BELIEVES PROPOSED PARK
BOUNDARY CHANGE NOT
JUST FULLY UNDERSTOOD

Superintendent Eakin Of the Grand
Canyon national park believes people
generally are not fully advised as to
the proposed changes in the boundary
lines of the park or there would be no
objections to the bill now before con-
gress to readjust the lines.
While The Sun would object to any
extensive areas being added, we be-
lieve the proposed changes would be
advantageous TO all concerned and not
in the least affect existing conditions.
Superintendent Eakin in a letter to
Flagstaff chamber of commerce ex-
plains the situation and the purpose of
the bill now before congress, as fol-
lows:
Thinking your organization may
not have had complete information
when it went on record opposing re-
vision Of boundaries, Grand Canyon
national park, / am taking the liberty
of writing you in this connection.
Attached hereto, you will find map
showing proposed additions and elm
nations. 1t will be noted that If the
bill is passed as introduced in cons
gress there will be net loss of area
south of the Colorado river.
"Our road budget authorizes certain
funds for the construction Of roads in
Grand Canyon national park. If roads
to Desert View and Cape Solitude
could have been located within the
present boundaries Of the park, no
changes would have been advocated
south Of the Colorado river and un-
less these small additions are made,
1t will be impossible to build these
roads. These necessary additions
have been agreed to by the Buggeln
and Babbitt cattle interests who now
Craze this area.
son the south rim less than one
and one-half sections of merchantable
timber is proposed to be added. South
of the Supai road survey, approxi-
mately six sections Of the best graz
I ing land in this section of the country
is proposed to be eliminated from the
park 1t is also proposed to elimin-
ate about ten sections east OF the Colo
RADIO river and north Of the Little
Colorado river, and about eight sec
tions in the Beaver canyon in the SUI
pa- country.
"On the north rim, it is proposed
to add enough territory to permit
roads to be built to Cape Royal and
Point Sublime, to add d representa-
tive area of the wonderful Kaibab
forest which will be preserved for fu-
ture generations in its natural state,

SEEK EXTRADTTION OF
FANCHER;; BAD CHECKS

Under-sheriff D. L. Mckinney left
Tuesday for Silver City, n. M, after
j. E. Fancher Of Pasadena, wanted
here for passing bad checks in April
last year, one for 500 on the Arizona
Central bank and another for $50 on
Charlie Prochnow of the Commercial
hotel.
Deputy Sheriff Harry Greene of
Flagstaff went to Silver City last
week and located Fancher. On Mon
day he wired his chief, Sheriff J. o..
Parsons, that he had Fancher located
but that the latter refused to come
back So Mr.. Harrison got uD extra
dition papers and that same day Un-
der-sheriff ID. l.. Mckinney took them
to Phoenix,and got Governor G. W. +.
Hunts signature.
Fancher is the man who several
years. ago concocted the brilliant idea
of informing several Arizona counties
that lot Of taxable property was not
on the tax rolls. In some way he got
a job from some of them, this county
for one, to search the records and nut
the property on the roll When the
work was completed and MS big COM
mission bill presented it was found
that a lot-perhaps most-of the
property he had put on the tax roll
was already on sthe roll. The result
was a lot Of confusion and the denial
to Fancher Of a large part Of ms
claim, which threatened suit failed To
make the county dlsgorge.

new MEMORIAL WINDOW
IN EPISCOPAL CHURCH TO
Be DEDICATED APRIL II.

Architecturally one Of the most at
tractive buildings in the city, the
Church of Epiphany has recently TAX
en- on a new loveliness with the install
lation of the beautiful memorial
stained glass window on the east. 1t
is the gift of Mr.. and Mrs. Il. X. Poll
lock. q memorial to their respective
mothers, Mrs. Martha Vandora Pol
lock and Mrs. Jane Burrows Morton.
It's formal dedication will take place
the second Sunday in April when
Bishop Walter Mitchell viii come
from Phoenix to conduct the dedica-
tory service.
The window is done in the manner
Of the old cathedral windows Of Eu-
rope. IT was made by the Won Geri-
chen studios in Columbus, Ohio, of
antique imported stained glass. The
multitude of small panes of different
colors are put together with native
lead which from the outside Of the
church CLEANS in design of beauty
in itself When the late afternoon
glow Of sunlight fills the church the
softly blended colorings are at their
best. Several small synbolical de-
signs-the lamp representing faith;
the anchor, hope; the dove, the holy
spirit; and the open bible and the
cross which explain themselves-are
set off by an irregular conventional
background. From the altar the win
dow satisfyingly completes the per
spective formed by the large arched
beams of the ceiling.
Z. c. Mills aad P. ]. Lindemann

BIG HOTEL FOR FLAGSTAFF
NOW SEEMS ASSURED

I. B. Koch, chairman of the local
committee selected TO assist in the
promotion of big tourist-commercial
hotel for Flagstaff, held a meeting
yesterday to go over information
brought back from California by Mr..
Koch as a result of his Investigations.
The committee were very much
pleased with the progress made and it
is expected that hotel architects will
be here within few days to 20 over
the hotel site in order to prepare
plans and specifications. The archi-
tects are expert hotel builders and
have built a number of hotels in Cali
fornia. The propositions of the Hook
enberry system have been accepted
and they will cooperate with the archi-
tects and builders in planning and
building the hotel If present plans
go through, the new hotel viii be con
nected with the Hamilton hotel chain
of California, thus insuring the proper
as we'll as advertising OF
the new hostelry.
As soon as these preliminaries have
been settled, a drive for funds win be
put on. It is believed by the commit
tee that the drive will be in full swing
early in May.

GEORGE HERRINGTON AND
MISS WINONA WOODBURY.
MARRIED ON MARCH Is

His many Flagstaff friends were
pleasantly surprised on Wednesday
when announcements were received of
the marriage on March Is of George
t. Harrington of this city. The
bride was Miss Winona Woodburn of
Lawrence, Kan.
Not all of his friends were sur
prised, however, for a few had been
taken into the secret. But they re-
ligiously kept it, at Mr.. Herrington's
request, as he preferred it not be gem
orally known until the formal an
nouncement.
The marriage was earlier than plan
ned, the intention having been to have
it in the early summer. Mr.. Her
rington last month attended con-
ference in Chicago of managers of
electric light plants recently incor
porated with the one here under east
ern ownership. At that conference
his responsibilities were greatly in
creased with his promotion from
manager of this branch to district
manager, in charge of the Flagstaff,
Winslow and Holbrook electric light
and power plants. Realizing that he
would De more Lnan usually DuSy loI
the nex. several months, he and Miss
Woodbum decided when he stopped
at Lawrence ON his way from Chicago
to marry then. Accordingly, with
two mutual friends as witnesses. and
with no other guests, they were mar
ried at the Episcopal church in that
city.
The bride was. a classmate in col
lege of Miss Blanche Payne, formerly

HUB" WHITE WELL LOVED
PIONEER DIES AT PHOENIX

Henry Burke White, popularity
known throughout northern Arizona
as Hub" passed away at his home
in Phoenix on Sunday at the age of
62 years.
The news of his death was received
with genuine sorrow by many old time
friends here who had known him and
learned to love the whole-souled, gem
ial pioneer whose interest was more
manifested in the troubles of others
rather than his own. His passing
leaves one less of the old time sturdy
characters who were in at the win
ming of the west, to recount the days
of hardships forever passed.
Hub" White was born in North
Carolina in 1864 but had spent his
80's he came west and had made his
home at different times in Texas,
New Mexico and Arizona, passing his
last days amid the friends in Arizona.
He was married 20 years ago at
Hillsboro, N. M, to Miss Margaret
Thomas. He came to Flagstaff with
his estimable wife and took charge of
the Weatherford hotel, which they
made most popular home for their
friends and travelling public for five
years. Seven years ago they left
Flagstaff for Phoenix much to the re-
gret of the people of Flagstaff and
settled on a ranch they had previous
ly purchased.
About a year and a half ago they
stopped over at their old home for
some time after having completed an
extended auto tour over the country.
Later Mr.. White went to Mayo
Brothers hoping to secure relief from
a decline in health, but without avail.
He was able to be about until last
July from which time he was con-
fined to his bed in great suffering.
His death was caused by an abscess
of the lungs.
The funeral services were held at
the home, 1926 West Washington
street, Phoenix, Tuesday afternoon
and the remains laid to rest in the
Greenwood cemetery, under the direc-
tion of the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks.
Flagstaff friends extend to the be-
reaved wife a renewal of their love
and affection, knowing her grief at
the parting with her loved one.

OPTION ON BUFFALO HERD
NOW HELD BY COUNTY
RAISING MONEY NEXT JOB

Coconino county now holds option,
good until December, this year, on ~
buffalo and this years increase IN the
herd, the purchase price, in case the
option is made good, to be $lO,OO0.
The option was based on a price OF
S125 a head for the buffalo now in the
herd. But Uncle Jimmie Owens,
owner, of Fredonia, estimates that
there will be at least 20 calves TINS
year, and this increase goes with the
present herd, according to the option,
at the $4,000.
Uncle Jimmy reserves only one buf-
falo for himself. This is the pinto,
the famous buffalo and cattle cross
bred, the only known animal OF Its
kind. Many other attempts, unsuc-
cessful, were made a few years ago
to cross-breed, the result, it was an
nounced at the time, to be named cat
tleo.
Next comes raising the money to
make the option good. Alfred Skeels
of the county board of supervisors
originated the idea of purchase-to
raise the money all over the United
States from sportsmen's and other as
sociations. The American Bison So
ciety, it is reported, is interested and
will make a substantial contribution.
Just what plan will be followed aft
er the purchase is consummated is not
known. The idea the board of super
visors has is that, while the county is
not the purchaser and the purchase
money is. to be raised entirely by pub
| lie subscription, the county may be
called upon to have custody OF the
herd for the owners. In that case It

JOE D. JACKSON GETS
HIS JOBS AND SALARIES
BACK AND BACK SALARY

Joe d. jackson has his dual job OF
probation and truant officer back
again, according to ruling made
Saturday by Judge Crosby OF Navajo
county. who was called in by Judge
]. E. Jones of the superior court OF
this county to hear the arguments OF
the attorneys.
C. B. Wilson represented Mr.. Jack
son, and County Attorney Frank Har-
rison the county.
Two demurrers had been filed by
Mr.. Harrison to Mr.. Jackson's COM
plant and the judge overruled both,
whereupon Mr.. Harrison said he did
not care to file amended demurrers.
The county board of supervisors at
the January meeting reduced Mr.
.Jackson's salary to a dollar month
as probation officer. He had just
been reappointed by Judge ]. Z. Jones.
The regular salary is sos a month.
Mrs. Charlotte Acker, county superln-
tendent of schools, on January l re-
appointed Mr.. Jackson truant officer,
the salary for which is $85 month.
But the board of supervisors, at the
same time it reduced Mr.. Jackson,s
salary as probation officer to dollar
a month, refused to confirm his APP
pointment as truant officer at any
salary a-tall.
Under Judge Crosby's ruling Mr.
Jackson's salary as probation officer
goes back to the former figure and
his appointment by Mrs. Acker as
truant officer is confirmed. Also for
both jobs, he gets back salary from
January with per cent interest on
deferred payments.
There was practically no expense
for the county in the suit-which was
brought by Mr.. Jackson as an officer
of the county against the board of
supervisors, also officers of the coun-
ty-except about 50, which was the
cost of bringing Judge Crosby here to
sit in the case. Mr.. Jackson stands
his own attorney expense.
