Arizona Engineers to Organize.

Most Arizona engineers, because
of the distance from centers of
population, have found it difficult
or impossible to enjoy the revivi-
flying and stimulating effects of at
tendance at meetings of national
engineering societies. This fact,
together with a desire to study the
peculiar problems and advance the
interests of engineers of Arizona,
New Mexico and Texas, has led to
the formation of the Southwestern
Society of Engineers. which will
hold its first convention in El Paso,
Texas, March 9Th, 9th, and 10th.
An interesting technical program
has been arranged, and the social
features of this gathering promise
to be very enjoyable.
The proceedings of the Society
will be published, and other advan-
tages than those mentioned will ac-
crue to members. The. dues have
been made comparatively low, and
applications for charter member
ship will be received up to the time
of the convention. 1t is hoped and
believed that Arizona engineers will
take prominent part in this or
ganization, and will support the
movement both by becoming men,
bers and attending the conventions.
Applications for member S h i o
blanks and further information can
be obtained from Dean c.. M. But
Ter, University of Arizona, Tucson,

Measuring the Volume of Cali
fornia Streams.

The study of the volume of how
of the principal rivers of the United
States is one of the important activi-
ties of the United States Geological
Survey, Department of the Interior.
A report that will be useful to
engineers and others interested in
the utilization of the streams tribu-
tary to the Pacific Ocean in Cali
fornia has just been issued by the
United States Geological Survey as
Water-Supply Paper SOL, which is
one of a series of twelve reports
presenting the results of measure
ments of flow of the streams of the
United States made during 1913.
The survey began the measure
ment of streams in 1883 in connec-
ton with special studies of water
for irrigation, and since 1895 the
bills appropriating money for the
work of the Survey have carried an
item for gaRing streams" In Ju-
ly, 1913. about 1880 gaging sta
tions were maintained by the Sur
yey and cooperating organizations
and many measurements of dis
charge were made at other points.
The report on the streams of the
Pacific slope basins in California
represents the result of cooperative
work between the Federal Survey
and the State. The records include
description of the stations at which
the measurements were made and
tables showing daily gage heights
and daily and monthly discharge.

Grand Canyon National Park

Grand Canyon National Park
WASHINGTON, D. G Feb. 2O,-
In response to a general demand
that a National Park be created at
the Grand Canyon in Arizona, Hon.
Carl Hayden has introduced in the
House carefully prepared bill the
enactment of which will accomplish
this purpose. The bill provides
that = certain lands now included
within the Grand Canyon Matt onal
Monument shall be set aside and
dedicated as a public Park.
The area of the present mona
ment is l, ,26O square miles but the
proposed park will contain only 9o6
square miles, so that will be made
available for grazing and other uses.
1t is the intention of the bill that
nothing but the scenic portions of
the Canyon with sufficient areas
back from the rim to permit the
construction of roads shall be in
cluded within the National Park.
In order to be sure that the bound
aries of the proposed National Park
will be entirely satisfactory to all
concerned. Congressman Hayden
has forwarded maps showing its
limits, to the Arizona State Land
Commission and to the Board of
Supervisors of Coconino county
for their approval, before the bill is
considered by Congress.
Section 2 of the bill provides that
the Grand Canyon National Park
shall be administered by the Secre-
tary of the Interior in accordance
with the National Park Service Act
which became a law last year.
This law authorizes grazing per-
mits to be issued, but such a COM
paratively small area of grazing
land is included within the Park
that only few permits will be nec-
essary.
The Hayden bill fully protects
the interests of those who have here
.tofore acquired property rights
within the proposed Park. Provi-
sion is made for the development
of water power under existing laws
and the Secretary of the Interior is
authorized to permit mining when
ever consistent with the primary
purposes of the Park. The United
States Reclamation Service is also
granted the right to construct res
ervoirs whenever necessary.
It is believed that by the estab-
lishment of National Park at the
Grand Canyon the way will be
paved for securing appropriations
by Congress for the construction of
roads and trails which will make
the Canyon much more accessible
to visitors. Over 100, 900 tourists
visited the Grand Canyon in 1915,
but an even larger number are GER
tain to come each year, particularly
if good roads are constructed SO
that automobiles can drive along
the rim and view the greatest nat
ural wonder in the world.

sin the fiscal year 1914,
400 railroads, operating over
100000 miles, reported an
expense of 100000 for
compliance with stuffed
crew. legislation. This
amount equals a return of
over S per cent on $50, ,O00,-
900 of capital. These COM
panies reported a total ex-
pense of over $28, 900. 900 in
consequence of legislation
regulating operation equiv
alent to a credit basis of
$s74,O0o, 900. Owing large
ly to the numerous and diff
ferent Federal and state laws
and orders of commissions.
The number of general Office
clerks has increased 88 per
cent. necessitating an in
crease in expenditures for
general clerical service of ap-
proximately $4,000, 900 per
year, which IS equivalent to
depriving the railroads of
$500, 900, 900. indeed, H.
oO1, ITO reports of all kinds
were filled with Federal and
other authorities during the
year ended June 80, 1915.
The proportion of these re-
ports cost the carriers many
millions of dollars.
ITO comply with this and
many other legislative de-
crees obviously increased
operating costs, and this in
the long run must be borne
by the public. Railroad stat
utes in force in New York to
the end of 1906 make up a
volume of 1872 pages; railroad
Statutes in force in Pennsyl-
vania to the end of 1907 COW
cred more than 700 pages.
And at a recent session of
Congress upwards of 1000
railroad bills were introduced.
Zone state requires cuspi-
dors in passenger cars. Ada
cent states prohibit this prac-
tlce. This state is traversed
by carriers passing through
the 'cuspidor' state. One
state requires screens in the
windows of passenger cars,
and these cars traverse states
where screens are forbidden.
Indiana requires all locomo-
tives to be equipped with
automatic bell ringers. 1t
also specifies that cabooses
must be at least twenty feet
long-the usual length being
eighteen feet. To comply
with the law in Indiana the
railroads have spent $780,
600.
"This is only a few of the
confusions details that have
arisen with dual regulation.
Under the present plan of
dual regulation it is entirely
possible-jndeed, it has only
recently occurred-for any
one state, by refusing to ap-
prove on issues of securities

systems travease from three
to as many as a dozen states

q05 per cent of the commerce
of the most western states is

During a recent hearing
before the Senate on Inter-
state Commerce on the Shep-

port case. the question of
state determinations was en-
phasized. While Louisiana
was protesting against this bill
kilograms of protest from ST.
Louis and Kansas City COM

bill would permit illinois to
exclude St. Louis from the
commerce of that state; Kan
sas City claimed that it would
be excluded from the mar
kets of Kansas and Oklahom.
"A Tennessee Congress-
man appeared and protested
that the bill would enable
Kansas to exclude Memphis
from its markets. And while
Louisiana was protesting the

No matter how generous a supply

ly remembered and yet that there may
be a pleasing variety in the packets
the following suggestions are made
for preparing and assembling the
Christmas parcels:
i. Nothing should go in them which
will not keep fresh from the time of
packing until Christmas.
2. Dried fruits and other food pro-
ducts should be packed in small tin or
wooden boxes, one-quarter to one-half
pound size.
8. Hard candy, including chocolate,
would probably be safe in tin foil or
heavy cardboard, but no soft chocolate
nor anything that could possibly be
crushed should be used, as the remain
ing contents of the package might be
spoiled thereby. ga. ~ IT.
a. Several dainties. packed in OBJ
long tin boxes holding each quarter
of pound, will provide better var
riety for packet than a large quanti-
ty of single CONNECTION.
5. No liquids nor articles packed in
glass should be placed in the package.
6. For wrapping the gifts use a
khaki-colored handkerchief twenty
seven inches square, and form the base
of the packet by placing on the center
of the handkerchief pad of writing
paper about seven by ten inches.
2. Select a variety of articles either
from the suggested list Tor according
to individual wishes) to an amount not
exceeding $1.50, and arrange them on
the pad Of paper SO that the entire
package shall be the width of the pad

suit in the last analysis in the best
roads we could possibly build, if the
proper follow-up methods are pursued.
1 mean by this that each year from one
to three inches of rather fine material
should be placed on the surface and all
kept properly graded. If proper work
along this line is done it will only be
not over three to five years before such
roads are worn smooth and hard and
keep their form thru the summer with
a moderate amount of attention. Not
only is this the case, but if it is found
desirable and practical at any time
to use permanent surface on those
having the heaviest traffic, such as
concrete or Warrenite, it will be found
that the foundation have described
will be far better and more permanent
than one that would be placed on our
sandy soil if.built at the time the hard
surface was put on. - -. :. r
