COMMITTEE REPORTS FAVORABLY ON THE DAM
 FOR COLORADO RIVER

The committee of Congress has just made a favorable report on the bill for the conservation of the flood waters of the Colorado river and it is expect ed that a vote will be taken on the measure sometime next week. This bill carries an appropriation of $500,- 000,000 for the Colorado and other conservation projects outlined by Sec retary Lane. The. main appropriation is for a series of dams in the Colo rado river to impound the flood wa ters of that great watershed so that an all the year supply of water may be had in the country that is now be- ing irrigated by waters from that stream.
 One of the first dams, aside from the small dams in Wyoming on the Green river, will be in Boulder Can yon, north of Kingman. This dam is to be one of the greatest ever under taken in the world, creating a lake double the size of the Roosevelt dam and more than 100 feet higher than that wonderful project. The width oi the lake at the mouth of the Virgin will be approximately 34 miles anC will back the water up the Colorado river 40 miles. At the Virgin it will be about 400 feet deep and will holC enough water to irrigate every possi. ble acre along the course of the biz stream. Its cost will be less than tho dam at Roosevelt on account of its ideal location. It will be throwr across a narrow part of the canyor and rock and sand, as we'll as cement may be obtained on the ground. Easy of access from the Mohave county side, all the materials may be taken t. the site by rail and truck. A rail road could be laid almost to the sitt with small amount of grade, thu country through which it would b, carried being almost level.
 And now that there is a possibility of this great project going through 1t behooves the people of Kingmar and Chloride to get busy and diver all business in connection with tn, building and maintenance througl these places. Millions of dollars ar, to be expended on the project and tn, place that gets the business will b, largely benefited. Mohave count, people are the ones that did more t, bring the possibilities of the projec to the attention of the interior de partment than any other and as sev eral of the dams are to be directl, in Mohave county we see no reasol why we should not go after the busi ness. All the work done by the Cali fornia commission regarding the con servation of the waters of the Colo rado river was contemplated in tn damming of the Grand and Green riv CTS, without thought of the immens possibilities of damming the Colorado -Kingman Miner.

M. B. UPDIKE DIES SUDDENLY

Thursday evening L. c. Updike, the moving picture manager, received a telegram from his mother informing him of the sudden death of his father, NJ. B. Updike, at Kingman, Ariz. No particulars were given. MT. opdlke left at once for Kingman, Albert F. Anderson going with him as far as as Holbrook. We understand he will bring his father here for burial.
 M. B. Updike and wife had been to California, driving through in their automobile, and were returning home when his death occurred, probably from heart trouble. He was in St; Johns a few weeks ago and appeared unusually hearty and active for a man of his age. The news of his death comes as a shock to St. Johns as well as to Snowflake, Holbrook and other places where he was prominently known.-St. Johns Observer.

MADAGASCAR RICH IN GEMS

Madagascar, island of mystery, sav- age fighters and heather rites; of mis- sionaries hedged about by the black magic of the wilds, is making a strong bid as producer of precious stones.
 From the days when Vasco de Cana sailed around the Cape of Good Hope, mariners have told hair raising tales of Madagascar, in which fabu- lous wealth was pictured in the midst of occult terrors.
 The French governor generation Madagascar is a French colony-has supplied the United States consulate at Tamative with sample specimens of the leading gems found on the island. These include amethysts, beryls, garnets, kunzites, tourmalines, while more precious than diamonds are the wonderful rubies and sap phires of the Ankaratra district.

MINER KILLED AT JEROME

A serious cave-in on the 1,200-foot level of the United Verde mine last Tuesday morning resulted in the death of Piocinto Sails, a fractured leg in the case of Jules Quetu and minor bruises to Mike Ziola.
 The accident was the result of the fall of the roof of the 17-M stope on the 1,200-foot level, one floor above the sill. Quetu and Ziola were as- sisting two timbermen who were put ting up additional bulkheads for the protection of the men while Sails was breaking boulders nearby. Before one bulkhead had been completed sec tion at the rear collapsed and all three of the men were caught at the end of the cave-in.
 Sails was pinned beneath a slab of rock, and when removed was found to have fractured skull. An examina. ton at the hospital disclosed that Quetu suffered from a compound frac. ture of the leg below the left knee while Ziola sustained minor cuts anG bruised thigh.

FRESH AIR" IS NOT
 ALWAYS PURE AIR

A clear distinction should be made between "cold" air and "pure" air, the Arizona Anti-Tuberculosis Associa- tion points out. Many people, in their efforts to prevent tuberculosis, are ob- sessed with the notion that all cold air is pure air and that all warm air is necessarily impure air.
 There is danger in this notion, it is pointed out, because it gives false security. It has been found some- times by tuberculosis patients tha. sleeping porches do not always give the expected results There are in- stances where sleeping porches are found to be "dead air" pockets. And moreover, the outside air is not nec- essarily always pure air, although the chances are in it's favor. The outside air in the vicinity of a shelter kills vegetation and is harmful to animal life. It would not do for tuberculo- sis sufferer to depend on outside air in such region.
 The open window does not neces- sarily insure a sufficient supply of pure air, although it is, of course preferable to the closed window. In addition to opening the window, pro- vision should be made to secure some circulation in the room so that the air will not become "dead" air. This is the same as creating a draft and many people will be mortified at the advice, the fear of draft being deep. rooted.
 The ideal way is, of course, to sleer in the open air with sufficient protec, tion to insure the sleeper against colo and rain. The next best way is tc have at least two windows open tc secure circulation.
 Worst of all is the idea that colo air in closed room is preferable tt warm air in a closed room. Cold ail in closed room can not long remain pure. It becomes laden with carbor dioxide gas from the lungs of the per sons living or sleeping in the room The only differenece between a closed

POTATO PRICE PROSPECTS GOOD

The special potato report of the United States Department of Agricul- ture for July is highly encouraging to Arizona potato growers, inasmuch as it shows a smaller acreage planted in practically every state in the Union. The acreage decrease ranges from to 10 per cent in the various states. It is also shown that the yield in more than half of the largest grow ing areas will likely be below normal
 Averaging the report, it looks like a decrease of between 10 and 15 per cent in total yield. This means bet ter prices everywhere for the crop.

3O,537 CORPORATIONS ARE
 DELINQUENT IN THEIR FEES

A total of 30,537 of the 30,902 com panies which have been incorporated in Arizona, are facing the alternative of paying their fees and making their reports, or having the state corpora tion commission file applications in the court for their dissolution, accord ing to we'll authenticated reports of the capital today.
 The commission, it is understood is preparing a successor to the approxi- mately 99 per cent delinquent com panies in Arizona, notifying them that unless their arrears, and reports, due last June are paid, court proceedings will be opened looking to their disso'
 Fees Go to State Fund
 "The money obtained from the com panies' fees goes into the general fund of the state" said A. Estelzer, sec retary of the corporation commission. "The enforcement of the law means a great deal more work for the com mission, but it will have to be done.
 It was pointed out that many of the corporations organized in Arizona in the past few years are dead beyond recall. If the entire list of delin quents, many of which have not paid fees nor made reports for several years, were to be revived, the state would be richer by S1 100000 or more it was stated.
 Many substantial firms, some ap. preaching the million dollar class, are in arrears in the matter of annual fees and reports; a number of other. wise we'll conducted business houses have been similarly lax, and ever transportation lines are in the delin quent files of the commission.

Reasonably cool air in both living rooms and sleeping rooms is highly desirable, but the coolness must come from the outside and must be mixed with purity to be effective; it must not be cool simply because of the absence of heat.
