New Harvey Hotel
At WinsloW, Rumor

1t is reported in Flagstaff that
Fred Harvey will soon begin erection
of an auxiliary Harvey hotel at
Winslow, to be located across the
street and directly east of the present
Harvey house and lunehroom. The
present structure is inadequate to the
demands upon it, as many. of the
trainmen have permanent rooms there,
leaving few rooms for other patrons.
The development of the vast Indian
country north, connecting uD with the
overland trips from Santa Fe, New
Mexico, where headquarters have
been established by the Harvey sys-
TEN during the past two years, it
would seem, has made it necessary to
develop more hotel facilities at Gallup,
and, moving west the next point
would naturally be the Santa Fe divi-
sion point at Winslow, to connect up
the northern country, Rainbow Bridge
and Grand Canyon.

fireproof garage and plumbing build
ing for Wilson, Coffin & Lehr began
Monday. the site to be the southwest
corner of Aspen avenue and Agassiz
street.
The new building will tie to the
Odd Fellows building, the east wall
of the latter to be its west wall
It will face rs feet on Aspen and
80 on Agassiz, with quadrangular roof
but with the main front facing north
east; this to allow triangular rooted
over triple filling station on the cor
ner.
Construction will be Al fireproof

be asbestos composition supported by
steel truss The only lumber used
will be III the shelving in the store
room which will contain the "Neces-
sity Shop" merchandise, largely made
up of automobile, plumbing and radio
supplies and sporting goods.
The basement will be half-light, that
is will be underground about five feet.
This will be 50x75 feet, under the
south part or the building.
The main floor will be at two levels,
the same as The Suns new building
the front 40x75 feet at street level
and the back 50x75 feet-over the
basement-above that level.
The street-level portion will be par
titioned for a 52x40 foot store for the
Necessity Shop, separate show room

times have access. There will be a
schedule for day parking and for
night. Visitors to the city may have
their cars called for, for instance at
one of the hotels, and delivered when
ever they wish, serviced.
The owners feel that much more

Rockledge Lodge Now
Under New Ownership

]. K. Shelley, formerly of Missouri,
has purchased Rockledge Lodge on
Mormon Lake from Sidney Sigh and
V. l.. Jones and has opened the resort
to the public with the motto OF "a
clean resort for clean people" Mr.
Shelley explains his policy by saying
that he viii make the resort an in
viting place for families and unes-
corted women and will not operate a
dance hall or so-called soft drink par
lors in connection with the lodge. Il
believe there is big demand for
resort run on this basis" said Mr..
Shelley, "and am sure that idea will
prove sound"
Extensive Improvements are to be
made about the premises, including
construction Of several rock cottages,
two fishing piers, a breakwater and
community hall, Mr.. Shelley said
Mormon Lake is the most ideal
spot | have seen in the southwest"

Local Building Being
RenlOdeLed, Restaurant
Will Be Opened Soon

Flagstaff is to have another restau-
rant as soon as alterations are COM
pleted on the Black estate building at
Railroad avenue and North San Fran
cisco street. The section of the build
ing occupied by A. A. Johnston's
cleaning shop is being completely re-
modelled for the installation of lunch
counter by Joe Gaddis. Plans call for
the lowering of the floor to the street
level, the cutting in of large plate
glass window and a complete working
over of the interior. A "U' shaped
counter, like the one in Hotel Monte
Vista will be installed and the kitchen
equipment is to be placed IN the
same room as the counter. This lat
ter is an innovation in Flagstaff.
Mr.. Gaddis up until last fall oper-
ated the Commercial Cafe, but at that
time sold his business and has been
looking for s.n acceptable location
ever since.
The rest Of the building, occupied
by the pool hall run by jim and
Claude Black, underwent many
changes the past week. Partitions
were cut away in the rear to allow
installation Of d sisnooker" pool table.
A new wash room was built arranged
for the Use Of both pool hall and res
taurant patrons. A new plate glass
front is soon to be placed in the pool
nall.
Mr.. Johnston, who formerly had
his cleaning establishment in the sec
ton of the building being converted
into a lunch-room, has moved ms
equipment into his salesroom.
Walter Stevenson, contractor, says
as soon as damp weather sets IN the
outside Of the pool hall and restau-
rant is to be given coat OF stucco.

Two Local Youths Sent
To State Reformatory

Two local youths were sentenced to
the state reformatory at Wilcox Mon
day by Superior Judge J. E. Jones.
The specific act which led to their
commitment was the entering OF the
home of Joe KeIlam on his ranch at
Harrington Lake last Saturday and
stealing a saddle, harness and q
number of tools. Not being satisfied
with the theft of the articles the
young culprits scattered sack of
flour on the floor Of the house, broke
several windows and in general did
considerable damage.
About a month ago, it is said, the
two boys appropriated two boxes OF
dynamite, fuse and caps from the
A. l.. & t. logging camp.
The boys were taken to Wilcox by
Deputy Sheriff D. L. Mckinney yes
terday morning.

HARRY LOCKE THE
MAP MAKER HERE

Harry Locke, famous for his road
maps of the great southwest, was in
Flagstaff over the weekend with Mrs.
Locke. They were on their way home
from a logging trip east and Harry
couldn't resist the temptation of map
ping the local golf course few times
before vending his way down through
his much beloved state of Arizona.
Locke's maps are standard for the
southwest and if there is anything he
does not know about tourist travel or
roads in this section Of the United
States, it hasn't happened yet.

TO PUT OUT BURNING FENCE

An alarm Of fire was answered by

distribution of wealth

unprecedented distribution Of wealth
and it's high standards Of living. If
these conditions are to be maintained,
that rolicy will have to be continued.
In some few lines we can compete
with all the world. but in general our
agriculture and our industry are COM
pclled to make larger outlay to pro-
vide their establishment, pay a very
much higher rate of wages, and there
fore find their costs Of production are
greater than in foreign countries. Any
material reduction in our general
tariff rates would ultimately result in
a drasti defiation of agricultural and
industrial values, in the rate of wages
and in the standards of living. Under
our present system our foreign com
merce has reached the highest peace
time record and our national income
has steadily increased to the enormous
proportions OF 500, 600, ,000, 900 for the
last calendar year. This represents a
volume of production and trade far in
excess of that which any other coun-
try ever reached. 1t is the zenith of
our prosperity. All of this should be
considered in any apprizal OF the
worth of our long established policy.
While we have placed the enterprise
of the country unreseryedly in private
hands. we have adopted a system of
government regulation and denounced
bv law restraints of trade and unfair
practices in trade, in order that. the
public might have the fun benefits of
all fair competition and the oppor-
tunties of our commerce be equally
free to all. Privilege has no place in

The Federal Government endowed the
agriculture of the Nation with vast
empire at a. merely nominal cost. To
serve the needs Of those regions, it
ranted great land subsidies, sone-
times accompanied with credits for the
construction of their railroads. 1t Is
even now spending large sums for the
building of highways, especially Tor

that we might be something more
