was none in the great new empire
Of the north. But historians hold
today that his was the greatest land
expedition ever undertaken in the
annals Of the New World.
From Compostela, Mexico, Coro-
nado rode forth on February %, 1910,
to capture Cibola. On the basis
Of reports from Fray Marcos de
Mia, who had seen 1t a year earlier,
the Seven Cities were filled with
treasure. Nearly a thousand men,
most Of them the flower of Spanish
nobility in Mexico, made up the
grand army.
Across the arid stretches OF North
ern Mexico, Eastern Arizona ard
into New Mexico the conquistadores
trekked, only to find that their
goal was nothing more than q clus-
ter Of Zuni Indian villages. Their
disappointment was great, but they
decided to push on.
Quivira, a mythical kingdom to
the east, became a new goal. Here
the Spaniards hoped to find the
inhabitants eating from vessels of
gold and silver. The search took
them from New Mexico out onto
the plains of Texas, Oklahoma, and
eventually into Kansas.
But like Cibola, .Quivira proved
to be a flgment of Indian imagina-
ton.

New Mexico Tourists
10 Find Spotlight on
Coronado Pageant
Cuurto Centennial
Theme Of Stute's
Summer Celebrations

SANTA FE, N. NJ, April 20.-New
Mexico land Of siesta and fiesta,
rolls back the pages Of history 40G
years during 1910 to present the
Coronado Cuarto Centennial as a
year-long tribute to the mighty
Spanish conquistador, Francisco
Vasquez Coronado.
Preliminary festivities in the form
OF folk festivals, which play an in
tegral part in this commemoration
OF four centuries of romantic and
colorful history in the Land of En-
chantment, have been under way
since early March, and casting for
major presentations is scheduled
for this month.
While the centennial will be de-
lightfully informal in nature, several
ostentatious fetes are scheduled.
Among the most imposing of these
is the Coronado Entrada, a great
pageant.
The entrada, employing cast Of
some 500 persons and utilizing the
majesty of New Mexicos natural
background, will depict important
events in the explorations of Coro-
nado, the period of Spanish occupa-
ton, and the robust days of New
Mexico as an American territory.
Pageant Opens May 20.
The pageant opens in Albuquerque
on May 20 for a four day run, and
from New Mexico's largest city
shows throughout the state on a
schedule which includes most of the
major cities, closing October l1-l3
at Las Cruces, N. Mex.
In addition to the entrada, several
events Of special nature are PLAN
ned. Among these are a frontier
celebration at Ruidoso, one of New
Mexico's premier summer resort
towns; "A Day in Old Lincoln" at
Lincoln. N. Mex, where Billy the
Kid" blazed his exploits with a six
shooter during the Lincoln County
War, and at Ell Moro National
Monument, where the 18th century
Spanish explorers carved their
names and deeds in imperishable
sandstone.
Along with the Coronado year
presentations will travel New Mex
ico's many natural celebrations and
nestas, which are seen each year.
Rich in Scene.
In the background looms the
grandeur of New Mexicos scenic
wonders-great sweeping plains,
which roll up to meet towering
mountains, where the cool greenness
OF seven National Forests offer
camping, hunting, fishing and dude
ranching.
Such allurements as Carlsbad
Cayerns National Park, the worlds
greatest underground wonder:
White Sands National Monument,
30-mile stretch of dazzling white
desert, and the colorful Indian
country, where life goes on little
changed from Coronado's day-all
of these will give the visitor added
enjoyment during New Mexico's
centennial year.
But dominating the scene during
New Mexico's celebration will be
the figure of Coronado, who in the
10th century brought his legions
INTO what is today the great Ameri-
can Southwest in search of the
treasures contained within the IA
bied Seven Cities of Cibola.
Coronado's entrada went down
in history as failure: for gold there

1t was months ago that Americans

New Road 10 Link
6 National Parks for
2-Week Tourists
Permits Quick Service
From Glacier to 5
Cunudiun Areas

CHICAGO, April 20.-For the first
time, a vacation of two weeks or
more will permit this summer a
tour Of six national parks in the
spectacular Rocky Mountains on
both sides of the international
peace boundary"
BY the end of June, engineers and
road builders will have completed
the last gap in road linking Gla-
cier National Park, Montana: !:
Waterton Lakes Park, Banf Ma
tional Park, Kootenay Park, Yoho
Park and Jasper National Park-the
last five located in the Canadian
Rockies.
Linked Up for the First Time.
Portions-but only portions-of
this complete tour have been avail
able for several years. Many western
travellers last summer discovered the
satisfaction Of combining Glacier
Park in Montana and Waterton
Lakes Park (Which is just next door
on the Canadian side) with these
other famous Canadian resorts,
Banff and Lake Louise in Banfi
Park. To make this shortcut
tour between the Great Northern
Railway at Glacier Park and the
Canadian Pacific Railway at Banff
high-speed late model motor coach
service is maintained on daily sum-
mer schedules.
This summer regular motor coach
service will be extended all the way
north to Jasper on the Canadian
National Railway, over the new
Columbia Icefields Highway. The
last stretch. of 25 miles of modern
highway will be opened to traffic on
July 4, according to latest estimates
May Start From Glacier.
The new inter-mountain tours
can be started from Bolton, Mont.
the west side entrance to Glacier
Park new Lake Mcdonald HoteD
or Glacier Park Hotel at the east
side entrance. Overnight stops can be
arranged at Many Glacier Hotel
farther north in Glacier Park and
at the Prince Of Wales Hotel at
Waterton Lakes, in Canada. From
Waterton Lakes it is pleasant
days ride to Banff, from which
point visitors can be routed for a
trip to the Columbia Icefields, where
a new chalet has been constructed
or to Jasper Park.
1t Is also possible to tour south
from Jasper Park. or Banff, visiting
the Canadian parks first, and end
ing this mountain interlude in Gla-
cier Park on the United States side

Inch Of Rain Daily
Is Record For July

Rainfall has averaged better than one
inch per day for July according to ]. B.
Walton, who gives total Of 9.02 inches
for the nine days Of this month. The
heaviest rainfall during the period oc-
Cured on July 8 when 203 inches was
recorded. Intermittent showers have
been augmented by heavy rains each
day, most of them coming towards dusk
every evening. The extreme wet spell
of June, also added to the moisture OF
this month, has caused much damage to
crops and water-soaked plants in the
fields are beginning to show this dam
aging effect. On the eastern boundar-
les of the county, Big Black river has
gone out of bounds on both sides of the
river, and in many places have covered
the crops so deeply, that they are looked
on as practically complete loss. The
outlook is not at all favorable for crops
everywhere at the present is the re-
ports of many farmers.

County Council Makes
Conservation Plans

A regular meeting Of the County CO.
ordinating Council met Friday night in
the County Agents office to advise with
members Of the Soil Conservation Ser
vice, now located in the county, rela-
tive to plans for an educational prog
ram which they propose to put on in
the various communities of the county
before initiating an active works prog
ram of Soil Conservation. After sew
eral plans were discussed, a three meet
ing plan was agreed upon. Farmers
wishing to avail themselves of the Soil
Conservation Service on their farms
will be requested to attend one ex-
PLANTATION meeting and one soil tour
in their community in addition to a
crop rotation tour in the Southeastern
part Of the county. With the education
al background afforded by a procedure
Of this kind, it is believed that much
good would be derived by the individual
farmer from the conservation program.
The council elected new officers to
serve the next six months in keeping
with its constitution and bylaws.
Officers elected were:
I. w. Carson, Chairman; r. A. Luter,
Vice Chairman; Miss Ellen Scale, Sec
Treas. These officers succeed: Ed
