NEWARK, N, j., Feb. 81 q.N,s9
Deputy Fire Chief James Lynch
today had proved his theory that
the proper way to put out fires is
to shoot them out with shotgun.
When SCOT caught fire in the
15O.foot chimney at st. MichaeIs
Hospital, Chief Lynch put on his
gas mask, aimed his gun up the
smokestack and let go both bar.

and was smothered in itself. No
water or chemicals were used.
There was no damage to the
chimney.

Last year the lettuce crop in Salt

crop, $4,000, 900. The people-l35 900

Growth Of Phoenix.
Phoenix, now a city of about 10000
people, has taken on q metropolitan
air. Its citizens tell you it has no
boom, but It's real estate values have
been rising rapidly during the past
three years. In fact, its real growth
began after the completion Of the
Roosevelt Dam and the other power
which have followed.
In 1901 1t had an assessed valuation
OF but SSH 900. Last year its as
sessed valuation had risen to $751;
625, 900.
It's six banks had deposits of $A,-
800 600 in June, 1910. Eighteen years
later. in December, 1928, this figure
had reached 1850 900, about one
third OF all the deposits In the State
Of Arizona. Its building permits have
shown an even greater expansion. In

From IS to So per cent Of all the
land In Arizona is owned by the United

80 to IS per cent in private hands," said
Charles B. Ward, chairman of the Colo

Arizona. I'VE have about $500, 900
acres of land in cultivation and from
3,500,000 to 100000 available for Gull
tivation If We had the water. Without
water 1t will continue to lie idle, as 1t
has for thousands of years. Water is
our life. our health and our wealth."
The water In all of the rivers in Arr
IONA is already appropriated. This is
why every public-Spirited citizen in Ari- |
IONA Is watching every move now being |
made on the Colorado River. It Is lust |
as important, too, for California. The |
public leaders that have met in this
State have no word of criticism to make |
regarding CALIFORNIA; insistence on its |

River. But Arizona is not forgetting |
that its development has only begun |
while CALIFORNIA; is pretty well along.
In the lower basin, including Cali |
fornia, Nevada and Arizona, there is |
available about 8,500,0OO feet from the |
Colorado" continued MIR. Ward. Los

In Southern California ask another a.
10000; certain vested rights In Mexico
have 100000 feet of it-and there is
about 900 900 feet lost In evaporation.
This accounts for 100000 feet. There

fornia and Nevada. How will this be

DR. WISE CRITICAL
 OF BRITISH PLANS
Attacks Attitude Toward Jewish
 Colony in Palestine

Zurich, Switzerland, July 31 (Jew- ish Photographic Agency) pr. stephen s. Wise, Rabbi of the Free Synagogue, New York, and vice president of the Zionist general council, roundly criticized the Brit ish mandate administration in Pales- tine in an address today at the Zion- ist general congress.
 q would not say that the British government is opposed to the estab- lishment of the Jewish national home in Palestine" Dr. Wise said, however. instead of facilitating it, as it is pledged to do. the manda- tory power adopts a cooperative attitude in relation to the achieve- ment of this object"
 He said the administrators policy in Palestine reminded one of the anti-British movement in India cail- ing itself 'non-cooperating."
 Dr. Wise is in disagreement with the view of the American delegation attending the congress and he ob- tained his right to the floor not by virtue of his membership in the American delegation but by courtesy of the delegation from Czecho- Slovakia.
