NJ PREL|M|NAR|ES IN INAUGURAL BALL

There will be no afternoon reception preliminary to the inaugural ball, it was definitely decided by the Arizona Inaugural committee at a special meet ing held last night
 This decision was reached in re- sponse to a general sentiment that no arrangements should be made which would in any way conflict with the public reception usually held in con junction with the formal inauguration exercises held on Inauguration day proper.
 The inaugural ball will not be held until some days after the governor takes office and the committee has decided to limit its activities solely to the staging of that event.
 Another important action of the com mittee was the adoption of resolu- ton to the effect that all surplus funds over the expenditures will be donated to charities.
 The name of Charles K Pishon was added to the general committee and the executive committee was empow- cred to make further additions to this committee as deemed necessary.

FUTURE ADVANCE IF NATION MUST BE ON
 RECLAMATION LINES

- Ihe opportunity for the United states to develop itself through traffic with the nations of Europe has been nullified by the results of the great war. If this country, therefore. desires 70 advance along the paths of progress and prosperity it must begin the mag nificent work of internal development and build for its people new country.
 In the foregoing words George II. NlaNWeII, executive director of the Ma tlonaI Reclamation association with headquarters in Washington. D. C. summed up the reclamation situation m the United States before the Xii wanls club at it's weekly luncheon yes terday. His address was a resume of the details of the great reclamation protects now under consideration in various parts of the west. and also d plea for united effort of the part of westerners to make the dream of a re- claimed empire a reality.
 After referring the the beginning oi the Salt River valley project and his efforts in connection with it. Mir Max
Arizona republican., 1920-12-15

we'll made a survey of the reclamation projects which are now in considera- ton in this and other states.
 T want to say in all earnestness," he declared. "that we are facing today an advancement in the field of reclama- tion so far ahead of all we have vi- stoned in the past that it is unbeliev- able. If the people of the west simply sit down and take what the politicians
 want to hand out they will get little
 for politicians themselves are see
 ing the need of doing something-but
 if they begin an active campaign of education, if they show the manufac-
 turers. iobbers and merchants of the east the wonderful markets that await them where now there is only the des- ert if they arouse the nation to the fact that within it there is an empire great CT than any now in existence. the mag niftcent program already conceived will be carried out in it's entirety and to the enduring benefit not only of ourselves but of uunumbered generations tc come.
 sThe real estate men of California ir a recent convention have approved the Sacramento valley project contem- lplatine the expenditure of S500.000,0Ol land the reclamation of 100000 acres The Great Bend project on the Colum- | bia river will bring under cultivation II. .75O.O .OOO acres at a cost of T5,000,000 | The Bruno project in Idaho will re claim 500. 600 acres at cost of ap iproximately $50, 900, 900. Now, wha have we in Arizona in the Colorado river project With the water takel ] from below the canyon together witt Tits tributaries, more than 5,0OO,O0' ' acres can be put under irrigation while your project, the Salt River val ilev system great ais it is, has resulted
Arizona republican., 1920-12-15

in placing only 350,000 acres in culti- vation.
 This country has spent more than s2O. 900, 100000 n the great war. For one-tenth of this sum, or s2,OO0, 900, 0OO, we can create a new nation within the borders of the west and open up re- sources and possibilities that make those we hope for in Europe fade al most into nothingness."
 During his address Mr Maxwell re- lferred repeatedly to Vernon Clark, Col William A. Glassford and other 1 IPhoenicians who assisted in launching the Salt River valley project. l Another speaker was Judge John Twohy of Twohy Brothers, road con tractors, who spoke briefly on the road situation in Maricopa county and the desire of his company to cooperate in the program which has been outlined by the highway commission.
 In addition to Mir Maxwell and Judge i TWohy, other guests of the Kiwanians were Colonel Glassford, ]. $. Daniels advertising man, formerly member oi the Fort Worth, Tex, Kiwanis club; J IC. Holdiman, insurance manager; flames F. Haam of the Twohy Brothers lcompany; Garfield J. Anloff. Sacra- lmento, Calif, and Charles ;. Sprague Los Angeles.
 The meeting opened with Royal W lLescher, president of the club, il charge He urged the kiwanians tC pay particular attention to committee selections for the coming year, and alsc read the reports of the various teams in the Christmas Seal drive. The re suits of the drive as tabulated for tn, club yesterday and the names of tht team captains follows:
 Benjamin Rice. $1,73; J. O. Sexson S962; John Thompson, S470, and Fret Payne, sS70.
 After the introduction of guest Press Bancroft, chairman of the day took charge of the meeting. H. W Dacon was given the attendance prize which was five pounds of well know cleaning compound donated by Vernon Clark, who in a short speech guaran teed it to be good either for interna or external purposes and told MI Dacon that if che latter found it satis factory he could have another ? pounds by applying for it.
