mated that population of 100, 100000

which now has only about 100000 in

mountains, gorges, sand and general
desolation and in much of it there is
little that lives except mesquite, coy
natural flow of almost 20,000,000 acre
feet year in the Colorado, but in
spite of this wealth of water the land
lies scorched and SCARED, a verftabfe
blighted region.
The basin is divided into three main
sections-the upper, the middle, and
the lower. The first is that section
lying about the Arizona Utah bound
ary, where in 900 miles the river
drops $500 feet, and includes $4,000
square miles. Four of the states are
included in this upper zone, Utah,
Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico,
and about 100000 acres are now un-

acres are to be added to this by the
project now under consideration, and
it is also possible to develop 100000
horsepower of electric energy. There

of the basin, suitable for the power
development, and these will serve to
stabilize the flow of the river when
the water is diverted for irrigation.
Flood control will be linked up with
the reservoirs and irrigation.
The middle section of the Colorado
includes about 500 miles between the
Arizona Utah boundary and the Ari-
zona-California line, with a drop of
5000 feet in this stretch. There are
1900 square miles in this section,
but not great deal of irrigable
ground. 1t is here, however that the
great power possibilities of the river
are to be found, as 100000 horse
power can be created for factories,
electric railroads, etc.
Three large dams are planned for
this section, one at Lees Ferry, one
at Diamond Creek and one at Boulder
Canyon. At Lees Ferry it is possible
to build dam 700 feet high that will
store 50,000,000 acre feet of water
and develop 100000 horsepower. At

HARVESTING BIG RIVER

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 28.-
A vast reclamation project which
contemplates the subjugation of the
Colorado, that wild and turbulent riv-
er so fraught with possibilities for
good and evil, has been brought to a
stage where its realization is no
longer dream of empire builders. 1t
promises new farm homes for 3,0O0,-
900 people within the next few years
and tremendous industrial develop
ment based on the utilization of part
or all Of 100000 horsepower of cleo
trio energy. 1t is so big that COM
pared with it the construction of the
Panama canal might be called a minor
enterprise and the Suez canal mere
ditch between two oceans.
Seven states, Arizona, California,
Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah
and Wyoming, created commission,
with Herbert Hoover as the guiding
spirit, which worked out an agree
ment or a treaty which requires mere
ly the approval of congress to become
effective after it is ratified by the
legislatures of the several states. An
initial appropriation of $70,000,000 is
asked to launch the undertaking, but
this is but comparatively small part
of the sum that will be expended
eventually.
Fifty millions will be spent first
in the construction of dam at Boul-
der Canyon which will put an end to
the disastrous floods of the Colorado,
and at the same time provide irriga-
tion for 100000 acres of what is
now desert land. The remaining $780,
100000 of the first appropriation will
be devoted to canal which is needed
to furnish water to the Imperial val
ley by an all-United States route in
stead of one that passes partly
through Mexican territory, as at
present.
The United States will be reimburs-
ed for the entire cost of the project,
it is claimed, within a period of 40
years through funds derived from
the sale of power and fees for water
supplied for irrigation purposes.
Embraces a Vast Empire

an empire of 242,000 square miles in

ity of 100000. This dam is expected
to check the annual floods which do
so much damage in the Imperial, CO.
achella and Palo Verde valleys which
are included in the third or lower
section of the Colorado basin.
Better Suited for Farming
This section embraces about $4,000
square miles, with gentle climate,
where continuous agriculture is pos
sible. 1t is rolling country, much
better adapted to farming that either
of the other sections, and about one
million acres are now under irriga-
tion there. This area will be doubled
once the river has been harnessed.
The normal flow of the Colorado
averages almost 20,000,000 acre feet
annually. About one-third of this is
now used, the lower basin utilizing
some 100000. The compact which
the commission has worked out allo-
Gates 8,500,000 acre feet, more than
twice the present requirements, to
the lower section. The upper 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 ap-
portionment, as needs now unforeseen
may develop.
Harnessing the Colorado in accord
ance with the present plans is an un-
dertaking greater in extent, difficult
ties and possibilities than any engin-
eering work since Cecil Rhodes pro-
jected the Cape Cairo railroad in
Africa. Even the great Assouan dam
is comparatively of less Importance.
A great territory will be opened to
agriculture when farming is now i'm
possible, and instead of the country's
depending upon mining, cattle and
sheep, dozen new avenues of activ-
ity 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 large depends
at present may be largely extended,
for the $4,000 square miles in the
basin may contain untold deposits 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 organi-
zation formed to support every move
ment looking to the improvement of
that section of the country. 1t was
the league which influenced largely I
the creation of the Colorado river
which has worked out the
treaty between the states and the
federal government in record-breaking
time, and it is redoubling its efforts
now to see that the compact is rati-
fled by the legislatures of the several
states.
A romantic feature of the project
is to be found in the fact that sur
veys of this far-fetching territory
have disclosed traces of an irrigation
system that was in operation thou
sands of years ago. The story of
what water will do to desert sands
s by no means new one, nor have
the final chapters yet been written.

is able successfully to combat the
germs. This bodily resistance is best
kept up by means of sleep, proper
food, cleansing baths, a cheerful dis
position and chiropractic adjustments.
The adjustments free the impinged
nerves and thus permit the nerve inn
pulses to reach all the organs of the
body in proper strength.
Diseases such as indigestion, torpid
liver, heart trouble, neuritis, neural
gia, constipation, headache, lumbago,
sciatica, malnutrition, asthma and
bronchitis are caused by impinged
nerves, the impingement being at the
vertebrae where the nerves branch off
from the spine. To prevent these dis
eases it is necessary to have the i'm
relieved by having the
vertebrae adjusted by a chiropractor.

HOW YUMA INDIANS PAY
THEIR DOCTOR BILLS

Stump Barley, a Yuma medicine
man, has been murdered, the body
found in his wickiup, with evidence
that someone had crept up while the
victim was asleep and had crushed
his skull by a blow over the right
side, presumably with heavy club.
There is assumption that the killing
was in pursuance of some tribal Gus
tom that threw upon the medicine man
responsibility for failures to cure his
patients.

All sickness has a cause. We can
prevent sickness by removing the
cause of sickness. Sickness is caused
by some organ or organs of the body
failing TO work normally.
Poisons cause few cases of sick
ness, as ptomaine poisoning, tobacco
heart, lead poisoning, delirium tre-
mems and drug addiction. Therefore
we should avoid putrefying foods, to-
bacco, liquor and habit-forming drugs.
Disease-producing bacteria cause
many cases of sickness, as typhoid
fever, tuberculosis, smallpox, diph-
liberia and pneumonia. There are two
parts to the method of preventing
germ diseases. First, use all possible
hygienic and sanitary measures to
prevent the propagation and spread
Of germs. Second, keep up the bodily

ship-building, railroads or airplane
construction and would have prevent
ed other production by mandatory or
der.
Therefore, on account of this situa-
tion there was in 1919, if estimates
are correct, a shortage of houses to
the extent of 3,500,000 homes. That
amount, plus the progressive demand
since that time created by the natural
increase in population, justifies the
assumption that the necessities have
not been cared for.
"The January, 1923, figures on
building permits covered 41, ,78O build
ings costing approximately $2O6, ,339,-

costing $138,799,000 in January, 1922.

$228, ,222, 900 compared with 80, ,I5O
buildings costing $139,919,O00 in Feb
