Summer Complaint :.

During the hot weather of the
summer months some member of
almost every family is likely to be
troubled with an unnatural loose
ness of the bowels, and it is of the
greatest importance that this be
treated promptly, which can only
be done when the medicine is kept
at hand. Mrs. F. F. Scott, Scots
vile, NY, states. Il first used
Chamberlain's Co1ic and Diarrhoe
Remedy as much as FIVE years ago.
At that time I had a severe attack
of summer complaint and was suf-
fering intense pain. One dose re-
lieved me. Other members or my
family have since used it with like

Valley, where it would either con-
meet with existing lines or continue
on down to the Gulf of California.
Such a line, it is set forth would
provide shorter route for Arizona
products and shipments as well as
cheaper freight rates for all CON-
modities via the Panama Canal.
The company would be directly
in charge of the electric railroad,
but would operate, as supporting
companies, the hydro-e1ectric plant
on the Colorado river, the coal
company, lumber company and
townsite company.
The southern terminal Of the
road would be at some point on the
Gulf Of California, where the cor
poration. by separate financing
scheme. would cause to be con-
structed a port with sufficient dock
ing facilities and the like to handle
all possible merchandise.
The consummation of this pro-
ject will have the effect of promot-
ing and inspiriting the industrial,
mining and all other activities of
the state, giving Arizona virtually
a seaport of its own, with all the
advantages to be derived there
from.

Big Project for Ari-
zona Development
Railroad, Power Company
and Seaport City on the
Gulf of California

A stupendous project, embody-
ing the construction of an electric
railroad through three states, the
opening of one of the largest btu
lninons coal fields in the United
States and also the opening of the
largest uncut pine forest ON this
continent, has been submitted to
the Arizona corporation commits
sion for its approval and authority
to organize and transact business.
A Globe man, w. V. Shenk, is the
petitioner. and it is said that east
ern capital is interested in the un-
dertaking.
The petition proposes the forma-
ton of a $50, ,OOO.OO0 corporation
to carry out the plans outlined and
which includes in addition to the
projects mentioned above, the con-
struction of a dam in the Colorado
River about sixty miles upstream
from the Arizona Utah boundary
line, the erection of gigantic hy-
sdro-electrie plant and the construc-
ton of mammoth port at some
point ON the Gulf of California.
The hydro-electric plant. which
would develop 200, 900 horsepower,
would not only furnish power for
the railroad, but would also pro-
vide current for cities, towns, n.ines
and industries along the proposed
route of the railway.
The northern terminal of the
road will be in the southwestern
part of Colorado in the great btu
minous coal region, now held by
the government. The proposed
route continues south through a
portion of New Mexico into the
great timber districts of northern
Arizona. The line would cross the
Santa Fe at some point east of Hol-
brook and would continue into the
White Mountains from that point.
Continuing south the line would
enter the Tonto basin. crossing
over into the Verde district, and
finally down through the Salt River
