was careless, there was not time for
vision for stern necessity faced the
sturdy settlers. Now, however, the
west WELL may profit by the exper-
fences of the last three-quarters of a
century and go about the develop
ment of the river with its tremendous
outlook and possibilities in an orderly
fashion.
81 am not sure but that Arizona is
perfectly right to hesitate, " the speak

for disorderly development and so are
other states in the west. We are tired
of this unsystematic development and
want to see what is ahead of US done
in an orderly fashion"
Arizona, however, he said, is the
only one of the basin states still
holding to the policy of riparian
rights-that the waters which have
flowed past her doors for the last
centuries still must flow past them,
no matter what the need or the plan
for those waters. This policy, formu-
lated in the early days Of the use of
river waters for irrigation and power,
absolutely is opposed to the best ex-
periences of the last rs years, which
have marked the development Of the
west, DR.. Widtsoe said
The best interests of all cannot be
served in that manner. The water to

no particular increase in the demand
from manufacturers for raw wool.
Owing to small stocks Of domestic
woods in dealers HANDS, both manu-
facturers and dealers have been pay
ing much attention to foreign woods,
which both here and in foreign pri-
mary markets have been more active.
Foreign markets are firm. though
showing only moderate price changes
since the first of the year. Western
pool managers and growers who have
been holding their woods out Of the
market, hoping for better prices,
have shown a greater willingness to
trade. Texas fall woods have been
sold at more reasonable prices, and
some western pools have accepted
prices considerably below bids that
were turned down in December foe
the same wools. The forecast in
trade circles is for moderate decrease
in prices as the pools unload.

PELICANs MAY LIVE

Pelicans are TO be permitted to re-
main, unmolested, on The shores of
Lake Roosevelt, there to form an at
tractive feature The birds have come
lately to the lake, flying by thousands
from the direction Of the Gulf Of Cali
fornia. They were accused Of feed
ing upon the game and food fish and
their destruction was demanded. 1t
now has been demonstrated by the
Arizona game warden and by repre-
sentatives of the United States bio
logical survey, that the pelicans feed
only upon the almost worthless fish
that are found in the sedgy shadows
and that rank water vegetation forms
a large part of their diet. Deep water
fish are too remote and too swift to
be caught by them.

The trees had been carefully dug up
during the night and carried away.
Who did it, and what for, Mrs. For
derer is now asking the police.
Neighbors Of Mrs. Forderer, it IS
said, are thinking of claiming their
trees in at night. Anyway Tucson has

FAMILY OF BIRDS IS A NOTED ONE
Has Been Prominent in History
 Of Virginia

Richmond Va. March lo tPt-,Al- most every state may produce i'5 family of Tom, Dick and Harry, hut Virginia believes 1t has an unusual combination in the Byrd brothers scions Of one ot the states illuStriol8 colonial families.
 One is governor Of the Old Domin- ion, another an intrepid aviator.eX- porer of the United States navy, and the third a former army officer who won renown in the World War.
 Harry Flood Byrd was inaugural ed governor last month, delivering his address from the south portico of the capital from which there stretches in fleeting glimpses the city founded by one of his ancestors.
 Governor Byrd--one Of the four youngest men to ho called to the cessful newspaper owner and editor and the largest individual grower of apples east of the Mississippi river.
 His climb 10 the governors chain followed activities as chairman of the state democratic executive com mittee and member of the Virginia senate.
 Richard Evelyn Byrd, Jr,, was in the bleak north with the MacMillan expedition when his brother won last years gubernatorial election. Now the lieutenant commander is prepar. ing to lead another aircraft flight into the Arctic region before many months have passed.
 Born an adventure, t1 the words of his mother he early formed a lik- ing for the navy and attended the naval academy. During the World War, he received seventeen citations for galantry and bravery in action.
 His record also includes service as commanding officer of the United States air forces in Canada, a con- nection with the trans-continental flight of the \ C flying boats, and 8. leading part in the organization of naval reserve air stations.
 The third brother, Thomas Boiling Byrd served with distinction in the World war and now Is a business man and smanager of his brothers apple orchards.
 Richard Evelyn Byrd, sr., father of the boys yas a prominent attor- ney and served several years es speaker Of the no $, Of delegates. He died shortly beF,:e his sons $ elcc- ion. his last words expressing regret he could not live to witness the in- auguration.

ART CENTER NOW
 DRAWING BUYERS
United States Is Mecca for
 Traders Of Today

New York, March l2 CP--A Amer ican art dealers, who in the last several years have brought many European collections to this coun. try for disposition, now arc having visits from foreign buyers intent upon taking back some Of the treasures
 These Visitations, however, are not expected to become numerous because the fact that New York has become a great art market leads art dealers to believe that Americans are in a financial situa- ton to pay higher prices. Est- mates have been made that sales here alone this year will total at least sl5,oHo,ooo, big increase over 1925.
 One of the notable examples of the activity of foreign dealers was in the sale Of the Leverhulmc col lection here. Reports were current that the British royal family and others were represented in the bid ding.
 Frank Partridge and the firm Of Charles of London each purchased many of the objects, but most of the collection went to Americans. As an indication of the prices brought by important collections, the total receipts or this one was expected to pass the two million dollar mark.
 The C. K. G. Billings group ot fine paintings, which formerly hung in his home on Washington Heights, brought s401.S0o. That part of the collection of the late Senator Clark not left 10 the Corcoran Galleries, in Washington, was disposed at auction here for s450,ooo.
 Officials of the American Art Galleries reported a particular in terest in rare books, manuscripts autographs and old letters, Ameri- cana also has registered a great in crease in sales, the most important of the year being the Manning, ths Turner-Munn and the Samuel T. Shaw collections. The latter was q group of American paintings,
 Gray probably had no vision that q first edition of his Elegy one day would sell for s3,30o. Two pages Of an original manuscript by Robert Louis Stevenson brought, s1,11o. An original manuscript of one page, written by Robert Burns, sold for $1,00n. A log book and journal hep. by Prince William Henry dur ing his service on Fl. M. S. Prince G"orge' in New York. 17S1-S2, brought $2,o51.
 Three years ago. tho American Gailcrjcs sold Hamiltons prescnta- ton copy of the Foderalst 10 Baron 'nn Stcubn, believed 10 be the only such ropy in existence, for $40 A few days ago 1t again was placed on salo and brought S740. A letter written by Benedict Ar notI after he had betrayed his country sold for, sS,90o. ,..
 Tho$" familiar with the art r, rk"t rlo not expect pri"es to de- '"nase. TEny believe that donations of art' collections, rare books, WanIsctipts. I"tters and auto graphs for public use are taking nHNy oE- thn., treasures permanently from tho market.
 Prominent among these are the ui f,- of | n Mnrpa1 Henry Hunt inEton, A. C. Chapin anu Archer M. Huntington and the S4o.noo,0oH lG.5 the Metropolitan Museum of Ar. by Frank P, Munsoy.

AT BOSTON STORES USUAL
 LOW PRICES"


 LOW PRICES" Over period of years our Comparison Shoppers have furnished evidence that each day selling some merchandise at lower prices than competitors and that No One Store undeTsell5 Us more often than underSell them.
 On the basis of these facts could Use the phrase lowest-in-the- city prices with much justification any other store. But no mercantile establishment matter how large and competent its staff of shoppers may be, nor what its policy may be, keep track of the daily prices of every item of merchandise of all other stores.
 In word policy of lowest prices every day be made fact It is a claim which in practice is NOT possible.
 The growth of our business, over four years of history, has in small part been due to giving good value
 Slogans like "ower-than-esewhere prices and lowest prices in the city, not in keeping with under standing of the modern standards of advertising prac- tice which discourage overstatement and misleading claims and are not we believe considered in the pub lie interest by the Better Business Bureau of New Britain.
 THEREFORE, assertions of this sort are being kept out of advertising, and instead make the plain Statement that merchandise is being sold "AT BOSTON STORES USUAL LOW PRICES"
