WARNING AGAINST
 HIGHWAY SPARKS
State Points Out Danger Of
 Causing Brush Fires

Hartford, Oct. 11.-Continuing its drive to lessen the forest fire haz- ard 10 Connecticut woodlands, the Connecticut state highway depart ment today issued a warning to mo- torists using the highways of this state against throwing lighted cig- arettes and cigars into the under brush and dead leaves along the shoulders of the highways.
 The highway department also is sued caution to property owners along the highways against destroy ing dead leaves by building bonfires on the shoulders of the road. lest sparks from these fires be blown into the woods and develop into for est fires Due to the hot, dry wealth CT of the past month and due to the rapid fall of the leaves, most of tho woodland along the highways in Connecticut is now so dry that the smallest spark might start T conflagration.
 Property owners are requested by the department to rake dead leaves into a protected spot on their own land before burning them and 10 carefully guard all bonfires while they are burning. It is essential to the safety of the woodland that all fires of this nature be carefully eX- tinguished before they are left un- guarded.
 During the past summer the high way department has made special effort to clear from the shoulders of the highway all dry brush and other inflamable materials. Despite this precaution, however, no amount of work can keep the shoulders of the highways free from the accumu- lation of dead leaves. These leaves arc excellent tindcr and only glowing match, cigarette, or cigar is necessary 10 turn them into roaring fire which may destroy thousands of acres of valuable woodland before Il can be cN- tinguishod.-

When tho take-oif will come and whether the trip actually will be nonstop to Copenhagen or include lay over on the British Isles were things that remained largely in the hands of the weather man as the mechanics prepared for final motor tests
 Mrs. Grayson said, that the wea- ther outlook as well as the time needed for engine tests precluded the possibility of a start for two or three days. The Dawn will follow a route slightly south of the great circle but should storms develop or fuel needs dictate. the projected B. 800 mile hop will be broken by a descent either on Ireland or Great Britain.
 Only three of the six persons who came from New York will make the rip. Mrs. Grayson's companions will be Stultz and Goldsborough.
 Today's plans called for an at tempt to lift the Dawn with a gross weight of 1l,00o pounds. A large part of that will be in sand scopped from the beach into sacks obtained from a local grocery store.
 That poundage, translated into gasoline for the actual flight will guarantee the $500 mile hop even under adverse circumstances, t was said.
 Goldsborough announced he would use a wave-length of 600 to 800 meters during the first quarter of every hour, broadcastin the let ters W M U." The planes fusel- age bears the name Dawn" and on the rudder is painted the Danish flag,

Proprietor of Famous
Crooked III Ranch Here

Mr.. Hooker, proprietor of the cele-
brated big "Crooked H" cattle ranch
near Wilcox and Ft. Grant, accom-
panied by his wife and friend, stop
ped in Flagstaff the last of last week
and visited with H. ". Watson, head
of the Arizona Live Stock Loan asso-
citation, who formerly was heavily in
terested in cattle near Wilcox.
Col Ed Hooker, deceased, father of
the present proprietor, was probably
the first cattleman in Arizona. He
came here in 1868, and for years Wis
tied army posts throughout the south
west getting orders for beef, then buy
ing the cattle in Texas and trailing
them in.
The "Crooked H" ranch, famed in
various stories of early days in the
southwest, is very valuable property.
The old Notifications for defense
against Indians still stand. The
ranch has always been noted for its
fine horses, and the stables are all of
redwood, freighted in by wagons from
California.
Though the Babbitt-Cowd cattle
range at Wilcox is close to the
Crooked H" and the Rabbits like the
Hookers were pioneers in this state,
Saturday was the first time represent
atives of the two families-David Bah
bitt and Mr.. Hooker-eevr met.

STATE GAME WARDEN ASKS
MISSISSIPPI FLOOD FISH
FOR FLAGSTAFF'S LAKES

D. E. Pettis, state game warden, ac-
companied by Mrs. Pettis and child
rem, came in Tuesday from Bass
Point, where they had spent several
days. They left the next day for
Springerville and the Apache reserva-
tion.
Mr.. Pettis said F. A. Bengard, SUI
perintendent of hatcheries, will be here
soon with the fish truck. There are
several pools at the edge of Mormon
Lake where receding waters have left
many fish. These will be seined out
and placed in the main body.
1t is planned, according to Mr.. Pet
tbs. to bring load of small perch from
the hatchery for Lake Mary. He
has an application in at the U. S. bu-
reau of fisheries for carload of fish
stranded in pools along the flooded
Mississippi area for Mormon Lake.
If he is successful in obtaining these
fish there will be sunfish, pickerel,
bass, pike and several other varieties.

DinOSdllr Tracks
Stolen Last Week

That someone last week dug up two
or three of the dinosaur tracks in
the limestone near Tuba City and car
ried them away was reported at Flag
staff Chamber of Commerce office on
Saturday by Leo Laden, guide for Nc
Arthur Bros. of Phoenix, who had just
returned from there.
No clue to the identity of the per-
petrator of the outrage has been
found. There is a suspicion that it
might have been someone collecting
for a museum in a neighboring state.
There is a state law against acts of
this sort.
That the dinosaur tracks would be
removed by lawless collectors or other
vandals in their present unprotected
state was to be expected. Even if not
molested, it will only be a question of
time before wind-driven sand and the
elements will obliterate them unless
they are adequately covered. They are
a great attraction and have been
viewed by thousands since their dis
covery a few years ago, their near
ness to the highway making them
very easy to get to. But their re-
moval or obliteration, which at the
present rate will be matter of only
short time, will remove the attrac-
tion.
