CHAMBERS, ARIZ. EMPTIES
INTO HALLOWSITE, ARIZ

In communication received by The
Tribune from United States Senator
Carl Hayden, the reasons for chang
ing the name of Chambers postofflce
at Chambers, in Apache county is
given, inasmuch as the Tribune on
August 19 expressed impatience in
awaiting information conveying the
reason for the change and the meaning
Of the new name, Halowsite.
In his letter to The Tribune, Sena-
tor Hayden says:
"The major reason presented in
support of the proposed change in
name of Chambers postoffice was on
account Of its similarity to the Chand-
ler office, it being represented that a
certain sheep grower in Chambers
lost $500 through delay in receiving a
bid for his wool due to the letter be-
ing mailed to Chandler and not hav-
ing been remailed to him until five
days later"

New Travel Record
At Grand Canyon

Grand Canyon, UcU o.-Again new
records for travel to Grand Canyon
national park were established during
the travel year ended September 30,
1927, when 162,356 persons visited the
park, an increase of 22,104, or 1916
per cent over the previous high total
established the year before, accord
ing to information issued at park
headquarters today. Visitors came
from every state and from several for
eign countries.
Following the trend Of previous
years, the greatest increase in mode of
travel was that by automobile, the
and passengers 1886 per cent Every
Mexico, China, Alaska, Australia, New
Zealand, Brazil, and Italy were repre-
sented by automobiles entering the
park. California licenses, as usual,
were the most numerous, Arizona run
ming fair second. The record of con-
tinuous days during which automo-
biles entered the park was stopped on
December % when for the first time
in 703 days one or more cars failed to
enter. This record is substantial proof
all-year park for automobile as well
as rail travel.
In reviewing the accomplishments
of the past year toward improvement
of present and construction of addi-
tional facilities for the accommoda-
ton of the increasing number of
visitors, M r. Tillotson, superintend-
ent of the park, called attention to the
extensive road construction in prog
ress; the popular housekeeping cabins,
with main lodge in connection, opened
last spring at the public camp grounds
at Grand Canyon village, and the
elaborate development being con-
structed by the Utah Parks company,
to be known as "Grand Canyon
Lodge" at Bright Angel point on the
north rim. The end of the year
also saw the cross-canyon Kaibab trail
nearing completion. On the whole the
year was considered most progress
sive one, and Mr.. Tillotson expressed
his confidence that the constructive
momentum gained will be maintained
during the next year, the most inn
portant projects now in sight being
the continuation of road construction
and Improvement within the park by
additional allotments of funds aggre-
eating 100000; the remodeling and
reconstruction Of the Bright Angel
camp at Grand Canyon village, and
the completion of the Grand Canyon
Lodge on the north rim. All these
features, Mr.. Tillotson stated, will
tend to increase the travel, and form
the basis for his prediction that the !
succeeding wear will establish a new
record for travel to Grand Canyon ma
tional park.

ONE CHILD KILLED AND
ONE HURT AT TAMPUS

An unidentified Tampus, Ariz.,
youth, age 7, was killed and Clarence
Cornwall, Z, nephew of John Neal, a
wealthy northern Arizona rancher who
was raising him, was probably fatally
injured by cave-in of the banks of
Burro creek on the top of which they
were playing in the Burro creek school
yard on Tuesday.
As the Burro creek school is in an
isolated section of Mohave county, it
was necessary to go 90 miles over
mountain roads to Wickieup in order
to telephone to Kingman for a doctor
for the Cornwall boy.

to fault of his. The. steamer

prompt action of the captain a
more serious disaster would have
occurred.
Captain Rockwell ran to the

making no progress against the
flames, seized the hose and turned
the water against the sides of the

Gated that prime kinds would have

years old and is still at the helm
the oldest steamship captain in
the world. Captain Rockwell
Stands by his good ship "Ver-
mont" trim 262-foot steel
hulled tourist steamer. Day by
day he takes her between dawn
and sundown more than 100 miles
along Lake Champlain.
Captain Rockwell has outIived
numberless pilots and at least
three steamers. When he was IL
years old he shipped as a cabin
boy. In five years time he be-
came captain of a schooner. In
the 80 years he has been a steam
boat pilot and captain he has
weathered two near-disasters, but
never through an act on his has
shipwreck ever occurred. His is
a spotless record, though the long
lake he travels is noted for its
turbulence and violent storms.
"Pay 100 Cents"
Standing on the lower fore deck
when the Vermont" reached
Montcalm Landing, N. Y, its
southernmost port of call, recently,
he was asked to repeat his rule
for attaining long life.
Eat and sleep and work" he
said, "and pay 100 cents on the
dollar, and you'll get along"
The, captains sub-officers who
attend daily mess at his table, say
he never orders special foods but
takes his three squares" regu-
larly and with relish, though he
does not eat as much as they do.
He omits pies and usually drinks
milk as his beverage. He has his
tea, however, once day.
The days work for Captain
Rockwell begins at GAS O'Clock
in the morning, when the Ver-
mont leaves Plattsburgh, and ends
at $40 in the evening when the
good ship returns to it's dock. The
captain stays with the ship during
the navigation season, occupying
the generously proportioned cabin
midships bearing the gold-plated
lettering Captain" on the door.

"He's stronger this year than
he was last" is the way it runs.
"Last year he took the wheel
sometimes and steered her
through the channels himself. He
