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.

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 Girls and Boys,

Now isn't he a dream.

If it were not for getting back,

I might ditch Boyd for the duration.

Lodging is reasonable and food is high.
