Cabullona IL miles below the border,

now "a miles north of Douglas
Later, Stillman, as a deputy sheriff,
traVersed the pathless hills and val
leys of the section for several years.
Stillman came to Douglas in 1901
about year after it was founded,
when the town squatted at what is
now Tenth and C avenue, with flat
barren wasteland a block beyond.
tEn and Packard, who came at about
the same time, have watched the
town grow into the second city of
the Mexican border. They have seen
the coming of the railroad, the tele-
graph, the telephone, the automobile
the dirt farmer. And last Saturday
StillInan with his family drove to
Lordsburg to see Col. Lindbergh, for
Stillman sees in the famous young
man the promise of a new era OF
greater expansion for Douglas by
means of the air. ssr
"Go to the fair and you will see
the future of Douglas and CochiSc
county, says Stillman. Fifteen years
ago the first farmers came into the
Sulphur Springs valley. They have
proved that things will grow here,
and they have proved that our soil
is as good as any in the United
States. At that fair you will see
corn and melons and fruit, raised in
our desert, as good as any in the
world
"The future of Cochise county lies
in agriculture-the fair proves that
and cheap electric power is the most
important thing. Many people can't
see what the Colorado river power
projects mean to us. but if you think
q cut it on will see that it means
everything. With cheap power com
ing into Cochise county we can drill
wells and irrigate. With cheap power
our barren range will bloom, our cities
will grow and Douglas will come into
ifs own - 81

RAILWAY TEST
Case COMES Up
OCTOBER FIFTH

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 26 up = A test
case of railway property valuation Of
interest to railroads throughout the
United States, brought by the ST.
Louis and O'Fallon and the Manufac-
turer's Railway companies against the
Interstate commerce commission, was
set for hearing at Kansas City, Mo-,
October by Federal Judge G. B.
Faris here today,
The two railways attacked the policy
of the commission in placing valua-
tion on the 1914 reproduction basis for
rate making purposes. Officials of
the railroads contend that the prop
critics are worth what it costs to re-
produce them now,
An injunction is sought to restrain
the commission from making effective
its order Of last March 81 which di-
rected the st. Louis and O'Fallon COM
pany to pay to the government $780,
878 representing one half of the excess
earnings of the road from 1921 to
1924.
The Manufacturers railroad is a
party to the suit because the st. Louis
and O'Fallon officials contend it is a
part of their system. The latter road
earned in excess of the per cent
allowed by law.
United States Circuit Judges Faris,
Arba Van Valkenburg and Kimbrough
Stone will hear the case.

that amount of water to California

The contentious in the Californ-

the stream is held to be navigable;
for reclamation and as exclusive
