URGE ACTION BY
STATE ON GRAND
CANYON PROJECT
c. of c. Report Says Arizona
Should Obtain Share of
Proposed Colorado River
Irrigation

People of Arizona should put forth
their best efforts at Washington in
order to secure irrigation for hundreds
of thousands of land along the Colo
RADIO river. it was announced at the
Phoenix chamber of commerce yester-
day.
The proposed Grand Canyon dam,
as fostered by former Secretary of the
Interior Franklin K Lane, will provide
sufficient water to irrigate more than
100000 acres of land California is
busy at Washington in efforts to Sc
cure the lions share, advices from Los
Angeles disclose.
Mr.. Lane is in Los Angeles and has
been invited by the chamber of COM
merce to visit Phoenix and Arizona.
This invitation was general, carrying
with it no other motive than to have
the former secretary visit the COM
munity, but it is believed by those
vitality interested in new reclamation
projects that Mr.. Lane can give good
advice upon the Grand Canyon project
as proposed by him while in office.
What are you going to do to make
congress realize" he is quoted as say
ing in a recent speech in Los Angeles,
that there is at least 100000 acres
of land which the world needs brought
into. service because of the peculiar
EHdTdCleT Ol the SUI anu Ol the Gil
mate and that must lie unused in large
part until somebody has the money to
combine with engineering sense to
store the waters of the Grand and the
Colorado, the tributaries of the Colo
RADIO, and let these waters out over
the land below in Arizona and Califor
MIA in such way as to bring about
the greatest results
Until somebody has the money" is
a phrase emphasized by Mr.. Lane, in
icating private capital, unless the
states work for reclamation through
congress. He also refers to Lower
California as a beneficiary through
the damming of the Colorado.

That is, with the approach of spring
time, We ought to have a revival of in
terest in gardens. For, whatever the
photographers may have said about the
war gardens. the fact is they did lot
of good. We ought to have more of
them this year than we have ever had;
there will be just much need for
them.
The war gardens did not receive the
credit to which they were entitled. Few
people appreciated just how much they
helped the nation. Funny stories were
told concerning them; facetious re-
marks were made in connection with
those who undertook to grow a little
food in the backyard. But every Vege-
table brought to maturity contributed
just that much to cutting the cost of
living for the producer.
There is no reason to believe that
garden vegetables will be cheaper this
year than they were last year There
is every Indication, in fact. that they
will be fully as high or higher. It is
going TO cost just as much to produce

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
RETURN Of A CHECK

MESA, March 19.-Issued to a jew
eler in Los Angeles on the 10th of last
month, n check for 500, signed by
w. e. Walters, cashier of the First
National bank of Mesa, was picked up
on tie street near the postoffice yes
terday forenoon by r. E. Steele. Com
plete mystery shrouds the finding of
the check, and how it found it's way to
Mesa, to be lost on the street here, is
a puzzle at present unsolved.
Steele turned the check in at the
bank, and there, following on the heels
of forgeries that have been perpe-
trated the past few days, the tellers
were of the opinion that it was an
other forgery. For a time the cashier
himself could not recall issuing it..
Later he remembered drawing the
check for 800 while in Los Angeles
on the 10th of last February, it being
given in exchange for merchandise
that was received.
Cashier Walters left for Los Angeles
last evening in connection With bust
ness for the bank, and plans to look
into the case more fully while there.

Continuing. the formN secretary

Continuing. the formA secretary
said:
There is no one other possibility in
the United States that will involve so
much money; s10o.0O0.OOo ought to be
spent in the development of the Colo
RADIO river within the next ten years.
Il have had engineers at work upon
a plan, which is partly my own, con-
ceived in ignorance, but in hope, for
making of the Grand Canyon itself the
most splendid reservoir that this world
Knows. / have put to the engineers
this question: Why is it not prac-
ticable to break down the walls of the
canyon 100 miles west of Ell Tovar
itself and with the rock make a dam
that would hold back water. enough to
supply 100000 acres of land? 1t
would mean the largest, highest dam
in the world, but we are used to doing
things that way
Only recently George II. Maxwell,
known as the father of the Salt river
project, said that 10000 900 acres could
be irrigated in Arizona alone through
such a dam and the electrical power
generated harnessed. Mr.. Lagos fig
ures, he admits, are low for straight
irrigation. He does not take into ac-
count the power possibilities, which
would make it possible to lift water
s1C minimum cost TO q
height to irrigat tie elevated areas of
rich land lying back from the southern
bank of the Colorado and as far south
as the ella river, even to the door of
Phoenix, according to chamber of COM
merce information. The dam would
also provide water by diversion at all
low points along the Arizona side in
Mohave and Yuma counties. These
possibilities coincide with the views of
the former secretary and his en-
gineers.
Il challenge you,'' the former secre-
tary continues, Ito bring such pressure
TO bear upon congress and upon the
people of the United States that they
viii see an opportunity to do a great
thing for this section of our landry
making the Colorado river what it may
be, the most useful single river in the
United States in the amount of crops
that it can be made to produce"
This talk in Los Angeles met with
the most enthusiastic applause, ac-
cording to the report of the meeting.
The plan provides literally for the ir-
rigation of the lowlands of Southern
California Only a certain number of
water rights could be secured under
the proposed project and il is neces-
sary for Arizona to get busy with re-
gard to these rights before it is too
late. This is the admonition OF the
Phoenix chamber of commerce.
Now, my friends Mr.. Lane con-
cluded, you are going to see this done
this great work upon the Colorado
river, but it won't be done unless you
are persistent. We are only begin

ANGLo-AMERicAN FRIENDSHIP
(Literary Digest)


The best mind" OF America is over

the popular mind has yet 10 be won,

who has recently toured the United
States. And he warns his compatriots
that .the winning or the losing of 1T
is in our own hands,
The worst way to promote friendship
between England and America is to
shout ones eyes to facts, he goes on to
say. for the friendship of America
cannot be taken for granted any more
than the friendship of members of one
family can be taken for granted
Cousins may hate each other very
heartily, and the first fact to recognize
is that there are both fierce antipa-
thies and cold indifferences as well as
strong affections for this country in
America.
The main current of the American
nation Mr. Gardiner believes to be pro
foundly English and writing in
The Daily News, he explains: by the
main current I do not mean the ma
jority. / mean the most influential
thought. the most educated opinion. the
most indigenous culture. You will find
among certain elements of American
life a tenderness of affection for this
country as surprising as it is moving.
And this not only in city that retains
so much of the English. atmosphere as
Boston does. but in remote places.
"Off the. beaten track. as in Ken
lucky, you may find yourself in a social
atmosphere more reminiscent of Eng
land than England itself. It is only
there that l have seemed to see Jane
