COLBY NOTES

Yesterday afternoon in the college
chapel at Colby, team 2 of the
classes in debating held their dis
cussion before a large and attenta-
i've audience. The question upon
which the members of the team ar
gued was. Resolved. that the So
called honor system should be estab-
lished at Colby college," The negative
team which was composed of Ii Su,
Paul NJ. Edmunds and Ray Earle,
won the decision over the affirma-
tive team by a good majority as
there proved most conclusively that
the honor system has fallen down in
many colleges and that this same
system lead many of the students
to disregard the rules when they
were placed on their honor in exam
ination and the like. The members
of the negative team were Hiram
Crie. Arthur W. Coulman and Ever
EFT j. Condor.

LONDON, July 13.-England is

First, Dudley Field Malone chose
q London platform to announce
that he will probably be a "sur-

the announcement with great in

tion.
Again London is listening, drink
Ing in the talk Of George Jean and
viewing him with considerable awe
as potential Vice President Of the
United States.
George Jean announces, with all
the solemnity that may be expected
from such an earnest young cru
sader, that his candidacy is mot a
practical joke, but has the serious
object of attacking by ridicule
things which he regards as 'detri-
mental composites and absurd
ties"
Create Much Interest.
The platform Of the two young
reformers Is attracting widespread
attention in England. The serious
minded English can't quite make
up their minds whether American
politics is ridiculous or whether
George Jean is-well, misinformed.
Nathan has announced that the
platform upon which he and Memo

F. c. Orozco Answers His
Makers Call.

F. &. Orozco, old time rancher
and stockman of this section,
died in Phoenix on Monday a. m.
Interment by a large funeral oc-
Cured on Wednesday at the old
Wickenburg cemetery. Deceased
had suffered a series of misfor-
tunes the past few years which
besides i'll health began with the
death of his estimable wife two
years ago. Then followed death
of his brother last year, who
peacefully passed away in his
sleep. After death of his wife,
Mr.. Orozco sold the home place
up the river and deposited the
money in the Central Bank of
Wickenburg. When the crisis in
the affairs of that crooked insti-
tuition were apparent, he drew
out the few thousand dollars he
had therein and then--an evil
genii appeared and talked him
into putting it back again-the
night it closed never to reopen.
1t was his sole reliance in adver-
sity and illness. Ever since that
fateful event, deceased seemed
to have lost heart and also his
usually buoyant bearing. Several
months ago he intimated to our
editor that he was reconciled and
ready for the end which came
not unexpectedly Monday morn
ing. Mr.. Orozco was a singu-
larly good man, liberal in all his
dealings and conscientiously hon
est. Peace to his ashes. He is
survived by two sons and daugh-
ters with their families who live
in this vicinity. and herewith
gratefully extend their heartfelt
thanks to those who assisted in
the final obsequies.

Work, urging them to spend one
day at the Boulder dam site on
their western trip.
Say what you will, the Colo

political issue. While Arizona is
studying the dam sites and other
Colorado river problems, Caiifor-
mans are pulling the political
strings to favor federal water

cans of the west.
A three day session of the
Boulder Dam Association at Full
lerton, Calf, last week is re-
ported as being unanimously in
favor of the Swing-Johnson bill,
Boulder dam site and an all
American Canal.
By virtue of being near the
ocean, Los Angeles has become
great, and nature was partially
responsible. Nature has favored
Arizona by placing wholly within
this state all the dam sites of the
Colorado river. Is it right that
Los Angeles should get equal ad-
vantage with Arizona from the
developed resources of the river?
Does it seem consistent for the
Angel city to profit by favorable
location in one instance, and
profit by a location favorable to
Arizona in another instance?-

That the Marble canyon dam
site on the Colorado will prove

MADDoCK'S SUPPLEMENTAL PACT
Eng. Maddox favors a COM
promise with the state to own or
control the Colorado within it's
boundaries, as there are elements
of weakness, both in ratification
and rejection. "The pacists say
Arizona rights can be secured
subsequently to ratification and
prior to reservoir construction.
Ascertaining and securing these
rights will take as long, or longer
after ratification as before. We
gain nothing by ratification ex-
cept reservoir construction. Why
should Arizona approve the pact

fore arbitratlng to secure its
own"

PACT COMMENT.
Press and Other Sentiments
Reflected By Arizonans.

"A. ". McGregOr or warren:
The people of Arizona will be
called upon to decide whether
they want the Canyon developed
by private corporation or thru
a state ownership plan. The
question is, do we of the present
generation want to see the wide
use of cheap Colorado river
power, or do we want to see the
very limited use of expensive
Colorado river power? Shall we,
thru lack of initiative, neglect
the best interests of the great
southwest and afford protection
to the private power interests of
California? To cry out against
the possible temporary embarass-
ment of these corporations will
turn out like our cries of old
against the embarrassment of Ia
Dor thru the use of such labor
saying inventions as the reaper,
the cotton gin and the spinning
machine.
DO we want to expedite the
solution of the pressing problems
of flood control and water for
reclamation in the lower Colo
rado brsin? This can only be
done thru the development Of
cheap power. :"
Sou. California is making a
strenuous effort to load the Boul-
der canyon dam onto Arizona, ex-
pectlng to reap the first and the
main benefits from the govern
ment when it does the work.
California may have sufficient
political influence and money to
put Arizona on the bum for the
next so years if they can put
their scheme over, but no honest
to-God Arizonan is going to help
them do it. -Coconino Sun.
