City of "Sun and SnO''

Flagstaff, Arizona, this little city
you must know,
Nesting 'mong the pine trees, city of
sun and sno,"
When you come to Arizona, as you
surely will some day
Don't fail to stop at Flagstaff, and
make nice long stay.
The altitude is high, the air is pure
and light,
And in northern Arizona, is almost
every kind of sight.
Overlooking this little city, are the
San Francisco Peaks,
While in every direction, near and
far, can be seen natures freaks.
There are the wonderful cliff dwell
ings, made bv ancient hands,
Meteor Mountain, Sunset Crater, and
miles of lava lands.
The Petrified Forest, and Painted
Desert are not many miles away,
And the Hopi Indian reservation, a
visit there will pay.
But Of all the wonderful sights,
there's none that can compare,
To the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon,
describe it? / would not dare!

NEIL ERICKSON RETIRES
FROM ACTIVE WORK AFTER
MANY YEARS In FORESTRY

Neil Erickson, forest ranger, at his
own request will be put on the retired
list on December 9 after completing
"a 1-2 years of active duty with the

he transferred to the Coconino as Gus
todian of Walnut Canyon national

Ms. Erickson is a pioneer in the

for five years in four campaigns with
the forces of Generals Crook and
Miles during the stirring times of the
depredations and capture of Chiefs
Loco, Chato, and Geronimo, reaching
the grade of first sergeant of Troop
E. In 1886 after his period of army
service he settled on a ranch on the
slopes of the Chiricahuas and has
since maintained the place as the fam
lily home, spending the winters there
during the past six years. Mr.. Erick-
soon ha S a long record of faithful
service, outstanding loyalty to the
forest service and its ideals, and a rec
ord of successful contacts with the
residents of his former district, the
Dragoon-Whetstone on the Coronado,
and with many thousands of visitors
during the past six years at Walnut
Canyon.

FLAGSTAFF STEAM
LAUNDRY A MODERN
WELL EQUIPPED PLANT

People gave US just one month to
stay in business" recounts Henry
Albers, owner of the Flagstaff Steam
Laundry, referring to the time when
he and Edgar Brown, since deceased,
started in the laundry business back
in 1911 in the old electric light plant
near the normal school.
owe didn't miss the prediction by
more than a hair, but somehow by put
ting our noses to the grindstone we
pulled through after struggle and
today are still in business" he said.
Mr.. Albers came to Flagstaff in
1904 and for several years worked in
Rabbits mems furnishing depart
ment, then had charge Of the Milton
commissary for a period of six
months. Desiring to go into the
sheep business, Mr.. Albers hired out
to the Babbitt Sheep company and
learned the business from the bottom
up, finally having his own outfit. Cir
cumstances made it seem advisable to
sell and in 1911 he became laundry
man without previous experience.
The start of the business was natu-
rally in small way, first being To-
Gated as beforesaid in the old electric
light plant. From here the business
was moved few years later to the
second story of the present electric
light plant and continued to be oper-
ated there until March 16, 1925, when
the new laundry building and plant
were ready for occupancy.
The plant is a model of efficiency
and convenience. No effort has been
spared to secure the most modern and
up.to-date machinery and Mr.. Albers
says that in looking over his plant he
can find no trace of equipment in
stalled in 1911. In some cases the ma
chimes have been replaced twice or
three times. Every class Of work is
handled in the plant with the excep-
ton of dry cleaning. He cordially IN
vites the public to come and see how
a modern steam laundry operates. All
machines are equipped with lndepend-
ent electric motors. Instead OF gen
Grating its own steam, the plant has a
special high pressure steam line dl-
rect from the light company's boilers.
'eThe laundry business today" de-
clares Mr. Albers, SIS most substan-
tial and every day is getting better
as more people turn from the home
laundries to steam laundries." Dur
ing the busiest time at the plant,
which is during four summer months,
the average number of employees IS
55 with a payroll running in the neigh
borhood of $500 a week. (
Mr.. Albers says he can gauoe busi-
ness conditions for the whole of Flag
staff merely by the laundry work he
receives. If the laundry from hotels,
barber shops and restaurants falls off
it is a positive indication that busl-
ness has slowed up. One business man
calls him several times year to get
line on business conditions in Flag
staff.

Tourist Car Hit By
Carload of 'Drunks'

Four local men were hailed into JUS
tice court Wednesday morning for
their part in an auto crash three miles
east Of town when the car in which
they were riding hit head-on with
tourists car Tuesday night at 9 p. M,
damaging both cars to the extent Of
$100 each.
The men were brought into town by
deputy sheriffs and lodged in jail over
night and Wednesday morning three
of them were fined SIS by Justice

driver of the car was held for the
damage to the tourist car. Although
the occupants of both the cars were
bruised and shaken up no one was
badly hurt. In the tourist car which
was from Iowa was a family of four.
Had either Of the cars been going
at a high rate of speed at the time of
the crash someone would probably
have been killed as the cars crashed
