PRESIDENTS SPECIAL
COMMITTEE AT CANYON

The presidents coordinating COM
mittee has been visiting the Grand
Canyon this week, having come in
from the north side Of the canyon
from an extended trip through other
parks and national forests.
The committee is headed by Con-
gressman Henry w. Temple of Penn
sylvania as chairman. The citizen
members of the committee are Arthur
c. Ringland, at one time district for
ester of this district, now secretary
of the recreational association; Bar
rington Moore, formerly of the forest
service. In the party are Stephen T.
Mathers, director of the national park
service; L. T. Kneipp, chief of the
land division of the forest service, who
is representing Col. VIM. B. Greeley,
chief forester, who was called to Salt
Lake to attend the meetings Of the
senatorial investigating committee.
On Wednesday the party made an
inspection trip on the south rim and
held a hearing for cattle and sheep
men who might desire to bring any
thing before them Dirstrict Forester
Pooler and Supervisor Kimball of
"
as we're a number Of stockmen who
have ranges in that section.
Just the scope of endeavor this
committee covers we are not advised
but presume it will include all activi-
ties of the forest and park services,
and public lands in general as we'll as
the suggested change of the Grand
Canyon national park boundaries.
Congressman Hayden, who had been
in the north, joined the party at Grand
Canyon Sunday.
The committee arrived in Flagstaff
yesterday afternoon and spent the
balance of the day visiting the Fort
Valley forest experimental station.
Returning to Flagstaff, an informal
open meeting was held at the office
of E. G. Miller, forest supervisor,
where a few local stockmen and 9TH
ers interested in their work were
present.
Congressman Temple advises that
this committee, which was appointed
for the purpose of coordinating ma
tional forests and parks, has been un-
animous in the decisions made so far.
AT Grand Canyon, the committee"
said Congressman Temple, thought
it best to recommend a few changes
in the boundary lines between the ma
tional park and the national forest in
which some additional lands were
taken into the park and some eXclud-
ed, after hearing those who wished to
appear. Our aim has been merely to
better adjust lines in the interests Of
all concerned for a better administra-
ton, taking into consideration local
interests as we'll as that of the gov
ernment," said the genial Pennsyl-
yania congressman.
Congressman Hayden, who met the
party at Grand Canyon, and L. I.
Kneipp of the forest service left the
party at Williams for the south.

HON. BILLY GRAHAM HERE

Hon. "Billy" Graham Of Phoenix
was in Flagstaff Tuesday. Billy was
a member of the house in the First
state legislature and was one of the
most indefatigable workers of that
notable session. Els main object in
life is to gouge precious metals out of
the earth, that is, when he is not en-
gagged in helping the democratic party
snatch the offices away from the re-
publicans. Billy was back of about
all the legislation proposed for the
benefit of the workingman and was
successful in most cases.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
MOVES TO NEW HOME

Roger Birdseye, secretary Flagstaff
chamber of commerce, moved on Tues
day from the T. E. Pollock Investment
Co. building to the balcony in the rear
of Carl Mayhew's photo and curio
store. With Carl's photos and collec-
ton, showing Arizona pictorially and
the Indians handiwork, strangers con-
sulting Roger viii have to pass
through barrage of almost irresistible
Arizona propaganda that should then
and there wean them from any other
state or locality and make them for
Flagstaff first, Arizona secon,l, and
both all of the time.

CRUELTY OF ILLEGAL HUNTERS

Game Warden Jack Fuss heart is
just about busted at the wanton kill
ing of young doe which left fawn
to starve. He discovered the tragedy
on Woody hill a few miles south of
Flagstaff and took kodak picture to
show what heartless hunters can do.
The chicken-hearted hunter shooting
out of season, had shot the doe
through the neck and committed il
legal murder along with cruelty in
starving sucking fawn to death.
One can not help but favor Jacks
attitude,against such hunters and wish
him luck in having them, punished.

DEER ARE SCATTERED NOW ON
THE KAIBAB SAYS WILLARD

State Game Warden Willard was in
Flagstaff Wednesday on his way to
Phoenix from the Kaibab forest on
the north rim of Grand Canyon.
Warden Willard says range condi-
tions have improved over there the
past year and it is now impossible to
see deer in large bands as was pos
sible last year. Mr.. Willard does not
believe the deer perished but owing to
good feed have scattered out over a
greater area of country.
The deer he saw were in fine condi-
tion having fattened rapidly since the
rains on mushrooms. Oak and other
browse had been cleaned up on trees
as high as the deer could reach dur
ing the drouth season,

FOUND LOTS OF WATER
ON THE RESERVATION

Alfred Skeels, chairman of the
county board of supervisors, and
Sheriff John Parsons, who, accompan-

ris, assistant clerk of the board, had
been on ten-day official trip up into
the Fredonia country, returned on Sat-
urday. They went by way of Needles
and st. George, returning by way Of
Lees Ferry. 1t took a whole day to
get from Lees Ferry to Tuba City,
there having been so much rain that
many of the arroyas were running
full, though at the ferry they found
the Colorado river lower than it had
been for years-so low, in fact, that
the sand made it hard to work the
ferry boat across.

STATE FAIR SECRETARY HERE

Joe Dillon, former U. S. marshal,
now secretary of the state fair, was in
Flagstaff Tuesday advertising the big
coming event this fall. He offers a
novel inducement to attend this year

missioners have come to the conclu-
sion that since the state puts up the
money for the fair the people are en-
titled to see it free and enjoy it to the
full. This will be the only free state
fair we know of in the country and it
should have a record attendance this
year.

council his resignation as police mag

"Doc" was appointed to the place last
year, at the first meeting following

gave as his reason for resignation the
fact that he is now keeping books at
the White Garage for Jim Tillman and
feels that he hasn't time to properly
care for the duties of the magistrate.
However, the resignation will not be
accepted until the next meeting of

Wheat Damaged by Winter killing

Ohio wheat can hardly be more
than two-thirds of crop this year
unless the weather from now until
harvest is very favorable. The dam
age from winter killing in the west
ern and southwestern counties of
the state is perhaps Vie worst on
record for those sections There is
good wheat in the northern half of
the state, but in very few sections is
the condition Of wheat much above
average. The United States winter
wheat outlook is the lowest since
1917 and is about 200 below last
year, according to Statistician West
of the State Federal Crop Reporting
Service.
The Ohio condition of wheat is
estimated at 61%o of a normal crop.
Conditions are especially low in
Clinton, Fayette, Pickaway, Cham
paign Mercer, Auglaize, Union,
Franklin and bordering counties In
some of these counties the prospects
do not indicate more than a quarter
of a crop. The Ohio condition a
year ago was 1870 as compared with
this years 61% while on the first of
April in 1928 the esNmated condi
tion was 77%s. Last years Ohio
crop was 37,3OOO00 bushels
The damage apparently came
largely from the ice and freezes of
the latter part of the winter. The
excessively cold weather at the be-
ginning of March was especially Sc
we're. The dry weather OF the past
few weeks has not improved the out
look. 1t is felt in some sections that
warm wet weather might cause some
of the plants to take better roots
and grow.
