Phoenix, Ariz,, Dec. 10.-Judge b.
S. Clark, republican, defeated in the
November 2 election for the governor
ship, tonight made public a letter
written Governor Geo. w. P. Hunt,
democrat, the successful candidate,
saying he had decided not to contest
the election "even though substantial
grounds may exist. - Clark had pre-
viously announced that he would con-
test Hunts election.
Judge Clark had only three days
left in which to file contest proceed
ings in the Maricopa county Superior
court, the legal limit being Dec. IL,
which fell on Sunday.
In the letter, dated Dec. 10, Judge
Clark congratulates Governor Hunt,
elected for the sixth time to the Of
flee of governor, "an honor which IS
accorded very rarely even to the most
distinguished Of men,"
"This message has been delayed
because the margin in your favor, as
disclosed by the election returns, was
so scant that in the judgment of many
of my friends of both political par
ties, the question of a contest should
be carefully considered before COM
mitting myself, as to the result of the

ly against me, and there were also
many indications of actual fraud"
The returns showed the vote ITO
have been so close that for nearly ten
days the result was uncertain" it con-
tinued.
while we have information satis-
flying US of many and gross irregular
ities," it continued, particularly in
precincts that if thrown out would
change the result, the difficulty Of
getting actual proof in such shape as
would be acceptable in court Of law
is very great.
"Moreover, the expense Of waging
such a contest would run into a very
large sum, far beyond any amount at
my command and exceeding by many
thousands Of dollars any sum would
be willing to ask my friends and sup
porters to contribute. (The election
laws of the state provide that the
state shall NOT stand the expense Of
a recount of votes cast for any office
in contest proceedings unless the
majority of the successful candidate
is less than one-tenth of one per cent
of the total vote cast for that office;
in this case, some 79 votes).
tAlso, very powerful interests
would be aligned against us, aided by
the most formidable political machine
that has ever been organized in the
southwestern states, commanding

Ma. CHEVROLET statesmen
CELEBRATED BIG YEAR AT
BANQUET HERE ON SUNDAY

When an automobile salesman viii
drive 800 miles to eat turkey, and
another will drive $50 miles to eat
beans, the company they represent
ought to be proud of their energy.
Several others drove lesser dis
tances to be in Flagstaff Sunday
when w. M. Buchanan of Los Angeles
district sales-manager for the Chew
rolet Motor Co. gave banquet at
Bogart's grill to the Chevrolet repre-
sentatives in the north half OF this
state.
He didn't feed them because they
were hungry-though they were-but
because they had put this district
well toward the top in Chevrolet sales
during the last year, which has beer
by far the largest the company ever
has had
The fellows who sold the greatest
percentage over the quota were seat
ed on the west side of the long table,
and the others-even though each OF
these latter had sold more than {
hundred per cent of his quota-were
on the east side. The menu began
with the fellows on the west side eat
ing turkey and the others eating
beans, but before long Buchanan re-
Tented and all alike ate turkey.
The Flagstaff boys-Maic Pilking-
ton, Dick Nelson and Marvin Lea
mon, as might be expected, were II
the turkey class. So was Walter Rus
sell, of Kingman, 18 years old, who
topped them all in individual sales
And so was Jasper Brewer Of King
man, sheriff elect of Maricopa coun-
ty, who claims the distinction Of hav-
ing sold 35 cars to the II men in a
small mining camp near Kingman
There were several others on the ltur-
key side.
Buchanan told the boys Chevrolets
next year will be even better than
this. They all disputed him, on the
ground that they couldn't be better
Apparently they believed he was
promising the impossible. Which
faith in the product they are selling
shows why they made such won
derful record in sales during 1926.

Barker and Mr.. Brandt, Clarkdale;

ARIZONA SUBMITS OFFER
FOR RIVER AGREEMENT L

So we talked price, and the first fig
ure we discussed was five mills to
the kilowatt hour at the switchboard.
At 100 per cent operation of the plant,
that would yield Arizona about $20,-

figure would be $12,000,000. Califor-

doubt that a price fair to both states

The tentative agreement between
the committees of the three lower
basin states is said to provide that
the Federal government should build
the dam, each state to repay the gov
ernment in proportion to the power
and irrigation benefits accruing TO
that state from construction OF the
dam. After the debt was repaid, all
the benefits and the profits both
would revert to the states sharing
the entire project"

Negotiations between the Colorado
river commissions have reached a
stage in which the Arizona represen-
tatives have submitted the following
definite proposal:
"(1) Arizona shall receive the en-
tire contribution made by her own
to the Colorado river.
"(2) OF the flow delivered by the
states of the upper basin at Lees Fer
ry, where the Colorado enters Ari-
zona, 100000 acre feet shall be re-
served for Nevada.
"(3) The remaining waters shall be
divided half and half between Cali
fornia and Arizona.
"(4) Present perfected rights Of
appropriation in the waters of the
Colorado shall be confirmed and de-
Quoted from the 5000 division to be
made between Arizona and California.
| (These now cover for Arizona 325, 200
acres at Parker, Mohave and Yuma,
and about 2,280,000 acres for Califor-
MIA at Blythe, Palo Verde and in the
Imperial valley.
E(5) Hydroelectric power shall be
divided among the states in direct
proportion to the amount of fall which
the river makes in each state between
the dam and the elevation of the bed
of the stream reached by the back
water when the reservoir is filled"
In addition, the Arizona commits
sioners declare ''that the republic OF
Mexico and the citizens thereof shall
take notice that they cannot acquire
any moral or equitable claim to the
waters of the Colorado river tempar-
arily made available for use in such
republic of Mexico by the regulatory
effect of any dam or dams const net
ed in pursuance of this agreement, as
it is the intention and purpose of the
parties hereto and the United States
to ultimately utilize all of such waters
within their own borders"
F. A. Reid, president of the Salt
River Valley Water Users associa-
ton, appears to be the field agent for
the full committee and the only one
who will talk. Gov. Hunt refuses to
be quoted, though he offered valll-
able contribution in information that
the full report of his commission will
be in his hands before the legislature
assemblies next month. There is nc
evidence, however, of any dissension
within the committee, in which Reid
is the only member not closely allied
with the Arizona executive.
Revenue from power, a proposition
joined in by Nevada; is declared by
Reid the principal feature of discus
sion and a tentative agreement is said
to have been reached for division OF
power. 1t is appreciated that Arizona
hardly has market for all the pow
er that is claimed as her share. But
as admitted by Mr. Reid, tour pres
ent power market is in California.

CARTS. at won't be long now," they
kept calling to each other, meaning
their lob will soon be done.
These boys eat together, as hear
tily as they work together. The way
that food disappeared! They even
ate the music Phil Hall and Frank
Quirk dispensed, and it is not so sure
they didn't eat the flowers.
Clark Granting, superintendent OF
construction, presided and near the
close of the evening gave an interest
ing talk on. the development of con-
struction methods, evolution in hotel
building, etc.
Mayor |. B. Koch, president of the
hotel company spoke in appreciation
Of the splendid spirit of cooperation
all the men had shown.
Grady Gammage, president Flag
staff Teachers college, emphasized
the present and ever increasing need
for cooperation in everything which
is to succeed, whether it be athletics
construction, business or anything
else.
H. C. McCune, head painter at the
hotel, said he'd never worked with an
organization in which there was SO
much harmony and constructive IN
terest; consequently such smooth and
rapid progress.
Jimmie Hamilton, manager OF the
hotel, said when he went back to Cal
ifornia from here in November he
told his wife they would spend his
birthday, February IA, there, for ne
didn't believe it was possible to have
the hotel completed as Granting said
it would be, by. January /. He said
the way the work had gone ahead
was a great surprise to him. He also,
said that in his more than 20 years
experience in the hotel business, while
this is not the largest hotel he has
been connected with, it is the best
built
w. F. Harrison, carpet layer, said
when he and his partner got here re-
Gently from San Francisco, they found
the rooms wouldn't be in shape for
them to begin for week; now they
are week ahead.
Most of those who spoke expressed
belief that soon hundred or more
additional rooms will need to be ad-
ded to the hotel
Other speakers were E. D. Buck,
L. A. Barnes, Charlie Lehr, E. c. Ber-
telsman, Alfred Fellman, j. A. Baker,
