were in the ambushing party, and
they all escaped before the arrival

DEVELOP SMALL
LAND PROJECTS
In ARIZ., PLEA

UCSON-Arizona' hope for fur
ther development lies not so much
in waiting for government devel-
opment of large irrigation projects
or alone in the development of the
Colorado river, but in the cOnStruc-
ton of numerous smaller projects,
which later can be linked IN a
larger and economically operated
giant plan, in the opinion of Fred
erick H. Newell, former chief of
the United States reclamation SER
vice. and eminent irrigation au-
thority.
DR.. Newell was in the city this
week awiting the reopening Of traf-
fic eastward, so that he may con-
time to Ell Paso and thence to
Mexico City, where he will confer
with other authorities, who are
making a study of resources in
Mexico, similar to that made by the
United States reclamation service
in the United States many years
ago.
Construction of comparatively
small power projects, such as are
being built in Alabama and Geor-
gia by damming the rivers and
creeks, is the very essence of logi-
cal development, DR.. Newell stated.
"This is the normal method of
growth and development" he stat
ed. First small projects should
be developed to serve local groups
and then later they can be linked
in one large system. This method
has been successfully followed in
the east. 1t cuts down excessive
costs due to the necessity of install
ing local plants capable of carrying
local peak loads because when all
these local peak loads are merged
there is a more standard amount
of power used.
Rather than group Of smaller
project absorbing the market for
manufacturing power and rendering
the construction of the larger pro-
jects undesirable, the smaller pro-
jects will aid in the development
of the larger project.

Flagstaff Ball Club Cops Northern Arizona
League Pennant By A Wide Margin

FLAGSTAFF-For the second
time in six years the Flagstaff ball
club won the pennant of the north
ern Arizona league by completely
smothering Jerome, runner-up last
Sunday at the CIarkdale ball park
10 to 0.
Grover Hutson, manager Of the
local ball club lost only one game
during the entire season, and that
was to AshfOrk, team that ended
in the second division in the race.
John Aurner, former Tempe high
school star, and more recently of
Greeley, Colorado, where last sea-
son he won Is straight games
while on the mound for the Gree
leyites, only allowed Jerome one
hit and let one man get a free pass
to first.
On account of the heavy rain and
fog at Jerome last week end the
game was switched to Clarkdale,
where the fog was missing but the
1ain came down in torrents prac-
tically throughout the game and the
playing surface resembled a sea OF
mud making it hard hustling for
the northern boys.
Seven of the players on the local
team are members of the Teachers
College Lumberjack football squad.
The boys journeyed to Jerome more
for the limbering exercise they
would get out of it but remained
long enough to pound the old ap-
pie around the lot to completely
annihiliate the Jerome club.
Flagstaff used II men throughout
the game. They were Browning, c;
