RUSTLER PARK
WILL Be Open
TOCARS SOON

Rustler Park, located on top of the
Chiricahua mountains, will soon be
opened to the public by way of the
new government road through Pinery
canyon. Five years ago. G. E, Pettin-
gall, manager of the Cochise Overland
company with r. H. Caughlan,. local
manager of the Pickwick Stages sys-
tenn, drove the first automobile into
Rustler Park. This feat was accom-
plished in an Overland four-the trip
being made via Paradise - up the
mountain over an old Sawmill road
which had not been used for. over 20
years, and was, as matter of fact,
only mere trail climbing over $500
feet in three miles with grades up to
35 degrees.
Immediately after this trip the pub
scs interest was aroused in fIuStler
Park and the Chiricahua range as a
whole. The Y. w. c. A. camp was To-,
Gated in Rustler Park, several cabins
were built there and the interstate
Y. M. G. A. camp was located in Pin
cry. This public interest caused the
county to spend considerable money
on the old road from Paradise to the
top-Which road has from that time
had considerable use. The question
Of good roads into the mountains to
provide better fire protection and to
open up the recreational areas was
given considerable thought by the for
est service and at last sufficient sum
of money was set aside by them for the
construction of an per cent road up
Pinery canyon connecting with the old
Paradise road at Turkey Park, at an
altitude of approximately 5000 feet.
This road is now nearing compile
ton, and on Saturday of last week an
other Overland product this time a
Whippet Six, was driven up from
Paradise, across several mountain
trails, thence onto the new govern
ment road and down Pinery canyon.
This trip was made by c. E. Pettingall
and family, accompanied by S G.
Dowell. Deep mud and slippery roads
were encountered but the Whippet
Six like it's smaller brother the Over
land Four-made the trip with flying
colors-thus being the first car to &C
tually cross the Chiricahua mountains
on its own power.
The forest supervisors announce the
Pinery canyon road will be continued
in to Rustler Park; the road camp will
be moved this week and in another
months time the public may enter
RuStler Park over an per cent road
through beautiful mountain scenery
equal to any in the state.

| WASHINGTON. - At least four OF
the new senators ought to be able, tC
restrain themselves from increasing
the big hot wind of superfluous oratory
i for which the senate is SO justly fam
ous They are Alben w. Barkley OF
Kentucky, Carl Hayden Of Arizona
: Millard Tydings of Maryland and FL
/ mer Thomas of Oklahoma. All are
democrats and all have seen long SER
vice in the house, where one is taught
that democrats should be seen and
not heard. Occasionally member is
allowed to speak in the house, but very
often he is stopped before he can
! reach his subject.
These four men, promoted by their
states at the expense of distinguished
republicans, are all of senatorial cali
! bre and their presence in the upper
house will give no comfort to those
who would convince us of the stupidity
of the electorate.
Hayden explains that he learned his
lesson very early in the game. He was
elected to the house 16 years ago. For
whole month he kept perfectly, still.
Then one day up came some legislation
affecting forest conservation. Hayden,
Arizona'S only congressman, thought
he knew something about forests and
forest fires and under the five-minute
rule, undertook to compress what he
knew into a measly little five minute
speech.
No sooner had he finished than for
mer Congressman w. j. Talbert of
South Carolina, an old Confederate
veteran, came over to him and said in
kindly tones:
"Well, see you finally had to make
a speech. Every young fellow here
feels he has to get into the Record.
I'll give you a tip. It's easy to get
into the Record, but it's mighty hard
to get out"
Hayden says he has always remem-
bered the advice and threatens to be
the silent sphynx of the next session
in the senate.
Barley recently returned from
Chautauqua tour through Texas, Ari-
zona, New Mexico and California, dur
ing which he spoke at onenight stands
on public questions of current interest.
Apparently he is not unduly impressed
by the dignity of his new job. Here's
one of the stories he told his audi
enceS:
A school teacher in a District of Co.
4umbia school, handling class in gov
ernment, asked pupil, "How is con-
gress composed?"
"It's composed of the senate" re-
piled the bright boy.

Valley Made Beautiful
By Fields OF Glorious
POppies Of California

"For moment I thought I wa.
in California and then I saw the
beautiful Arizona mountains and !
knew I was still in my home state,
but from the miles and miles of
golden California poppies growing
near Douglas, it certainly does re-
mind one of California said a
prominent resident of Douglas We'd
nesday.
The above mentioned country lies
about 80 miles north of Douglas, and
it is a beautiful sight from ali reports
that come from those who have visit
ed in that vicinity recently.
From all reports the valley is more
beautiful this summer than ever be-
fore. The grass is richer and deeper.
Opinion is that the rains nave been
heavier this year thus producing all
the verdure,
