alleged Slayer Of
Sheep Mar, Captured

Bringing with him two prisoners
believed to be the~slayers OF Thomas
Largo, SO, Navajo sheep man, sher-
if Mariana Montoya of Sandoval
county, N. NJ, returned to Bernalillo
late Sunday. The men are Belermino
Valdez and Jose Valesquez, also sheep
men.
Largo's unshod horse was still
grazing near his body Friday even
ing when the sheriff and two depu-
ties reached the scene of the killing,
which is believed to have occurred on
Thursday. The officers followed the
trail of two shod horses in the snow
leading away from the spot and after
following it for 25 miles came upon
Valdez and Valesquez in their camp,
about 100 miles northwest of Berna-
lilo near the southern line of Rio
Arriba county.
Both prisoners have refused to
talk Of the affair. No motive for the
killing is known, as the suspects are
said to have been on the best of terms
with the slain man. The two men will
be given preliminary hearing at
Bernalillo as soon as the district at
torney's office can summon the neces-
sary witnesses.

Glad TidiRgs
Baptist Church


The Glad Tidings folk were
slgreeably surprised BY q call Sunday
evening from Rev. w. f.. Starring,
Baptist state executive secretary for
Arizona. He arrived from Winslow,
where he spoke in the morning, In
time to speak here in the evening in
the chapel car.
It looked like a cold reception for
him when he stepped off the train
here in the biggest snow storm Of
the season, and the first snow OF
the season for him, but a warmer
reception awaited him on the car.
The audience was small because of
the storm, but we greatly appreciat-
ed the splendid sermon and the OPP
portunity for fellowship which he
brought.
The church took part Sunday at
tsrnoon in distributing the Gideon
bibles in the Pine hotel and in the
Hicks rooming house. A short SER
vice was conducted at each place,
consisting of bible reading, song and
prayer. In the Pine hotel 81 bibles
were placed and in the Hicks room
ing house 10.
The moving of the chapel car is
stopped by the storm but will pro-
coed as soon as the weather permits.
There will be no change Of services.
The Sunday services will be held on
the car as usual wherever the car
happens to be when Sunday comes.

Flagstaff Should Tell
The World
By Wayne Shields, City Editor Coconino Sun


and the road which winds around
them. The only other appeal then
that Yellowstone Park can offer is
its geysers and hot springs and the
all important thing, accessibility.
Which brings us back to the ques-
ton of whether or not Flagstaff has
made any real effort to bring Its
scenic points to her doors. TO see the
Yellowstone one needs only to go to
the outskirts of the park by train and
is picked up by comfortable motor
buses and escorted through the park
on four day trip. Beautiful and
comfortable hotels provide an atmos4-
| phere of refinement and congeniality
and when one leaves the park it is
with the feeling of having seen ma
ture's greatest work. Flagstaff must
provide these same comforts If it is
to draw the tourist here
We will take another widely adver-
tised point, that Of the Columbia Riv-
er highway People journey across
the continent to take this wonderful
drive and to witness wonderful vistas
and scenes. Yet it is mediocre when
placed in comparison with the San
Francisco Peaks boulevard from which
one is able to see into five states in
Guiding Mexico.
Now to the point: Make these facts
known and give the traveller proper
accommodations and he will come here
in countless numbers he can't help it..
Everyone follows the line of least re
sistance and unless things are made
easy and pleasant other points will
claim him.
We might go OH with illustrations
innumerable, but the writer would
like to close this article by showing
how well Flagstaff ard Coconino
county isn't advertised where adver-
tising will do the most good.
In making a decision to locate IN
the West he struck about for good
location where the climtae was equit-
able and pleasant and where the out
look for the future was good. The state
of California seemed the only posi-
bility until by chance position opened
in Flagstaff. When voicing his de-
sire to locate in this state he was set
upon by a multitude of friends who
beseeched him not to consider such ar
"ungodly country" With an open
mind the writer went to public IL
brary and after diligent searching
found half hours reading on Flag
staff and it's county, mostly written by
Zane Grey. A few magazines gave up
information after the Readers Guide
had been consulted and the final opin-
ion deduced after all the matter had
been. digested was that Flagstaff was
not Quite as bad as painted. So east
came west and was astounded by the
ignorance under which most people
labored in regard to Flagstaff ana
northern Arizona. This ignorance
must be counteracted before the de-
sired result can be accomplished; that
of bringing to Flagstaff and Coconino
county the flow of tourist and vaca-
tionists who will pass the word back
home that this section offers a great
er diversity of scenery and interest
points. than can possibly be found; in
any other section of the United States
and possibly the world.
