SURE-sHOT COMPTON

Orinn Compton on Sunday shot a
lynx in Canyon Padre which wore
one of the handsomest pelts seen in
Flagstaff for a long time. Ernest
Coulter, Ted Spencer and Earl Par
sons were with him hunting rabbits.
At Canyon Padre they walked to the
edge of the cliff and were surprised
to see the big cat sitting on the edge
Of a lesser cliff below. When Orinn
shot he toppled over and fell fifty feet
to the bottom. One Of the boys vol
unteered to bring him up the canyon
wall. Not sure that the big cat was
dead he crept upon him with cooked
gun as these fellows have the repu--
tation of being pretty scrappy when
wounded. He had been killed IN
stantly, fortunately for the kindly
intentioned volunteer, who was amazed
to find that he had made his stealthy
approach with an unloaded gun.

DOUBLE BASKETBALL
VICTORY OVER WILLIAMS

girls game, for three of the team,
June Cooper, and the Meyer girls are
twins. The local girls began their
season last Friday night at the local
high school auditorium by 81. to 19
win.
In spite Of the large majority of
points the Flagstaff girls ran up, the
game was fast and exciting. They
gave fine exhibition Of team work
throughout the entire game, even
though our girls team is inexperl-
enced and has only one letter girl
from last year. The Meyer twins as
forwards gave a pretty exhibition OF
basket shooting. Wilson at guard
played a sure and unusually speedy
game. The girls got away with a
good lead in the first quarter and
held it during the entire game. Camp
bell at forward was the outstanding
player on the Williams team, max
ing 10 points.

from Williams 80 to 9. Although the
score was one-sided, the game was
fast and exciting, both teams show
ing flashes Of good basketball.
Flagstaff's passing was good and
they worked the ball in under the
basket for many close shots. Then
defensive game featured and Williams
was only able to make four field goals
during the game, three Of these from
past the center of the court.
Captain "Babe" Cameron was the
outstanding star of the game, with 1e
points to his credit Prochnow, Brin-

Boulder Canyon Dam Bill a Power
Grab, Says Utah Congressman

Contending that the Swing-John-
son Boulder Canyon dam bill proposes
primarily "a gigantic government
power project, masquerading in the
more appealing clothes of flood con-
troll and needed water for irrigation"
Representative Leatherwood, repub-
lican Of Utah, Monday filed minority
report against the measure.
At the same time Representative
Swing, republican, of California, CO.
author of the measure announced a
group of western members would
call at the White House Wednesday
to inform the president on what he
said is the necessity of its enactment.
The bill was recently approved by
the house irrigation committee.
Leatherwood said the bills pro-
ponents had used the need of flood
control as the foundation upon which
to build a power project and a S31,-
100000 "all-American canal" and
that probably future water needs of
Los Angeles and other California
cities also had been coupled with the
project.
Two other committee members, Re-
preventative Hayden of Arizona and
Wilmington of Mississippi still have
dissenting views to present.
