GUARD CAMP WILL
 COST U. $ OVER
 $3O,OOO IN JUNE

A total of $30,OO0 of Uncle San's money will have been spent in Ari- zona by the time the big National Guard encampment at Camp Harry J. Jones is closed, it was stated by Ad- jutant General w. s. Ingalls,.
 Col. Ingalls, in preparing his esti- mates for the encampment finds that $1OyO0O will be required to cover the transportation of the men and an- other $1O,OOO will be necessary to meet the payroll. To date, approxi- mately $10,000 has been spent during the last year by the federal govern ment as its share of expense incident to the organization and upkeep of the militia.
 News of the encampment has aroused keen interest in parts of the state where formerly there was no in- terest at all. Tt is amusing to nste, {" said Colonel Ingalls,, ''how some com munities which turned down the prop osition of organizing guard units arV now showing unusual interest in the encampment grounds. A case in point is that of Stafford. We offered them a cavalry troop at first and then 8 rifle company, but there was no one to be found who would take sufficient interest to start the organization To- day I received a letter from Carl B. Schroeder, of Stafford, stating his de- sire to join the guard in order that he might have the privilege of attending tie encampment."

CAN STATE MAKE LAND
 GRANTS IS QUESTION

Can the department of the interior and the general land office be enjoined from further disposing of public landP in Arizona, and is all the unAppropri g cd land within the state under thl control of the state?
 This is the question which has been raised by a recent decision of the de partment holding that the state of Texas has the right to make public grants within it's borders.
 Walter Holland, land attorney of Washington, D. C., has written let ter to ". J. Galbraith, attorney gsn- eral, pointing out this decision and urging that the state take proceed ings against the department to secure the same benefits as those enjoyed by Texas.
 Galbraith does not give credence to this plan, however. TexAs Is on a different footing than any of the western public land states, he says. It was an independent natis a before it became a state and has larger pow CTS than the western states. In reply to Holland he says:
 "On the face of it your letter seems like 6 curiosity. It has always been my understanding that the state of Texas and all of the states original and otherwise by virtue of their re- spective sovereignty have power to dispose of their public lands, but I have always understood that state public lands in the west are handled differently"
 However, Galbraith is open to con- viction, for he adds: "I would be pleased to hear from you further"

HIGHEST DAM IN THE WORLD TO JOIN NEVADA AND ARIZONA TO BE BUILT SOON BY U. s. RECLAMATION SERVICE

plant with body over seven states if has swung its trunk about through the soft silt delta, uncomfortable al flood and destructive to canals and le- wees. So active did the trunk become in 1905 that it entered the California Development company's Imperial ca nal, running through part of Mexico to the Imperial Valley, and poured the entire river into the Salton Sink, 200 feet below sea level. It cut out the canal, enlarged the Salton Sink and formed a cataract which theatened to work it's way back through the soft land, with great damage. Only the activity of the Southern Pacific rail- road, in building a dam across the widening mouth of the canal channel, after a hard fight with the river, was able to swing the chanel back again to the Gulf of California.
 The Laguna dam, built in 1909, join ing Arizona and California, has re sisted flood waters, but complaints of broken levees, and later scant water for the rapidly increasing area of ir- rigated land continue. Complications with Mexico in the Imperial canal add to the problem, and the entire situa sion is pressing southwest interests to action.
 In addition to the Boulder dam project, the Imperial irrigation dis trict is pushing plan to tap the La guna dam, and build an all American nigh line canal on a higher level to irrigate more extensive acreage and avoid Mexican relations.
 The Boulder Canyon dam project located below the Grand Canyon near Las Vegas, Nevada, where engineers are now boring, is the most advan- tageous position of any projected sites according to the preliminary report made to congress by the reclamation service. A dam there would intercept most of the drainage of the Colorado river and therefore be a more com plete solution of the flood control problem" the report says. "Such res ervoir would also be more valuable in the irrigation of lands on the lower river on account of the greater prox- imity to them, and the consequent possibility of regulating it's flow more nearly in accordance with the fiuctu- ating needs. Incidentally it would furnish large amount of power" A further report on more recent findings is under preparations.
 The irrigable lands of the lower Col orado river as listed by the reclama- tion service comprise many valleys and projects, with total of 1,242,- 900 acres. They include: Cotton, wood Island, Mohave Valley, Cheine huevis Valley, Parker Project, Palo Verde Valley, Palo Verde Mesa, Gnu cawalla Valley, Cibola Valley, Yuma Project, Imperial Irrigation District, and these extensions of the Imperial Valley: East Side Mesa, Dos Palmas, Coachella Valley and West Side.

 Whereas, in certain cattle lustling cases, directly concerning this associa- tion, namely the cases against Mar shall, Hinman, and the Molina broth CTS, it appearing that the Marshall and Hinman cases were dismissed by the former county attorney in the year 1920, and the Molina ease was dis missed by the present county attorn- ey; and
 Whereas, all of said cases were dismissed, by the said county at torneys, apparently for the lack of ev- idence to convict, and it appearing to this body that sufficient evidence was available for the prosecution of said case;
 "Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the Oak Creek Cattle Growers asso- citation do hereby protest the action of the county attorneys in said cases, as being in violation of their oath of office to enforce the law and protect the interests and welfare of the tax payers and citizens of Yavapai coun- ty and the state of Arizona, and this body deploIes condition of public af- fairs that may necessitate law-abiding citizens taking steps to protect them selves.

H. H. SCORSE PIONEER IS
 DEAD

Into the lives of all some

 must be dark and dreary. "
 sang a fam ous bard.
 Gone IS one of our foremost men and oldest pioneers--G Gone with a heavy loss to the cum- munity and to the state. But 1t is not fer us to say that we sus- tain great loss by his death. but rather that Arizona and the Ho.brook community is better for his having lived here.
 Like a thunderbolt came the announcement last Friday that Mr. Scorse had been burned sev- erely in hotel fire at Mesa. A telegram from Phoenix announc- ed his death. but another from Mesa gave hope that he might live. Suffering intensely. but with a splendid vitality keeping him alive, he lived until Tuesday morning. when he answered the call to another life.
 Mr. Scorse was picturesque and notable figure in Arizona. Coming to Arlzona at an early age, he blaEed his way to wealth and prominence by dint of hard work, saving and judicious ln- vestment. He was a collector of Indian pottery. and gave to the Smithsonlon Institue some very valuable specimans. He raised a family that is very pro- minent in Northern Arizona.
 He was born in Chedder. Eng land, coming. as did many of his English predecessors, to carve this country out of it's rugged wilderness.
 He was Fl years of age at death.
 We all mourn hls utimely de- mise. Interment was at Mesa. Peace be to his ashes!
