MIKE" FALLS VICTIM TO FOUL PLAY.
By ''S"

Sorrow reiens in the hearts of the young boys and girls of Tombstone.
 It is sorrow and ache for which there is no healing balm-except time.
 Yesterday afternoon about o'clock some boys at school heard a shot in the vicinty of the old ice plant. and shortly aftcrward Mike" the village crow and universal pet of the children and many grown folks was found ly- ing in the middle of the street. lifeless.
 Mike" was sacrificed on the altar Of foul play: mangled from shotgun wounds.
 For the past eight ySrs Mike" has enjoyed the freedom of the city; the approval of the grown-ups and the love of the school children. A preyi- ous attempt to take the life of the pet was made about three years ago. when he was shot in the wing. His proud owner. Master Richard Bravin. rushed the wounded bird to Dr. II. II. Hug hart who kindly set the broken bones and nursed the wirg back 'o useful ness For several months Mike" was convalescent. and while the injured member remained in a sling. he was forced to forsake aerial means Of na vigation. But on his recovery he again resumed his daily calls to the butcher shop for bits Of meat: to the stores. where he would perch upon Il gasoline pump or on the sidewalk and cav until his cheese ration was served.
 Mike" regarded all mankind as his friend. gaining this view of life through his constant association with the little children, from whom he all ways received square deal.
 His assassination is reyolting crime ill the eyes of Tombstone young sters. to such an extent that l fitting obituary to the departed pet is beyond the scope of the writer.
 The virtues Of Mike" were many: his position in life was one that broueh; joy to the hearts of the young
 possibly more brilliant and inspir- ing one than that of the human being who sent him into Eternity
 The shot that killed Mike" did . duo injustice.
 It wounded the hearts of little ehil- dren.

GREAT PROJECT WOULD ADD
 NEW RicHEs TO rhe Wes1

NEW RicHes TO ThE WEST
 Seven western states. including Ari- zona. have united in asking congress to help them tame the unruiy Colorado river and hitch it to the blow. This would enormously exten dthe food pro. ducing area within the United States.
 The first unit proposed to provide irrigation. flood control and power de yelopment in creation of great res. ervoir behind a T00-foot dam at Bould. CT Canyon
 This. together with steps to be un. dertaken later. say the promoters, will transform the agricultural and indus trial life of the entire southwest
 The government is asked to conduct and supervise the work so that the development of the Colorado may be undertaken on a unified plan.
 Congress laid the foundation for the Boulder Canyon project at the 1920 session. providing for an investigation. Arthur r. Davis, director of the United States reclamation service. with board of experts Is complet- ing final survey.
 Following Davis recommendations. Congressman Swing of Imperial. Cali fornia. will introduce legislation be hind which every district affected is expected to line up
 Would Issue Bonds.
 The plan is for these districts To finance the project by issuing bonds, the various amounts being propor- tioned to benefits that shall accrue, this to be determined by 6 federal commission
 Estimates place the cost between .5.00e.0eo and SIOO. O.ooo. GOO.
 The government would be asked To pay its pro rata for improvements to public and Indian lands.
 Boulder Canyon dam. if the Davis report declares it feasible. would impound volume of water practi. cally equal to two years normal flow of the Colorado. Canals would divert it where needed.
 It would vastly extend the present irrigated area in and near Imperial valley and stabilize and equalize the cratic flow.
 It would at the same time eliminate the threat of disastrous flood
 Vast Possibilities.
 Experts declare that the contem. plated project would develop maxi mum of l.oeo,000 horse power hydro electric energy which could be radi- ated throughout 500-miie circls, reaching as far as San Diego in the south and Salt Lake in the north
 Cheap enersy would thus be made available in land where fuel is un- usnaily expensive, and make possible an industria! development thus far hindered. at the same time conserv- ing dwindIing oil supplies.
 The harnessed kick" of the Colo rado. felt in city. hamlet, farm and what is now sterile desert. would en- ergize the heart of an area compris- ing one-third the continental United States.
 Tapping parts of Wyoming, Coio- rado. Utah. Nevada, Arizona. New Mexico and California. the Colorado is the third largest river in the coun- try, 1900 miles in length. and prob ably the greatest potential source of white power in the United States.

 While at the Atlantic Hotel in Bridge port the other day, Ernest L. Eastwood q well known dairy farmer living at Ab- ington, Conn.,. made the following state ment:
 The difference Tanlac has made in my health in the past few weeks is nothing less than remarkable. The medicine has certainly put me in a fit condition and I 1t than l remember ever feeling in my life. For the past two and a half years especially, l have been in an awful run down condition. l had stomach trouble, poor appetite, headaches and was ex- tremely nervous. I also had dizzy spells when my head seemed to be WhirIing round and everything would turn black before my eyes. In fact eyerythin 2 seemed wrong with me. but nothing did me particle of good Everything dis agreed with me and I was eating so lit tie that it was hardly any use for me to where was afraid to eat, and I was so miserable that I would have given any, thing I had for relief
 A brother-in-law of mine in St Louis, Mo-. wrote me a letter suggesting that try Tanlac, and, as had read so
 much about it, bought a bottle By the time l finished my second bottle I was feeling like different man. Well. to say it all in a few words, there's not a one of my old troubles, left I eat and sleep like a child. work hard and feel fine, Tanlac certainly has surprised me. for had no idea it could make me feel an equaI.''
