ZANE GREY HERE TO HUNT
AND FILM LATEST STORY
SAYS WE'VE SURE GROWN

south of Promontory Butte, and about
a mile from the rim.
Lee Doyle of Flagstaff, Mr.. Grey's
guide in charge of transportation,
sent his men with camp outfits and
strings of pack and saddle horses the
first of the week. Lee is taking the
party to the rim in cars. Permanent
headquarters will be maintained there
for three weeks hunting. Babe
Taught and his sons of Payson, fam
Gus bear hunters, will meet Mr.. Grey
there with his hunting dogs, which
they keep at Grey's lodge in the basin
about Id miles distant. This district
abounds in wild life and plenty of
bears, deer, mountain lions and lesser
game.
In the party with Mr.. Grey are his
brother, Romer G. Grey; his secretary,
Miss Mildred Smith, and her mother,
Mrs. M. Smith; Captain l.. d. Mitch
ell and wife, Mr.. and Mrs. Tommy
Deforrest, Ken Robertson, Ed Bowen
and George Takahashi.
Local men in Mr.. Grey's employ un-
der Lee Doyle are Oscar Lundahl, G.
T. Hill, Frank Conrard and Earl
Thomas.
Mr.. Grey says that the story Of
"Under the Tonto Rim" is wholly i'm
aginary. He has his stories repro
duced in their settings. A COM
pany of 60 people will be taken
to the location. Richard Arlen will
play the male lead. Mary Brian will
be heroine. The cast will arrive In
Flagstaff from Hollywood between
the 18th and goth, and be taken by
Lee Doyle to the scene of the pic
ture by motor via Payson.
Zane Grey was the first to realize
the value of northern Arizona seen
cry for motion pictures. His first
story, "To the Last Man." won IN
slant approval. His masterpiece
"The Vanishing American" repro
duced in colors the brilliant desert at

the last Zane Grey picture to be filmed
here. 1t was made last May at the

Pleads Guilty Before
RichlUine To KILLING
Antelope; Fined 500

E. Newberry, tried before Justice
of Peace Harry Richwine Saturday on
charge of killing an antelope and
having it's head in his possession.
pleaded guilty and was given the min
imum penalty, S100 fine.
Newberry appeared in justice court
with the intention of pleading his
case, but upon advice from Justice
Richwine changed his plea to guilty.
Newberry intended to base his case
upon the fact that he traded deer's
head with man named Alvy Carver
for that of the antelope. Carver
claimed that he had picked up the
head after it had lain in the woods for
nearly two weeks. Experts brought
into court, however, were in position
to testify that if the antelope's head
had been on the ground that long
the flesh when it was confiscated by
game wardens would have been de-
cayed.
Carver, who was also to have been
tried for completely in the case, dis
appeared soon after the preliminary
hearing was held the first of this
month, and bench warrant has been
issued for his arrest.

Engineer Larue Declares Los
Angeles River Scheme Can Not
Be Made An Economical Success

"There is no question in my mind
but the Glen Canyon dam site is the
logical site for the first dam on the
Colorado river" declared E. G. Larue,
former government engineer in the
u. S. geological survey who was in the
city Tuesday arranging to escort the
Pathe-DeMille movie party on its
great trip down through the Grand
Canyon from Green river by boat to
Needles.
Engineer Harue is undoubtedly the
best engineering authority on the de-
velopment of the Colorado river He
has not only made many early surveys
of the river but was one of the party
who made the last trip through the
Canyon by boat from end to end, with
Colonel Birdseye's party.
II have no axe to grind, am not a
politician and can only stake my repu-
tation as an engineer against that of
politicians who have nothing to lose
and all to gain As financial propo-
sition two dams could be built One
at Glen Canyon which would control
the river and furnish power for the
second dam at Bridge Canyon. The
COST OF the Two ddiHS Would De VEL
little more than the cost of the Boulder
Canyon dam and furnish water to Los
Angeles at less cost and eventually
make a saving of millions. The tying
UP of an untold amount of horsepower
at Boulder Canyon to pump water
into Los Angeles would undoubtedly
be an unending cost to that city and
losing proposition. It may look like
big thing to southern California now
and the folks over there may swallow
the bait, hook, line and sinker, but
they will eventually awaken to the
fact that pumping billions Of gallons
of water uphill may be done political
| ly at profit, but it can't be done as
d financial success. Real engineering
don't seem to mix with politics, so

Kaib0b Deer Camps
Filled; Make Your
Reservation Ahead

If you're going to the Kaibab this
year to bring back the prize buck, you
want to make your camp reservations
ahead. This is the advice that passed
from mouth to mouth this week fol
lowing a report that the three hunt
ing camps in the Kaibab with a total
capacity of only rs hunters a day are
nearly filled and hunters who trust to
luck for place may be forced to
wait for days or a week before get
ting into the camps. No hunting will
be allowed except from the regular
established camps and all hunters
must be accompanied by guide.
Many hunters are unacquainted
with the above condition which was
brought about primarily by the wide
spread publicity which was given to
the hunting in the Kaibab this year
by all the state papers. Hunters will
flock to the forest, starting tomorrow,
from Utah, Nevada, California and
Arizona. The almost absolute sure
ness of being able to bring home a
deer has made the Kaibab hunting
more than popular and many hunters
who do not care to hunt strenuously
Tor Cnelf deer ana Inen maybe not geI
it take the easier way and go to the
forest north of the Colorado river.
All of the local hunters who went
to the Kaibab last year were sent ap-
plication blanks over month ago by
the forest supervisor, names having
been secured from the camp registers.
Many were fortunate in getting early
at the camps, while 9TH
ers will be forced to do their hunting
the latter part of the month.

STORY OF DEDICATION OF
RAINBOW NATURAL BRIDGE
AS A NATIONAL MONUMENT

Frank Pinkley, superintendent of
southwest national monuments, spent
Tuesday in Flagstaff on his return
from Rainbow Natural bridge where
he went last week with party head
ed by Raymond Armsby, which Off
cially dedicated the bridge. Mr.. Pink
ley attended to officially receive in
behalf of the park service the plaque
placed there and to thank Mr.. Armsby
for his patriotism in giving his time
the discovery of Rainbow bridge.
The plaque of cast bronze which
was placed in dedication is a large
one, an inch thick and 80 by 40
inches. 1t depicts the Piute Indian,
Naxhay Begay, on his horse gazing
in wonder at the bridge The accom-
panying inscription reads ITO COM
memorate the Indian Naxhay Begay
who led the first white man to the
bridge"
Naxhay Begay was Piute Indian,
when by all logic the bridge should
have been discovered by Navajo. He
is shown dressed in Navajo clothing
studded with characteristic silver or
naments and wearing a handsome
Navajo silver necklace. The plaque
was placed in the stone wall beside
the trail about 100 yards east of the
north abutment by Billy Kier, Tuba
City stonemason, who cut a recess
nine feet above the ground, bedded
and cemented the plaque in it.
Fitting ceremonies accompanied its
unveiling. 1t was regretted that the
artist who executed it could not be
present for it is not customary to un-
veil works of art except in the pres
ence of the artist. 10 Mora, who is

GRIFF MAY NOT REOPEN
CAFE; CARSON TO RESUME
WHEN INSURANCE SETTLED

1t is expected that insurance ad-
justments will soon be completed IN
the damages resulting from the fire
at Griff's cafe last Thursday night.
Richard Griffith, the owner, has not
decided whether he will reopen the
place. If he does it will take several
weeks to make the necessary repairs
to the buildings front, interior and
fixtures. His insurance was $4,000.
A. w. Carson is impatiently await
ing adjustment of the loss in his
photograph gallery. His insurance is
only $500, which is less than half the
value Of the contents, which include
many valuable negatives, great deal
of high-class finished scenic work,
enlargements, ETC., as we'll as consid-
cradle portraiture. While the fire did
not get into his place, the heat and
smoke through the floor and the partl-
ton between his place and Grltf's Gre
ated havoc. The greasy smoke seems
to be fastened in by the heat. In the
case of framed and glass covered
stuff, the only damage is to the
frames, but any prints or negatives
all or partly exp0seu wefe ruined.
There still isea foot of water in the
basement, and much of Carson's
equipment which he kept there is
floating around in it. Miss Laura Ar
thur, his assistant, is finishing orders
taken since the fire at Frank Sufea's
gallery, through Sufea's courtesy, but
orders placed and unfinished before
the fire cannot be attended to until
Carson reopens, which he will do as
soon as possible, putting in lot OF
extra help to thoroughly clean up the
place, and re-decorating.
Even in Joe Iissaws Electric Shop,
which got lot of smoke, there was
considerable damage. 1t is covered
by insurance.
The building in which the two
places are located, owned by Babbitt
Brothers Trading company, is covered
by insurance.
Griff went to the lakes south of
here the day of the fire, Carson ac
companying him and taking one of
his most valuable cameras along. 1t
was the first time Carson had been
out of town for some time. Next day
at Spearman's resort at Mormon Lake
they were told of the fire, and Carson
had an idea until they got back TO
town that he was completely wiped
out.

Zane Grey, famous author, who
won much of his fame in making Arl-
zona famous all over the world, both
through his books and the super-films
made from them, arrived in Flagstaff
Wednesday evening with a large par
ty, which included several guests and
his personal servants.
1t was Mr.. Grey who really discov-
cred the southwest, and particularly
Acknowledgement the romance OF
this great country, saw and under
stood and made millions of others un-
derstand the picturesque and romantic
side of its early history; made its plo-
neers, both the good ones and the bad
ones, and its redskins, its mountains
and verdant valleys, its forests and
beautiful deserts, live in the magma
tion of his readers.
They were lured and are still, be-
cause with the wizardry of his descrlp-
tions was woven his great love for
this country; a love that was born
the day he arrived here, from the
east, a mere boy then, and in the COM
pany of Buffalo Jones travelled to and
fro across our deserts; and later, when
he came again and again, and with
Al Doyle as guide and friend, explored
forests and gorges, mountain ranges
and deserts, always as far as possible
from beaten tracks.
Mr.. Grey came this time from his
home in Catalina Island, and for his
annual hunt for bear and other big
game in the Tonto Basin, south of
Flagstaff, which he made famous
in some of his novels, among them
"To the Last Man"
But hunting is not his only objec-
tive, for in very short time Lasky
company will be here making super
production in the Tonto Basin country
of a recent serial by Mr.. Grey in the
Ladies Home Journal. The picture
may be named "Under the Tonic
Rim" A Lasky director will be here
in few days to join Mr.. Grey in the
Tonto country and at that time they
will select locations.

Hugh Anderson was in town the

been a lot Of rain there in the past
few weeks. insuring plenty of water
for stock for some time. Paria creek
was Ia feet deep, running more water
than in years. Hugh saw dozen big
bucks in one lot in the Kaibab forest
the other day. He says there was
tremendous increase in the number
of Kaibab deer last year, nearly every
doe having two fawns. The increase
this year was much less, he says, and
asserts there are enough deer up there
to make almost unnoticeable any in
roads the hunters may make on them
during the open season.
