GRAZING BILL REDUCES
FEES ON u. S. LAND

Washington.-Th licensing of graz
ing privileges on the public domain
giving homesteaders and present oc-
cupants a preferred status would be
provided in a bill introduced in the
senate by Senator Phipps of Colo
rado.,
Phipps also introduced bill which
would provide a reduction in fees for
grazing livestock on national forest.
The licensing bill would accomplish
its purpose through creation by presi-
Dental proclamation of grazing dis
triets on public lands not adaptable
for farming, which grazing permits
being granted for period not ex-
ceeding ten years. Funds derived
from these permits would be used for
administering the act, with provis-
ion that any excess should be turned
over to the states in which the graz
ing lands are located.
The bill to reduce grazing fees
would provide that maximum and
minimum grazing fees on public for
est lands would be three-fourths of
the rates charged on January /, 1924.
With further provision for paying
half the proceeds to states or terri
tories in which the forests are located,
for use in public school and road de-
velopment.

RANGE CONDITIONS
CONTINUE TO IMPROVE

Moderate to heavy rainfall has been
generally beneficial to ranges; feed
and water are plentiful, and stock is
fair to excellent Sheep are being
moved to desert ranges. In the Ga
merco and Ft. Bayard, N. NJ, sections,
observers report that the range is in
very good condition with water suffi-
cient; some snow is on the ground at
the higher elevations, but the ground
otherwise is bare. In the Douglas,
Ncgales and Stafford districts, the
grass is good and cattle are doing
we'll. In the north-central parts OF
the state, showers have refreshed the
ranges with the result that stock have
had ample water and feed. Farther
north, in the Grand Canyon, Williams
and Holbrook sections, cold weather
has prevailed; the lowest temperature,
s degrees below zero, occurred on the
north rim of the Grand Canyon; here,
also, fourteen inches of snow is re-
ported on the ground. These three
stations also report that the range is
fair to good with water and feed am
pie. The heaviest precipitation occur
red in the north.
The first killing frost of the season
was noted on the 4th. No material
damage, however, was reported, in
asmuch as previous light frosts had
damaged the growing stuff. Citrus
fruit suffered none; growers had pro-
tected young stock, and no harm was
done. In tie Yuma district, tempera-
lures averaged 2 degrees above mr.
NAL, there was less dew than during
the previous ten days, and cotton
picking made good progress Citrus
fruit is said to be Of excellent quality.
Plans for considerable paintings Of
citrus ON the Yuma mesa are being
made.

Arizona trust companies have re-

represents a gain of more than ST.

1.-The position of the trust compan-
les, measured in terms of growth and
prosperity, is an accurate index of the
standing which they have won through
constantly increasing usefulness and a

HOW ERRORS CREEP
INTO NEWSPAPERS

Speaking of newspaper errors the
linotype compositor has an average
of forty chances to make an error on
every line Of type set, or chance Of
making at least 10 900 mistakes a day.
The proofreader can also overlook err
rors, and the corrections marked by
the proof readers are usually made IN
the hurry to get to press.
Getting slugs mixed in making cor
rections is very easy to do, and we
are reminded Of mistake we once
made in this matter, when one of our
subscribers took offense as it occurred
in something in which he was inter-
ested. He stopped the paper, and
then ignored the statement for an adj
vertisement we had run for him, and
we had just been kind enough to print
second obituary notice of his wife
with a card of thanks attached. And
he refused to pay for the card OF
thanks, also. We are going to print
his name some day, in our recollec-
tions, as the meanest man with whom
we ever had any dealings change.

By the winding desert road, Lee
ferry lies 144 miles north Of Flag
staff. The distance by air line would
be a great deal less.
At Lee ferry, Coconino county main
tains boat and boatman for crossing
the Colorado. The ferry boat is the
connecting link between the country
to the south of the river and the Ari-
zona Strip and the Kaibab.
Echo Cliffs, so-named for the re-
markable continuing echoes which
they produce, rise almost sheer from
the north bank of the river for 1000
feet. They are the western face of a
great mass Of the hard, seamless Ma
from Lee ferry.
1t is only $500 feet north in a
straight line through the mass from

a giant horseshoe bend to the east
around the point of the sandstone
mountain 1t is. five miles by the
course of the river from Lee ferry to
Glen Canyon damsite.
A small, sturdy power boat of the
California Edison company, equipped
with a stern wheel, requires three
hours in which to force its way
against the swift, silt-laden stream
over the five miles of tortuous river
course from Lee ferry to Glen canyon.
The return trip down stream with the
current is made in 25 minutes.
The red sandstone cliffs rise from
the river bank, sometimes sheer,
sometimes with steep slopes, for a
thousand to two thousand feet above

stream at the bottom of the deep cleft
only in few favored stretches.
On the south bank of the river a

IRRIGATION NOW SET
TO STIR THE NATION

The prohibition storm having its
center over the capital showed no
signs of subsiding, after a week of
turbulence in which eddies whirled
about the White House, numerous
statements were released from wet
and dry environs, and the issue was
brought further into the open as one
of the questions likely to engage con-
session of congress.
Speaking at the Fifth Baptist
church, Washington, D. c., Wayne B.
Wheeler, counsel for the Anti-saloon
league, dealt with various phases of
the subject, while Representative
Gallivan, democrat, Massachusetts, a
wet leader in congress, issued state
ment answering the attack the
united committee for prohibition en-
forcement made upon President Cool
idge and his administration because of
the alleged lack of enforcement"
Mr. Gallivan suggested shat
President Coolidge be provided with
a uniform, a badge, two six-shooters
and such other insignia of a police
man, and that he be relieved of other
official responsibility inconsistent
with the reasonable and ordinary de-
mands of Clinton N. Howard, Wayne
B. Wheeler, Clarence True Wilson,
Governor Pinchot and few others,
until such time as their demands are
completely and fully satisfied"
He also suggested that "if the prob
lem of the industrial occupation of our
convicts has not been solved, a reason
able number Of them be assigned to
religious missionary work among the
leaders of the Anti-saloon league, the
Methodist board of temperance, pro-
hibition and public morals, the united
committee for prohibition enforcement
and like organizations and associa-
tions indulging in practices that re-
veal the actual need of such service"
Mr.. Wheeler asserted that prohibit
tion "is advancing steadily in spite of
its enemies and some of its misguided
friends"

Glenn Canyon the Practical
Place for Colorado RiUer Dam

Colorado The old dredging steamer
of the company lies half buried and
rotting in the sand on a bar at Lee
ferry.
Between Lee ferry and Glen Can
yon, the stream channel is compara-
lively wide, and there are frequent
sand bars and silt deposits along
either bank Of the river.
AS the boat swings around the last
curve in the channel the vista to the
west reveals the Glen Canyon site
wildly and Enthusiastically to the view
of even the layman.
The cliffs rise 1900 feet straight up
from the river, close in until the chan
mel is barely 600 feet wide. One does
not require engineering training to
realize that here is great natural
damsite.
The hard red sandstone is without
a seam or fracture, lying in one great
unbroken deposit.
It seems that the hand of the Gre
ator can be recognized in Glen Can
yon as two great notches are pointed
out, one in each face of the opposing
cliffs. These great natural clefts cut
into the faces of the cliffs like vertl-
cal scars a hundred feet deep. An en-
inent engineer exclaimed with awe:
Gwen the trenches for anchoring the
abutments of the dam are already

DELPHI f. Carpenter, CoIorado's

Though clouds obscured the heav-

Wana Camp Fire and their guardian,
