GOLF CLUB OFFICIALS
SELECT SITE FOR COURSE

1t looks like Flagstaff people would
be able to enjoy the opportunity to
play or try to play the great game OF
golf the coming summer, If the pres
ent plans of the newly organized club
do not miscarry.
The members of a committee ap-
pointed at the recent meeting to in
vestigate and select an available site
for the course spent couple after
moons the past week looking over the
different locations and think they
have found an ideal tract just north OF
the present city reservoir.
Members Of the committee, several
of whom have played on different
courses, feel that this spot has posi-
bilities for the making of one of the
best courses on which to play and one
of the most beautiful anywhere in the
west. Present plans are for a nine
hole course. No attempt will be made
to have a clubhouse this year.
President A. F. Haight, Secretary
Vaughn S. Mcclure, accompanied by
It. A. Riordan and number of golf
fans have been giving the matter con-
siderable attention and believe they
can have course on this location
ready for use by early spring. This
tract of land is owned partly by the
city and partly by the forestry depart
ment, and it is thought no trouble
will be experienced in making ar
rangements for its use for this pur-
pose.
The location is less than Is minutes
ride from town and can be put IN
shape with very little expense. The
ground is ideally rolling with just
enough timber and shrubbery to make
| it interesting for the little white pills
The soil is of such nature that il
quickly absorbs the moisture and-car
be played upon soon after a rain.
! AS soon as the necessary informa-
ton is secured as to what it will cost
to build the course and a definite fig
ure arrived at as membership fee
the actual work of organizing the club
will be taken up, in order that work
may start and the course be ready By
the time weather conditions will per
nit playing.

WATER
CONSUMPTION
DECREASES

1t is a source of qualification to
the town officials to note the gen
eral response that our citizens ac-
corded their appeal to save water
whenever possible. If the present
conservative use continues there
is hope that the scant supply will
serve US without further curtail-
ment until the spring thaws in
crease the inflow.
The surface flow from Schulz
pass, which it is possible to divert
into the reservoir, has not yet
started, but a week Of warm
weather or a warm rain will start
melting the snow and ice in that
pass and materially reduce the
present acute shortage, although
the quality of this water is no!
nearly as good as that secured
from the springs at the top of the
mountains.
The danger of big fire at this
time is the biggest menace to the
present situation, and along with
the water saving effort our citizens
should be particularly careful and
watchful to see that it will not be
necessary to waste large amount
of our present scanty supply of
water on destructive fire.

Scores made by the various clubs
last Sunday were:
Flagstaff, 230, Williams, 243.
Phoenix, 242; Jerome, 232.
Victory, 206; Wilcox, ITO.
Grand Canyon, 220; Prescott, 213.
Wilcox, 10; Phoenix, 232.
With the contest closing on March
Is every point counts from now on
with the three leaders fighting hard
for a distinct lead before the close.
The contests scheduled for next
Sunday follow: Phoenix VS.. Prescott;
Jerome VS.. Grand Canyon; Victory VS..
Williams; Flagstaff VS.. Wilcox.
With these contests for next Sunday
the dope sheet would show that Phoe
nix, Williams and Flagstaff should
each win their events which would
leave the leaders in the same relative
positions.
Forecasting that the contest will re-
suit in tie of the three present lead
ers the Prescott club is making an eff
fort to have the three teams meet each
other at Prescott, neutral ground, and
settle the matter. Something of this
kind will probably be arranged if the
present ratio is maintained.
The score by clubs follow:

In the Uncle Dud contest Flagstaff
came off with the big end against
Louisville, the score being 230 to 189.
Louisville reported high wind and cold
weather which accounted for their low
score.
Flagstaff holds third place in the
Uncle Dud contest as they were last
week, being headed by North Platte
and Pueblo, both of which won their
Sunday events.
Next Sunday the Flagstaff team
will shoot at 130 instead of in the
forenoon as heretofore. We shoot
against Wilcox in the state contest,
and meet the undefeated North Platte
boys in the Uncle Dud tourney.

MAY DELAY
MAINE-CANY0N
WORK

There appears to be considerable
question as to whether the work on
the Maine-Grand Canyon highway
as proposed at the recent confer
ence in Phoenix will be undertaken
as soon as expected. At this con-
ference E. S. Wheeler, district en-
gineer of the U. S. bureau of pub
lie roads; State Engineer w. c.
Lefebvre favored the appropriation
to the Grand Canyon road and F.
C. W. Pooler, district forester was
opposed to it. Pooler pointed out
that as the money for this work
would come from the forestry de-
partment and as projects now un-
der way would require much more
money in the next two years than
there was now in sight he thought
that the Grand Canyon project
should take its turn in the road
building program.
The forestry department insists
that the completion of the road
from Mormon lake south through
the Strawberry hill country is now
under construction, and a very
necessary outlet and should be COM
pleted before other projects are
taken on.
The matter will probably be
threshed out in near future con-
ference.

M'DANIELS is IDENTIFIED
BY THE PENN. OFFICERS

Indications are that Jesse F. Nc
Daniels formerly of Flagstaff is in
for bad time for several years to
come after reading the following from
the Alexandria (La.) Daily Town Talk
in their issue of February Is:
Jesse f. McDaniels, bigamist and
wife deserter, who has been confined
in the Rapides parish Jail for several
weeks and who, if statements of those
who are supposed to be In a position
to know are correct, committed these
crimes in widely separated sections of
the United States, has been conveyed
to Pittsburgh, Pa, where, it is alleged,
he escaped from the Pennsylvania
state penitentiary. McDaniels left
here last night in custody of William
E. Gaffney, field parole officer, and
j. L. Pauff, deputy warden of the
Pennsylvania penitentiary, who will
convey him to Pittsburgh and commit
him to the institution from which ne
lis alleged to have escaped several
years ago.
According to the Pennsylvania of
ficers, who identified McDaniels posi-
lively, he was tried, convicted and sem
fenced under the name of c. A. Wilson
to serve two years in the penitentiary
on the charge of larceny. They adj
vised Sheriff Downs according to that
official, that after he had served three
months of the term he effected his
escape. Previous to this, however
they declared that he had married a
young woman in Pittsburgh, by whom
he had two children. This adds an
other wife to the already long list of
wives whom McDaniels is alleged to
have married without having obtained
divorce from any of them.

FLAGSTAFF MAY BE POINT
NATIONAL AIR MAIL ROUTE

Bob Hausler of Winslow, who is
working hard to establish aviation
fields along the Santa Fe, has been
in Los Angeles interesting the cham
Der of commerce of that city In his
plans and seems to be meeting with
much encouragement.
Hausler, the Los Angeles papers an
nounce, has arranged for Landing
fields at Albuquerque, Laguna, Gal
lup, Holbrook, two at Winslow, two
at Flagstaff, and others will be form
ed at Williams, Ashfork, Seligman,
Kingman and Needles.
The following extracts from a let
ter received from Hausler by t. A.
Riordan, president of the former
chamber of commerce of Flagstaff,
and Mr. Riordan's reply, copies of both
Of which Mr.. Riordan turned over to
Dr. A. j. Mackey, president of Flag
staff Junior Chamber of Commerce,
give an insight into the interesting
plans Hausler is attempting to work
out in connection with aviation in this
section of the country:
Los Angeles, February 16
"Dear Mr.. Riordan:
"Since my arrival here | have had
very encouraging cooperation regard
ing the Arizona airplane landing
fields. The Los Angeles chamber of
commerce is much interested, as you
may see from the enclosed clippings
from the Sunday papers with the
story the chamber gave out. The avia-
ton interests also are alive to the ad-
vantages of this. l hope to arrange
for an aero photographer to fly over
the route early in the spring to take
pictures of every city and field along
it. The newspapers here are as muc1
interested as the chamber of COM
merce is.
"I hope to be back over the route
in the near future, stopping at the
cities and also checking up on as
many emergency fields as possible. If
we get this in good shape soon it may
be agitated by Los Angeles with Kan
sas City, st. Louis and other cities for
a new air-mail route direct between
here and New York instead of the
branch line to Salt Lake In that case
Flagstaff would get a government sta
ton. By this route it would be pos
sible to get Los Angeles mail in the
hands of New York business men a
day sooner than from San Francisco,
and this naturally interests them.
The difficulty has been the showing
to government officials that there are
fields enough over the mountainous
country-east of Wichita, Kansas,
there are already established aviation
fields.
"WhiIe here | ran into something
have always dreamed about in the
way of aero transportation-the use
of tonnage-carrying airships on regu-
lar schedule and also in resort ana

ONE SOON WILL BE ABLE
TO REALLY SEE CANYON

The construction of the new Yaqui
Point trail in Grand Canyon, is but a
link in comprehensive plan of trail
construction throughout Grand Can
yon national park, it is announced by
officials of the national park service.
The new trail under construction is
but the first link of a trans-canyon
trail between the north and south
rims. Two crews are hard at work on
this section, and have the work over
half completed. In the depths of
Bright Angel canyon, another crew is
blasting the second section out OF
solid granite. All plans for other sec
tions have been approved, and it is
expected that the trail will be COM
pleted by the spring of 1926.
1t is intended to make this trail the
last word in trail construction. Unlike
the present trails, the steep grades.
short zig-zags, and other features that
shake the nerves of the inexperienced
rider, will be eliminated. In addition
to these features, strong guard rails
will be placed at points where the ten
derfoot is apt to become nervous. AS
result of these precautions, it is
hoped that every one who so desires
may make trips into the canyon, with
out the ever present fear that it can
be done only at the risk of ones life.
The new trail, which will probably
be called the Kaibab trail, will shorten
the present distance between rims by
many miles, and will enable a person
wholly unaccustomed to riding to make
the two-day trip in ease and comfort.
It will put the wonders of the north
rim, including its forests and deer
herds, within easy reach of the visi-
tor to the south rim, and furnish an
easy exit for persons arriving from
the north, and who do not care to
make the long trip back to the rail
ends in southern Utah. In addition to
these advantages, it will greatly ex-
pedite the administration of the park
as a whole, thereby assuring better
service for the public.
No one has ever been able to ade-
quately describe the scenic features
of the Grand Canyon. From no other
place can this great scenic spectacle
be so intimately observed, as from the
new trail. Breath-taking views are
numerous, and, along the greater part
nearly the entire length of the canyon
contained within the park boundaries
J is constantly in view.
| Combining the scenic beauties with
the safety features, it is expected that
the trail will become the most famous
scenic trail in the world, and one
where the traveller can give his entire
thought to enjoying the wonders with
out any thought for his personal
safety.

ROTARY CLUB ENJOYS
FINE PROGRAM AND EATS

In the absence of President c. B.
Wilson and president John z.
Thomas, I. B. Koch was in the chair
at Tuesdays meeting of the Flagstaff
Rotary club, and he proceeded at once
to make it lively for those who were
late, those who brought their dogs
with them and those who forgot to
bring their song books, and, in fact,
those who did or did not do most any
thing. From the way he had the SER
geant-at-arms collecting fines we
Judge the Rotary treasury must be in
bad condition.
Mr.. Koch asked Secretary Chisholm
to read a letter received by him from
Col. f. S. Breen, describing the recep-
tion and entertainment accorded the
party of Rotarians who are touring
the world on the Belgenland when
they arrived at Kobe, Japan. 1t was
a very interesting letter, written in
the colonel's inimitable style and
brought out the fact that it was
worth something to be a Rotarian
when you are away from home.
After a number of announcements,
Mr.. Koch turned the meeting over to
w. H. Switzer, chairman of the day,
who presented one of the most in
teresting and varied programs that
the club has listened to for some time.
Rev. Jimmie Saunders was on Mr.
Switzer's program for an address on
Lincoln and Washington in commemo-
ration of their recent birthday ami
versaries, but Jimmie was called away
and he wrote his message, which was
read by DR.. Mart Fronske in very
pleasing manner. The article will be

.BERTLING WATER RIGHT
APPLICATIONS HELD UP

The applications filed by C. N.
Bertling with the state water depart
ment for the use of the water from a
number of springs on the upper
levels of the San Francisco noun
tains have been temporarily held up
and action upon the applications been
postponed for so days.
1t appears that a number of parties
are interested in these springs and in
dications are that contests will be
filed in one or more cases. There was
and still is some question as to
whether or not this would not directly
or indirectly affect the supply of
water which the city of Flagstaff ex-
poets to consume as soon as the new
water system is in operation. City
Attorney Perkins and City Engineer
Goodman are now looking into the
matter and with the go days time in
which they have to investigate there
is little possibility that the ciy's in
terests will suffer. At any time with
in the coming two months the city
can file their claim on any part of
the supply which may come under the
city's jurisdiction.
IL mas Deen suggested Indt the CITY
should file on all of these springs for
it's own protection, but that, in the
opinion of those versed in water right
matters, would be impossible and un-
necessary. The city would hardly be
able to use more water than the
springs controlled at this time pro-
duce, and they could not hold under
the present law other springs the
water from which we were not putting
to beneficial use.
Every measurement and survey
made by the engineers indicates that
we have sufficient water in the
springs now controlled if our system
was sufficiently large to take care OF
it, and unless the filings made by Mr.
Bertling appear to affect our own
supply the city will file no objections

pilot and the usual complement of
doctors and Japanese government Of
ficials.
1t kept US all standing around for a
couple hours before we all walked
past the Jap doctors to be counted and
cataIogued according to the approved
custom of greeting foreign boats at
ports. We are all getting accustomed
to being piped up on "A" deck for in
spection and are a good deal like the
persistent mover who had half dozen
chickens that became so used to the
process of moving, when they heard
the family throwing things into the
old tin washtub ready for another
move, all promptly laid down on their
backs and stuck up their feet to be
tied.
However, there was really less
fuss made about it by the japanese
custom officers than there was at
Honolulu and other United States
ports.
The steamship President Taft came
in just ahead of US. The harbor was
alive with ships and boats of all
kinds. At one time there were SO big
steamships anchored around in the
harbor. Some had just come up from
China and others from Pacific ports.
The Belgenland came up slowly to
the dock, it seemed an inch at a time,
and was snubbed to an open pier
alongside vast pier that had been
wrecked by the earthquake a year
ago last September There were hun
dreds of people lining the dock to
see the big boat come in and they
stood there in a cold drizzling rain
until the gang plank was run up. 1t
wasn't long before swarms of mer-
chants with quantity worded business

LEE FERRY ROAD TO BE SIGNED

Joe Rickel and Durward Mckinney
acting for the Junior Chamber OF
Commerce, on their recent trip to Lee
Ferry made complete log of the road
from Flagstaff to Lee Ferry, record
ing all distances between all branch
roads, springs, settlements and Sc
forth. Signs will be painted and
placed on this road as soon as COM
pleted. They went out by way OF
Moencopi wash and returned through
Tuba City. They found the road ex-
cellent all the way with the exception
of the last 10 miles this side of the
river. The water in the Colorado river
is SO low that it is impossible to oper-
ate the ferry at this time. This is
the lowest that the river has been for
several years. As soon as the weather
warns up in the Rockies, the flow will
rapidly increase.

FLAGSTAFF ON ROUTE OF
TRANS-CONTINENTAL TOUR

If the present plans of the Motor
ways Tours company of New York
are carried out as outlined by Royal
R. Sibley, president, and W. H. Starr,
e-president, who are in the city this
week, Flagstaff will be placed on the
main line of the tours of this COM
pany which will begin operating trans
continental motor cars this spring.
More than that Flagstaff will be
one of the important points on the
route, all motors stopping here for
better than half day and over night.
This will give the patrons of the line
an opportunity to visit some of the
points of interest about Flagstaff, and
incidentally spend some money with
our people.
This is the same company which
made trial trip over the route last
fall, arriving here December 6, and
proceeding on to Los Angeles. This
trip proved complete success and
regular cars will be operated over the
route during the coming season, be-
ginning about June /.
The route of these big Packard
busses with capacity of 20 passen-
gers leads over the Lincoln highway
from New York to Big Springs, Neb.,
then they turn southwark, down
through Denver and Colorado Springs,
and strike the Old Trails highway at
Trinidad, following it straight through
to the coast. The trip will be made in
80 days, which includes one day stops
at number of important points, and
shorter time at others.
The company has been operating
cars over fixed routes in the east for
number of years, and this year ex-
poets to add the trans sentimental trip,
which they designate as their grand
tour" Mr.. Sibley in his talk at the
Rotary club Tuesday noon stated that
this route was chosen because it of
fers the greatest diversity of scenery
and variety of attractions of any such
trip in the entire world, and he had
seen them all.

Yokohama, japan, Jan. 18.

IokOHdTnd, Japan, Jan. 10.
Z "Ohayo," folks. That's good morn
ing in Japan, and it sounds like plain
"Ohio" in our exchange.
Sunday, January IL, we landed twice
at Yokohama. Once in the mud be-
fore entering the harbor and couple
hours later at the dock Someone on
board ran the old barge into the mud
by taking the haw side of a buoy in
stead of the portside. When we
struck and the engineer stepped on
the juice with both feet he churned
up a fine quality of seabottom mud
and disturbed fish for several blocks
around, but it didn't get US anywhere.
The passengers romped from one
end of the boat to the other offering
suggestions quite profusely Finally
someone, it may have been either one
of the passengers, the engineer or
captain-I was unable to ascertain
which--hit on the novel plan of try
ing to back off the high center, as
long as we couldn't go ahead. Within
half hour after the engineer had
wound his screws backward with a
great deal of noise, gusto and churn-
ing or water, the ola D0aC commenced
slipping back into deeper water. You
see it takes about 40 feet of water to
float this tub and we had gone in
where the fish were using only about
27 feet. Some of the sailors analyzed
the water with a piece of lead on a
rope, which eventually convinced the
passengers that it was our close prox-
unity to the bottom of the ocean that
made the boat stick that way.
When we backed up and went
around on the red side of the buoy,
which authorities agree, always is the
proper side to take, we soon picked up
