Old Trails Highway
Flagstaff to Canyon
Padre To Be Surfaced

Bids are being called for June 80
for placing of asphalt macadam
surfacing on the Flagstaff Angel
Forest highway. according to E. S.
Wheeler, district engineer of the
United States bureau of public
roads.
This project commences at the
eastern boundary of the city of
Flagstaff and runs east for a dis
tance of 23.44 miles, to a point on
the main east and west federal
highway known as Canyon Padre.
The grading work was completed
on June 4, and the next step is that
of surfacing the project.
Upon a limestone base four and
half inches in thickness, a perma-
nent surface two and half inches
thick will be laid. This surface will
be asphaltic concrete, hot penetra-
tion method.
The mineral aggregate will be
local lava rOCk, on WnaL is conf
monty known as "malapais stone"
Throughout the northern part of
the state unlimited deposits of NAL
apais are to be found, but due to
extreme hardness and lack of bind
ing quality, it has been of no value
as a road material
Recently laboratory experiments,
however, have demonstrated its
suitability in asphaltic pavements.
Such pavement should have a long
life and admit of very low mainte-
nance costs.
Since gravel or macadam road
surfacing wears away at the rate of
approximately one-half inch a year,
and also since, due to lack of sand
and scarcity of water in the vicinity
of the project, concrete pavement is
prohibitive, it is believed that this
intermediate type of pavement will
solve the road problem for a very
large highway mileage in the south
west.

FARM CROPS OF
STATE SHOWING
GOOD PROGRESS

Growing crops have made excel
lent progress and from the produc-
tion point of view favorable sea-
son is indicated in the major agri-
cultural districts of the state, ac-
cording to officials of the Arizona
Industrial Congress, who have re-
Gently completed a survey of the
state.
The survey shows that the canta-
loupe acreage of the Salt River val
ley has increased from $500 to
nearly 5000 acres. The officials
of the Industrial Congress esti-
mate that the movement of canta-
loupes will begin about June 25 and
that 5000 cars will be shipped
f1om the district this year.
Private reports gathered by the
congress indicate that there are
approximately 10000 acres of cot
ton planted this year in Maricopa
county and the Gila Bend district,
where the acreage harvested will
depend largely on the flow of the
Gila river.
Cotton acreage in other counties
follows: Yuma, $4,000; Pima, 12.-
500; Graham, 5000; Pinal, 5000;
Greenlee, 1000; Cochise, 1000, and
Mohave 400.
Winter wheat is being harvested
throughout the state with an esti-
mate of 595 900 bushels for the en-
tire state. Late paintings and
spring wheat will greatly increase
these figures, according to the re-
mort

SECOND Unit
OF SWEENEY
ADDITION TO
BE DIVIDED

Making the second division OF
what is known as the Sweeney
Heights Addition, conceded to be
the most desirable residence dis
trict within the city limits, three
city blocks facing Maple avenue
from the north were opened up
this week. The blocks are bounded
on the east by Berry avenue and
on the west by Prairie street, and
are divided into lots 25x142 feet.
the lots to be sold in pairs as resi-
dence property only. There are
thirty-two pairs in all in the new
division, which is the same num-
Der contained by the first division
that was opened up on the opposite
side of Maple between the same
streets, early in the spring. OF the
new division, fourteen pairs of lots
already have been sold.
Building restrictions applying to
the second division will be Identical
with those of the first division. The
first restriction is that the property
shall not be sold, rented, leased or
occupied by others than those be-
longing to the Caucasian race. An
other is that no building shall be
erected at cost of less than $4,000.
All buildings will be built to face
the direction the lots face on the
plat, and the front of all buildings
shall be twenty-five feet from the
front line of the property. These
restrictions are incorporated in the
agreement of sale signed on pur-
chase of the lots. In this way the
property will always remain a high
class residential district, Mr..
Sweeney says.
Sidewalks have been laid along
the front of the new lots across
the whole distance of the three
blocks and water, gas and sewers
will be put in in short time. AS
all the owners of lots in the first
division and those who have bought
in the second division have signed
up to have the street in front of
their places surfaced, paving with
blue granite rock will start tomor-
row on three blocks of street be-
tween the two divisions, with Ben
F. Evans & Son as contractors.
The work will be supervised by
City Engineer H. r. Lendecke and
will be conducted in accord with
all legal qualifications required by
the state and city.
The surfacing will be nine inches
in thickness and will be put on
after the street has been graded
and dug down below the present
surface line of the street The dirt
taken out in the excavating will be
used to make fills in several places
on the new property. The gravel
will be taken from the hill north
of the tract from which the sur
facing was taken for the road from
the roundhouse west to the county
line

Cattle Condition Is
Improved Due to
Favorable Weather

Favorable weather during the
last month has resulted in consid-
cradle improvement in cattle con-
ditions, according to a report by
officials of the Arizona Industrial
Congress, who have recently COM
pleted a survey of range and cattle
conditions. Scattered showers in
various sections of the state have
benefited the ranges, according 20
the report, although additional
precipitation is badly needed, par
ticularly in the southern part Of
the state.
Market conditions are reported
as showing considerable strength
and fat cattle prices are being
maintained at good level. Arizona
cattlemen are showing considerable
interest in the operation of the Ari
California Cooperative Mar
keting association, according to re-
ports received by the congress, and
many are convinced that the CO.
operative movement will result in
much good to the cattlemen of the
state, officials declared.
The movement of sheep to the
northern ranges ended in May and
range conditions are reported good.
The stockmen of the state held
several meetings with Col. w. B.
Greeley, chief of the forest service,
during the month relative to graz
ing rules adopted by the service,
and presented their problems to
him for consideration in an effort
to obtain more favorable ruling
regarding proposed reductions in
the stock permitted to Craze on
forest lands. The question of an
equitable adjustment of grazing
fees also was presented at these
conferences.

CAMMACE IS
OFFERED HIGH
POSITION At
NAN. SCHOOL

Grady Gammage, for four years
with the Winslow public schools,
two years as principal of the high
school and two years as superin-
tendent of the city schools, was
yesterday elected by the board OF
trustees of the Northern Arizona
Teachers college, at Flagstaff, to be
director of the training school
there. The position offered Mr.
Gammage carries with it a mate
rial increase in salary over the sit
uation he holds here, and is an
important step in Mr.. Gammage's
progress into the field of educa-
tional executives.
For some time it has been felt
that Mr.. Gammage would be offered
a position higher in his work than
the one he occupies here, and at
the commencement exercises of the
IJHO Cldoo q Low udyO d6O IL was
publicly intimated by r. D. Nc
Gregor, president of the school
board, that sometime ir the near
future the board Htuld be ccm-
PEELED to choose d successor to Mr.
Gammage.
A meeting of the board will be
hold fhic nunniYn of uhinh If
expected that Mr.. Gammage will
tender his resignation, although
this morning, when notified of his
election to the head of the training
school of Teachers college, Mr..
Gammage stated that the notice
was too sudden for him to make a
definite statement for this issue of
The Mail. He states that the four
years he has spent in Winslow have
largely been in preparation for an
extensive program of constructive
work and that next year he had
hoped to begin putting into opera
tion some of the plans he had for
mulated, and that if he left at this
time his successor would have to
spend many months in surveying
the field and making his own
plans for the future.
Members of the local board feel
that Mr.. Gammage will be entirely
justified in accepting the position at
Flagstaff, as it will no doubt leaG
to greater opportunities and re-
sponsibilities in the educational
field. Mr. Gammage will give the
matter consideration and definitely
decide before this evenings meeting
whether he will stay here or accept
the offer, so that the board may
proceed at once to find some one
to take his place. A number Of
applications are on file with the
board, some of them from men of
great qualifications and recon-
mendations.
The teaching positions for the
coming year in Winslow have
mostly been filled, twenty-three of
the thirty-five teachers being elect
ed to succeed themselves.

FLAG ETIQUETTE
FOR THOSE WHO
HONOR AMERICA

On Flag Day, June IA, 1923, rep
resentatives of more than sixty
eight patriotic organizations met in
Washington for a conference under
the auspices of the National Ameri-
caniSm Commission of the Aneri-
can Legion to draft an authentic
code of etiquette, for while it is the
province of the war department to
prescribe rules and regulations
governing the use of the flag for
observance with the army, it was
beyond its power to prescribe rules
for observance by civilians. Conse-
quently it was this body which for
mulated the rules concerning flag
etiquette which should now be OBJ
served whenever and wherever the
flag is displayed.
A thing often done with the flag
which according to this body should
not be, is drapin git. The flag un-
der no circumstances should be
displayed as drape over a desk,
on a wall or over a chair, the body
voted. If the flag is to be put on
wall, it should be tackled flat with
the blue field to the right, whether
the flag is hung horizontally or YER
tically, and it should not be used as
scarf on a desk or chair. Red,
white and blue bunting 81 made for
this purpose. When not used flat.
the flag should be displayed from
a mast. When flags of several
nations are displayed together, the
United States flag should be to the
right except when in group ar
ranged so that one flag stands in
the center and above the others.
In this case the American flag
should be at the peak.
The proper way for the civilian
man to saulte the flag is to remove
the headdress with the right hand
and hold it at the left shoulder.
Women should salute by placing the
right hand over the heart. The sa-
Lutte to the flag in the moving col
umn is rendered at the moment
the flag passes.
The American flag is the third
Oldest of the national standards of
the world; older than the Union
Jack of Britain or the Tricolor of
France.

Male GIee Club Will
Be Organized, Is Plan

Plans are almost complete for
the organization of male glee
club and chorus to be made up of
residents of Winslow. Between ten
and fifteen men already have sig
nified their desire to join such an
organization and undoubtedly there
will be more to join within a short
time, it is believed by those already
interested in the plan.
Rev. F. r. Speck, because of the
wide experience he has had in this
line of work, will direct the club
after it's organization. Rev. Mr..
Speck during wartime directed regi-
mental choruses Of hundreds OF
men and is man Of extensive
musical training.
That Winslow needs such a
chorus is a fact which has long
been admitted and the new organ
ization undoubtedly will fill an i'm
portant niche in Winslow's social
and entertainment functions.
