ATWOOD WRITES
STORY ABOUT
THE COLORADO

The current issue of the Saturday
Evening Post, probably the most
widely read magazine in the world,
contains an extensive article on the
Colorado river by Albert W. At
wood, which should prove of espe-
cial interest to the people of Ari-
zona. Atwood, who has made an
extensive study Of the river in
gathering material for his article,
states that not only is the develop
ment Of the Colorado river neces-
sary from the economic standpoint,
but that unless this is done within
the next II years, the river will
probably inundate and destroy the
entire Imperial valley.
The article explains that the
danger lies in the tendency of the
Colorado river constantly to fill up
its own bed with silt. He quotes
Mayor Bason of San Diego, himself
an engineer, as stating: "The long
est life that I have heard given the
Imperial valley is II years, unless
the river itself is harnessed. In
other words, there seems to be an
engineering possibility of keeping
the river out for not more than that
length of time" AtwoOd's article,
in part, reads:
"The Colorado river, one OF the
largest on the continent, discharg-
es unused into the sea sufficient
water to support in it's territory
population perhaps half that in the
entire country at the present time,
provided the stream was fully i'm
pounded and regulated for dOmes-
tic, irrigation and power purposes.
Enough of it's flood waters are said
to pass to the ocean untouched by
man to supply the entire poulation
of the United States for domestic
purposes, and the potential horse
power is more than half of all the
hydro-electric power in the country
today. There is then at least some
imaginative excuse for this outburst
from son of the southwest:
Here is this great river, with it's
streams flowing through the states
where water is the basis of life. If
We COuId IIlClhC C11C ItoC tllctI w -
ought to make of it here in the
Colorado river basin, there will
arise and bloom the greatest civil
ization here that the world has
ever seen.
"Look at the valley of the Nile
and the civilization that arose in
that place, based upon the use of
the waters of the Nile. Look at the
Tigris and the Euphrates and the
civilization that grew there. And
they lacked one great factor that
has contributed to modern life, and
that is hydraulic power. But COM
ing back to present realities, it
may be said that nowhere have we
such a ruthless and wasted natural
force as capable of being turned
into a willing, obedient and useful
servant of man. The Colorado river
is today one of the outstanding
menaces of the western country,
tumultous, Embarrassed and de-
structive demon"

Price Reductions
Overland, Whippet
Cars Announced

Following a statement made by
John n. WHY'S, President of WHY'S
Overland, Inc, upon his return
from Europe early this week, that
recent improvements in factory fac
ilities at the plants of the organi-
zations had materially reduced
manufacturing overhead and that
sales had been holding up in a
manner entirely unexpected at this
season, d sensational cut in prices
on all Overland models was an
nounced, the cuts arranging from
$4,000 on the Whippet Sedan to
$4,000 on the Overland Six Sedan
Deluxe.
Coming at the end of what has
been the largest month in volume
of sales ever known in WHY'S
Overland history, this price reduc-
Eion is looked upon as an indication
that Willys-Overland is taking the
position Of passing all excess pro-
fits, coming as a result of increased
output, on TO the car buyer.
Prices in the Whippet line are
dropped in the new schedule from
$735, on the Sedan Model to a new
price OF $685.. On the Coupe Model
10 $685.
This brings the Whippet into a
closely competitive price range
with its only other competitors in
the light car class with the advant-
age from the buyer viewpoint that
it is regularly equipped at these
new prices with four-wheel brakes,
full balloon tired and other con-
Structional features which are ex-

elusive with this model in its size
class.
The most sensational cut in the
Overland Six line has been made
on the Overland Six Sedan Deluxe
on which the reduction is $120
from $1O95 to 1915.
The price Of the touring car has
been cut $40 to a new low level OF
1926; the coupe has been cut $40
to new low level of $825, the two
door Sedan 500 to new price of
$685.. These four models are Of
fered with two-wheel brake equip
ment, four-wheel brakes being
furnished at an additional cost of
$50.
The new price on the Overland
Six line brings all models below
$1,000 f. o. b. Factory. The new
Overland Six prices have brought
this model down to a point where
the price difference between the
lowest priced six on the market,
and the Overland, in the twO-dOOr
or Coach model is negligible de-
spite the fact that the general di-
mensions and specifications of the
Overland make it the largest car
in it's general size and class.
No changes have been made in
the prices on the Willys-Knight
model built by the same manufact-
urers.
It has been known in the trade
for some time that sales on all
Overland models have exceeded the
original factory specifications and
that production has been steadily
stepped up since the first of the
year. 1t has also been known that
WHY'S Overland have set high aims
as they relate to quantity output
and that all manufacturing sales
plans have been laid with the idea
of keeping prices down to the low
est levels consistent with the pro-
fitable operation Of the company.
The new prices on the Overland
Models have, reached to a lower
than anyone in the industry has
anticipated in view of the fact that
numerous mechanical improve
ments have been made in the Over
land Six Models were held sur
prisingly low in face of the con-
structional features of this light
car.
They came as boomeranr in
face of the apparently au.h"' iratjve
statement given out earlier in the
week from other trade sources,
that prices had reached a low
level which would apparently re-
main stationary for some time to
come.
Coupled with the announcement
from the Ford Motor Company that
no new Ford models were antici-
pated and with the announcement
by General Motors that 100000
Chevrolets were to be produced
this year, the situation created by
the Whippet prices indicates a
strong bid by the Toledo manufact-
urers for la ge volume in the light
car field.
There is also room for specu-
lative interest in the hotly compet-
tive field of light SKIES with the
new prices on the Overland Six
especially so since this car reached
second place in sales among all
light skies in the first year of its
production.
1t is reported that Willys-Over-
land is endeavoring to accomplish
total sales volume of 100000 cars,
Overland and Willys-Knight includ-
ed, between now and the end of the
year. Such an attainment would
place the total sales figures for the
year over 5000 in excess of the
best previous years in the history
of the organization.
