PHOENIN. Dec. 20.-Before an audience which filled the high school auditorium. George IT, Maxwell last night attacked the Colorado river compact His address was rather an elaboration of his remarks at the chamber of commerce meeting last Saturday night. He dwelt less. how ever. on the alleged design of the compact. as mask for the socalled Davis plan for the irrigation of Mexi- can lands. and gave more time to what he asserts were defects of the compact under which. he declared Arizona's rights were signed away without compensating benefit.
 Mir Maxwell attacked the theory that the first right 10 the use of the water was its use for agricultural purposes. for that, he said would de stfoy the u>e of it in Arizona for power az against the demands for u in the upper states for aGricul- ,ural purposes.
 He attacked the Boulder Canyon dam site and urged the construction of dam at Glen canyon for flood
 'airol and one at Sentinel on the uiia river for the same purpose Both these projects should be sought. no: iH a bill for the reclamation of arid lands or in d bill making appropria tion for power purposes. but they should be- asked for in the flood con troi bill now before congress.
 He denied that the compact was necessary to avert litigation and de, ciared tha; in the event of the pro posal to erect dam at Glen Canyon for flood control purposes and in the further event that objection should be raised by the upper states they might he asked to designate d reser- walton of all their rights and they would he inserted in the bill.

HIGH SCHOOL OPERETTA

Saturday evening April 8. was one
OF greatest enjoyment for those who
saw the operetta, "The CAPTAIN of
plymouth" The production under
the competent direction of Miss
Cheek had in it nothing of the am
ateur and much of the professional.
The orchestra conducted by Mr. G
"A Goodhall supported soloists and
choruses in its customary style. The
charming setting, painted and ar
ranged by Miss Florence Van Zant,
added picturesque background for
the quaint Puritan costumes. Miss
LaWhead and Miss Thomas deserve
no little praise for coaching the
dances and dramatics. The cos
tunes designed by Miss Mary King
brought forth many exclamations of
delight from the audience.
The cast was admirably well
chosen. Jay Sutherland in the title
role. made his debut in high school
theatrlcals in very creditable man
ner. both as actor and soloist. Nora
Dover quite captivated the audience
by her clear lyric soprano. so in
harmony with the character of the
talrest maiden of Plymouth, Wilbuh
Hensley, as John Alden, added the
role OF the unselfish lover to his al
ready large repertoire Joseph Bah
COCK kept the house in an uproar
by his clever Interpretation of Eras-
mus, the Captains sergeant at-arms
and the "osculating idiot" in the
presence of the fair Mercy. But no
one blamed him when the character
OF Mercy was SO demurely portray
ed by Catherine Bauer. Noel Cald
well added dignity to the play as
Elder Brewster.
One of the hits of the evening
was made by Chief Wattawamut and
his bloodthirsty redskins. Roy Will
liams added to his musical ability.

and customs that created an uncan-
ny atmosphere of reality The In

reservation. The Indian maiden.
Alice Bailey. almost turned the, COM
edy into tragedy by her persistent
efforts to marry the Captain, but
Mister Longfellow saved the day.
The three young lads of the colony
showed us where the Russian ballet
originated, while the sextette of
girls added grace and harmony
The cast was competently sup
ported by the choruses of Puritan
maidens, Indians and soldiers. The
production well merited the praise
it has received and we look forward
with interest to a. similar production
next year.

A couple of hundred of the good
citizens Of Winslow motored out to
Clear Creek last Friday afternoon
in celebration of Arbor Day and as
sisted the Boy Scouts in planting
trees which will afford picnicing
ground for the people of Winslow.
The High School band gave a fine
concert and Judge l.. " Root spoke
briefly on the subject of Arbor Day
and its intimate relationship with
the conservation of our resources.
The great majority of those attend
ing took their luncheons with them
and enjoyed spreading them on the
rocks which bank the stream at the
dam. Altogether it was a most en-
joyable occasion and future genera
tions will undoubtedly find time to
thank the thoughtfulnessl of those
who proposed to spend the day in
the planting of these trees.
