Site Selected For
North Rim Hotel

With the definite selection of a site
for the location Of hotel facilities on
the north rim of the Grand Canyon,
immediate steps toward building
operations will be undertaken by the
Union Pacific Railway company, ac-
cording to a statement made by
Superintendent M. r. Tillotson upon
his return from a conference with rail-
road and government officials.
The location decided upon for the
new hotel development is Bright An
gel Point, where there may be had an
unsurpassed view of the Canyon and
where existing roads and trails, as
well as other transportation facilities
now under construction and planned
make this the most readily accessible
s,f any North Rim point.
Tentative plans already prepared,
1ilyolve the construction of large
CENTRAL hotel building to contain dim
ilg room, kitchen, lobby, recreation
room. ETC., and 65 detached cabins as
sleeping quarters for guests. The
buildings throughout will be con-
structed of logs and stone and every
modern hotel facility will be avail
able for the thousands who annually
visit the north rim of the Canyon by
way of the Kaibib forest.
Detailed plans are now being drawn
up by the architect and surveys are
already in progress. 1t is planned
that construction work will continue
throughout the winter so that the
hotel will be open to receive visitors
by June 1928.

STATE TAX MEETING TO Be HELD
AT FLAGSTAFF JULY Is TO II

The first state tax conference in
two years will be held this year in
Flagstaff, July %, IS and 27, in
elusive, according to an announcement
made by the state tax commission.
Due to failure of the 1925 legis-
lature to make an appropriation for
the conference, no conferences were
held during the years 1925 and 1926.
Prior to that an annual conference
had been held each year subsequent
to statehood.
Notices that the conference would
be held in Flagstaff this year were
sent out by the commission to the
clerks of the boards of supervisors in
each county and to the county as
SCISSORS. They are required to attend.
No letters of special invitation will
be sent out this year to various tax
payers and tax associations to at
tend as in the past, Charles R. Howe,
chairman of the commission said. In
stead a general invitation is extended
to all interested taxpayers in the state
to attend the conference.
The abstracts of the tax rolls of
each county in the state will be dis
cussed at the conference and the tax
officials of each county will defend
their valuations. Each class of
property in the state will be discussed
in order that the tax commission when
it sits as the state board of tax equal
ization during the first part of August
will be prepared to place, as nearly as
possible. uniform valuation on all
classes of property in the state.

Little LdngstOn Girl
Knocked DOlUn By Car
Not Seriously Hurt

Theon, 10-year-old daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Langston, last week
was knocked down by car driven by
Mrs. HI. r. Greer and injured so that
she will have to remain in bed for two
weeks. No bones were broken and
there will probably be no permanent
injury, but the blow from the fender
and the shock of the fall upon the
pavement rendered her totally deaf
for many hours. Her hearing is still
impaired but it is thought that COM
plete rest until all inflammation is
gone will completely restore her hear
ing.
Mrs. Greer was fortunately travel
ing slowly. She was driving up
Beaver street in front of the Langston
home when the little girl on roller
skates darted out chasing ball She
was watching another approaching
car so intently that she failed to see
that of Mrs. Greer, which struck her
in such manner that she fell in front
of the middle OF the car. One wheel
ran over one skate, tearing it and
the shoe from the foot.

salary, but at that time decided not
to accept. An even better offer was
made by telegraph few days ago and
its terms, combined with other con-
siderations, have prompted accept
ance. The other considerations are
that her parents have recently bought
a fine home at Long Beach, and she
can be with them; also her new duties
will leave her time to take university
work at nights.
Mrs. Smith after graduate two
year course at the Normal school at
Valley City, S. D., took two years at
the University of Minnesota, fol
lowed by extension work at LaSalle
Extension university. She is young
woman of great executive ability,
devotion to duty and unusual personal
ity and charm. She has hundreds of
admiring friends in Flagstaff and
throughout this state who will re-
gret her decision to leave US, but who
will rejoice in her good fortune in
securing a position which is just about
twice as remunerative as the one she
now has.

The Sun surmised and said last week

At the conference here Saturday
the county supervisors agreed to stand
the expense of building approaches

Navajo Indian reservation said he
would guarantee laying of new floor

O'ERHANGING CLOUDS
SPOILED OBSERVATIONS
TOTAL ECLIPSE MOON

Though unusually careful prepara-
tions had been made at Lowell OBJ
servatory, Flagstaff, for observing
and taking photographs of the total
eclipse Of the moon Wednesday MORN
ing, the clouds, unusual for this time
of year, prevented more than brief
view.
The eclipse began here at about
10:30 Tuesday night, but it was not
until about two o'clock that rift ap-
peared in the clouds and though the
cameras were instantly trained on the
phenomenon the rift closed before suf-
ficient time elapsed for good pictures.
However, there will be an even bet
ter eclipse of the moon next year.
Observations of lunar eclipses are not
especially valuable except from the
opportunity they give to gather data
useful in study Of the upper strata of
earth's own atmosphere. Lunar
eclipses are visible from much more
of earth than solar eclipses.
Totality in the eclipse occurred here
about 1920 Wednesday morning, DR..

atory, said Wednesday.
