NEW OCCUPANTS HENSING
BUILDING GETTING SETTLED

DR.. NJ. G. Fronske and his office as
sistant, Mrs. Howard Denman, have
been very busy all week getting set
tied in their new quarters in the Hen
sing block, which consist of four
rooms: reception room, consultation
room, room in the back with part
fitted up as a dressing room and the
rest of the space to be given over to
the storage of supplies. The fourth
space will be fitted up as a laboratory.
They expect to be very comfortable
there and are glad to be on the ground
floor again.
The Mayhew model studio will be
open tomorrow in its new home in this
block. The new place is planned with
definite specifications to accommo-
date the installation of latest model
machinery for kodak and portrait fin
ishing. The Eastman technical travel
ing expert was here this week and APP
proved the entire plant without sug-
gested change.
Elegant furnishings have been pro-
vided for the reception room, and
every modern convenience added
which will make it the most attractive
and complete studio in the southwest.
A mezzanine balcony has been built
across the back of the room where
Navajo rugs will be displayed, and un-
der this will be located the dark room,
work rooms and dressing rooms. The
local saIesroom of the Gap trading
post will be located on one side Of the
room for the handling of Indian arts
and crafts representative Of the
southwestern tribes.
The d. & D. Bootery, being opened
by w. d. Draine and Cecil DeVaney.
in this building will be ready for
business about March 10. A part of
their stock has already arrived, and
while all their goods will not be here
by that date, they will have sufficient
for present use. The fixtures are be-
ing installed this week.
Duffy Brothers, who have been in
the grocery business in Williams for
some years will also be occupants of
the Henslng building in the near fu-
ture with a full line of staple and
fancy groceries.
G. C. Schwarz, the tailor, is again
ensconced in this building, in hand
some, up-to-date quarters.
W.~B. Raudebaugh, the real estate
and insurance man, who for so long
had been located on South San Fran
cisco street, now has nicely-appointed
office quarters in the Schwarz store.

The reason given for this flare may
sound sorter shaky, but when one
sees some of the ugly mugs stuck up
on either side of the gateway to the
temple and is advised they are posted
there with savage look on their faces
to keep evil spirits out, the devil story
isn't very hard to believe
Leading across the river Daiya is a
sacred red bridge about so feet long
and % feet wide which is reserved for
the exclusive use of the emperor or
great dignitaries on rare occasions
when going to Nikko to worship at the
temples.
No foreigners, not even the most
distinguished royal visitors, have ever
crossed this bridge. General Grant on
his visit to Japan during his tour of
the world was accorded the privilege
of using the bridge, but, knowing its
history, had the good taste to decline
the honor, which greatly raised him
in the estimation of the Japanese peo-
pie.
These temples are partly Buddhist
and partly Shinto.
The coloring and carvings beggar
description. There is gold, silver, lac
quer work, bronze and carving Of
every conceivable. design presenting
such varied combinations of colors as
to dazzle the eye.
Aside from the one magnificent big
temple, there are hundreds of smaller
ones scattered all over the mountain
side. | presume they contain collec-
tion Of cheaper Buddhas for the lower
class to dicker with.
Along the broad highway leading
to the main entrance to the temple
grounds on either side are massive
cryptomeria trees over 100 feet in
height, some six feet thick, standing
so close together that the roots inter-
lock and the trees almost rub trunks.

SHERIFF PARSONS CUTS
OFF BIG BOOZE SUPPLY

Two Of Sheriff Parsons deputies
while out for a stroll last Thursday
evening felt the need of a drink
and made a stop at the residence of
Florence Ferris on the south side for
refreshments. They succeeded in pur-
chasing a bottle of white mule, which
they produced as evidence against her
in Judge Jones' court Friday morning.
The judge did not approve of her
method of doing business and assessed
a fine of $500 for selling liquor con-
trary to law, which she paid, and
gave her six months suspended
sentence III the county Jail.
While she was in court search
warrant was secured and a search of
her home revealed about 80 gallons of
liquor, which was confiscated, but
Florence disclaims any knowledge of
the presence of the stock or the owner
ship of the same. Further investiga-
tion is being made in the matter.
A federal charge was filed against
the woman and she appeared before
United States Commissioner Tom
Ree5 on Wednesday where she plead
ed not guilty and was bound over to
the United States court at Prescott
under $500 bond, which she furnished
and is now at liberty.

The negotiations leading up to the
subdivision plan were conducted for
Babbitt Brothers by Dewitt Knox of
Los Angeles, who has been looking
out for their interests in California
for some time. Mr.. Knox came to
Flagstaff last Friday, and the an
nouncement has since been made that
he is to remain here in the capacity
Of general manager of the extensive
Babbitt interests in this state.
Mr. Knox is welrknown throughout
Arizona; personally to many, and by
reputation to many more. He and
his brother were formerly owners of
the National Bank of the Republic at
Salt Lake City, which they sold in
1921 Since then Mr.. Knox has been
a resident of Los Angeles. For the
past three years he has been secre-
tary of The agricultural loan agency,
through which was placed the money
loaned by the War Finance corpora
ton in Arizona and southern Cali
fornia. Since the completion of the
work Of the Los Angeles agency last
fall, and the transfer of its office to
Santa Fe, Mr. Knox has been repre-
senting Babbitt Brothers in California
In the course of his former work he
has been closely in touch with condi-
tions in Arizona, and particularly the
livestock industry. His wide exper-
ience admirably fits him for the i'm
portant work he is undertaking for
the Babbitt companies, which are the
most extensive interests in northern
Arizona. Mrs. Knox and their three
children will remain in Los Angeles
until the end of the present school
term.

BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT
FLAGSTAFF MARCH 1914

Plans for the high school basketball
tournament which is to be held on the
courts of the Northern Arizona Nor
NAL school on March 13 and IA which
is to determine the championship of
the northern part of the state are
rapidly nearing completion.
Twelve boys teams and seven girls
teams will participate in the event

low; boys teams only from Clarkdale,
jerome, Snowflake and st. Johns.
In the boys contest for the C. B.
Wilson trophy, ST. Johns, Round Val
ley, Snowflake and Jerome will be the
favorites as all are strong and have
good line of past performances to
back them up while the Prescott boys
with their light shifty players may
was won by Snowflake in 1923 and is
held now by st. Johns.
The Winslow girls team has held
the NJ. l. Powers trophy for the past
two years and they will be strong for
holding it again this year, but will
have several fast contenders to dis
pose of at the coming event, with
Round Valley probably the favorites
on the dope sheet. The Flagstaff
girls have been playing strong game
this year and prove the dark horse in
the tournament
The tournament will open Friday
afternoon.
The preliminaries will open on Fri
day afternoon, and four games will be
played that afternoon, four games on
Friday evening, four more on Satur-
day forenoon and afternoon, winding
up with the boys consolation and the
finals on Saturday evening.

elimination events by drawings to be
held in advance and score cards print
ed so that each contestant will know
the complete program in advance. Of
ficials have already been chosen and
are: For the boys games, E. A. Brock
of the Phoenix Union high school, and
for the girls, Roy Sawhill, of the
Phoenix Junior college.

Nikko. japan. January 20.


Koubanwa, folks. That would be
though it does not sound much like it.
1t is splendid overcoat and flannel
weather in Japan and has been ever
since we discovered the place, despite
the fact that it is touted as the
"Flowery Kingdom" There is a cold
raw wind working most of the time
that keeps one constantly refrigerated.
Our last tour around Toxic before
sailing for Kobe Sunday morning was
to Nikko, the home of the most fa-
nous shrines, located ninety miles
north of Toxic. 1t is a town of about
10000 children and others and is more
like the Japan one expected to see
than other cities.
The town is located in canyon in
the mountains and is some TIA feet
above the habitat of fish. 1t is main
ly noted because couple of Japan's
mightiest Shoguns accidentally dieo
here and are buried in large park
with shrines and temples as thick as
freckles on kid.
1t is said that it took some 5000
men, who represented the best artists
and craftsmen in Japan, ~ years to
carry out this stupendous plan of sign
posts to commemorate these Shoguns
The cost was over $10.000,000 and ex-
perts say it could not be reproduced
now for less than $50,000,000 if it
were possible to reproduce it at all.
One of these temples, the most
beautiful of the batch, is about 100
feet high, built one story after an
other with flaring roofs which shell
ter the blaze of gold and lacquer work.
1t is said these roofs are built with an
upward flare in order to give the devil
an upward shoot should he come slid
ing down the roof. These roofs are
characteristic throughout the country.

HAYDEN PROTECTING
OUR FOREST FUNDS

Congressman Carl Hayden averted
considerable loss in forest revenue to
this state, and especially to the coun-
ties containing the Coconino and Sit
greaves forests, when he succeeded in
tacking an amendment on the forest
land interchange bill of Senator Bur-
sum of New Mexico, recently passed.
The bill provided for the inter-
change of forest land and was de-
signed to let New Mexico mills reach
across the border into this state and
cut. timber, exchanging therefor other
forest land without regard to acces-
sibility to our mills. The timber in
volved amounted to about 100000,
which meant a loss to these counties
of the 25 per cent school and road
money, amounting to $4,000. Mr..
Hayden's amendment provides that
the transfer cannot be made except
with the approval of the boards of
supervisors of the counties interested
and>the governor of this state.

DIR. MANNING IMPROVING

DR.. George F. Manning, who has

The Coconino sun., 1925-03-06

AT the preceding meeting of the
board a number of citizens met with
it for the purpose of conferring on
road matters, and as the board was
not ready to act at that time the
meeting with the citizens was post
poned until the March meeting with
the distinct understanding that at
that time road matters would be dis
cussed in open meeting and citizens
would be given an opportunity to
make suggestions to the board as to
what they considered the most inn
portant projects to be given considera-
tion before the 1925 road budget was
adopted.
While the citizens did not take the
interest in matter that was antici-
pated, yet when some of them ap-
peared on the scene Monday afternoon
they found that action had already
been taken and was a matter of
record.
Supervisor Kellam objected to the
speedy action for two reasons. One
was that the public had been invited
to meet with the board and talk the
matter over, and the other was that
the new board of supervisors had
never looked over the county's road
system with view of determining
where the work was most needed and
where the money could be spent to
the best advantage.
The fact that this years road money
amounts to but about 40 per cent of
what was spent last year, viii require
pretty careful handling to take care of
the most pressing requirements, let
alone any new or extensive work.
The Coconino sun., 1925-03-06

The phenomenal development of
southern California has been replete
with instances of pyramided values in
real estate and fortunes made by the
early birds who acquired large tracts
of land and allowed the great city to
grow up around them. In 1903 Bah
bitt Bro hers purchased 468 acres of
land which was then part of the
old Spanish Rancho San Antonio.
They called their tract Laguna ranch,
and with faith in the future of the
southwest, held it while Los Angeles
reached out and built up around it.
This tract lies along Whittier boule-
ward, the main thoroughfare to the
southwest, is partly within the town
Of Montebello and only eight niles
from the center Of Los Angeles. Very
recently the well-known Bandini syn
dicate has completed the subdivision
of adjoining tracts, and the Los
Angeles papers state that the Babbitt
property is practically the only large
tract left for subdivision within a
radius Of several miles.
The transaction just closed involved
a consideration of $1,500,000 to Bah
bitt Brothers and a substantial parti-
cipation in a syndicate formed by Los
Angeles capitalists to subdivide the
ranch for industrial and residential
purposes. Surveyors are already at
work laying out lots, and the installa-
tion of improvements is under way.
The favorable situation of the prop
erty and the encouraging outlook for
real estate in the coast city make the
prospects for this syndicate particu
larly bright, and Babbitt Brothers are
anticipating large profits from the
interest they retained.
