day recently, heard a dog barking
and an investigation showed a dog
caught in trap. How long the an
imal had been caught is problemati-
cal but he was gaunt, hungry and
vicious. 1t was with great difficulty
that Mr. Ganeau and his companion
were able to affect the release of the
dog without being bitten by the mad
dened creature. The dog belonged to
a local man ana had been missing
several days. The trap in which the
dog was caught was unmarked and

PHOENIX AND SALTRIVER VALLEY
BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL MEN
FLOCK TO SUPPORT OF CAMERON


Senator Ralph H. Cameron has re-
ceived his first reinforcements from
the people of Phoenix and the Salt
river valley in his stand against the
advance in the senate of the forces
of the Colorado river states in an
attempt to trample down Arizona and
pass the Swing Johnson bill for the
construction of the Boulder canyon
dam, the Dispatch is informed.
A spirited telegram signed by 25
persons, including leading business
and professional men of Phoenix and
the Salt river valley, has been dis
patched to Washington informing the
senator of their alignment with him.
''Arizona stands squarely behind you
in the fight against the inquitous
alliance of the Colorado basin states
to pillage Arizona of her rights in
the resources of the Colorado river, .
the message declares. "The Swing
Johnson bill opens a legal fight that
may prevent development for years
Millions for defense but not one cent
for tribute" it ads.
owe favor the test drilling at
Glen canyon and all other sites on
the river" the wire concludes. The
telegram was signed by members OF
the firms of Doris -Heyman Furni-
ture, company, Macarthur Brothers, J.
D. Halstead Lumber company, Ari-
zona Laundry company, Arizona

company, Lobit and Stromberg, Sun

pany by Ralph Murphy, Roy Nc
| Carthy, r. f. Garnett, Ed. Rudolph
I. Diamond and Arthur Luhrs.
The stand of the people of Phoeni8
and the Salt river valley is said to
lpresage a like stand on the part OF
the people of the entire state. The
assistance Offered to Cameron was
precipitated by messages received in
Arizona during the last few days
which warned them Arizona's back
| was to the wall awaiting the zero
| hour to face one of it's greatest
crisis, the almost certain favorable
reporting to the United States senate
by the senate committee on reclaim
alton, of the Swing-Johnson bill.
Cameron, upon leaving hurried
executive meeting of the reclama-
tion committee is reported as saying
that it was obvious that all the
amendments to the bill were drafted
to appease all states but Arizona
| and that the amended bill was rank
discrimination against Arizona's in
terests. The senator is said to have
declared that he will oppose the bill
to the fullest extent of his powers.
''I shall exercise my rights as Ari-
zona's representative in the upper
house to unlimited debate when the
proposed measure reaches that body, .
he is quoted as saying. One Of the
most spectacular filibusters in the
history of the senate on the part Of
Senators Ashurst and Cameron may
result in the present crisis, is the
general opinion of those well in
formed on the subject and familiar
with the personalities of the two Ari-
zona solons.
