The Phoenix-Salt Lake City line
would be the first line to connect the
great area north of the Canyon rim
with Arizona south Of the Colorado
and would permit of a southern out
let to the great trunk lines of tgavel
through the northern part of the
state. Colonization of Arizona would
be greatly stimulated by the opening
of the new route of travel, according
to the opinion of Mr.. Stevens, who
states that he has made q personal
investigation of all Of the territory
through which his stage lines would
operate.
Mr.. Stevens states that an automo-
bile stage line from Flagstaff to Salt
Lake City is at the present time no
more than an expensive pioneering
one and could not be sustained unless
line from Flagstaff to Phoenix,
such as he proposes to place IN oper-
alton, were part of the longer route
so that the losses on that part north
of Flagstaff could be made up by the
traffic south of the latter place. Mr..
Stevens says that Immediately upon
receipt of his permit for the Phoenix
Flagstaff stage line he will put on the
road six Bageol busses each with a
capacity of not less than Is passen-
gers, exclusive of ample baggage
space. Daily and Sunday runs will
be made between the two cities.

OIL SHALE IS GOLDEN VESTS S
NEW BONANZA FOR INDUSTRY

Oil from shale is the vests new
romantic bonanza-but getting it out
is another matter.
With a tremendously increased oil
demand the navy is looking ahead to
the day when the wells go dry.
The government, therefore, has set
aside $4,000 acres of oil shale land in
the Colorado mountains, and $4,000
acres in Utah.
Oil shale is petroleum saturated
clay. 1t is deep-brown or black, and
resembles slate. Colorado and Utah
have whole mountains Of it, inside and
out the naval reserves. Thousands of
acres are already under patent by pri-
vate interests.
Extracting 1t
The problem of getting the oil out
the government has tackled in Colo
rado bv erecting a large experiment
station on Colorado naval shale re.
serve No. 3, mile and half north
west of Rulison, Colo, on the main
line of the Denver & Rio Grande
west of Rifle, Colo.
The first stream of petroleum
sprouted from the retorts there Dec.
80, and is still running. Soon the
first tank car of shale oil ever to
pass over, the rails in the United
States win go from Rulison to the
navy fuel oil testing station at Phila-
delphia. The experiment for which
congress appropriated 100000 in 1925
and $89, 900 additional in 1926 is be-
ieved a success.
M. j. Gavin, government mining
engineer, is the man behind the job.
He is in charge of oil shale investi-
cation for the u. S. bureau of mines.
With congressional backing assured,
Gavin went to Scotland in May, 1925.
There, oil shale has been worked for
years He obtained the construction
and operation data of the Scotch re-
tort and came back to America, as he
says, "to beat the thrifty Scotch at
their own game. :"
Beating the Scotch
eve started building our Scotch re-
tort at Rulison after i got back" he
says. "We also had to build camps,
power houses, and run a 6,000-foot
aerial cable tram from shale quarry
to plant. The quarry is 2,10O feet
above the retorts. The job took
year. First shale went into retort in
September, 1926.
'sThey call it an experiment station,
but it's no test-tube layout. The re-
torts-we have two Of them are com

figures. We have beat them now,

Famous Italian
Plane Destroyed
at Roosevelt Lake

Disaster clothed the heretofore
epoch-making inter-continental flight
of Commander Francesca de Pinedo,
Italian flier, at Roosevelt Lake We'd
nesday, when his hydroplane, the
Santa Maria, burst into flames short
" after noon at its mooring place on
the lake and burned to q charred
mass, the engines dropping from the
fuselage to the bed of the lake in so
feet Of water.
The picturesque Italian aviator, VINO
was ashore bidding the crowd good
bye prior to hopping off for San
Diego, Calf, was undaunted at the
tragedy that had befallen his tour.
Shortly after the blaze had burned
itself out he said that he would re-
main at Roosevelt dam for a few
days, ascertaining the possibility of
rebuilding the ship. Preparations to
raise the engines from their resting
place on the bottom of the lake are
under way.
Definite origin of the fire had not
been ascertained, but members of the
Santa Maria's crew declared they were
positive that the blaze did not start
aboard the ship. The most plausible
cause advanced was that an unextin-
guished cigaret butt or lighted
match had been carelessly thrown into
the lake, igniting the oil coated
waters.

SWALLOWS BLADE OF SAFETY

FARMINGTON, N. M The case
of Mrs. Clarence Hoskins, who swal-

zled local physicians, who stated Fri
day that a second X-ray taken the
previous night indicated that Mrs.
Hoslins was well out of danger, with
no apparent effects from the accident.
The second X-ray showed that the
blade had practically passed through
the bowels, and physicians stated that
they felt hope that an operation would
be unnecessary.
Mrs. Hoskins who had been ill for
some time with flu, had been pairing
her fingernails with the razor and
took one end Of the blade in her mouth
while changing her position in bed.
She was seized with a paroxysm Of
coughing and swallowed the blade.

in regard to the research stated:
Enough importance is attached to

Growing interest in science by stu
dents has resulted in movement to
organize a science club.
Chester F. Deaver, head of the
science department, is the instigator
of the movement, first of its kind at
the college.
Members Of the initiating group
have written to many of the best col
leges and universities for information
on science clubs and copies of consti-
tutions and programs.
Reports on scientific Investigations,
talks by members and others inter-
ested in science work, and study Of
plant life around the college are only
few Of the things the club will
sponsor.
Work on the herbarium of the sci
ence department as well as helping
sponsor the movement for a museum
at the college is planned by the
students.

to the Chamber of Commerce Tues
day night, he said:
sThere is no way at present for
the people of Utah to reach either
central or southern Arizona by train
or otherwise except by travelling over
thousand miles further than my
line would be from Flagstaff to the
north My fare would be about one
half of the present railroad fare, and
would cut the time of travel one-half
to one-third of the time now required
by rail Flagstaff would be a night
stop, which would require all passen-
gers to lay over in your town, with
its attendant advantages. My line
would place in close communication
two Of the largest settlements of
Mormons in the United States and the
travel should in short time be very
heavy.

ness should increase if the travelling

highland with the lowland country,
giving to the north in winter an OPP
portunity to visit the sunny south and
enabling the south in the summer to
escape from the extreme hot weather.
Aside from the question of personal
convenience, he gives it as his opin-
ion that trade relations will be great
ly stimulated not only within the
state but from many places beyond its
borders not in communication with
any part Of Arizona.
When the Colorado river bridge is
built, it was pointed out at Tuesday
nights meeting, if bus line is oper-
ating over the road from Flagstaff
north across the bridge it will greatly
stimulate other automobile travel;
also with the growth of travel will
come as a natural consequence more
immediate building of modern high

Miss Sybil Jacobs of Flagstaff was
elected president of the Women's
club, Beta Sigma Kappa, at the quar-
terly election held last week. Avonell
Irwin was elected vice. president; Rosa
Wooten, secretary; Susan Gist, treas
urer: Carrie Fuqua, chorister; Louise
Curtis, pianist, and Jayne Gibbons,
yell leader.
A. E. "Turk" Way, who gained the
name of ssthe Terrible Turk" in his
fight with Young Torriez at Winslow
last month, viii enter some real class
this month when he meets Bud Lacy
of Needles in the main event of a
fight card at Winslow. Lacy figured
prominently in q main event at Wins
low last month and has gained dis
tinction as a fighter on the Pacific
coast. Although "Turk" he's figured
in several fights throughout the state,
this is his first go in this class.
Five students at the college have
already entered as contestants in the
college eratorical contest, which will
be held April %, the winner of which
will represent the college at the state
oratorical contest at Phoenix, April
80.
The subject chosen for the prelimi-
nary orations is Prevention of War.
The orations are not to exceed Is min
utes and must have original ideas for
prevention of war without using war
as a means.
Professor E. C. Glass of the train
ing school is in charge of the contest.
Plans for a girls field day some
time next month are being worked
out under the direction of Dean Min
ME F. Lintz, Miss Lora Maxwell and
group of girls representing Beta
Sigma Kappa.
I'VE want to have every girl on the
campus a participant in one or more
of the activities during the day." said
Dean Lintz.
Swimming, sprinting, baseball, vol
ley ball, tennis, cageball, hockey, DIS
Gus and javelin throwing and archery
are q few of the sports that will be
contested.
From all appearances the girls are
going to have some time.
Inauguration of system of re-
search at the training school that
will consume the greater part Of the
time of one of the critic teachers, was
made this quarter. The research will
be divided into three month periods,
of which each teacher will take a
period.
The purpose is to reveal different
methods for training school work and
improve the efficiency of the teachers.
Miss Dorothy I. Gregg, fourth
grade critic teacher, is starting the
first work in the research. Miss
Mercedes Pozzobon, practice teacher,
is taking charge Of Miss Gregg's aft

and so far, our maximum oil output
for one day is 204 gallons.
No Outside Fuel
I'VE don't use outside fuel to dis
til petroleum from the shale. Oil,
gas and water are given off in oper-
alton. The gas is combustible, and is
burned to heat the mass in the Scotch
system. The oil is stored in 250-bar-
rel tanks. The spent shale is dumped
down the mountainside.
So far, we have mined all our shale
on the surface. We viii soon test its
workability underground, with shafts
and drifts. 4
eve send frequent samples to our
laboratory and experimental refinery
at the University of Colorado, in
Boulder. We also supply samples to
universities, research laboratories and
oil companies for study. We expect
to complete our work only after we
The Coconino sun., 1927-04-08

have made every possible test Of the
possibilities Of oil shale for CONNER
cial production.
Gavin and his men live like real
mountaineers. There are camps, with
cook shacks and bunk houses at the
quarry and at the retorts.
Gavin believes that as the result of
this pioneer work the day will come
when this new western romance will
be commonplace. Long tank cars will
roll daily to the refineries from the
shale beds, and motor cars will chug
merrily up mountains burning fuel
wrung by science from the mountains
themselves.

HAVE LITTLE FEAR
OF ARTIFICIAL WOOL

Wooden manufacturers in the West
riding of Yorkshire are not disturbed
by the discovery of artificial wool;
neither are the wool merchants con-
cerned In buying and selling the raw
material perturbed.
AS far as can DE ascertained the
new material shows no immediate sign
Of coming onto the market In guam
titles sufficient to affect the price Of
wool.
The new synthetic fiber, which has
vegetable basis, has been subjected
to exhaustive tests which show that 1t
can be used with advantage In both
knitted and woven fabrics.
1t can be supplied to spinners, 1t Is
stated, in practically any length of
staple required, and is suitable for use
in variety Of fabrics for clothes,
rugs, and similar goods
Like artificial silk, 1t can be used
for fancy effects in combination with
wool or other material.-London Tit
