WILL BRAVE TREACHEROUS COLORADOPleads Guilty Before

Richwine To KillingAntelope; Fined SIOO

Kaibah Deer CampsFilled; Make Your

Reservation Ahead PATHE-DEMILLE OUTFITTING HEREFOR EXPEDITION THROUGH GREATGORGE TO FILM SUPER-PICTURE

E. Newberry, tried before Justiceof Peace Harry Richwine Saturday ona charge of killing an antelope andhaving its head in his possession,pleaded guilty and was given the min-imum penalty, SIOO fine.

Newberry appeared in justice courtwith the intention of pleading hiscase, but upon advice from JusticeRichwine changed his plea to guilty.

Newberry intended to base his caseupon the fact that he traded a deer’shead with a man named Alvy Carverfor that of the antelope. Carverclaimed that he had picked up thehead after it had lain in the woods fornearly two weeks. Experts broughtinto court, however, were in a positionto testify that if the antelope’s headhad been on the ground that longthe flesh when it was confiscated bygame wardens would have been de-cayed.

Carver, who was also to have beentried for complicity in the case, dis-appeared soon after the preliminaryhearing was held the first of thismonth, and a bench warrant has beenissued for his arrest.

If you’re going to the Kaibab thisyear to bring back the prize buck, youwant to make your camp reservationsahead. This is the advice that passedfrom mouth to mouth this week fol-lowing a report that the three hunt-ing camps in the Kaibab with a totalcapacity of only 75 hunters a day arenearly filled and hunters who trust toluck for a place may be forced towait for days or a week before get-ting into the camps. No hunting' willbe allowed except from the regularestablished camps and all huntersmust be accompanied by a guide.

Many hunters are unacquaintedwith the above condition which wasbrought about primarily by the wide-spread publicity which was given tothe hunting in the Kaibab this yearby all the state papers. Hunters willflock to the forest, starting tomorrow,from Utah, Nevada, California and

Arizona. The almost absolute sure-ness of being able to bring home adeer has made the Kaibab huntingmore than popular and many hunterswho do not care to hunt strenuouslyfor their deer and then maybe not get

it take the easier way and go to theforest north of the Colorado river.

All of the local hunters who wentto the Kaibab last year were sent ap-plication blanks over a month ago bythe forest supervisor, names havingbeen secured from the camp registers.Many were fortunate in getting earlyreservations at the camps, w'hile oth-ers will be forced to do their hunting

the latter part of the month.

ROTARY PAYS TRIBUTE TOMEMORY OF A. M. RIORDAN Mrs. Tom Drum died Saturday

morning at 11 o’clock at StonemanLake where she lived for 51 years, at

the home of her daughter, Mrs. Wal-ter Durham. Mrs. Drum last Julysuffered a stroke of paralysis, sincewhich time she had been confined toher bed. Her death came peacefully;she had not suffered since her stroke,

and to the last she knew everyone andwas able to converse with them.

Ac-companying them were Mr. and Mrs.John Pratt and children. The two

families arrived at Stoneman LakeAugust 9, 1776. Mr. and Mrs. Neillwere charmed with Stoneman Lakeand bought quitclaim rights to theranch there from an old squatter. ThePratt family went on and selected ahome site on Beaver Creek, now theLangdon place.

Life at Stoneman Lake in thosepioneer days for this courageouswoman proved satisfying. Her hus-band’s health improved, their ranch-

A special car was sent here thisweek filled with radio equipmentowned by and bonded to the U. S.government in the sum of $122,000,and in charge of men representingthe Pathe-DeMille corporation, re-cently formed by the merging of twogreat moving picture concerns.

The purpose of the expedition is tofilm the new corporation’s first super-production, to be known as “The Brideof the Colorado,” “The Romance ofGrand Canyon,” or some similar title.

E. C. Larue, greatest authority onthe Colorado river and former hy-draulic engineer of the U. S. biolog-ical survey, who was the leading gov-ernment expert with Col. Birdseye’sfamous Colorado river expedition afew years ago, is the guide.

E. D. Barber of New York, staffwriter for Liberty Magazine, will han-dle the publicity and daily radio an-nouncements to the world at large asto the progress of the expedition.

Gilbert E. Gable, supervisor for thePathe-DeMille corporation, is in gen-eral charge of the expedition.

Billy Boyd, screen favorite and for-mer Flagstaff resident, will be thestar of the production.

The two fastest radio operators inthe U. S. army signal corps—SergeantEdwin A. Redding and Sergeant VerneHerrick—will handle the daily broad-casting. They are from Governor’sIsland, New York City.

All of the five above-named menarrived in Flagstaff Tuesday morn-ing on a special Pullman car at-tached to the Santa Fe flyer, “TheChief,” and spent the day here, leav-ing for the desert northeast of Flag-staff that evening, returning hereWednesday night, then going to LosAngeles, with plans made to returnhere a week from tomorrow, when itis expected all outfitting preliminarieswill have been attended to and thedesert radio relay station ei'ected.

Lee Doyle of Flagstaff has chargeof local outfitting, transportation andfurnishing of supplies to the men atvarious points during their hazardoustrip down the river.

The staff includes the men abovementioned and six men at the desertradio station at Willow Springs, be-sides 18 men who will comprise those

JOHN LOY, PIONEEROF THIS SECTION, WAS

BURIED HERE TUESDAYJohn Loy, prominent Munds Park

rancher and cattleman, died Saturdayat the home of his sister, Mrs. HenryWingfield at Camp Verde. Old timefriends here for the past months heardunfavorable reports of his conditionand his death was not unexpected.

Since the death of his wife in Feb-ruary not two years ago, Mr. Loy’shealth had failed. He missed herpoignantly and minor physical trou-bles soon became insistent and under-mined his health until he left hishome at Munds Park last fall andwent to live with his sister at CampVerde.

Funeral services were held Tuesdayafternoon at 1 o’clock at Masoniccemetery, under auspices of the Ma-sonic lodge of which he was a mem-ber. Walter Runke officiated as wor-shipful master at the Masonic rites atthe grave. Old friends who acted as

pallbearers were: F. M. Gold, HarryRichwine, J. R. Cooper, Dan Hogan,W. B. Thompson and George Hoch-derffer.

John Loy was born in October,1858, in Missouri, one of a family ofthree boys and two sisters. Withtheir parents they emigrated in 1874to Prescott where they stayed but ashort time. They then took up landin the Verde Valley where the familyfor many years has been prominent.

Forty years ago or more John Loyand his brother-in-law James Mundshomesteaded the broad acres of MundsPark where they farmed and went

into the cattle business. Their homewas always noted for its hospitalityand sociability, and guests were many,

as it was a logical resting place be-tween here and the rim.

Eighteen years ago, April 3, 1909,Mr. Loy married Miss Bertie Tool, aschool teacher who lived at the J. O.Hurst home in Oak Creek. Mrs. Loycarried on the tradition of hospitalityat the Munds Park ranch, where theymade their home every summer, in

winter occupying their Flagstaffhome. This is the first summer sinceMr. Loy homesteaded there that he

failed to spend on his ranch. He cameup as usual in the spring to spend thesummer but the altitude affected hisheart so he had to return to CampVerde.

John Loy served a two year term onthe county board of supervisors asrepresentative from the second dis-trict. He was identified with the pol-icy of good roads and credit is duehim for the fine grade on Sedona hill.

He was a quiet man, thoroughlyrespected for his honesty and sincer-ity, qualities augmented by his pio-neer life here in the early days.

He is survived by a brother, Wil-liam Loy of Corrtville, two sisters,Mrs. Henry Wingfield of Camp Verde,with whom he made his home afterthe 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. DaveWingfield of Camp Verde, and Mrs.

Joe Loy of Cornville; and threenephews, Linsey Loy, who lived on theMunds Park ranch and farmed it thissummer and Myron and Edward Loy,all of Cornville.

STORY OF DEDICATION OFRAINBOW NATURAL BRIDGEAS A NATIONAL MONUMENT

Frank Pinkley, superintendent ofsouthwest national monuments, spentTuesday in Flagstaff on his returnfrom Rainbow Natural bridge wherehe went last week with a party head-ed by Raymond Armsby, which offi-cially dedicated the bridge. Mr. Pink-ley attended to officially receive inbehalf of the park service the plaqueplaced there and to thank Mr. Armsbyfor his patriotism in giving his timeand money in thus commemoratingthe discovery of Rainbow bridge.

The plaque of cast bronze whichwas placed in dedication is a largeone, an inch thick and 32 by 40inches. It depicts the Piute Indian,Naxhay Begay, on his horse gazingin wonder at the bridge. The accom-panying inscription reads “To com-memorate the Indian Naxhay Begaywho led the first white man to thebridge.”

Naxhay Begay was a Piute Indian,when by all logic the bridge shouldhave been discovered by a Navajo. Heis shown dressed in Navajo clothingstudded with characteristic silver or-naments and wearing a handsomeNavajo silver necklace. The plaquewas placed in the stone wall besidethe trail about 100 yards east of thenorth abutment by BillyKier, a TubaCity stonemason, who cut a recessnine feet above the ground, beddedand cemented the plaque in it.

Fitting ceremonies accompanied itsunveiling. It was regretted that theartist who executed it could not bepresent for it is not customary to un-veil works of art except in the pres-ence of the artist. Jo Mora, who is

MISS STEWART RESIGNSSECRETARYSHIP C. OF C.

PILKINGTON PRESIDENTM. J. Pilkington was elected presi-

dent of Flagstaff Chamber of Com-merce at a special meeting yesterdayafternoon of the board of directors.

Miss Margaret K. Stewart, the ef-ficient secretary for more than a year,tendered her resignation, which wasaccepted wr ith regret and a committeewas appointed to draft a resolutionof regret and of appreciation of thesplendid services she has given. Theappointment of a new secretary willbe made soon from among severalapplications from capable persons.

Mr. Pilkington had been vice-presi-rent of the chamber. He has takengreat interest in Flagstaff’s develop-ment and can be counted on to givethe work complete and competent at-tention. He was urged to becomepresident last January, when the newofficers were elected, but declinedthen because he would be absent fromthe city much of the time during thesummer. In the winter, however, hewill be here most of the time. Theterm ends in January. Mr. Pilkingtonsucceeds Del Strong, who resignedyesterday, effective at once, becausework in connection with The Sun’sforthcoming special edition will ne-cessitate his absence from Flagstaffmost of the time during the remainderof the term.

The affairs of the Chamber are inexcellent shape. Much work has beenacocmplished and is being planned.The Chamber many times repays thedues of its members in additionalbusiness brought to the city and con-tribution to its growth and better-ment.

WHEN DID IT MOVE?

Now that Los Angeles* in her ad-vertising has stolen most of Flagstaffand Arizona scenery, it remains forGallup, N. M., to wield the blow thatkills father. In a recent issue ofElks Magazine there is a picture ofCoal Canyon, in this state betweenFlagstaff and the Hopi Indian vil-lages, and the caption under it ad-vises that it is in New Mexico, giv-ing the mileage from Gallup.

ZANE GREY HERE TO HUNTAND FILM LATEST STORYSAYS WE’VE SURE GROWN

Zane Grey, famous author, whowon much of his fame in making Ari-zona famous all over the world, boththrough his books and the super-filmsmade from them, arrived in FlagstaffWednesday evening with a large par-

ty, which included several guests andhis personal servants.

It was Mr. Grey who really discov-ered the southwest, and particularlyArizona—discovered the romance ofthis great country, saw and under-stood and made millions of others un-derstand the picturesque and romanticside of its early history; made its pio-neers, both the good ones and the badones, and its redskins, its mountainsand verdant valleys, its forests andbeautiful deserts, live in the imagina-tion of his readers.

They were lured and are still, be-cause with the wizardry of his descrip-tions was woven his great love forthis country; a love that was bornthe day he arrived here, from theeast, a mere boy then, and in the com-pany of Buffalo Jones traveled to andfro across our deserts; and later, whenhe came again and again, and withA1 Doyle as guide and friend, exploredforests and gorges, mountain rangesand deserts, always as far as possiblefrom beaten tracks.

Mr. Grey came this time from hishome in Catalina Island, and for hisannual hunt for bear and other biggame in the Tonto Basin, south ofFlagstaff, which he made famousin some of his novels, among them“To the Last Man.”

But hunting is not his only objec-tive, for in a very short time a Laskycompany will be here making a super-production in the Tonto Basin countryof a recent serial by Mr. Grey in theLadies’ jlome Journal. The picturemay be* named “Under the TontoRim.” A Lasky director will be herein a few days to join Mr. Grey in theTonto country and at that time theywill select locations.

Mr. Grey and his party leave todayfor the Tonto. They will camp firstat Beaver Dam, on Tonto Creek, just

south of Promontory Butte, and abouta mile from the rim.

Lee Doyle of Flagstaff, Mr. Grey’sguide in charge of transportation,sent his men with camp outfits andstrings of pack and saddle horses thefirst of the week. Lee is taking theparty to the rim in cars. Permanentheadquarters Will be maintained therefor three weeks’ hunting. BabeHaught and his sons of Payson, fam-ous bear hunters, will meet Mr. Greythere with his hunting dogs, whichthey keep at Grey’s lodge in the basinabout 14 miles distant. This districtabounds in wild life and plenty ofbears, deer, mountain lions and lessergame.

In the party with Mr. Grey are hisbrother, Romer C. Grey; his secretary,Miss Mildred Smith, and her mother,Mrs. M. Smith; Captain L. D. Mitch-ell and wife, Mr. and Mrs. TommyDeforrest, Ken Robertson, Ed Bowenand George Takahashi.

Local men in Mr. Grey’s employ un-

der Lee Doyle are Oscar Lundahl, C.T. Hill, Frank Conrard and EarlThomas.

Mr. Grey says that the story of“Under the Tonto Rim” is wholly im-aginary. He has his stories repro-

duced in their settings. A com-pany of 60 people will be takento the location. Richard Arlen willplay the male lead. Mary Brian willbe heroine. The cast will arrive inFlagstaff from Hollywood betweenthe 17th and 20th, and be taken byLee Doyle to the scene of the pic-ture by motor via Payson.

Zane Grey was the first to realizethe value of northern Arizona scen-ery for motion pictures. His firststory, “To the Last Man,” won in-stant approval. His masterpiece,“The Vanishing American,” repro-duced in colors the brilliant desert at-mosphere. “Drums of the Desert” wasthe last Zane Grey picture to be filmedhere. It was made last May at the

Making ImprovementsAt Cady Sawmill Here

T. G. Hawkins of McNary, vice-president in charge of production ofthe Cady Lumber corporation, was inFlagstaff Tuesday, accompanied byThomas McLaren of New York City,who is interested in the company andis looking over the properties. At theMcNary and Flagstaff plants the cutis now about eleven million feet amonth, and Mr. Hawkins notes agradual summer market depression.

Eight miles is now graded of theeighteen miles required to connect theStandard mill with the railroad atSnowflake, and a force of 75 men ispushing the new line to completion.

A new V-00 Yates-American ver-tical band resaw is being installed inthe box factorv at Flagstaff. Boxshooks are transported to the newwarehouse, 50x100 feet in size, byconveyor, with automatic switch atdestination. Mr. Hawkins expects to

move to Albuquerque, N. M., in afew weeks, to join Mr. McNary, Mr.Hood, Mr. Howell and other membersin the general offices in the Occi-dental building.

James G. McNary, president of thecorporation, who has had such atedious siege in the hospital at Albu-querque, is now able to sit up.

MANY DEER AND MUCHRAIN NORTH OF RIVER

Hugh Anderson was in town thefirst of the week. Hugh is now run-ning cattle in Houseroek Valley, northof Lees Ferry. He says there hasbeen a lot of rain there in the pastfew weeks,. insuring plenty of water

for stock for some time. Paria creek

was 14 feet deep, running more water

than in years. Hugh saw a dozen bigbucks in one lot in the Kaibab forestthe other day. He says there wastremendous increase in the numberof Kaibab deer last year, nearly everydoe having two fawns. The increasethis year was much less, he says, andasserts there are enough deer up thereto make almost unnoticeable any in-roads the hunters may make on themduring the open season.

Engineer Larue Declares LosAngeles River Scheme Can Not

Be Made An Economical Success“There is no question in my mind

but the Glen Canyon dam site is thelogical site for the first dam on theColorado river,” declared E. C. Larue,former government engineer in theU. S. geological survey who was in thecity Tuesday arranging to escort thePathe-DeMille movie party on itsgreat trip down through the GrandCanyon from Green river by boat toNeedles.

Engineei Larue is undoubtedly thebest engineering authority on the de-velopment of the Colorado river. Hehas not only made many early surveysof the river but was one of the partywho made the last trip through theCanyon by boat from end to end, withColonel Birdseye's party.

“I have no axe to grind, am not apolitician and can only stake my repu-tation as an engineer against that ofpoliticians who have nothing to loseand all to gain. As a financial propo-sition two dams could be built. Oneat Glen Canyon which would controlthe river and furnisli power for thesecond dam at Bridge Canyon. Thecost of the two dams would be verylittle more than the cost of the BoulderCanyon dam and furnish water to LosAngeles at less cost and eventuallymake a saving of millions. The tyingup of an untold amount of horsepowerat Boulder Canyon to pump waterinto Los Angeles would undoubtedlybe an unending cost to that city anda losing proposition. It may look likea big thing to southern California nowand the folks over there may swallowthe bait, hook, line and sinker, butthey will eventually awaken to thefact that pumping billions of gallonsof water uphill may be done political-ly at a orofit, but it can’t he done asa financial success. Real engineeringdon’t seem to mix with politics, so

of directors of the Monte Vista Hotelcompany Friday evening, the resigna-tion of I. B. Koch as president wasreluctantly accepted and a resolutionthanking Mr. Koch for his untiringefforts in making the big hostelry asplendid success was passed.

E. A. Haight, formerly vice-presi-dent, was unanimously elected to thepresidency and P. J. Moran was like-wise elected vice-president of theboard. The vacancy caused on theboard of directors by the resignationof Mr. Koch was not filled at thattime but will be filled later.

A brief statement of the financialaffairs of the company pleased the

directors at the fine showing madefor the past eight months of the year.

I. B. Koch and Robert Chambersmotored to Phoenix for a couple dayswith friends there, returning Sunday.

far as I have observed. All I haveever attempted to do was to get factsand figures on the Colorado rivershowing the possibility of its develop-ment in the best interests of our greatSouthwest. I am not interested in apersonal way in California, Nevadaand Arizona, or the upper basinstates. My o-reat hope as just oneof the old gang of civil engineers, edu-cated to help accomplish things forthe U. S. regardless of petty local dif-ferences, is to be helpful in doingthings,’’ said Engineer Larue.
