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 Atwood,
which should prove of especial inter-
est to the people of Arizona. Atwood,
who has made an extensive study of
the river In gathering material for
his article, states that not only is
the development of the Colorado riv-
er necessary from the economic
standpoint, but that unless this is
done within the next II years, the
river will probably inundate and de-
stroy the entire Imperial valley.
The article explains that the dam
ger lies in the tendency Of the Colo
RADIO river constantly to fill up its
own bed with silt He quotes Mayor
Bason Of San Diego, himself an en-
gineer, as stating: ''The longest life
that ! have heard given the Imper-
ial valley is II years, unless the riy-
en- itself is harnessed. In other
words, there seems to be an engi-
neering possibility of keeping the
river out for not more than that
length of time" AtWood's article,
ii part, reads:
"T'he Colorado river, one of the
largest on the continent, discharges
unused into the sea sufficient water
to support in its territory a popula-
tion perhaps half that in the entire
country at the present time, provid-
ed the stream was fully impounded
and regulated for domestic, irrigation
and power purposes. Enough Of its
flood waters are said to pass to the
ocean untouched by man to supply
the entire population of the United
States for domestic purposes, and
the potential horsepower is more
than half Of all the hydro-electric
power in the country today. There
ST then at least some imaginative ex-
cuse for this outburst from a son of
the southwest:
Here is this great river, with its
streams flowing through the states
where water is the basis of life. If
we could make the use that we ought
to make of it here in the Colorado
river basin, there viii arise and
bloom the greatest civilization 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 wa
ters Of the Nile Look at the Tigris
and the Euphrates and the eiviliza-
tion that grew there. And they
lacked one great factor that has con-
tributed to modern life, and that is
hydraulic power. But coming back
to present realities, it may be said
that nowhere have we such a ruth
less and wasted natural force as ca
pable of being turned into a willing,
obedient and useful servant of man.
The Colorado river is today one of
the outstanding menaces of the wes-
tern country, tumultuous, unhar-
messed and destructive demon"

ARMS SMUGGLERS IN
Aqua ZARCA CAUGHT

One man was killed and one per-
haps fatally wounded Saturday on
the Mexican border when the Mexi-
can military surprised a party of al
/ legged arms and ammunition runners.
The military suffered no casualties.
Ricardo Hidalgo was killed and r..
Grijalva was wounded Two others
were captured by the military, which
was stationed at Aqua zarca, a
small railroad section station.
The military apparently was ap-
praised that a party of Mexicans
would attempt to smuggle arms and
ammunition across the border from
the American side. More than 25,-
900 rounds of ammunition were seiz-
cd by Mexican customs officials in
Nogales, Sonora, a few days ago,
when two men were taken into GUS
today.
The military is inclined to believe
those alleged to be implicated in
Saturdays affair are members of a
large, organized group Of smugglers.

E. S. CLARK SPENT NO
GREAT AMOUNT OF MONEY

With state returns indicating
clearly his nomination by a mimi
mum majority of 1900, e. S CLARK,
republican candidate for governor
issued a post-election statement ex-
pressing his appreciation of the ef-
forts of numerous friends in his be-
half, declaring the stamp of approv-
al had been placed on the sort of
campaign he conducted and adding
that nothing remains to disturb the
party unity as result of which the
republican party can look forward
to the election of all its nominees in
November"
Commenting on the outcome of
the election, Raymond Dyas, cam
paign manager for Clark, said while
he was highly gratified at the out
come and thankful to the many who
voluntarily assisted, it was particu-
larly source of pride to the Clark
campaign committee that the entire
expenditures Of the committee for
the campaign were less than $1,000,
as would be shown by sworn state
ments filed with the secretary of
state.
The republican candidate announc-
ed he would take a brief rest after
which he would enter upon a cam
paign to acquaint the people with
his views as to the necessity of Sc
curing action in the development of
the Colorado river, rehabilitation of
the state banking department and
the desperate need for measures Of
relief for overburdened taxpayers.

NAVAJO INDIANS FIGHT
TAX PAYMENTS

In a suit which recalls vividly to
pioneer residents of the northern
part of the state the stirring times
more than half a century ago when
United States forces, headed by Cen
eral Crook, rounded up the ten rene
gade Navajo Indians and lncarcerat-
cd the members of the tribe in New
Mexico, then later following the
signing of peace treaty in 1870, re-
turned them to their reservation, the
government has brought suit against
Apache county to enjoin the county
from taxing the Indians livestock.
This suit, filed in the district federal
court, will be tried before Judge
Fred G. Jacobs.
Specifically named as co-plaintiffs
with the government are Mr.. and
Mrs. Little Silversmith and their
three daughters, Jane, Mary and
Ann, who are the owners Of about
$500 head Of sheep, a couple hund-
dred head of cattle and an automo-
bile. They seek the injunction upon
the grounds that the sheep are de-
scendants of sheep given the Silver
smith family when the peace treaty
was signed and the horses purchased
with the money cleared from the
sheep, all Of the stock being exempt
from taxation as government prop
erty.
In resisting the suit, Apache coun-
ty officials declare the Little Silver
smiths live near the Navajo reserva-
+so,, ,,o+ 1rpoy II bt1f 11y1ar1 land on
which they filed as homesteaders
and which may thus be assessed for
their stock and personal possessions.

According to Alcott, he was hunt
ing gophers, and had stopped for a
few moments, resting the muzzle Of
his rifle against his chest on the left
side. The gun was accidentally dis
charged, the bullet entering the
chest, and ranging UP back Of the
heart to Alcott's left shoulder.
Alcott's father is -tin-do-na-

jos. Hosting -do-na-g -go-hie, which in

Editorial Comment
Who Shall Boss the Air?
lSt. Paul Dispatchl


A Chicago broadcasting station with the sugges
tive title of WJAZ threatens an international com.
plication by using the wave length as the
United States government has agreed shall be used
only by certain Canadian station Tie Chicago
station, it is charged by Attorney General Sargent
has not received permission from its government
to appropriate that length, and it is expected
that they will challenge the governments right 10
interfere with them.
Is it within the power of the Federal government
to regulate wireless? OF course there is not woro
about it in the constitution But there are clauses
giving the national authorities control over inter
state and foreign commerce and communications.
The provision relating to communications refers to
postofficcs and post roads Post roads. with stage
coaches wayside inns stage horses and POSITIONS,
disappeared long ago. at least are greatly changed
in character, but the right of the government to
build interstate highways OF concrete and monop-
Ollie the business of carrying mails is unchaenged
The need of radio control by greater authority
than the state governments is obvious. The inter-
national aspect Of it illustrated few years ago
when the Eiffe tower sending station in Paris got
ON the same wave length as German stations anu
jammed the air every time the Germans tried to
regale themselves with Deutschland Ueber Allies.

HOOf and Mouth
Disease Epidemic
Now Under Control

The hoof and mouth disease, which
has caused so much trouble in south
ern states during the past year and
resulted in the killing of more than
10000 head of stock in Texas alone,
is now we'll under control, according
to DR.. j. B. Hollcnbcck, who has just
returned to Bismarck from Galveston,
Tex. DR.. Hollenbeck, who is a
federal veterinarian. was sent to
the southern state early in October
to assist in controlling the epidemic.
Forty-0nc federal veterinarians aud
about the same numberof state vcter-
inarians have been working toward
that end for several months, but the
most of them have now been returned
to their regular posts. The embargo
on stock from that section will prob
ably be lifted about April /, DR.. Hol-
lenbeck states.
While the number of animals killed
was large. this does not mean that
all had the disease, the doctor says,
for if one animal in herd was
found to be afflicted. the entire herd
was Immediately ordered killed and
sometimes herds on adjoining farms
were also killed in order to prevent
the spread of the epidemic. About
10000 cattle, 400 sheep and 800 hogs
were killed in Texas, he states.

Surgeon General. U. 8. Public Health
Service
Exercise, If taken at all by the tu-
bcrculous, should be under supervi-
sion. as exercise may do harm.
Sometimes after several weeks Of
rest the body may have just succeed
cd in stopping the progress Of the
germ. The patient may be feeling
better and think that some little
thing such as an automobile ride
or trip TO town will not hurt him.
Just this little thing is sometimes
enough to cause al extra amount OF
poison to be poured out SO that the
wall which nature has formed around
the tuberculous process is partly
broken down and the patient in
very short time loses what he had
gained in days or weeks OF treat
,ment and has to begin all over again.
In the treatment of pulmonary tu-
bcrculosis it is necessary to save
every bit Of strength the patient has
and to keep the pulse rate IS slow as
it can be kept. Everything possible
should be done to build up the
strength of the patient. Absolute
rest is kept up until the tempera-
tdrc, pulse and signs in the chest
show that the acute progress OF the
disease has been checked. The only
way that this can be done is to keep
the patient at complete rest in bed.
Stay in Bed
Complete rest means that nc does
not get up to walk around at all.
Even walking about the room may
mean that the patient loses in the
daytime all the improvement that nc
made during the night.

Military Training

The Cleveland school board votes to abolish mill
tary training in the high schools and thereupon
finds itself in the midst of heated controversy
centerng about national defense.
One view that was taken was that military train
ing had no educational value and therefore ough.
not remain on the public school program. Defense
problems, it was held. were problems OF Congress,
no; of school boards.
The matter OF educational value would seem to
be open for argument 1t is hard to see what edu-
catonal value military training lacks that is pos
sessad by the put and the 22O-yard dash. and
this is said with full realization that military
training, it is practiced in high schools, Is far
from being al that it is said to be by its proponents

PHANTOMS WIN
FROM DICKINSON

Playing their first game on the
home floor this season, the Bismarck
Phantoms last night won from the
Company X team of Dickinson by q
10 to IL score. The game was rath-
or slow, but occasional spurts showed
the spectators that the Phantoms ale
capable Of playing high class bas-
kctball.
Ted Greenfield, captain OF tho
Phantoms, and Coach H. E. Collins
were the outstanding men in last
nights contest. Greenfield led tho
scoring with three goals and as many
free throws. Collins play at run
ming guard was exceptional. These
two men form the nucleus around
which the team will be built. Doyle,
stellar guard, was out of the game
due to Injuries he received ut Glen
Ullin, but will be able to play next
week.
Dickinson presented a well balanc-
cd team, but was unable to connect
with the basket. Rouquette was
Dickinson's best performer A re.
turn game with Dickinson. has been
arranged for in three weeks. and as
both teams will be in better condi-
ton by that time, real game Is
looked forward to.
The Phantoms will play tonight az
Mandan in game with the Mandan
independents as preliminary to the
Valley City and Mandan high school
game. Next Tuesday the Phantoms
will go to Turtle Lake. Efforts are
being made to arrange game at
Bismarck for next Friday night.

The Parole Board Stands Pat
minneapolis JOurnaD


Concidentally with the Parole Boards refusal to
change it's rules the sciban scandal flares up anew
Warden Sullivan, voting against general tighten
ing up of paroles fails to deny the charge OF Sher
if Pearson of Kittson County that the murdcrous
Scaban was freed of all surveillance after it was
known admittance into Canada had been refused
him.
When Scbans crimes shocked Minnesota into
realization that something wrong with the sys
tenn under which man twice convicted Of banditry
could thus be turned loose to rob and kill there was
a general belief that the Parole Board would do
something itself to mitigate the dangers proved
to be inherent in easy paroles.
The Board Tuesday had it's chanoe, and major
ity OF the five members stood pat after secret
sion. In the long rum the present attitude Of the
Board may turn out for the best for it will stress
in the public mind the urgent necessity for chang
ing any system that makes Minnesotas present
plight possible. And there is need of such stress
ing. For unless the people OF Minnesota are
aroused and demanding action when the next Legis-
lature meets, the organized sentimentaliss, coop
Grating unwittngly with the of the earth, will
have their way and the soft-boicd school of pen
olOgy will triumph once more.
Recommendations for penal reform made by Gov
ernor Preus Crime Commission few years ago
turned down in the Senate, partly because the
criminal coddlers arc always organized and always
know how to find their way aroAnd the State Capitol
The sentimentalists cling their belief that crime
can best be dealt with by Little Lord Fauntleroy
methods-that professional thug, capable of MUIR
dering for money, can be permanently reformed, il
patted the back enough times and told that he is
really wellmeaning man, but unfortunately has
a maladjusted psychos.
The sentimentalists will be organized and on the
job when the next Legislature assemblies. The rest
OF the public probably will not, unless the events OF
the last two months kept fresh in their minds.
They aren't organized. They are too much occupied
with attending to their own business for anything
like that They don't know how to work" the
Legislature. They have heard of lobbying but they
don't know how It, is done.
But II citizens att large are not permitted TO for

Why Advertising Pays

There probably time in the history Of news
an pers when advertising little considered AMI
period when the buying of space in news
pa per that the purchaser could say practical
ly anything he cared to- regardless Of facts, long
IFS no libel suit was involved. Things have very
much changed since the periods referred to. Ad
vertisng is distinct and very important feature
CT practically all publications. Newspapers
establish standard of advertising and strictly ad
herring the principles set forth, gain friends and
Importance through their advertising columns as
we'll in other departments
Advertising having become legitimate and well
thought of feature of the newspaper it has also be
understood by the public and intelligent read
ing OF the advertising pages is part Of the duty OF
housekeeper and business Admitting that the
news sports, society and editorial pages given
first attention. it is acknowledged without reserve
that the well placed and attractivey arranged ad
vertisements get plenty of attention-more than
that, in reputable publications the advertisements
are taken at face value, and become paying in
vestment for the advertiser
When an advertisement is found in a reputable
newspaper, the reader has right to assume that
it is honest advertisement. There was time
when dishonest advertising was used-just SO the
advertiser paid the BILL the newspaper accepted it.
That day. however, has fortunately passed, and now
no good newspaper will print dishonest advertis-
ing il by diligent and reasonable methods It can
ascertain that there is doubt to any statement
made. While lessons have been learned by the
newspapers the advertisers themselves have real
ixed that exaggerated claims and untrue statements
have proven hurtful far more to themselves than to
those who have been defrauded No merchant can
advertise dishonesty and remain in business in any
piace Tor long And so the advertisement in the
pers has become real news OF value the readers,
