Protests Are Made
Against Sec. Works
Special Dam Men

A formal protest was filed Friday
by Senator King, democrat, Utah,
against Secretary Works appointment
Of a Colorado river fact-finding COM
mission to make recommendations
concerning the construction Of dam
in the river.
AS constituted, the commission
would not be a fact-finding body, but
would be a ratification commission
for the Boulder canyon dam, the
Utah senator declared. A majority of
the commission, he charged, are COM
mitted to the Boulder canyon project
and no representation is given to the
opposition.
"The commission should have been
appointed to represent all view
points, so that the investigation
would produce unbiased conclusions, =
he added. The commission might as
we'll prepare report endorsing the
Boulder canyon dam without even sit
ting, as that will be their recommend
ation."
A similar view was expressed by
Senator Ashurst, democrat, Arizona,
who declared that Secretary Work ap-
parently sought only to have Boulder
canyon dam approved by the commits
sion, as neither Arizona nor Utah have
representation.

COMPILING ARIZONA'S
VACATION DIRECTORY

Preparations for the opening 5f the
See Arizona" movement for this
season are forecast in request
broadcast by the Arizona Industrial
Congress this week for revised data
for 1927 directory of summer re-
sorts and guest ranches of the state.
Chambers of commerce and resort
managers are being urged By the
state development body to cooperate
IN making available a complete list
of all resorts in the state, together
with sufficient details regarding each,
such as accommodations, location, di-
version offered and prices, to make up
a full directory for vacation bound
Arizonans. Letters sent to the re-
sorts whose names are available also
ask that mention be made of airy en-
largements and improvements made
since last year, while the chambers of
commerce are especially asked TO aid
In obtaining the names of all new
resorts.
During the past three years thou
sands of copies of an "Arizona Vaca-
tion Directory" have been distributed
by chambers of commerce, the Auto
club, the Industrial Congress, motor
dealers, and other agencies, and it is
expected demands for such informa-
tion will set a new high record this
season. Although it is intended pri-
marily for the summer season and
features summer resorts throughout
the state, the directory also includes
guest ranches, regardless of whether
they operate primarily in winter or
summer.

HISTORY OF LEES FERRY
Extracts from Address by County Attorney r. M. Gold
at Meeting of Flagstaff Hiram Club

It is remarkable, in the march of
history, how there will still cling to
spot name that, probably, should
not have been attached and that
should be forgotten This happens to
be the case with Lees Ferry, desig-
nation now commonly accepted for the
mouth of the Paria river, though it
comnemorates the Mountain Mea-
dows massacre, through the name of
the leading culprit in that awful from
tier tragedy. Yet John Doyle Lee was
at the river only few years of all
the years of the ferry's long period
of use. The name seems to have been
started within that time, firmly fixed
in the chronicles of the Powell ex-
pedition, in the books of the expedi-
tion later and of Dellenbaugh.
John d. Lee located at the mouth of
the Paria early in 1872 and named it
Lonely DELL" by Dellenbaugh con-
sidered a most appropriate designa-
ton. Lee built a log cabin and ac-
quired some ferry rights that had
been possessed by the church (Mor-
mon).
An interesting detail of the ferry is
given by J. H. Beadle in his Western
Wilds." He told of reaching the ferry
from the south June %, 1872. The
attention of ferryman could not be
attracted, so there was use of boat
that was found hidden in the sand
and brush. This was the Emma
Dean," left by POWELL The ferryman
materialized two days later, calling
himself major Doyle" but his real
identity was developed soon there
after. Beadle gives about chapter
of his interview with Lee, whom he
called sborn fanatic" Beadle, who
had written much against the church,
also had given a false name, but his
identity was discovered by Mrs. Lee
through clothing marks. Beadle quot
ed MRS. Doyle" as saying that her
husband had been with the Mormon
battalion. This was hardly exact,
though it does appear that Lee, Oc-
teber 10, 1846, was in Santa Fe with
Howard Egan, the couple returning
to Council Bluffs with pay checks the
battalion members were sending back
toward the support of their families.
The two messengers had overtaken
the battalion at the Arkansas cross
ing. But Beadle slept safely in Lees
house, which he left on Independence
day, departing by way of Jacobs
Pools.
July 13, another of Powell's boats
was brought down the river. Just a
month later, Powell arrived at Lonely
Dell from Kanab. August II, he
The Coconino sun., 1927-04-15

started down the river again from
the Paria, leaving the Nellie Powell'
| to the ferryman. This trip was OF
short duration, for the river was left
finally at Kanab Wash.
October Is, 1873, was launched at
the ferry, by John l.. Blythe, much
| larger boar than had been known be-
fore, made of timber brought from a
remote point near the Utah line. The
same winter Hamblin located new
road from the Paria mouth to the San
Francisco mountains.
In June Of 1874, an Indian trading
post was established at the ferry and
there was erection of what was
called strong fort"
In the fall of 1874, Lee departed
from the river. This for the purpose
of securing provisions in the south
ern settlements of Utah. Several
| travellers noted in their journals that
Lee wanted nothing but provisions in
exchange for ferry tolls. It was on
| this trip that he was captured by
United States marshals in southern
Utah, thereafter to be tried, convicted
| March %, 1877), on the spot where

| Much of romance is attached to
Lees residence on the Colorado. The
writer has heard many tales how Lee
worked rich gold deposits nearby, how
he explored the river and its canyons
and how, for a time, he was in Sc
clusion among the Hava-Supai In
dians in the remote Cataract Canyon,
to which, there was assumption, he,
had brought the fruit seeds from
which sprang the Indian orchards.
This would appear to be mainly as
sumption, for Lee made his living by
casual ferrying, and had to be on
hand when the casual traveller called
for his services. Many. of the old
tales are plausible, and have had ac-
| ceptance in previous writings of the
author, but it now appears that Lees
residence on the canyon was only as
above stated. j. Lorenzo Hubbell
states that Lee was at MoeHcopi for
a while before going to take charge
of the ferry.
In the summer of 1877, Ephriam X.
Hanks was advised by President
Brigham Young to buy the ferry, but
this plan fell through on the death of
the president. The ferry, later, was
bought from Emma Lee by Warren
M. johnson, as church agent, he pay
| ing 100 cows, which were contributed
| by the people Of southern Utah and
northern Arizona settlements, they
receiving tithing credits therefor.

LEAVES CASH ESTATE
HAS NO RELATIVES

An estate that consists entirely of
deposit of cash was brought into
the probate court at Phoenix with the
filing of petition for letters Of adj
ministration for John Spain. John
III. Robinson is the petitioner and will
be in charge of the estate as soon as
he files bond in the sum of $4,000.
John Spain died, incompetent, last
July and John Robinson senior was
his guardian. Having since died, his
son takes up the work and is the
petitioner in this case.
The estate consists of $3,135l58 in
cash, and hence there is no need for
appraisers.
It is noted in the petition that Mr..
Spain had no known kinfolk, and that
the petitioner appears to carry the
role of friend to carry on his estate.

In many rooms we have particu-

even and rather narrow because the
room is low -ceilinged and needs the
added height which is obtained
through the perpendicular lines. The
rectangular shape of the panels is re-
peated in the lattice-like lines in the
wallpaper, but they are broken at reg
ular intervals by charming baskets
of bright.colored flowers. The paper
is formal enough, but of such bright
and happy colors that the whole room
is built around it. The simple straight

in the large boards of the floor carry
the rectangular effect into the fur

Home Building Hints.

The permanence of the modern home
Is just as important as the perma-
nence of all other buildings, yet you
seldom find any one as much con-
cerned about the durability of the
materials that go into homes as about
those that go into schools, hospitals.
Office structures and the like. The
mere fact of difference in size of the
buildings seems to have made differ
ence in the public mind. Yet homes
are everywhere acknowledged to be
the bulwarks of the country. and the
type and number of homes are usually
taken as a good criterian Of the sta
hility and prosperity of a population.

MILLION HOMES HELD

100000 Marriages, Deterioration
Destruction by Fire and Better

Perusal Of news columns calls at
tention to the following facts:
More than 100000 marriages each
year in the United States.
Deterioration of definite number
of homes each year by the ravages Of
time and the elements.
Destruction by fires.
Destruction by increased demands OF
railroads, utilities, industry and mer-
camille needs.
Better living conditions demanded
by the American wage earners, the
abolition of old-time tenements unfit
for present-day needs. =.
An estimate from the above items
means that more than 100000 homes
should be built annually to meet these

A nine golf course, which prob.

Plans for an elaborate clubhouse
TO be erected on the course, which will
be known as the Kenwood Golf Club,
now are being drawn. and tennis
courts and a swimming pool also are
to be constructed as a part of the
plan.
AS preliminary work to the develop
ment of this proposed new community,
more than four miles of new streets
have been graded, and construction
gangs now are at work. paving the
first section of the community, where
10 or IL houses soon are to be built,

Streets Preserve Contour.
The new streets are about a dozen
in number and are laid out in con-
formity with the natural rolling con-
tour of the land, and in places are
given sweeping curves in order to
make possible preservation of trees in
this section, which is well wooded.
A parkway between $50 and 800 feet
wide is to be developed at the north
west side of the community, near the
golf course. and will run from River
road to Goldsboro road, following the
line of small stream. There will be
another park development at the op-
posite side of the section, on either
side of Dorset avenue, which has been
cut through from Wisconsin avenue,
opposite its intersection with Grafton
street, to River road. Dorset avenue,
when completed, thus will provide a
new and much shorter thoroughfare
