RUBE NELL ACTS AS HIS
OWN LAWYER AT WINSLOW|

Before a court room crowded with
spectators, most of whom were Mexi-
cans, assistant marshal r. L. "Rube"
Neill appeared before the city coun-
ell Tuesday night to defend himself
against charges brought by represen-
tatives of the Mexican population of
Winslow, intended to show conduct
unbecoming an officer in the handling
of Mexican prisoners. d. E. Nc
Laughlin of Holbrook, acted as coun-
sci for the compliments, while Neill
acted as his own attorney, cross-ex-
amining each witness and defending
himself ably.
Witnesses called by Mclaughlin
were Mrs. George Roberts, Pete Sui
que, Pablo Garcia, Catarino Cutter
rez, Vicente Castillo, Joe Schultz and
Pete Rubi. Jose Villascusa was also
called, but was unable 20 attend the
trial, being incarcerated in the jail.
Gutierrez was recently arrested by
Neill, and is alleged to have attempt
ed to stab the officer at the time the
arrest was made. In defending him
self, Neill knocked the man uncon-
scious with blow from his gun.
Gutierrez later pleaded guilty TO
driving while intoxicated, and paid a
500 fine, although at the trial he
testified that he had not been drunk.
After the testimony and cross ex-
animation was finished and McLaugh-
lin had made his summing-up state
ment to the council, Neill entered
a general denial to the testimony ex-
cept in one particular in which it was
testified that he had used strong
language in addressing Jose Villas
cusa. Concerning this, Neill stated
that the Mexican had accused him of
an act of which he had not been
guilty, and that he had called the
man a liar with various trimmings,
and further stated that the man had
lied, and was a liar, and that he
(Neill) was still prepared to state
that this was the case, and prove it.
Neill's record here as an officer is
one Of efficiency and bravery, accord
ing to the majority of local citizens.
He has at all times been a strict up
holder of the law, and has shown
himself time and again to be utterly
without fear in carrying out his
duties, and while the council has re-
served it's decision on the case, it is
believed that the council will uphold

But their water supply Is precan-
ous 1t takes a great deal of water
to irrigate 100000 acres with even
the minimum of 212 acre feet per
season. Sometimes they have enough
water. Sometimes the supply dimin-
ishes to a most uncomfortable and
even damaging extent during the
spring and early summer months be-
fore the summer rains swell the Colo
rado. Their present source of supply
is the Laguna dam on the Colorado.
Practically the Laguna is a diversion
dam. 1t is not storage dam as we
of the Elephant Butte and Roosevelt
projects understand the term. Con-
sequently it frequently happens that
Imperial valley farmers find times
when there is not enough water for
them when they most need it.
'It is an assured and adequate wa
ter supply we really are after" said
one representative citizen, chamber of
commerce director and civic leader.
But we know we would make no inn
preston on congress by asking for
water. Too many communities need
water. Our only chance to get action
by congress. is to appeal flood
protection
"This last is mentioned only Incl
dentally. 1t has no particular bear
ing on the main point, which is that
California is campaigning for all that
is to be had from the Colorado river,
or at least all she can get.
ARIZONA must not enter into any
agreement which does not fix defi-
nitely the amount of water in acre
feet that may be diverted to the Ari-
zona side, and which does not give
Arizona as much electric power as
possibly can be put to work within
that state.
CAS- between Arizona and Califor-
MIA, Arizona deserves first call on the
water and electric power of the Colo
rado. The river flows through Ari-
zona before it reaches the western
border and flows seaward between
Arizona and California. Its major
tributaries arise in Arizona water
sheds and pour their waters into it.
These belong to Arizona to the ut
most extent she may be able to use
them. California makes no contribu-
ton Of any kind to the Colorado.
"Let Arizona stand pat on her own
rights and see to it that she does not
allow herself to be persuaded into
signing away any part of this most
valuable heritage"

MIAMIAN KILLED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Roy CASTELAR,, proprietor of the
Smoke Shop, fight promoter and
athletic fan, well known throughout
the state, was killed in an automo-
bile accident on the Miami-Globe
highway Friday. He was riding at
the time as a guest in car coming
from Globe where he had gone with
another party and was given lift
on the return to Miami The car in
which four other guests and the driv-
er were riding, left the paved high
way at curve, turning over and

III Paso Herald Takes Sides With
Arizona against Calif foraia's Greed

The following editorial in the 81
Paso Herald is an indication that
other states are coming to fully real
ize the greedy attitude of California
relative to the Colorado river. Pres
sure brought to bear on eastern con-
gressmen and senators is the great
hope of Arizona, otherwise it may be
overwhelmed by the political super
iority. The Californians maintain q
paid lobby in Washington while Ari-
zonans have been merely quarreling
among themselves.
The Ell Paso Herald says:
IF one visits awhile in California,
the reluctance of Arizona to enter
into an agreement for damming the
Colorado river, diverting its water
and generating electric power is bet
ter understood.
Furthermore, if one be an Ell
Pasoan, ones sympathies must be
with Arizona.
That state, in refusing to ratify
the Colorado compact, and opposing
the Boulder Canyon dam, proposed to
be built under the terms of that COM
pact, is doing no more than insisting
that her rights be protected.
"The protection of those rights is
most important. The rights exist and
they need protection.
From Gov. Richardson on down the
line, Californians talk as if the Colo
RADIO river existed only for their ben
eft. The delay is building the Boul-
der canyon dam and allowing them
to profit by it they resent as an un-
warranted obstruction placed in their
path.
Zone does not hear any of them
talk about the diversion of water TO
the Arizona side of the line although
Arizona has planned to irrigate more
than million acres from the Colo
RADIO.
.'One does not hear them talk of
the transmission of electric power
into Arizona, although Arizonans
have planned to electrify all rail
and furnish cheap electricity for
pumping to many a fertile but arid
valley remote from the power lines
now in existence.
"The sole thought in California is
that Of using the ColoradO's water
Tor irrigation in California and for
increasing the water supply of Los
Angeles, and of using the power pro-
posed to be generated at Boulder
canyon dam for the benefit of Cali
fornia industries.
"Californians do not say no other
state has any claim on the Colorado,
but their thought very definitely
takes that trend. Perhaps they
themselves do not realize it. Gener-
ally speaking, Californians are broad,
fair, friendly and generous. They
would be panied to read that anyone
believed them selfish in the matter
of Colorado river development.
at merely is part of the California
habit of mind to think that the sun,
The Coconino sun., 1926-07-16

moon and stars above, the Pacific
| ocean on one side and the Colorado
river on the other were put in their
places by Providence for the glory
comfort and profit of California.
"In some respects that habit OF
mind is wonderful possession. In
no small degree it accounts for the
truly marvellous development that has
ocurred within the state. Would that
El Paso had some portion of the same
spirit. But when carried to extremes
it is apt to be hard on the neighbors
however good for California.
$50 it is with the California atti-
tude toward the Colorado river and
the Boulder canyon project.
Gov. Richardson, in an address in
San Diego last Monday night, struck
the keynote when he appealed to the
press of the nation to bring pressure
for the construction of the project
How this was to be accomplished with
the unaltered opposition of Arizona
he did not say. In fact, after men
tioning briefly the refusal of Arizona
to ratify the Colorado compact and
the failure Of the joint legislative
conferees of California and Arizona
to reach an agreement for the divi-
sion of water and electric power to
be derived from the Colorado, he dis
missed Arizona completely from con-
sideration.
"He spoke only of the benefits Cal
lfornia expected to receive from the
Colorado. He mentioned the protec-
tion of the Imperial valley from
floods and the possibility of bringing
tremendous new acreage in Califor-
MIA under cultivation from the Boul-
der canyon dam. He spoke of ihcreas-
ing the Los Angeles water supply,
and of furnishing electric power to
users throughout the state. 1t was
inevitable that many of the cover
nor's audience must have left with the
impression that the Colorado river
existed only for California's sake.
And they must have wondered why
Arizona was so unreasonable as to
stand in the way of CalifoInia's cash
ing in on this resource of so great
potential value.
"Los Angeles people look to the
Colorado chiefly in the hope of in
creasing their water supply. They
know they must have more water
from somewhere. The Owens river
supply is even now not quite ade-
quate. 1t was not intended to meet
the requirements of a city as large
as Los Angeles has become, and it
will be quite insufficient as the city
continues to grow.
Imperial valley also wants water;
more accurately, an assured water
supply.
'The flood protection appeal is-cam-
outage. Frank residents of the val
ley will tell you so. They assert there
is little or no danger of floods over
coming the protective devices that al
ready exist.

The origin Of the fire has not yet
been determined, nor has. the dam
age done by the fire been given a
figure, but a conservative estimate
would place the total damage to all
three of the structures affected at
not less than 81 500. The bulk of
this damage was done to the McQuil-
Ian residence, and includes damages
by fire and water. Neighbors and
volunteer fremen carried almost all

utes for the jurors to consider the
evidence-and that's all there was to
the conviction of Mark Lytle, Mo-
have county man, charged with sell

ure following the submission of a two
day liquor case last week was short,
pressed the Lytle case through to a
conclusion in this swift manner and
then sentenced Lytle to pay S100 fine.
In two weeks no federal court day
has passed without from one to a
dozen liquor fines being imposed or
