 The boat is expected to dock at San Diego next Saturday, when Smith will be served with papers charging him with felony embezzlement in connection with the closing of the Parker bank, following the discovery of shortage of upwards of $40,00o.

CHEAP POWER WILL BRING REFiNERIES
 INTO THIS STATE

WARREN, Ariz., Aug. 1s.-New Jer- sey. the home Of many copper refin- cries, stands good chance of seeing the sea. of the copper refining indus try moved to Arizona as soon as cheap power is developed from the Colorado River, in the opinion of Gen. John c. Greenway. general man ager of several big mining compan- ;cs in Arizona. New Mexico and Meai- e. and one of the several ArizoraLs interested in the construction Of 200. 900 horsepower dam at Diamond Creek
 There is every reason why inc cop per that is mined and smelted iD Ari zona should be refined and turned in to the finished product in Arizona, ac cording to General Greenway The only reason this is not being done now, he said yesterday. is because power is so expensive in the south west that manufacturing industries cannot be launched with any assur- ance of being operated at profit.
 Arizona produces tons of raw ma terials now that are shipped east to be turned into finished products, General Greenway pointed out. This system will be changed when Arizona gets cheap power from the Colorado River, providing the power is gener- ated and distributed from an Arizona project and not California project. California is trying to grab the pow CT from the river first, for California would far rather see industries es- tabnshed in her state than in Ari- zona
 If the Diamond Greek license is granted by the federal power com mission. Arizona is going to get first call on every bit of power that dam can develop and Arizona is going to collect taxes from the project
