Race Tire Displayed
in COpelin Window

One of the Firestone full size gum
dipped balloon tires that helped make
racing history in the 5O0-mile Indian
apolis race on Decoration Day is on
display in the local Firestone dealers

where it is creating unusual interest
among motorists. This particular
tire was used by Anthony Gulotta on
his Duesenberg.
Mr.. Copelin, the local Firestone
dealer, in commenting on the remark
able showing Of all the cars in the
10th annual motor classic at Indian
apolis, said:
This is the third year that gum
dipped balloon tires were used in this
famous speedway event, the first
time being at Indianapolis two years
ago when De Paolo made a new
worlds record at an average speed
OF 1Ol.l miles per hour. Last year,
dipped balloons enabled Frank
Lockhart to win with the new 81.
inch motor at an average speed of
1888 miles per hour for distance
of 4O2 miles when the race was called
on account of rain. Not only the
winners in the 1925 and 1926, but
all the drivers who participated lin

1T is noteworthy fact that
Flrestone gum dipped tires were used
by the winners for the eighth con-

High Position Is
Being Maintained
BY Willys-Knight

Showing performance superior to
any other motor car in its price
class or near it., the 40" WHY'S
Knight continues to hold its position
Of leadership, according to Il state
ment of Willys-Overland officials.
They declare that the acceptance Of
this car by the motoring public is a
recognition of its merits and cite
the influx of orders from WHY'S
Overland dealers to support their
claim.
With a type Of design that en-
braces the best engineering ideas of
two continents, the 40" WHY'S
knight has reached point Of popu-
larity never before attained by a
car in its classification in its second
year OF production. The manufae
turers claim that this strong posi-
ton has been reached in short
space of time because of the out
standing success of the 40" from
the time it was first introduced, less
than u months ago. Since that time
thousands of the 40" models have
been placed in the hands of pur-
chasers and the performance, relia,
bility, economy and serviceability Of
these cars has become widespread
knowledge with the resultant demand
from all sections Of the nation.
With the advent of warm weather
the sales of the 40" Willys-Knight
have shown a renewed vigOr in all
sections of the nation. indicating that
this model of the Knight engined
product is maintaining its wide ac-
quaintance with the motor car
buyers.
Production of the 40" WHY'S
knight at the Toledo factory has
been held at the peak mark for
months, this fact alone attesting the
unusual demand from dealers and
car buyers of the country.
Hundreds of motorists planning
cross-country trips during the vaca-
ton period are showing Il decided
preference for the TO- declaring
that the reliability. serviceability
economy and easy riding qualities Of
this model make it the logical car
in its price class for such journeys.

featured high class motor car bear
ing his name, chose his new car from
among the four Chrysler models His
selection was one Of the new I'M
perial 80" fOur-passenger cOupes, a
luxurious personal car.
Comparing the new Chrysler with
the thin-wheeled, buggy vehicles
Of % years ago, one would think
there was century's difference be-

progress of the automobile world.
Mr.. Winton, who even to this day
occasionally sends an application for

tributed greatly to that rapid devel-
opment.
Yes, indeed, we are proud that
Mr.. Winton chose one of our Imperial
sos for his personal use," said Mr..
Wright. II know of no finer compli-
ment that could have been paid the
car than that it should have been
chosen by a man who built the first
automobile sold and for years manu-
featured fine car that bore his own
name.
Mr.. Winton, you might say, spent

ON MOTOR ROW

Hudson could manufacture, notwith-
standing the largest schedule Of cars
in it's history was steadily main
tanned.
Most companies would have been
more than content with such remark
able business, but the Hudson Essex
organization decided both to improve
the Essex still further and to enlarge
the production facilities. To accom-
plish this Essex production was sus-
pended while there were actually
thousands Of buyers waiting for cars.
This drastic action gave full right-of-
way to the improved cars, which are
now being shipped at the highest
rate by far in Hudson history.
Motor Is Larger
The improvements in the new
Essex affect both it's performing abil-
lty and its appearance. The motor
is improved in detail and is enlarged
IN displacement by about 10 per cent.
This is accomplished by adding one
quarter inch to the stroke, the new
dimensions being 2 ll-lG by AZ
inches. The crankshaft is larger and
heavier, the connecting rods re- de-
signed, and the bearings enlarged to
care for the additional power loads.
Experimental runs in the new
Essex have shown it capable both Of
higher speed and Of improved per-
Torrance throughout its entire range.
Maximum speed is now well above a
mile -a-minute, while the company
continues it's assurances that the car
may be safely driven at so miles an
hour all day long. Even at it's best
performance, the motor operates
smoothly and without apparent ef-
fort. The Essex motor retains it's
essential high grade items: Alumi-
mum pistons, all connecting rods bal
anced. crankshaft built under Hud-
son super-six principles, roller tap
pets, front end drive by silent chain,
highly developed splash fabrication,
etc.

FORGOT GOLF
SEVEN YEARS:
MAY GET TITLE
George Weight T0uted as
Likely Contender in Ma
tiOnaI Amateur

Washington, July s. (NEA) -
George Voight, who forgot golf for
seven years because he couldn't stand
the financial pressure Of the game,
may give the nations capital its
second big title of the year in that
pastime.
Tommy Armour, who is pro at the
Congressional club, handed this city
its first big title when he won the
national open at Oakm0nt, and
Weight is likely to be just rs gener-
Gus to his old home town, by cop
ping the national amateur meet in
August.
He was caddy before the World
War. but he had to quit caddying
and forget all about golf in 1914 to
earn a livelihood in a government Of
flee here. He wanted to play golf,
but how could he? He couldn't af-
ford the green fees at a private club
and municipal courses were unheard
of at that time.
Plays First in '22 He
George played his first game in
1922 when the municipal links opened
at East Potomac. He played nine
holes every afternoon after work,
and ne played many, many holes on
Sundays.
The result was that he was soon
shooting par golf and those par fig
ures won for him the District NUM-
cipal Links championship for two
years.
Weight hasn't lost an amateur meet
this season. He has cleaned up ev-
erything, even capturing low medal
honors in all but one of the eight
meets he won.
IL Consistent
That indicates one thing, some-
thing that Bobby Jones is famous
for, and that is consistency in play.
But there's another thing that makes
him more menace to Bobby Jones,
George Won Elm, Watts Gum, Roll
and Mackenzie and others in August,
and that is love for match play.
Voight is in his glory in match
play. He developed, you know, from
the crop of public link golfers who
learn under difficulties, and it is be-
cause Of this greatness in match play
that Washington golfers are banking
on Voight giving the nations capital
its second big title this year.

PAIR HOPES TO
FIND ORIGIN OF
OCEAN STORMS
Would Remove Hazard of I'm
certain Weather From
Ocean Flying

Ann Arbor. Mich, July 8.-tF0--
Amid the darkness Of an Arctic win
ter. two scientists plan vigil on the
steppes Of Greenland which may
smooth the way to safe transatlantic
aviation.
They seek to trace the origin of
storms which sweep down from the
north across the air lanes Of the
north Atlantic, and to make possible
the fOrecasting of scientific storm
warnings which will remove the haz-
ard OF uncertain weather from ocean
flying.
Ii they succeed airmen will no
longer have to embark blindly over
the ocean into the teeth of storms
like those which swallowed up the
planes Of Hawker and Nungcsser and
coated with sleet the wings Of Lind
bergh's ship.
The problem. almost untouched by
meteOrology, of charting Arctic winds
will be undertaken in an anchored
hut on the edge Of Greenland's vast
ice cap by Professod j. f. Church, d.
rector of Mt. Rose observatory OF
Nevada, and p. c. Oscanyon, New
York radio operator.
Hobbs to Remain Behind
The real sponsor Of the expedition
and its theories, DR.. w. G.. Hobbs Of
the University of Michigan, will tar
nv in the milder climate Of the
Greenland shore, denied by his 63
years the physical endurance to make
his own observations.
DR.. Hobbs believes the perilous
storms of the north Atlantic orig
mate in the winds above the Green
land ice plateau. and that science
can determine these wind move
ments, forecast their movement into
the air lanes and send radio warn
ings which will make transoceanic
aviation lines safe and practicable
within five years. So
The experimental hut by the ice
cap must protect Church and Oscan-
yOn from temperatures of 60 degrees
below zero. 1t will be insulated from
the cold" with balsam wool, water
proof canvas and two walls Of turf
and anchored by cables against the
fierce winds.
When summer comes to the Arctic,
DR.. Hobbs and other members Of the
expedition will join the pair to con-
ciude the experiments. Their com
pletion, DIR. Hobbs is convinced, will
remove the greatest remaining ele-
ment Of risk from America to- Europe

(Coconino Sun Of July A, 1885,
Jeff and Lee Newman arrived in
Flagstaff Thursday night and related
the particulars of an experience they
had one day this week which rather
lays over anything of the kind we
have heard this season. While out
hunting some lost horses near Mrs.
Frier's ranch, about fifteen miles
southwest Of Flagstaff, they suddenly
came upon monster female bear
with two well-grown cubs. She being
an unusually large specimen of her
tribe, at once gave evidence of COM
bative nature, and rising majestically
upon her hind parts with outstretched
arms, gave very much of "come-in-
to-camp' appearance. Unfortunately,
all that the boys We're possessed Of in
the way of firearms was a sixshooter,
with which to tackle a bear would
seem a very foolish and precarious
undertaking, and which certainly
would have been under other circum-
stances, but the boys being well
mounted upon good horses, had much
the advantage Of her majesty. So
Jeff sailed in, the chambers of his
six-shooter being emptied in rapid sue
cession. all of which took effect, but
not sufficient to oyerpower the ami
NAL. Reloading, he again resumed
the firing, but not until eleven Of the
leaden missiles had penetrated her
body was she willing to give up the
ghost The boys say she gave most
desperate fight, at times chasing
them for many rods and keeping close
on the horses heels. The cubs es-
capped, but the boys We're quite well
satisfied in securing the scalp Of the
old one which they received a bounty
on.

She also stated that it was para

Oh, the steer, the beautiful steer,
Kicking the fleas from the point of
its ear,
Flapping its tail in its frolicsome glee,
Hopping about like Snake River flea.
Believing, roaring, laundering along!
Filling the air with its steerical song,
Till the rumble from it's lung-laden
pits
Scares timid jack-rabbits and wolves
into fits.
To me there is nothing on earth half
so dear
AS the long-horned, slim-bodied Flag
staff steer.
How often I wish that I was a steer
With long shiny horn at the butt of
each ear,
With clear fearless eye, and taper
ing tail
That would snap Ike whip in the
maddening gale.
How I'd beller! and roar! and paw up

And lope over the hills with thun-
dering sound,
And snort like terror, and hump up
my back

And I'd laugh at his oaths as he fell

fell,
Fell from my pony with ear piercing
yelll
Fell with the lariat fast to my wrist!
Fell to be dragged through the grass
wet with mist.

And ruined a pair of Accent hose;

turned out by lumber mills. The prices
for building lumber here range from
SO per thousand for common, to S45
per thousand for first quality, clear
and thick, and specially wide. A
branch line from the A. & p. road
runs into the millyard and buildings,
where the cars are loaded for ship
ment.
The office of the company is con-
nected with three different points by
telephone lines, one to the town of
Flagstaff, one to branch mill at
Rogers Lake, nine miles distant, and
the third to the spar at Prentice Vale,
a shipping point on the A. a. P. road,
about five miles distant These faci-
lities bring the principal points of
outside work and the town of Flag
staff in immediate communication
with the office.
The office force consists of d. NJ.
Riordan, superintendent; 7. A. Rior-
dan, assistant superintendent; the
bookkeeper and the storekeeper.
To Major d. NJ. Riordan's untiring
energy and shrewd business ability
is due in a large measure the success
of one of the most prosperous indus
tries in northern Arizona A business
that has been Of incalculable benefit
to the town of Flagstaff and to Yava-
pal county generally.
Railroads
The Atlantic and Pacific railroad
reached the town Of Flagstaff in 1882.
It runs from Albuquerque, n. NJ, to
Mojave, Calf, forming part of the
Southern Transcontinental, known as
the Sunset route.
Operations are just commencing to
build the Mineral Belt railroad, which
will run, when completed, in south
erly direction from Flagstaff to the
Southern Pacific line. The first rs
miles is in heavy pine forest, being
the largest and most valuable body
Of pine timber on the southwestern
Pacific slope; estimated to contain

and plentiful supply of good feed will
in the future make it a fine horse
breeding country. There are probably
now 1000 horses in the neighborhood
of Flagstaff. The principal breeders
are the Arizona Cattle company, the
Mormondairy settlers, Jim Allen,
Brannen Finney & Brannen, Mehrens
& Sherman, Acker & Walker, Philip
Hull and several others.
Aver Lumber Company
The Aver Lumber company is the
most important commercial enterprise
on the whole line of the A & p rail-
road. 1t is located about three
quarters of a mile southwest Of the
town, and is appropriately called the
Mill Town, for it is a town of itself,
providing, as it does work for over
200 men and .homes for themselves
and families, when they have any.
The mill is fully equipped with
machinery to manufacture anything
needed in woodwork for building pur-
poses that can be made out of the
lumber growing in this region. Dur
ing the past year over 100000 feet
of lumber have been cut. The company
employs over zoo men, and has II
buildings erected, which includes
the large mill building, a fine office
and store, where articles of all kinds
needed by the men are kept, a mess
house, the superintendent residence
and houses with sleeping accommoda-
tions for the employees. The machin-
cry in the large mill is driven by
massive engine of 120 horsepower,
and besides this there are two smaller
engines Of 40 horsepower each. In
the main building is found machinery
for saving the rough logs as they
are brought in from the forests, plan
ing machines, machines for cutting

making laths, shingles, pickets and

party were engaged in making an
army road from the old pueblo of AL
buquerque to San Bernardino, that an
incident occurred which gave rise to
the name of Flagstaff. The surveying
party was encamped at the eastern
end of the present town and they cut
the branches from one of the tall pine
trees and hoisted on it an American
flag. When the A. & P. railroad was
surveyed and the first settlers located
at Old Town they decided to name
the place Flagstaff, after this land
mark that the Beale surveying party
had made.
The Old Town
1t was not until late in 1880 that
the vanguard of workmen in building
the Atlantic and Pacific railroad made
their appearance here. Then Old Town
commenced building. This point was
doubtless selected on account of the
fine spring of water there, and at
that time it was not known where the
depot would be located The town
rapidly grew and it was soon a lively
place P j. Brannen was the first
to open place Of business there as
a general merchant, which he did in
a tent, as a branch of the house of
P. B. Brannen & Co. of Prescott.
Others soon followed, until there
was quite number of business men
in the place. In the meantime, the
railway had been completed as far as
this place and the depot located as it
at present stands, about half mile
east of Old Town. P. j. Brannen now
moved down opposite the depot and
built a store at a cost of $4,000, and
this was the commencement of the
New Town, or the present town of
Flagstaff. The next house was built
by Mr.. Hickerson and was afterward
occupied by James Vail & Co.
In July, 1891, the old town was
