Mason Says Indians Were
First Good Roads Touts

The good roads movement in the
Americas had It's inception at least
500 years ago among the Indians Of
Columbia, DR.. J. Alden Mason, archie
ologist attached to the Field museum
here, has found.
Long before white people had any
thoughts about the two American con.
tinents, the Indians Of Colombia were
walking on stone paved streets, ac-
cording to DR.. Mason. reporting on his
recent visit to the country.
"And at that time the road builders
had some other object in view than
those of today. Instead of building
streets to keep their feet dry. the
natives are said to have been inspired
in all probability by desire to keep
off ticks, minute insects, which infest
the territory"

Benefits of Good Roads
Reach Whole Community

The value of good roads is not to
the tourist from out of the state, nor
to the tourist in the state anything
like it is to the people who live along
that road, who use 1t daily to get to
market, to reach the community school
or to visit other communities on bust
ness or pleasure. Given good road
to church and to school, and whole
community receives the blessings from
it.-AnnistOn Star.

HEARD STATES
HIS PLAN FOR
DEVELOPMENT
Of COLORADO
Continued From Page One

enforcement of all laws including the
prohibition law
Education, he said, is the corner
stone of civilization, and stated that
he wanted every boy and girl in Ari-
Zona to have an opportunity for an
education along modern and efficient
lines.
BY means of stereopticon views the
candidate presented the Heard plan
for the development of the Colorado
river. Flood control, he said, should
be the first step, and this should be
done by federal appropriation. The
second step, he pointed out, should be
the storage of water for irrigation,
and the third, the development of
power.
The prompt development of the riv-
er will be brought about under the
Heard plan, he declared, by the unit
ing OF all interests into one large unit
that will unite all financial resources
and lower the unit cost of construc-
tion. The Colorado river compact, he
said, under the plan, will be ratified
to become effective only when tri-
state treaty has been entered into
with California and Nevada for the
ALLEGATION of the stored waters of the
river and the distribution of the power
developed, looking at all times to the
reservation of sufficient water to re-
claim all possible lands in Arizona,
and the reservation for the use of Ari-
Zona citizens, sufficient of cheap pow
er developed to fill every need in
Arizona. Such treaty, he explained,
will provide a permanent and COM
plete protection of all of Arizona's
rights, present and prospective in the
river, and put an end to much useless
friction, litigation and misunderstood
ing
The plan further provides for the
payment into the state treasury, he
said, of royalty or production tax on
all power developed but delivered and
used outside of the state. This tax,
he said will amount to more than
$1,200,000 annually from one site
alone, that of the Boulder Canyon,
where engineers claim that more than
100000 horsepower of electricity can
be developed.
Because of the shortage of domestic
water and the great need of more
power, California is now ready to en-
ter into such tri-state treaty, he de-
clared, and admitted the business of
the Heard plan for the ALLEGATION of
the water and power and the charg
ing of a royalty tax. Now is the time
to make such a treaty, he asserted,
and there should be no delay in reach
ing such an agreement.
He pointed out that more than 81
100000 horsepower of hydro-electric-
ity can be developed on the river, or
nearly one-half of the total amount of
hydro-electric energy now developed
in the United States, which reports
show to have been little more than
100000 horsepower in 1923.

n n ANY disappointed workers in business,
IVf industry, and the professions bear a
curious resemblance to the bunglng
detectives of a famous mystery story.
These detectives, Questng a stolen object
and satisfied as to the identity of the person
who had stolen it, made a ransacking search
of that persons house, all to no purpose.
They pried, they prOdded they peered for
secret hiding places, finally to retire baffled
Yet all the while the object they sought
was in plain view. The thief had argued that
the last thing these detectives would perceive
was the obvious and on this theory had sue
cessfully hidden the stolen object by not hid
Ing it at all, but leaving it in plain sight.
1t is in this respect--failure to perceive the
obvious-that numerous workers resemble
the stupid detectives of the mystery story.
They are workers who, having been out
distanced in their chosen occupations, cast
about desperately to discover why promotion
has been denied them. Zealousy they search
this way and that seeking the cause in secret
preiudices intrigues, and unfairnesses,
whether on the part of their employers or of
fellow-workers.
All the while they are blind to the real
cause the obvious cause-themselves. And
failing to perceive it, just as the detectives
did. they too continue foiled in the quest
which in their case is the quest of promotion.
They do not see, they ought to see, that
the reason this is denied them is because, in
one way or another, they have compelled
their employers to feel that they do not de-
serve promotion.
Perhaps the trouble with them is that they
are half-hearted. clock-working workers
Perhaps they are dsloyal workers
Perhaps they are workers quite devoid OF
that creative ina gination indispensable to
getting on in the world.
Perhaps they are sullen, grouchy, and I'M
pudent workers.
Perhaps they are workers lacking in the
self-control that must be had before one can
attain control of others.
Perhaps they are workers who DO not
really think about their work even while at
work. and certainly give it never moments
thou ght when away from 1T.
Perhaps they are workers who hate not
only their particular work, but work In
general.
Perhaps they are workers who desire otner
things far more eagerly than they desire
success.
Whatever their shortcomings, they would
recognize them if they would only take look
at themselves.
And if ever they are to win pfomoloh'
however belatedly, into their hearts, into
their minds they must some day look.

MY FAVORITE STORIES
By Irwin S. Cobb


Years ago President Roosevelt was making
one of his speech-making swings through the
west. The special train bearing the presi-
Dental party was roaring through canyon
in Montana on the way to Butte One of the
newspaper men aboard had never before
been in this part of the union.
AS he stood on the rear platform of the
observation car observing the scenery, he
saw, on the farther side of the vast raVine,
a succession of curious-looking orifces in the
face of the gaunt mountain. Distance di-
minished these apertures to minute dimen-
sion but it was evident, even to his mex
perenced eye, that they were artificial and
not natural. Yet about them was no sign Of
human life.
Seemingly they had been abandoned for
long time as the piles of debris at their
mouths were grown up with young bushes.
The newspaper man turned to United
States Senator Carter, of Montana, now de-
ceased but then a power in his own state
and in national politics.
ooh, Senator" asked the curious one,
would you mind telling me what those fun

NeO Cotton Lands

uganda AND KENYA, formerly
l known as British East Africa, are to
be developed for the production of
cotton by the British government. The
Colonial Office has asked the House of Com
mons for an appropriation of $40, 900, 900,
of which one-fourth is to be used in i'm
proving transportation facilities in Ungan-
da 1t is estimated that the lands in ques-
bales, although the last crop in Unganda
was 10000 bales of 400 pounds each
The purpose of the British Colonial Office
to develop the cotton lands of East Africa
is in line with policy that has been fol-
lowed for several years. The British gov
eminent is anxious to increase the cotton
production of her possessions in the hope
that her cotton mills may eventually be-
come independent of American cotton.
The cotton plant is not a new thing in
the territory the British are undertaking to
develop. It has been grown in the section
for some years, but successful production
has been hampered by lack of transporta-
ton facilities and periodical floods.
A railroad was projected by the govern
ment last year from Port Sudan, on the Red
Sea, into the Cash Valley, south of Khar-
tum. 1t afforded encourag cement to the cot
ton growers, and paved the way for the per-
lection of system of drainage and irriga-
ton in the Cash Valley. 1t is believed
that this system eventually will bring
der cultivation approximately 100000 acres
of cotton land.
During the past twenty years. the Sudan
has been a field of many experiences by the
British, and it is believed that within a
short period of time upward of 10000
acres of cotton land will be made available
for cultivation profitably.
1t is undoubtedly true that the ravages
of the boil weevil in the southern cotton
fields have stimulated and encouraged the
British in their quest for new cotton lands
of the government to develop possibly a
million acres of land in East Africa will
see it, before the new fields can come into
competition with American cotton, and in
the meantime there is reason to believe that
southern farmers will have conquered the
boil weevil.
