MISSTATEMENT OF THE SILVER
BELT CORRECTED BY CRAMTON

Washington, D. c., Jan. 25
The Daily Silver Belt,
Miami, Arizona.
Gentlemen:
Ny attention has been called to an
editorial in your publication of jan
uary 18, 1926, headed Turned Out. "
In that editorial is this statement:
"a congressman who manufacturers
auto busses used exclusively through
out all the national parks by conces-
sionaires, announces that no more
roads will be built into the Grand
Canyon until the original trail built
by the pioneers is surrendered to the
park agement-and incidentally
to the concessionaires.
It would appear that this paragraph
has reference to me because of my
recent discussion in the house Of the
proposed improvement of the ap-
proach road to the Grand Canyon ma
tional park by the federal govern
ment.
Permit me to say that not only am
| not manufacturer of automobile
busses fused exclusively throughout
all the national parks by concession
aires" but | have not now and never
have had any financial interest of any
kind whatever in the manufacture Of
auto busses or motors or motor
equipment of any kind whatever to
be used in national parks or else
where.
/ trust you will have the fairness
to publish this statement.
Yours very truly,

ARIZONA GRAPE FRUIT
NOW BEING CANNED

Arizona mas advanced another step
lin the ranks of producers Of fancy
food products. Canned grapefruit,
Ievolved only a short time ago, and
manufactured only in one or two To-
Icalities of California, is now being
made in Arizona, from Arizona grape
fruit, for state and national trade.
Production of the canned grapefruit
has just been begun by the Arizona
Preserving company, operating the
canning plant at Chandler, and
which plans to specialize in this prod
uct and also manufacture general
Line of jams and preserves from Arr
zona fruit. That the new Arizona
product has excellent possibilities IS
shown by the fact that an initial or
der already has been received from
the Fred Harvey system for supply
ing Ell Tovar, the famous hotel at the
Grand Canyon. The order was placed
in record time after the new product
was announced to distributors and
buyers through the Arizona Industrial
congress.
That Arizona is receiving national
attention as a source of supply for
winter vegetables, truck crops and
other food products is shown by an
inquiry received by the Industrial
congress from Wallace A. Childs, head
of the Childs' restaurant system, one
of the largest, if not the largest, in
America. Mr.. Childs asked for de-
tailed list Of Arizona food products
together with the time they could be
supplied for national markets, and by
return mail was forwarded complete
schedule of produce and shipping
neriOds.

Ford Company Buys
Plane Landing Field

The purchase of 400 acres of land
at Maynard, Ind, by the Ford Motor
Company was announced Saturday.
The property, which is located on the
Illinois-Indiana state line, approx
mately twenty five miles southeast of
Chicago, will be utilized as the Chica-
go terminal of the Ford Air Transport
service. Since the establishing of the
Detroit Chicago airline on April 18th
1925, Ford planes have been landing
at the government field at haywood,
III. Considerable difficulty was ex-
perienced by Ford pilots in reaching
the landing field due to smoke and fog
settling about Chicago. This will be
avoided by the new location which
removes the necessity of traversing
the metropolitan district.
In announcing the purchase, the
company state that the property
will be utilized only as a landing field.
"The Ford Motor Company intends
no manufacturing activity of any kind
and contemplates building no more
than a hangar for the shelter and
servicing of airplanes" the statement
said.
The hangar Incorporates several
unique features of construction and
many of the most modern facilities fol-
servicing airplanes. The building
which will be 1913 feet long and 10a
feet wide will be so constructed as tc
adapt itself to future expansion II
line with future development of the
air transportation service. To facili
tate the movement of planes in ant
out of the building, sliding doors de
signed to open the entire length Of
the hangar will be installed. This fea
.ture will be made possible by the us'
of cantilever type of roof.
The property is but six miles from
the Chicago assembly plant of tn
company at Hegewisch and is in ex
cellent condition for use as a landin,
