SURVEY FOR LEES FERRY BRIDGE NOW
COMPLETED AND PLANS FOR STRUCTURE
NOW BEING PREPARED AT WASHINGTON

GRAND CANYON - Recent re-
ports reaching the office of the sup
erintendent of Grand Canyon ma
tional park, indicate that prelimin-
ary surveys of the Lees Ferry
bridge site across the Colorado
River have been completed, and
plans for the structure are now
being prepared by the U. S. Bureau
of Public Roads.
According to information receiv-
ed here, two sites, especially, are
being given consideration. Both
are about six miles below the pres.
ent ferry. and differ only in their
elevation above the river and
length of span.
The lower span is the, shorter,
and consequently the cheaper of the
two, however, the approaches will
involve a considerable amount of
heavy road construction, and un-
der the best of conditions these
will not be entirely satisfactory
On the upper site the span will
be between the top walls of Mar
bic Canyon, and at this point the
floor of the bridge will be about
400 feet above the river. The walls
OF the canyon are practically a
sheer drop from level plain, and
cars can be driven overland to
either end of the proposed bridge
now, so there will be put little eA-
penSe involved in building the ap-
proaches. This is the location Sc
lected by the Denver and Rio
Grande Railroad in 1883 Jas the
point where they would cross the
Colorado River with their then pro-
posed north and south main line.
If bridge can be built here with
the amount of money available, it
will be given preference ovey all
Others, but the indications are that
this can hardly be accomplished.
Either of these bridges will
shorten the distance from Winslow
or Flagstaff to Fredonia by about

Santa Fe To Build New
Branch Out OF Phoenix
Announced This Week

PHOENIX-The building of a
new branch line by the Santa Fe
railroad Is miles in length, thru
the Bearsley tract in the northern
Salt River district, was announced
this week by w. K. Etter, general
manager of the Santa Fe coast
lines, who is in Phoenix on bust
ness and is accompanied by H. p.
Anewalt, general freight agent.
Mr.. Etter also announced that more
than $21, 100000 had been spent by
the Santa Fe railroad in the state
of Arizona in the past few years,
with a program involving several
millions additional in the develop
ment of the Salt River valley thru
providing transportation facilities
yards and tracks as the. grower,
shipper and other industries de-
manded, all revolving around Phoe-
nix
The Santa Fe's immediate pro-
gram, it was stated, calls for. an
outlay of three-quarters Of mil
lion dollars in the development of
a train yard, mechanical facilities
and shops on what is known as
The Christy Ranch in the western
part of the city, which was pur-
chased by the railway company last
summer and in the ballasting of
fifteen miles of it's line from PhOe-
nix north, all of which is now un
der way Added to this is the one
half. million dollars expended the
past summer for additional track
and yards. in and adjacent to Phoe-
nix
Few people in and around Phoe-
nix doubtless fully realize what the
Santa Fe has done and is planning
to do for the Salt River valley and
the northern part of the state of
Arizona. We have done big things
in quiet way during the last few
years-so big that the figures when
put together astound even those ac-
customed to speaking lin terms of
millions" said Mr.. Etter, land we
intend to continue a consistent pro-
gram of enlargement and improve
ment in keeping with the develop
ment of the state.
"We are now engaged in better
ments on the line south of Ash
fork which have cost $3,500,000 so
far, which is of direct benefit to
Phoenix and this agricultural val
ley, Heavier steel, better roadbed,
sidings, yards and other facilities
have hppn nrOVidpd
"The Santa Fe has for years been
adding to Phoenix and is taking
nothing away. The Santa Fe gave
Phoenix a one-Ownership line to
Chicago and established last year
through Pullman service to that
city which is of great benefit in en-
couraging tourist travel to your
city"
The general manager said that
100000 has been expended by the
advertising and publicity depart
ments Of the Santa Fe this winter
to encourage a heavier travel to
Arizona. Furthermore, the indus
trial department is lending it's eff
forts toward encouraging new in
dustries The freight department
is constantly improving it's service
to the grower and shipper, and by
reason of the heavier steel and fine
roadbed south of Ashfork the larg-
est locomotives of the system are
being used to haul the tremendous
production out of this valley.

Fire Department
Ouells Small Blaze
In The South Side

Answering a call to the South
Side early Monday morning, the
city fire department, although
handicapped by bad roads, reached
the scene of the fire in time to pre-
vent any great damage. The blaze
was in a garage owned by one
Orozco, a Mexican, and when the
fire fighters arrived, three houses
were threatened by the spreading
flames. This was the first actual
test of the big American-La France
pumper, but only the small hose
and low pressure were used.

.ROTARIANS URGED
TO CAST BALLOTS
ON ELECTION DAY

AdmoniShing his hearers on their
obligations to their state, and urg-
ing them to vote Tuesday, regard
less of party or inclination, just
as long as they voted, Sam Proc
tor Wednesday addressed the Ro-
tary club at their regular meet
ing. Mr.. Proctor was the featured
speaker on a program presented by
Walter Olds.
With two elections coming up,
one for various state and county
officers, the other for a member OF
the school board, it is the duty of
every qualified elector to cast his
vote in an attempt to elect the man
he honestly thinks is the best man
for the job, said Mr. Proctor.
Discussion of this question
among the membership followed,
and ended in a motion being pass
ed which called for the fning of
every Rotary member who failed to
vote at either of the elections. This
punishment will be $1.00 fine for
failing to vote at the school cleo
ton, and $3.50 for not casting a
general election ballot.
A. F. Switzer, visiting Rotarian
from Holbrook, also spoke few
words on the matter, urging every
Rotarian to avail himself of his
right of franchise. G. H. Madden,
Winslow school superintendent, ex-
planned the qualifications of voters
who will cast ballots at the school
election.
w. T. Butler gave a masterful
reading of list of "32 Ways To
Kill An Organization" the signi-
ficance of which was clearly un~
derstood by the membership.
Next weeks program is to be one
of the most important of the year,
coming simultaneously with Faith
er and Son Week" and National
Education Week r. M. Bruchman
gave a preliminary talk on rela-
tions between father and son, his
subject being Boys Are The Hope
of The World"
The program for the coming week
is in the hands of E. H. Black, and
will deal with both the natiopal
observances. November 7th to 18th
are the actual dates of the father
and son week.
The board of directors of Rotary
held a short session Immediately
after the regular meeting, to make
plans for a Father and Son feast.
In discussing the phases of help
ing the boys and all children Mr.,
Madden gave out the information
that children in the Winslow
schools were being given milk by
the school nurses i'll an attempt
to boost the health average, and
Rotary members pledged them
selves to give at least $1,000 per
month toward this milk fund.
Plans have been completed for
the inter-city Rotary meeting in
which Holbrook and Winslow are
to participate, and which is to take
place. in Winslow. The meeting is
to take place Friday night, Noyem-
Der 18th, and is to open with a
dinner at the Harvey House. Nota
BILE speakers will address the Ro-
tarians, their wives and their
friends.
Following the dinner, the party
will go to Arcadia Hall, which will
be appropriately decorated and fur
nished, and where a reception and
dance will be held.

Moreover, thcre is a "last straw" just

That the straw has been added in
