Young Man Meets Death
By Drowning in Lake

Roy Johnson, about fourteen
years old, the oldest son of Mr..
and Mrs. Abe Johnson of Lake
side, met death by drowning in
the lake at that place last Sun
day. From accounts of the &C
cident received here, Roy ant
and some other boys were
ice skating on the lake and after
a time he told them he was go
ing to Showlow. The others
then took no further notice of
his whereabouts and went on
skating to another part of the
lake, thinking he had gone on
his intended journey. But. in
the meantime, Roy, who, it is
said, was just learning to skate,
had fallen through the ice to his
death. No more was thought
of the incident until after Mutual
that night, when he had not re-
turned home and it was discov-
cred he had not been at Show
low. A search was begun and
early Monday morning the body
was found upright under the ice
in the lake. Besides his par
.ents. young Johnson leaves a
number of other relatives and
many young friends to mourn
his untimely end. Mrs. Spon-
seller, proprietor of the Apache
Lunch Room. Snowflake, is an
aunt of the unfortunate young
man.
Such a catastrophe as the one
related should be a warning to
old and young, whether skating
in winter or bathing in summer,
for water is treachorous at any
time, be it deep or shallow.

The total possible hydroelectriC
development of the Colorado
River is over 1900, 900 horse
power, which is equal to one
half the total hydroelectric pow
er generated in the entire United
States.
A study of the area over which
the power proposed to be devel-
oped from the Colorado River
could be distributed is more
than three-fourths of the state
of California, the entire states
Of Utah, Arizona and Nevada,
one-half Of Colorado and New
Mexico, and possibly one-ffth
each of Idaho and Wyoming.
Should international boundaries
be crossed by the line Of devel-
opment. the large agricultural
and mining districts of Northern
Mexico would be within reach.
By the complete development
of the hydroelectric resources
of the Colorado River, which
drains a watershed Of $50, 600
square miles, and has an annual
run-off of $1,000, 900 acre feet,
electric energy could be fur
nished for the operation of 49,
900 miles of railroad, consisting
of six existing and two proposed
transcontinental lines, and still
leaving 65 per cent of the gen
Grated power for general, COM
mercial, agricultural and indus
trial purposes.
To develop an equivalent
amount of power by generating
plants using oil for fuel would
require the burning annually of
90, 600, 600 barrels of oil. which
is practically the present pro-
duction of petroleum in the state
of California.
The substitution of this enor-
nous increase in hydroelectric
energy for that now produced
from oil would indefinitely ex-
tend the fuel life of the United
States navy and merchant ma
rine, which is dependent upon
oil supply since the exigencies
of the World War brought about
a change of coal to oil burning
for navigation purposes.
The Colorado River is consid-
cred to be the second largest
river system IN the United States
and is unique among the water
ways of the world in its adapta-
bility to control for the four
fold purpose of flood prevention,
irrigation, navigation and power
development. Although its out.
let is in the desert lands at the
head of the Gulf of California,
its headwaters lie in the lands
of abundant snowfall in the
states of Wyoming, Colorado
and Utah.
Impounding its waters above
the proposed dam would store
! SO per cent of the annual run-off

Willis Bros. and Bushman's S
have been storing ice this week
for the summer trade. The ice
is some better than it was last
season, being six or seven inches
in thickness. They are getting
their supply from the Snowflake
dam on Silver Creek.

Application Is Granted for Colorado River
Project Site TO Develop Two and Half
Million Horse Power

With a view of developing
$500, 900 horse power Of electric
energy from the waters of the
Colorado River and making il
available in California. Utah,
Arizona, Nevada and Califor-
MIA, the Southern California Edi-
son company has made prelimi-
nary application to the federal
power commission at Washing
ton, says a recent dispatch from
Los Angeles. President John
B. Miller received a telegram
last night that the application
for a preliminary permit had
been accepted, which means
that publication and the other
legal forms which precede the
granting of hydroelectric rights
will be commenced.
Theelectric energy which could
be generated from the power
sites on the river, covered by
the application, is equivalent to
the total hydroelectric develop
ment in the states Of California,
Oregon, Washington, Arizona,
Colorado, Idaho, Montana Ne
vada, New Mexico, Utah and
Wyoming at the beginning of
1920.
Incident, and of great import
ance to the project, is the es-
tablishment Of a uniform flow
of the Colorado River, which
would practically eliminate the
destructive floods each season.
1t also creates possibilities for
irrigation with subsequent colo
nization, and the maintenance
of large populations in the lower
Colorado territory, which is one
of the most important advanta-
ges of the project.
The present irrigable capacity
without storage is $50. 600 acres.
Full control under storage regu-
! lation would allow an increase
to 3.OOO,O 900 acres, which indi-
Gates that under present condi-
tions only 25 per cent of the
potential irrigation capacity OF
the stream is being used.
The storage basin will be over
200 miles in length. impoundine
more than 10000, 900 feet OF
water.
The application contemplates
the development of power or
the Colorado River at Marble
Canyon and Diamond Creek,
above the Boulder Canyon prof.
ect, and the permit would allow
the Edison company time fol
surveys, investigation and per.
fecting of financial plans for the
construction of the dams, con
duits, and power houses at Mar
bic Canyon and Diamond Creek,
not including the possible power
developed in the Grand Canyor
and other sites along the ma
tional park.
