Preliminary Work
 on the Power Dam
The Parker Post says:

The Parker Post says:
 The Chuckawalla Development O., has a force of about thirty men at work where they intend to put in a mammoth dam across the Colorado river some thirty odd miles above Needles. The work the men are do- ing now is drilling in the bed of the river there to locate bedrock upon which to build the dam As soon as this is accomplished the work of building the dam will be commenced with large force of men. It Is esti- mated that it will take between three and four years to complete the under taking. Needles will furnish much of the supplies and they will be taken up the river by boat.
 The company owns about 250,000 acres of land in the Chuckawalla val ley, between Calzona and Blythe, and it is so situated that the water for ir- rigation purposes must be raised by power from the river below by series of pumping stations, and for the pr post of operating the pumping plants the company will put in the power dam at Bulls Head canyon, Aside from having sufficient power to oper- ate their own pumping plants they will have a large surplus which they will dispose of to the various towns and mining camps.

Our First Election

| Mdny are dSK1nS when we VIII elecC and how?
 Under the resolution the president has thirty days in which to notify Governor Sloan of it's terms, but it is very unlikely that he will delay that long. We expect that he will almost immediately send out the notification to the executives of both territories, as he is favorable to action in both cases.
 After receiving the presidents no- tice, Governor Sloan has thirty days in which to order the state election. He can order it promptly or he can wait the full thirty days, but. Governor Sloan can be depended on to expedite matters as much as possible.
 He can order the election to occur not less than 60, nor more than nine ty days after his proclamation. As to which term he will choose will be governed by considerations we cannot foresee at the present time.
 When the election shall have been held and the returns duly made, 1t shall be the duty of Governor Sloan to certify them to the president, includ- ing the vote on the amendment to eliminate the recall of judges, and if the latter shall have been adopted, then the president will issue his proc lamation declaring that Arizona is ad- mitted to the Union upon equal foot ing with the original states.
 Then, and not until then, will Arizo- na be state.
 If the president should take his full time under the resolution his notice would come about September 21. If the governor did likewise his procla- nation would come about October 21. And, if he set the election for ninety days after, it would occur about -Janu- ary 21, 1912, and the proclamation of full statehood could hardly issue until some time in February.
 
 But, if the shorter route is taken, then notification would come about September l. proclamation of election the same date, and the election some time in November, and our representa- tives could enter congress at the op- ening in December.
 
 This election will be for one year for state and county officers, their terms expiring on the first Monday in January, 1913.
 And, let it be remembered that
 this election will be held under
 the primary system according to
 the best authorities all over the
 territory. There will be no padded
 convention. The people will go to
 the primaries and vote.
 Arizona's direct primary law is a fearful and wonderful thing. It is a compilation of laws of other states, is contradictory in some features, and most difficult to understand clearly. It is not likely that any member of the convention that voted for it had more than a vague understanding of it's provisions.
 But it will be possible to wiggle through this first campaign under the existing law, somehow, and doubtless the first legislature will enact .new primary. law that will be clear in it's . terms.
 In view of the fact that candidates for office at this first election will be put to considerable expense, as here tofore it is not altogether encouraging for them to contemplate a one-year term. But the glory of holding office appeals to multitudes of misguided men, and there will be no scarcity of candidates.

Just what office he is a candidate for on the Democratic ticket or who he thought was going to run off with it, is not known, but there must have been some reason for it. Possibly he heard that Atty.

GIRLS DRESS. No. 1926.
DAs4SSSs Nv. 1880
WITH LONG OR SHORT SLEEVES,
WITH OR WITHOUT SHIELD.

Sleeves that form a part of the
tions are exceedingly fashionable for
school girls as we'll as for their eld-
ers. This dress shows them and also
includes the closing at the left of the
front that is new and smart and prac-
teal. In the illustration the dress is
made Of serge and the collar and cuffs
Of broadcloth trimmed with braid.
Serge is the favorite of the season, but
the model can be utilized for plaid or
checked materials. or, indeed, any one
that is adapted to girls wear. There
is a separate shield that is closed at
the back and this shield can be used
or omitted as liked, while the sleeves
can be made short in place Of long.
Light weight b~roadcloth Is always
pretty for winter frocks, and white
broadcloth is a favorite. The dress
made Of that material throughout with
collar and cuffs braided with soutache
would be charming. The model IL
lustrated is practical. The two are
equally correct.
The dress is made with skirt and
boluse. The skirt is cut in one piece
and plated. The blouse is made in
sections and the mai. sections are
Joined to the sleeves and side portions.
The closing is made with buttons and
used. they are left loose and the edges
are finished.
For the IL year size will be required
8 yards Of material 81, I 3-4 yards So,
or 3 Ia yards a inches wide with ga
yard 81 inches wide for collar, SUITS
and shield.
The pattern. No. 7225 is cut n sizes
for girls Of 10. IL and II years of age.
and will be mailed to any address by
the Fashion department Of this paper,
on receipt Of ten cents.
