|D|RT TO FLY N YEAR l ON NEW WATER PROJECT
Arizona and New Mexico Land Go
 to Build on Little Colorado

T am not going to make any de- finite statements. but you may say that dirt will fly within the year on the Grieg survey project on the Little Colorado,' said A. $. Grieg president of the New Mexico and Arizona Land company Monday on the occasion of his short visit in Phoenix
 The Grieg survey was made about i've years ago on a dam and reser- Volr site southeast of the town of Holbrook. One of the plans will de- Velop reservoir of greater capacity thar the Roosevelt and will irrigate two hundred and fifty thousand acres of fertile desert land
 The location survey called for fl dam sixty feet high and high water mark contour of about twen- ty-five miles in length. There have been other surveys made since. how ever. which greatly increase the size of the reservoir and raise the height or the dam. It is not yet decided which site or which survey will be used The location traverse cleft the town of Hunt in two. making one half of it in the submerged districi and the other right on the proposed bank. At the site of the proposed dam is granite reef jutting out from the hillsides to a distance Of only five hundred feet from the cen ter of the river bed. In this cut will be built masonry dam of much the same type as the Roosevelt dam to impound the waters of the Little Colorado.
 At the same time as the Grieg survey was made, d party was on the canal lines, running about twen- ty-five miles direct from the dam site to the lands proposed to be watered. Since then another survey has been made to include diversion project lower in the river
 On the completion of the survey near Holbrook the party that located the dam site went to WinsloW ana surveyed q canal line from the east foot of the railroad bridge east oi the town north and curving around the town. This line has been aban- doned as it was found impra acticablt on account of a scarcity of unappro- priated water in the Little Colorado and Clear Creek. North of WfnsloN there is a set of alkali and arsenic flats that are remarkably rich i phant making minerals and the twenty-five mile ditch line was tc have provided water for this tract.

FINANCES AND
 MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1spArcH]

NEW YORK, April 22.-The advance in stocks which began yesterday con- tinued for a time today and there seemed to be disposition to take a more cheerful view of the market con- ditions. The upward movement was of small dimensions, Union Pacific be- ing the only one of the leaders which gained as much as point, but the ad- vance of the general market gave evil dence of strength. The supply of stocks was small, hardly meeting the requirements of the short coverings. Around noon however. the list began to ease off gradually and the early gains melted away until at late hour the tone became heavy, Southern Pacific leading the decline.
 The net changes in most cases was insignificant and the change in the market was apparently due to the fact that the short interest had been re- duced on the advance of two or three points from yesterdays low prices with the consequent weakening of the tech nical position. The bear traders at tempted to make capital out of Presi- dent Wilson's message to California but Wall street refused to consider the Japanese question seriously as a stock

The road is in fearful con- dition and has been for some time It is full of holes, and ruts and is
 about the worst piece of road to be found in the valley. Autoists have
 such a horror of driving over the avenue that many of them take the
 long way, coming out Center street
 and then across by way of Northern
 avenue to Glendale. This avenue could be made into a fine boulevard if taken in hand now, and finished before the hot season starts in, and
 1t should be done if it is possible to secure funds for the work An eX-
 perienced road building man will be on hand to give expert advice, and suggest the best plan to be adopted.

Wagner-Leach-Ri Ritchey that was looked
upon as one of the most formida BILE

whitening Of his hair at the temples

advisability of his retirement from the
