SILVER DOLLARS WON'T
STAY IN CIRCULATION

The effort made by the treasury officials to get
the public In the habit of accepting silver dollars
along with the one dollar bills seems to have met
with failure. The silver dollars go into circulation
but they do not stay there. Every one in the eff
fete east seems to prefer paper money and those
who take it evidently are willing to run the risk
OF getting germs along with it.
There was famine of one dollar bills recently.
The demand for them was so great that the bu-
reau Of engraving could not keep up with it, and
this led to the effort to put the silver dollar back
into circulation. The one dollar bills seem to de-
terloriate faster than they used to. Every pur-
chase OF gasoline at q filling station or garage
seems to involve one or more one dollar bills and
the contact of grease and gas deterorates the bills
SO rapidly that they do not ordinarily at this late
date live out their allotted eight months of time
But it seems that in spite of the fact that the
silver dollar is clean, defies grease and will last
indefinitely, the people prefer the dollar that is
made OF paper So the treasury department is
speeding up the production of one dollar bills and
hopes to catch up with the demand in the near flu
ture. And the last move to popularize the silver
dollar seems to have been failure Even Colonel
Bryan has forgotten his old love and is otherwise
ousily engaged in fighting the Darwinian theory.

WE'RE ALL JUST FRIENDLY FOLKS

The ladies of Prescott have hit upon fine idea.
With view of getting acquainted with and well
coming all ladies who are temporarily visiting the
city, they gave an informal garden party" on the
plaza to which general invitation was given to
ladies were invited What could be more pleasing
all visiting ladies'. What could be more pleasing
open-handed welcome by the "home town. ladies.
It could not be done every day of course but what
could advertise town better provided the friend
ly feeling was carried sn?
It is true too, that while papa pays the freight,
he does not often select the neighbors that are
freely welcome to the lawn mower that papa
sharpens-nor does papa know the underground
channels of the sanatis and the hot biscuit route
somewhere over the backyard fence
The old man likes to have his front yard looking
spic and span, so tourists will remark about it.
But nine times out of ten he's more proud of the
beaten paths in the back yard which lead to the
rear of his residence-rnade just by neighbors and
friendly folks.

OAK CREEK HIGHWAY

1t is several years since an agitation was be
gun for the Improvement of the Oak Creek high
way and it may be hoped that the Joint nneetins
OF the Rotary clubs of Flagstaff and the Verde
district to be held next Thursday will have al
least the effect of urging the members of the
two organizations to action looking to the early
improvement of what can be made one of the very
greatest scenic roads in the southwest.
We have had promises that this work would be
done at once from at least three state administers
tlons-but promises don't build roads, especially
such roads as are required through the canyon
The American Association of Engineers Clark
dale branch, made complete survey couple of
years ago at the expense of the association and
there the matter dropped save that Coconino
county has spent much money in effort to
make its end of the highway passabe. Coconino
has done splendid work with the funds at its COM
mand, but road through the canyon will require
a lot of money just as did the road from Jerome
to Prescott through substantially similar country.
Carkdale, Jerome and Flagstaff need this road
and the agitation for its building should be kept
up.-Jeronle Copper News
There is no question as to the wonderful scenic
value of the Oak Greek highway. 1t is miniature
Grand Canyon, close ln where one seems to get
into personal touch with it. People from all parts
of the country have been visiting it the past few
years and each one comes away an enthusiastic
lover of it. They describe it as fitting rival of
the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is so great
anu awe Inspiring LndI III is QlIlculC Tor the nu-
man eye and mind to readily grasp this stupen-
dous playground of the gods. The Grand Canyon
makes one feel the supremacy of God and what a
creeping thing is mortal man.
Oak Greek, however, holds one breathless for
moment, then its beauty captivates and lures one
into loving its shadows and fantastic colors It's
yours. You are part of it. You can touch it,
explore It, find its cool sheltered nooks, hear
the trout stream bubbhng by over the rocks, yet
day after day you will find new places, new birds,
new trees, plants and flowers.
When there will be great highway thru Oak
Creek is but matter of time. Only 27 years ago
a pack trail mile and a half long was the only
means of reaching the famous old Thomas ranch
from the north. Old Bear Howard had precipi-
tious trail for himself and bear hounds out on the
west side. Later Lou Thomas surveyed road
out and to the north It hard wagon road
when finished, but now autos are going over it
without much trouble.

FLAGsTAFFs NOTED FRIENDS

4 We are much pleased with the enthusiastic let
ter printed in this issue of The Sun from the
noted artist, Ferdinand Burgdorff, giving his
unique and artistic idea of what Flagstaff should
have in the way of a big tourist hotel. Artist
Burgdorff is so much interested in the subject as
! to furnish along with his unique description of
the hotel he vsualizes, a line drawing which is
printed with his letter, For many years many
noted artists and writer's of fame have been COM
ing to Flagstaff to spend few weeks and all of
them have suggested the great need for big
tourist hotel here right in the very center of all
the wonders OF the great southwest.
The need for comfortable headquarters from
which to make trips to points of interest while
here becomes more and more urgent each year.
Visitors are constantly wondering why something
isn't done.
The letter and drawing by Artist Burgdorff is
a free Will offering on his part, unsolicited and
due to his purely enthusiastic admiration for this
section OF the country which he has been visiting
Oft and on for a great many years. He believes
It would soon be great center for artists writer's
and men OF note who would come to this, the
greatest recreation ground of the west.
1t may be remembered that Artist Burgdorff
is the same enthusiast who heard tourists COM
planning because they could see no flagstaff with
flag on 1t when they came to Flagstaff He
drew picture of the flagstaff and the idea was
concreted. The flag now flies at Flagstaff where
tourists may see it every day in the year.
In almost any old place around the world nova
days may be found milion-dollar hotels situated
adjacent ancient ruins. Flagstaff has in reality
SO much more to offer in the way of climate,
scenery, sports and great healthy outdoor life,
that it is almost unbelievable to think that an old
cast iron buddha located in an uncomfortable coun-
try could possibly draw tourist cash from all parts
of the world and increase the flood of tourists
year after year, Flagstaff has many boosters like
Artist Burgdorff, who has attained most en-
vlable niche in the world of artists

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN

William Jennings Bryan is dead. Three times
during the past 30 years he was defeated for the
office OF president. Such record might well
have soured the disposition of less stout heart.
but it is said to his credit it never affected his
CHEEKY good nature. He passed his defeats light
ly by and went on to other things If nothing
more could be gained from his life by young
Americans than his great way of carrying on with
the courage of his convictions, regardless of de-
feat, they will have gained one of the greatest
things of life

ADVANTAGE OF SMALL NEWSPAPERS

From ethical standpoint it can fairly be
claimed that the country press and small city DAHL
les have marked advantage over the big metro
politan newspapers.
The smaller papers are conducted by their
owners who are personally known to the people
and business men Of the community and are read
in nearly every family.
The owners, editors and publishers are freer to
express their honest convictions than the highly
commercialized city press too often run by hired
employees, principally to earn dividends.
The small daily or country weekly that lives up
to its opportunities represents the stand of per-
sonal journalism in behalf of the community
AS long as the small city dailies and country
weeklies remain true to their best traditions, with
their editorials devoted to constructive policies,
their influence in journalism will increase.-The

Certainly the new city water works system

prevented the present scarcity of water The Sun
endeavored its best to keep the question alive for
the past five years with view Of getting action

Flagstaff has reputation of coming alive a
little late it hardly be charged that it was the
fault Of the city council or the people of Flagstaff
in this instance. However, we are all in The mid

is now up to us to help save water to help save
ourselves much inconvenience and considerable
