NEVADA GOVERNOR WANTS
ROAD TO RIM OF CANYON

Cooperative action by Arizona and
Nevada toward the building of high
way from st. Thomas, Nevada, to the
north rim of the Grand Canyon of
Arizona may result from the visit in
Phoenix on August of Governor
Scrugham Of Nevada, who advised
Gov. w. P. Hunt that he will be in
Phoenix on that date for the tri-state
Colorado river conference.
Governor Hunt replied that he had
referred the letter to State Engineer
w. C. Lefebvre.
A letter received by Governor Hunt
from Governor Scrugham urges that
Arizona take steps to provide road
from the north rim of the Canyon to
connect with one which Nevada is pre-
pared to build to the Arizona bound
ary. st. Thomas lies about SO miles
west of the Arizona line.
Governor Scrugham suggests that
Arizona might be saved much of the
cost of building the road proposed by
having the portion of the Arizona
strip through which it is built declared
a national forest or national park.
Such action Governor Scrugham
urges, would enable Arizona to obtain
federal funds to bear much of the
cost.
Although the correspondence did
not mention the point on the north
rim which Governor Scrugham wishes
the highway to touch, in previous let
ters he has expressed the wish that it
extend to point nearly opposite the
town of Grand Canyon on the south
rim, approximately 200 miles from the
western border of Arizona.

PASTOR LEAVES AFTER FIFTEEN

Mr. Alison came from Kane, Pa.
on June 20, 1910, and commenced
holding church services and Sunday
school Immediately in the court house

surmountable difficulties of no funds
and a very small congregation, build
ing operations were commenced on
the present site, Mr.. Alison himself
buying the brick in Hebron and the
pews and other furniture in Minnea-

in the congregation acted as foremen
on the job, dispensing with the SER

were at work during the week, Mr..
Alison was securing the city to col

Finally, in July, 1915, the First Lu-

lifted anchor and put out to sea as a
result of the governments block

Assistant Secretary Andrews. the
field marshal of the prohibition
forces, and Rear Admiral Billiard
commandant of the coast guard. are
in serious mood. Admiral Billiard
recognizes that the situation has de-
veloped into what almost amounts to
a war to the death and he plans to
do the best job his power and facil-

"It's q big job, a hard job" Mr..
Andrews remarked, "but we mean
business. We are not cutters. The
crews of the coast guard have the
tradition of their service at heart
They won't be frightened by threats"
With evidence accommodating that
land agents of the rum smugglers
were ready to take long chances for
the high stakes of their illicit trade,
coast guardsmen everywhere have
been warned by headquarters to ex-
pect sudden and drastic moves from
any direction, and to use caution.
Admiral Billiard is backing them up
to the limit, they we're told, and is
ready to give them every legal as

convinced all that the summer will
be no vacation trip for the outfit,
but will be crowded with attacks.

cades, bribery attempts, and politi-
cal pressure.
Headquarters officials have been
called by long distance and local
telephone in the last two days by
rum agents who offered .bribes;
when they we're refused, the agents
branded the officials as crooks and
charged them with letting other
rum boats through the lines.
In one instance, after the bribe at
tempt had failed, Lieutenant Com
mander Yeandle, aide to the Com
mandant, was warned to make him
self "scarce" around New York. Com
