Gus theories Of the arrival Of life on

ut was at first assumed that the

growth or elevated by volcanic or
seismic activity. But if this were true

 One year ago, on August 12, the San Carlos association was organized in d great meeting at Florence and since that time the committee chosen has been eard at work The purpose of the organization is to bring about the con- struction of the great San Carlos stor- age dam to TTigate 150,000 acres in the Fiorence-Casa Grande valley.
 During the year that has passed good progress has been made toward the goal State sentiment has been crystalfzed behind the movement The. assistance of the reclamation service mas been enlisted. and the attitude of opposition on the part of the service has been changed to one of commen- cation and approval At the present lime an up-to-date report on the pro- Ject Is in course of preparation by the reclamation service Delegates have been sent to all the important meet ings where the merits of the San Car los project have ben pressed home Al most without exception every conven- ton of various organizations in the state during the past year have strongly endorsed the project
 So active has the committee been in pushing: the project to the fore tha, 1t is today known throughout the Southwest and spoken of as the next big. project to be constructed in this

section of the country. Delegates have been sent by the committee to the na- uenal capital in the interest of the San Carlos. and in return congression- al committees have visited the valley and inspected the damsite. It has been a great year and the project has been brought immeasurably nearer
 It IS particularly fitting therefore that the committee should make a re- port to the association of it's aetivi- tles during the year on the anniversary or it's organization. Besides the ques- ton of a central power plant is acute and ripe for discussion and decision.
 All roads will lead to Florence oa August 12 and a historic meeting, per haps the biggest of it's kind in the Southwest, will be held. Indications are that the record attendance of last years meeting will be smashed by the size of the crowd at the coming meet ing,
 When the business of the meeting has been concluded-if there is time state and county candidates will be given a chance in a great political free-for-all. The time will be divided up a few minutes allotted to each candidate, and the fun will be on,
 The idea of a political free-for- all Is expected to add materially to the crowd and bring out all the candi dates,

The labor incident to preparing a bar becue and the difficulty in getting someone with experience to handle the job, caused the committee to call off the idea of having a barbecue such as was put on at last years meeting. Lunch and cold drink stands will be on the grounds for those who fail to bring any lunch. where Q bite to eat can be secured for a reasonable sum.
 The business meeting will begin promptly at l o'clock. Reports of the years work will come first, after which the question of a central power station will be taken up. Visiting del egat1ons will be called on for an ex- pression of opinion. When the bus mess meeting is closed the political free-for- r-an will be on.
 Judge Baughn of Florence is chair man of the San Carlos committee and will preside at the meeting. Judge w. 5. Preuty of Casa Grande, member of the committee, will make a full re- port of his trip to Washington as the representative Of the association. Other project and the work of the committee vii be brought out.
 It is understood that representatives of the federal departments of the gov ernment interested in the matter will be on hand and have some valuable information to give out. An effort Is being made to secure the attendance of Director A. F. Davis of the reclama- ton service, and it is hoped that he will be able to come. Other depart ments also vii be represented The Phoenix and Mesa chambers of commerce are expected to send large delegations. The Rotary and Kiwanis clubs of the capital city also will doubtless send representative delega- tions. All commercial and business or ganizations in the state are cordially invited to be represented. Both Phoe- nix papers are expected to send press | cars.

RIVALS FOR OFFICE
 TOUR SAME COUNTY

Politics not only makes strange bed fellows, but sometimes makes strange travelling companions.
 Take for instance the departure on the same train of Wiley D. Jones, at torney general, and Louis B. Whitney, his former assistant, who hopes to walk into his old chiefs shoes, which Jones Is not inclined te cast aside.
 The two ment left on the same train for Cochise county, where they will campaign for the same vote. It is un- derstood Whitney claims the county, which Jones will not concede. while Leslie Hardy will control the conserva- tive vote of the county, 1t IS said.
 Naturally the men did not arrange to travel together, but from the fact that no repof6s to the contrary were received here yesterday it is believed that they arrived safely.
 Whitney made one call on the at torney general before leaving the city. He casually walked into the office he formerly occupied and asked for Mir. Jones, to whom he handed ths keys.
 Here are the keys, Wiley. I'll not need them until the first of the year." said Whitney in opening and closing the conversation.
