Of "she" in the Thanhouser production
of II. Rider Haggard's famous novel, has
returned to the Thanhouser Motion Pic-
ture Company, after an absence of six
months. Her enforced rest after three
years hard work seems TO have given
her a fresh grip on her art. and her work
in the multiple-reel feature, Joseph in
the Land of Egypt" in which she Is now
being filmed, is said to be the best in her
career as a motion picture actress. Miss
Shows friends in motion picture play
houses all over the world have not for
gotten her splendid portrayal of Jess
in another of Rider Haggard's novels,
and the promised release OF Joseph in
the Land of Egypt is awaited with

MARKETING ARIZONA COTTON.

The problem of finding a satisfac-
tory market for the Arizona long
staple cotton of the Egyptian type
has apparently been solved. The crop
of 1913 in the Salt river valley
amounted to 2100 bales grown
from seed bred by the Department. of
Agriculture.
Some difficulty in disposing Of
this cotton was anticipated for the
reason that 1t is a new product, with
which manufacturers were not famil-
lar. Nevertheless, information has re-
Gently been received that the 1900
bales produced by the Cotton Grow
ers' Association of Mesa, Ariz., have
been shipped out, a part on direct
sale and part consigned to Eastern
brokers on liberal advance.
In order to open wider market
for this cotton, so bales were con-
signed in December to a broker in
Liverpool. A few days after the cot
ton landed 26 of these bales sold
at price of 231a cents, which net
ted the growers. f. o. b. at their ship
ping point in the Salt River valley,
211a cents per pound. In the pres
ent condition of the long staple mar
ket this price indicates that English
spinners consider this cotton equal
to the best grades produced in Egypt.
Several hundred bales have already
been sold to American spinners at a
price which makes this a very pro-
fitable crop for the irrigated lane
of the Southwest.
AS a result of the progress made
in marketing the 1913 crop, the farm
ers of the Salt River valley are now
unanimous in their determination to
plant only the one variety and to
keep out Upland cotton, the presence
of which would cause a speedy deter
ioration of the long staple variety
now being grown, through hybridi-
zation and consequent deterioration
of the stock

On Their Way.

A card received Thursday and dat
ed March 2 from the Clayton-Hull-
Buckingham party, who left here four
weeks ago by motor boat on the trail
of the thief who stole a row boat at
this place, contained the information
that they had just made the port of
Cibola, with all members aboard in
good health. On the trip home the
propeller was broken a few miles out
of Yuma, and Chief Engineer Buck
ingham was compelled to make a
new one On the way to Cibola the
new propeller suffered some damage.
The party expected to reach Ehren-
berg Thursday night, and will prob
ably arrive home today Saturday.
1t is understood that all kinds of
hard luck attended the trip, but they
got their man, who is now serving
a three months sentence at Yuma
for the crime.

GREAT DAM
TO BE BUILT
COL. EPES RANDOLPH AT THE
HEAD OF PROJECT TO CON-
STRUCT POWER DAM ACROSS
THE GRAND CANYON.

Man has dared not only to conceive
but to propose the building OF dam
higher than Niagara Falls. 1t is the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado river
In Northern Arizona which it is pro-
posed to dam. The dam will be
200 feet or higher
1t may be made 800 feet high, if
desired, because the canyon is a
mile deep at the site, near the Ell
Tovar hotel, and there is incentive,
since the higher the dam the greater
the amount of power than can be
generated.
Because of the tremendous posi-
bilities for the generation of power,
the proposal is interesting, from an
industrial standpoint, to the entire
State of Arizona. 1t means that
electrical energy will be transmitted
by power lines to every part of the
state and the current sold at price
that will permit of the irrigation OF
desert lands at not to exceed $3.50
per acre a year This will increase
desert lands in value from So per
acre to $100 per acre.
That the dam is practicable from
an engineering standpoint was de-
cided last fall by Colonel Epes Ran
doIph, president Of the Southern Pa
cific of Mexico and Arizona East
ern railroads. That it is CONNER
cially feasible he is now also certain
His conclusions have been checked
up by other engineers of national
reputation and found to be correct
Colonel Randolph and his asso-
ciates are looking into their legal
rights and should no serious objec-
tions by the government or state de-
velop, they will proceed to finance
the project. To do so, will require
from $44 100000 to $5O,0O0,000 His
associates are Ralph H. Cameron,
formerly representative from Arizona,
then a territory, in the house Of rep
resenatitves, and Eugene S. Ives,
one of the most distinguished law
yers of the Southwest. Cameron
lives in Phoenix, the state capital.
Randolph and Ives live in Tuscon.
Colonel Randolph will be recalled
as the engineer and railroad presi-
dent who went to the assistance Of
the Imperial valley of California
when its inundation was threatened
by +he Colorado river in 1906. All
that country is below sea level. The
river broke through it's banks and
turned it back into it's proper channe,
which carries the waters to the Gulf
of California,
Cameron has owned a homestead
on the rim of the Grand Canyon
since he was a boy. 1t is at this
point that the dam Will be built
1t will be of concrete as mos
dams are now built 1t will be a
rOck-filled dam and the material will
come from the walls of the canyon.
1t is proposed to detach great boul
ders by means of dynamite, hurting
them into the stream below.
