At the Beach

sts.a sss sEs'
The young man with the freckled
nose and the rubber cap lazily lifted
one brown leg over the other, witch
ed his toes and contentedly surveyed
the crowded beach.
"Geel" he gasped, noticing an ap-
parently sleeping girl to one side of
him. She was dressed in scanty
green bathing suit with red trim
mings. Gee, what a queen!"
The beach was on the fashionable
north shore, and he had vaguely
/ hoped chat some of them society
danes would go swimming there" If
they did, he intended to get a good
slant at one and maybe get acquaint-
ed
Here was his chance. Undoubtedly
that beauty in green was cal swell
dame. He sided up little closer
and sighed again, but little more
loudly.
The young thing in the green suit
also knew of the fashionable location
of the beach and had hoped a million
aire broker or at least for wholesale
grocer. At the boys sigh her eyes
opened hopefully, and after one
glimpse of his fceckled pug nose they
closed again, somewhat hurriedly.
Then she turned her back.
1t occurred to the boy that ifa he
were to gain favor it would be advis-
able to save her from the surging
breakers or some such thing. But
there's nothing doing in that line at
the municipal beach.
So the rest of this story hangs on
the fact that the girl lost her key.
She began to show worry, looking
anxiously about her and digging in the
sand. Horrors, my locker key!" she
said. The boy remembered a phrase
from novel, bowed CALAMITY and
murmured: Madam, may I assist
your"
Gee, he was one Of those high
brows after ALL" thought the girl, and
she nodded smilingly. A few minutes
search and the boy had retrieved the
locker key and ran joyfully into the
water with her. She was lots of fun.
'eYou could never tell" thought hes
'from the way she acts and talks, that
she was not just an ordinary person
instead of a highbrow." He wished
to see her home.
However, there was a fly IN the,
ointment. The elevated would mani
testify not do for such swell. Further
more he knew that he would have TO
court her, take her to elbows and such
things. Shows! They cost money
lots of 1t.
They had a glorious time in the
water. They ran, and splashed, and
swan, and she shrieked prodigiously
every time he Owed at her feet. That
Is an advantage of the beach You
can shrek all you wish without hav'
ing blue-coated gentleman inquire
what the row is about.
They came ashore finally, blue-lip-
ped and shivering, and advanced to-
ward the locker rooms. The boy
meanwhile was searching frantically
in the storehouses of his memory for
another phrase. He found it at last
and popped the question: MAY es-
cort you home, madam"
She eyed him thoughtfu1ly. He look
ed as if he was pretty well hooked.
Anyway she would risk it, and she
gavo her address in a cheap lodging
house district, He was stunned-and
also relieved.
"Good." he managed to stammer.
"Pll wait for you outside. And tonight
we'll go to a movie! How about it?"

DIAMOND CREEK DAM DECREE
MODIFIED BY L. S. COURT

a modification of only few words
but one which opens the door to fu-
ture action by the government in ia
vor of James B. Grand, was ordered
recently by Judge Fred c. Jacobs of
the district federal court at Prescott
in the decree signed by the same
colrt about tel days before aid
which granted a permanent injunc-
tion against Grand and his dam.
The change made by the court, up
on motion filed by James Boyle, an
attorney of Douglas, was the inser-
ton in the decree of the words, 'or
until otherwise authorized by law" 7"
the insertion to follow that part Of
the decree against Girand and the
Colorado River Engineering and De-
velopment company which ordered all
work at the Diamond Greek dam
stopped.
Girand and his associates were en-
joined on July from the continu-
ance of work at Diamond Creek,
where they had planned to erect a
$36,000,000 dam, on the grounds that
the power commission retained the
right to determine many questions
concerning the ability of the permit
tee to construct a permanent water
power dam and that it held wide
discretionary powers in the matter.

TO
BUILD A FINE
RACE TRACK

At a public meeting held in Hol-
brook one night last week at which
about 20 citizens were present, action
was taken toward the building of an
auto race track.
The track is to be located on the
mesa north of Holbrook, about a
mile and one-half from town. Per-
mission has been secured from the
Santa Fe for the use of the land. The
track has been surveyed and part of
it already dragged with grader
County Engineer G. T. West made the
survey He states that the character
of the ground at the point selected
is excellent for track, which will
be mile in extent. 1t is to be oval
in shape. The ends will be raised
about seven or eight feet, SO that the
turns can be made without a reduc
tion of speed 1t is planned to make
it one of the best auto race tracks
in the state.
It is planned to hold several con-
tests a year, as we'll as Indian horse
races, Indian dances and other things
besides auto racing.
