If the Boulder Canyon project
may be- said to have a primary pur-
pose, that purpose is the protection
of the Imperial, Yuma and Palo
Verde valleys from the menace of
the now unrcstraincd floods OF the
Colorado river.
The flood menace to these sec
tons is generally recognized. Its
nature, seriousness and immincncv,
however arc not so widely under
stood.
\ flood at best is serious. Human
lives are taken, property injured
and damaged and perhaps destroy
ed. But a flood on the Mississippi,
the Ohio, the Miami, is a matter of
q day, 4 weak or of two weeks
The water then recedes and the
damage and destruction worked are
gradually made good.
Not so with 4 flood in the I'M.
pcria! Valley. There flood means
rendering homeless some 10000
people, the destruction of over 500
00C, 900 of wealth, the permanent
submWgence of 4 rich and populous
valley.
From Yuma to the Gulf of Cali
fornia. the Colorado river, through
the gradual deposit of sediment, has
built up 4 fan n-shaped ridge of silt,
cutting off what was formerly the
upper end of the Gulf of Califor-
MIA, and leaving what is now I'm
perial Valley. The Valley lies some
250 or more feet below the top of
his silt ridge, along which the Col
orado takes its shifting and uncer-
tain course. 1t has no outlet. Once
the river breaks from its channel
and discharges into the valley, only
the slow process of evaporation will
unwatcr the farms and towns flood

Calls On President To Mitigate Sentence
 of Colonel Mitchell

WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. p. (P) Tillman called on the granite faced and granite stat ute of the President to mitigate the sentence of Col. Mitchell, and liken the Colonel to that of Captain Drey- fus of baseball fame. He predicted the country will realize it punished a hero.
 A proposal to repeal the $100,000,- 900 of automobile and admission tax es was retained by the House in the new tax reduction bill which was made by Senator Smoot of the Sen- ate Finance Committee as the Upper House prepared for consideration of the measures involved.
 Congressional leaders informed the President that an agreement has been reached on tn program of carrying out his recommendation, and ignor- ing the demands that the government enter into business and fix the prices of wheat

LON CHANEY, HE" IN STRONG DRAMA
 OF CIRCUS TROUPE
NORMA SHEARER, JOHN GILBERT AND FULLY MARSHALL ARE
 IN GREAT CAST TONlTE
TELLS AN UNUSUAL STORY
Clowns Tragedy a Mixture of Real ism, Romance and Rhapsody.

With a European circus as the To- cale, and a tragic clown as the cen- tral character, -Goldwyn- May CTS He Who Gets Slapped" which is on tonight at the Liberty Thea ter, is declared to be one of the most unusual pictures of the season.
 He Who Gets Slapped' is the story of brilliant scientist, who is deserted by his wife, and whose life work is stolen by his patron and friend. HE" embittered, and seek ing forgetfulness, becomes clown in a French circus This is the be- ginning of the story, and the picture carries it's audience into the back stage of a European circus, with the story told by clowns, acrobats, trick riders and the other performers of the hippodrome.
 The picture was directed by Victor Seastrom, the noted Swedish actor producer, and has proved an excellent vehicle for his technique and strong dramatic sense. The story is one of the most tragic and dramatic ever screened, and the locale of the cir GUS provides many colorful settings and much interesting atmosphere
 Lon Chaney, king of character ac- tors and makeup wizards, plays the leading male role, that of the un- happy clown, "He," and it is reported he has made it one of his greatest characterizations. Norma Shearer and John Gilbert play the romantic leads. The supporting cast includes Fully Marshall, Ford Sterling, Marc McDermott.
 The story was adapted from the play of the same name by Leonid Andreyev, one of the foremost mod ern Russian playwrights, and was adapted to the screen by Carey Will son.

Governor George w. F. Hunt, of Arizona, may call out the State troops to protect State Rights" in the Kaibab National Forest. The an- nouncement came as a result of the Government not permitting the hunt ing season to be extended, which the Goveror and Forestry officials want ed done. The forest is being over run with deer who are destroying the vegetation and the hunting sea- son is too short to eliminate any large amount of them. Governor Hunt claims it is not the deer, but whether or not the Government may invade the sovereign State and claim ownership of it's resources.

Due to the fact that other states got
into the game before we did, they have
greater contact with growers and deal
ers, but the publicity obtained from
| these tests has been widespread and it
is plainly evident that Montana stock
is becoming widely and favorably
known.
At the present time the Southern
| states have a demand for approximate
ly 700 carloads of certified | 81
Triumph potatoes to be used for seed
purposes. 1t is estimated, however,
that the South uses roughly around
5000 to 1000 carloads of potatoes, the
balance above 700 cars being n~on-certi-
fled stock.
1t is the intention of the Montana
Development Association to see that
Southern growers and dealers become
thoroughly acquainted with the mani
fest superiority of Montana certified
seed to the end that an extensive mar
ket may be developed which Will fur
nish Montana farmers with a new and
profitable phase of production.
The Association is trying by every
possible means to build up the state
and no methods of 70 doing are being
overlooked. Montana has made great
strides towards prosperity, but 1t IL the
Associations aim to bring about q con-
dltion Of affairs whereby every citizen
In our great state viii be contented
and prosperous

prices from $2.15 to 1925 per hundred,
f. o. b., shipping point, whereas ordin.
airy potatoes were moving slowly at
SlW to $1.25 per hundred. Already
there is a tendency in the South to
place orders for 1926 delivery.
Fol the season of 1925 the Montana
Development Association has again
given $4,000 to continue and extend
this work. Twenty-Five samples have
been submitted to Louisiana for test
purposes. Samples will also be tested
out in Alabama, neal Mobile. In addi.
ton, Mr.. Harrington will place tests
in Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri
and Tennessee. A representative wifi
be sent South in April to check person
ally on these tests, as well as to check
on carload lots of potatoes which have
been sent into other sections.
State Becoming Famous
1nasmuch as recommendations as to
purchases of SEED stock are made on
the basis of these tests, Montana's
standing in the South is directly tied
up with the continuation Of these tests
from year to year. Montana has made
great strides in the new venture, but
we still have the market to develop.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.--Promo-
ton of Attorney General Stone to
the Srrreme Court and resignation
of Herbert H. Votaw as .uperinten-
der. of prisons are regarded here as
two moves which seriously affect
plans OF friends of former Governor
Warren T. McCray TO obtain a short
ening Of the Governors term at At
lanta.
1t was on the aid of these two
officials that much reliance had been
placed.
Up to the present there have been
no formal petitions filed for Nc
Cray's release. according to James
A. Finch. attorney in charge of par
dons for the Department Of Justice.
1T will be long hard road that
McCray's friends will have to travel
before they can hope to receive any
encouragement either from Indi-
ana's congressional delegation or
members of the administration" is
the way one Indiana Congressman
today summed up the situation.
Representative VIII Wood, who
comes from McCray's home district.
is not planning to take any active

lease.

by a motorist who failed to stop.
There were witnesses. No one got

tential killer" free.
Last month Roy Oliver, 81, 74s

while walking on w. Washington St
The killer escaped. The case is a
sinister one. There were no wit

Get the License Number!
Marion County Coroner Paul F..
Robinson holds the opinion that once
the man is caught who leaves an
accident without reporting to po-
lice, it Is better to get conviction
under the present law than to fail to
convict, because of a much more Sc
we're penalty hanging over his head.
Get the license number firstv
This is the plea of Robinson in
discussing the mounting death rate
from such accidents.
There are always plenty of by
ISLANDERS to help the injured il
necessary he said, surely there
ought to be at least one witness who
has enough presence of mind to get
the license number of the car whose
driver is criminal enough Aot to
stop.
"Out of group of from ten to
fifteen witnesses. there is rarely one
who has gotten the license number
Of the departing car. What we need
is better enforcement of the law.
Getting the license number Of the
escaping auto is the first step in en-
forcement. Every citizen should
make a solemn VOW 10 get the H.
cense number first!
"If there are to be any changes
in the law I suggest that it be man-
datory for those figuring in auto ac-
cidents to report the accident di-
rectly to police. The present law
requires the report may lie given to
the injured party If no peace rlcers
are present, in cases where persons
are injured. would have 1t the law
that the motorist must report Girect
to police. Z II in the country, he
must report to the county sheriff. I"
