Santa Fe Engineers
Surveying For Dam

Williams-A Santa Fe engineer
ing party in charge of d. M. Bun
ker arrived in Williams Monday
to make a tentative survey for a
larger dam at the head ofSanta Fe
Canyon. They have run a line OF
stakes up the canyon which parts
three ways to determine the high
water line a hypothetical so foot
dam. The tentative location is at
the head of the canyon near the
upper white-gravel pit.
The high water line would take
in all the lowland on the Talk and
Owen ranches and would reach up
the valley couth nearly to the
Wolfe ranch. There would be a
depth of from fifty to ten feet over
large acreage on the Owen ranch
and most of the Talk ranch would
show very good depth. Mr. Bun
ler says that roughly estimated,
the capacity of the proposed reser-
voir would be fully seven times
that of the present Santa Fe reser-
vOir
Engineer Bunker found Williams
citizens eager to assist him in any
way possible with the work of
making his survey, attesting the
Willingness of the town to cooper
ate with the Santa Fe in develop
ing a large lake on the proposed
Site The White Garage volun-
teered to take the surveyors to and
from work without charge, and
Supervisor Kimball of the Forest
Service gave ready cooperation
in helping to locate corners and
typographical map information
from the forest records
The proposed dam and resultant
lake should provide an opportunity
for the Santa Fe and the town to
cooperate very much to the NUT
ual advantage of both parties.

BASE LINE RUN TO SHOWLOW
IN PRELIMINARY WORK ON
SHOWLOW IRRI. PROJECT

SnOWflake-Mr G.. M. Carl, en-

Creek development, has been at
work for the past few weeks run
ming base line up Showlow creek,
prior to taking levels and deter
mining the storage capacity Of the
proposed damsites. Mr.. Carl feels
that much water has been going
to waste which might have been
used to a great advantage in plac-
ing much additional land under
cultivation. He expressed surprise
that the creek had not been deVe-
loped at an earlier date, and is sure
that it will prove valuable asset
to the county and state.
Beginning at the Jensen place
on lower Showlow Greek, he has
now completed his base line to the

Citizens of Snowflake and the
vicinity are watching with inter-

Travelling Expenses.

Controller General McCarl has ruled
that no longer can the District gov
ernment pay travelling expenses Of it's
officials out of appropriations for the
ma aintena nee Of the particular depart
ment with which the official is con-
nected. For more than thirty years
the District has paid, without ques
ton, the bills for inspection trips Of
it's various officials out Of those appro-
priations. The controller general.
however, has decided that if Con-
gress desires certain employees Of the
government to travel at the tsxpay-
ers' expense, q special stipulation in
the appropriation will be necessary
and that he will decline to approve all
expense money" until such authori
"a tion in given.
This ruling deserves the immediate
attention not only Of the Commission
ers, but of Congress. Oficials Of the
various depa rtments of the local gov
ernment gain valuable information on
these trips. In municipal engineering.
in fire apparatus, in electric lighting
and in traffic, study and inspection
in other progressive cities are neces
sary in order that the National Capt.
tai ca n keep pace in it's development.
The controller general is unQues-
tionsbly correct in his decision and
the Commissioners should lose no time
in bringing the matter oflcially to the
attention Of Congress for the purpose
Of securing specific appropriations.
The District cannot afford to remain
stationary in it's development; 1t can
not afford to let it's off1cials stagnate,
nd 1t cannot afford to be penny-wise
nd pound foolish in it's progress.
This matter. therefore, should be
brought forcibly to the attention OF
Congress for remedial action. The
spectacle of officials pa wing their own
expenses on a trip for the District
government cannot be tolerat ted, and
unless the situation is explained to the
legislative body in positive terms
Washington faces a condition which
no resident contemplates with pride.

Jail Breaks.

Iatl hveaks have become so frequent

movement Is under way by the So

the penal system OF the country. A
few DAYS ago a group Of desperate
lswbreakers. awaiting trial for homi
eide. tried 10 escape from the Tombs
prison In New York City and after
killing two of the officials they were
ecrrered and then killed themselves
rather than he retaken. The gums

Police Pistol Practice.

Police pistol practice has been re-
sumed in the old armory of the de-
partment in the basement Of local
theater. Forty off1cers a day are
being assigned to target shooting.
and Maj. Hease has announced that
the work will continue until every
man in the depa artment has attained
the necessary proficiency.
Because Of the wave of banditry
which has been engulfing the coun-
try, msrksmanship is now one Of
the most important features Of police
activity. Entirely too many officers
have been killed by criminals in
Washington as well as in other
cities, and every policeman should
be capable of defending himself
against murderous attacks.
Bandits have no hesita tion about
shooting to kill when they are cor
nered by guardians of the public and
they are generally deadly marksmen.
TO meet this new condition police
men should not only be thoroughly
schooled In the use Of firearms but
the latest and most effective weapons
should be provided for every man.
No community should stint Oh
police equipment, whether it be in
transportation units or guns The
underworld is too potent a factor in
the civiliza tion Of today for halfway
measures to be used in combat
1t. Policemen daily risk their lives
for the protection Of the public and
the least the public can do in return
is to furnish it's protectors with the
very best and, if necessary, the most
expensive arms and equipment to
carry on the work
10 protect their own lives and to
carry out their duties policemen
should strive to become efficient in
the use Of pistols. A dead bandit
instead Of a dead offioer may be the
result Of such practice and the police
still have long way to go to even
their score with the criminal ele-
ment.
With congressional realization Of
the necessity for proper equipment
and police proficiency in defending
themselves and the community,
Washington may become such an
unhealthy place for the underworld
that there will be an almost com
plete exodus Of it's members

England as one might imagine.
leads i'm this direction. The good
cheap editions which come from her
presses are impressive to one who
looks into the matter for the first
time.
In recent years the United States
has put on the market a number
of good cheap editions, and the
houses have put their small books
on sale here.
The result is that today one may
buy more good books cheaply than
at any time since the war and prob
ably even before the war.
Thus every one who really has
the urge to read good books may
buy them.
To many booklovers, including
those we'll able to buy more expen-
sive editions, there Is q peculiar sat
isfaction in getting hold Of really

author
Especially in democratic America
there should be none of this unfOrtu-
nate book snobbery which values a
volume according to the price paid
for It. OF course. there are many
splendid books appearing every year
which, by reason of their nature,
must be put out in large books at
comparatively high prices. We do
not speak, in our praise of cheap
books, of volumes retailing for IS
and up apiece. These are not cheap
books. Then there is an amazing
number of well-off persons who shy
visibly at paying 80 much as IS for
book.
SOHcnOW OF OLHoI we nave COliic
to the conclusion that a dollar is
the proper medium point for the
cheap book. The price may go as
far below that as the printer can
make it, but it must not go very
much higher.
When a volume gets to $l.75 or
81 and up, it can no longer be called
cheap, except in relation to elabo-
rate books selling at $40 and up per
volume.
Misersbly printed books, with type
so small that there ought to be a
law against it's use, are not in
cluded in our designation of cheap
books. We speak of good cheap books
as previously stated, printed I'm type
fit for a human being to read. on
moderately good paper, in good, dura-
BILE bindings.
Above all, good cheap book must
have something "bOoky" about it,
