THINKS SKELETON WAS
 THAT OF CLIFFDWELLER
By INDIAN MILLER Crazy Thunder)

wars. If this American nation would as willingly spend fifty billions in the improvement of our country as it did to spend that sum in the late war we would begin to see the light. Our country would then be a veritable paradise from end to end, and war against us would be impracticable. Ho!
 It is a little more than probable that WAR was the end of the cliff dweller. DROUGHT never did scalp a man or beat his head in with a war club; it never did cut off his hands and feet and carry them away as trophies. No! These are acts of war. Ho!
 The author visited that grave of a hero of other days and ran his fin gers through the dirt. No; it could hardly have been the grave of Ed Roberts. There were no pants but tons, no coat buttons, not fragment of cloth, not even piece of broken glass from a whiskey flask. Ho! No; this was no civilized man.
 But there did come to light few pieces of Indian pottery, painted with beautiful designs. Ho!

BOB TILLMAN'S BARN BURNS

Bob Tillman of Kendrick Park lost his barn by fire Sunday afternoon, along with load of hay, 75 bushels of oats, two sets of harness, moving machinery and other tools, including a canvas binder cover belonging to his neighbor, w. H. Thompson. A piece of rope and pitchfork was all Bob saved. He had been in the barn at noon to feed his mules, but cannot remember whether he was smoking. If he was not, then he believes the fire caught from a spark from the house. The mules broke their matters and escaped. There was no insur- ance.
 The fire burned over about hun dred acres of forest land before 45 men working under forest service leadership could bring it under con tro,, which they succeeded in doing the next day. A big timber tract of the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Go. was barely saved from the fire.

JOHN O. PARSONS ASKS
 REELECTION AS CONSTABLE
 OF FLAGSTAFF PRECINCT

John O. Parsons announces in this issue that he is a candidate, subject to the democratic primaries, for an- other term as constable of the Flag staff precinct.
 John has served this precinct faith fully and well in that capacity for several years. He isn't fellow who has a whole lot to say, but quietly goes about attending to his duties and seeing that they are thoroughly done, and on top of that is a good and high ly respected citizen. He has a way of handling unpleasant matters that fall in line with his work in fair, req sonable and courteous way, always tempering his official activities with good judgment. He is a hard man to beat. If again chosen for the job, he agrees to continue to be as faithful and conscientious as he has always shown himself to be in the past.

McCLINTOCK WINNER AGAINST
 HIS WISH IN BOND LITIGATION

To win out in a law suit only to consider that he is a bad loser is the predicament in which Col. J. H. Mo Clintock, state historian finds himself. McClintock, as a former officer of the national guard and still vitally inter- ested in military affairs, was anxious to have a state armory in Phoenix. With others he worked for the pas sage of bill which would aid in the construction of such building. Then he worked for the passage of certain city bonds to be used in cooperation. The bonds carried, but a legal point arose. Could the city bond itself for property, which, under the law, must become the property of the state. This is what the bond purchaS- CTS wanted to know before they took up the bonds. The only way to settle the matter was through friendly suit, and Colonel McClintock agreed to be the friend"
 Now comes the supreme court with a decision that McClintock's points against the validity of the bonds are we'll taken. He wins the suit but the national guard loses out, and the work of raising funds will have to be started anew, for even the state funds which were set aside for this purpose must revert to the general fund of the state July 1.

THE BIG PINE

Bobby Kimbro and his assistants got out an extra special number of The Pine, the Normal school monthly, from The Suns presses this week. There are eight six-column pages, with profuse illustrations, with many serious articles of an ed cuational nature, besides school and personal news, poetry and liberal sprinkling of keen wit and humor. It's some paper! The Pine staff has set a pace all through the past school year that their successors will have to go some to keep up with. Though we've published the names of the staff before, we'll do it again. Here they are: Robert Kimbro, editor; Madeline editorial; H. M. Challen- der, science; Frances Kapanke, jokes; Helen Maxwell, art; Edith Briscoe, literary; Bessie Kidd, alumni; Ruby juniors; John Hamblin, ad- Miss Mary G. Boyer and John B. Gunter, both members of the faculty, are staff advisers.

PHOENIX COMMERCE CHAMBER
 TO FIGHT AGAINST SWING BILL

Opposition to the Swing bill was unanimously expressed by the board of directors of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce at it's regular meeting and noon luncheon at the Arizona club. A. McGregor, president of the Bisbee Chamber of Commerce, and an authority on Colorado river matters, and J. H. Girard, Phoenix engineer, addressed the meeting on the Swing bill and its possible effect on Arizona if made law. The directors decided to notify all organizations in the state of their action concerning the Swing measure and also to advise Senators Ashurst and Cameron and Congress- man Hayden. The Swing bill, spon- sored by Representative Swing of Cal ifornia, proposes the expenditure of $70,000,000 for dam over the Colo rado river at Boulder canyon.

SHRINERS WILL SEE VOLCANIC
 ACTIVITY ON HAWAIIAN TRIP

Nobles of the Mystic Shrine who participate in the June pilgrimage to Hawaii following the annual conclave of the organization in San Francisco, probably will have an opportunity of viewing the volcano Kilauea in the midst of one of its rare and terrifying spectacular displays, according ito present indications as interpreted by volcanologists at the observatory on the brink of the crater.
 The arrival of the Shrners will CO., incide with the beginning of the sum mer solstice in the third week of June, which brings invariably a great in- crease in volcanic activity because of the unusual stresses placed upon the earth, the volcanologists said. At Kill auea particularly the vast mass of semi-molten rock and lava rises and falls according to the strains of the seasonal periods, and high levels of lava are almost invariably found at the equinoxes and the June and De- cember solstices, the scientists said.

NEED PROMPT ACTION
 TO SAVE ARIZONA

If any other argument were needed to show the necessity of all possible haste in the building of such dams as may be necessary to control the Colorado river floods, it may be found n the unseemly quarrel now going on between California and Arizona in the matter of mutual rights to divert not control-the flow of the stream below Blythe.
 As nearly as it is possible to judge the facts, the California authorities made an attempt to save the lands of the Palo Verde valley from flood dam age by building a series of dykes de- signed to throw the main channel of the stream over to the Arizona side. Not satisfied with this, they proceeded to dredge cut on Arizona soil which would insure the destruction of the Cibola valley and its ultimate trans ference to California.
 This action was headed off by the prompt and energetic action of the state administration, the immediate steps being taken by Attorney Gen eral w. J. Galbraith who made per sonal investigation and who later de- clared that he would call out the Nat ional Guard, if necessary, to protect Arizona's rights. The prevention of the California operations on the Ari- zona side has resulted in the saving of Cibola valley and-perhaps as a sort of retribution-in serious flood ing and immense damage in the Palo Verde valley. Worse than this, the Yuma and Imperial valleys are in real danger from the floods which will reach their peak about the middle of the month.
 All this leads to the conviction that the one and only salvation for ALL agriculture along the Colorado is the immediate building of the Glen Can yon dam which will have behind it an area sufficient to store the entire flow of the river for three years if neces- Sary. Were California alive to her own best interests, she would not al low her policies with reference to the Colorado to be dictated by a set of real estate sharks who want to de- velop an Asiatic empire in Mexico and who care as little for the good of the people of California as they do for the people of Arizona. This state rests secure in the knowledge that the only power development possible on the river lies entirely within Arizona, which owns both sides of the Grand Canyon, and therefore control abso- lutely the power resources of the river, save such as may be developed later at Boulder Canyon, and in which California and Nevada will be allowed to share.
 The 1922 floods will have passed by the end of the month; we may hope that they will do no more than normal damage; the great point is that it is possible to control the 1923 floods if immediate work is begun at Glen Canyon and there should not be moment of unnecessary delay. Washington is a long way from Ari- zOna and governments move slowly, but if Representative Carl Hayden and our two senators will get busy they should, among them, be able to stir the departments to some sort of immediate actiOn.-Jerome News.

PASSENGER ENGINE RUN
 HAS BEEN EXTENDED

Operation of passenger locomotives through from Los Angeles to Wins low will be put into force on June 15, according to an announcement made by Santa Fe officials recently. This will be a run of 601 miles, and is believed to be the longest contin- uous run for locomotives on any rail road in the country.
 The 3700 type of engines will be used on eastbound trains Nos. 2, 22 and 10, westbound trains No. 1, g., and 8, while westbound trains Nos. 7 and 21 and eastbound trains Nos. 8 ana will be hauled by the $500 type.
 The operation of the 3700 type of locomotives will mean the saving of helper engineers on the Cajon Pass grade, this type of engine being rated with sufficient power to pull from 8 to 10 coaches up the grader The $500 and other types of engines formerly used on trains Nos. 2, 22 and 10, pull ed but six coaches, helper engine be- ing used for trains over six cars in length.
 A large saving will also be made in Needles, terminals for the locomotive runs at present.
 A year ago the passenger runs were heightened from Needles to Barstow on to Los Angeles. The run from Winslow to Los Angeles covers the en- tire oil-burning district of the Santa Fe on the Coast Lines. Tests of the water used at various points on the run, developed the fact that no diff ficulty would be experienced from diff ferent chemicals found. The engine. men will continue to make their runs from Needles to Barstow.-Needles Nugget.

EIGHT CANOES WRECKED
TERRIFIC STORM CAUSE

Narrow escapes are common

Jewel special coming to the Liberty
Theatre on Thanksgiving and Friday,
the public will have an opportunity
of seeing the perils in which the star,
House Peters, Virginia Valli, Matt

experiences are corroborated by the
cen in the picture.
1t has seldom happened that a
camera penetrated more than a few
miles into the beautiful wilderness
of Feather River. Reginald Barker
is a director of the widest experience,
but he has never seen so many "close
shaves' in the making of one picture
as there were in "The Storm"
On a narrow mountain stream with
a deadly current and hidden rocks,
Miss Valli and Swickard made eight
trips IN a canoe for thrilling n
If there had been more than eight
canoes, they would have made more!
Each time the canoe was smashed.
That was the only way for the grip
of the current to be broken-rope
the players and drag them out, let
ting the fragile canoes smash. 1t is
all In the picture.

MADE WISE CHOICE OF WIFE
John. Browns Helpmate Apparently
Ideal Woman for Man OF His
Stern Disposition.

John Brown, whose body later on
lay "a-moldering in the grave" once
described the lady who afterwards be-
came his wife as remarkably plain
but neat, Industrious and economical
girl" These latter virtues seem to
have atoned for her want of physical
charm, for he and Dianthe Lusk were
married when she was nineteen and
he was only twenty.
Dianthe was strOng-minded wom-
an. but she made John an excellent
wife. and their twelve years of mar
ried life-terminated by her early
death-were most happy. He was a
man Of decided and violent disposi-
tion. and his wife is said to have pos
sessed the faculty Of getting him to
do as she wished and causing him to
believe that it was his idea all along.
She died in 1882, twelve years after
their marriage and just after the birth
of their seventh child.
