FOR WESTERN ARIZONA
New Irrigation and Power
Project on Bill Williams
Tributaries.

Los Angeles capital is back OF
a $4,000, 600 project to construct
four dams on Bill Williams river
and its tributaries for water and
power designed for Parker.
Bouse, Swansea. Salome, Wen
den, and Wickenburg. r. M.
Stone of Los Angeles and w. S.
Norveil of Phoenix are represen-
tatives of the new corporation.
Plans call for power dams on
the Trout and Burro creeks and
Santa Maria river, all tributaries
of the Bill Williams, and on the
Bill Williams below the points
where these streams empty into
it. Mr.. Norveil said. The plan
is to put the water of the streams
to double use for power purposes
and later make it available for
the irrigation of approximately
$4,000 acres of rich agricultural
land in the Parker district.
Market for the power is to be
found at the mine plants of the
district within the watershed and
at Seligman, Wickenburg, Bouse
and Parker, Mr.. Noryeil says
the plans provide. No estimate
Of the horsepower to be deveI-
oped at the four power dams was
stated.
The entire project is to be fl
nanced, says Mr.. Norveil, first
by the sale of stock and later
through a bond issue. 1t will
take period of about three
years to complete the power pro
jects and even a greater length
of time to finish the irrigation
project.
An organization has been in
corporated under the state laws
of Arizona to promote the plans
1t is to be known as the Williams
River corporation.
Officers of the new corporation
hope to see actual construction
work started within a period o1
two or three months, the former
state water commissioner de-
clared.

Wickenburg's Future.

Phoenix and Prescott are both
envious of Wickenburg. It's all
because Wickenburg is destined
to be the great trading center of
Western Arizona. An unsur-
passable climate. both winter
and summer, with purest water,
that attracts passengers from
both places to alight from trains
to get a cool, refreshing drink,

day that will make them still more

Additional Briefs.

Last evening one of the most
pleasant affairs of the fall social
season in Wickenburg was en-
loved at the Paul Macker home.
The occasion was in honor of
Mrs. Macker's birthday. Invi-
tations had been sent out to thirty
guests. The evening was spent
in dancing, PLAYING cards and
social conversation. A profusion
of beautiful fall flowers were
used in the decoration of the
home, and a color scheme of pink
and white was carried ont in the
serving of refreshments. The
delicious pink and white birthday
cake received meritorious atten-
ton. The Macker home is known
for its genuine hospitality, so,
needless to say. the guests spent
a delightful evening. The young
people left at late hour, wish
ing the hostess many happy
birthdavs>to come.

RAILROAD WRECK.
Four Killed in Train Disaster
Eight Miles South of Wick
enburg.

During the recent heavy rain
storms and foods innorthern Ari-
zona main line Sta. Fe trains have
been routed from the east thru
Wickenburg to California. One
OF these crack Santa Fe Trans
Continentals piled up in a horri-
be wreck on Thursday after
noon at one of two bad curves
mile or two north Of Hot Springs
junction. The fireman, engineer,
train porter and barber were all
killed. Spreading rails while 60
ing at a speed of 40 miles an hour
are assigned as the cause. The
buffet car being deadheaded thru
next to the tender, was catapul-
ted over onto the engine, while
the tender was thrown clear of
both, high up against an en-
bankment forming one side of
the cut where the curve was the
greatest. One mail car with two
clerks in it was thrown thru the
air to the top Of a high embank-
ment IL feet above the track. A
coroner's jury was assembled at
Wickenburg, while DR.. Copeland
the company physician at this
point, was rushed by auto down
the highway to the scene. Cliff
Elliott the train porter was found
in the overturned car with his
skull fractured and leg torn
completely off; he died shortly
after being extricated,
The names of the dead were
C. I. Timm, a Needles engineer;
E. M. Tuttle, fireman, also from
Needles; Cliff Elliott, the porter
and young Coleman. the barber,
both had families in Chicago. A
brief interview Of our editor with
one of the train crew brought a
complaint that lives of railroad
men are of no consequence, or
the train would have had a pilot
familiar with the road and It's
curves on each engine. as these
crews were new on the run never
having been over them. The
coronor's jury in it's verdict only
found that death resulted from
derallment of the train. The
responsibility of four horrible
deaths is yet to be placed.

PERSONAL MENTION.

A SURPRISE MARRIAGE-Frank
Tarbutton, Wickenburg's popular
merchant, quietly slipped away,
presumably to Prescott, about a
week ago, and came back Friday
morning. According to ancient
history, woman came from the
rib Of man, and the tendency to
hunt that lost rib. at times is an
impulse irresistible, like fever.
Frank had a noticeable attack.
When he came back his friends
recalled certain realty purchases,
and it all became apparent.
His happiness is complete and
and congratulations of his many
friends are universal. His bride
is, or rather was. Miss Blanche
M. Golightly and she halls from
Kings county, Mo. The nuptial
knot was tied at Gallup, where
Frank hastened to meet her. The
latchstring is out and the happy
couple are at home" to friends
in Wickenburg.

NEW DODGE CARS
 ARE EASY RIDERS
Visitors At Brownell Salesroom
 Marvel At Comfort

It is expected that thefts of Dodge Brothers motor cars will be greatly reduced by one of the improvements which Dodge Brothers have incor- porated in their newly designed cars. It is a Yale lock, built into the trans mission, making it possible to double lock the car when idle The lock is fixed in the floor, within easy reach of the driver.
 It is evident from the expressions of buyers and prospective buyers that a decided improvement has been made in the riding qualities of Dodge Brothers motor cars. No one who cal1s' at the Browneu Auto Company to inspect the new line misses an op~ portuntty to sit in the deep and roomy seats and comment >on their exceptional comfort The seats and body are considerably lower than be- fore, not only adding o riding ease, but affording much more leg room.
 In addition, the gear shift lever has been moved forward, giving an unusual amount of room; the instru- ments have been grouped on an at- tractive panel and the leverage of the clutch pedal has been altered in such 9 way that the slightest pres- sure of the foot answers the pur- pose. This latter improvement Is of especial interest to women. who find it; great convenience in driving in heavy traffic.

BAD ROADS NO BAR ID
Enormous Power Makes Car Well Suited For Cross
 Country Travel

The new Peerless car is fast be- coming known throughout the entire country as a wonderfully efficient car for cross-country work, accord- ing to Perry Mccormack, of McCor- mack Brothers, Birmingham Peer less dealers.
 "Svvsr=1 record breaking trips have been made between widely sep arated points, says MT. Mccormack, trips which embraced every con- cIevable kind of road condition. This great eight-cylinder car seems to possess an enormous store of re- serve power, which it's driver may call upon when any unusual ob- stacle, st ch as heavy mud or sand is encountered Its ability to as- cend very steep grades at great speed is remarkable. In fact, 1t is very seldom, indeed, that the driver of the Peerless finds a hill which he cannot easily traverse in high gear, even though the road condi- tions do not allow him to get a start before the ascent of the steep grade
 "Another feature of this new Peerless is it's superb balance. Few cars are able to take the rough places as fast as this car. Its un- usual ease of riding is probably due both to the long vanadilm steel springs as well as the way in which the weight of the car is distributed. But whatever the cause of it, the Peerless driver rarely finds it neces- sary to slacken his speed on ac- count of rough places in the road. This feature, of course, allows him to make better time than the driver of another car which must be slowed down at such places
 There seems to be no limit to the speed of the Peerless. Many owners claim to have driven their cars at speeds well above 70 miles an hour. some of them claiming that they had found roads upon which 1t was possible to sustain such speeds for considerable distances. One thing is certain, the Peerless will travel much faster than the average owner would ever dare to drive It.

a French dentist. He was driven in the car out along the road to Yer sallles on which there are two for midable hills, that of St, Cloud and further on that known as Cote de Pi- cardy, both so long and steep that the local cars do not often make them on high. Our man with his customer went out to the base of these hills and waited for some French-made cars to come along, and then modestly suggested that they a little race on high speed to the top of the hills. This they did for most of the afternoon. all being quite excited with the sport of it, since the little Gray car won out In every instance until demonstrator and cus- toner began to think themselves in- vincible. They easily won out over a number of well-known European makes. Needless to say, the pros pective customer came into town and purchased a Gray.
 ''As to gasoline consumption, our demonstration also showed that the Grays are maintaining the reputation of this wonder car, evidenced by it's trials in America.
 Business conditions are gradually improving on this side, and I look forward to a big sale of American cars in these countries in the near future. The Gray car seems to be just the type of car needed here, and it's success and acceptance on this side is assured"
