THE RIGHT NAME Is THE
GRAND CANYON OF ARIZ..

Is it the Grand Canyon of the Colo
RADIO, or the Grand Canyon of Ari-
zona? This is a question frequently
asked by visitors to Grand Canyon
national park, according to J. r.
Eakin, park superintendent.
To be exactly correct, it should be
called the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado river in Arizona. However,
this is much too long a name for
such a breath-taking spectacle, and,
as result practically every official
publication refers to it as the Grand
Canyon of Arizona. This is prefer
able in that it locates the canyon Peo-
pie have been known to drive to Colo
RADIO looking for the Grand Canyon,
and, as it is entirely within the
boundaries of Arizona, they were
forced to find a new route. Aside
from locating the canyon for the pros
pective visitor the official title could
be shortened to simply the Grand
Canyon. Despite claims from other
sections, there is only one Grand Can
yon in the world, and that is the
Grand Canyon of Arizona.

WATER TURNED INTO new
SUPPLY LINE TODAY; CITY
DISTRIBUTION LINES DONE

The full flow of water was turned
in through the new city peaks-to-res-
ervoir pipeline this morning and the
work is done. With two feet of
water in the reservoir yesterday and
an estimated inflow of at least 7OO,-
900 gallons day for several weeks
and probably in excess of 100000 gall
Ions a day from then until next sum-
mer's mountain thaw, while there will
be no water to waste, there will be a
bountiful supply for all domestic pur-
poses.
The water would have been turned
into the new line yesterday, but owing
to the storm the joints in the pipe
sections that had just been taken up
and relaid to overcome sags could not
be sealed with petrolastic, which
must be applied when the pipe is per-
fectly dry. So these few joints were
sealed by laying in cement and it was
thought best not to turn the water in
until the cement had chance to
harden.
This week the extension work on
the distribution system here in town
was completed. Sam Killen, superin-
tendent for the contractors, had a
crew removing debris and leveling off
the tops of bitches.
All that remains to complete the
doubling Of our water system is to
finish the new 50,000,0 0,000-gallon reser-
voir, and that will be finished in the
spring before it is needed for storage
of water.
