SNOWFLAKE AGAIN FIRST
In N. A. MUSIC CONTEST

Snowflake, winner of the largest
number of points in the northern Ari-
zona high school music contest last
year, again walked off with first place
this year at the second annual contest
held under the auspices of the music
department of the Flagstaff Teachers
college, last Saturday Snowflake
won seven first places, five second and
two third places, while Winslow, next
in number of points, won five first
places and three seconds.
Competition throughout the entire
contest was keen and the three judges
found difficulty in almost every event
judging first, second and third
places.
Nine northern Arizona high schools
were represented and nearly 150 stu
dents participated The general opin-
ion was that the contest this year was
much more successful than the initial
one last year and that great improve
ment was shown. In some cases the
contestants rendered their selections
without music before them, which
Professor G.. ". Ridgley of the music
department expressed as very COM
mendable.
Several high school that didn't even
place in the contest last year showed
up to good advantage this year, and
every school represented won one or
more events.

FLACSTAFFS WATER
is BASIS FOR LOCAL
BOTTLING INDUSTRY

Do you know we have an industry in
| Flagstaff which is based on its being
able to secure absolutely pure and
fresh water? It's a fact and the in
dustry is that of beverage making,
operated by Frank Brooks on West
Railroad avenue. Mr.. Brooks holds
franchises on several nationally
known drinks, the best known being
Coco Cola. His franchise entities him
to manufacture and sell in Coconino
and Yavapai counties. Besides Coco
Cola, Mr.. Brooks has contracts for
the manufacture Of Delaware Punch,
Hires Root Beer, and Orange, Lemon
and Lime crushes. Along with the
drinks he makes under franchise, Mr..
Brooks also bottles popular fruit
favored drinks under his own brand
Its the water that makes the
drink" said Mr.. Brooks to Sun
reporter while feeding bottles into the
bottling and capping machine. Near
/ ly every other town in this section
has water with slight alkali content,
and any kind of taint or taste in the
water will always reflect on the
quality of the beverage. Nationally
known manufacturers of beverages,
like the Coco Cola people, absolutely
insist on pure and sweet water before
granting a franchise to an independ-
ent manufacturer"
The Brooks Bottling Works is a
model plant. Although its capacity
is small, yet for the first four months
of this year it has turned out 1000
cases of drinks with AZ bottles in the
case. Mr.. Brooks is unable to state
his production for 1926 but it will
run into a large figure. His biggest
months are July, August and Sep
tember, although even the winter
months show fairly consistent con-
sumption of his soft drinks. Most
of his sales are in carload lots to the
larger jobbers in Coconino and Yava-
pal counties.
Very little labor is required in the
bottling plant, most of it being done
by automatic machinery. A bottle
washer, entirely automatic except for
the loading and discharging, insures
absolute cleanliness and sanitation.
The bottles are fed into the washer on
an endless conveyor and pass through
a series of hot and cold waters which
rinse and scald the bottles. The
bottling and Gaping machine comes
in for a good deal of interest from
the uninitiated and one is slightly
amazed to see the almost human way
in which the bottles are loaded with
certain percentage of syrup and
water, capped and are ready for pack
ing in cases. This machine handles
I'd bottles minute working at full
capacity, or in other words 80 cases
an hour. With a car holding 370
cases, it takes about two days work to
fill it, according to Mr.. Brooks.
Mr.. Brooks has contracted for
new machine to be installed soon
which will increase the quality of his
product. This machine will cost in
the neighborhood of $1,000. It's
purpose is to extract the air from the
carbonated water, allowing a greater
percentage Of gas to mix with the
drink. # will make for smoother
and more palatable beverage, Mr..
Brooks said.

Clint's Well Road
Contract Awarded

Bids for the construction of new
road between Clint's Well and Straw
berry in the Coconino national forest
on one of the principal north and
south routes between Phoenix and
Flagstaff were opened by the United
States bureau of public roads in San
Francisco recently with six bids be-
ing submitted. An early award of the
contract is expected.
The project calls for approximately
1873 miles of road and was bid on in

NEW SCENIC LOOP DRIVE
AROUND SUNSET MOUNT

A new road Of scenic beauty, OPEN
ing up regions rich in natural interest,
will be practically completed this
week by the forest service. 1t trav-
erses interesting lava flows and stands
of virgin timber which, because of
sparse growth had not been selected
for the lumberman's axe. Lack of un-
dergrowth gives it parklike appear
arlce. Though it does not resemble
a boulevard at present and probably
will not for a long time to come, until
traffic and rains have packed it down,
as soon as it is open to the public.
This will be loop around Sunset
crater. 1t starts from the Leupp
road about two miles beyond Turkey
Tanks, goes northwesterly to the old
Haisser ranch road through Doney
park east of Sunset mountain. From
there it circles north of the crater to
the ice caves, thence over the lava
beds to the present approach road to
Srinset crater.
There are several branch roads
across the cinder country east of the
mountain, all scenic and passing
through interesting country. One
terminal of this road comes out on the
edge Of the Coconino forest boundary
on the low mesa near the j. Diamond
ranch turmoil. Fine views of the
painted desert are to be had from the
shoulders of several hills.
The forest service has crew un-
der j. J.. McMenamin working on
these new fire roads, which were sur
veyed by Harold Linn. Ed Oldham
has kept men busy out there more or
less all winter, having determined
that before the 1927 fire season ar
rived he would have a system by
which his Commute fire control could
function to this large cinder hill coun-
try. Every year there have been
many forest fires in this area, where
the cinders seem to draw the lightning,
often before the storm actually
breaks.
This road is practically one-way
road, though every 500 yards or SO
tul.nouts have been built. The road is
built in the cinders, which are fine
natural road material. But they are
deep cinders, and until they are
packed and traffic has widened the
road, carefree and speedy travel will
not be possible. If ever a car gets
out of the ruts into the loose cinders
at the side there will be trouble. There
is no water anywhere on the route, SO
interested motorists should go pre-
pared. Most of the grades are not
over six per cent. One eight per cent
grade was made to save long detour.
Eventually when this loop route is
packed down and widened it will be
one Of the most popular Of our many
scenic drives.

Indian Tax Suit
To Be Carried Up

The United States government, act
ing as guardian for Little Silversmith,
Mrs. Little Silversmith and their
daughters, Jane, Mary and Ann, has
instructed its attorney for this district
to file an appeal from the order of
District Judge Jacobs which recently
dismissed the Indian family's tax suit
against the board of supervisors of
Apache county.
The Silversmiths, Big and Little,
are dwellers by the waters Of Jacobs
Well on the Navajo Indian reserva-
tion, and are shearers of sheep, breed
ers of cattle and ropers of horses. In
times gone by they We're what their
name tells, artisans in silver.
The Silversmith live stock ranges
the county, and in 1925 they were as
sessed 500 taxes by the county faith
ers, on 1000 sheep, 80 head Of cat
tie, 100 horses and one automobile.
In protest they contended that this
stock was the natural increase of the
two sheep granted to the head Of each
Indian family in 1870 by decree of
the great white father at Fort Defi-
ance, and therefore, those sheep,
their issue and every bit of property
bought with the proceeds Of those
sheep, belong to the United States =
Judge Jacobs dismissed the case for
lack Of specific evidence concerning
the genealogy of the particular sheep
belonging to the Silversmith family
SIS years after the Fort Defiance or
der was promulgated, and it is from
this order that the appeal is being
taken.
