That the union Sunday evening

FOUR FIRES IN ONE
DAY In PRESCOTT
NATIONAL FOREST

Four forest fires, all on the Pres
colt district and all caused by
lightning, were reported to the
Prescott National Forest office
Tuesday afternoon. The blazes
were easily extinguished and were
confined to an area of less than
a quarter of an acre.
The fires were reported on Lynx
Greek, near the Jersey Lily road
on the north slope of Granite
Mountain and on Mount Tritle
Rangers or fire guards were sent
to the different blaZes from Pres
colt as soon as word was received
there. Very little damage was
done.
So far this season the Prescott
forest has been unusually fortunate
in the number of outbreaks, which
usually is considerably larger than
that reported to date for the sum-
mer, forest service officials de-
clare The forests in the south
ern part of the state have been
hard hit, however, with a larger
area burned over than the average
of former years.
Forest service officers in this
part of the state say they have re-
ceived excellent cooperation from
the public in eliminating fires on
the reserve, and this is believed to
have been no small factor in keep
ing the number of outbreaks down.
Those who may see fire on the
forest are requested to report it at
once, and thus prevent small fires
from gaining such headway that
they may cause much damage be-
fore being brought under control.

SUNSET PASS
ROAD GRADE
NEARING THE
FOREST.LINE

Between twenty-four and twenty
seven miles of grading on the Sun
set Pass road is now completed,
according to an announcement
made yesterday by C. H. Payne,
chairman of the board of super
visors. This distance takes the
road almost to the forest boundary
line and the work under the direc-
tion of County Engineer G. Z.
West has been progressing at the
rate of one mile of finished road
per day much of the time. Two
bridges remain to be built on the
road already finished.
Completion of the Sunset Pass
road, which is expected to be ef-
fected within the next sixty days,
eled north and south road which
will be almost as important to
Winslow as the Old Trails high
way, those who have worked to
obtain the road declare.
The Sunset Pass road branches
from the Old Trails highway half
a mile west of the roundhouse and
four miles west of Winslow and
will meet the Phoenix-Flagstaff
road in Long Valley. About six
miles of road from the Phoenix
Flagstaff road to the foot of Blue
Ridge already has been graded so
that the Sunset Pass road will be
completed when the foot of Blue
Ridge is reached. This point is
about twenty-miles from where the
crew is now working.
From Long Valley the road goes
by way of Payson, Pine and Roose-
welt dam to Phoenix, making the
distance from here to Phoenix
about 240 miles. The road not only
will make it possible for people of
Long Valley to do much of their
trading in Winslow, but will give
Winslow a good and shorter route
to the capital as well as very
scenic one 1t will provide splen-
did one-day pleasure trip also for
those who wish to drive to Flag
staff, making it possible for mo-
torists to go by one road and re-
turn by another.
Winslow people have been work
ing for the Sunset highway for five
or six years, but it was not until
this year that the forest service,
through the efforts of Forest Su-
pervisorl E. G. Miller, of Flagstaff,
decided to help finance the build
ing of the road through the re-
serve. The amount in the hands of
the supervisors thus far from the
forest service is $1,000. Coconino
county also contributed $1,000 to
the road.

DOUGLAS OUT:
HUNT HOLDS
STOCK BOARD
RESIGNATION

The state of Arizona remained
legally without a state yeterina-
rian Wednesday and Thursday
while Gov. George w. P. Hunt de-
ferred action on the squabble
which Tuesday precipitated the
resignation OF members of the
Live Stock Sanitary Board.
Other than that he had received
the resignation of the live stock
board members, there were no de-
Velopments in the situation, the
governor declared. Members of
the live stock board are B. J. Nc
Kinley, Casa Grande, chairman;
l. l. Neal, Wikieup, and p. T. Hur-
ley, Phoenix
The resignation of the board
members followed the request made
to them by Governor Hunt that
they reconsider their removal from
office last month of DR.. S. E. Doug
las, state veterinarian. The COVER
nor further advised the board that
he would reappoint DR.. Douglas to
the office. The edict was followed
by the resignation of the board.
DR.. Douglas was removed in
June by the board not because of
too rigid enforcement of the scab-
les quarantine in certain sections
Of the state, it was declared, but
because he was inconsistent in the
matter, refusing to allow some cat
tie to move while other cattle were
permitted to be shipped. Senator
Thornburg answered the accusa-
tion by declaring that the cattle
referred to were moved against the
wishes and orders of DR.. Douglas
The shipment moved, he said, be-
cause the California state veteri-
marian was willing to pass them
into the state. The governor then
asked the board if they had any
other charges to make and, receiv-
ing no reply advised that he de-
sired them to reconsider the matter
Governor Hunts only comment
on the situation was that he had
the whole matter under considera-
ton and that he had taken no ac-
tion. DR.. Douglas, he declared
yesterday, has not been reappointed
to the post and the resignation of
the board members has not been
accepted. He declined to indicate
what his action in the matter may
be, or when he will take action.

L. ]. Bennett Says
Anderson Pass Road
Best to Mormon Lake

In response to an article pub
lished last week in The Mail ask
ing for information as to which
road is the best to Mormon Lake,
L. J. Bennett, of the Arizona Elec-
trio company, says that in his
opinion the Anderson Pass road is
the best and shortest route
Mr.. Bennett drove to the lake by
this route Sunday and, according to
his speedometer, the distance from
Winslow to the point where the
road strikes the lake is fifty-one
miles. From that point the road
follows the lake for a distance of
two miles until it reaches the cab
ins and resort, making fifty-three
miles the total distance from Wins
low to the resort. The trip can be
made by this route in from two and
a half to three hours, Mr.. Bennett
says.
Many people already are travel
ing this road, but as there are
several places where a stranger
could take the wrong road, the
route probably will have to be
signed before much traffic can be
directed over it. The road leaves
the Old Trails highway at the sec
ond turn to the left on the south
side of Canyon Lodge, which point
is about half mile from the lodge.
From there at every fork the right
hand road is taken except in one
instance, where the road to the
Anderson ranch cuts off. The
turns leading to Anderson Pass are
the best travelled in every case, ac-
cording to those who go to the
lake by this route
''If everyone using this road
would throw out ten boulders every
time they made a trip to the lake, -
Mr.. Bennett suggests, "the road
would soon be in excellent cOndi-
ton Of course, it wouldn't be
necessary to impose a fine if some
one happened to throw out eleven, y
he added eff everybody in the car
felt like getting out and throwing
rocks so much the better, but If
! those driving the trip would throw
out at least ten, the worst boulders
would soon be out of the way"
Mr.. Bennett says he is going to
adopt this practice anyway. and as
he makes trips frequently he may
run out of boulders before long
himself. At any rate. his sugges-
tion seems a good one. and The
Mail will be glad to start a roll of
honor and publish the names Of
those who follow Mr.. Bennett's s
suggestion, and The Mail would
like to hear also of some one who
would take it upon himself to sign
the road. If the great playground
at the lake can be brought within
fifty-three miles of Winslow for
everybody, it will make it possible
for many more people to enjoy
the camping and fishing that the
lake offers.
Who will put up the signs, This
Way to Mormon Lake?

Cantaloupe Shipments
Decline This Week

Cantaloupe shipments from the
Salt River valley to eastern mar
kets have declined appreciably in
the last few days, due to the fact
that the fields are now being irri-
gated in preparation for the second
crop. The shipments have dropped
from 225 cars per day to seventy
or eighty. 1t is expected that
shipments of $50 cars per day will
be reached next week, but the
peak of the movement has been
passed, according to reports.
A total of 2,285 cars have gone
through up to date, with about
1900 more cars expected to be
moved before the season closes.
