Neil Erickson
Visits Douglas

Neil Erickson, one of the oldest pio-
neers in this section and the man
who located the famous PARKWAY
ranch in the Chiricahuas, was bus;-
ness visitor to Douglas Wednesday.
Erickson, who has been in the forest
service for the past "a years and is
now stationed at Flagstaff, expects to
be retired from the forest service soon
under the pension provisions provided
by the government.
Erickson came to Arizona from
Massachusetts, in 1881 and for many
years was a soldier of the u. S. cav
airy. In 1882 he took part in the
campaign against Chief Loco. He
fought against Chato's Apaches in
1883 and afterward took part in the
various campaigns against Geronimo.
Erickson was one of 81 scouts deco
rated with the congressional medal of
honor for bravery in this campaign
by the governor of New Mexico.
Erickson first located on the land
now occupied by the PARKWAY ranch
when there were very few settlers in
that vicinity This ranch is located
only three miles from the famous
wonderland OF ROCKS ana is a IdVOT-
ite place for tourists during the SUM
mer. The ranch is conducted by Mrs.
E. M. Riggs, a daughter of Erickson.
"The Wonderland of Rocks is about
as interesting and beautiful as any
place in this section Of the country" Z"
Erickson states, "and is visited by in
creasing numbers of tourists each
year. One Of the best things about it
is that it has plenty of clear, soft wat
er that cannot be surpassed any
where. Because of its easy access
from Douglas it is visited each year
by many tourists from this city,

Prescott For Lees
Ferry Road Plans

Yavapai county's business men ex-
press unqualified approval Of the
Lees Ferry bridge, a part of the
states program of improved COM
munications At the chamber of COM
meree meeting the other night, the
following resolution was adopted
without dissent:
WHEREAS, recent reports to the
office of the superintendent of the
Grand Canyon National Park, indicate
that preliminary surveys of the Lees
Ferry bridge site across the Colorado
river have been completed and plans
for the structure are now being pre-
pared by the United States bureau of
public roads, and
WHEREAS, according to the park
service, which is the only government
agency officially promoting tourist
travel in the United States, such a
bridge at Lees Ferry will have far
reaching effect on motor travel in the
West, it being on the route of the only
major north ard south highway far
across country even more remotely
removed from railroad, and
WHEREAS, said Lees Ferry
bridge will directly connect such out
standing scenic features as the Grand
Canyon, Zion and Yellowstone Ma
tional Parks, as we'll as other features
such as the Painted Desert of Ari-
zona, Canyon of the Little Colorado
and some of the unique sights of
southern Utah, and although the in
creased tourist movement resulting
from this development will be of ben
eft to the entire West, it is impossi-
BILE to estimate the benefits to be de-
rived by the states of Arizona and
Utah, and
WHEREAS, the state engineer of
Arizona has expressed his opinion as
and south route from Nogales via the
main state highway system of Ari-
zona and on up across Lees Ferry to
connect up with the state highway
system of Utah, thus giving the first
connection between Utah and Aci-
Zona, and
WHEREAS, the proposed Lees
Ferry bridge is to be cooperative
arrangement between the federal
government and the state of Arizona,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED,
by the Yavapai County Chamber of
Commerce, in meeting assembled
January 5, 1927, that this organiza-
tion favors the construction of the
Lees Ferry bridge and recommends
that the Yavapai county delegation in
the Arizona state legislature do all in
their power to assist this necessary
construction by matching federal aid
which is now available with state
funds.
Approved: Fl. w. HEAP,
Attest: President

Utah Sees Danger
In Six State Pact

Immediately after the Utah state
senate organized shortly after noon
Monday, Senator Herbert S. Auer-
bach, Salt Lake City, introduced as
an emergency measure a bill which,
if passed, would rescind Utah's ad-
herence to the six-state Colorado
river pact, and substitute therefor
the seven-state pact approved by the
1928 legislature.
In introducing the bill Senator
Auerbach declared that he considered
the six-state pact dangerous to
Utah's interests in the Colorado
river development. The six-state
pact was approved by the 1925 legi-
stature.
