 That there will be strong fight made against the attempt of the city of Los Angeles to acquire a permit to develop hydro-electric power in Boulder Canyon became evident to Prescott businessmen last night when the matter of investigating the Los Angeles project was taken up at the chamber of commerce. There hay been previous rumblings of a power fight, and charges of grab" and the like, since some months ago, the news leaked out that Los Ange- les interests were eyeing the dam site.
 An application for permission to develop the site and with it 23,000O,- 900 acre feet of water in Nevada and Arizona, was recently filed with State Water Commissioner w. S. Norvei1 at Phoenix.
 At last nights meeting of the chamber of commerce, letter was read to the members from F. A. Hunter, head of a city survey bu- reau in Washington, D. C., in which it was asked that the chamber of commerce provide information about its power situation, and inviting it to join "us ill keeping the Colorado river from falling into the hands of the city of Los Angeles"
 The matter was referred by the meeting to the agriculture commit tee of which L. L. Bates is chair man. MT. Bates is instructed to in- vestigate and report.
 According to stories current in the press of the, southwest, there has developed a battle between the city of Los Angeles and the Southern California Edison company for con trol of certain water rights in the Colorado basin. The Edison com pany some time previous to the fil- ing of the city of Los Angeles, ask ed the Arizona water commissioner to grant permit to develop power and irrigation water in several parts of the Colorado river basin, believed to be separate sites from the Los Angeles.
 >It was said in connection with the application of the Edison company that its hopes of success lay in its ability to bring abundant capital to bear on the construction, which would require anywhere from $625,- OOO,OOO to $S0O,OO00OO. It was the Edison company's plan to develop hydroelectric power to be used in all of the states adjoining Arizona and in parts of some not. exactly adja- cent.

ROAD EXTENSION TO
 PHOENIX BY WAY OF
 WALNUT GROVE, PLAN

Beyond the limits of Yavapai coun- ty, ranges the vision of the men who are after" the Walnut Grove road. Consunmation of their hopes, they feel, will mean the ultimate construc- ton of the shortest line to Phoenix a route that will rival in convenience, and almost in beauty, the famous Senator territorial highway.
 Chief among arguments ill favor of this road, is that it will open up a territory now assessed at $517,- 274.45, according to the actual fig ures on Brownie Gentry's books, and covering such varied interests as mining, cattle raising, farming and fruit raising.
 Ed Block, one of the chief packers of the proposed road, who has been assured by the board of supervisors that a re-survey will be made and possibly construction done within a short time, has compiled the follow ing reasons why the road should be built to Walnut Grove:
 1. It will reduce the distance be- tween Prescott and Walnut Grove from 38 miles to 16.
 2. The long, steep grade over the Copper Basin divide, covered ill win ter by snowdrifts, will be avoided. No snow will interfere with traffic down the Hassayampa.
 }. There is no projected road i'll the county of similar length, that will benefit as many different branches of industry-mines, ranches, farms, orchards.
 4. The new road will tap large area into which there is now not even a safe burro trail.
 5. The road is completed for six miles out of Prescott toward the Hassayampa. It is known as the Jersey Lily and forms an approach to a rich mining region. Ten miles more of construction would complete the road to Walnut Grove. One and half miles of the ten has been built, but requires regarding to re- duce the grade; three and a half miles of the ten, lying below the Climax mill, is in a flat along the river and would require only cutting brush and clearing of rocks.
 0. The petition of the taxpayers along the proposed route indicates the people of Walnut Grove and Wagoner want an outlet for their produce in the county seat. Prescott is the only city ill the county where there is a large enough market. Min ing interests along the Hassayampa are attracting attention; a goodly number of men is being worked. Considering also the cattle and fruit industries, there is justification for the expenditure involved, and the cost would soon return in added tax able valuations.
 7. Possibly not most important now, but certainly in the future, is the consideration of extending the road to Phoenix. If this short-line is built to the Walnut Grove and Wagoner sections, 1t can later be ex- tended nine miles to the head of Castle creek where it will link up the excellent road to the Castle Hot Springs, and the state will have a new north and south artery. The distance between Prescott and Phoe- nox will be reduced by between 5 and 40 miles. In other words, the road by Castle Hot Springs would compete in shortness with the Black Canyon.

RAIN CEREMONY OF HOP|S WILL BE
 HELD IN AUGUST

Eliminating in the dance of the snake and antelope priests on Au- gust 25 this year, the Hopi rain ceremonial will occur at the mesas during the nine days starting August Is, according to word received here. The feature of the dance will be the Walpi performance, which was the original of the Smoki snake dance held here during the Way Out West celebration, May %.
 In five Hopi Indian villages To- cated about 80 miles north of the Santa Fe railroad in eastern Arizona two fraternities every year co-ope rate in the presentation of a nine days ceremony. They are the Blue and Drab Flute and the Antelope and Snake. In even years the Ante lope and Snake fraternities combine and enact their rites in the villages of Oraibi, Shumopovi and Shipaulovi. In the villages of Mishongnovi and Walpi may be witnessed in the same year the combined ceremonies of the Blue and Drab Flute fraternities.
 In odd numbered years, this year, 1921, being an odd year, at Oraibi, Shumopovi and Shipaulovi are held the Flute ceremonies, and in Mish- ongnovi and Walpi, the Snake-Ante- 1ope ceremonies. As the final days performances do not coincide, one may arrange to witness several of them.
 In each of five villages there are two Flute organizations, one known as the Cakwaleyna, or Blue Flute, the other as the Macilenya, or Drab Flute. The secret rites of these so- cicties are held in secret chamber of a leading members house. Here the altar is erected, prayer offerings are made and sacred traditional songs are sung. On the ninth day there is a public performance at spring near the foot of the mesa.
 At sunrise of the ninth day occurs a spectacular foot race. Analysis of these Flute ceremonies shows them to be elaborate prayers for rain.
 But it is the Antelope-Snake cere- monies that are the most interesting and which attract the tourists from many parts of the country every year.
 These also last nine days, there be- ing elaborate ceremonies for each day, all with much meaning. These lead up to the last day when the snakes are washed and the dances begin.
 The nearest railroad station to these Hopi towns where the dance and other ceremonies take place are Gallup, N. M.; Holbrook, Winslow and Flagstaff, Ariz. Automobile stage lines will run to the Hop1 v1l- Iages from all of these towns.
 The department of the interior re- quires that all visitors to the Hopl Indian reservation shall have a per init issued by the superintendent and United States Indian agent who may be addressed care Hopi Training School, Keam's Canyon, Ariz.
