ENGINEER TO SURVEY
CANYON PARK ROADS

! In compliance with the request OF
officials of the national park service
that the U. S. bureau of public roads
assist in running surveys for proposed
roads within Grand Canyon national
park, G. ID. Evans, associate highway
engineer of the bureau left Phoenix
for Grand Canyon to study the ground
and conduct a Reconnaissance.
Engineer Evans will spend about
one week in preliminary study and
then two location parties consisting of
% employees will go to the Grand
Canyon with necessary equipment to
run the lines of survey The proposed
new roads will total approximately 70
miles. From Grand Canyon the road
will run east Is miles to Desert View
point and will follow the natural rim
of the canyon the entire distance The
present road runs through woods de-
void Of scenic beauty and with the ex-
ception of a few miles the traveller
along the present route is unable to-
view the canyon. -
1t is proposed to build an automo-
bile road to run from Grand Canyon
west 40 miles along the rim and
thence along the side of the canyon
walls down to the floor of the can
yon to the little Indian village of
Havasupai. The construction Of this
highway will entail the greatest en-
gineering skill in mapping out the
route and the actual building Of the
Is foot standard width road. Every
foot of the road will be blasted and
thousands of tons of solid rock must
be dislodged by dynamite to provide
roadbed along the tortuous descent.
District Engineer E. S. Wheeler OF
the bureau of public roads says the
road when completed will open up
vista of natural scenic beauty without
a counterpart in the United States.
The tourist will be enabled to make
the trip to the floor of. the canyon by
auto in safety and comfort and the
scene which will greet his eyes upon
arriving at Havasupai is without a
rival in this country, declared Mr..
Wheeler. Cascades and waterfalls
abound in proximity to the little viii
lage and one waterfall 200 feet in
height gives forth a sound of heavy
thunder that echoes throughout the
canyon night and day.
According to Engineer Wheeler,
funds are at present available for the
immediate construction of 16 miles
of the proposed road from Grand
Canyon to Grand View point. The
closest cooperation between the bu-
reau of public roads and the national
park service is maintained, stated
Mr.. Wheeler, with a resultant maxi
mum accomplishment at the minimum
of expense. J. r. Eakin, superintend-
ent of Grand Canyon national park,
will assist the engineers Of the pub
lie roads bureau in the location of
which will consume approx
mately two months.

LIVESTOCK GRAZING
LIMITS FOR ARIZOJA

The secretary of agriculture has au-
| thorized the grazing Of 239,397 cat
tie and horses and 193,959 sheep and
goats for the 10-year period 1854
on the eight national forests in Ari-
zona, according to District Forester
F. G. w. Pooler, who states that there
viii be no increases in grazing fees
during the 1925 grazing season, but
/ that in cases where the reports on
range appraisal recommend decreases
of fees they will be made effective at
once.
The supervisors, Mr.. Pooler states,
| are now receiving applications for
grazing privileges On the national for
ests and permits, which are to con-
tinue throughout 10-year period, viii
soon be issued. Issuance of long
term permits is expected to help in
stabilizing the livestock industry of
the southwest by enabling stocknen
to plan their businesses over a long
period of time The policy Of recog-
niZing established concerns and safe
guarding the interests Of the small
stockmen, which has been in effect
for many years, will continue in the
allotment of grazing permits.
The final report on range appraisal
which is the result of work that has
been going on for several years to de-
termine the commercial value of for
age produced on national forest
ranges has been conepleted and has
been submitted to the secretary Of
agriculture. The district forester
states, however, that Cue to the gen
eral depression of the livestock indus
try the secretary of agriculture has
decided not to give final approval to
the report until after the 1925 grazing
season. He has agreed nevertheless
that wherever the range plaisal
shows a decrease in the year long rate
from rates previously paid, the stock
men will be given the benefit of the
decrease beginning with the 1926
grazing season. In other cases the |
same rates as have prevailed hereto
fore will continue; that is, 81 per
head for cattle, $1.25 for horses, and |
25 cents per head for sheep and goats |
for the year long season. Charge for |
stock grazing for shorter periods than
the full year is, of course, proportion |
ately smaller.
One-fourth Of all the money re- |
ceived by the forest service from graz |
ing fees as well as from all other re-
ceipts of the national forests is paid
to the state and county in which the
forest areas are located to be used for
schools and roads. This IS provision /
of federal law and is paid in lieu of
taxes which the federal government
does not pay on national forest land, /
An additional 10 per cent of the for
est service receipts is used by the
forest service for the construction Of
roads and trails within the forests in
order that avenues of transportation
within the forests may be developed
and made to keep pace with trans
portation development on outside
lands.

JOHN H. HICKS, OLD TIMER
HERE, DIES in NEW MEXICO

Word was received in Flagstaff of
the death of John Fl. Hicks at Santa
Rosa, N. NJ, and his burial on
Wednesday of this week at Las
Vegas, that state
Mr.. Hicks will be remembered by
the old-timers here He came here in
the early SOS and worked for several
years for the Arizona Lumber & Tim
Der company. During part of his time
here, one Of his great friends was
Sumner, now Episcopal bishop of the
state Of Oregon, who also worked for
the lumber company. Both were musi-
clans and added much to the social life
of the town
Hicks has many times been said to
have been the inspiration Owen WIS
ter drew from in his celebrated novel,
"The Virginian" He was married,
but whether he left a family and the
particulars of his death are not
known.
One Of Hicks exploits while in
Flagstaff occurred after he had driven
q team and blackboard through Schulz
pass to the top of Eden mountain
Someone dared him to drive down the
steep rocky south side Of the noun
tain. He chopped down a pine tree,
fastened it to the blackboard, and
made the descent without mishap.
That was the first and last time
team was ever driven over that route. !
Hicks was charter member of the
local Masonic lodge, which sent flow
ars TO the funeral.

VOTE FOR CARL HERE

When the resolution for remission
of livestock grazing fees was under
consideration by the committee on
agriculture of TIE house Of represcn-
tatives, Congressman Carl Hayden of
Arizona strongly urged its adoption.
The following colloquy which appears
in the printed hearings indicates that
the members Of the committee have
high regard for the congressman from
Arizona:

Of che senate comes from these forest

sented on this committee, nor on sew
eral other important committees Of
the house. For that reason we have
rocky time of it.
Mr.. Rubey, of Missouri do not
get many presidents from Arizona,
but we certainly get one member OF
the house.
Mr.. Taylor (interposing) g)-You are
right; he is one Of the ablest and
best members of congress.
Mr.. AsweA, of Louisiana-Yo

then built up a background for his

situation of the Sandwich Islands
and touched on the marvellous

that the temperature there only Va

and that the soil was unlike that OF
Europe or Asia. The structure of
the islands is also unique as they
rise Ave miles from the floor OF the

the speaker said that not they, but
the Philippines constituted the real
race problem,
The speaker contrasted the Jap
anese problem in California with its
very small percentage OF Jap popu-
lation, with the much larger per-
centage In Hawaii and declared that
the reason for the Widespread feel
ing against the Jap in California
was because Of propaganda carried
on by certain organizations in that
state. It did not represent the real
afcts and the real feeling of Japan
toward America any more than ola
the propaganda in Japan that de-
picted the lynchings nd other dis
regard of laws in America, In both
cases i'll feeling was being fostered
by such things.
According to DR., Eddy the Japa-
nese government was friendly to-
ward the United States and instruct
ed It's representatives TO make any
concessions to foster our friendship.
In Hawaii there were formerly
schools where the Japs were taught
in their own language and it was
thought that because of the large
Japanese population that this could
not be changed, but the Japanese
agreed to law that forbade in
