1t is very gratifying to note the general
establishment work going on in the pub
lie park near the seashore. With benches
repaired AND painted, the ~bandstand
rooted afresh that locality is taking on
an appearance that will be a credit to all
concerned. The grass is unfortunately
very much out OF shape, and doubtless
this will receive attention and the
squares will be nicely replanted and pro-
tected by a low rail or hedge to discour-
age trampIing across the plots which in
a short time destroys what may have
taken months to perfect.

sands of dollars in taxes and that the
issue involved will have tendency to
discourage business in automobile
lines;
Therefore, be it the sense of the
meeting that we, the officers of the
Salt River valley, county of Maricopa,
inform Governor George w. P. Hunt,
chief executive of the state of Arl-
zona, that we look to him to see that
these conditions are remedied; that we
feel the state, through its highway
department or other agencies can avail
itself of funds to complete the Apache
trail and to remedy for the entire
state of Arizona in some manner the
automobile license difficulty, and that
we consider this of grave and utmost
Importance to the welfare of the citi-
zens of the entire state, and look to
him for immediate relief.

Blame Gov. Hunt
For Lack of Funds
i OF Upper Basin

The burden of seeing that the
Apache Trail is opened by the state
highway department and the furnish
ing of license plates to automobile
owners by the secretary of state was
placed on the shoulders of Governor
Hunt in a resolution adopted by the
directors of the chambers of COM
merce of Salt River valley and offi-
GERS of the civic clubs at joint meet
ing lin the Arizona club, Phoenix.
It was shown that the plates that
would be needed to fill out the year
would not cost over $1,000 The feel
ing was that such small sum could
be easily raised if the secretary of
state wished to do so. That if neces-
sary the county assessor could get the
plates and hold out the purchase price
on the issuing of the plates. In this
matter the consensus of opinion was
that the governor could find way out
of the emergency if he would use his
office toward that end.
After the adoption of the resolution
by unanimous consent of those pres
ent the chairman of the meeting said
that committee would be named rep
resenting all the civic bodies of the
Salt River valley to wait on the gov
ernor and present the resolution and
that this committee would make pub
lie the governors reply. The resolu-
tion adopted at the meeting follows:
Be 1t Resolved, that we. the vari-
Gus civic bodies of the Salt River val
ley, county of Maricopa, assembled at
a meeting of the board of directors of
the Phoenix chamber of commerce,
this 7th day of July, 1927:
Whereas, the closing of the Apache
reports coming to US, that the present
administration of state government is
discriminating against the county of
matters pertaining to highways, which
will affect the prosperity of every
citizen; and,
Whereas, tn eclosing of the Apache
trail is an emergency measure and a
direct violation of contract between
the state of Arizona and the Salt
River Valley Water Users association,
in which the state agreed to replace
the present road now under water,
and that the closing of the trail will
be the means of discouraging num-
bers of tourists who would have spent
within the state thousands of dollars
if not compelled to take another road,
that inasmuch as we have expended
considerable energy and money in en-
deavoring to bring outside capital for
investment into the state, creating ad-
ditional taxable wealth, the closing of
the trail will undoubtedly discourage
the said capital, such as the building
of the $750,000 hotel by the Southern
Pacific at Horse Mesa Lake as well as
extensive improvements contemplated
at Canyon Lake; and,
Whereas, according to the state
ments of the secretary of state, the
shortage of automobile license plates
will cost the various counties thou

NAVAJO CHARLIE MAKES
RAIN AT GRAND CANYON

The Grand Canyon is normally a
dry town. When it is wet--in the
sense of excessive precipitation-iti is
simply unusual and not at all in keep
ing with the weather mans forecast.
However, such state of affairs ex-
listed few days ago when it rained
over one and one-half inches in
twenty-four hours. Nothing more
weather would have followed if it had
not been for Navajo Charlie. Navajo
Charlie, who is the silversmith at the
Hopi House, claims full credit for the
recent rain.
Navajo Charlie brought few leaves
of wild tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata)
common at the Grand Canyon to the
park information office. He ex-
planned to Ranger Fred johnson how
the Navajos caused it to rain by
smoking and talking.
Two days later, when the wild to-
bacco leaves had dried, Navajo Char
lie returned to the information office
to demonstrate. He crumpled the dry
leaves until they were broken into
small pieces and then rolled the to-
bacco into piece of corn husk. While
smoking he would make circular
motion with his head and body, blow
ing the smoke towards the various
Navajo directions, and talking Nava-
10 between puffs. He assured US that
we would soon have "plenty of rain. Z
That night it rained hard with in
termittent showers occurring the fol
lowing day Navajo Charlie returned
to the information office between
showers and pointed to the wet
ground, threatening clouds, chuckled
and sauntered away with a beaming
countenance.

Kerr; this week Assistant District
Forester Hugh G. Calkins is on the

While speeding to bad lightning
fire yesterday, along the highway
near Double Cabin park, Road Super
intendent Young heard ping" on
his left front fender and saw black
paint flakes flying from the impact Of
what he supposed to be stone, but
proved to be a bullet, which left a
three-inch groove in the fender. Had
the bullet flown a little higher, or A.
B. been travelling bit faster, the
casualty would doubtless have proved
more serious.
A letter received this week from
Forest Supervisor H H. Cope of the
Benning Alabama forest formerly
assistant supervisor on the Coconino)
reports a general dislike of that re-
gion, his opinion epitomized by refer
ring to it as .this oven of the uni
