THE REFEREE
(By Albert Apple)

Poison
The campaign against wood al
cohol is gaining headway. Five state
legislatures in the middle west have
passed or are considering legislation
making it a murder or rnanslaughter
charge to sell poison booze.
The bootlegger who knowingly
peddles wood alcohol under a coun-
terfeit label kills by premeditation.
At this stage of the game, we
need more attention to prohibition of
poison booze than to prohibition Of
good whiskey. The reckless and
feeble minded must be protected.
Wives
Commotion in Turkey, where they
have new law making marriage
compulsory for men. It's a fool law.
and will not help its purpose--re-
plenishing the Turkish death losses
in war.
War is a biological condition.
And nature, by biology, will re-
place the war losses. Two more gen
erations, and you'll never know there
look over the official nose-count. The
tendency of people, on the average,
is to multiply up to the limit of the
earth's ability to support them.
Sometimes, as in Asia beyond that.
Boom
Our railroads will handle more
tons of freight in 1923 than any year
in the past. So predicts Julius
Kruttschnitt, chairman of the South
ern Pacific's executive board.
He expects particularly heavy
traffic when crops move to market in
the autumn. Wise business men will
figure on a. car shortage then. Heavy
freight movement means a bright
prosperity outlook for all of us. Play
safe. Save for the rainy day. Booms
never last forever. They're always
followed by depression.
Rents
The bottom will fall out Of rents
when there is a housing surplus
more homes for rent than tenants to
fill them. Things are moving in that
direction at last. In the 149 leading
cities building permits taken out in
February totaled nearly PIT million
dollars compared with 1913 million
dollars in February. 1872.
While a lot of this money is go
ing into Office buildings and other
large projects home building also is
eohihS Il b4S spun EfSiy ASW
house that is built weakens the foun-
dation on which stands the landlord
who prof1teers. In this housing
pinch, the landlord contented with a
reasonable return on his investment
is a high-grade citizen.

An airplane manned by Lawrence
b. Sperry takes aboard a fresh sup
ply of fuel, without stopping, while
flying 65 miles an hour. 1t reminds
you Of the express train picking UP
mail bags as it roars through small
towns.
Items like this reveal that the de-
velopn1ent of the airplane is going
ahead swiftly. Sperry's plane weighs
less than 500 pounds. Compare that
with your auto. The flying f1ivver-
cheap, safe-will come.

A painting that took Izso Koves
twenty years to finish is exhibited at
the Anderson galleries in New York.
It's IL by Is feet. Some one found
it in an old cellar in Budapest.

but he died almost in poverty.

Palo Cerde Valleys which are in
cluded in the third or lower section
Of the Colorado Basin.
Better Suited for Farming
This section embraces about $4,000
square miles, with a gentle climate,
where continuous agriculture is pos
sible. 1t is a rolling country, rnuch
better adapted to farming than either
of the other sections, and about one
million acres are now under irriga-
ton there. This area will be doubl-
ed once the river has been harness
ed.
The normal flow of the Colorado
averages almost 100000 acre feet
annually About one-third of this
is now used, the lower basin utiliz-
ing some 3,700.000. The compact
which the Commission has worked
out allocates S,500,000 acre feet,
more than twice the present require
ments, to the lower section. The up
per section is awarded 100000
acre feet, which is also double its
present needs. About 100000
acre feet of the total flow will be
held in reserve for future pportion
T. mt, as needs now unforeseen may
develop.
Harnessing the Colorado in ac-
cordance with the present plans is
an undertaking greater in extent,
difficulties and possibilities than any
engineering work since Cecil Rhodes
projected the Cape-to-Cairo Railroad
in Africa. Even Tie great Assouan
Dam is comparatively Of less impor-
tance. i great territory will be
opened to agriculture where farm
ing is now impossible, and instead OF
the country's depending upon min
ing, cattle and sheep, a dozen new
avenues Of activity will be opened
UP. The industrial development may
be almost anything that cheap power
in almost unlimited quantities can
make it.
Even the mining industry upon
which the territory SO largely de-
pends at present may be largely ex-
tend for the 242,000 square miles
in the basin may contain untold de-
posits Of minerals which have never
as yet been worked because Of the
prohibitive cost of development.
Behind this great enterprise is the
League of the Southwest, an organ
ization formed to support every
movement loOklH5 " tAe 4l4PFoNS-
n1ent of that section of the country.
1t was the League which influenced
largely the creation of the Colorado
River Commission, which has work
ed out the treaty between the States
and the Federal Government in rec
ord breaking time, and it is redoub~
ling its efforts now to see that the
compact is ratified by the Legisla-
lures of the several States.
A romantic feature Of the project
is to be found in the fact that sur
veys of this far-reaching territory
have disclosed traces OF an irriga-
tion systern that was in operation
thousands of years ago. The story
of what water will do to desert sands
is by no means a new one, nor have
the final chapters yet been written.

Last year Mr.. Sullivan related a
pleasing incident to me relative to his
first visit to what is now the splendid
little city of Flagstaff. In the fall
of 1869 the Sullivan-Hance party was
organized at Fort Union, New Mex
leo, for an expedition to Prescott.
There were nineteen members of the
party, which included the late Captain
John Hance, a brother of Judge Hance,
and who passed away several years
ago at Grand Canyon and is buried
there at the spot he loved so well.
The party proceeded through New
Mexico and arrived at or near the
present townsite of Flagstaff on the
afternoon of November 20, 1869. It
was showing, and although the lead
ers were apprehensive about the
weather, they concluded to camp for
the night. As near as / could deter
mine from Mt. Sullivan's description,
the camp site was either at the rocky
point of Elden around which the pres
