The time at Rotary Tuesday was
divided between the giving of several
reports on different phases of the re-
cent district Rotary conference at
Mesa and a brief address on preven-
ton of war by DR.. Lincoln Writ of
Berkeley, Calf.
President Ed Miller said that though
it was prematurely announced that
Holbrook Rotary club had won the at
tendance cup at Mesa, Flagstaff was
later awarded the cup. The mix-up
occurred through at first crediting
Flagstaff with only Ia members at
tending, when there were Is. The
contest was based on the percentage
of the clubs members in attendance
compared with the distance travelled.
Dir. Mart Fronske was chairman for
the day. He announced that those at
tending the conference were himself
and wife, President Ed Miller, Mr..
and Mrs. Ray Simpson, Tom McCul-
Tough, Henry Albers, Reub Gassman,
DR.. Tex Mackey, Billy Switzer, Mrs. G.

ceded that Mrs. Simpson gave hers in
the most interesting manner.
DR.. Writ gave Rotary credit for do
ing wonderful work under its sixth
object toward bringing about a bet
ter understanding among the nations
of the world. He said that when
friendliness and understanding among
the nations are developed to the point
to which they can and should be de-
velOped, it will mean the end of war.
With the perfection of new and dead
lier instruments of war, we are fast
nearing the point, he said, when the
next great war will mean the prac-

LAW OFFICERS SECURED
BOOTLEG EVIDENCE In
RAID SATURDAY NIGHT

Joining hands in one of the most
fruitful liquor raids this year, officers
from the sheriff's office and the city
police department, conducted raid
on Alejando Beceril and his daughter,
Pretty Mary" last Saturday night
Not only was the raid fruitful from an
evidence standpoint, but when the
officers broke through the door lead
ing into the "dispensary" they were
welcomed by IA customers of the
pretty, but law violating, Mary.
One of the younger of the beverage
consumers attempted to do the hero
act and dashed bottle of evidence on
days in the county's bastile under
$3.50 bonds which he was unable to
raise. No charges we're preferred
against him, however, and he was re-
leased. The other customers were
left free to go their various ways.
An exciting incident in the raid was
when Alejando, himself, attempted, it
is said, to destroy gallon of "moon"
by dumping it down the sink. He
did dump it and was about to turn on
the water to wash all traces away
when a cyclone hit him in the form of
Art Vandevier. Art saved the day
and, it is said, enough liquor in the
goose neck of the drain to show that
Alejando had attempted to destroy
evidence, little act which may get
him several months behind stone walls
and steel bars. This will be in adj
dition to four months and 25 days of
a previous sentence which was sus-
pended during good behavior by
Judge j. E. Jones. This old sentence
followed finding of 10 gallons of
liquor in Beceril's home. Beceril
began Monday serving his unfinished
sentence.
A quart Of liquor was found in a
cache Saturday besides that taken
from the drain pipe.
"Pretty Mary" was released Satur-
day night under $500 cash bond and
will appear before Superior Judge J..
e. Jones this week.

UNCLE SAM GIVES STATE
AUTHORITY MAKE PLANS
GRAND CANYON BRIDGE

but win be the steel arch type. It
will have 18-foot roadway and be
floored with concrete.
Captain Wright believes drawing of
the plans will not take more than 30
days, and advertising for and award
ing bids certainly not as long as that;
which leaves a good margin of safety
before July 1, when, if the contract for
the bridge were not let, the United
States appropriation would revert to
the u. S. treasury.
The distance from rim to rim of the
Grand Canyon at the bridge site is 575
feet and the distance above the water
is 425 feet. Flagstaff will be the sup
ply point for construction.
II is being strongly advocated,
and it would appear very sensi-
BILE, that right now it should be
seen to that the new bridge, in
stead Of being called the Lees
Ferry" bridge, should be named
the Grand Canyon" bridge--this
for the advertising effect the lat
ter name would have.

Bishop Mitchell
Confirms Class
Here on Sunday

Bishop Walter Mitchell will conduct
the service at Epiphany Episcopal
church Flagstaff on Sunday morning
at III o'clock.
This is the annual visit of the bishop
for confirmation, and Rev. E. L. Free
land, the vicar, will present a class of
about 20 to receive that rite. When
the parish was started 15 years ago
group Of nearly this number was
presented, but since that the annual
gain in membership has been smaller.
The interest aroused during the not
able crusade held here in February is
evidenced by largely increased congre-
cations and by the number of new
members to be received on Sunday.
The interesting and historic service
of confirmation will no doubt attract
many who are not habitual church
gocrs.
The Coconino sun., 1927-03-18

Work will soon begin on new road
replacing the bad 16-mile stretch from
Just below Stoneman lake to the edge
Of the rim in Yavapai county, making
travel much easier between the lower
Verde country, Montczuma Castle and
Montezuma Well and Flagstaff and
its lake region.
Tentative agreement covering this
new and badly needed work was made
last week at the meeting at Prescott
between Forest Supervisor E. G.
Miller of Flagstaff, Mr.. Mullen of the
forest office, and the Yavapai county
board of supervisors.
Mr.. Miller said this week that this
improvement will accomplish several
things: Make Stoneman and Nor
mon lakes and Lake Mary and Flag
staff much more accessible from the
lower Verde country, open up cord
wood section south and east of Stone
man lake to consumers in the Clark
dale and jerome section; mako COM
munication between their summer and
winter ranches much more convenient
To ranchmen south of US; greatly
facilitate forest service fire prevent
ion and fighting.
Half of this 16-nlile stretch which
runs nearly due east and west lies in
this county between Double Cabin
park and the county line; the other
half from the county line to the top of
the rim in the vicinity of Rattlesnake
tanks. It is an awful piece of road,
being the merest trail among the
malapis rocks and most of its length
not only exceedingly rocky but so
narrow that cars have great diff
Guilty in passing.
Yavapai county had intended to

THAT BAD l6- MILE ROAD
LINK BEL LOW STONEMANT0
BE BUILT BY YAVAPAI co.
AND THE FOREST SERVICE

wait for the forest service to build
the road. But the latter, not having
funds available to do the work in the
immediate future, the Yayapai super
visors, believing that the sooner the
road is built the better for all con-
cerned, said that they would be good
sports and build their eight miles if
the forest service would get busy
right away and build the other eight.
Yavapai county viii have q survey
made within few weeks of its
section, and Supervior Miller says the
forest service will have a crew on its
half by May It is hoped to get a
good part of the 6-miies--which will
cost a total Of not less than S80,000--
built this year. Likely the grading
and draining will be finished this
year. The worst stretches will be
surfaced, probably with binders.
Both the forest service and the
Yavapai supervisors will save what
they can by following the present
road and thus utilizing what little
work has been done, but much Of the
road will have to be slong a new
survey line.
Now the forest ranger down in the
lower Verde country to get to the
Stoneman lake region either has to
take chance of breaking up his car
on the 16 miles of malpais or come
clear around through Sedona, up
Schnebly hill and almost to Flagstaff
Ia route between rs ard a hundred
miles longer. Similarly, people from
the south coming here and to our
lakes, and Flagstaff people visiting
Montezuma Castle and Montezuma
Well, have to cuss their way over the
trail or take much longer way
around

THEY HELPED FLAGSTAFF
BOYS KNOCK EN- COLD

DR.. Tex Mackey and some of the
other Flagstaff Rotarians got a great
kick out Of a fight program they saw
in Phoenix, in which the only two
knockouts in six events were by Flag
staff boys-Young Monte, who laid
out Young Mack after flooring him
few times, and Ray Suthro, who put
Cactus Dick to sleep with a pop in
his middle. It is reported that the
Flagstaff contingent at the ringside
LET everyone present know their ad-
dress with verve and abandon. That
long-horn Texas yell Tex cut loose a
few times, oLren Cress says was
peacherino and reverberated from the
hills clear beyond Camelback.

City Council Doubles District In Which
Fmeproof Building Only Will Be Allowed

At the meeting of city council Mon
day night, an ordinance was adopted
to extend the fire limits in Flagstaff
to take in considerable more territory
than formerly.
The council has debated the advisi-
bility of extending the fire zone for
some months and adopted the new
ordinance only after due consider
alton. The extension of the fire
limits will give the business district
chance to expand.
Every building that is built in the
zone limit must be of fireproof con-
struction, of either brick, stone or
concrete, and must conform to a
certain style and type of building.
With the restrictions against wooden
buildings it is likely that no more
residences will be constructed within
the given area and thus room will be
left for natural increase inbusiness
blocks.
The area which has been taken into
the new fire limits is bounded as fol-
lows, starting at a northwestern
point: At the corner of Beaver and
Cherry streets, east on Cherry to
AgdSSIA, SOutH Oh AgaSSlZ 10 blrcn,
east on Birch to Verde, thence south
on Verde to Aspen. east again on
Aspen to Elden, then turning south
on Elden across the Santa Fe tracks
to Cottage avenue. The boundary
then runs west on Cottage to Milton
Road, northeast on Milton Road to
Phoenix avenue and back across the
tracks, north on Humphrey to Aspen,
east on Aspen to Beaver and finally
north on Beaver to starting point at
Cherry and Beaver streets.

u. S. Mail Clerks
Appeal to Coolidge

WASHINGTON, (FP).-Final and
direct appeal to President Coolidge TO
withdraw his opposition to their bill
granting higher pay for night work
has been made by the National Fed
Grafton Of Post Office Clerks.
This bill is awaiting action by the
house. The president has blocked it
because he opposes salary increases
in general. Secretary Thos. F. Flah-
crty of the clerks. accompanied by
VIM. Green, president of the A. F.
of L. went to the White House ON
Feb. II and laid the case before Cool
idge. Flaherty said rs per cent of
the mail distributed in the postal SER
vice is handled at night. This night
work brings added hardship to the
clerks and should be compensated ac-
cordingly by higher pay or shorter
hours. Even the Postmaster Gener-
III has recommended the higher pay
rate of 10 per cent proposed in the
pending bill.
Coolidge made no promise to cease
his opposition.

TORY ASSEMBLY
KILLS BILLS FOR
HONEST ELECTION
Plans to Delay Action
On Water Power

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 22.--Reac-
tionaries in the Assembly today had
killed two progressive bills. One pro-
vided for the restoration Of direct
primaries for state and judicial Of
fees. The other would have COM
PEELED candidates to file a list Of
their expenditures and contributors
with the secretary of state ten days
before election.
The Legislature will adjourn March
IS or March 25. Only few major
problems, such as water power, the
proposed tax of two cents a gallon
on gasoline, and the S300,0O0,00
New York City subway bond issue
remain to be disposed of.
Wealthy Don't Get Tax Cut.
With the total cost Of the state
government for the next fiscal year
we'll above the 5000, 100000 mark, re-
dictionaries have abandoned all
thoughts Of reducing the income tax
this year. For the last two years
the income tax has been reduced 25
per cent, saving approximately $10,-
100000 to wealthy tax payers.
The six year old deadlock between
Smith and Republican leaders of the
Legislature over water power may
be broken at a conference today. All
wants power authority" to plan
for state development of hydro-elec-
trio power sites. Republicans favor
private exploitation by the power
trust. Republicans are willing to
create a commission to investigate
water power to kill time and post
pone any action.
More Time On Bonus.
The bill which would give golden
wedding couples pension of 500
a month was killed today. The bin
extending from January 1 to April
the time in which veterans of the
World War may apply for the state
bonus, was sent to Governor Smith
today. 1t was passed unanimously
in both houses of the Legislature.
Punishment for arson, first de-
gree, would be death instead of inn
prisonment for forty years, under a
bill introduced today.

Daily Worker Builders in
New York and Boston
Point Way to Victory
BY J. LOUIS ENGDAHL.

TWO gatherings, historic in the
4 development of The DAILY

daily, have just been held at Boston
and here in New York City.
In the words of M. ]. olgin,
speaking at the Yorkville Casino,

1t is because The DAILY WORK

with might and main to develop as
a powerful propaganda weapon and
organizing instrument of labor, that
great significance was given to
these meetings, pledged to aid in
this task.
The DAILY WORKER has been
in existence for more than three
years. Yet it still faces the task of
enlisting an irresistible army of
Builders, covering the nation, but
especially active in the great indus
trial centers.
New York has been leading in or
ganizing The Builders. One year
ago much smaller banquet hall at
the YorkvilIe Casino afforded COM
Portable accommodations for the

Russian Public Health
Posters on Exhibition

Workers Of New York who may be
interested in Russian public health
posters have an opportunity to see a
collection on display at the East Hall,
Russell Sage Foundation Bldg, $50
East 22d St., Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday.
"The collection is interesting for
the application Of Russian art to the
production of inexpensive posters for
educational purposes" says the Rus
sell Sage Foundation. "Those con-
cerned with education and publicity
for social work will be interested in
the less simple poster common in So
cial work in this country. The health
work will find the simplicity and
highly practical nature Of the in
struction of particular interest"
The collection was brought to the
United States by the Russian Public
