new CHEVROLET TO BE
SHOWN HERE NEXT WEEK

The curiosity aroused over the an
nouncement of the new Chevrolet,
with many improvements in mechan-
ism and appearance, will soon be al
layed locally, as the Carron Motor
company will receive the first of sew
eral carloads now ordered early next
week and will at once place them on
display in the showroom at the Odd
Fellows building.
Mr.. Carron announces that no one
will be allowed to see the new cars
until they are in place in the show
room. They will be unloaded at night
and the first showing will be made
on Wednesday evening next, at s
o'clock.
1t is planned to keep the show
room open evenings for a week, at
least, to give everyone an opportunity
to examine the new cars. Every ar
rangement is being made for the com
fort of the guests and it is antici-
pated that there will be crowds each
day and night.

c. B. WILSON BUYS AND
WILL IMPROVE THE OLD
PRESBYTERIAN SITE

G.. B. Wilson, live-wire attorney, is
one of the Flagstaff men who believes
in Flagstaff's future and aims to help
in a practical way in the solving of it's
chief problem, that of housing suffi-
cient to accommodate the ever in
creasing number of newcomers clam
oring for it.
Mr.. Wilson acquired title on Mon
day to the balance of what is known
as the Presbyterian property at North
San Francisco and Cherry, which in
cludes the old Presbyterian church and
the manse He secured the church
lots several months ago but getting
title to the rest of the property had to
await court permission to sell and
other legal formalities.
The price paid for the property was
$1,000.
1t is reported on good authority,
though Mr.. Wilson as this is written
is not in the city so that full verifica-
ton can be had, that the manse will
be remodeled into modern apartments,
at least four. An addition may be
built to better carry out this plan. 1t
is also believed that the new owner
will very soon improve the rest of the
property, very likely also with apart
ments.
The old Presbyterian church, which
has been used only occasionally since
the federation of the Presbyterian
with the Methodist church and the
change of its headquarters to the
church building of the latter, has been
given to the Mexican Methodist Epls--
copal congregation and will be moved
to new location south of the railroad
tracks as soon as desirable site can
be secured.

The new building Mrs. Marie Hen

partitioned into six store-rooms, the
lathing is done, metal ceilings in
stalled and plastering and painting
will be under way early next month.
The stores will all be ready for oc-
cupancy some time in March.
That store-rooms are in demand
here is evidenced by the fact that five
of the new ones are rented and there
are several who hope to get the one
remaining.
c.. d. Richardson will have the cor
ner room, the same location, though
with less room, he occupied before the
fire. He will carry Indian rugs and
curios.
The room next north of him is the
one not yet rented.
Then will come the new shoe store
to be started by Cecil E. DeVaney and
w. D. Draine, then the Mayhew-
Lowery store and studio, then Dr.. M.
e. Fronske's offices, then G. Z.
Schwarz's tailor shop. Mr.. Schwarz
was an occupant of the old building
up to the time of the fire.

JUNIOR CHAMBER FAVORS
COLO. BRIDGE AND BILL
TO GIVE CITIES ROAD TAX

The Flagstaff Junior Chamber of
Commerce held it's first meeting un-
der the new officers at the Arizona
Central bank building Wednesday eve
ming. President A. J. Mackey pre-
sided and gave an extended outline of
the proposed activities he would like
to see the club take up during his
term of office.
Road matters occupied considerable
attention. An endorsement of the
governors proposed improvement of
the highway from Flagstaff north,
across the Colorado and through the
Kaibab preserve to Fredonia was
passed, and also a resolution favoring
the building of the Lee Ferry bridge
as outlined in the governors message.
A committee appointed at the last
meeting to investigate this bridge
proposition reported that upon cores
ponding with men having this matter
under consideration they were salts
fled that it was progressing as rapid
lv and favorably as possibly could be
expected. The state highway depart
ment is doing everything it can to
open up this country by making it
accessible to automobile travel.
A number of bills before the pres
ent session of the state legislature
were brought up for discussion and
the club went on record as favoring
the bill permitting cities of the state
receiving per cent of county road
taxes for expenditure upon the
streets; and also disapproved the
measure providing that cities pay
county tax collectors and assessors
for the work they do in listing and
collecting city taxes.

feeling, too, that if the city is liable
in this matter, then what is the use
of making any further improvements
at City Recreation park for the pleas
ure of our citizens? If a toboggan
slide is constructed, someone may get
hurt or killed. For that matter, some
one may get killed playing baseball or

may fall out of the grandstand and be

the course of the warfare against
insects; but if chickens are not
available, arsenate of lead or helle-
bore mixed with -four will be found
efficacious, except during the cutting
season, but generally no trouble
need be expected from insects.
Peas are equally popular with the
gardener and the consumer, and
must be started early to get good
results. Some open in two months
and some in three, SO it is well to
plant different varieties and in sue
ceSSion, that the season may be pro-
longed. The smooth peas, which are
not so sweet as the wrinkled. are
generally planted earliest, as the
wrinkled peas are apt to decay if
the ground is not in a warm and dry
condition, or may be lightened with
sand.
Having heard of Mr.. Burbank's
success in producing peas most suit
able for the canning factories, he was
asked to tell teh story of this exper-
iment which turn Rd out so salts
factorily.
I was asked some ysars ago by
large canning company to produce
a new variety as small ano productive
as the French "petits pols'' and as
sweet. They were all to be or uniform

for them to ripen at the same tina "

and cutting down the plant near the

crop and keeping the peas perfectly
fresh until canned. All the diff

by machinery, and the time was
remarkably short between harvest
ing and canning. only a few hours
from field to cans.
II was able to produce the new
variety by raising two crops of peas
each season for three years, by Sc
lecting from a large number of vines
in each generation the one that
came nearest to the kind wanted,
and from this one perfect vine was
produced the new variety. which is

Dilatory Asparagus; Peas to Order

All gardeners, new and enthusiastic
or seasoned and wary, experiment at
one time or another with asparagus,
and in spite of the many discouras-
ing obstacles and the fact that one
must wait for two or three years to
get results. these results are so
very satisfactory when finally on-
;ained that no vegetable garden is
quite complete without asparagus.
In regard to culture, Mr.. Burbank
says:
''The asparagus beds must be
fertilized thoroughly, deeply spaded,
then more fertilizer added and spaded
again, thus insuring rich, deep.
fine soil. When finished, the bed
should be slightly above the paths.
The seeds, after soaking, are often,
though not necessarily, sown under
protection or in a greenhouse, early
in the year and transplanted in May.
When transplanting, set the young
plants four inches deep and plant
from IS inches to 2 feet apart.
"Do not cut the stalks the first
season. as the plants will bear better
in future years il left undisturbed
for year or two"
