Advantages to be Had With

He Says That City VIII Not Prosper

awe must build the road to Far
fax e we wish to start our journey
toward Greater Alexandria rightly,
declared Hugh I. Clarkson, manager
Of the Chesapeake and Potomac Iele-
phone Company, when asked his o?!n-
ion of the proposed improvements IN
and around our city. He tells US more
Gone might write pages on any OF
the dozen different subjects mention
ed in The Gazette, AMI, yet. unless we
put into practice the things that
should actually be done, our time
taken up on these subjects aval!s MOTH
ing.
Il have been much interested, not
only in the different things our city
is badly in need of, but it has been
really instructive, the different view
points expressed in connection with
these different subjects. It IS difficult
to determine which are the most VI
ta!; after all this question IS only
matter Of opinion.
Suppose, this time, we take up the
question of the improved highway be-
tween Alexandria and Fairfax Court
House. To my mind this is big pro-
;ect. as we'll as most important one.
We often hear it said that no COM
munity can ever hope to progress
without good roads, and ] am salts
fed that we will all accept this. as a
fact without a dissenting voice.
Let US take trip from Alexan-
dria to Fairfax Court House, and on
this trip observe two things only
first, the condition of the road itself;
second. the appearance OF the sur
rounding country. Having completed
!his trip, suppose we go over to wash
ington and take q trip to the same
ooint by the way of Chain Bridge to
Fairfax Court House. and observe
the same two things. The difference IS
so marked that it is hard TO believe
YOU are in the same state; as a mat
ter Of fact, you are in the same coun-
~. Now, what is the consequence!
in the first case you see very lew
truck gardens, or nee looking farms.
The few that do exist find it more con
venient to go miles out of their way
to reach the Fairfax road into Wash
ineton. Consequently Washington gets
the benefit of all the vegetables and
different kinds of products produced
in this section; and our Alexandria
markets depend largely on going over
to Washington and buying these pro-
duets to sell to our Alexandria mar
I;et. BY the time the Alexandria con-
sumcrs buy these products they are
very costly.
"A good road from Alexandra to
Fairfax would change the entire sit
uation. If nothing more, it would do
away with these products having to
pass through several different mark
cts before the consumer has finally
bought them. a good road between the
above points mentioned would certain
iy help to some extent, the high cost
of living. Then too, we have good
neghbors living between Alexandria
and Fairfax Court House, and it
should be our privilege TO cultivate
them, and thereby reap mutual benc-
fit.
"If we confine our improvements
to within our city walls, we may
never expect to grow to any great
extent. Let us all get busy and make
this old historic town of Alexandria
a better and happier place in which
to live"

should Governor Campbell see fit to
grant them.
w. j. Galbraith. attorney general,
one OF the members of the Arizona
commission. declared yesterday that
the measures of relief suggested by
the Joint commission will in no way
ieopardize Arizona property or rights
but will afford only temporary relief
to the Palo Verde valley. There is
only one sure method of flood relief
for the Palo Verde valley, he said, and
that is the construction of a dam at
Boulder Canyon or farther up the
river by means of which the volume
of the river can be controlled.
The Arizona commission, composed
of Mr.. Galbraith, w. s. Noryiel, state
water commissioner, and +. n. Holm
quist, assistant state engineer, ar
rived in Blythe early Sunday morn
ing, where they met the two members
Of the California commission. The
commission, Mr.. Galbraith said, spent
Sunday in going over the Palo Verde
valley and in viewing the two breaks
in the levee.
Approximately $4,000 acres Of farm
lands are inundated with water from
two 10 three inches in depth to 10 or
u feet, he said and all residents of
the district have been driven out.
The spring crops have been ruined,
he declared, and the only hope of the
valley now is to get the flood water
drained off in time to plant fall crops.
The town of Ripley, Mr.. Galbraith
said. is under from 2 to feet of
water.
on Monday the members of the
commission went up the Colorado

Show State Side
In the Problem of
Colorado River

Realizing that confronting Arizona
today is one OF the greatest problems
it Vet has faced-the Colorado river
and the proper utilization of its
wster-and that this problem prob
ably means more TO Arizona than
any other OF the seven states in the
Colorado river basin, the Valley
Luncheon club, in order to get all
the information possible before the
people of Phoenix, has asked A. G.
McGregor of Bisbee, member of the
Arizona Resources board, to tell
something OF his views after having
investigated the matter from many
sides.
The Luncheon club meets at the
Hotel Adams next Wednesday morn
ing at II o'clock sharp. Judge
Frank o. Smith will preside and
on the committee with Judge Smith
are Charles Korrick, George o. Miller,
Charles f. Willis and Joseph r.

In his message to Judge Smith. Mr..
McGresor says: ST will give logical
position for Arizona to take in case
there is a chance to get federal ap-
propriation''

the Colorado river will also be dis
cussed at the luncheon meeting

river to the intake for the Palo Verde
valley and came down the river In a
launch, stopping at numerous places
along the river to view the situation
from the high bluffs on the Arizona
side. The commission inspected the
river a distance of 40 miles to point
below the head OF the Cibola valley.
A public hearing was held by the
commission in Blythe on Tuesday and
number of the officials and resi-
dents of the district were heard on
the matter. The officials of the dis
trict told the commission that they
wanted permission from the governor
of Arizona to make four cuts across
bends in the river on the Arizona side
in order to straighten out the river.
BY making these cuts and straight
ening the river, they said, the current
of the river would be diverted from
the levee and they would be in po-
sition to close up the breaks and
drain the flooded area.
This work, the officials of the dis
trict estimated, would cost approxl-
mately 100000. They stated that they
had sufficient funds to carry out the
work and intimated that they ex-
pected congress to give them some
aid in the matter. Should Governor
Campbell agree to the plan proposed
by the commission, the levee officials
said, they would be ready to start
without delay. ~
A month ago, Mr.. Galbraith said,
the making of a cut across Hauser
bend, on the Arizona side Of the river,
was of prime Importance and was
considered to be the only means of
relief. Within the past few days. he

Stephens of California by the com
mission.
The report was not made public
but is is understood that the first
part OF the report reviews the flood
situation in the Palo Verde valley
and the second part suggests a means
of temporary relief which Arizona can
afford the valley at this time. 1t is
believed that Governor Campbell will
agree to these measures and author
ize the officials OF the Palo Verde
joint levee district to follow the plans
suggested by the commission.
The commission completed three
days inspection trip over the Palo
Verde valley and along the Colorado
river on Tuesday, coming to Phoenix
on Wednesday morning, where they
spent the entire day in formulating
their report. and working out the
plans for the relief of the valley.
Yesterday morning the report was
turned over to Henri Behoteguy. sec
retary to Governor Campbell. who
transmitted the text of the report to
the governor at the industrial school
at Fort Grant At a late hour last
night no word had been received
from the governor concerning his ac-
ton in the matter. as long distance
telephone connection with the school
could not be had on account of a
storm iH the vicinity of Fort Grant.
The commission also sent the re-
port to Governor Stephens by tele-
graph and a message from Sacra :
mento to the governors office here
yesterday stated that the report and
the measures of relief offered were
satisfactory to Governor Stephens

day or two the entire current of
the river will be passing through this

LaF gillette Gone Astray.

Recent acts and words of Senator LaFollette
OF Wisconsin leads to the conviction that the
mental processes of this distinguished gentle
man have gone astray. He has become so i'm
bued and innocuated with ideas foreign to the
spirit of American institutions that it is dan
gerous to continue him in places of trust and
responsibility. In order TO satisfy his spite
and give vent to his rage lie would strike down
the courts of the land. When the nation was
at war he refused to enter whole -heartedly
into support of that war, but by his conduct
and language intimated that it waged for
the purpose of making money, Not once did he
mention the preservation of free government
and the institutions of liberty.
In short Senator LaFollette is lowering be-
tween communism and anarchy and is setting
a dangerous example to the citizens Of the
country. Men in less high places have been
sent TO prison for utterances and acts more
dangerous and insidous. The senator in the
past has performed useful service to his state.
He has taken his place along side the working
men, but once there he has whispered so many
insidious suggestions~into the of his audi
tors that he has sowed the seeds OF discord and
anarchy, where he should have done exactly
the reverse. For these reasons the senator
from Wisconsin has become a merace to the
public peace and safety. He should be muzzled.
