AMT LOVE WONDERFUL
SAYS JIM ANDERSON

Quin Anderson, the genial rotund
travelling man of Phoenix, who was
one of the first to peddle through the
state with an auto, came very near
winding up his itinerary last Thurs
day on his way into Flagstaff. Com
ing up the hill and around a curve
just west Of Riordan he met young
fellow with one arm around his lovey
dovey and fifty-mile foot on the gas,
utterly oblivious to all the rest of the
world. At least he would have met the
young fellows car had not he swerved
his car to the extreme edge of the
grade. His car slid over the grade a
ways and narrowly missed rolling
down the embankment.
Quin advises that he, like all the
rest of the world, loves lover, but is
sincere also in his belief that it is
rather rushing things when lover is
hitting a fifty-mile clip around short
curve, going down hill with an armful
of precious" and only one careless
hand on the wheel. The incident did
not disturb the lovers in the least.
They never hesitated second in their
headlong rush or turned to see where
Quin and his automobile went to. All
of which made sQuin exclaim, "Ain't
love wonderful 2"

research work, which is especially
needed in forestry, since the science
of forest reproduction is comparative

Buried Body PrOUes
To Be Of YdLLer Dog

This proves everything is not what
it seems to be.
One day last week Mexican re-
ported to the sheriff the finding OF
a body and offered to take officers
there. Deputy Sheriff Art Vande-
vier, County Physician Dr. Felix Man
ming and one or two others went
with the man to his home near the
Cady Lumber corporations mill. Near
the mans home, beside River de Flag
they were shown an open hole in the
bottom of which appeared what
looked like a human corpse wrapped
in a blanket. Deputy Sheriff Vande-
vier after a little excavation jerked
one edge of the covering clear of the
body and exposed dead dog. 1t
was deemed Unnecessary to call cor
oner's jury.
The Mexican said he noticed the
grave when he arose in the morn
ing, it being plainly visible from his
home. The grave, he said, had a
bouquet of flowers on it and head
and footstone. After digging down
some four feet to find out what the
grave contained he came to the blan-

PEOPLE HERE MUST AGREE

WILL BUILD CANYON ROAD
SEN. HAYDEN TOLD c. OF c.

That the United States government
will not build an approach road to
Grand Canyon until the people of this
county agree on its location, was the
statement of U. E. Senator-elect Carl
Hayden at Mondays semi-monthly
Chamber of Commerce luncheon meet
ing at Hotel Monte Vista.
The people of the county also must
furnish the government with an ex-
cuse for building the approach road
meaning the REIMBURSEMENT by the
county to title of Bright Angel trail
into the canyon-to forestall an i'm
mediate clamor from the people sur
rounding the various other national
parks for similar approach road ap-
preparations.
John @. Thomas, city superintendent
of schools, chairman Of the speakers
bureau of the chamber, was chairman
for the day and deserves entire credit

CITY WAS DRY SATURDAY
WATER MAIN WENT BUST

Bursting of the 12-inch water feed
line from the city reservoirs last Sat
urday morning at o'clock caused a
water shortage in Flagstaff of near
ly "a hours and some inconvenience.
Neither of the lumber mills was
forced to shut down, the A. L. & T.
company having a reserve of 10000
gallons for just such emergencies and
the Flagstaff Lumber company only
recently having installed two 10000
gallon tanks. Hotel Monte Vista
keeps a supply Of $4,000 gallons in
reserve but this gave out about three
in the afternoon.
The break occurred on the outskirts
of the city alongside the Fort Valley
road and was discovered by Hayes
Weidner of the water department
when he was returning from the res
ervoirs. He notified City Engineer
Frank Goodman who in turn warned
business places that supply should
be drawn.
No definite cause of the break
could be given by Mr.. Goodman. When
the cast iron pipe was exposed 1t
was found to have large crack IN
the bottom and to be broken nearly
in half. Difficulty was encountered
in getting out the broken section OF
pipe and laying the new joints. The
men had to work in sticky 'dobe. The
broken length weighed 400 pounds
and to get it out of its bed four feet
below ground it had to be cut in two
The actual work of installing the new
section. started at seven Saturday eve
ming and the water was turned or
again at three Sunday morning.
Two were hurt in repairing the
break. Lee Allsup suffered a badly
bruised shoulder when the tanks anc
carriage of welding outfit slid from
the rear end of truck and STRUCK
him on the shoulder . Arthur Ken
nedy had narrow escape when pour.
ing molten lead into joint. Steam
generated by the hot metal and wa
ter in the pipe caused an explosion
throwing molten lead into Kennedy:
face and hands and into one of hi
boots.
Many drove to the break tx
learn what it was all about. Every
one took it cheerfully.
| 1t was thought Saturday Afternoon
that the city would be in darkness:
due to lack Of water for the boilers
at the city's light plant. The plant
however, is equipped to pump water
from the mains instead of relying OF
i pressure and had fair supply. Th'
light plant lies at one of the loves
points in the city and the water
flowed where it was available for th'
pumps.
Kinda tough, with hundred mil
lion gallons in storage not to have
drink, but it likely won't happel
again in decade.

The plans call for two store spaces on

Getting Ready To Start
For Two Snake Dances

Many are arriving in Flagstaff
ready to take off the last of this week
for the two Hopi Indian snake dances,
the one at Mishongnovi on Sunday and
the other at Walpi on Tuesday. Ap-
parently, while the larger number OF
outside people will go to Walpi, at
least half of the Flagstaff people will
take in the Mishongnovi dance, more
convenient because it comes in the
weekend. Sometimes the latter is the
larger dance, though the setting is not
as picturesque as at Walpi.
