The measure, introduced at the re-'
quest of the Arizona Highline Canal
association, contemplates the reclaim
alton of 100000 acres of arid land
in Arizona, the making available of
a domestic water supply for Los
Angeles and other southern Cali
fornia cities and the delivering of
water for irrigation to the Imperial
and Coachella valleys of California.
This would be done by means of
so-called highline canal which would
syphon water under the Colorado
river near Topock Ariz., and deliver
it at point ESQ miles distant from
the point Of diversion. Construction
cost of the irrigation features of the
project would be repaid to the gov
ernment from lands irrigated and
power privileges at damsites would
be sold to pay the cost of construc-
tion of these projects. The Highline
Canal association of Arizona includes
in it's membership eighteen members
of the present Arizona state 1egis-
lature and is headed by the state
senator, Fred Golfer of Arizona.
Development as proposed in the.
Cameron measure contemplates a
comprehensive development of the
Colorado river which, when completed
will cost between $55O,OO0,OOO and
$1,OO0,0OO,o00. While Cameron ex-
p1ained that the measure did not
include his views on the
subject of Colorado river develop
ment, he presented it to the senate,
he said in accordance with his de-
sire to give fair hearing to every
plan of development of the river.

NOT A SINGLE

The scenery from Quebec to the
