SANTA ANA COTTON GIN

One of the most substantial

gin and oil mill at Santa Ana.
This large, we'll constructed
plant is modern and it's equip
ment and of capacity sufficient to
allow for much development of
the Altar cotton belt it was erect
ed to serve.
English capital built it and it
is under the direct management
of j. Fl. Harrison who came over,
invested heavily with his asso
ciates in Altar cotton lands and
and conducted a years expert
ments in growth Of various cot
tons to determine feasibility of
putting in plant at railroad and
to select variety most likely to
prove of highest commercial
value.
The operations Of this institu
ton are however not confined to
Altar belt but include also Her
mosillo and Caieme output.
Trouble was experienced this
year in marketing in the u. S.
owing TO the fact the latter two
named belts are not considered
weevil immune as is Altar.

the q. S. the rest finding market

The oil, much Of which is of
finest grade suitable for conver
sion into food products. was all

Much Of the meal found Euro

Guaymas.
This years ginning reached
only sixteen hundred bales.

ARIZONA AND GOOD, ROADS

Arizona needs more permanent
residents for its up building. It
can take care of many more
tourists, and it can profit them
as we'll as itself. Unlike any
thing that has gone before, says
the Minnesota Highway News
an editorial credited to the Min
neapolis Tribune, this is an age
of automobiles, of good roads
and pleasure touring.
The American people have
billions of surplus income to
spend for pleasure" says the
Tribune, and they spend it.
More and more they are taking
their pleasure in seeing their
own country by motor car. That
is one of the two main reasons
why good roads are being built.
Goods roads attract more tourists
to the state through which the
good roads run. Here is a per
fectly Understandable mutual ef
feet between good roads and
tourists.
Arizona is fortunate in having
good ads,-paved roads that
equal those of any other state in
the union and probably the best
dirt roads in the United States.

opinion of Fred II. Golfer, pre-
sent State Senator and president
of the Arizona Highiine Reclaim.

with the Arizona committee on
the bill before President Cool
idge.
1t was only a scare straw
man intended to be used by the
pro pact and tri state water di,
vision compact candidates to
strike at in order to deceive vot
ers and get over the original
Boulder Dam and Compact.
In the meantime these men
hoped to force Arizona into a
Tri State Water Division Com
pact, or agreement which would
eventually mean a compact be,
tween the seven states concern
ed, knowing that Congress can
do nothing legal with the Swing
Johnson Bi! without Arjzona's
signature to compact and could
not stop Arizona from going
ahead with any development of
the river that she initiated.
NO water division tri state
compact ever proposed could
prevent Us from being forced
into the original compact, but we
could agree upon construction
work by putting dam at Glen
Canyon at the natural and upper
damsite, and building diversion
dam at Bridge Canyon to turn
the water into a highline canal.
By so doing We can guarantee
the upper basin states protection
and grant California and Ne
vada's just demands.
Meanwhile as the construc.
ticn work progresses the courts
would be an avenue to ascertain
the water rights. No other ave
nue. has ever been or could be
found for the equitable and just
division of water.
A water case. at no time,
leaves the court and its decisions
are based on sworn testimony as
to the maximum, beneficial and
economical use to which water
will be put, based on the sacred
water laws of prior appropria
ton tested in the Colorado
Wyoming Decision in the United
States Supreme Court.
AT any period, present or
future, if public welfare demands
that the courts modify the de
c!sion and bring in new water
users Or cat down the water
duty, they can do so.
No one owns water, but is
only entitled to it's beneficial
use. In any water division com
pact, regardless Of how little
water California received. Ari
zona could not be satisfied or
protected because California
would build dam at Boulder
Canyon to make use of her share
of water forcing to Mexico that
water which could and should be
used for reclamation in the Un
tied States Of America, for the
Boulder Canyon Dam is too low
for any purpose except power
development and the irrigation
of Mexican lands. II the Bould
er Power Dam we're built it
would be the key to the entire
