lea and he was the high individual
on the Citizens Military Training
Corps teams that year, being cap
tain of the Arizona team. He won
the Chemical Warfare trophy in
1925 and again captured national
honors in 1927. He was quickly ad-
vanced in the r. o. T. G. at the
University of Arizona, becoming
student commander during his last
year there, and was an honor
graduate. At the state rifle matches
at Fort Huachuca, he has been a
consistent winner, and has won q
number of pistol matches.
The record of the Arizona crack
shot is particularly pleasing to his
many friends here, as he was al
most left off the United States
team when it was selected at Guam

18th in the large group of crack
shots trying out for places on the
team, and but ten were to be Sc

record, however, it was decided to
make him member of the team
and he justified this added faith
in his ability by leading his seniors

Harry Noon Renshaw, the Noga-

Holding Company
To Be Formed For
Irrigation Project

recommendation to the Cham
ber of Commerce that a holding
company be formed to raise $4,000
for preliminary expenses for the
proposed dams and reservoirs on
the Santa Cruz and Sonoita rivers
was the outcome of the mass meet
ing held Friday night attended by
persons interested in seeing the ir-
rigation project put through.
Mayor Harry j. Karns presided as
chairman of the meeting and the
principal speaker was j. B. Grand,
Jr., of Phoenix who spoke on the
subject of 1.-THE Feasibility and Pos
sibility of the Dams, Grand, a
member of an old engineering firm
which has had much to do with
building of several dams in Ari-
zona, said that the records of the
geological survey established be-
tween 1910 and 1920 show that the
average flow of the Santa Cruz
river is 10000 acrefeet a year and
that he believes the Santa Cruz
andSonoita together would furnish
about 10000 acrefeet a year and
would irrigate about 10000 acres of
land in the Santa Cruz valley.
F. A. French said that according
to the geological report a 120-foot
dam on the Santa Cruz would store
250000 acrefeet.
It was brought out that the sub
ject of water rights would not be
a serious problem and that the ap-
parent opposition of the city of
Tucson could be ironed out and
would not be great stumbling
block.
Grand said that the project
would result in giving Nogales q
good, solid background and that by
1885. Nogales now with popula-
ton of 5000 will probably have
around $4,000 and therefore will
need more water for domestic pur-
pose.

iff James Hathaway and Deputy
Sheriff Jack Donlin found Johnson
in company with an attractive
young woman named Christian

nest located in cabin in lone
ly canyon three miles north of No

that she had frequented the place
three times during the past month
with Johnson, in addition to having
been "out with him" on several
other occasions.

eight nights of watching on the
part of the arresting officers. When
they broke into the room AS
caliber single action pistol was
found beside the bed near Jhon-
