HICH-LINERS ARE NOW
HICH-TAILINC Gov HUNT

A rift has appeared in the har-
mony that has been assumed within
the state administration forces with
regard to the Colorado river situation.
1t has been understood that Governor
Hunt has been only tolerant of the
highline canal scheme, though neces-
sarily lending it support in his decla-
ration that Arizona has large areas of
land on which to place the half of the
river flow claimed in and negotiations
with California and Nevada.
President Fred T. Golfer of the
highline association for years has been
one of the strongest of Hunt SUPPORT
ers and was Hunts substitute for the
gubernatorial nomination on one sue
cessful occasion. But Golfer has just
come out with a declaration that
Hunts river conference committee is
proposing "tO throw away all our
vested and constitutional rights" it's
proffers to the other lower-basin
states being declared to pave the
way for ratification of the compact
and for the development of treacher-
Gus schemes for the building of the
Boulder Canyon dam and the Dia-
IllOIlu AIcch udliiS HldfILlB 1HlpOSSlUlC
the building of the highline and the
Bridge Canyon and Glen Canyon dam.
Rights to these are asserted to have
been established, and it is asked
why, for heavens sake, should we
now throw away these rights? ?"
Prior appropriation is claimed for
3,500,000 acres. Arizona is declared
left "to the mercy of power trust
wolves" and to Mexican appropriation.
The division proposed by the COVER
nor's committee is declared unfair and
a surrender, and assertion made that
the committee proposes chat all dam
sites shall be selected by pro-pact of
ficials."
From highline sources have come
intimations of resentment over the
prominent part in the interstate ne
gotiations that has been taken by Pri-
vate Secretary H. S. McCluskey, who
has been considered the governors
especial representative in the nego-
tiations.

VEHICLE OPERATION
PERMITS EXTENDED

All permits and certificates author
iZing their holders to operate motor
vehicles in the state for compensation
now in force were extended under an
order issued by the Arizona Corpora
ton commission to December 81, 1926
The order also requires that all in
surance companies covering motor We
hicles operated as common carriers
shall be for periods which expire on
June 30 or December 81 of each year.
The insurance companies are given 30
days in which to comply with the pro-.
visions of the order.
The commission states in its order
that in the future all permits or cer-
tificates issued by it for operation of
motor vehicles for compensation ex-
cept those issued for longer periods
than one year will expire each year
on December 81 of the calendar year
in which the authority was granted.
In the case of those permits or GER
tificates in excess of one year, these
win expire on December 81 of the cal
endar year named for the expiration
of the authority, the order states.
The new rule is made in order that
all permits and certificates issued by
the commission for the operation Of
motor vehicle common carriers will
expire at the same date each year in
stead of at intervals of one year from
the date of the issuance of the permit
as in the past.

GILA VALLEY TO BE
IRRIGATED BY PUMPS

Jules L. Vermeersch and associates
will begin in January the reclamation
by irrigation pumps Of about 5000
acres of arid land in the Gila valley
and 1900 in the Aqua Fria valley, ac-
cording to an announcement made by
the Phoenix engineer. Vermeesch
stated that it was very probable that
5000 acres would be added to the land
to be reclaimed in the Gila valley.
Vermeersch said that the reclama-
tion of the land was new departure
in his engineering activities in Ari-
zona. He explained that it is the in
tention of his associate and himself to
divide off various parts of the land
into farm and ranch areas on which
will be built modern irrigation prof.
ects developed from pumped water
Crops will be put in and after the
areas have been fully developed into
going concerns they will be disposed
of to reliable farmers at attractive
prices and advantageous terms.

PRESIDENT GREETS BOY
SCOUTS OF AMERICA

Washington, D.C.-Through the Boy
Scouts, Lone Scouts and the All clubs
outdoors-loving young America has
received a special message and Christ
mas greetings from President Cool
idge. The letter issued at the White
House today is as follows:
"As you are representative of the
organizations of the boys and girls OF
America who live in or are interested
in the open country, with which
come into an official relation, | want
to extend to all of you Christmas
greeting. 1t seems very short time
ago l was boy and in the midst of
farm life myself helping to do the
chores at the barn, working in the
corn and potato fields, getting in the
hay, and in the springtime doing
what most of you have never had an
opportunity to see-making maple
sugar.
81 did not have any chance to profit
by joining scout organization or a
Al club. That chance ought to be a
great help to the boys and girls of the
present day. 1t brings them into as
sociation with each other in a way
where they learn to think not only
of themselves, but of other people.
1t teaches them to be unselfish. 1t
trains them to obedience and gives
them self-control. A very wise man
gave us this motto-'Do the duty that
lies nearest YOU 1t seems to me
that this is the plan of all your or
ganizations.
1--WE need never feel that we shall
not be called on to do great things in
the future, if we do small things we'll
at present. 1t is the boys and girls
who work hard at home that are sure
to make the best record when they
go away from home. 1t is the boys
and girls who stand we'll up toward
the head of the class at school that
will be called on to hold the important
places in political and business life
when they go out into the world.
"There is time for play as well
as time for work. But even in play
it is possible to cultivate the art of
well-doing. Games are useful to train
the eye, the hand and the muscles, and
bring the body more completely under
the control of the mind When this is
done, instead of being waste of time,
play becomes means of education.
"It is in all these ways that boys
and girls are learning to be men and
women, to be respectful to their par
ents, to be patriotic to their country,
and to be reverent to God. 1T is be-
cause of the great chance that Ameri-
can boys and girls have in all these
directions that to them, more than to
the youth Of any other country, there
should be a Merry Christmas

Little Gladys Youngblood, the only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. C. I.
Youngblood, was very seriously burn
ed about the hips last Saturday morn
ing when her clothing caught on fire
from piece of kindling wood she had

stick and held it behind her in the
hopes of getting outside without being
seen and in doing this her clothes
caught on fire.
At the first screams from the child
the mother was at her side and had
the fire extinguished before the rest
of the family were aware of it. The
child was quite seriously burned and
Mrs. Youngblood was burned slightly
about the hands and arms.-Snow-

ARIZONA LOSES $4,000.
BY WAVING GRAZING FEES

The state of Arizona lost SOC. 900
during 1925 through the waving of
grazing fees in the state, according
to Will G. Barnes, assistant United
States forester. Mr.. Barnes state
ment is contained in letter accom-
panying the annual report of the
chief forester of the United States
forest service.
"You will note in the report" !"
states Mr.. Barnes, "that the forest
service spent over $23,0O0,O00."
Congress passed law authorizing
the waving of grazing fees on GER
tain areas in the southwest where
drought conditions were serious and
the forage was undoubtedly extremely
scarce. This was a just remission,
but it, of course reduced our income
by several hundred thousand dollars.
Incidentally it also cut hole in the
income of the states concerned. Under
the law, as you may know, each state
gets 25 per cent of the gross receipts
from the forests within it's boundar-
les. The state of Arizona, for in
stance, in 1925 lost $4,000 which
would have been derived from the
grazing fees had they not been re-
mitted This is a striking illustra-
tion of the need for care in taking
such action, especially today when the
stockmen are making strong demands
on congress for the reduction of graz
ing fees.
In reference to the recreational ac-
tivities in the national forests, Mr..
Barnes says:
We find ourselves tremendously
handicapped for funds with which to
take care of the ever-increasing num-
Der of visitors to the national forests.
In round numbers, more than 100000
coo people were our guests last year
for shorter or longer periods. They
came from every state in the union
| in ever-increasing numbers. 1t is
useless to say that the national parks
have been established for this pur-
pose and the forest service should not
expend either time or money in taking
care of visitors Because of the in
creased fire hazard created by visitors
anything we may do toward cOncen-
trating them in established camps
where facilities are furnished for
building camp fires aids us in our fire
| fighting program.
During the past year nearly 1900
miles of new roads and over 1000
miles of trails have been built in the
national forests.
There are now over 130 state game
preserves within the national forests,
covering more than 100000 acres
of land. There are also over mil
lion acres of federal game preserves
within the national forests, establish
ed by acts of congress. The state
game preserves, as you may under
stand, are established by the state
legislatures. The forest service, as
far as possible, undertakes to see
that such areas are properly pro-
tected from competitive grazing be-
tween livestock and the game animals.
In many cases we absolutely prohibit
all grazing Of livestock. On certain
areas the grazing of sheep only is
prohibited. The stockmen naturally
feel that this encroachment on stock
ranges which they have used for many
years should not be extended. Game
is one of the forests greatest attrac-
tions and resource of no small value.
Efforts are made to give the stock
interests their fair share of the
ranges and at the same time provide
range for a reasonable number of big
game animals.

Longer School Days
Doomed By Vote
of Parents

Washington school children
have little to fear in the way Of
longer school days or school on
Saturday, according to returns
on the questionnaire ballots sOnt
out last week BY the Boar
Education, Harry o. Hine, I'D.
secretary, said today.
Since the questionnaires we're
sent out, answers have Deen
coming in thick and fast. AL
ready about Is citizens and
parent teacher organizations
have replied with emphatic OPP
position.
The trend against the PROPOSE
ton is unmistakable, since the
smallest majority against is
three to one. In many cases
the bodies were unanimously
against the plan.
By the time all Washington
precincts" have voted, it is
expected that opposition will be
so overwhelming that the plan
will be abandoned.
