SEVEN STATES UNITE TO
 DEVELOP COLORADO RIVER

Concerted action by the seven in terested states and the federal gov ernment in the developmnt of the power and irrigation possibilities of the Colorado river and its tributar- ies is the expressed aim of the Col orado river commission, permanently organized at a meeting of the state engineers of Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona and Wyoming and represent atives of the United States reclama- tion service.
 Additional states which will have members on the commission are Cal ifornia and New Mexico.
 A tentative bill to be presented to the legislature of the states involved and to congress was adopted by the commission and will call for the per manent appointment by each state of a representative on the commission.
 Frank E. Weymouth, chief engin- .eer of .the reclamation service. was selected a secretary of the organlza- tion and the members pledged them selves to supply him with all avail able data concerning projects planned and prospective calling for the development of the Colorado riv- CT and it's tributaries. This inform ation will be made the basis for con- certed action to be determined upon at future meetings of the commiss- ion.-
 Those who took part in the confer ence included some of the vests best known engineers, including w. s. Norvel, of Arizona.
 Discussion centered about the need for cooperation between the states and the federal government in the development under way and contem- plated, both in the extension of pow CT projects and in irrigation and rec lanation undertakings affecting the waters of the west, especially those of the Colorado river basin.
 Government engineers have work ed out means by which materials for a 500 foot suspension bridge can be packed by mules down narrow trails and the structure erected to span the Colorado river and the Grand Canyon national park, Arizona, mak- ing the north rim accessible to tourists. The north rim, about 15OO feet higher than the south rim, gives new and alluring" views of the can von. announcement from the nation al park service said, but difficulties of getting horses or mules across the river have made it almost unvisited.
 The bridge will be flung across Granite Gorge, about APO feet wide and with virtually perpendicular sides. It will swing 40 feet above the general water level and the bridge materials must be transport ed 10 miles, down Bright Angel trail. The bridge will cost $13,000, and is expected to be ready for the coming summer season.

 A lady in Adamana has revived the almost forgotten art of making cottage cheese, that is, she calls 1t cottage cheese, but the little DOT tion I got seemed like it was the whole house with the sewer system thrown in. Our local butcher MT. Earnest Poole was given very small portion with the result that it stagnated that Poole right now, and little 'Earnie" has been taking alternate doses of Lysol and per manganate ever since Aviator Aims ley informed us that a thin veneer of it spread on the under side of the wings of his plane would lift him straight up in the air without taxi-ing around over the bumps. No doubt about it.

Reynolds received, took and accepted the said deposit while he was engaged in the banking business as president of the Holbrook State Bank, when and while he, the said Louis M.

 On the converting of the grand jury it is very probable that requi- sition will be asked for at least one more unit of the system now help ing to build the new hotel in Albu- querque.
 The system is on the anxious seat and many proposals are being made to get out from under as easily as possible-and their procrastination in letting loose of the loot may end disastrously for the system-so far as enjoying good outdoor air for at least two of them.
 Several propositions are now be- ing considered for the clearing up of Louie and Cousin Jacks financial mess before it gets to the grand jury-and those who know the old sage of the system are of the opin- ion that he will kick in" just to keep the hopefuls out.

BIDS ARE OPENED FOR
 WATER AND SEWER SYSTEM

The council met in adjourned ses- sion Tuesday evening to receive the bids for the installation of a sewer and water system, and also for the construction of the sidewalk along Porter Street.
 There was only one bid for the sidewalk, that of R. C. Whitson, who offered to lay the walk according to specifications for 20 cents a square foot, but owing to an irregularity in the bid it was rejected, but the contract will probably be awarded him at the regular meeting to be held February 9th
 But there was a lot of interest manifested when it came to the bids for the construction of the water and sewer system.
 There were three bids submitted. Claude Fisher, of Phoenix bid $135,- 900 and offered to take the bonds in payment. The Steel Products Co.,, of El Paso, bid S135,0OO and D. K. Ware of Fl Paso bid S152,OOO, also offering to take the bonds in pay ment.

With every tick of the clock the manipulators of the Reynolds sys- tenn of banking, and the men impli- cated in the Wrecking and footing of the Holbrook State Bank are just that much nearer to the bar of jus tice-a ticklish place for a crooked bank president or just a plain sneak thief
 Developments in Albuquerque this week, where the report of the ex- perts is being compiled are said to be of such character that the sys- tem's hair is standing straight up and they are ready for a showdown and in order to facilitate matters ternoon filed with the clerk of the Superior court the amended trans cript and order of commitment, which goes about like this:

E. S. CLARK MOVES TO PHOENIx

E. s. Clark, one time attorney gen. eral and one of the best known and most successful attorneys of the state has moved from Prescott to Phoenix, after a residence in the former city of g years.
 MT. Clark has been a member of the Arizona bar since 1893, being admitted from Coconino county.
 He is a former newspaper man, ex-District Attorney of Yavapai county-and when it comes to im- portant cases is regarded as first choice among the many legal lights of Arizona. He is a big favorite in Northern Arizona and especially in Navajo county, and judging from the support given him in the recent pri- mary election he should have chosen Holbrook instead of Phoenix to drop his anchor-but then attorneys and even newspaper men sometimes slip cog.

None of the bids were in strict compliance with the specifications as many of the essential points in the specifications were obscure to the bidders.
 After discussion of the bids the board agreed to postponement of action until the regular meeting February 9th.
 The matter as to whether or not sufficient water could be obtained was discussed.
 R. c. Kline, of Winslow, Division Engineer of the Santa, Fe was pres ent and told of the difficulties the Santa Fe had encountered in de- veloping sufficient water, and the willingness of the Santa Fe to assist the council in working out a plan for a water supply. The experience of the Santa Fe experts were tend cred the council, without charge, and it is possible that by February 9th plan will be worked out whereby work will be begun on the project at once.

Morgan, of Ada mana, where the Petrified Forest is permanently located, Mrs. Morgan says that the tourists are constantly coming and going to view this most wondrous work of nature and many of them carry away as much as twenty pounds of the wood, but oW- ing to the peculiar climatic condi- tions of Adamana and vicinity the modification of the wood is so rap i'd that one can scarcely notice any reduction in the quantity of 1t. Mrs. Morgan also informed us that all efforts to make the Petrited wood alchohol out of it had failed on account of the very high cost Of extraction"

THINGS DOING IN THE

The Adamana is now drilling at no feet in the cap rock, with indi- cations as promising as ever.
 The work is progressing uninter- ruptedly, although owing to the hard ness of the formation, headway is slow.
 Their geologist advises them that they are very close to the sand re- ported in both the Hopi and Hol- brook wells.
 This sand carries oil-and there is no doubt in the minds of oil men but that the Adamana will be brought in before much more depth is attained.

The ratchet socket which had to be exchanged before the Holbrook well could resume work has arrived and was taken to the we'll yesterday.
 Manager Jack Warden was in town a couple of days this week before leav- ing for the coast where he will meet Geologist Reid in San Francisco to dis cuss present conditions at the we'll, Mir. Marden stated that the showing at the well was more than encouraging, and coming direct from the management, which has always been reticent, this statement should carry considerable weight.
 It is expected that Geologist Major will accompany MT. Warden on his re- turn within the next few days.
