circle dwells sixty million of the pop ulation of the United Stats. Within the western circle there is but about six million.
 It is said to be absolutely axiom atic that population, prosperity and community wealthy follow the exten- sion of power lines, and now that coal and oil are becoming so scarce that they cannot be depended upon as the prime mover for manufacture, trans portation or agricultural intensifica- tion, manufacture is beginning to move to the Southwest, and is only retarded in this movement by the lack of assurance of a sufficiently contin- uous power development to warrant the construction of plants. The South west has in the raw practically every mineral and every raw material which is necessary for manufacture. Even steel is now being sheltered by cleo tricity and the location of steel mills in proximity to the supply of coal and coke is no longer essential. All of these fundamental facts have been taken into very careful consideration by the engineers who have made a study of the Colorado development project and they are absolutely con fident that they are correct in their conclusions that the assurance of speedy development on the Colorado river will at once result in the shift ing of much of the national manu- featuring to the Colorado river basin states.
 The U. s. geological survey people are working with the Edison people. They had planned a survey. So had the Edison people. There was no need of two surveys. So they are working together on 50-50 basis.
 Schenk is live wire. He is a young man, who has had world of experience, and both he and his staff of about twenty men have been work ing almost night and day. At least, they work every hour of daylight, at top speed, and the hours of daylight on the desert are big share of the twenty-four. Schenk is in and out of Flagstaff, travelling between here and the ferry, every few days.
 It will be interesting to Flagstaff people to know that the elevation of Lees Ferry, established few days ago for the first time, is 3,400 feet. A railroad from here involves no great engineering.
 Mir. Schenk believes that this will be his home for a good many years. He hopes so, for he likes Flagstaff and is fascinated with the big project he is now working on. He says Flag staff will be headquarters in all his company's local activities.
 It will be noted from the drawings presented with this article that the project does not in any way encroach on the Grand Canyon National park. "We could put dam and power plant

BODY OF MURDERED MAN
 FOUND IN OLD SHAFT

The body of man, identified by Frank Wilson of Mayer as that of his uncle, Walter Steinbrook, an Arizona pioneer, was found in a four-foot prospector's hole at Minnehaha Flat near Venexia in the Crown King dis trict Friday afternoon. It was wrap ped in gunnysack, tied with ropes and was partially covered with dirt. There was bullet hole in the side of the head and the top of head had been knocked off.
 On December "A of last year, Stien- brook, who is known in Mayer, and is an uncle of Frank Wilson, proprietor of the Mayer pool hall, sold his in- terest in the Shady Dells ranch on the north fork of Blind Indian creek, which he owned with MT. LaGrange. He had been prospecting near Crown King and was living with a woman from Humboldt who ran away from her husband. On that date he sold out all his interests and collected his money intimating that he was going to Mexico or South America. Noth- ing had been seen or heard of him or the woman since.-Prescott Courier.

Tennessee Farmer Wants to go From House to House and Tell Every
 body About Tanlac.

"If I were not so busy with my farm work l would go from house to house and tell the people about Tan lac," said A. J. Livingston, we'll known farmer, living near Ashland, City, Tenn.
 q had stomach and kidney trouble and suffered torment with my back and side. The doctors could do noth- ing for me so wrote to a friend of mine in Nashville about Tanlac and he advised me to try it, saying he had heard so many favorable reports a. bout it and sent me bottle.
 After taking the first bottle I felt so much better that 1 ordered another bottle myself and the result is I am well man. I told friend of mine about it and ordered a bottle for him and he had good results. I can eat anything l want and it don't hurt me and l can sleep like log. To tell you the truth, just simply feel like a new man and have more strengths and energy than 1 have had in yearA It is simply the grandest medicine in the world. l would like to see all of my friends and get those who are suffering to try it and hope you will reach them through this testimonial, which l have gladly given"
 Tanlac, the celebrated medicine, which accomplished such remarkable results in this mans case, is won derful tonic, appetizer and invigorant. It builds up the system, creates a healthy appetite, promotes digestion and assimilation of the food and makes you feel strong, sturdy and well as nature intended.-Advertise- ment.

POWER DEVELOPMENT
 WILL REDUCE RATES

Concerning the $SOO,OOO, ,OOO that is to be spent by the Edison company in the Grand Canyon of Arizona, among the things that can be said in favor of giving the corporation the right to go ahead with their plans, is the fact that the railroads of Arizona and the big light and power companies who for the past quarter century have been getting the rates that have pleas ed them for their production will have the fear put into their souls that they will not have everything to themselv- es and so will come down on their rates, even though it may be long time before we who live in the south end of the state may get the benefit of the power generated by the big plants in the Canyon.--Arizona Cat tleman.

THEN GRASSHOPPERS,
 TO TESTER COLORADO

An army of grasshoppers, estimated by County Farm Agent J. c. Hale to be 15 miles wide and 20 miles deep, is advancing on Fl Paso county, Colorado, from the southwest. In their advance the grasshoppers are destroying virtually all vegetation in their path.
 MT. Hale, accompanied by E. T. Haas, an entomologist of the United States department Of agriculture, will start out to meet the grasshopper army with tons of poison to be dis trlbuted among farmers, who will use it as means of killing the insects.
 The grasshoppers are advancing at the rate of one mile a day. The on- slaught of the grasshopper army is the largest in the history of this sec tion.

that he has run levels and primary line from Lees Ferry to Flagstaff; and the inference from that and con- sidering the immense quantity of supplies and the army of men to be taken back and forth and fed is that a railroad is being contemplated and is more than a possibility. When enc considers that the project involves a total outlay of between $650, ,000, 900 and SS00,0 100000, approximately twice the cost of the Panama canal, a rail road from here to Lees Ferry, as one of the incidental expenses, is only a trife, and likely would effect great economy over other methods of trans portation.

KILLS WIFE AND SELF AT
 HOME OF HER MOTHER

William Kirschenberg Friday after noon killed his wife, firing three shots into her body with a revolver, then turned the weapon on himself and sent a bullet through his heart.
 Kirschenberg entered the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Elizabeth Parish, in Phoenix, shortly after 2:30 o'clock, entering through window in the bathroom. His wife was lying on a bed reading in a screen room ad- joining the bathroom and between which there is a small window. Lock- ing the bathroom door, Kirschenberg quickly crawled through the window. His wife evidently started across the room in alarm as the first bullet was sent across the bed and shattered a mirror at the opposite end of thes room. A second bullet penetrated her back as she sought refuge in room toward the front of the house. The next bullet also was sent through her body and buried itself in the wall near the door of the bathroom. Comered, she evidently turned and received the last bullet through the breast just above the heart.
 Going back into the screen sleeping room where he had fired the first shot, Kirschenberg reloaded the revolver and sent a single fatal shot into his heart. Five empty shells on the floor told the story of the reloading. He used 3S-caliber "five-shooter." One empty shell is unaccounted for. The husband and wife died within a few minutes after the shooting.
 The cause of the double killing is a mystery.

PRESCOTT WILL BE
 RENDEZVOUS JULY 2-5

Prescott will be the redevous for all Arizona during July 2-3-4-5th, when the 1921 Prescott Frontier Days contests will be staged in the Mile High City. At the frontier days grounds today, there are several strings of relay horses, dozens of COW ponies and rope horses. These have come from distances and are waiting for the opening day.
 The high cash purses amounting to S10,000 for broncho riding, bareback broncho riding, bull riding, bull rop- ing, calf-tying, rangeland relay races, cowboys pony express, cow pony ra- ces, wild horse races, Orojana race, bull jogging and other sports of the mountains and plains. Interspersed with these will be wild and woolly, rip-roarin' specialties of man against beast.
 In the worlds championship broncho busting contest, twelve hundred dol lars in cash is awarded and in ad- dltion the winner receives the beau tiful diamond-studded, Worlds cham pionship gold medal, valued at $500 There will be seven ex-world's cham pionship medal holders competing in this event this year. It is estimated by the executive committee that no less than thirty rides will enter the championship broncho bbusting con- test.
 Ropers from California, Texas and Nevada have already entered for the bull roping and calf-tying. The rec ords show that some of the fastest time made in the world has been done on the frontier days grounds at Pres colt. Those desiring to enjoy four days and nights of real western hos pitality, should plan now to spend their vacation where the cool pine breezes of Yavapai blow-at Prescott. July 2-3-4-5th.

ADDITIONAL STATE NEWS
MAPPING NORTHERN ARIZ-
 ONA FROM AN AIRPLANE

Hal H. Bullen, aviator, flew in from Williams Thursday morning of this week and after spending the day here, flew on to Seligmar, accompanied by two engineers, said to be connected with a Salt Lake engineering con cern.
 Bullen is in the employ of this Salt Lake engineering concern and will fly over different points along the Cobra do and the northern part of Arizona while these engineers make maps and sketches. Among other things it is understood the Wallapai Valley will be included in these sketches. The purpose of this work we are not able to learn, but it is presumed that it is connected with Colorado River devel- opment and irrigation.
 Bullen also has a mission of his own in mind. For several weeks he has been trying to secure permit from the government to carry passen- gers from an airdome in Arizona to points over the Grand Canyon.
 He has been unsuccessful on ac- count of report turned in by govern ment aviators to the effect that it was dangerous to fly over the Canyon. Recently the government sent in an other aviator to check up on this mat ter and inasmuch as his report was favorable, the permit will soon be forthcoming.
 Bullen will have an airdome at either Williams, Kingman or Pres colt. He likes the Kingman landing field very much, saying that it was one of the best he has seen in the country.-Kingman Miner.

in the Canyon within the boundaries of the National Park, and it would take person who didn't know its To- cation six weeks to find it," said Mir. Schenk, "but the people of the coun- try do not understand that, and it is better not to encroach upon their park"
 The proposed bridge over the Colo rado at Lees Ferry was mentioned. Don't build it." said Schenk. What's the use? You can't build bridge over reservoir. The thing to do is to put big, safe, power ferry there otherwise this county may sometime have big damage bill to pay for loss of life-and then, if the dam is built, you can put in a big ferry boat and carry across still water; and fish over the edge of the boat if you want to. Say, wouldn't that big reservoir be an elegant place for fishing"
