i at present is in her mines but that
gradually these great reservoirs of tax
able wealth will be depleted, making
it necessary for some other resources
to be developed to replace them. Even
the reclaiming of much arid land and
the bringing in of new industries will
not be able to fully compensate the
state for the taxable wealth lost
through the depletion of mining prop
critics, the speaker vouched. Thus,
the only thing which can fill their
place is the tremendous power which
will spring from the proper develop
ment of the Colorado"
/ Douglas offered the belief in this
connection that the great Industrial
center of this section ofthe southwest
+, in the years to come will be Cali
fornia, due to it's waterways and other
natural advantages, and that this fact
makes it imperative for Arizona to de-
mand the right to tax the power com
| ing from the Colorado, which is to be
used chiefly in California
"I favor the development of the Col
orado river from the top down and not
from the bottom up Douglas stated,
land therefore a mopposed to the
! Boulder canyon dam proposal"
"The first dam," the speaker remark
ed, SHOULD be built at the head of the
canyon, thus making subsequent pro-
duction cheaper and providing for
proper flood control. A very import
ant factor in the dam propositions is
the flood situation, he brought out,
and adequate protection of the Imper-
ial valley and the valley about Yuma
must be assured by the dams which
are built
Whereas only about 100000 acres
will probably be reclaimed in Arizona
by the waters to be diverted from the
river when developed, approximately
q, 900, 900 potential horsepower will be
made possible for Arizona in the realm
of power. eff we are to have the right
to tax this power, however, the point
of distribution must be- in Arizona and
not in Nevada" Douglas stressed. "The
Swing Johnson bill which would deny
Arizona the point of distribution and
subsequently the right to tax the pow
err he said, will be passed without a
doubt, however, unless this state soon
enters into an agreement with Cali
fornia and Nevada
At this point, Douglas made it plain
that he considers the Nighttime canal
proposal nothing short of a visionary
and impracticable scheme, and stated
emphatically that he had no sympathy
with it in any respect. AS the proper
steps to settle the Colorado river is
sue to the best advantages of Ari-
zona, Douglas recommended, first the
consummation of negotiations with
California and Nevada, which would
call for adequate protection of this ,
state; then the ratification of the river
pact and, finally, the procuring of the
right to tax the power derived from
the river. @sN% |

CosULICH GETS INTERVIEW.

According to the statement Mrs. Nc

gone over the road and had discarded
Rogers statement as having anything
to do with the case.
Deputy Sheriff Walter Morris, who
interviewed Rogers on June 23 and
again on June 26, declares that he con-
sidered that no further investigation
was necessary.
At the time Morris questioned Rog-
ers, the latter told him about a Mexi-
can having appeared at the window of
the Rogers home on the night of June
%, at midnight. Rogers interr0gated
the man and he declared that he had
walked from San Bernardino ranch and
wanted drink of water. The Mexi-
can was allowed to proceed on his way.
Information received in Douglas de-
clared that numbers of supposed auto

boin as carrying California licenses,
had been checked up in Los Angeles and
found to be those of commercial

asked her if she had been in Aqua

No, only three days
"She later qualified this statement by

Officers Statement.

I Charles Cross, Police Lieutenant Les
lie Gatliff and Patrolman c. w. Pat
terson and other American officers,
who made the first back trail on Mrs.
McPherson's trail from Aqua Prieta
! towards Niger Head mountain on
morning of June %, tracked her to a
where they were joined by Silvario
Villa, chief of police of Aqua Prieta.
These officers state that they traced
Mrs. McPherson's steps to point be-
tween six and seven miles from Aqua
Prieta that time, this being two miles
father toward the mountain that the
ranger shelter shack mentioned in the
statement of Presidente .Bouboin of
Aqua Prieta, published in Fridays Dis
patch.
All of the American officers are alb
solutely positive in their identifica4
ton of the footprints to point be-
tween six and seven miles from Aqua
Prieta. They declare that Presidente
Bouboin was not with the party, but
that Villa was with them for the en-
tire distance and recognized the foot
prints and matched them with the
shoes that were worn by Mrs. McPher-,
son when she was brought to a hos
pita1 here.
Gonzales Statement.
Ramon Gonzales, at whose home Mrs.
Aimee Semple Mcpherson first received
aid, June %, was interviewed last
night by Harold L. Henry of The Dis
patch, and in relating the story of aid
ing the women when shei fell senseless
on his front porch, stated he thought
that during conversation between mem
bers of his family, officials who were
summoned, and the evangelist, Mrs.
Mcpherson said that she had ridden in
a car on the day preceding her ap-
pearance at his home.
Gonzales does not speak English
fluently, and admitted last night that
he understood very little of it. There
was no interpreter present during the
nearly two hours time that intervened
between the arrival of the evangelist
at his home and her removal by an
American taxi driver to Douglas.
Chief of Police Percy Bowden veri-
fled the fact that Gonzales knows al
most nothing of English. Chief Bow
den told Dispatch representatives last
night that Gonzales came to the Doug
las police offices to be questioned and
after trying tc converse with Chief
Bowden, who speaks some Spanish,
asked that an interpreter be sent for.
