River Should Be
Controlled by States

The proposed theory of federal
control Of the Colorado river regard
less of the rights of the states through
which it flows, "must be resisted by
each of the states of the arid region,
said Governor O. H. Dern of Utah.
The statement replies to reviews Of
the Colorado river controversy since
the adoption of the seven state COM
pact in November, 1922, and Governor
Dern sees no obstacle in an agreement
between the parties to the pact being
reached before the coming session of
congress.
Without direct mention either OF
the recent addresses of Senator John
son or the statement of Secretary
Work at Yuma recently, Governor
Dern declares the states of the up
per basin are not mere obstructionists.
On the contrary they are all desirous
of encouraging in every legitimate
way the construction of flood control
works along the lower river"
But, he says, they are confronted
with the fact that when the water is
used it will give rise to claims of prior
appropriation unless an interstate
pact which to date has not been rati-
fled by California and Arizona is con-
cluded and ratified in advance.

Do You Want a Little
Deer for a Household
Pet? Here's a Chance

Do you want little deer for your
household pet?
Walter G. Mann, forest supervisor
of the Kaibab national forest, will
provide the fawns for individuals or
organizations, providing some place
larger than the average back yard is
available as a playground for the
pets.
The object of catching, weaving,
breaking, Grating and shipping fawns
is to reduce the number Of deer on
the Grand Canyon national game pre-
serve, which is very heavily over
stocked, and at the same time to pro-
vide live animals for scientific OF re-
stocking purposes.
Mann has notified forest super
visors and other government em-
ployes throughout the country con
cerning the plan Of catching wild
fawn deer, rearing them on cows
milk, alfalfa and bran, and weaving
them in the fall, making them ready
for shipment in October Applications
for the deer may be mailed to the for
est supervisor of Kaibab national for
est, Utah, it was announced.
Wild fawns that have run with
their mothers all summer Will be
trapped in September and October,
Mann says, but most Of the fawns will
be caught when they are born, between
June 10 and July 10, and raised by
forest employees.
"The raised fawns are very gentle
and are desirable for private parks
and FARMS" Mann says. "They also
do well on game preserves, but are
less accustomed to taking care of
themselves under natural conditions
than are the trapped ones. Trapped
fawns do we'll on game preserves and
in enclosures that are not too small
and where there is some opportunity
for them to hide. They are more liable
to become frightened and iniure them
selves in pens and against fences"
The plan of shipping fawns to pri-
vate farms, estates and preserves was
conducted successfully in 1925 and
1926, the demand for the deer in many
parts of the country being great.

Lees Ferry Bridge Will Be The
Highest Wagon Bridge in World

most neck of the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado. From the spot where the
bridge is to be located, the canyon of
the river begins to gradually widen
until it has attained distance of more
than 13 miles across at Ell Tovar
hotel in the Grand Canyon national
park.
In exact distance, the bridge will
be just 10 miles south of the Utah
line. It will furnish an all-year cross
ing over the Colorado river between
Arizona and Salt Lake City. 1t is es-
timated that the first year that the
bridge is opened that more than $4,000
automobiles will cross the structure.
AS time passes, the Importance of
the bridge will increase. It will en-
able tourists who are travelling from
the east to the Pacific coast, particu-
larly Los Angeles, to take the north
ern route to Salt Lake City, then drop
south through Zion national park in
southern Utah, cross the Colorado
river over the Grand Canyon bridge
and proceed south to the Grand Can
yon of the Colorado river, about so
miles south Of the bridge.
Utah, it is stated, has plans under
way for the construction of federal
aid highway from Zion national park
southeast to the Utah Line at Fre-
donia, and after the bridge is erected,
Arizona will probably bring the high
way from Fredonia to the bridge and
from the bridge south to Flagstaff up
to federal aid standard, so that a good
first class road will be available for
north and south travel from Arizona
to Utah.

WATER ASSESSMENT
MAY BE CANCELLED

Nearly 100000 acre feet of water
now is stored behind the reservoirs Of
the Salt River Valley Water Users
association. Announcement has been
made by Manager G.. C. Cragin that
any excess of 100000 acre feet will
mean substantial decrease of the So
an acre assessment on the lands of
the association.
This assessment, a reduction of SO
cents under that of the previous year,
may be cancelled entirely if the stor-
age increases to about j 100000 acre
feet, something even probable if there
is speedy runoff from snow-covered
mountains. This year revenues from
power is estimated at $1,500,000, and
from water rental $243, 900. The prin-
cipal charges are $670,000 to the
United. States government on con-
struction account and S466,000 for
bond interest and retirement. The
commercial value of the power used
for farm pumping is set at 100000.

Captures Car In
24-Mile Gun Fight

After a thrilling 24-mile chase, dur
ing which he was forced to abandon
one car, Deputy Sheriff Frank Gul-
ley captured man giving the name
of Bristown, who, according to Sheriff
Jasper Brewer, of Mohave county, is
believed to have been implicated in the
Littleton, Colo, bank robbery last
week, as well as participant in the
robbery of a store at Searchlight
Nevada, fifty miles west of Kingman,
recently.
Gulley, alone in his car, gave purI
suit to the man and partner, when
they fled in sedan which had been
parked in front of the Arizona Central
at Kingmsn following the deputy's
approach to quiz them late in the aft.
ernoon.
The two men alternated in driving
and in firing at the officer, who re-
turned the fire. Gulley stated about
eighteen shots were fired.
The motor of Gulley's car failed
about eighteen miles out Of Kingman,
He walked to blackberry, where be
phoned Sheriff Brewer, who ordered
all outgoing roads closed
The deputy changed his personal
appearance, secured another car and
returned to point where the alleged
bandits car had left the highway "A
short distance from the road, near an
abandoned mine, he apprehended
Bristown. The second man made his
escape in the darkness.

Capture Big Still
At Cottonwood

Sheriff Ruffner's largest still and
one of the most immense storages of
mash in the records, were taken or
destroyed in a raid on the Quail
Springs liquor-plant said to have be-
longed to Cottonwood men.
Albert Johnson, who is said to live
four miles from the Verde Valley
town, was taken into custody while,
it is charged, he was watching the
still reel off its potential jags at so
much minute.
The 1O0-gallon outfit was taken to
Prescott and became the object of
admiration at the sheriff's office.
But the barrels Of working mash were
dumped out and burned where they
were found This still has been equal
led several times and exceeded twice
in county prohibition annals.
Curiously enough with all the capa-
city which the raid disclosed, the
Quail Springs distill yielded only
about three gallons of liquor in five
gallon keg. Deputies Dickerson,
Munds and Edwards expressed the
confident belief that the hard stuff
taken in the act Of being hard was by
no means all that might have been
found if secret cache could have
been located. And perhaps such fur
ther investigation as the officers will
make may reveal that great store of
ageing. fluid.
Quail Springs is spot just off the
summit Of Mingus mountain, west
and south of Cottonwood and is in one
of the most rugged and inaccessible
parts Of the Black Hills.

ARE POTENTIAL CROOKS

Asbury Park, N. J,-C. T. Sesinger,

regard for the integrity of most of us.
Ninety per cent of the population

Conrad Schmitt, of the Conrad

Other speakers said the decorations
are such horrible samples of western
art that fasteners should never be
allowed to see them.
Oh, it was panning. 1t seems the
decorations were made in the lobby,

Sue On Bonds OF
Jerome Bank Trio

Andrew T. Hammons, state superin-
tendent of banks, has filed suit in the
federal district court against the
United States Fidelity and Guaranty
Co. of Baltimore for $4,000 with in
terest at per cent from September
10, 1926.
The suit is an outgrowth of the
Bank of Jerome failure November
25, 1925, when it is alleged by Ham
mons that the bank had been looted
of $4,000 by three bonded employees.
The bonding company, the complaint
states, has refused to make any pay
ment on the bonds which aggregated
the $4,000 now asked.

A Brief Resue OF Happenings
During the Legislative Sessions

| further provides that in cases Of
non-payment, the assessor may seize
sufficient of the personal property
to meet the taxes and sell the same.
House bin 112 provides for the
levying of taxes to meet the princi-
pal and interest on the old territorial
funding bonds. 1t makes it manda-
tory on officials of counties, munich
palities and school districts to in
clude the levy when fixing the tax
rate, and provides a penalty for fail
ure to do so.
Road Appropriation
House bill $50 appropriates $780,
900 for the construction of the Casa
Grande-Gila Bend highway. The
road will be fifty-eight miles in
length, and will save approximately
ninety-six miles in highway distance
between Casa Grande and Gila Bend.
It's construction was much desired
by the southern counties. The bill
was stubbornly opposed by some of
the Maricopa county delegation, who
saw in the proposed road possibili-
ties for diversion of tourist traffic
from the Salt River Valley towns.
Representative Orme and Finch, of
Maricopa county, were especially ac-
tive in opposing the bill.
Substitute Senate bill Isl is a re-
vision of the bill vetoed by the gov
ernor covering the sale of bonds of
irrigation districts, with the sections
which had brought about the execu-
tive veto eliminated.
Senate bill 85 appropriates $4,000,
payable in installments of $50 a
month, for the relief of Mrs. Thomas
Edwin Parish. Mrs. Parish is the
wife of former State historian. The
bill seeks to reimburse her for un-
requited labor and expenses incurred
by her husband and herself in the
compilation Of Farish's history of
Arizona.
Election Coming
Substitute House bill 1T author
ICES a special election to be held on
Tuesday, May 81, to vote on proposed
amendments to the State Constitu-
tion
The amendments would repeal the
acceptance by Arizona of certain con-
ditions and reservations with refer
ence to Federal lands and property in
the state, which were included In the
Enabling Act as condition for the
granting of Statehood The consti-
tutional amendments are aimed to
strengthen the position of Arizona
with reference to the Colorado River.
It has been argued that in the event
of the construction of a dam at Boul-
der Canyon by the Federal Govern
ment and the sale of power to pri-
vate parties, Arizona would be pre-
cluded from taxing the power plants
or power under the State Constitu-
ton as it now stands.
The bill encountered no opposition
in the Senate, but was opposed in
the House by Representatives Nor
veil, Rogers, Peters, Patton, Pickett,
Mccormick, Jones of Maricopa, Grif-
fin, Finch and Bush
Senate bill 135 provides for the
placing of State lands under Federal
irrigation districts. 1t is intended
particularly to permit the farm at
the State prison to be brought under
the Coolidge dam project.
Senate bill 1873 appropriates $4,000
to cover deficit in the funds of the
State Hospital for the Insane.
