Famous Western Poet StrutsHis Stuff For 66 Highway

Carey Holbrook, well known con-,tributor to magazines and newspapers,'is the first of the fraternity entitledto niches in the Verser’s Hall of Fameto be moved by the muses into songfor the U. S. 66 Highway.

Recently his monthly offering to awell known magazine contained athree verse affair labeled “Sixty-six”concerning which the editor wrote toinquire about free publicity, free ad-vertising, etc. Holbrook is reportedto have answered, he had been paid athousand times on the “Main Street ofAmerica” in regained health and hap-piness from living on the route.

Arkansas is the native home of therhymester and it was from back in thehills as store-keeper and editor in hisboyhood state that Mr. Holbrook firstdrew attention from metropolitan edi-torial rooms. Continued confinementand study eventually made it neces-sary for him to seek higher altitudes.

For the past few years he has beenliving high up in the foothills of NewMexico at Bernalillo, which is on theU. S. 66 Highway, near Albuquerque.From his vantage point he can lookout upon the sinuous mountain trailthat brings to his door a curiousthrong of touring homeseekers andfrom it all he seems to have found arhythm in harmony with their motorthrobs regardless of size and might,or cost and up-to-dateness.

SIXTY-SIXBy Carey Holbrook

From the pavements of Chicago,To the streets of old L. A.,

Can’t you hear the jingle, jingle?That’s the tourists on the way.

Hear the putt-putt-putt of flivvers,Hear the purr of limousines,

Sweeping on a rolling army,On the way to other scenes.

Through the traffic of the cities,Through the hamlets in the sticks.

DOWN THE MAIN STREET OFTHE NATION—66!

Don’t you hear the hum of motors ?

That’s the folks from Illinois.Don’t you see those cars a-coming?

That’s the old Missouri boys.Smell the liquid gold a-spouting,

See the Texas wheat fields stand,Taste the breeze that means redemp-

tion,In that blessed wind-swept land.

Through the dawns and noons andshadows,

Ever on the engine clicks,DOWN THE MAIN STREET OF

THE NATION—66!

There’s a lilting sort of music, 4In the throbbing engine’s hum;

There’s a cleaner, better country,Every year it whispers, “Come!”

There’s a peace that comes withrhythm

There’s a joy when all is said,In the faint enticing promise,

Lurking ’round each curve ahead.There’s a Ford and lordly Packard,

How thev meet and inter-mixDOW T N THE MAIN STREET OF

THE NATION—66!o

Pioneers’ GravesLocated on The

Salt Lake Desert

The fate of more than 200 emi-grants who started westward in prai-rie schooner days to seek wealth inCalifornia has been traced by Capt.Charles E. Davis, California historian,to clusters of nameless graves on theGreat Salt Lake desert and the sage-covered plains of Nevada and Utah.

For 35 years Davis has spent muchof his time tracing old trails, aided byJohn Yates, a resident for more than70 years of the community of Grant-ville, on the south shore of Great SaltLake.

It is his aim to locate all the an-cient graves in the wilderness, and tohave permanent markers placed overas many as can be identified after alapse of 50 to 80 years.

The graves represent the restingplace beside the trail of members ofalmost as many parties, victims ofhunger/ thirst, hardships of travel orIndian sallies during the gold rush of1849 and the caravans which followedin its wake.

Most of the graves lack identifica-tion, but they are those of easternpioneers ¦who left their homes to huntfor fortunes west of the Rocky Moun-tains; men and women who endured

Coolidge ProclaimsNov. 24 Thanksgiving

President Coolidge has issued aproclamation setting aside November24 as Thanksgiving day and callingupon the people to show suitablegratitude for “manifold blessings”which have come to them during thepast year.

“We have had the blessings ofpeace and of honorable and friendlyrelations with our sister nationsthroughout the world,” the proclama-tion said. “Disasters visiting certainof our states have touched the heartof a sympathetic nation, which hasresponded generously out of its abun-dance. In continuing to rememberthose in affliction we should rejoice inour ability to give them relief.”

Crail Still WantsArizona Kicked

Out of the UnionA bill designed to oust the state

of Arizona from the Union “becauseof its dishonest stand on the Boulderdam question,” will be made at thecoming session of congress, Congress-man Joe Crail of the tenth Californiadistrict told members of the publicutilities league in session at LongBeach.

The congressman will introduce thebill, he said, adding that “I may notget very far with it, but it is theonly way in which the American peo-ple can get the true facts.”

Congressman Crail charged Arizonapoliticians with seeking to make theircommonwealth a tax free state at theexpense of the nation by levyingtribute in taxes on any water takenfrom the Colorado river.

the wearying ride across the middlewestern plains only to succumb to thegreater ardors of the desert.

Almost 200 burial places were foundby Davis near the Humboldt river ineastern Nevada, almost in sight ofthe high Sierras. Plain woodencrosses designated some mounds; butweather had erased whatever crudemarkings they may once have borne.

One grave bears plain markings—-that of Lucinda Duncan, pretty andpopular 17-year-old girl member of apioneer party, who was buried on asite later chosen as the right of wayfor the Western Pacific railroad.When that line was built in 1909 thegrave was moved to a spot nearby,where the railroad company built alittle fence around it and instructed asection hand to paint the woodencross once every year.

I ster in which he was riding with his! two sisters, was struck by a heavy

sedan at Lone Star crossing, two| miles east of Safford. Neither ofthe girls was injured.

Nearby residents, attracted to theI scene of the accident by the soundof the crash as the heavy sedanplowed into the lighter car, calleda physician, and Roy Leming ofSolomonville, justice of the peace andcoroner ex officio.

oBluffing the Boss

He had applied for a job in a tour-ist agency, and his only fear was be-cause he did not speak any foreignlanguages.

“Well, supposing we want to send! you over to our Paris office,” said the| manager, who seemed impressed with| the applicant’s appearance. “Parlez-vous Francais?”

“What?” asked the young man.“Parlez-vous Francais?” the man-

ager repeated very distinctly.“Sorry; I don’t quite get you.”The maanger blushed faintly.“Speak French?” he said, with a

casual air.“Oh,” exclaimed the other, beam-

i ing, “perfectly!”
