Sees AanuSllde
For Democrats

Judge w. A. O'Connor who
headed the list of speakers at the
democratic rally at the court
mouse Thursday night, gave out
the figures on the registration
of the state by counties.
There are 107, ,4U3 qualified
voters in the state and out OF that
number over $4,000 are register
ed democratic, max ng the com
parison of over two to one in
favor of the democrats. With
these figures Judge O'Connor
says he cannot see how if would
be possible for anything but
democratic landslide from senator
down to the bottom of the list.
lie also stated that in a conversa-.

partment of the Interior of Wash

the Department of Interior had

WHITNEY CONCENTRATES DRUM
FIRE ON The CAMERON GANG

MI. Hayden would appear as an
endorsement of teh Senate Com
mittee's action recommending the
passage of the Swing-J ohnson
bill. Cameron was unable to pre-
vent h S committee of the Senate
from recommending the Swing
Johnson Bill, and his was a Re-
publican committee, and Cam
eron claims to have a great in
fluence with the Republican par
ty, but Democrat, Carl Hayden,
was able to convince in the House
a Republican committee that the
Swing-Johnson bill should be
pigeon-hole, where Carl Hayden
put It, the Swing-Johnson bill now
reposes.
''It is a notorious fact that the
Republican national administration
in the fight on the Boulder Can.
yon Dam is FOR CALIFORNIA
AND AGAINST ARIZONA. The
reason for this is plain. Califor-
MIA has thirteen electoral votes,
Arizona only three. The Repub-
| lican national administration
needs California and is willing to
throw Arizona to the lions.
IT am thoroughly convinced
that the efforts of a desperate
Cameron crowd to attract Demo-
cratic votes by whispered pro-
noises of trades will meet on cleo
ton day with the smashing re-
buke it so justly deserves.

LEWIS DOUGLAS
ERECTING MILL
AT ARAVAIPA

Stafford - That Graham coun-
ty, in addition to it's agricultural
and live stock industries, will en-
ter the list of mine producing
counties, is assured day by day, as
the Aravaipa Mining Company,
with Lewis Douglas at it's head, as
sembles the machinery for a flota-
ton mill on its group of claims in
the Aravaipa district, approximate
ly fifty miles west of Stafford.
For the past several weeks ma
chinery for the mill has been un-
loaded at Cork Siding and hauled
out to the mine on the Klondyke
road. practically all of the ma
chinery is on the ground now and
foundations for the mill are under
construction. 1t is the expectation
that the mill will be in operation
by the end of the year.
Mr.. Douglas and associates came
into ownership of the group of
claims in the Aravaipa district
year ago after a thorough investi-
cation. Tests of the ore was made
in a mill operated at Contention, in
Cochise county, which proved high
ly satisfactory following which de-
velopment work at the mines was
started, blocking out the ore bodies
preparatory for milling. The prin-
cipal values of the ore are lead and
silver. During the progress of the
development work shipments of the
high grade ore has been made to
the smelter at Ell Paso.
At present sixty men are on the
pay roll of the Aravaipa Company,
store has been opened at the
mines by Mr.. Allaire, and the plans
of the company for production at
an early date are being worked out
under the superintendency of Har-
old and Hendrickson.

closed that with a capacity of rs, it
is housing 140, the majority of

LOCAL, JOINT
CLASS FREIGHT
RATES REVISED

WASHINGTON - On complaint
of the Arizona Corporation Com
mission, the interstate commerce
commission has found to be un-
reasonable the local joint class
| rates between points in Arizona
and points in California, New Mex
leo and Ell Paso, Texas. A new
scale was ordered, ranging from 25
cents per hundred pounds, first
class for distance up to ten miles,
to 1925 up to 800 miles.
The findings were described as a
temporary measure to accord the
Pacific Southwest substantially the
same scale of rates as now applies
in the Pacific Northwest. The scale
in the Southwest was said to COM
| pare favorably with that prescribed
I for the Mountain-Pacific group,
and the new scale therefore was
held subject to reconsideration in
event the class rates throughout
the MOuntain-Pacific territory are
| brought in issue in a general in
veStigatiOn or some other proceed
ing.
The rates assailed, the commits
sion said, were shown to be exces-
slve especially for longer distances.
| PHOENIX - Sweeping reduc-
t1ons in freight rates affecting the
entire rate structure and running
from 20 to 80 per cent have been
made in rizono II, hath ;n+ro 49,
and Interstate shipments by the in
terstate commerce commission, ac-
cordlng to word received by the
Estate corporation commission.
The reductions were effected by
joint action of the corporation COM
mission. Amos A. Belts, commits
s1oner, last month at Washington
assisted in working out details of
the reductions. The complaints
were filed in the spring OF 1923,
and the case was heard in July. The
interstate commerce commission S
hearing was held here in Novem-
ber.
All class rates within the state
and from Ell Paso and Albuquerque
east to San Francisco bay on the
west, into and out of Arizona, were
brought into review and are affect
ed by the decisions.
I'VE are highly elated over the
outcome of these cases." Commits
sioner Belts said. "It means
complete victory for Arizona in the
long, drawn-out fight for just rates
for which we have been battling
for years. 1t had long been recog-
nized that the class rates assessed
by the carriers in Arizona were alb
surdly higher than in other parts
of the Mountain-Pacific territory,
that part of the country lying west
of line drawn North and South
from point short distance east
of Ell Paso."
The new rates are expected to
become effective by October L.

tract between it and the Southern

fornia under which the primary
supply of electricity is furnished to

commission finds this primary sup
ply furnished by the Southern Sier-
ras Power company is insufficient,
unreasonable, unsatisfactory and
inadequate" by reason of the fail
ure of the Edison company to re-
ceive IAN uninterrupted primary

ther finds the service given by the

at Bertha then claimed that having
a mortgage on the cows and their
increase that their mortgage covered
the milk from the cows and asked the
creamery to pay in the particular
part of the cream check instead of
paying it to the Winooski bank in
Vermont. The suit was brought to
determine who had the legal claim
to the cream check. Judge Parsons
decided that the mortgage of the Ber-

crease did not cover the milk from
the cows and that the mortgage to
the Vermont bank for part of the
cream check was valid and that the
part of the cream check mortgaged
should be turned over to the Yer

BONES Dream
IS NOW REALITY
Scouts Choice $50 Years
Ago Becomes Great
Power Plant Site.

Louisville, Ky.-On a site selected
nearly $50 years ago by Daniel Boone
as among many excellent mill Sites
along Dix river, today stands the Dix
river dam, the largest rock-fillea dam
in the world and the highest of any
kind east of the Rocky mountains.
The hydroelectric plant at the dam
is the latest unit in a nationwide SUI
perpower transmission system.
Situated near the confluence of the
Kentucky and Dix rivers. in the blue
grass region of Kentucky, Dix river
dam has just been completed after
years of planning and Is months of
intensive construction. 1t impounds
lake 81 miles long, covering 5000
acres and with an estimated capacity
OF lOO,OOO,OO0,0O0 gallons of water.
3 . Develops $4,000 Volts.
The generators of the plant, three
in number, utilizing $4,000 gallons of
water a minute when running at ca
pacity, develop 10000 horse power
of electricity at 1920 volts. At a
transformer .substatiOn near by the
current is raised to $4,000 volts and
transmitted to distributing stations in
Kentucky, Indiana and Virginia.
Built at a cost exceeding 100000,
including accessory construction, Dix
dam is 1,O30 feet long, $50 feet thick
at the base, 275 feet high from stream
bed, and is capped with a paved road
way, "a feet wide. Constructed in a
narrow gorge between two high cliffs,
it is composed of 100000 cubic yards
of rock. Two great blasts, one of S4,-
600 pounds of explosives and another
of $4,000 pounds, blew thousands of
tons of material off the cliff tops into
the river bed. More stone was piled
on the heap until the gorge was filled
to the required height. On top of this
was poured blanket" of concrete
averaging two feet in thickness.
Finish Work In 1925.
Construction on the dam and plant
began in the fall of 1923 when a tun-
mel 915 feet long and "a feet in d.
ameter, was bored through the east
cliff to divert the river flow during
construction. On March II, 1925, the
engineers closed the tunnel and Har-
rington lake began to form. Seven
and one-half months later the first
current for commercial use was de-
veloped and put into the transmission
lines.
Today the water in the lake is ap-
preaching the overflow channel and
the plant is ready to be operated at
capacity.
