NEWS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 HERE AND THERE IN THE STATE
JAMES GOLFER, PIONEER
 DIES AT PRESCOTT

One of the best known and most beloved of the early pioneers of Ari- zona answered the call of death Mon- day night at S:15 at the Pioneers Home, when James G. Colter, S1, an old Indian fighter and the man who brought the first mower and reaper to the territory, passed to the great Unknown.
 MT. Colter had been seriously ill since January of this year, and his death had been expected by his friends for long.
 MT. Colter came to Arizona first in 1875 with Murray, a blacksmith whose first name is unknown. Colter married Rosa Rudd of Round Valley which now is known as Springerville, and lived on a ranch in the valley, which he sold later to Julius Becker
 Colter was one of a band of six teen men who fought against Geron- imo, the notorious Apache leader. Two of the men were killed and four wounded. Colter was among the wounded, being shot in the leg. This injury caused him some pain during his final illness.
 Fred Colter, the son of the deceased was Governor Hunts choice against Tom Campbell two elections ago. Mir Hunt, who was in the city Monday, went to the Pioneers Home in the af- ternoon, and MT. Colter recognized him, but was too weak to raise his hand to shake hands.-Prescott Cour- fer,

INTERESTING DECISIONS MADE BY HIGH COURT IN
 CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS

The Supreme court has handed down two decisions in criminal cases of more than usual interest.
 In the case of Anna Irene Hopkins, who was tried, found guilty and sem fenced for acid throwing, the upper court affirms the decision of Judge Joseph s. Jenckes, who conducted the trial of the case in Yavapai county, and denies the application for new trial.
 In the case of O. J. Skaggs, an en- tire section of the penal code pertain ing to bastards is thrown out, on the grounds that the rights and remedies it attempts to create are manifestly civil proceeding. The appeal is dis missed for lack of jurisdiction.

THIEF SEARCHES ASH FORK
 FOR SHIRT TO PLEASE HIM

At the hearing yesterday of Co., bino Chaves on charge of insanity, which was filed following his arrest at Ash Fork, after he had burglarized nearly half the town, Chaves told the reason for his queer actions. Some one had stolen his shirt and he set out to secure another one just as good!
 The search was long and perhaps might have been considered perilous by some. Chaves during the course of his hunt for the shirt entered the Harvey house, one rooming house, two hotels, searched many rooms, peered over transoms, and was found leaning over their beds by dozens of startled sleepers whom he awakened.
 Whenever called to, Chaves cried Excuse me-" and fled. When the if nal check was made by all people con- cerned, it was found that one shirt was missing. Chaves doesn't show the shirt, but it is to be wondered what kind of shirt he picked. "When- ever anyone steals anything from me, l steal the same thing from someone else and catch up," Chaves said yes terday.
 Asked if he objected to being sent to the penitentiary Chaves said not particularly, that he would learn a trade there-preferring plastering and blacksmithing. He said he didn't really want to go to prison, but that it didn't particularly matter. The case was continued until next week. If adjudged insane he will be sent to the state hospital, if not, back to Ash Fork for hearing in the justice court for burglary.-Prescott Cour. iar

Especial to The Coconino Sum-
 Declaring that the cooperation giv- en by the newspapers of the state has been an important factor in the success of the organizations work to date, and especially in the success oi Trade at Home Week." May p to 27, the board of directors of the Arizona Industrial Congress unani- mously adopted a resolution extend ing thanks to the press at their meet ing in Nogales Friday. The resolution follows:

 At the close of MT. McGregor's ad- dress, Judge Frank O. Smith, who pre- sided at the luncheon, read the fol- lowing telegram sent under date of June 27 by Congressman Carl Hay den to Harry Welch, secretary of the Phoenix chamber of commerce:
 House irrigation committee has heard Secretary Hoover, Director Da- wis and a number of other persons who favor the Swing Johnson bill but no action was taken and nothing will be done at this session of congress. Other witnesses will appear tomor- row and further testimony will be taken in August or September, when those opposed to the bill will have ample opportunity to be heard.

HOW MUCH DO STRIKES
 COST THE NATION l?

Statistics issued by the department of labor show that strikes in this country average more than 3300 per year. It is not contended by the de- partment that it's figures are accur- ate, since they depend upon newspaper and trade paper reports for the most part, but that they are under, rather than over-statements.
 It is impossible truthfully to esti- mate the average cost of strike, since they vary so in duration, num- Der of workmen affected and economic loss through whatever industry is wholly or partially shut down. But if the most conservative possible es- innate be adopted, and it is consid- cred that the average strike affects 100 workmen, and that the average strike lasts ten days, the total arriv- ed at is 3,300,000 working days lost per year. If the average cost to each workman is $5 per day and the average loss to each industry does not exceed three times the loss to the workmen, then strikes cost this coun- try some S66,000,000 a year.
 It is not believed that these figures are anything but suggestive. The average strike undoubtedly affects thousands, rather than hundreds, and for many more than ten days; few union laborers receive as little as $5 a day, and, of course the industry af- fected suffers out of all proportion to the workmen.
 But, it is pointed out at the capitol if it were true that only $66,000, ,000 were wasted by strikes every year that $66,000,000 spent in proper chan nels on arbitration would undoubtedly stop most if not all the strikes.
 It might be an economic measure to spend a part of it for accurate statistics of strike costs to the coun- try; little education on what it really costs to stop work might make people less willing to indulge in, or cause, strikes.

yon of the Colorado will produce the cheapest power in the world and the citizens of Arizona and California must prevent a power monopoly of the canyon to be managed by the pol iticians of Washington. Understand, 1 do not believe good management of a government owned monopoly is i'm possible. It is impossible, however, by the plan of management now pro- posed"
 Cooperative Plan
 Mr. McGregor then outlined a plan for the management of the power de- velopment through cooperative or ganization of the power users or those who pay the bills, and who would be more vitally interested in good management. He declared that the responsibility of the administra- tion would then fall upon them sub ject to the rulings of the corporation commissions of Arizona and Califor- nia, and the other states using the power, and the government depart ment having jurisdiction. This would remove all these purely engineering and financial questions from inter- state and national politics forever
 How far," MT. McGregor asked, would the federal government get in trying to 'Swing-J Johnson' the re- sources of the state of Texas or the state of California? Why doesn't the government try to nationalize the riv- CT above the mouth of the Green riv. CT? Was greater insult ever offered to the intelligence of the free citi- zens of any state in the union by men in high places, than is now offer. ed to the citizens of Arizona by the authors of the Swing-Joh bill anC its packers in Washington Must Arouse People
 Arizona must be aroused. Cali fornia must be educated. Lees Ferry as compared with the Boulder Canyor will give California flood control il one-third the time, and power at one half the cost" Mir. McGregor declared in closing.
 MT. McGregor estimated that thu cost of the Glen Canyon dam would be about $25, 100000 as compared tt an estimated cost of S55,000,00O fo the Boulder Canyon dam. If manag ed rightly, he said, the Glen Canyon dam would furnish power at approxi mately SIP per horsepower as compar ed to power charge in Arizona nov of $70 per horse power.
 One of the exhibits at the lectur which caused much comment was model relief may made by Major Johl ! D. York, an engineer of New Yorl City. The model was made of plas ter and showed the topography of tn Colorado river canyon from Glen Can yon to the Boulder Canyon.
