RIGHT DEVELOPMENT
 OF RIVER WOULD MAKE LASTING PROSPERITY

Recent newspaper dispatches quoted Tn the current number of the Literary Digest state that the hydro-electric plants in Italy are being forced to close down for lack of water. The severe winter has prevented the nat ural run-off from the mountains and in consequence, the streams that fur nished the power are so reduced in volume that power production has become impossible.
 It is a far cry from Arizona to Italy, but yet we may learn a lesson from the plight in which the power producers of that country find them selves and may discern another argu- ment for the construction of the Glen Canyon dam as the first step in the development of the power and irriga- tion possibilities in the Colorado river.
 Engineers of undoubted ability have certified that this dam can be constructed easily and cheaply to conserve, if necessary, the entire flow of the river for period of three years, forming practically inexhaus- tible reservoir that will render for
 
 the power plants below it.
 It is hard to understand how and why it is that with few notable ex- captions, the press and people of the state are not bestirring themselves more actively in this matter. We all have personal and direct interest in the development of our greatest nat ural asset; the development of five or six million of horsepower, worth at the lowest computation $100 per horsepower year, means half a bill lion dollars of annual revenue, to say nothing of the irrigation possibilities. It means the economic and industrial salvation of the state; it means vast increases of the opportunities for la Dor; vast increases in the market for our farm and range products; low cred taxes; increased population; in creased wealth; everything that we need and most desire. And yet there is an absolutely incomprehensible la.k of interest in the entire subject. The very people who will benefit the post seem oblivious of the conditions and the facts and seem willing tJ sit quietly by and see our most precious natural resource taken from us largely to found an Asiatic empire at our very doors, in any case NOT de- veloped in the interest and for the benefit of our state. Unless we be- stir ourselves and show more interest than we have shown to date, the enemies of Arizona will have worked their will upon us and robbed us of an asset that can not be duplicated anywhere else upon Gods footstool.

LIVESTOCK AND
 RANGES IN ARIZONA
LIGHT RAINFALL HELPS
 ARIZONA RANGES

Light rainfall in localities in the north and northeastern section of the district has aided considerably in the development of range grass. Reports to the weather bureau indicate the i'm provement of ranges in the vicinity of Pinto, Prescott and Thatcher and a slight improvement of stock in many sections. In the northeastern section where rain has been badly needed for many weeks a moderate rainfall during the past week started the grass growing nicely. Better con- ditions prevail in the Prescott section and in the Fort Apache reservation good conditions continue. At Pine dale new feed has been helpful but the season is reported backward and cattle thin.
 Crop Progress
 Under the influence of higher tenn peratures all vegetation has made rapid advance during the week. Early planted cotton has made the second joint and in many places plants are six inches high. Where replanted, cotton is making sturdy growth and presents a uniform and healthy ap- pearance. Potatoes are doing ex- tremely we'll and recent weather con- ditions have been favorable for a large yield. Cantaloupes are coming on nicely notwithstanding attacks of aphis which is also reported to in- fest cotton and potatoes. First cut ting of alfalfa in the Salt River val ley is reported as poor and light ow- ing to the effects of cold weather. Barley is turning yellow and a con- siderable amount of grain hay is be- ing cut. Grapes are blooming in the Yuma section, summer squash is on the market and string beans are ap- bearing. Annual shipment of date stock from Yuma has been complet- ed, the greater part going to Indio, California.

NO SHRINE CEREMONIAL
 AT PHOENIX IN MAY

The spring ceremonial which was to be held in Phoenix May the 18th has been postponed to November, dur ing the week of the fair.
 The adverse industrial conditions in our state indicated in reports from every section, will not warrant cer- emonial at this time.
 It was the desire and the intention of the working committee to give the best time ever had and pull off cer- emonial that would eclipse all former efforts.
 Potentate Bledsoe says:
 T feel that this postponement conserves the best interests of our Temple. l earnestly urge every noble to employ his best efforts to the end that our ceremonial in November will be the biggest and best ever put on by Fl Zaribah."

LIFE IS JUST ONE BLAMED
 P. s. AFTER ANOTHER

"A raw deap' is the verdict of fair minded persons acquainted with the facts in the case.
 There appeared in the last issue of "Sun" a copy of my letter to the board of supervisors. This claim for damages was made at the suggestion of Governor Campbell, to whom 1 narrated the true facts in the case. The money consideration was second ary throughout with me. As I stated in my letter to the governor, it was the principle at stake that was of importance.
 Should law that is supposed to protect life and property, show an ut- ter disregard for the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens when it's machinery is in motion?
 The unsigned article that accom- panied my letter was of a scurrilious nature, cheap witticisms, hixed with statements not true to fact. Malicious ridicule added insult to injury. And of such is the Kingdom of Darkness. Coconino County is certainly to be complimented on the vigilant guard kept against petty looters from the outside, who would deplete the treas ury.
 regret that I have not with me the governors letter, so that you might read verbatim copy of it.
 If I am Sib I will dub the anony- nous writer Glib.
 Yours for justice and square deal.

TRADE AT HOME
 MEANS PROSPERITY

You prosper as your town pros- pers; trade at home and everyone will benefit"
 For the first time in the history of the state, business men of Arizona are setting about to drive home to the buying public the fact that keep ing home money at home is one of the fundamentals of prosperity, in which all share. They are going to do it by concerted effort, during Trade At Home-Buy Arizona Prod ucts" week, which will be observed throughout the state May 22 to 27.
 The Trade At Home-Buy Ari- zona Products Week" was suggested by the Arizona Industrial Congress, and taken up by most of the civic and commercial organizations of the state. The result is that most cities of Arizona will have real, live cam- paign.
 In every case the campaign will be conducted by the local chamber of commerce or commercial club, the congress cooperating with each to make the movement statewide. Many organizations are planning to make the week a regular celebration, with displays and the like.
 The one point which will be em- phasized in every town during the week is that every householder will help himself by patronizing his home merchants and business men. Poor business directly or indirectly affects every citizen, and good business means better pay and more work for everybody. Every dollar that is spent outside ones home town hurts that town, the spender with the rest. The only way to bring back prosperity is to keep the money at home.
 With the trade-at-home idea will be emphasized the direct benefits of using home and state products. Using Arizona products means increasing the production and hence the invested capital of the agricultural and man. ufacturing industries of the state. And helping these industries to pros per means more taxable assets, with lower individual taxes; it means that more money will be brought into the state and spent in the state, and that everyone will share in the prosperity brought by better business conditions.
 The facts are the same in both cases. "You prosper as your town and your state prosper; keep your money at home and all will benefit"

BOY ROBBED, SHOT AND
 THROWN FROM TRAIN

Describing the shooting of Hugh Kennedy, IT, of Mayfield, Okla, MT Connor said the assault took place a mile west of Seligman Thursday night at 11:30. Kennedy was robbed of $4 by two men on a freight train They had all been in the same box car, other reports say, and after shooting Kennedy and getting his money, he was thrown from the train Kennedy, before his death, left a de- scription of the two men.
 One bullet, says MT. Connor's wire entered the top of his right shoulder passing down the right side of the spine to the seventh rib, where it was removed. The other bullet en- tered near the end of the ninth rib in front, passing across the abdomen in front, and coming out at the point of the left hip.
 Thomas Quinn and Joe Patterson are being held in Albuquerque on the suspicion that they may be the mur- derers of Hugh Kennedy, who was beaten, robbed, shot and thrown off train at Seligman April 27.
 According to advices sent to Pres colt, the two who were arrested in Albuquerque answer the descriptions given of his assailants by Kennedy shortly before his death.
 A deputy sheriff will leave for AL to bring the two suspected men back to this state.
 At the sheriff's office, no details of the arrest could be learned. "We suspect that we may have some sus- poets arrested somewhere was all that Sheriff Warren Davis would say. Prescott Courier.
