CALIFORNIA SENATOR
GETS sQUELcHED

Senator Shortridge of California at
the recent conference in Phoenix
asked Secretary McCluskey if he
thought that the proposed Bridge Can
yon Dam and Highline Irrigation Ca
nal, which McCluskey outlined as be-
ing the plan of river development
that would be of the greatest benefit
to Arizona, could be built within the
next 800 years.
Like a shot McCluskey replied that
as this country was now only 149
years old. was the greatest nation in
the world with a population of over
100,000,0O0, and had recently been
the acknowledged instrumentality in
winning the World War, that he
thought it entirely probable that a
little thing like the Bridge Canyon
dam and its attendant irrigation ca
nails that would not cost more than
$400,000000 could be built in consid-
erable less time than the three cen
turies designated by the California
senator.

FEDERAL POWER COMMISSIONS
AUTHORITY?

We have been asked just what pow
er the federal power commission has
over the rights of Arizona in the
Colorado river. Let us reply again
that their power is more assumed
than real. Under the Enabling Act,
the Interior Department, always rep
resenting the federal government,
was restricted to five years in which
to designate and withdraw from Ari-
zona's domain all reserves necessary
for government development of pow
er. That time elapsed Dec. 81, 1917,
and the dominion or usurpation Of any
Arizona territory since that time is
IN violation of that agreement, be-
cause it extends that period indefin-
itely, after a bonafide agreement has
been made with the people of Arizona
TO limit the governments right in
that matter to five years Arizona
is battling for her rights and will
continue to battle for them until the
Colorado power reserves and all
others, including forest, grazing and
power reservations which now cover
seven-tenths of the area of the State.

terity.

Smoke Stacks
Burn At Mill

Work at the Island Wooden Mill
was suspended this morning when
two smoke stacks of the mill
caught on fire and threw the en-
ployes into confusion.
The Baraboo fire department was
summoned about nine O'Clock and
arrived on the roof Of the mill with
their equipment in record time.
Some difficulty was encountered in
fighting the fire as it came from
wooden partitions between two lay
ers of sheet metal. Portions of
both stacks were removed before
the fire was extinguished.
Miss Martha Newman, who is EN-
ployed in the clerical department
of the mill, was the first person
to notice the fire, when smoke
found its way into the Office.
The origin of the fire is not
known but is believed to have
started from sparks coming up the
chimney. 1t was after twelve
O'Clock before the fire fighters left
the scene of the blaze.

swer to the challenge Of the motor
truck which has been cutting into
the freight revenues by offering
merchants convenient door-t to- door

mistaken, other railways all over

to follow the example Of the Bos
ton & Maine. The English railways
