Prosperous Year
For StOckmen

Widespread precipitation in the
form Of rain OF snow prevailed DUR
ing the middle of the week, contribut-
ing greatly to the welfore of stock
ranges. Foothills were fairly well
snow covered, snow reaching even to
the Mexican border, but rapid melt
ing ensued and at present ranges are
entirely open. Ranges continue to i'm.
prove and livestock are generally bet
ter except for slight shrinkage due to
low temperatures. Two and half
inches snow fell at N0gales but dis
appeared rapidly thus favoring range
and water conditions; livestock are re-
ported as good. Mountains surround
ing Douglas are snow covered and
some shrinkage resulted from the cool
weather in that section. Ranges III
the Sulphur Springs Valley have been
benefited BY the rain and snow. Live
stock in the Pinedale and Holbrook
sections are improving notwithstand-
ing the temperatures have been low
for the season. The heaviest precipi-
tation, j .83 inches, occurred at White
river. Spring ANIMALS in that section
have been greatly benefited and pas
lures are much improved. Range and
stock conditions in western New Mex
leo are steadily improving although
night temperatures for the week have
been low.
Apricots, pears and plums are
blooming in the Salt River valley and
citrus buds are swelling. Some frost
IN the lower valleys Friday and Sat-

resulted. Lettuce shipments from

continue Irl the latter section ship
ments have been stimulated by better
prices and a continued demand is in
dicated. Preparation of cotton land
continues steadily. Melons are. stil)
under cover in the Salt River valley.

NUMBER OF TOURISTS
THROUGH HERE ON AN
INCREASE FACTS SHOW

Tourist travel through Flagstaff
is gathering momentum, is the gen
.eral verdict of garage, restaurant and
camp men, when interviewed yester-
day by a reporter from The Sun.
while / don't look forward to any
great influx of tourists until the mid
die of May" said one camp manager.
yet every day we see just few more
cars on the road This means that
people are awakening to the call of
spring and the open road and also
that many are Fastening home from
winter quarters on the coast to take
care of their spring duties in the
east"
One humorous fact brought out by
one of the local garage men was that
loaded down "flivvers" are bound
eastward, while cars of more expen-
sive- make are going to the coast. In
his words, they go to California with
Chryslers and Bucks and come home
in Fords."
The B. and NJ camp reported 10
cars stopped there for the night
wednesday. This is the largest
number for any one night since early
In DGCGAllDSI.
Most of the tourists are travelling
on small margin of ready cash, is
the general opinion of those inter-
viewed They are not the true
vacationist type, but rather those
who have a definite objective in view
and just about SO much money to get
there with. One garage owner tells
of three tourists in one day calling on
him and asking to exchange certain
articles for tires and necessary car
parts. Another incident noted was q
man and his family who had only
five dollars with which to finish the
trip to California, having started out
from Kansas with only $50.
The vacation type Of tourist will
not be on the road until May Is or the
first Of June. This is due largly to
most Of them having children in
school, making it impossible or diff
cult to get away before the close Of
the term. Another reason is that
most people do not have vacations
this time Of year This vacation
class OF tourist also falls off much
earlier in the fall than the other type.
Other business in Flagstaff reports
general livening up. According to
most of the merchants, February and
the first 10 days in March have been
the uuietest here for several years.
This has been due partly to the heavy
SHOWS and road conditions, making
If difficult for people on the ranges
and others to get here to trade.

UNFRAMED HOPI SCHOOL
BOY WITH HOUSE PAINT
FINE LANDSCAPE ARTIST

Superintendent c. E. Walker of the
Western Navajo Indian reservation,
of Tuba City, writes as follows about
the artistic ability of one of his young
proteges, a member of the Hopi tribe,
among which there are many of un-
usual artistic ability, as all who are
familiar with their work viii readily
agree:
Dear Mr.. Breen:
"A beautiful drop curtain for the
Western Navajo school auditorium has
just been painted by a Hopi school
boy. The painting was made up from
small photograph of the country "
ing south of the Navajo Mountain
trading post which is in the northern
end of the Western Navajo rcserva-
tion. It shows the broken mesa and
canyon country adjacent to Rainbow
Natural bridge and the Colorado river.
"No more beautiful scenery can be
found anywhere in this section of the
country and the painting has been so
well done that one really feels that he
is looking at the real landscape rather
than canvas. The purple haze and
the atmosphere peculiar to this sec
tion. of the country has been better
pictured in this picture than any re-
Gently seen by the writer, although
painted on plain canvas and with or
dinary house paint. This is due to.
the fact that the work was done by a
native, whose eyes see colors that the
transient artist cannot see or paint.
There is no smearing Of paint or
clashing of colors in the picture, but
there is a soft and pleasing effect sell
dom seen in pictures of Arizona seen
1.-THE talent displayed by this young
man is in a class by itself. Many So
called artists would destroy this tai
ent by attempting to improve it. We
feel that this young man should be
encouraged by experience and practice
rather than by miscellaneous advice.
ANY theater operator or other personl
desiring real artistic work would do
well to engage this young man. He
is very quiet and unassuming Indian
with talent that should be recog-
nized and improved. The Western
Navajo school is exceedingly proud Of
this curtain and we invite our friends
to inspect it.
