AYERS INDIAN LIBRARY
LARGEST IN WORLD DEAN
LOCKWOOD TOLD HIRAMS
CONTINUED from page u

Dean Lockwood spent many hours
last winter with Mr.. Aver in Pasa-
dena. He said Aver had thousands of
photographs and crayon sketches of
individual Indians. Aver spent fifty
to sixty thousand dollars year on
his library. In addition to this, and
the value of his library to ethnologists
and scientists generally, it was Aver
who was responsible for founding the
Field museum in Chicago, the most
notable in the world
Aver took his five Prescott volumes
the five he bought in the Chicago
bookstore--to the most capable book
binder in Europe. He ordered that
the best men be put to work binding
them, in the choicest morocco that
could be obtained, and that the sool-
ing be as artistic as it could be made.
The binder wanted to know what in
the world was the use Of putting thou
sands of dollars into binding cheap
books of that sort, that could be
bought anywhere for few dollars.
Aver told him what Prescott's works
had meant in his life. Now, would
you blame me if spent fifty thousand
dollars having those books bound Z" he
asked. mo, not il you spent a hun
dred thousand" was the reply.
Dean Lockwood SAID the five vol
umes not only are eXquisitely bound,
but they also are beautifully cased.
Mrs. Aver was the first white wom-
an to descend into Grand Canyon,
Dean Lockwood said.
The first fire company here, the Ed
Aver hose company, wore uniforms
given by Mr. Aver. One of Mr.. Ayers
Chicago friends wired ahead when he
and Mr.. Aver were coming through
here by train to have the hose COM
pany meet the train in uniform "and
squirt" He signed Mr.. Ayers name
to the telegram The latter was as
tonished and considerably embarrassed
upon arrival here to find the fire
company at the station to receive them
and squirt as directed.
The speaker described the Hunting
ton library in Pasadena, the owner of
which also died recently. This is the
largest private library in the world, is
valued at $10,000,000, was richly en-
dowed in perpetuity by its founder
and is visited in throngs by students,
scientists and savants from all over
the world. Pasadena, he said, is the
center of culture of the United States
because of this library, a standing
contributed to in no small measure by
the Huntington library.
Dr. Vaughn S. Mcclure, president
Of The club, called the meeting to or
der, turning the gavel over to Adolph
Boenitsch, who had arranged the in
teresting program. Mrs. Margaret
Howard Fay played two much-enjoyed
piano selections.

Our history would be much less in
spring, our list of great presidents
and great statesmen much smaller but
for the lawyers, many of whom have
been selected to serve their country in
the highest positions of responsible
ity and trust.
There is no greater field for use
full work, no greater field for service
than in the legal profession. His Of
flee is almost confessional. His OPP
portunity to solve troubles, allay
heart-breaks and misery are manifold.
Many, many times he saves children
from becoming divorce orphans. Oft
en- he saves innocent people from
punishment and disgrace.
DR.. Harold "A. Cotton Of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania faculty and
Flagstaff, spoke on the possibilities
Of attracting wealthy easterners here.
The chief of survey for the Santa
Fe railroad wrote in 1867 that the
most attractive spot on the route was
at the foot of Mount Agassiz, men
tioning the climate, the forests, the
great natural wonders, including
Grand Canyon.
DR.. Cotton spoke of the great. pop
ularity with rich fasteners of the
Sheridan and Jackson Hole sections in
Wyoming. There are many flourish
ing dude ranches there. In one in
which he lunched, the guests paid S11
a day each, got their water from a
well and took their baths in tin
tub. Wyoming has nothing geograph-
ically or climatically on US, he said.
We should provide like accommo
dations where they could rough it IN
comfort" We need accommodations
not in but not far from the city, ne
said. We also need to build up wild
animal life, in game protection areas.
Another contributing factor to
growth, he said, would be the founda-
tion of a local museum for archaeo-
logical and geological specimens OF
which there are so many available
here. In that way, he said, we could
make this mecca for the study of
these things.
Secretary Tom Mccullough gave an
interesting tabloid history Of Rotary.
There are 10000 Rotarians, in 1900
clubs and AZ countries.
Hoddy Jackson of Chula Vista,
Calf, in a short, snappy talk, said
that in 1890 Los Angeles had $4,000
people and that the fellow who pro-
phesied there would ultimately be a
hundred thousand was visionary
fool. It is up to Flagstaff to tell the
world what it has in the way of natu
raj wonders, he said. Within a radius
of 125 miles we have all in the world
the easterner could want to or ought
to see.

not receive a scratch, but all received
bruises and scratches, Mrs. Wallen-
burg the worst.
The accident happened just about
sundown and as there were no pass
ing cars the ladies started toward
Flagstaff afoot, taking turns carry
ing the baby. Tt had grown much
darker and they had gone close to
two miles when they were overtaken
by two Indians driving a truck. Their
rescuers righted the car which was
badly wrecked, and towed it as far as
Jacks store where Mr.. Ruggles, in
search, met them Mr.. Hall and Mr..
Wallenburg were both out Of town.
Mr.. Ruggles is on government work
for the department of agriculture,
with headquarters for the SUMMER at
Hotel Monte Vista where Mr.. and
Mrs. Wallenburg are also staying.

LUMBERMEN OF STATE HAD
PROFITABLE AND PLEASANT
THREE DAY MEETING HERE
CONTINUED from page y


Several saving teams were selected
by Pat Murphy, woods boss, and what
was considered by old-time timbermen
to be a record resulted when one Of
these teams completed the actual saw
ing of log rs inches in diameter in
48 seconds. The second best record
was one minute and 18 seconds.
Later the party returned to Flag
staff and saw the operation in the A.
L. & T. mill.
One Of the special features Friday
was the dinner dance at Hotel Monte
Vista. T. B. Koch, vice-president and
general manager of the AL. & Z. Co.
and mayor of Flagstaff, presided at
this delightfully."- informal affair. Miss
Selma Aas sang, and was encored.
Miss Catherine Beckwith gave cos
tune Spanish solo dance and also was
encored. Jack Halloran of Phoenix
recited "Christopho Colombo" and for
encore eloquently thanked the north
ern Arizona lumbermen in general and
Mr.. Koch in particular for the won-
derful hospitality shown the visitors.
The second days meetings were in
Community hall, Grand Canyon. Pres
ident Emil Marks of Lowell, Arizona,
presided. In an able talk, he reviewed
the work done by the association dur
ing the current year and graphically
told of the progress of cooperation
between the retailers and wholesalers
of the state.
One of the most brilliant addresses
was by Arthur A. Hood, of Ell Paso,
assistant to the president Of the Cady
Lumber corporation Mr.. Hood has
talked before 81 lumbermen's conven-
tions during the past year and enjoys
a wide. acquaintance among whole
salers, retailers and manufacturers.
He was nationally recognized last
year by being elected Shark of the
Universe Of the "Hoo-Hoo" club, i'm
ternational lumbermen's organization
Mr.. Hood held his listeners atten-
tion for fully 30 minutes while he
vert into minute detail regarding
"What Price Profits .s -
III concluding, Mr.. Hood called at
tention to some of the misinformation
being disseminated by outside influ-
ences regarding the lumber industry.
He told the members to educate the
citizens OF their community that the
lumber man as the harvester Of the
timber crop is playing a part second
only to the farmer in the upbuilding
and life of the community.
E. ". Tennat, secretary Of the Los
Angeles Retail Lunlbernen's associa-
tiorI. gave the delegates a highly in
teresting and instructive talk on Cor
ganization.

FISCAL EXPERTS
ON TRIP TO JAPAN
Lamont of Morgan & Co. Be-
Iieved Invited to Survey
Island Situation.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Thomas w. Lamont of J. p. Morgan
& Co. Is en- route to japan to consult
with Japanese financiers on subjects
connected with the economic situation
In their country. Of no less signifi'
canoe than Mr.. Lamont's own trip Is
the fact that he is accompanied by
jeremiah Smith. jr., Of Boston, who
made an international reputation In
1925 and 1925 as the reconStructor of
the finances of Hungary. Mr.. Smith
functioned at Budapest as the COM
missioner of the League of Nations.
A third member Of the Lamont party
is Martin Egan, former newspaper
man, and now attached to the execu'
tive staff of the Morgan banking
house in New York.
The Lamont-Smith mission is shroud-
ed in some mystery. When he sailed
for the Far East on September II, Mr..
Lamont conveyed the impression that
he and his friends are going to Japan
merely at the invitation of financial
colleagues there. He added that busi-
ness has nothing to do with the trip
and that he expects social activities to
take up all of the party's time in
Toxic.
Important Mission Seen.
Despite Mr.. Lamont's disclaimer, the
view persists in Washington that he
and Mr.. Smith have, in fact, an i'm
portant mission in prospect. 1t is be-
lieved that they have been invited to
survey the whole Japanese economic
situation and propose ways and means
of recognizing it. The present finan'
cial status in no way involves the
Japanese governments finances. Their
soundness remains unchanged. The

great interest, for they would like to
know Just how the West feels" john

to talk about the big problems of the
party, and attention will be given to
all of them.

ventions will be one Of the most i'm

Washington, Oregon and Arizona.
He said that while New Mexico

First Potential Candidate.
L. E. Dillingham;, State Democratic
chairman of Idaho en- route here, pre-
iicted that Gov. Smith would receive
the full support Of at least 10 Western
States.
"The Smith sentiment" Dillingham;
said, has been found to be overwhelm-
ing in the Western States since the
first conference at Ogden last July"
He also predicted this conference
would result in permanent "Smith-
for President" organization in the
West.
The first potential candidate for the
presidential nomination to appear here
was L. II. Francisco OF San Diego,
Calf, who recently announced his can

budgets of Japan are conservatively
estimated, and large surplus Is the
rule rather than the exception.
1t is rather big business in Nip
pom which Is sick and in need Of eco
nomic doctors. Signs Of the present
crisis first appeared last March. when
several banks in TOXIC and vicinity
suspended payments. and runs were
made on others. The instant assist
ance rendered by the Bank of Japan,
the central bank of the country, and
by group of leading private banks
probably averted a general financial
panic at that time.
The immediate cause of the Difficult.
tie; was the delay in the passage OF
legislation to extend the Earthquake
bills" These bills were bank loans
that were made uncollectable by the
great earthquake in September, 1923.
Through an arrangement with the
Bank of Japan at that time the gov
ernment came to the relief or the
banks holding such paper by author
izing the Bank of Japan to redis-
count it.
Recent Big Failure.
In April of this year conditions were
aggravated by the failure of the great

the Bank of Taiwan. which suspend
ed. AS the Bank of Taiwan Is semi
government institution, it was at first
felt that the government might be in
clined to come to the rescue, as 1t had
in the past. The political controversy
which arose over the Suzuki crash
ended in a change in the government
and brought to power the Seiyukai
party, with Baron Tanaka at its head.
The extent of the crisis was shown
when the Tanaka cabinet declared q
moratorium of three weeks, extending
not only to Japan proper. but to all
other parts of the japanese Empire,
including Korea and the japanese
railway zone in south Manchuria.
Authorities attribute existing condt-
tions in Japan primarily to the conse-
uuences of the earthquake of 1928.
Postwar economic depression also
continues to make itself felt through
out the country's industrial and COM
mercial life. 1t has been estimated
that the earthquake destroyed one
eighth of Japan's national wealth.
Japan's industries suffered material
losses approximating $1,000, ,O00, 900.

TOURISTS ASSURED
GOOD WATER SUPPLY

Tourists travelling through Me-
vada via the Lincoln and Victory
highways are assured a good sup
ply of drinking water along the
road, according to S. c. Dinsmore
commissioner of pure food and
drugs for the state, who has just
completed the analysis Of sixty
samples.
Dinsmore's investigation was
made ON account of rumors that
such water was not fit for drink
ing purposes. Analysis showed
that about ten, all in very isolated
spots, of the sixty sources are
so highly mineralized, especially
with Glauber's salts and EPSON
salts, that use of them by persons
unaccustomed causes unpleasant
physiological disturbances. A bull
letin will be issued showing both
the fit and the unfit water sup
pies and will he distributed in
tourist agencies in California and
Utah.
The purest water ever to have
been examined in the state lab
oratory came from a source in the
Lehman caves region, DinSmore
says. This water contained only
SO parts in one million of mineral
matter, which is practically pure
water.
