Greetings from FLAGSTAFF

ARIZONA

"Let's go to Flagstaff" was the yell of days of yore, when the cowboys from far and near cattle-camps raced their ponies to town to "drink 'em up and shoot 'em up".  From the "flagstaff" the US. colors waved over the little band of soldiers stationed at the one street settlement composed chiefly of saloons and Chinese restaurants.

The Flagstaff of today is a bustling little city, mecca of summer visitors lured by its marvelous climate.  It is the gateway to the Grand Canyon National Park, many mountain and lake resorts as well as the vast Indian Country.  Lumbering is the chief industry.

The Painted Desert of Arizona-a land of undulating plains and beaautifully colored terraced cliffs,  displaying many contrasting colors and striking hues, combined to make a gorgeous spectacle.  One area is along Highway 66, while others are easily reached from Holbrook, Winslow and the Grand Canyon of Arizona.  The delicate hues of blues, reds purple, mauve, etc., are seen best in early morning or late afternoon, as mid-day being void of shadows, the coloring is less vivid

FAMOUS RANCHES

Sunset on the Desert

Fantastic scenes, mirages, and sunsets of great beauty are rare charms of the desert.  The great variety of cactus shown in this picture are, left to right - the cholla, bisnaga or nigger-head, ocotillo or devil's coach-whip, palmas or prickly pear, giant sahuaro, and at the extreme right the barrel cactus.  All are fortified with thorns as tho for the preservation of their lives - everything on the desert does battle for an existence.

Dear Black-Sheep:

Did we ever see a lot of them.

Dick said they were to lead the flock.

Did I ever laugh.

Hopi Indians

(Orlia and Zellah)

On the Edge of the Painted Desert.  The homes of the Hopi Indians are adjacent to the Painted Desert.  The various mesas upon which they live run parallel with it and extend almost to the Grand

Canyon on the west.  The sunsets in this region are the most colorful in America, particularly during the rainy season.

Weaving a Grain-Storage Basket
The Papagos, who live in southern Arizona are an agricultural people.   The willow reeds and grasses of this region are made into baskets serving many uses -  cone shaped burden baskets are fastened to sticks and carried on the back; large baskets of the sort pictured here are used for the storage of grain; small ones are put to various house hold uses, even to extent of holding liquids.
