OLD STAGE DRIVER
NOW ATTORNEY HERE

F. w. Jacobs, who drove the stage
from Maricopa to Phoenix 40 years
ago, was admitted to practice law in
this state by the supreme Court yes
terday.
In the 40 years he has been away
from Arizona, Mr.. Jacobs has been
determined to return. and after many
and varied experiences in other
states has finally carried out his in
tention. He left here a young man,
and when he registered at the su-
preme court yesterday he gave his
age as 81.
when I left here women were
afraid to go into courtroom, and
court" he said to Eugenia Davis,
clerk.
The only place Mr.. Jacobs recog-
nized in Phoenix was the "big ditch"
back of the postoffice. There, he
said, the Mexicans used to gather to
celebrate San Juan's day.
Phoenix Is a splendidly laid out
city, and though l was looking for
improvements over the time l staged
in here from Maricopa, did not be-
lieve it was anything like it is" said
the pioneer Mr.. Jacobs recalled the
days he drove the freight team for
Pete Bryan when he had the govern
ment contract at Fort Apache.
After experiencing hardships here
the young teamster went to Indiana,
where he studied and practiced law,
going later to Oklahoma. where he
has been established for the past Is
years. He still has a number of
cases pending in the Oklahoma
courts which he win care for be-
sides his local practice. For the
present he is sharing the quarters OF

Arizona must look to agriculture
for its future wealth and prosperity
and in agriculture lies the greatest
opportunity for the newcomer to the
state, in the opinion of Governor
Thomas E. Campbell.
The governor expressed this view
in an article entitled "The Story of
Arizona's Progress which is fea-
tured in the February issue of "The
Earth"
The article is illustrated with
scenes in the Salt River valley, while
the authors picture is incorporated
in the story which follows:
"Arizona, fifth in area among the
states of the Union, has a population
Of but little more than 100000 per-
sons for her 1880 square miles Of
territory. While the population has
increased 63.5 per cent since 1910,
her resources are such as to afford
homes and sustenance for a popula-
ton many times greater than her
present one.
"The state geographically is di-
vided into three sections-mountain
desert and valley. In the mountain
section, which extends from the ex-
treme southeastern corner of the
state, in the form Of an irregular bow,
to point near the western boundary
line, about halfway between the
northern and southern extremities.
stands one of the greatest forests of
commercial pine in the world. The
same section affords vast grazing
ranges for cattle and sheep.
North OF the mountain range lies
the great plateau region. broken by
deep canyons, OF which the far-famed
Grand canyon is the most outstand-
ing example. In the bend of the ir-
regular bow formed by the mountain
chain lie the valleys Of the states
principal water courses which drain
the mountain areas. chief of which
are the valley of the Colorado river.
the valley of the Gila, tributary of
the Colorado, and the valley of the
Salt river. a tributary OF the Gila.
These great alluvial valleys are won
derfully fertile, and where water
from the streams has been applied
to the desert lands stretching away
from the streams. crops in abundance
are produced. Among the mountains
some of the richest copper mines in
the world have been uncovered. and
while Arizona ranks highest as
copper producing state, there are
still vast possibilities for mineral
wealth within her borders which as
yet have not been touched. Intensive
prospecting would undoubtedly un-
cover additional ore bodies.
at is to agriculture, however. that
the state must look for its future
wealth and prosperity. and in agri-
culture. to my mind. lies the greatest
opportunity for the newcomer to our
state. While practically all of the
government, or free land. susceptible
of farming. has been homesteaded
ere this. there are thousands upon
thousands of acres OF desert land
which await but the magic touch of
water to transform them into flow
ering beds. The land is here; the
water is here: it remains but for man
to apply the one to the other to pro-
vide self supporting homes in Ari-

Arizona's Future Prosperity
In Agriculture Campbell

zona for a population many times
greater than her present population.
"The greatest of the states poten-
tial reclamation projects now under
consideration involves the harnessing
of the waters of the mighty Colorado:
a vast undertaking requiring i'm
mense capital. but one that will re-
suit in the reclaiming OF hundreds OF
thousands of acres of desert land,
besides affording a greater horse
power of electrical energy than the
state itself could hope to consume
in many decades, no matter how rapid
its growth.
"The foremost of several feasible
hydro electric projects now under
consideration on the Colorado is the
construction at Bou;der canyon. on
the Arizona Nevada boundary, of a
dam $50 feet in height above the
stream bed. Such a dam. it has been
estimated, would create a reservoir
with a capacity of nearly 32.000,000
acre feet, and the electric energy
generated would total 100000 horse
power. Construction of such dam
would not only forever end the mem
ace of floods on the lower Colorado
and in the Imperial Valley. but would
make available for reclamation of
arid land sufficient to irrigate 100000
acres in the state of Arizona.
Determination of the rights of the
various states involved and those of
the federal government is necessary
before this great undertaking can be
put under way, and for this purpose
there has been created the Colorado
river treaty commission, composed of
representatives of the seven states
lying in the Colorado basin and the
federal government. 1t is expected
that this commission will meet early
in 1922 to study the problems re-
ferred to it, and to draft a definite
agreement as to water rights, power
apportionment, and other questions
now awaiting settlement.
'Tn the valleys already under irri-
cation are many farms of large di-
mensions which, because Of their very
largeness are not cultivated inten-
sively. These, broken up into smaller
holdings, and more intensively
farmed, would now supply homes for
a population several times larger
than the land is at present support
ing. While some 100000 acres of
land in the state are at present un-
der irrigation, the waters of the vari-
Gus streams and tributaries. when
properly conserved and stored, would
suffice to irrigate four or five times
as much land. The states possibili-
ties for irrigation have as yet only
partially been developed.
Summing up. would say that OPP
portunities still are presented to the
lumbermen of the great forests of
standing pine. cedar and oak which
cover the mountain ranges and plat
eaus; that the stockmen would find
opportunity in the vast grazing
ranges yet available; that the miner
would discover opportunities among
the mountain ranges for uncovering
ore deposits and that the husband
man, able to finance himself, would
find opportunities here for Great
ing a home under climatic and soil
conditions which have been held to
be well nigh IDEAL"

JANUARY REPORT
Of WATER USERS

A total Of 2,570,540 kilowatt hours
of power were generated in the pow
er plants of the Salt River Valley
Water Users association during the
month of January, according to re-
port just issued by that company.
Half Of this power was generated by
the Cross Cut plant, which operated
99.4 per cent Of the time, the Chand-
Ter plant coming next with an out
put of 234, $40 kilowatt hours and an
operation of 81.2 per cent.
During the month 31s miles OF new
pump laterals were built miles of
throw down bridges and three miles
of concrete head walls for culverts
constructed, while three miles of new
well sites were fenced. 21h cubic
yards Of concrete was also placed in
January, 615 cubic yards of excava-
tion being made, and 102 yards of dirt
fill, 46S lineal feet of concrete pipe
and 275 feet of corrugated iron pipe
was installed.
Two regular crews were in the
field during the month, and with a
daily average of "A man days and
32 stock days maintenance work was
performed as follows:
One mile of grand canal cleaned,
20 miles of laterals: 80 miles of old
structures reapired: 311 lineal feet
of riprapping built: rs cubic yards
of dry masonry and $40 cubic yards
of dirt fill placed. In addition TO
this work, the Ruth dredger with a
daily average of four man days and
four stock days bermed 26,900 lineal
feet of the Eastern canal and built
four miles of road for machine to
travel on along the canal.
Due to the heavy rains OF early
January, the Cave Creek broke
through the Arizona canal on the
night of the first with flood of ap-
proximately 10000 second feet. Work
was Immediately started on repairs,
with a crew of 81 men and 81 head
OF stock. 4,940 cubic yards of sand
was removed from the Arizona and
410 cubic yards of dirt fill was made
in the Grand canal. All work was
completed within a period of IL days
and water was again running in the
canals on January 13.
Construction of six new pump
houses was completed, three were
painted and concrete work on an
other completed. Work was contin-
ued on widening the Eastern canal,
$3.50 cubic yards of earth being ex-
cavated during the month. On jan
uary 20 both the Monaghan and
Lidgerwood draglines struck heavy
caliche which made ii necessary to
place a crew in the field who put
down and shot $50 feet of holes.
New drainage pumps to the num-
ber of IA have been completed and
the drilling of another is under way.
-Four of these were finished during
January.
Five miles of holes were dug and
eight miles Of poles hauled. Eight
miles OF poles north of Tolleson were

half-million men have received the
benefit that comes TO men who give
their services as scoutmasters and in
other leadership capacities to this
movement. It's attraction to boys
has steadily increased through these
years, and today there are known to
be hundreds of thousands of boys
who wish to become scouts but. must

the time of their arrest. They assert
that Joseph Whittenburg was smok-

the room on South Third street.
That the place has been used as a
