Well Work to Start.

Work on the experimental wells to
be sunk by the state on the Colorado
River Indian reservation will be be-
gun within the next few days. A. L..
Harris, engineer for the state lane
department, spent Monday and Tues
day in Parker making preparations
for the sinking of the wells. Here he
met l.. B. Todd, the Blythe well
driller, and arrangements were made
by Engineer Harris and J.B. Flanagan
whereby Mr.. Todd will begin the
work just as soon as he is able to
deliver the casing and other material
on the ground. The first well is to
be sunk near the location Of the six
inch pilot hole on Section So, Town
ship Z, Range 21 W., and will be 16
inches in diameter. 1t is expected thai
it will take about two weeks to com
plete this well, after which the drill
ing outfit will be moved to Section
16, about six miles further south.

MONEY IN BEANS.

That Palo Verde valley is adapted
to beangrowing on a profitable scale
has been proved. David Darling, who
lives north of Blythe, last week fin
ished harvesting his crop of the Te-
parry variety He got 120 sacks of
80 pounds each from a little less
than seven acres. This is a total of
10000 pounds, or 1,543 pounds to the
acre. These beans at cents pound
will give a gross income of $92.5S an
acre. And when it is taken into con-
sideration that this crop was harvest
ed in plenty time to get another crop
of beans, or one of milo or corn from
the same land yet this year, the pro-
ductiveness OF Palo Palo Verde's coil
and sunshine can be readily estima-

Wenden Will Receive State Aid.

A. L. Harris, irrigation engineer for
the state land department visited
Wenden Wednesday ito investigate
and report on the artesian well which
the citizens of that community, by
means Of a bond issue, of the school
district, have sunk to a depth of IT'S
feet. AS the state of Arizona has
selected several thousand acres of
land in the vicinity, the land depart
ment, under the new state land code,
is authorized to develop water wher-
ever practicable for the purpose of
aiding the department in classifying
and appraising the state lands.As the
funds raised by the. bond issue have
been exhausted, the attention of the
department. has been directed to the
Wenden enterprise, and State Land
Commissioner Moeur authorized
Mr.. Harris to make a report as to
the cost of completing the we'll How
ever, it will be several months before
the work can be undertaken, as the
money for water development on
state lands comes out of a fund
known as the state land classified
ton and appraisement fund, which is
derived by charging a fee of one per
cent on all lands sold by the state,
as WRlla on the sale of all imDrOVe-
ments on leased state lands. In all
probability Wenden will be first ben
aficiary under this provision of the

AN INDIAN FANDANGO

most dramatic pagan ceremony
is in progress near Somerton partici-

dians of the Cocopah, Yuma and Mo-
jave tribes. It commenced Sunday
and will close about o'colck We'd

the Indians go through a grotesque
and aboriginal ceremony, the history
of which dates far back to the time
when the tribes were savages. Ann

mony, for it is dedicated to the mem
CRY of dead relatives of those who
participate The Indians, following
the old time custom, make wood and
stone images of their dead relatives
or of the departed ones whom they
desire especially to honor, and with
these in their arms they dance and
feast and mourn, the weird proceed
ings lasting almost continuously, es-
pecially at night, during the period of
the ceremony. In addition to these
dances they hold pow-wows and coun-
ellis at which the incidents of Indian
history are reviewed by the leaders
and it is said that much of this part
CT the program is affecting to those
who can understand it. The fiesta
closes with grand funeral pyre, at
which the images with whom the In
dams have associated and danced, in
memory of the days when the depar-

PARTY AT TOLLIDAY'S

%Mid-August on the desert" doesn't
have a very compelling fascination
for the Inauguration, but when the
evening shades gather and the moon
stands high in cool majesty, and the
night zephyrs breathe gently over
comes a place of alluring charm.
With such conditions assured, on the
evening of August 10Th, Mr.. and Mrs.
Tolliday, at their country place, "Bal-
lad-Haven, so named because of
the songsters that nature has be-
slowed in great bands in the pools
near their home-gave a party in
double honor of Mrs. Holidays birth
day and the home coming of their
beautiful daughter who is at home
for short visit from school at
Santa Barbara. Many guests motored
down from Parker and enjoyed the
features of the evening which con-
sisted in music, dancing, promenades
through the spacious grounds sur
rounding their home, and finally a
most delectable feast, spread in the
long dining room Mrs. Holiday re-
ceived many beautiful gifts from
friends present and gave evidence
that the day was worthy the good
wish of many happy returns"
Those present were: Messrs. and
Mesdames-Bryant, Tisdale, Har-
grave, H. NJ Osborne, Holiday; Mes
dames-Detrick, Graves, Rollins, Gil
nerson and Dunbar; Missess-Os-

structures with a minimum of resist
ence
while / propose to generate power
for distribution to the mines, rail
roads and other industries of the
state, this sale of current will, event
ually be but a minor detail. The
great thing is the production of nj
trates, the great essential of soil fer
tility, from the air.
"Out of the air, the nitrogen will
be extracted to enter into the manu-
facture of either calcium nitrate or
calcium cyanide. For the manufac-
ture of these nitrates there are two
essentials cheap electric power and
abundant limestone. These are both
Immediately at hand and the sites for
the dams and power plants have been
selected with special reference to the
presence Of limestone.
The process is simple. Briefly
the air is driven through flame disc
produced by an electric arc. Nitric
oxide is the result and this gas is
passed, with water, through cooling
towers filled with broken quartz or
tile. Nitric acid is the result and
this being poured over limestone, the
result is calcium nitrate-the fer
tilizer
"The plan is not new one as it is
being worked extensively in Europe
wherever water powers are cheap
and abundant There are now in
operation in Europe plants with an
annual capacity of 206,500 tons and
there are two small plants in Amer
lea, one at Niagara Falls and the
other at Nashville.
"The nitrates are used for various
purposes other than fertilizers, one
of the chief Of these is the prepara-
ton Of explosives. Nitric acid is
the chief constituent of gun cotton,
dynamite and smokeless powders and
the United states is largely depen-
dent on importations for the supply.
In case of war, as is evidenced by
the present struggle in Europe, we
would be largely helpless were our
importations cut off.
Il am concerned, however, rather
with the arts of peace and when it is
considered that we have, in the Unit
ed States, more than $4,000, 900 in
vested in fertilizer plants, all de-
pendent on a constant supply Of
nitrates, it will be seen that the pos
sibilities are simply enormous.
II hope to have the initial unit of
the system in operation within eigh-
teen months as work will be begun
at once. Arizona Gazette.

a boy fifteen years old, and your par
ents lived near a river in Florida, you
went out one night with your skates
to have little spin. Wolves were
plenty in that location, but you did not
think that any wolf would be SO dar-
ing as to attack young Samuel Bow
ser. You didn't even take crowbar
with you as weapon of defense.
When you made the statement Mrs.
Green was looking on the floor for a
lost hairpin. You may have thought
she had lost one, but I knew better.
She wanted to get her face out of sight
SO that she could laugh"
But why did she want to laugh ?'
asked Mr.. Bowser
Mrs. Bowser's only direct reply to
this was a look of contempt, and then
she went on:
you had only gone half a mile on
your skates when you heard the howl
of a wolf. Did it scare you? Not
much. Young Samuel Bowser was
not a kid to get scared over the howl
of one wolf. You simply continued to
cut pigeon-wings and curly-cues. Pres
emily there came the howl of a second
wolf. No attention was paid to it. The
howl was heard by your mother at
no hut she only greeted it with
sn he didn't know much about
woiN :. but she did know her son
Sammy from head to heels. At this
critical point, Mr.. Bowser. you must
have noticed that Mr.. Green went to
Tie IIOnl uOOI 10 see IL II was
He was gone about five minutes, and
must have had five hearty laughs
during that time. His face was still
twitching as he came in"
81 don't see why he wanted to
laugh" remarked Mr.. Bowser.
Maybe not. There came a howl of
a third. fourth and fifth wolf, but
you only smiled in disGain. Your
mother heard them, too, but she did
not even stop her knitting. AS you
moved slowly up the river whistling as
you went there came more howls until
you finally estimated the number of
wolves at fifteen. Then of a sudden
a pack of the fierce and hungry brutes
dashed out upon the ice and with
foam-flecked jaws and clashing fangs
ruEhed upon you. Was Samuel Bow
ser there to be pulled down and made
wolf meat of? No, you weren't there,
were you, Mr.. BoWser?"
IT don't remember that 1 was,' he
replied
No. You were scooting up the river,
not for your life, but to amuSe your
self with the savage brutes. You let
them come so near the foam flew on
your coattails, but at no time were you
in danger.
''It is said that a wolf can tire out
horse, but when they get hold of
young Samuel Bowser they lost their
lob After he had drawn them fifty
miles up the river they began to
wheeze and pant and tire out. Then
three or four of The pack turned back
to look for an easier chicken roost,

speed and spirit. How far did you
lead those wolves up the river, Mr..
Bowser?''
Never mind that was the reply.
II think you said so miles. 1t was
then coming daylight, and you want
ed to have some fun with those wolves.
You circled around them. You pulled
their ears. You grabbed them by the
tail and swung them around. You gave
them an occasional kick. You drove
them before you to the starting point
of the night before, and there you
booted them into the woods, where
they fell down exhausted. Your mother
had not been alarmed over your alb
sence but she had come down to the
bank of the river to see if any musk
rats were playing around. She held
her gallant boy. Yos might have con-
tinued that wolf story for another
hour but the Greens rose up and said
they must go home on account of the
baby, and they went. 1 heard them
laughing all the way home"
81 will see Green tomorrow and ask
him what they were laughing about"
said Mr.. Bowser.
You needn't see him. They were
laughing about your lie. In the first
place, no river in Florida ever freezes
hard enough to bear the weight of a
baby and no living boy or man ever
skated $50 miles without a stop. There
were various other flaws in your story
and even an idiot could have told that
there wasn't a word of truth in it. Mr..
Bowser, why do you tell these false
hoods? Don't you know that it is
very embarrassing to me, and that you
will soon get the reputation of being
the biggest liar in four states?. Why
do you do it?
well, Mrs. Bowser," answered Mr..
Bowser after hesitating long min
ute, IF you think that I am the sort
of a man who will let another man
come into my house, and sit face to
face with me and tell a bigger lie than
1 can, you had better get acquainted
with me all over again"
And as Mrs BOwser had not gained
much of point she said no more, and
Bowser will probably continue to lie
at every favorable opportunity
