 MT. Davis in his letter to you some time ago stated that the Boulder Can yon dam was nearer the power mar ket, which he says is the Pacific coast. Are you working to build up the Pacific coast or are you working to build up Arizona? Are you so narrow minded that you can not see that we can build manufacturing in- dustries in this state with power close at hand just the same as California can by taking it 200 or 300 miles Why should you loan your support to California to go into your barnyard and steal your chickens?
 "There is today greater market for power in Arizona than there is in southern California, and I say this authoritatively, not grabbing words out of the air but from investigations made by competent engineers employ ed for the purpose. Why should not Arizona have the first call, and why should not Arizona have the support of it's own people and its own press

lion acre feet, and then because the Boulder Canyon, at $50 feet, is 26,- 100000 acre feet capacity, and Glen Canyon, 23,s00,000 capacity, it is an argument in favor of the Boulder Canyon over the Glen Canyon damsite.
 "It is also amusing to have one like the author of the article in your pa- per settle these questions so com pletely and fully as he has done, when it is stated that for power purposes there is no question as to the super iority of the Boulder Canyon site be- cause it is nearer to the power mar ket, and for water impoundment it has it all over the Glen Canyon site. He speaks with an air of finality that has no need of further testimony.
 "But fortunately you, Arthur P. Davis and Secretary Fall and one or two others are the only ones who think that way.

gel trail?
 Tourist traffic is doubling almost every year and the greater the attrac- tion the Grand Canyon can De made as one of the seven wonders of the world, the greater an asset if would be to Coconino county, as well as all Arizona" declared Hayden. 'It may be that the people here have not wis., ualized the possibilities of the near future and have a local pride in own ing this trail, but it appeals to me that the millions 1 am satisfied con- gress would appropriate under other conditions where Arizona's represen- tatives were not hampered by the trail question, would mean more to local people than the S5,000 revenue received, aside from the development of travel through the county"
 In fairness to Congressman Hay den it may be said that he was no strenuous advocate of selling the trail but was of the opinion that Coconino county and her representatives should give some thought to the idea, which he felt might be of benefit.
 As matter of fact the Grand Can- yon is large order" for any coun- ty, yet Coconino county is the second largest county in the whole United States, if not in the world-that's the second Large order" for her people.
 The most of the people of Coconino county realize the large order of things within our borders and also the fact that locally we can not fi- nance the worlds playground no matter how much we wish to do SO.

ficult one. Appropriations could read fly be secured for park improvements, but the idea of protecting CoconinO county in it's ownership of the trail stands out like sore thumb among members of the appropriation com mittee who feel it should be owned by the government. This was an idea advanced by Park Director Mathers, who wanted the board of supervisors to put a price on the trail and in- sinuated that if it was not right the Park service would ask for an ap- propriation to build a new trail.
 "Of course," said Hayden, "it is probable that Director Mathers might run up against a snag on this prop osition, yet the idea is a real hind rance to what I believe could be done in getting approprations for. the de- velopment of the Grand Canyon. The idea occurs to me that Coconino coun- ty might make profitable trade in selling the trail. 1 understand it brings in about S5000 per year in tolls to the county. It is a hard prop osition to tell the appropriation com mittee we don't want Coconino coun- tvs toll trail endangered, for usually the reply is: What consideration should we give little old county as against the whole United States?'
 "The question is," continued Con- gressman Hayden, wouldn't Coconino county benefit more by the big ap- propriations which could be secured for the development of Grand Canyon National park, than to rhe revenue received from the tolls on Bright An

I have been to Boulder Canyon prob ably a great many more times than Director Davis has; I do not believe that Director Davis has ever been to Diamond Creek or to Glen Canyon; he knows nothing of the Colorado river except what has been given to him by his understudies.
 "I am not worrying about the Boul- der Canyon dam; say to you that the Boulder Canyon dam will never be built, as it is an engineering impos- sibility to build a dam where the depth to bedrock is 136 feet below the water level.

SAVING THE DAY

A certain clergyman's wife poss. esses great tact and quickness of wit One afternoon the parson observed a woman whom he much disliked com ing up his front steps. Taking ref uge in his library on the second floor he left his wife to entertain the visi- tor About half an hour later he came out, listened carefully on the landing and hearing nothing in the living room below, called to his wife:
 Harriet, has that old bore gone ?'
 The disliked person was still in the living room, but the minister's wife proved quite equal to the occasion, for she called back:
 "Yes, dear, she went long ago. Mrs Smith is here now"

 H. B. Carpenter of California, civil engineer who has just completed sur vey of the boundary line between Ari- zona and Utah, says: A strangs thing about the line is that it does not cross foot of cultivated land. And I do not think that any of the land ad- joining the line can ever be cultivated. There are fertile valleys to the north and south of the boundary, which tra- verses a desert, which is cut up by great canyons that are almost im- passible. The length of the line is PIT miles. Landmarks which we To- cated along the line will make it pos sible for the boundary to be located without any difficulty in the future. Just east of the Colorado river a sandstone butte rises 1000 feet above the plain, and, strange enough, the very peak of this butte is exactly on the boundary. We named the peak State Line butte. Not far from this butte is another, which stands 1900 feet above the plain and was named Tower butte. These two gigantic stones will always be guide to per- sons who want to locate the state line.
 -Four Corners is one of the most interesting spots in the United States. It is the point where Colorado, Ari- zona, Utah and New Mexico touch one another. This is the only place in the United States where four states touch. It is in the midst of broken desert and lies a short distance from the San Juan river"

with the other.

There was CONSERVATION in court.
Everybody was on his feet to look after
the prisoner, and at Cell. who was
being hustled out after her. But hardly
had the door closed behind them, when
there was another. cry in court:

hope that the measure Of pardon which.

The tears were rolling down Bessie $
cheeks. but Stowcll saw that she was
still looking up at him with the same
expression.

sentence Of death. None Of it seemed
