GRAND ASKS COURT TO.
MODIFY ORDER HALTTNC.
DIAMOND CREEK PROJECT

Attorneys representing James B.
Grand, Phoenix engineer, on Friday
filed an application with the United
States district court at Prescott ask
ing for hearing on a petition for
modification Of permanent injunc-
tion recently granted to the govern
ment restraining Giraad Interests
from building hydro-electric power
dam on the Colorado river.
The action was based on the hyp-
othesis that the federal water power
commission, which declined to sanction
the project, might reverse its decision
and restore to Mr.. Girand and the
Diamond Creek Development comp
any the right to. resume construction.
Preliminary work on the dam was
begun by Grand workmen last Dec
ember and was continued until the
federal court issued the injunction
upon the application of the govern
ment.
Mr.. Girand's attorneys contend the
court order is unequivocal and that, in
event the power commission changes
its policy toward the project, the
company still would be without auth
ority to construct the dam. Federal
Judge Fred G.. Jacobs indicated, ac-
cording to the attorneys, that hear
ing on the petition would be granted
July 28.

ious querists after knowledge who
are looking for everything from the
definition of some obscure word that
is contained in no dictionary or ency-
clopoedia to the cleaning up of some
difficult chronological, biological or
archaeological problem. These seek
ers after knowledge seldom go away
without what they came after.
There are so many things crowd
ing into minds for mention. Things
about the curriculum, the buildings,
the this and that and the other. The
bleachers to be erected on McMullen
athletic field, the new roof to be put
on Taylor hall, the many square rods
of new lawn nicely growing, the
many trees planted last spring. But
these merely physical things will have
to be passed over.
Let's take up a hobby, dream, if
you will, of President McMullen. It's
SO original it's startling. Then, the

are well made, strong, nicely painted
in whatever colors seem most appro-
pirate. They are things which, ac-
cording to their character, people, ac-
cording to their age, would like to re-
ceive for gifts.
President McMullen has applica-
tions from hundred or so young peo>
pie who want to come to the Normal
school to study, and can't come unless
they can be at least partly self-sup-
porting while they are here.
His dream is a toy factory, the self
supporting students to make toys, the
proceeds of their sale to be returned
to them. He believes a student under
such plan could work his or her way

PROCLAMATION OF
NATIONAL DEFENSE DAY

Whereas, under the provisions of
the National Defense act Of the Unit
ed States providing for an army of
the United States and its component
parts, provision has been made in
time of necessity for calling to the
colors all of the organized and unor-
ganized man power of the several
states qualified for military service;
and
Whereas, the military authorities Of
the United States have designated Fri
day, September IL, 1924, the anniver-
sary Of the battle of st. Mihiel, for a
peace time test of the national mo-
bilization made in pursuant TO law;
Now, Therefore, |, George w. p.
Hunt, governor of Arizona, do hereby
request and urge that each and every
citizen of the state assist and cooper
ate with those who may be appointed
to carry out the test mobilization Of
the states military resources, in ac-
cordance with the spirit and purpose
of the law providing for the National
Defense. City and county officers,
civic and patriotic clubs, religious and
educational bodies and organizations
are cordially invited to unite in this
opportunity to demonstrate our loyal
ty, our will and purpose in time of
need to defend this, our country. Our
citizens are invited to contrast and
compare this rational system of pre-
paredness for national defense with
the militaristic system of many ma
tions before the World war, in main
tanning enormous armies, and also to
compare this policy with our former
policy of indifference and neglect that
cost US so dearly in lives and waste
of national resources during the late
war. Only our apparent indifference
and helplessness of a rich nation, un-
prepared for defense, provoked the at
tacEs on our neutrality that led US in
to war. Let us show that Arizona in
the future will be able to maintain the
record she made in the last war when
she filled or overfilled every call made
upon her under the draft, and let US
make this demonstration of prepared
ness for defense against aggression
such as will be a credit to our state.
Given under my hand and executive
seal this 1st day of August, 1924.
