POWER DISTRICT
MAY FIGHT WORK
Verde River Group Considers
Court Fight on Irriga-
ton Project.

by the Associated Press.
The Verde River irrigation and
power district OF Arizona. which was
yesterday denied by the Secretary of
the Interior further extension of time
for the ConSt ruction on Government
land of irrigation works, may contest
the Secretary's decision in the courts.
District officers are considering iiling
an injunction suit to prevent the Sec
retary putting his decision into effect.
The decision yesterday WAS an
nounced as final by the interior De
partment. II was further explained
that ii was held by the department
that all transactions in the case since
the contract of 1920 between the Sec
retary of the Interior and the irrisa-
tion district were subject to the pro
visions of that contract which gave
the district a right of way on Fed
eral land for the construction Of irri-
cation works provided that conStruc-
ton was begun within an assigned
time.
The department has contended that
construction work has not been be
gun. and on January IL, 1926, Secre-
tary Work announced the denial OF a
third application for extension of
time because of this alleged failure
ly the District to perform its part of
the contract.
The District then petitioned on Jan
uary p, for a rehearing on the ground
that in making the contract of 1920
the secretary had exceeded his au-
thority, and also asking for official ap-
proval Of amended plans for irrigation
works. A rehearing was granted with
the result of the final decision an
nounced yesterday.
The effect of the decision as it
stands will be TO deprive the Verde
River irrigation and power district Of
right Of way over Federal land along
the river, which the district asserts is
essential to serve settlers on its lands.
The General Land Office will be di-
rected to promulgate the decision and
10 carry it into effect.

Vast Motor Industry
And Growth Detroit
Subject Talk at "Y"

An interesting and instructive talk
on Detroit was given Wednesday
evening before the knights of the
Round Table at the Y. NJ. C. A. by
Reuben F" Butler of Detroit, now
stopping at the "Y." Mr.. Butler was
we'll versed in his subject and his
talk was followed with close atten-
ton by the boys. Herbert Campbell
presided at the meeting.
He fir. told of the development
of the motor industry from the time
about rs years ago when Henry
Ford was working nights to try out
his first machine, to the present. He
described the motor plants at De-
troit and showed in a graphic man.
ner the Vastness of the industry, inn
pressing upon his hearers the fact
that immense Ford River Rouge
plant, the largest of Henry Ford's
factories, Is the greatest industrial
plant in the world today, even SUR
passing the great Krupp industries
in Germany.
! Mfr. Butler pointed out that De-
troit before the advent of the auto
mobile had been a comparatively
small city, 20 years ago having q
population less than 100000, while
today 1t has a population of approx
imately 100000 and Metropolitan
Detroit, including the suburbs, has
a population of nearly 2,000,000.
To show the great growth of the
city he told of one of the hotels
which was recently built there and
which is IS stories high. It contains
$500 guest rooms together with the
spacious ball rooms and Hobbies. On
top are two radio stations, WCX, the
Detroit Free Press, and WJR, the
Jewett Radio and Photograph Co.
In closing he explained something of
the organization of the General Mo.
tors and of the Durant Motors Co. !
