WILL EXTEND new GRAND
CANYON RIM ROAD PAST
GRAND TO DESERT VIEW

Engineers of the u. S. bureau of
public roads this week resumed survey
of the proposed Grand Canyon ma
tional park road from Grand View,
Grand Canyon, to Desert View. Part
of this survey was made some time
ago but was stopped owing to in
ability of the bureau representatives
and Martin Buggeln, owner of the
store, hotel and much of the land at
Desert View to agree as to the route
the road should take through his
property. 1t is understood that Nj.
Buggeln has now agreed to one of the
three alternative routes surveyed
across his holdings.
1t will not be a great while before
the new rim drive at Grand Canyon
from Ell Tovar hotel to Grand View is
completed. This follows the rim of
the Grand Canyon closely practically
all of the way, the old road being back
from the rim most of the way and
only accessible to it by branch roads
at infrequent intervals.
The new rim road is full "a feet
wide and that will also be the width
of the Grand View-Desert View road.

THE GOVERNOR HAS SEVEN
GAME WARDENS READY TO
ARREST KAIBAB HUNTERS

few days ago with orders from Gov.
George w. p Hunt to arrest every
hunter, resident or nonresident, who
comes out of the U. S. government
game preserve in the Kaibab forest
with deer. killed in violation Of the
Arizona game laws.
There will be seven of these game
wardens in all, stationed at strategic
points to embarass the poor hunter.
These men are financed by mys-
terious alleged fund of $1,000 that
has come from somewhere in spite of
the fact that there has not been
money to keep a game warden in Oak
Creek nor to keep one watching the
Indians who every time they wish
sally forth into our forests and kill
deer.
Not one cent for legitimate protec-
ton of our game-but thousands to
enforce the governors late ultimatum
that the agreement made some time
ago between State Game Warden Will

But it was not things mundane they

for they spent all the evening until

err is instructed to Immediately mail it

Flagstaff high school football team
opened the 1925 season here last Fri
day with victory over the much
lighter Kingman high school team in a
slow game, typical of early season
play. The final score was $40. Flag
staff outclassed the opponents in
every department of the game, keep

greater part of the time. Kingman
never threatened to score at any time.
Flagstaff scored early in the first
quarter after carrying the ball more

Babe Cameron plunged through the
line for the first touchdown. Charlie
Prochnow kicked goal for the extra
point. Two more touchdowns came in
the first half and two in the final

Flagstaff executed plays lost at least
one or two more scores.

gains himself on off-tackle plays.

WILLIAMS SAYS NO STORES
SOUTH END PROPOSED new
GRAND CANYON HIGHWAY


Engineers of the U. S. bureau of
public roads last week completed the
survey of the proposed government
road from Grand Canyon connecting
with the National Old Trails highway
two and half miles this side of Viii
liams and Engineers Evans and
Rogers were in Flagstaff the first of
this week at County Assessor Billy
Beeson's office looking up the records
as to ownership of privately owned
land touched by the new route.
The engineers, who took little
more than two months for their sur
vey, had orders from bureau head
quarters to establish a route as di
rectly south as possible. They estab
lished the Grand Canyon starting
point near the park administration
building and garage. In no place does
the proposed road follow either the
Maine-G Grand Canyon or the Williams
Grand Canyon roads, although it
crosses the former once and the lat
ter four or five times in the Red
Lake-Howard Lake section.
The new route is 5758 miles long
as against the Ga miles of the above
mentioned present roads. 1t comes
south from Grand Canyon through
the east side of townships 30 to p,
range 2 east. Sixteen degrees is the
maximum curve. The heaviest grade
is six degrees and is lessened by
curves. From the south end of How
ard lake there is perfectly straight
stretch for 5 miles.
All low places have been avoided,
high route being chosen for the en-
tire distance. Zig-zag surveys to
either side made the approximation of
the most dry route more certain. The
south end, where the proposed route
connects with the Old Trails highway,

CHANCES MUCH AGAINST
FINISHING new PIPELINE
FROM SPRINGS THIS FALL

Frequently big auto truck, heavily
laden with concrete pipe for the new
springs to city pipeline, travelling
over the old pipeline on the road up
the mountain. breaks a joint in that
line; and then the town is without
water for a few hours.
A fleet Of six trucks is rushing the
pipe up the mountain in the endeavor
to get the new line finished before
weather stops the work. 1t will take
until about the 10th of this month to
get all the pipe up there and three or
four days longer to finish laying it.
In the meantime, for the past sew
eral nights, it has been cold enough
up there to freeze ice two inches thick.
Just one heavy snow and cold snap
between now and the goth of this
month and the chances will be ten
to one against the completion of the
line until late next spring. The
chances are four or five to one that
we'll have that snow and cold snap.
The contract time was up yester-
day, October /. The contractors,
Cook & O'Brien of Kansas CITY, while
they have had a tremendous job, ore
that involved a lot of rock work, still
apparently have loitered a lot and
have at no time employed as many
men as they should 1t must have
been apparent to them for weeks that
at the. rate Of progress they were
making they would not get through
at the contract time.
Apparently city council has ham
mer-lock on the contractors and if it
chooses they can penalize them
for breach of contract. Presumably,
contracts are made to be lived up to.
When failure to live up to them is en-
tirely the fault of the contractor any
penalty that may be exacted, should
in justice to the taxpayers, be eX
acted.

paign against scabies, Commissioner

reau of animal industry at Albuquer-
que to go at once to the scene and

"It is reported the Indians are in
an ugly frame of mind as result
of the alleged seizure of their cattle.
Mr.. Hagerman said he believed the
Arizona officials are exceeding their
authority if they were confiscating
cattle of the Indians, and asked Sny
der to suggest that where Indians
were unable to pay dipping charges
the matter of the fees should be taken
up with the government.

BILLY ADAMS AND HIS DAD
HAVE LUCKY ESCAPE FROM
DEATH WHEN CAR WRECKS

Billy Adams, the Flagstaff barber
and Winona postmaster and merchant,
and his father, B. F.. Adams, narrowly
escaped death when Billy's Dodge
truck left the road, struck a big log
and turned over Wednesday morning
while they were on their way to
Flagstaff from Winona.
Billy was badly bruised and was cut
on one hand, but didn't go to bed when
he and his dad got to Mercy hospital.
The latter was more severely injured,
getting a scalp wound, ascut over one
eye and general bruises, most of them
pretty painful. But he was at the
hospital only few hours.
Billy drives that road twice day,
coming to his shop here in town and
returning; so going fast has become
natural with him. He was wheeling
along just the other side of Green
laws at about 40 miles down grade
when a rear wheel struck depres-
sion, heading the truck off the road
and directly toward a big tree. Billy,
used to driving a Ford, instead OF
stepping on the brake put his foot on
the gas and kept it there. He man.
aged to get past the tree, grazing it,
and the front wheels struck log two
feet in diameter and II feet long,
showing it dozen feet or more. The
car turned over on its side, both men
in the cab. Phey were brought to
town by Sam Hudson and Mr.. and
Mrs. Charlie Priest. The car, not in
sured, lost both front wheels and the
front spring, radiator and front end
of the frame we're smashed.
Billy was at his shop yesterday
while, glad he didn't hit the tree
and that he's not hurt worse.

ANOTHER FAMOUS OAK
CREEK RANCH SOLD

John L. Thomas has sold his famous
ranch on Oak Creek to DR.. Ansel Mar
tin of Phoenix for consideration said
to be $4,000. A number of parties in
the south have been trying to get hold
of the place for number Of years.
1t is understood DR.. Martin has in
mind an incorporation that will great
ly improve the place and use it in the
nature of a summer club home. 1t is
an ideal location for a summer resort
or club and with the eventual open
ing of the Oak Creek road, or rather
completing it as a scenic drive, it
would attract visitors countrywide.
