N. A. A. ACTIVE
TO CLEAR GREAT
LANDING FIELD

Through the Douglas chapter OF
the National Aeronautical association
the plans for the clearing and leveling
OF the Arizona half OF the interna-
tional airport are going forward
rapidly Engineers we're taken to the
field yesterday by members OF the
association and after inspecting the
field carefully they estimated thaS
the cost of the clearing and leveline
would not amount to more than
$1,000.
This figure is considered as very
cheering as many had feared that the
cost of preparing the field for the
landing of big passenger planes would
be prohibitive. The fled is covered
with az greasewood growth which
may be cut and pulled out of the
ground easily and the plans cali for
a tractor ard grader or scme other
heavy, sharp edged tool which will
tear out or cut off all Of the growth.
This instrument will at the same
time fill up the ruts and washes that
have been made across the field by
rain water running down wheel
tracks. Leaders of the aeronautical
association gave definite assurance
yesterday that action toward the
actual clearing of the field will go
forward very soon.
It is the hope of the aeronautical
association that the work of clearing
the field will be we'll along before
the arrival here the last of this
week or the first of next Of j. l..
Maddux, of Maddux, Inc, in the new
IL passenger plane in which he is
flying from Detroit. Mr. Maddux
and his associate, Will N. Fox, in
letters to local aeronautical officials
some days ago, outlined their trip
which calls for stops with the big
plane at San Antonio, Houston and
E. Paso, Texas, and Douglas before
continuing on to the coast where
the plane will go into the regular
passenger carrying business of Mad
Cux, Inc.
That this visit will place the final
seal of approval on Douglas as q
port both for the regular passenger
lines of the Maddux or Ford inter-
ests and as an international airport
with great future potentialities, is
the belief of the members of the
aGronautical association here and it
is in order that Maddux and his
associates may more easily grasp the
possibilities that they hope to have
the work on the field well started.

MADDEN WARNS
AGAINST RAIDS
0 N TREASURY

WASHINGTON Oct. -, R-A
warning that any attempt to raid
the treasury" would meet with stone
wall opposition in the forthcoming
congress was issued today by the
Chairman Madden in announcing
that he had called the house appro-
priations committee to meet Nov
Is, to begin hearings on the batch of
annual supply bills.
This is a political year and iudg-
ing the future by the past" the
chairman declared "it is not improb-
able that some will attempt a raid
on the treasury We wish to have
those who would like to conduct
a raid to know that we are still on
guard"
Mr.. Madden said he believed a
$300,0O0,00O tax reduction bill could
be enacted but that he thought the
first work of the session should be
passage of a deficiency measure to
care for items carried in the defi-
cheney and post office buildings bln
that failed in the closing days Of the
last congress.
"If the tax bill is ready before
Christmas, we could even precede it
with the deficiency measure" he said.
There will be good many changes
in the bill due to the passage of. time
and some new items will be brought
forward for consideration as urgent
deficiencies, In any event 1 think it
important to expedite the bill"

miles east of New York, blinking its
nights IN greeting and disappearing
into the moonlit skies
After that the plane flew on unless
some unknown disaster overlook it
through Ne night and the following
day without being seen by any of the
many ships that dotted the steamer
lane. This fact caused considerable
concern as the American Banker said
that the plane was flying at an alti-
tude of but 1000 feet and it was felt
that at that height it should have
SKINNED into the vision of several
other ships, at least during the daylight
hours.
During the day the Mauretania re-
ported from 300 miles at sea and the
Celtic from mid-ocean that nothing
had been seen of the American Girl,
although a close watch had been kept
At its normal speed the plane would
have passed the Mauretania's position
at about o'clock in the morning and
that of the Celtic about g.
The American Banker, the Maure-
tania and the Celtic all reported ideal
flying weather, good visibility and
favoring winds, but the fliers were due
to run into foul weather shortly after
dark tonight. Although the weather
bureaus Atlantic service had been sus-
pended for the season today, DR.. James
H. Kimball predicted from yesterdays
shipping reports that storm area of
700 miles in wirth would be encount-
cred tonight.
Ror rriY
Haldeman expected to land at Paris
about O'Clock Thursday morning,
eastern standard time, which would be
Thursday noon, French time.
Two more ships in the projected
path of the plane reported to the As
Sociated Press shortly before 4 o'clock
today that they had not seen the
American Girl. The ships were the
Cameronia, about 1900 miles northeast
of New York, and the Ryndam, whose
estimated position was. about 600 miles
from here.
Allowing the plane consistent speed
of 100 miles an hour, it should have
passed the point from which the
Ryndam sent its message shortly after
IL o'clock last night, eastern standard
time. The point from which the
Cameronia reported should have been
passed at about o'clock this morn
ing.
Stormy weather with a rough sea
was reported by the Cameronia but
the Ryndam, nearer port, reported
fair weather. The American Girl, if
it maintained it's speed, should have
been nearing a low pressure area with
storms ahead about 23O0 miles at sea
at the time the ships reported.

PATHE- -DEMILLE OUTFITTING HERE
FOR EXPEDITION THROUGH GREAT
GORGE TO FILM SUPER-PICTURE
Two Fastest Army Radio Experts Will
Send Daily Story Of Trip Over
Special Transmitters

With a scientific and other equip
ment far exceeding that Of any other
Colorado river expedition, the one
now outfitting in Flagstaff has won
derful appeal to the 2 'tention Of the
world at large, and especially to sci
entific, the radio and the moving pic
ture folk.
A special car was sent here this

JOHN 10y, PIONEER
OF THIS SECTION, WAS
BURIED HERE TUESDAY

John 10y, prominent Munds Park
rancher and cattleman, died Saturday
at the home of his sister, Mrs. Henry
Wingfield at Camp Verde. Old time
friends here for the past months heard
unfavorable reports of his condition
and his death was not unexpected.
Since the death of his wife in Feb
ruary not two years ago, Mr.. Loy's s
health had failed. He missed her
poignantly and minor physical trou-
bIes soon became insistent and under
mined his health until he left his
home at Munds Park last fall and
went to live with his sister at Camp
Verde.
Funeral services were held Tuesday
afternoon at / o'clock at Masonic
cemetery, under auspices of the Ma

Der. Walter Runke officiated as wor-
shipful master at the Masonic rites at
the grave. Old friends who acted as
pallbearers were: F. M. Gold, Harry
Richwine, J. R. Cooper, Dan Hogan,
w. B. Thompson and George Hoch-
derffer.
John 10y was born in October,
1853, in Missouri, one of family of
three boys and two sisters. With
their parents they emigrated in 1874
to Prescott where they stayed but a
short time. They then took up land
in the Verde Valley where the family
for many years has been prominent.
Forty years ago or more John 10y
and his brother-in-law James Munds
homesteaded the broad acres of Munds
Park where they farmed and went
into the cattle business. Their home
was always noted for its hospitality
and sociability, and guests were many,
as it was logical resting place be-
tween here and the rim.
Eighteen years ago, April 3, 1909,
Mr.. Low married Miss Bertie Tool, a
school teacher who lived at the j. O.
Hurst home in Oak Creek. Mrs. 10y
carried on the tradition of hospitality
at the Munds Park ranch, where they
made their home every summer, IN
winter occupying their Flagstaff
home. This is the first summer since
Mr.. Loy homesteaded there that he
failed to spend on his ranch. He came
up as usual in the spring to spend the
summer but the altitude affected his

John 10y served two year term on
the county board of supervisors as
representative from the second dis
trict. He was identified with the pol
lev of good roads and credit is due
him for the fine grade on Sedona hill.
He was quiet man, thoroughly
respected for his honesty and SINGER
ity, qualities augmented by his pio-
neer life here in the early days.
He is survived by brother, Will
liam Loy of Cornville, two sisters,
Mrs. Henry Wingfield Of Camp Verde,
with whom he made his home after
the death of his wife, and Mrs. Mary
Brown Of Phoenix; four nieces, Mrs.
M. J. Lewis of Flagstaff and Phoenix,
Mrs. o. A. Benedict and Mrs. Dave
Wingfield of Camp Verde, and Mrs.
Joe 10y of Cornville; and three
nephews, Linsey 10y, who lived on the
Munds Park ranch and farmed it this
summer and Myron and Edward 10y,
all of Cornville.
