Aha! Likewise Ohio!

Yes. Yes. You are right, Clarice
A solution for the Colorado river
question.
To think that such master minds
as-as-well as the master minds
that have cogitated so intensely and
so YOciferously upon this complicated
problem should have failed to evolve
a satisfactory plan of Colorado devel-
opment! While why, / sat down at
this typewriter and in about two min
utes | had it all worked out. 1t is
unthinkable.
Mo- No! 1t is not my solution that
is unthinkable, Clarice. Please don't
interrupt again.
Now sit right still and | viii tell
you all about it.
California wants the Colorado river.
Well, let her have it. Only make her
give US the Pacific ocean in exchange.
Simple, isn't it?
But what can we do with the Pa
cific ocean? you ask. All, that is
where my genius breaks forth afresh.
We will harness the tides and make
them generate electric power. Then
we viii use that power to pump the
ocean over here, where it will, in my
own clever and suecinct phrase, make
our deserts bloom as the rose.
Of course the water Of the ocean is
salty. So we will give it a stopover
on the way and desalt it. How the
desalting is to be accomplished is a
detail that we will leave to Charley
Flynn. Charley is great on details.
Then we viii use the desalted water
to grow cucumbers. We viii use the
salt to make dill pickles of the cucum-
bers. Just like that.
/ predict that if my plan is adopted
the pickle industry will become an i'm
portant one in Arizona-The Catclaw

LIVESTOCK VALUE IN STATE
TILTS UPWARD IN YEAR

Arizona livestock increased in value
more than $4,000,000 during the past
year, according to report made pub
lie Sunday by the United States crop
reporting board.
The report shows that the total
value of livestock in Arizona at the
beginning Of 1925 was S49,149,000 as
compared to $44 100000 for one year
before, or an increase of about 8 per
cent.
The increase in values is said to be
due to higher prices, rather than to
increased numbers of livestock. A
decrease in the number of cattle was
offset somewhat, according to the re-
port, by the Increased numbers OF

told the committee that the value Of
the property would not exceed $780,
