A sti i ii tncorixrmm W 07 312 DEPARTMENT STORES 300 W. Washington St. THE LARGEST CHAIN DEPARTMENT STORE ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD ' PROMINENT KANSAS CITY BANKER LOCAL H JONS TTTION Improvement Of The High way irom Phoenix lo Glendale Expected To Be Completed Before Com ing Autumn Pavinjr of Grand avenue will be nder way in another three weeks. The state highway department yes terday issued a call for bids for the paving of the avenue from Phoenix to Glendale, to be opfiied Slay 23. It is expected that construction work ill be begun shortly after that date nd that the paving of the highway ill be completed uurine the late summer or earlv autumn. The financing o Ihis project W'as made possible at this time by the passage of the omnibus bill, the co- peration of the Maricopa county highway commissoin and the state ighway department and federal aid. The omnibus bill, as originally intro duced, carried an appropriation of Ilnnflfin frr mnrAvihr th. rnan frrnn Buckeye toward Yuma, to the county line. Through the efforts of Senator Wilkinson the act was amended to permit the temporary use of this money in Improving the Glendale road provided it could be repaid be fore Oct. 1, 1921, either from proceeds of the 4,500.000 bond issue or from federal aid received on account or any other road in the Maricopa coun ty program. Federal Aid Project The former proposition was out of the question as it would not be pos sible to sell the $4,500,000 bond issue prior to Oct. 1, so negotiations were started beween the state highway de partment and the Maricopa county highway commission looking to the early construction oi! this important project, since liraiid avenue irom Phoenix to Glendale was not included in the first bond issue of $4,000,000, the highway comnission could not use any part of tha.t money but would have to wait until tins second bond is sue of S4.5O0.OO0 had been sold, which would delay construction until next winter. The result Is an arrangement whereby the Buck-ye road and Gfand avenue are both made federal aid projects. The highway commission will at once pave the Buckeye road from Phoenix to the Agua Fria river. The state highway department will pave Grand avenue from Phoenix to Glen dale, using the 11.00,000 provided for In the omnibus bill and federal aid the $100,000 to be repaid from federal aid received on the Buckeye road Through this arrangement work can be started as soon as a contract can be let and one of the most impor tant pieces of highway work In the county will be disposed of. The paving of Grand avenue Is of Interest not only as a local proposi tion between Glendale and Phoenix. but to all the northwestern part of the state. It Is on the route between Phoenix and Wickenburg over which r-asses traffic en- route to Prescott. Kingman, northern Arizona, Parker, Los Angeles and m uy other-points. ' Hop for Apach Trail It is expected that congress will. In the near future, appropriate addi tional money for federal aid. In which event an additional $230,000 secured as federal aid en other portions of the Maricopa county program will be used to Improve the 'Apache trail in connection with the appropriation of $ iS.OOO in the omnibus bill. In this manner the Apache trail will be re stored without cost to Maricopa county. The highway department has been trying for nearly two years to fi nance the pavinij of the road between Ehoenix and Glendale.. Several prev ious attempts in this direction have failed and the consummation of this road building was only secured when all the interested road officials were induced to co-operate. o . Of unusual interest in financial cir cles was the announcement yesterday that John M. Moore, president of the Fidelity National Bank and Trust Co. of Kansas City, has acquired a sub stantial interest in the Commercial National bank in this city. Mr. Moore has been actively identified with many successful financial in stitutions and is one of the well known bankers of the country. Coincident with the announcement, the board of directors at its regular meeting yesterday elected John ft. Hampton chairman of the board of directors, and F. D. Trekell, capitalist arm iana owner oi i noenix ana i Angeles, president of the institution. Mr. Trekell is well known in Arizo na, as he has had large interests here for many years. He is interested in several banks and is recognized as an unusually successful business man. Hugh, B. Cassidy. who has been cashier at the commercial National bank since its opening, was continued by the board in that position, and was also elected vice pisldent at the meeting yesterday. Mr. Trekell said he has absolute confidence in the Salt River valley. and that while times have been some what hard, he looks for local condi tions to improve rapidly. He was well satisfied with the affairs of the Commercial National bank, and said he was surprised at the remarkable showing made. In support of his statement he called attention to the condensed statement of the condi tion of the bank at the close of busi ness yesterday. . o COLORED STUDENTS TO PRESENT PLAY "At the End of the Rainbow- will be presented at t o'clock tonight at the high school auditorium by the colored students of the high school.

Ross, state president of the Arizona Federation of Musical clubs, discovered that there was not sufficient funds in the treasury to cover the publication of a year book, she determined to raise the amount necessary. In view of the fact that the members had' been "taxed to their eyebrows," this year Mrs. Ross decided to go out and earn the money and at the same time give the people value received, and then some. The wife of the chife Justice of the supreme court went about in a business like way and talked adver tising to every important musical firm in the city, to tne best teach ers of music tere and elsewhere and, as a result, she not only will get out one of the most comprehensive year books, but will have "left over funds for the treasury. The year book will be sent to ev ery musical club in the state and the music section of every club af filiated with the statu federation. In addition to this wide circulation, Mrs. Ross will take 75 copies back to the biennial convention which will meet in the Tri-Cities.
