The dispatch advising that Presi
dent Coolidge in his special deficiency
message to congress asked that $780,
900 be set aside for the construction
of bridge across the Colorado river
at Lees Ferry, gave one the erroneous
impression that it was an additional
100000 to the original appropria-
ton of 100000 made contingent on
Arizona appropriating similar
amount. President Coolidge's request
will merely reinstate the old appro-
priation to be held until the state Of
Arizona matches it with a like
amount. 1t is hoped that the next
legislature will make the necessary
appropriation.
The Arizona Gazette has this to
say relative to the Importance of
opening up north and south high
way through the state. (The map was
prepared and used by courtesy of The
Gazette).
The map shows how this bridge
may be utilized by Arizona people IN
reaching the great Kaibab forest and
the most scenic part of the state. So
far but few people here have visited
the Kaibab forest. But the highway
already completed as indicated on this
map, and the proposed highway, will
enable all Arizona and all tourists to
see one of the most interesting parts
of the state that has heretofore been
but little seen. The new highway will
be constructed through to Spf1ngdale,
Utah, where it connects with the rail-
road, and affords still another splen-
did entrance into Arizona.
The proposed new highway will
open up the northern Arizona strip
section of unparalleled scenic grand
eur and beauty. From Flagstaff to
Cameron, a small Indian trading post
on the little Colorado river, the road
today is in good condition. From
Cameron to Lees Ferry the road is
one of the worst in the state. With the
completion of the bridge across the
Colorado and the Improvement of
this highway the trip may be made
into the Kaibab forest in from II to
Ia hours easy driving.
The completion of the bridge not
only will open up one of the most
picturesque scenic parts of the state,
but it will make it possible for tour
lists and travellers, as we'll as local
people throughout the state, to see the

TRAPS MANY RABBITS

An Arizona professional trapper
secures supply Of fresh meat with
very little trouble. He finds a rabbit
run and in it sinks a five gallon oil
can, over which he rigs two balanced
boards that tip inward at the center
and that are hinged at the sides.
Upon these Boards he places some
fodder that is acceptable to the bum
nies. He tells that in the morning he
has found as many as eight rabbits
securely penned below in a single
trap.
