telegram of June 10, inquiring whether you could guarantee a full seasons bookings for our Denver and Salt Lake houses:
 Doubtless you must have been aware when you received this message that we had some object in view other than believing for an instance that you were in position to book these houses, and you know that we had made other arrangements. Having ac- complished the desired object, we want to extend to you our congratu- lations on the production of such an eminent contribution to theatrical literature. and further tender our sincere appreciation of your effort in our behalf, in that you were thought fuI enough to have your letter pub lished before it reached us. Western journals, as rule, hold their space at premium. and you are, therefore to be congratulated again on residing in a locality where fine discrimination in such matters has become one of the lost arts.
 We note that you say regarding your sincere loyalty to MT. McCourt, of Denver( and Mir. Pyper, of Salt Lake, who have. indeed. been loyal to your interests. Would you consider it out of place if we suggested that this should be reciprocal on your part?
 It was kind and lovely in you to make that suggestion about double doors at Payson. We have taken your advice in regard to that town. as well as a great many others in which many of your attractions play and we believe will continue to play irrespective of your demand that they do not look after their interests; for no man can tell what a day will bring forth. and where some of the attractions sent out by your firm may wander our way and double doors may be necessary.
 We beg to advise you, as well as all managers, that we are still book ing Reno. Phoenix, Bisbee, Prescott. Douglas and other good one night stands. and congratulate ourselves that we are receiving daily. direct from managers and owners of com panies, requests for routes, as well as the contracts. which leads us to believe that at least some of the man agers possess an independent spirit and don't take seriously, as we do not. your ultimatum to book nothing but such attractions that pass through your hands.
 Again conveying to your expression of esteem and regards. we remain,

John Hays Start in Literature

From A. s. Chapmans The Boy hood of John Hay" in the July Gen. tury.
 John Hays literary beginnings date back to the quaint old town of War saw, on the Illinois side of the Miss issippi, in which he lived from the age of three years till he entered public life at Springfield as assistant secretary to President Lincoln. Ac- cording to the memory of his sister Mrs. Mary Woolfolk, who still lives at Warsaw. he had in his boyhOOd "the habit of. stringinG words togeth- CT into rhymes
 Warsaw remains today much as it was more than forty years ago, when the coauthor of Abraham Lin coin" and future secretary of state left it. Half a century ago, it had hopes of becoming a city. It is still fruitful in "reminiscences of John HayA A few miles away rise the smoking chimneys of Keokuk, Iowa, the city of which Warsaw was once d rival. Railroads came to Keokuk; only one to Warsaw Three states. Illinois, Iowa and Missouri, lie within the prospect. From these heights MT. Hay viewed the sunsets which he af forwards declared were more beau tiful than those of Italy"

A BAD BACK IS A BAD HANDICAP

Few of us can afford to be idle and to those who work, q sound strong back is a necessity. A bad back prevents rest or sleep. and aches all day with a dull. tired throb
 Don't think because sharp twinges strike you when you lift, or twist about, or reach, that your work is too hard for you. Bad backs are common in every occupation. Those aches and twinges are only Natures warning that the kidneys need help.
 It is easy to tell if the kidneys are sick, and are not thoroughly doing their work of Altering the blood. Backache is an early warning. Head ache, dizzy spells, puffy swellings under the eyes or in the ankles and legs. nervousness, irritability, rheu- matic pain and tired feelings also tell of the kidney ills.
 Examine the urine. If it is ex- tremely pale and light, the kidneys are not getting out all of that uric poison. If it is dark colored and thick, passages too frequent, or too scanty. if there is any sediment de- posted when it stands, if passages burn or pain, that is proof enough that the kidneys need attention.

| The word Arizona in it's histori- cal application is not inviting, and the word Imperial is suggested as a name for the projected state, not so much because it is the name of a valley which is already widely known for it's irrigation, as because it is of pleasing sound and is suggestive of magnitude.
 "The practice of irrigation is de- pendent on state laws. Even the peo- pie of Yuma, taking water from the Colorado under government ditches, are amenable to the laws of California more than to the laws of Arizona, because their diversion works are on the California side of the river
 With this interstate stream gov- erned by the laws of Arizona, Ne vada and California, there can never be harmonious development for the full utilization of the water. and there are at all times possibilities of con flict growing up.
 Even the national government cannot intervene. but for it's own works it must make appropriations of water under state laws
 Thus with the Colorado and it's important tributaries brought with in the confines of a single state. the work of development could be con- ducted.
 And what a state this could be madei With the Grand Canyon there is latent power for the machinery of an empire. There are storage reser- voirs that would make possible the irrigation of millions of acres of land. Then there are the great trib- utaries of the Colorado. the Salt river specially. and if the state were erected with irrigation as its cor nerstone, the laws would form the first be so formulated as to build the new empire to this definite end.
 Then it would be possible for the new state to pledge itself in raising funds for the systematic development of the great power and irrigation re- sources which but await the hand of man to bring them into productive being.
 Imperial valley has no grievance against the great state of California It has no political ambitions toI achieve. But seeing the essential unity of the development work along this mighty river and reaIizing that political unity is essential to bring these development projects to their greatest fruition. this project is for mulated. and Imperial county would probably cheerfuly loan the nane which has become dear to all it's peo- pie to the great state which would thus be created.
 And think what it would mean to have a state erected with the defin ite idea of irrigation development "n a scale only equaled in Egypt and India. At once the enterprise would become world famous, and within d decade the new state would have a population which would give it rank somewhere in the list of the dozen most populous states"

consider doing anything detrimental to MT. Peter McCourt, whose inter ests we have represented for twenty years in Denver, and we into1d to be as loyal to him as he has veen to us.
 Regarding Salt Lake, the same con- ditions apply. We would not do any thing to injure MT. Pyper's interests.
 As we have arranged with Nr. John Cort to book Provo, Reno. Phoe- nix, Bisbee, Prescott and Douglas, the only important points in your circuit where our attractions could continue doing further business with you. Therefore by all means keep the door wide open in Mesa, Morenci. Malad, Elko and Pioche. and do not forget Encampment and Nephi By all means get double doors for Payson and keep them wide open all the time. because the attractions that we represent are too important and too expensive to visit these points.
 You need not bother to send this letter to your eastern representatives for publication. as we have saved you that trouble.

Gentlemen:-
 We have your favor of June 12, and note that you have arranged with MT. McCOurt to book six houses. We have no objection to these houses getting attractions, and we sincerely hope that they will get enough of them to keep moving and this office will not be bothered with complaints on account of lack of goods, which we formerly received.
 We shall probably have a few double doors. if we live long enough. in other sections than those men tioned in your letter and whenever we do rest assured we will throw them open to accommodate anything you may have, provided, of course the attraction is good enough for such doors to be opened.
 We are pleased to know that you are loyal to MT. COrt and McCourt, and we have only one regret, and th8t is that the same loyalty was not accorded to us. Yours truly,

THE STATE OF IMPERIAL
 ENTIRELY NEW PROJECT
The Latest Solution of the Statehood Question.

sH
 The following from the In1nerial Cal, Standard. shows how ali this statehood business may be surmount- ed. Some may object to it because it proposes the absorption of Ari- zona. It may be that on more crit ical examination other objections will be discovered.
 The Standard proposes:
 Many plans have been fOrmuhted during the last. quarter century for the creation of 'new states in the southwest These several projects have had as basis only the general feature of d wide extent of land. sparsely settled, calling for more local government than that which exists.
 But the Standard has a state ad- mission project b outline which is based on industrial lines and which provides for what would inevitably become one of the greatest states of the union.
 "The details of this project might be rather difficult to work out. but the benefits to be derived are so man. ifest that it is worth the effort.
 This project is to take into the new state the territory of Arizona. the southeastern corner of Nevada and that portion of California east of the west line of Imperial county projected northward.
 This is based on no whim. but the idea is founded on the fact that the projected state would include all that portion of the Colorado river lying south of Utah, and which. if it's waters are properly utilized, would give to this land a population of mill lions.
