RALPH CAMERON TO
HARNESS COLORADO RIVER

PHOENIX. June 23-After eighteen
years of study and examination into
the water conditions of Arizona, Hon
Ralph Cameron, formerly delegate tc
Congress and founder and builder OF
Bright Angel trail in the Grand Can
yon, has worked out project which
Will, when conSummated, benefit the
entire state by increasing it's popu.
lation by hundreds of thosuands, and
giving unlimited water supply to the
valleys. 1t will be the creation of a
Ver1tabie empire, and will be brought
about by the construction of a dam
in the Colorado river within the tow
ering walls of the Grand Canyon
The project, which has been pro-
NOTED by Mr.. Cmaeron, and which is
backed by some of the most noted
engineers in the United States, is to
furnish the people of Arizona, and es-
pecially the miners and farmers, to
whom it will give the greatest benefit,
sufficient water power at a very cheap
rate to develop their land and hold
ings, by means of pumping system
that will afford them power at a price
as low as can be had from any recla-
nation service. The cost of this pro
ject will be about $5O,00O,OOO, and
within the year, it is claimed, this
amount will be realized and active
operations on the building of the dam
will be started.
By furnishing cheap power Mr..
Camern believes that the 2,5OO,OOO
acres of land now undeveloped in the
State can be irrigated and settled,
and that within a few years, instead
of Arizona's population being a little
less than 100000 it will be between
100000 and 1000, 200, 900.
Arizona ranks third in size in the
union, while its wealth in mines mad
the richness of its soil are unequaled
develop the land and mines the popu-
lation can not grow.
According to the government geo.
logical survey there is an under
ground flow of water from fifteen to
1875 feet. Cameron has had engineers
make careful surveys of the proposed
dam sites and in one it is found that
the bow from the plateau to the river
bed is 1,500 feet and that there is no
possible way that water can be driven
from its present channel. The engi-
neers assure him that not one pint of
the flow from the Colorado would
be disturbed by the building of the
dam at this site. Such a thorough in
vestigation has been made and so sat
isfactory have been the reports and
results found by the engineers that
the project has been decided upon
and actual building operations will
soon be started. The cost of building
the dam alone will be about $4,000, 600
There will be about 600 miles of main
wire and pole lines, costing about
$4,000 per mile

new agency to be established on the
San Carlos reservation.

WILEY JONES AFTER
JOB BULLARD LIEF 7
U. S. Attorney FIynn's Assistant
Would Be Attorney General.

PHOENIX, June 20-Wiley E. Jones
is candidate for attorney general. u.
Is. District Attorney Flynn's assistant
has made a running jump and got into
the fight with both feet. AS he has
something of a reputation as a vote
getter, he has sent chills up and down
the spines of Leslie c. Hardy and H.
H. Linney, who had the field to them
selves for a few days.
Few Arizonans are better known than
Jones and he says that his friends
have persuaded him that he will
stand a good chance of nomination
against Linney and Hardy. For years
Jones lived in Graham county, but
two or three years ago he moved to
Florence. He was one of Arizona's
presidential electors last year. When
Thomas A. Flynn became U. S. at
torney for Arizona he named Jones as
one of his deputies.

GLOBE AND MIAMI TO BE CON-
NECTED BY ELECTRIC LINE

GLOBE, June 24-The Globe-Miami
Traction company are exhibiting
great deal of energy without much os-
tentation. Bids for four car equip
ment of the latest type of interurban
steel bodies and high powered motors
have been received as well as the
cost of steel ties and overhead con-
struction for an electric line to con-
meet Globe and Miami. Besides the
company expects to construct spurs
and loops to properties that the not
at present served with cheap trans
portation and possibly cannot be SER
we'd by a steam line.
To those who are acquainted with
electric traction, the opportunity pre-
sented in this district is one that is
unusual in its earning power and as
we'll, in it's developing possibilities

PHOENIX, Ariz., June 22.-Dr.
Luther E. Virgins, who murdered
in a bunk house on a Tempe ranch
last March, today was placed on trial
for murder. Wigigns trailed Booth
100 miles to Phoenix for the ex-
press purpose of killing him, and
shot bim to death as soon as he
found him. Booth was asleep up to
the moment the first shot was fired,
and was awakened just in time to
know who killed him.
The case is a sensational trial,
where all parties implicated are from
among the most prominent in the
state of Texas. Virgins claims
Booth estranged his wife and ruined

departed he took with him her prom

He has been in the city several
days and jokingly denied to friends
that he arrived nearly a week in ad-

in order that he would be on time.
Miss Noelke is a dauhgter of the
late Joseph Noelke, who was a warm
personal friend of Congressman
Richard Barthold. Today the couple
departed for San Francisco, and

After the wires had burned with
kilograms and phone messages and

Davis, up to this time, has not pro-
voked the enthusiasm that his friends
expected. This is due in a measure
TO his unwillingness to enter the race.
The statement of Mr.. V. p. Volmer
that he might become a candidate has
aroused no interest here in Boise.
Word from north Idaho is to the eff
feet that Mr.. Volmer cannot COM

The Only Condition.

Bernard Shaw, who, with charac-
teristic impetuosity, has jumped into
the music hall discussion, was once
asked by an American impresario to
go on a lecturing tour in the United
States.
There are," the impresario as
sured him, "only two great lecture
attractions remaining to be exploited
in the United States. You are one OF
them"
and who is the other?" Mr.. Shaw
asked.
"The German emperor" was the
reply of the impresario, who was en-
gagged on the process known as but
tering."
"Then," said Mr.. Shaw, I'LL go on
this lecturing tour you suggest on one
condition."
And that is?" asked the impresa.
rio eagerly.
"That 1 appear on the same plat
form with his majesty" replied Mr.
Shaw firmly.
