New Law Made For
Bright Angel Sale

Senator Walter Runke introduced a
bill in the senate last week providing
an easier method Of disposing Of the
Bright Angel trail than provided by
the old law. The bill which passed
the senate without opposition and
which will undoubtedly pass the house
in a like manner, reads:
Section l. That any county own
ing or controlling toll road or a toll
trail, in or partly within a national
park set aside by the United States of
America, in said county, is hereby au-
thorized and empowered acting
through its board of supervisors to
sell and dispose of all right, title and
interest of said county in and to such
toll road or toll trail, to the United
States of America upon such terms
and conditions and such other consid-
erations as may be agreed upon by the
board of supervisors and the secretary
of the interior of the United States
Of America.
"Section 2. All acts and parts of
acts in conflict with the provisions of
this act are hereby repealed"

offered to the hunter bringing in the
largest buck of the season. Mr.. East
on's buck weighed 1919 pounds and was
shot on the Williams Grand Canyon
road about 35 miles north of Williams.
Out of the 606 hunters which re-
gistered only Is brought in ther bucks
to be weighed in. According to Mr..
Switzer, there were at least five
times that many bucks brought into
Flagstaff, but it is the general rule
that when large buck is weighed
in at the opening of the season reg
istrations are slow from then on.
Bucks weighing over ITO pounds
were brought in as follows: C. G..
Dunnam, 189; e. NJ Badger, 174; DR..
E. S. Flet, 1856; R. w. McGrew, IT'S;
Dave Strahon, 172; The smallest deer
to be brought in and registered was
killed by Donald |. Herring, it
weighing only 8312 pounds. The first
deer of the season was killed and
weighted in by Edward Oldham, Jr.
The number of hunters who re-
gistered this year was record
breaker, said Mr.. Switzer, who plans
to have another like contest next
season.

HOpf Indians Make A Few Complaints
Against Whites To u. of A. President

Alleging that the United States
agents on the Hopi Indians reserva-
tion in the northeastern part of the
state will not let the inhabitants make
known their grievances and that the
interests of the Indians are being
relegated to a back shelf in favor of
those of the white men, three Indians
from the reservation visited President
Byron Cummings at the University of
Arizona, Sunday and besought his aid
in helping them secure their rights. ;"
According to Dr. Cummings, the
chief of the grievances listed were
four in number; first, that stock be-
longing to white men is allowed to
overrun the reservation ranges so that
Hopi sheep and burros do not have
enough forage for winter.
Second, that the cattle are allowed
to run in Hopi orchards and corn
fields, which the Indians are not able
to fence because they can not procure
work and earn money to buy fence
wire, the government not having pro-
The Coconino sun., 1927-11-04

vided any.
Third, that the agents are prevent
ing them from holding their religious
ceremonies, which they believe can be
demonstrated as harmless and unof-
fensive in all respects.
Fourth, that the agents have prom
ised to hold councils with the Indians
at which their difficulties were to be
discussed but that the agents have
continually refused to conduct the
proposed councils.
The men who visited DR.. Cummings
We're Edwin Kawankumpte, from
Bakoshieboko; Frank Siamptwa, chief
of Moencopi, and Monroe Fredericks
of Oraibi. The latter is an alumnus
of the Phoenix Indian school.
Kawankumpte also asserted that a
trading post which he maintained on
his mail route between Tuba City and
Kayenta is being taken away from
him by the agents because he is get
ting trade which would otherwise go
to posts owned by white men.

CONFESSED SLAYER OF
JAYCOX BABY MAY NOT
BE BROUGHT TO TRIAL

Just what action the county attor-
ney's office will take on the matter of
Raymond Sandoval, 13-year-old Mexi-
can youth, self-confessed slayer Of
Milo Jaycox, two and one-half year
old Grand Canyon baby has not yet
been decided.
1t is said in order for the county
attorneys office to make a case
against the Sandoval youth it will be
necessary to find someone who can
testify that they saw the boy and
child together the morning the latter
disappeared and not seen again until
its dismembered and decomposed body
was found two months later in the
woods over two miles from its Grand
Canyon home. No one to date has
been found to give testimony to that
effect.
According to Judge ]. E. Jones of
superior court, the case presents many
interesting legal questions, one Of the
most important being whether or not
a judge could admit Raymond's con-
fession as testimony in the case. The
boy made several like confessions to
questioners at the time of the disap-
pearance of the child but after taking
officers to a location where he said
he had put the body and failing to
find it he repudiated all of these con-
fessions by saying he knew nothing
whatever about the baby.
The boy in his confession said that
he had killed the baby by hitting it
over the head with a stick after he
had committed a crime on it. He said
that he then carried the body for some
distance into the woods and left it be-
hind fallen log and covered it with
a few sticks and leaves. This con-
fession was made to Superintendent
Merrill of the state industrial school.

PLANS FOR MORTON HALL
ADDITION ARE COMPLETE

The plans for the $4,000 addition
to Morton hall of the Flagstaf Teach
ers college have been completed and
turned over to contractors for the
submitting of bids.
The new addition which will be in
the form of a wing, will consist of
20 rooms, and necessary bath rooms
and Railways. Construction will be
of red sandstone, the same as Morton
hall. The building will be modern and
fireproof in every respect.
The new peaked roof on Morton
hall is very nearly finished and with
the addition of the wing, the building
will be the most attractive of its kind
on the campus.

City Schools Will
Observe Education
Week November 7-I3

The week of November 7-13 has
heeh set aside at National Education
Week, through the cooperation of the
National Bureau Of Education and the
American Legion, both of whom have
made helpful suggestions for the
proper observance Of this week. These
agencies have requested that all
schools arrange programs suitable for
the occasion.
The purpose Of this week is to give
the public an opportunity to visit the
schools in order that they may ac-
quaint themselves with the work and
needs Of the public education institu-
tions.
In observance of the occasion, the
high school, Emerson, Brannen and
Dunbar schools are preparing pro-
grams for next week to which the
public is cordially, invited The vari-
Gus city schools will be open to visi-
tors during the entire week and every
interested parent and patron of the
school should plan to visit the school.
Since the American Legion is not
planning for an Armistice day pro-
gram, all the city schools will have
suitable programs for that day. The
public is cordially invited to attend
these programs at the various schools
at 10 a. m. Friday. School is to be
dismissed in the afternoon in order
that pupils and teachers may have an
opportunity of attending the football
game between Williams and the local
high school, the game to start at 2:30
at the CITY park gridIron.

The Lure of Gold
Never Falters In
Prospector's Breast
By KATHRYN HAUGHTELIN
In the Yuma Sun

Al Brandt, prospector, was dis
charged from the county hospital yes
terday and, limping his way down
town to the stores, began to make
preparations to go back to his beloved
hills to begin again the search for
gold that has lured him for over fifty
years along the mountain trails Of
this desert land.
Brandt is 83 years old. His legs
are growing weary of tramping the
rocky mountain sides; his eyes are dim
and his feet are crippled so that he
walks with a cane; his back is bent
from STOPPING over, seeking for the
fortune that he has never found. But
hope is as keen today as when he trod
the hill trails in the days of his youth.
Tomorrow he will take the trail
again, with his four burros and his
dog, as picturesque figure as any
ever portrayed upon the silver screen
in western reel. He is a familiar
figure to many residents for he makes
occasional trips into the city, paying
for a grubstake with tiny flakes of
gold or asking charity from the
county.
He has been in the Yuma general
hospital for the past several weeks,
charity patient, on account of an ac-
cident which happened to him up in
the hills recently He hobbled into
Yuma on feet blistered and severely
burned, fearsome sight, telling his
tale.
He claimed that Indians had set
fire to his camp in the night, and be-
fore he awakened the blaze had crept
up so close as to burn his feet and
legs. All his bedding, clothing and
supplies were destroyed. He had his
burros and old shaky cart left and he
drove into Yuma, Ill from the burns
and exposure. He was taken in at the
hospital and treated until he was able
to walk again.
Yesterday at the city hall he was
given clothing and bedding by Mrs.
Dorothy Ellison, and some money by
the county to buy grub. He is eager
to get back to the hill trails. He is
going up back of Castle Dome. He
has heard of some rock there that will
bear investigation. Happiness to him
is just enough food to keep him alive
as he prospects. His eyes are still
bright with hope for he still believes
he will strike it rich some day.

~ O praying fathers have preying sons?
Yes, if you believe in proverbs Most

A tics. Like 90 per cent of the pro-
verbal wisdom. the folklore jibe at minister's
sons and deacons' daughters breaks down COM
pletely under the penetrating rays OF recorded
facts. AS an introduction to these facts let me
explain that when speaking Of the offspring of
the church am thinking not merely of clergy
men. There are praying fathers among farm
ers carpenters. bankers, merchants manufac-
turers and other laymen, whose lives are deep
ly influenced by prayer and religion The min
listers family gives us a convenient for
discussion because here we have the spiritual
element most fully expressed. One, however.
should never forget that real religion will pulse
strongly throughout the pastorate of the
church in the parsonage itself
Let the facts array themselves for appraisal.
We approach the subject In two steps: First
eminence In general; and second eminence in
business. De Candoe, the scientist. was among
the early explorers in this field. More than
25 wears ago he examined the lists of emf
nent men and scrutinized their parentage. He
discovered a marked predominance Of minis
ters' sons in the worlds Hall of Fame, and
overwhelming percentage representing
those brought up in the church. In comment
ing upon this tendency, a religious journal
recently published the following significant
mary:
For more than 200 years clergymen's sons

All reports from Paris about the
war debt to the United States are to
the effect that Premier Poincare will
not press for ratification of the settle
ment made with the now defunct
American Debt Funding Commission
until the new session of the French
Parliament next Autumn or Winter.
The connection between this report
ed policy and the convention of the
Amerfcn Legion in Paris next Septeni-
ber-Ocober is the cause of some specu-
lation. What effect On public opinion
in the United States will be produced
by the pilgrimage of upward of 10000
eX-service men to France? VIII they
return more sympathetic toward the
French viewpoint, their war memories
having been freshened by visits to
battlefields and particularly to Ameri-
can war cemeteries?
These 10000 or more Iegionnaires
will represent every nook and corner
of the United States. They will carry
back to their homes some impressions,
either confirming those they now have
or modifying them. They will be in a
position to influence public opinion
with regard to the French war debt,
since the views Of veterans of any war
always have been influential in the
United States. Is the French govern
ment waiting this convention and the
subsequent effect before taking a final
decision upon the debt?
Reception to Tourists.
Last Summer there was considerable
criticism of the attitude of some of
the French people toward American
tourists. The friction reached a
point where President Coolidge inter-
vened to the extent OF cautioning
Americans against conduct abroad
which Is calculated to irritate Euro
peans. The tourist season closed with
a degree of resentment on both sides.

Economically speaking. New York
has grown closer to San Francisco
since the World War and farther from
Chicago. The Atlantic and Pacific sea-
boa rds are squeezing the interior of
the country, simply because ocean car.
go rates have not increased like rail
freight rates.
sketched by an analysis of the Great
Lakes-to- the-sea proposals which was
issued this week by the Department Of
Commerce along with other related
studies.
The analysis makes the significant
conclusion that much of the industrial
distortion, the agricultural depression
and the increasing dislocation of pop
ulation which are marking the growth
of the United States would be relieved
by deep-water outlet from the Great
Lakes to the sea and completion of
an adequate barge channel in the Mis-.
sissippi and its tributaries.
Farm Problem Solution Seen.
The subject holds personal financial
interest for the people of every part of
the country, because conditions in the
Middle West directly react upon every
other section.
Reduction of freight rates on agricul-
tural products to pre.war levels would
solve the farm problem in it's i'm
mediate aspect, put millions in the
pockets of the producers and at the
same time benefit consumers to the
tune of millions.
Since the railroads, now in a high
state of efficiency and doing their job
remarkably well, cannot as whole
suffer q reduction on rates on farm
products without disaster, and to
lower rates on crops and raise them
on other tonnage would result merely
in transferring the smudge from the
Dot to the kettle, the successful an.
swer obviously does not exist in that
direction.
Midwestern farmers now pay 6 tc
Is cents per bushel more freight on
grain shipped to seaboard than they
did before the war. The export price
influences the price of the entire crop
II only one cent could have been
added to the value Of each bushel OF
the five major grain crops--wheat,
corn, oats, barley and rye-grown In
the United States in 1925, the last
year for which complete statistics are
available, the farmers would have
been $50, 395, 900 better off.
$4,000, 900 Benefit Seen.
IF the freight on grains. exported
that year had been only cents per
bushel cheaper, leaving rates at pres
ent levels on shipments for domestic
! consumption, the growers would have
benefited by $13.000,0o0.
One Of the serious phases of the
situation which has been pointed out
by the Department Of Commerce is
| the dislocation Of industry, and conse
quently Of population, which is re-
| sulting from changed conditions in
transportation charges brought about
by necessary increases in rail
freights, while ocean cargo rates re
main almost at pre-war figures. It Is
relatively cheaper to get raw mate
rails for Industrial production at sea
board or near it than in the interior.

Death sentences Of more than 1000

fights, usually accompanied with MUIR

were embezZlers whose sentences,
aside from those shot, averaged two
years and their populations $3.50.
About one-fourth of the cases were
appealed and the sentence Of the
lower court usually confirmed. About
500 were charged with political Of

allied both ways-on shipments out
and shipments in.
There is nothing antagonistic to the
rail carriers in program Of water
ways development. One means of
transportation would complement the
other. Railroad traffic has nearly
trebled in the last % years. With a
normal growth of population. pro-
vision must be made to handle double
the present tonnage in another 25
years.
Would be Reliable Carriers.
Waterways can be deepened and
made reliable carriers of traffic at less
expense than railroads can be ex-
tended to meet such needs, and 1t
must be noted that terminal facilities
in congested centers are an increaS-
ing perplexity in railroad expense.
While rail freights on grain from
the Middle West to world markets have
increased 6 to Is cents per bushel
since the war, the rates Of the Argen-
tine farmer and other competitors
have increased only slightly. On the
industrial side it now costs $29.46 to
move a ton of staple goods from Chi
cago to San Francisco, as compared to
$3.50 before the war, while by the
Panama Canal it costs only $3.50 to
move this ton from New York to San
Francisco, as compared to $1,000 be-
fore the war.
Engineers have reported that it
would cost $148, 900, 900 for a deep
waterway from the lakes to the sea
by the cheapest route. 1t also Is esti-
mated that the Mississippi River
could be completed for navigation pur-
poses at a cost less than 500, 000.0 900.
The two waterway systems would
lower freight rates in the greater part
of the area of the United States and
directly benefit the majority of its
population and indirectly benefit all
