CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY

The Seattle Star last Monday
evening published the following

LEM"
"White Bluffs precinct will have
its problems on election day.
"The reason is that state laws re-
quire that an election board shall con-
sist of an Inspector two judges and
one clerk.
There are only two voters in the
precinct. They are Terry Chambers
and his wife, Rose. This means that
the Chambers family must double up
on election day and both hold two
jobs.
"The law also requires that the polls
must open at o'clock in the morning
and close at 8 o'clock in the evening.
Chambers and his wife can cast
their votes as soon as the polls open
but they must wait around until 8
o'clock to close up, even tho there
are no moro voters in the precinct.
Chambers is also registration officer
and he receives five cents a name for
the entering Of names on the poll
books and five cents name for certi-
flying them to the secretary of state,
making him a grand total of 20 cents
for the work.
"The state law allows SO day for
all poll officials. Chambers and his
wife will have to hold two jobs each
but it is not known whether or not
they will be able to collect double
pay"

ARBOR DAY
PROCLAMATION
+**++++**+++* =

WHEREAS, Chapter 20, Section
1888 of the Civil Code of Arizona,
provides that the governor shall set
aside, by proclamation, annually, a
day to be known as Arbor Day, and,
WHEREAS, Arbor Day should have
even a greater significance than to be
known solely as tree day. 1t should
be broadened in scope SO as to include
the beautifying of waste places, the
policing of streets, alleys, lawns and
vacant lots, repairing, repainting and
decorating of houses, the repair OF
streets and sidewalks, the planting OF
lawns and gardens, the pruning OF
trees and shrubs and the doing of all
those things which are necessary to-
ward making our cities, towns ana
highways more attractive, and,
WHEREAS, Educational institu..
tions, civic organizations, boards OF
supervisors, city and town officials
are urged to arrange for appropriate
observance of Arbor day, 1924, and on
this occasion it should be impressed
upon the minds of all and especially
upon the minds of school children,
what the forests mean to the nation,
and the necessity for planting, caring
for and perpetuating the trees, shrubs
and vines. The grounds surrounding
schools, churches and public institu-
tions of the state should be given
special attention in order that they
may have added beauty in the future
Municipal authorities and civic organ
izations are urged to make special ef-
forts this year to encourage planting
trees and shrubs along public thor
oughfares. Public officials, educa-
tional institutions, civic organizations
and each individual are urged to en-
ter into the spirit of Arbor Day as
suggested by this proclamation ano

High Line Canal Condemned
By Special Board Of Inquirers

construction of a surface canal of
the necessary capacity would be ex-
ceedingly expensive and might be in
feasible.
Throughout its length the main
canal would cross thousands of water
courses varying from small gullies to
deep, wide canyons. This region is
characterized by local storms of very
violent character and at each drain
age crossing adequate provision must
be made for safely carrying storm
waters across the canal. This again
would add to the expense Of the un-
dertaking.
Messrs. Sturtevant and STAN state
that the total length of tunnels will
not exceed 27 miles. Our estimate
is over 80 miles, the tunnel from Sac
raanento valley into Williams River
valley being alone as long as their
total.
The low water level at Spencer
Canyon as determined in the survey
made by the geological survey during
the past summer.is Lip feet 1t will
therefore be necessary to construct a
dam for diversion about 900 feet high
above low water level. 1t is not known
how far below water level satisfactory
foundations can be made.
With our present knowledge of the
principles of dam design it is ques-
tionable whether dam from 900 to
1000 feet high, developing stresses
within ordinary allowable limits, is
practicable or economically feasible.
1t is known that the upper 200 feet
of this dam would have shale abut-
ments which probably would not be
found permissible in a dam of this
character.
There is still to be considered a diff
ficulty which is perhaps the most
serious of all-the operation of a
canal system TOO miles long with 500
miles of main canal in rough, noun
famous country. The difficulties of
handling a river with three times the
low water flow of the Colorado river
along canyon walls, rough lava
mountain slopes, and across wide
detrital washes for 500 miles are hard
to visualize and one break in this
conal would mean the shutting off Of
water to this entire area for period
which would ruin crops. A storage
and regulating reservoir on the canal
line near the irrigable area Of suf-
ficient capacity to tide over such an
emergency or ineed to meet the or
dinary requirements in operating so
huge a system, seems to be unavall-
| able and no mention OF such a nee
essary adjunct to the system has
been made by the promoters.
Messrs. Sturtevant and STAN state
that the construction cost of their
project, including dam, highline canal
and lateral canals, would be $29O,OOO,-
900. 1t is thought that the actual con-
struction cost of such a project, if
| indeed it is feasible at all, would far
exceed this estimate.
We consider that this project is in
advisable and is not worthy of serious
consideration.
The members of the board of en-
gineers signing the report include:
Spencer Cosby, corps of engineers, U.
S. A.; w. Kelly, chief engineer, fed
| eral power commission; e. B. Debler,

fication branch, geological survey; F.

FEDERAL JUDGE STOPS
DIAMOND CREEK WORK

Construction work on the $9,OOO,-
600 Diamond Creek power dam was
halted Saturday as a result of tenn
porary restraining order issued by
United States District Judge Fred Z.
Jacobs during the morning against
James B. Grand, Phoenix engineer
and father of the project.
Although work was started on the
dam in December it ceased IN oDed-
ience to the order. Mr.. Girand de-
clared that he will pursue his flght
before the federal power commission
until all legal obstacles to the contin-
uation of the dam have been removed.
"Of course am disappointed Dy
the outcome of today's hearing" Mr.
Grand declared. sit means delay Tor
me and delay in the development OF
the project.
an my opinion, there is no ques--
tion about the ultimate granting o.
the necessary license, nor any doupt
as to the ultimate completion OF tne
dam. Pm Just as strong as when l
started 10 years ago and l can stay
with it 10 years longer If necessary.
The hearing before Judge JACOBS
regarded as involving among tne most
important actions ever presented to
an Arizona court, was disposed OF
with a dispatch which surprised even
court officials. Less than 80 minutes
elapsed between the time OF calling
the hearing and the rendering OF a
ruling. In that period Mr.. Girand,
answer to the governments appllca.-
ton for an injunction was presented
arguments were heard and time was
taken for a brief advisement.

General Goethals said that only un-
der conditions which existed at Pana-
ma, when he, Gas czar," ruled the 18TH
mus, could he recommend the govern
ment undertaking the venture. In
the days of the Panama project, he
said, he was Judge, jury and eXecu-
TONER" and only thus could he have
handled effectively such veXing prob
lens as working conditions political
appointees and the like.
Private development under the fed
eral water proven act he pointed out,
would safeguard the government, and
also insure capital when needed.
Asserting the flood menace made it
"unbusinesslike to defer action" Gen
eral Goethals recommended that the
Imperial valley be protected by a 1000
foot dam, which would hold 81,000,
900 cubic acre feet. He advised a
rock-filled dam as best adapted to
withstand possible earthquake dam
age. Greater elimination of salt de-
posits and longer life, he explained,
were the advantages of a dam of that
size over smaller one.
Comprehensive development to in
clude power production, flood control,
irrigation and other features, he de-
clared, should be included in the prof.
ect.
Mr.. Stetson, who also appeared be-
fore the committee, explained contem-
plated development under bid for
water power right which he has filed
with the federal power commission.
The plan would provide for develop
ment by private interests with finan-
cial assistance from the government.
