NAVAJ0S HAD REGULAR
TIME AT TUBA SUNDAY

Navajo and Hopi Indians at Tuba
City had the time of their lives there
Sunday at the biggest affair at which
they ever officiated-their picnic and
field day. There were 1000 Indians
present and about 500 whites. The
utmost order prevailed throughout
the day, the Indian boys making
themselves generally useful in car
rying out Superintendent c. L. Walk
cr's instructions. They made fine
ushers and couriers.
There was concert by the Indian
school band, big barbecue, moving
pictures two nights, showing The
Heritage of the Desert and The Cow
cred Wagon; horse races, chicken
pull, athletics of all kinds.
This was the first affair Of the
kind in the Navajo country, and Sup
erintendent Walker, who planned and
gave the affair, and who was in
Flagstaff on Monday, said that it
was such a success and was so thor
oughly enjoyed by everybody that 1t
win by no means be the last. There
was no gambling or drinking and no
disputes over the awarding of the
prizes. The Indians seemed to fully
appreciate the event, which really
was in their honor, and did every
thing they could to make it sue
cess and to entertain themselves and
their white neighbors.
Memorial day was celebrated at
Tuba City this year for the first
time. The Navajos have n superstl-
tious dread of being anywhere near
dead people or graves. But under
the coaching of Mr.. Walker and his
assistants, appropriate exercises were
held and the graves decorated and
the Indian children taking part IN
the ceremony went through it all in
fine style.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC MEN
COMING TO PLAN DETOUR

According to word received by the
local Chamber of Commerce from
Peter Riley, mayor of Clifton, Flag
staff is to be one of the stops of The
inspection committee sent out by the
Southern Pacific railway and to be
here the latter part of this month.
Mr.. Riley said that the Southern
Pacific is definitely interested in
routing transcontinental tourists over
their Clifton division from Lordsburg
to Clifton, then by motor over the
Clifton-Springerville highway to
Springerville; then possibly over the
National Old Trails to Flagstaff. and
Grand Canyon; and south through
Prescott to Phoenix, where the rail
journey will be resumed to Califor-
MIA.
1t is quite evident that such plan
would be extremeley advantageous to
Flagstaff and accordingly every ef-
fort will be made to properly enter
tain this group of visiting railroad
officials.
J. D. Mason, general passenger
agent will head this party according
to word received from William
Sproule, president of the Southern
Pacific. Gustave Becker, secretary
of the Springerville Chamber of Com
mercc will escort the party from that
city to Flagstaff, where we will take
charge of them, taking them to the
Grand Canyon and other points of
interest in and around Flagstaff.
