
child. Friends recognized in this
motherly woman Mrs. Kathryn Hoch-
derffer, pioneer of Flagstaff and the
widow of the late Frank,J. Hochderf-
fer.
But how different from the greeting
of SO years ago! A thriving town with
well-paved streets, friends instead of
strangers. Her son, granddaughter
and great grandson welcomed her
home.
Eighty-two years ago on October "a
next, Mrs. Hochderffer, nee Klostar,
was born in France. Her father and
paternal grandfather, officers in Ma
poleon's army, belonged to the Klostar
house Of lacemakers and print design
ers of Paris. Her mother was the
daughter of Captain Molter, Ma
poleonic officer whose wife was the
daughter of Colonel Felter, a Welsh
man and at the time of his marriage
ambassador for England and Wales in
the French colony in Arabia.
All of Mrs. Hochderffer's six sons
who grew to manhood had military
service as officers, one serving in the
Spanish-American war. Eight Of her
grandsons served overseas in the late
World war.
For the next few weeks Mrs. Hoch-s
derffer will visit her son, Col George
Hochderffer, of 801 West Cherry ave-
nue., Flagstaff.

NORTHERN ARIZONA IS THE
SWITZERLAND OF AMERICA

The manner in which the great
stream of automobile tourist traffic
is flowing through Arizona, in small,
quickly moving units that pass with
! out arousing comment, hides the inn
mensity Of the greatest movement of
humanity the world has ever known.
The Sun desires to call its readers
attention to this stream of trans
state visitors that is steadily flowing
both ways over the National Old
Trails~highway, the preferred route
through Arizona.
The Automobile Club of Arizona
has received a report on the automo-
bile tourist travel passing through the
Yuma gateway which amounts to full.
ly $4,000 cars SO far in 1925.
During August, 3777 automobiles
headed west and 1896 east-bound cars
crossed the Colorado river on the free
bridge at Yuma, this does not include
passenger buses.
Officials of the Automobile club es-
innate that each party Of trans-state
travellers spent an average Of $5 in
the gateway city. Some business.
The Sun desires its readers to ac-
quaint themselves with the value Of
this great throng of visitors as busi-
ness asset to the towns through which
the National Old Trail passes and by
proper advertising take full advantage
of the business opportunity that is
knocking at our door.
Scenic Arizona is northern Arizona
and by taking proper steps to care for
this great tourist business northern
Arizona can become the Switzerland
of America and the mecca Of all au-
tomobile tourists.

THE CRADLE OF LIBERTY


Independence hall, oft referred to as
"The Cradle of Liberty" in historic
Chestnut street, Philadelphia, where
"Uncle Sam" was born more than 14e
years ago, stands and looks very much
as it did when, on July 4, 1776, the
liberty bell rang out to the world from
its place in the tower the news that
the colonies in America had agreed to
withdraw from the rule Of England.
The plans for this venerable brick
building. which is 100 feet long and A
feet wide, were laid in 1923. Except
for the wings and the tower. the struc-
ture was completed a few years later
as a home for the Continental con-
gress.
Possessed of a simple dignity and
quiet charm. Independence hall is a
substantial and imposing relic Of Colo
NAL architecture perhaps the most
historic of all American buildings. To
and through it come and go annually
hundreds of thousands Of citizens, rep
resenting every state in the Union
and many lands beyond the seas.
This building has been the center
of many a stirring and history-making
scene. In 1t met that Continental con
gress which debated, then shaped
subsequently adopted, and finally
signed, the Declaration of Independ-
ence. From its steps this precious doc
ument was read to the people. In it
George Washington was commissioned
commander in chief of the Continental
armies It was here that the first
American flag was raised on his birth
DAY in 1861 Tt was to this building
that his body was carried to lie in
state, and here it was that congress
convened, following the close of the
Revolutionary war during the summer
Of 1877, to agree to sign a constitution
for the newly-created United States.
The room in which, one by one, the
authorized representatives Of the is
colonies advanced in tense at
mosphere and affixed their signatures
in ratification Of the Declaration Of
+ independence is indeed dignl6ed The
walls Of the building are graced with
portraits Of the signers and a painting
OF that dramatic moment when thC
signing was in progress.
Liberty bell, the most famous Of al
bells in America, was removed from
the tower many, many years ago, ant
now reposes within a glass cabinet Oh
the main floor, almost directly beneath
the location from which, it rang out it
message Of freedom on July 4. 1776.

There are no states in the Union
where the curfew as it was known in
the early days is enforced. Formerly
the curfew was sounded as a signal
for all fires and lights to be put out
This was because heat was obtained
from open freplaces, and the measure
was regarded as necessary for the
safety of the community in order to
prevent fires. According to BOuvier's
dictionary, some states have enacted
legislation in regard to the curfew, bu
