Chicago, Dec. R - Scores of American operas have been written and produced. but not ono has achieved enough Aopularity to war rant more than one or two repeti- tions. and for most of them the pre- miere also was the last showing.

Music critics believe that increasing frequency of the appear ance of American music on the pro. grams of leading organizations, and particularly in the field of grand op- era. Is the result of a growing in- terest and demand from the music public.

 The Portland opera company will give "Winona," composed by Alber- to Bimboni of New York city, on libretto by Perry Williams, for merly of the Minneapolis Tribune.

300 CARS MELONS
SHIPPED THROUGH
HERE THIS WEEK

Melons frfom the Salt River val
ley are reaching their peak of pro-
duction and shipping for the year,
according to local railroad men.
Over 800 cars of melons have pass
ed through Winslow this week, and
the ice plant has been kept busy
re-icing the big yellow ''reefers"
that carry the Arizona-produced
fruit to it's eastern destination.
Advices from the valley state
that almost 100 cars a day are NOV
ing from points there, during the
heaviest movement. One days
shipping was reported as rs cars
over the Santa Fe and Is cars over
the Southern Pacific.
The Santa Fe is loading it's reef
ers at Alhambra, Glendale, Peoria,
Jack, the Phoenix Fair Grounds
and at Phoenix, and expect to han
die total of 1000 cars of melons
this season. If these expectations
are realized, with the 1000 cars
the S. P. plans to ship, it will
means that the 1926 melon crop
will greatly exceed that of last
year. The S. P quota is nearly
double that of last season, and the
Santa Fe shipment will be much
greater than ever before.
The peak of the melon shipments
is expected to be reached between
July 4 and 10. This means that the
movement will increase each day
until that time, when the number
of cars loaded will begin to dwin-
die. Both railroads have added ex-
ira crews to handle the shipments,
and the movement is being acceler-
ated in every way, farmers report,
insuring larger returns to the
growers.

Phoenix Lad Dies
When Accidentally
Shot While Hunting

PHOENIX = Noble Lannigham,
Is, of 1710 West Grant street, died
at $3.50 Monday night in the Ari-
zona Deaconess hospital from the
effects of a 20 calibre rifle bullet
which lodged in his brain. He was
accidentally shot as he was hunt
ing with his boy companion, Char
ley White, on the Coyerdale ranch
west of Phoenix.
The accident happened between
6 and z o'clock Monday evening.
Young White said Lannigham and
he were separated when he heard
a shot behind a bush and running
around the bush saw his chum fall
to the ground. Residents at the
Coverdale ranch brought Young
Lanningham to the Deaconess hos
pital.
Lanningham was shot in the face,
the bullet entering below the right
eye and lodging in the brain. The
county attorneys office and the
sheriff's office are investigating,

Testimony relating to the opera
tion of trains in Arizona, and par
ticularly to the housing conditions
at division points where the train
men are required to spend from
eight to ten hours between runs,
was given before the Arizona cor
poration commission at the inves-
tigation of train operation begun
this week by the commission.
Between As and so representa-
tives of the various brotherhoods
and the railroads in the state as
sembled for the hearing, which is
being held in the house chambers
in the state capitol. The inquiry
is being conducted by Loren
Vaughn, chairman, and Amos A.

bers.
The greater portion of the day
was spent with the presentation of
arguments by the counsel for the
railroads in support of the conten-
tion by the roads that the corpora

commission relative to train Oper-
alton in Arizona.
The entire day Tuesday was de-
voted to the taking of testimony
from the trainmen and employees
of the railroads. 1t is expected that
the officials and representative of
the railroads will next present
their testimony. The hearing, which
began Monday, is expected to last
probably three days.
Considerable testimony was Civ
en- Tuesday relative to the PROPOSE
tion of requiring the railroads to
equip their locomotives with Gu
pola on the tender for the conven-
ience of the head brakeman, espe-
cially during the inclement wealth
er.
This part of the investigation
was started in 1923 but was not
concluded and was made a part of
the investigation ordered by the
commission into the train opera
tion in the state. Testimony also
was given relative to housing con-
ditions at the division points.

various matters relating to train
operation.
The inquiry, which was started
by the commission on it's own ini-
tiative, has a two-fold purpose, it
was stated by Commissioner Belts.
One phase, he said, relates to
whether the railroads should be
required to equip their locomotives
with cupolas for the safety and
convenience of the head brakeman
during inclement weather, while
the other phase takes in every de-
tail of train operation as related to
the convenience, comfort and safe
ty of the employees.
The latter part of the inquiry,
Mr.. Belts said, will touch particu-
larly on the question of the num-
ber of men employed in each crew
and the matter of the handling of
train orders by trainmen over the
telephone instead of by telegraph.
Every railroad in the state over
six miles in length is represented
at the hearing. Many of the divi-
sional officials of the transcOntin-
entail roads are present, as we'll as

Seek To Bridge
Grand Canyon at
Marble Gorge e

The Arizona Good Roads associa-
ton has one outstanding ambition
that is to secure the construction
of bridge over a site seven miles
below Lees Ferry, at the upper end
of Marble Canyon, where the gorge
of the Grand Canyon begins.
With its construction within the
next two years, a conservative es-
innate places the number of tourist
cars diverted from the return trip
through southern Utah as 10000,
with a source of revenue to the
state not to be lightly overlooked.
The bridge will cross the Colo
RADIO where the span is approx
mately 900 feet with a drop to the
bed of the river of 1000 feet 1t
will be one of the masterpieces of
engineering and the link which
connects up an unbroken chain of
good roads throughout the state.
Thousands of tourists each year
come from the north through Ced-
ar City, Utah, down to the north
ern rim of the Grand Canyon, and
are compelled to double back on
the route, because of the hardships
encountered over the ferry. The
road which reaches the ferry runs
through the Kaibab forest, and at
Lees is the only commercial cross
ing within an area of 400 miles. Be-
cause of the fact that the forest
lies off the beaten track, few tour
lists coming from the north dream
of the marvellous beauty of the
country, and consequently never
see the herds of comparatively
tame deer which run the ranges.
Arizona has been a closed book
to tourists coming in from the
north, but with the construction of
the bridge over the Colorado, every
playground of the state will be ac-
cessible to the traveller
The United States government
has appropriated 100000 for the
construction of the bridge, which is
to be matched by a like amount
from the state. The Good Roads
association is working untireing-
ly for an appropriation from the
state and it is believed by the or
ganization that a short time will
see the link of connection become
an actuality.
