Flagstaff is unusual in it's climatic
conditions and scenery. Our indus

coming this slogan that is to be used
in all our publicity.

ENLARGING S. F. FREIGHT
HOUSE, WIDENING STREET

Changes we'll under way will great
ly increase the facilities of and con-
venience in handling freight at the
local Santa Fe railway freight house.
In the old stone passenger depot
the waiting and baggage room floors
are being raised about three feet to
make them box-car-floor height. The
freight depot is being moved west
and south, to be connected by CO.
foot shed with the old depot. The
unloading platform will be much
longer than the present one, and
there will also be much more room
for automobile trucks and wagons.
Moving the freight house sets it
farther inside the railway company's
property line, so that the roadway
north of it will be entirely on COM
pany property At the present To-
cation, the driveway is elevated on
Railroad avenue and takes up about
a 10-foot strip Of street space. This
will be leveled, restoring the street
to its normal width at that point,
which will be a big advantage, as
there is much traffic there, especial
ly as two big garages are directly
across the street.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
ORGANIZES TENNIS CLUB

y Tuesday night the office of the
Chamber of Commerce saw the offic-
ial organization of a tennis club for
Flagstaff, when Ernest Coulter was
appointed temporary president and
Miss Anna Riordan temporary secre-
tary.
Keen anticipation and enthusiasm
was evidenced at this first meeting

pose of a special committee which
was appointed by Dr. A. J. Mackey,
acting for the board of directors of
the Chamber of Commerce, to look
into the matter of a location and the
type of courts which the club will
build. Several types We're suggested,
but it was thought that to do the best
by the organization this matter
should be carefully investigated be-
fore plans were submitted for actu-
al building.
The committee, composed OF sthe
president and secretary and Mr.. Slade,
will study details and location and
within a week or ten days call an
other meeting to definitely line q pro-

FRANK BROOKS HAS A
CITY WITHIN A CITY

Housing for tourists and summer
visitors is problem that Frank
Brooks has begun helping a lot to
solve.
Twelve cottages without garages,
eight combination cottage garage
buildings and 20 garages-these all
he put into service and immediate
full-up use few days ago at his
service station just west of his store.
Frank has a full city block there,
and he's using it. He expects before
long to have 16 additional rooms in
one of the buildings.
Each cottage has bed, mattress and
springs, benches and table, and IS
electrically lighted. One row Of cot
tages is fronted by a 100-foot We
randa.
Centrally located with respect to
the cottages is cook-house, with
eight-foot range, for the free use OF
patrons. This is connected to heat
water and comes in handy with the
free hot and cold shower baths pat
rons also may have without extra
charge. Stationery wash tubs soon
will be installed, the idea, Frank says,
being to give the tourist "a home
away from home"
The service station also has rest
room and toilets. 1t has two gas
pumps, with three passage ways.
Frank LaScala is manager for Mr..
Brooks of the new colony and every
place is full every night.

GREET NEW HOTEL WITH
CLEAN GRIN; CAMP PAICN
FOR CLEANUP SOON POPS

Get ready for our new hotel" will
be the slogan to be used in the City
Beautiful campaign which will take
place during August and September.
This campaign arises out of a decid-
ed need of the people of Flagstaff
to pull weeds, NOV lawns, paint
houses, chicken coops, fences-in fact
everything that will put us in the
proper shape to receive our potential
visitors on February /, when our new
community hotel throws open its
doors.

will have on her best 'bib and tuck
er" and be ready to give a cordial
and immaculate bow to our coming
visitors.
In order to put this cleanup cam
paign over in a most novel and inter-
esting manner, ideas are being secur-
ed from the entire country where SIM
liar campaigns have been in progress,
so that when the trumpet blows for
the opening day all hands will be
ready to go.
"This won't be an ordinary cam
paign," said Miss Costigan, "but one
that will be entirely different from
anything Flagstaff has even accom-
plished.
"Our new hotel has set the pace,
and we are close behind. When every
thing is in readiness to go, we ask
that everyone boost as he or she has
never boosted before. Talk about it,
write about it for if you do that, we
are sure to win out.
inducements will be offered all
along the way for you to do these
things for your city, so get in line,

The information came in letter
from the Chamber, which said, in
part:
'The Los Angeles Chamber for the
last three months has had a commit
tee looking into the wool situation.
On that committee are practical men
representing all the problems con-
nected with wool.
"The outstanding fact is that the
states of California, Arizona, Nevada,
New Mexico and Utah produce annu-
ally over 50,000,000 pounds of wool,
or about one-quarter of the entire
production of the United States; that
Los Angeles through its own harbor
offers the logical channel for sending
this wool to eastern markets; that it
also is developing a large consump-
tion of wool in its own factories, and
that by reason of the experience and
facilities of its banking, warehousing
and handling interests, it should be
able to handle the wool crop of these
states to great advantage. And yet
with all these things in its favor, Los
Angeles has been handling only a
very small amount of wool for the
last few years.
GAS / see it, the first thing that
you need to know when you consider
shipping your wool via Los Angeles
is the comparative freight rate. l
understand that a considerable part
of all the wool in Arizona is clipped
near Phoenix, although your ranges
lie closer to Flagstaff At present
the schedule of rates from Phoenix
to Boston is practically identical with
the rates via Galveston to Los Ange-
les. Allowing for all necessary hand
ling, insurance, wharfage, ETC., the
rate via Galveston is $2.38, while the
The Coconino sun., 1926-07-16

freight via Los Angeles is $2.41.
With the reduction in rates however,
which has just been announced for
the future by both the Santa Fe and
Southern Pacific railroads, the rate
via Los Angeles viii be less than $2.05
which will give clear advantage of
over 80 cents per 100 pounds by the
southern California route.
''In the past we have not had any
licensed wool warehouse in Los Ange-
les. Today we have two. These
warehouses are prepared to handle
wool at storage rates lower than any
other wool warehouse on the Pacific
coast. Taking the published rates
elsewhere on the coast and firguring
the cost of storing 100 pounds of
wool for three months, including load
ing, unloading, weighing in and out
of storage, and insurance, the figures
at Los Angeles are about IL 9-10
cents, those in San Francisco II 2-3
cents and those in Portland 13 2-3
cents. So you see there is saving
by storing in Los Angeles. These
warehouses have qualified wool grad
ers who can grade the wool at sat
isfactory price.
Don't forget that in storing wool
at warehouse in Los Angeles har-
Dor and the shipping it by water,
there is a very appreciable gain in
weight. On Arizona wool this gain
will be probably at least three pounds
per 100, which means about 81 in
your pocket for every 100 pounds you
ship.

pounds of wool in our own factories

MANY FOREST FIRES

Forty fires have been handled very
recently by the local forest service
office which goes to show just how
critical the fire situation is at pres
ent. The country is as dry as tinder
and since all of the storms have been
merely local they have not offset the
high winds and lightning which ac-
companied them. There were two
fires in the cinder district this week;
one east of O'Leary probably burned
several days before it was discovered.
Ranger oldham reports a serious
shortage of water on the north end
of the Flagstaff district. Even less
water is available at present than
during the peak Of the drouth.
