Bobby Jones and Watts Gum Playing for Championship

lh oakmont Pa, Sept, 5.-The sec- ond hole was also halved. On the 'second Jones drive was near the edge of the fairway, 25 yards ahead of Gunn's, and his second dropped six feet from the pin, but he missed the putt and took four. Gum also was on the green with his second and missed 2O-foot tap by few inches to halve the hole.
 There was another halve on the third in fours. Jones' drive carried fully S20 yards 10 mid-fairway and his pitch carried him to within 20 feet of the pin and he was down in two butts for par four. Gunn's drive was long and bounded into the rough at the left. He brought his second to the green, 30 feet to the right of the pin, and also holed out in two butts for the third straight halve.
 Gum took lead of one hole by scoring an Eagle three at the fourth. His second shot was played with No. iron and stopped ten feet be- yond the flag and he dropped the putt. Jones, who had equalled Gunn's drive down the middle of the fairway, spooned Into trap at the right and his third crossed the green. His fourth was barely five feet from the pin. Then he picked up.
 Bobby Jones took the fifth hole, evening the match. A birdie three gave Jones the fifth and squared the match. Both drives were well down the middle and Jones pitched to within IS feet of the hole, and then sank the putt, while Gum barely saved on the edge of the green with his niblick and required two to go down for par four.

| lis q better plan for Los Angeles
| than that of the MulhOlland-Boulder
canyon, which contemplates raising
the water to height of 1408 feet by
an expensive pumping process. Be-
sides costing several million dollars
a year, the pumping plant would be
liable to break down at any time La
Rue shows that a dam at Bridge
Canyon, which was first proposed by
the Arizona highline reclamation as
sociation-the Spencer canyon dam
site and the Bridge canyon dam site
which are only six miles apart, being
one and the same for all practical
purposes-will enable Los Angeles to
get Colorado river water by gravity.
Thus it will be seen that the Bridge
Canyon-Arizona highline canal being
practical for California certainly is
very much more practical for Ari-
zOna.
careful study of the Arizona
highline reclamation project, which
contemplates the Glen canyon stor-
age reservoir, followed by a careful
study of the report on the Bridge
canyon irrigation diversion dam,
shows that the highline reclamation
plan will most quickly develop Ari-
zona's irrigable lands and the 6000,-
900 potential electric horsepower Of
the Colorado river. The La Rue re-
port shows that the highline recla-
nation plan is the best for California,
and is therefore more preferable for
Arizona. By this plan it will be pos
sible soonest to obtain complete flood
control and soonest to get the max
imum irrigation and power develop
ment out of the waters of the Col

ment of the potential Colorado river
irrigation and power resources, and in
advancing the general welfare of our
state, to see that our filings are pro-
tected with all possible diligence to
conform to the requirements of the
laws pertaining to them.
1t is for your information, Mr.. Com
missioner, that l am filing with this
letter to you the data obtained thru
the efforts of patriotic citizens who
have given of their time, money and
ability to secure this valuable data
which aids in the establishing of facts

ally made by myself
Because of the misinformation
broadcast, most of those who have
been for the Colorado river compact
have opposed any appropriation of
money for surveys, investigation and
data which would prove that compact
to be wrong. But Notwithstanding,
such Investigations, surveys and data
will eventually establish truth. And
all of the truth will be most favorable
to the Arizona highline reclamation
projects.
The seventh legislature made an
appropriation of $4,000 for a survey
of the irrigation and power potential
tiles of the Colorado river to be
matched by the federal government.
These appropriations will be of great
service to us, and protect our filings,
provided that those appointed to su.
pervise the surveys are deeply inter-
ested in Arizona's welfare and in
securing the most rapid development

Mormon Flats and Horse Mesa dams,
will cost $22,000,000; and that it will
produce $4,000 electric horsepower
annually, which, it is widely heralded.
will in ample time pay off the entire
construction charges.
Now it is estimated by competent
engineers that there are 100000 cleo
trio horsepower in the Colorado river.
But let us say, to be ultra conserva-
tive, that it is only possible to de-
velop 100000 elecric horsepower in
that river, or just SO times as much
as will be developed in the Salt River
project. Then let us consider that the
highest estimate for the construction
of the proposed Arizona highline re-
clamation canal, is $3.50, 100000. If we
admit that the completed Salt River
project is economically financed at
$22,O00,000 to produce $4,000 horse
power, it follows that the highline
project would, in q like manner, be
economically financed as a power pro-
ject at SO times that amount or $1,100,-

For the past two and half years
have given my time, money and poor
ability to protect the Arizona highline
and other irrigation projects for the
future development Of Arizona. And
pledge that will remain on the firing
line as long as the interests of the
state seem to require it.
Trusting that this filing and infor-
nation may be of service to the state,

Yours very sincerely.

the Grand Canyon at an elevation of
3115 feet, and which will have a ca
pacity of 50,000,000 acre feet
In l.. A. Times report La Rue recon-
mended the use of the Bridge canyon
irrigation diversion dam-included in
the Arizona highline reclamation assO-
citation plan-saying that it would en-
able Los Angeles to secure water by
gravity from the Colorado river. The
Los Angeles city authorities had pre-
yiously planned to secure Colorado
river water according to the plans OF
the Mulholland survey, which contem
plates the building of dam i'll the
Boulder canyon at an elevation of only
700 feet, and then pumping the water
t408 feet at a cost of several million
dollars year.
California authorities have become
convinced that by using the Bridge
canyon irrigation diversion dam and
the Arizona highline reclamation as
sociation plans that California can ir-
rigate a million acres more than by
using the Boulder canyon dam, which
is good for power purposes but OF
practically no benefit for irrigation
purposes.

resources of the Colorado river.
Our plan is one of continuous CO.
operation with you to save and de-
velop the irrigation and power re-
sources of the river. We now have
irrefutabIe evidence that the Arizona
highline irritation project is feasible.
But the data of a comprehensive sur
vey is necessary as a basis on which
to finance the development that the
project contemplateS.
We are now busy with the plans of
organizing the owners and lessees Of
state lands into irrigation districts.
We are educating all Of the people of
the state, as far as possible, in the
knowledge that the building of the
Bridge or Spencer canyon irrigation
diversion dam, the Glen canyon stor-
age reservoir and the Arizona high
line canal, will insure the irrigation
of 100000 acres of Arizona land as
productive as that of the now famous
Salt River Valley, which the Federal
government declares to be the most
successful irrigation project in the
United States. In addition, this pro-
ject can irrigate 100000 acres more
in California than any other Califor
MIA project yet proposed.

THE STATE OF ARIZONA

President Fred r. Golfer of the Ari-
zOna highline reclamation association
Monday filed, in behalf of the state Of
Arizona, on the rights to the Bridge
canyon irrigation diversion dam site
on the upper Colorado river just be-
low the Grand Canyon. For all prac-
tical purposes, according to the letter
President Golfer wrote to State Land
and Water Commissioner Vernon l..
Vaughn with the instrument of filing,
the Bridge canyon irrigation diversion
dam site is the same as the
Spencer Canyon irrigation diversion
dam site, on the rights of which Golfer
fled for the state of Arizona in 1922.
These two dam eites are only six
miles apart
Engineer E. G. La Rue, chief of the
United States Geological Survey be-
lieves that the Bridge canyon dam site
is preferable, while Engineer George
w. Sturtevant, who made the original
survey for the Arizona highline re-
clamation association, has stated that
the Spencer canyon site is ideal. But
it is President Golfers idea to secure
by means of today's filing the rights to
both of the sites for the state of Ari-
ZOna.
The Spencer dam site is at an eleva-
ton of 1105 feet and the Bridge can
yon site at 1907 feet. Either of these
proposed diversion dams would divert
the water, according to the plans Of
the Arizona highline reclamation asso-
citation, from the Glen canyon storage
