ATWOOD WRITES
STORY ABOUT
THE COLORADO

The current issue of the Saturday
Evening Post, probably he m os
widely read magazine in rhe world,
contains an extensive article on the
Colorado river by Albert w. Atwood,
which should prove of especial in
| terest to tht people of Arizona At
wood, who has made IN extensive
study of the rive rim gathering ma
terial for his article, states that not
only is the development Of the Colo
RADIO river necessary from the econ
omic standpoint, but that unless this
is done within the next II years the
river will probably inundate and de-
stroy the entire Imperial valley,
The article explains that the danger
lies in the tendency of the Colorado
river constantly to fill up its own
bed with silt. He quotes Mayor
Bason of San Diego, himself an engi-
neer, as stating: "The longest life
that I have heard given the i'm
perial valley is II years, unless the
river itself is harnessed In other
words, there seems to be an engineer
ing possibility of keeping the river
Out for not more than that length of
"The Colorado river one of the
largest on the continent, discharges
unused into the sea sufficient water
to support in it's territory a pop
ulation perhaps half that in the en-
tire country at the present time, pro-
/ vided the stream was fully impounded
and regulated for domestic irriga-
ton and power purposes Enough of
it's flood waters are said to pass to
the ocean untouched by man ITO sup.
ply the entire population of the
United States for domestic purposes.
a.id the potential horsepower is more
, than half of all the nyGro- electric
rover in the country today. There is
then at least some imaginative excuse
for this outburst from a son of the
southwest:
"Here is this great river, with it's
streams flowing through the states
where water is the basis of life. If
we could make the use that we ought
to make of it here in the Colorado
river basin, there will arise and bloom
the greatest civilization here that
the world has ever seen.
"Look at the valley of the Nile
and the civilization that arose in that
place, based upon the use of the
waters of the Nile. Look at the
Tigris and the Euphrates and the
civilization that grew there. And they
lacked one great factor that has con-.
tributed to modern life, and that is
hydraulic power But coming back to
present realities, it may be said that
nowhere have we such a ruthless and
wasted natural force as capable of
being turned into a willing, obedient
and useful servant of man. The
Colorado river isu today one OF the
outstanding menaces of the western
country, a tumultous, embarrassed and
destructive demon"

INDIANS FIGHT
TAX SUIT OF
APACHE COUNTY

suit to enjoin apache county
from taxing the livestock of the
Navajo Indians, which recalls the
days of SO years ago when tns In
dians were rounded up by Nneraf
Crook and the signing of the peace
treaty in 1870, has been filed in the
district court at Prescott and will be
tried before Judge Fred C. Jacobs.
Named as co-plaintiffs with the gov
ernment in sthe suit are Mr.. and
Mrs. Little -Silversmith and three
daughters, Jane, Mary and Ann, who
are owners of about $500 head of
sheep, zoo head Of cattle and an
automobile. They seek the injunc-
ton on the grounds that the sheep
and horses are descendants of stock
given the family when the treaty
was signed and are therefore exempt
from county taxation.
In resisting the suit, Apache coun-
ty officials declare the Little Silver
walton, mot upon it, but upon land
and which may thus be assessed for
their stock and personal possessions
WhenFtho peace treaty was signec
in 1870, the Indians declare, the gov
ernment returned the tribe to tie
reservation and expended approxi-
! n1ately 100000 in sheep for the Nav

LABOR
GROUPS TO Be
AT MIAMI MEET

A number of delegates from the
various labor organizations in Doug.
las expect to leave Sunday for Miami
to attend the Fifteenth Annual CON.
vention of the Arizona Federation
of Labor, which will be held in the
Labor temple at Miami September IS.
While the delegates to the conven-
ton have not yet been selected it
is understood that Douglas, Bisbee
Tucson, Jerome, Prescott, Superior,
Phoenix and other cities of the state
will be represented.
The convention this year promists
TO be the largest and best attende !
of any yet held by the federation.
Officers of the federation for the
ensuing year will be nominated dur
ing the convention. 1t is expected
that plans will be made for an ex
tensive organizing campaign through
out the state. While the business Of
the convention will be completed Mon,
day, many of the delegates will re-
main in Miami for an entertainment
program that will be given Tuesday.
There will be many progressive
labor measures discussed at the con-
vention which the laws and legis.a-
tive committee of the federation win
present to the next legislature. 1t
will be incumbent upon labor to see
that the members of the last legisla
ture who proved by their votes that
they We're willing to give the work
ing people of this state a. square
deal, be returned to the next legisia'
ture, and to see that those members
who showed hostility to progressive
measures he relegated to the political
scrap-heap.
Some action looking toward the
protection of Arizona's rights in. the
Colorado river will no doubt be taken
by the convention. No group or
class of citizens in the state are
more vital1y interested in Colorado
river development than is labor, and
the problems growing out of such
contemplated development will prob
ably come in for some warm discus

1NvENTs MINING DRILL

A novel drill invented by Wilford
Usrey, miner employed in the Copper
Queen training department., is likely to
become a product much in demand on
the market and thereby mean for
tune for its inventor, according to COM
pany officials who have Inspected the
drill. The new drill, which is now be-
ing tried out by the Anaconda Copper
company, has five cutting edges and
eight gauge edges and is so designed
as to allow for deeper drilling with less
difference in the gauge of the various
