Mr. Fred S. Breen, .
Editor, Coconino Sun,
Flagstaff, Arizona.
My Dear Mr. Breen:
I do,not know' whether-they
have stopped counting the votes
yet or not, or whether the un-
precedented majorities are still
mounting higher, but I want to
send this further woitl of person-
al appreciation to thobe who had
so large a share in the achieve-
ment.
The KDlendid victory was a
victory, in large part, for the loy-
alf-patriotic repuDiican press oi
the country'. The militant man-
ner in which the republican
piess, from the' metropolitan
dailies to the country weeklies,
co-operated editorially and in a
news way with the republican
organization for .months has
been effective beyond description.
The victory is worthy of our
candidates and our cause. The
lesponsibilities that it brings will
be met with a sympathetic and
intelligent understanding and
discharged with a faithful exe-
cution ttiat will keep America in
her high and proper place in the
world of today and tomorrow,,
and once more bring into action
those forces afrhome which make
for the reaUwclfare of the peo-
pie and the glory of the nation.
a in nil ni this von will have a
large part and I know you will
strive to uphold in every worthy
wav the hands of that fine Amer- i
ican, Warren G. Harding, a mem-
ber of your craft. .
A train assunnir you of the
party's appreciation and my own
personal sincerest gratitude
for your continued generous, con-
sideration of me in an inese may j

! WE pVEtOST 60 PER CENT OF THE I
I TOURIST TRAFFIC; SHALL WE f
LOSE THE REST?
The most important thing necessaiy to thev development and
growth of Flagstaff is to get Flagstaff on the route travelled by trans
continental tourists.
We are not on that route now.
This automobile traffic is of tiemendous importance to Flagstaff.
When the National Park-to-Park hard surfaced highway is built or
even if it isn't built at all the automobile traffic will soon be an asset
of far greater importance to this town than all its faiming, stock and
timber resources combined.
But it, will be an asset to us only if we aie directly on the route.
Wc are now six and a half miles off the route. Probably sixty per
cenfof the auto tourists skip Flagstaff cntiiely, going cast fiom
Gland Canyon dlqct to Winslow, and vice versa.
Three things aie necessaiy to overcome this:
First, lealizing that it will be several years befoie the new Paik-to-Pa'ik
highway is built, our, supervisors should build a good road
from Winona south of the tracks to the Cliff dwellings, thus bringing
west-bound tourists in that way to Flagstaff, a gieat advantage to
both the tourists and to Flagstaff.
Second, the present Flagstaff-Grand Canyon road should be aban
doned as far as permanent construction work is concerned and a new
load built out through Foit Valley to JCendrick Mouutain and thence
to either the present Flagstaff-Grand Canyon toad near Moqui or to
the WilliamsYirand Canyon road near Anita. This would shorten the
distance fiom Flagstaff to Grand Canyon, affoid a much more scenic
route, get the tourists to theend ofy the road Mr. Weatherford is
building to the top of the Peaks, and help to develop a lot of good ag
ricultural countiy. It would be open neaiiy as much of the year as
the present route until hnid-surfaccd, and when hard-surfaced would
be open the year around.'
Thiid, the location engineers for the National Park-to-Park high
way should be induced to adopt the route from Grand Canyon through
Foit Valley to Flagstaff, as they easily can be induced to do in view
of the facts that it is the shorter and more scenic loute, and by then
would already be pietty well opened up. fn fact, it is easily possible
to travel that route with any car right now.
The abandonment of permanent load work on the piesent Flagstaff-Grand
Canyon ldute and transferring that woik to the proposed
new Fort Valley route would work no hardship to ranchers along the
former loute, because if the heavy auto traffic is diverted from that
road it will be much better with.no work at all done on it than it is
now. An example of thjs is the Leupp road, one of the very best in
the country simply because it carries very little tourist traffic, though
that jgad has never been woiked at all.
On the other hand, Unless the National Park-to-Paik highway
comefe" directly through Flagstaff, instead of losing sixty per cent or
more of the tourist traffic, as we have all during this past season, we
will lose 100 per cent of it, for no tourist will leave a hard-surfaced
road to drive six and a half miles off his route and back overa dirt
road into a town that he perhaps never has heard of and cares noth
ing about.
Unless we act on this matter and bring about the above-mentioned
changes, we may as well lie dow now and, instead of a better and
bigger and more prosperous Flagstaff, become reconciled to the idea
of a smaller and less prosperous town.

CARNIVAL LAST NIGHT
ENTERTAINED MANY
Some carnival, the one at Ashurst
auditorium last night. And the crowd
there enjoyed it immensely. Some

ydn'ous appointments reflected great
credit on the ladies planning them

Campbell, Mrs. Catherine Beckwith,
Mrs. Helen Hanshue, Miss Ruth Lat

The dancing floor was in'thc foim

priately gypsy-like. The stage was
converted into a flower garden, with
Miss Jenny Naegle in charge of the
ice cream- Miss Louise Dady took
charge of the candy booth, built in the
shape of a huge candy box. Miss Dor
othy Griffith superintended the sale of
confetti, homs and other carnival nov
elties at the Japanese booth. Miss
Reba Switzer kept the crowds of am
ateur Izaak Waltons, hovering around
the fish pond. Paul Glassey had charge
of the cedar booth, which was built of
rnrnstalks. wheat and oat stalks.
DntHiHo of the' main loom of the
auditorium were six sideshows, under
the general supervision of the Misses
Thelma Bradfoid and fay Lawneaa,
who had assistants in each sideshow
to take -direct charge; These' side
shows,' comprised a "fortune-telling"
tent, the mvstics being the Mioses
Smith' and Blanche Gardner; a "bar
ber shop," the manager being Miss
Jackie Humphrey; a' "human guitar,"
a booth in which it was depicted "why
father and mother left home," and a
"snake charmers'" booth.
Then' there were wheels and var
ious other ways of taking chances;
and there was merriment, music, fly

and tumuli that usually goes with a
real and successful carnivaL

FIRE-DESTROYED A
HOME AT WILLIAMS
Last Saturday morning during the
absence of all members of the Klock
family, fire broke out in the Klock
home on Grant avenue, ahd nearly de
stroyed the house. The furniture was
an entire loss and the house itself was
so badly burned, that it will be nearly
as expensive as building a new home,
to restore it. Except for remarkably
prompt and efficient!. action on the part
of thex fire department, the house
would have been burned down.
Insurance to the amduat of five
hundred dollars was earned on the
home. This would not replace the
furniture. v
The cause vof the .fire is unknown,

DIDNiT KILL SCHWAB

young woman. Chester had been ar
rested in Montana and jumped from
the train while being taken back o
Kansas City to await trial. While
the detectives were here they receiv

and automobile associations and good
roads organizations- include in their
own budgets for 1921 amounts .rang
ing from ?500 to $1,000 to assist in
the work outlined in the Denver con

in the principal resolutions adopted
concerning the National Park-to-Park"
Highway, They ask that "congress
be urged to enact a bill granting an
immediate appropriation sufficient to
begin this most important work and
that a commission of engineers be ap
pointed to make a survey of the pro
posed route, under the supervision of
of the department of public roads, and
to confer with the state officials of
each state through which the route
passes, in order that the most feasi
ble and satisfactory location may be
agreed upon."
The resolutions, furthermore, made
Diovision that the "National Park-to-Park
Highway shall be built and
maintained under government super
vision," and that "highway officials of
each state be asked to assist in this
great undertaking bv furnishing part
of the funds for" completing the road."
The states represented in the con
vention were Wyoming, Montana,
Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Califor

Montgomery communicated with her
and sh'eaid that she would come to
Phoenix Thursday afternoon to dis
cuss the contents of the telegram
from South America.
According to reports Noble was a ,
well-known sheep man and built the
Noble building, where the Dorris
Heyman furniture company is at pres
ent located. Following this, it is said,
Noble, who went broke, left for South
America to start in business again.
He succeeded in interesting British
capital in his venture and went into
the sheep business in the Ai gen tine,
where he evidently was successful and
acquh'ed the fortune mentioned in the
telegram. Phoenix Gazette-

prosperous sheepmen in northern Ar- -lzona
in the earlier clays. At the
heighth of his prosperity he began
the Noble building in Phoenix and, it
was understood, went bioke before it
was completed. He left the country

BEAVER CREEK GRAZING
- POOR; VARMINTS PLENTIFUL
Deputy Forest Supervisor Jim Gird
ner, just back from southern part of
the Coconino National forest, says
that grazing conditions there are very
poorj owing to lack of rain, arid that
while stock is in very good condition
now, there will not b nearly enough
grass to carry it thiough the winter.
Some of the stockmen are planning
to ship their cattle to other grazing
grounds, but many of them iaven't
enough money to do so, while owners
of range in Texas, where the grazing
is -very good, haven't the money tOy
buy feeders to stock their ranges.
Jim reports that Bill DeAdder, until'
recently trapper under Br. Musgrave,
of the U. S. biological survey, has
left the employ of the government
and is trapping big game on his own
hook. He has an understanding with
the stockmen of the Beaver Creek sec
tion whereby they pay him $100 -or
each lobo wolf he gets and a smaller
bounty for lions and DeAdder keeps
the furs. He got a lobo last week,
and Jim brought the hide to town and
shipped it away for mounting. There
are a few more lobo and several lions
in that section. Last week's victim
was trapped near the Apache Maid
ranch.
Jim says that the lions are not ex
actly tame, and tells how one chased
a mounted cowboy last spring, giv
ing the latter, who had no gun, a live
ly time getting away.
