Some progress was made 10
this direction by Mr.. Burbank.
but in was found that thornless
cactus bad little chance to sur.
vive as the leaves were eaten as
fast as they appeared by the
jack rabbits; also IT was found
that thornless cactus, planted
in the desert, quickly reverted
to its aboriginal type aud grew
thorrs for it's own protection.
The desert cactus also is com
mon in Australia and the govern
ment there has been studying
for years how to turn it to some
use. There is legend that the

spread from a single plant
brought into the country as a

LETTING THE TRUTH SLIP IN
(Phoenix Evening Gazette)

The California publicity ma.
chine is so we'll organized that
it is seldom facts about Boulder
Dam are presented to the public,
or the actual truth allowed TO
slip into statements. IL is an
efficient machine. It's work is
far reaching and evident 10 state
ments from New York and Wash
ington, as well as from Los
Angeles.
But once in while a little un.
Intentional frankness will creep
into Boulder Dam items. A re.
cent dispatch from Washington
telling of the coming dedication
ceremonies, says in all in.
nocence:
The project is to save the
Imperial valley of California
from the devastating foods of
the Colorado River. 10 conserve
q water supply for Southern Cal.
ifornia cities where the largest
population growth in the nations
history is under way, to develop
q million horsepower of cheap
bydroelectric power for the
southwest. and provide for irri.
cation of vast acreages.
Special trains from east and
west will bring dignitaries from
several western states, Califor.
MIA, Colorado, New Mexico,
Utah, and Wyoming joining with
Nevada in the celebration. or
the seven western states in the
Colorado river basin only Arizo-
na will be absent 10 the cerem0.
nics. that state. upon whose bor.
der one of the abutments of the
great dam will rest, continuing
its opposition to the project.
Much of that item is literally
true. The project as stated is
for the benefit of the Imperial
valley and Southern California
cities. With the exception Of q
small district about Yuma, no
section of Arizona will get gal.
Ion of water for irrigation from
the project. This state will not
get any hydroelectric power.
It's only possible fnan cial bene.
tit will come after so years and
then only if the entire cost Of
the project has been repaid the
federal government. This pros.
pect could not be cashed in at
a bank for a thin dime.
Yet even in the article in ques
ton. which is unusually honest,
there is one little California-in-
spired touch. The article re.
ferring to Arizona, says that
state upon whose border one of
the abutments of the great dam
will rest" No one would dream
from this that the Colorado ri.
YER runs for hundreds of miles
through Arizona, forms the west
boundary of this state and that in
law and justice the claims Of
this state for water and power
are the strongest of all the seven
basin states.
Arizona does not wish to seem
ungracious, but there is no rea-
son why, this state should parti.
cipate in the coming celebration.
It would be asking too much of
man to expect him to celebrate
the setting of the date on which
bandits proposed TO cut his
throat.

A LAST SURVIVOR
 OF HISTORIC BATTLE

A recent A. P. dispatch from Raleigh, N. C.. says that William Francis Blake. said to be the last surviving veteran of the battle of the Monitor and the Merrimac, died at the North Carolina Confederate Soldiers Home at the age of ninety one. While it is not asserted that MT. Blake was on the Monitor, and 1t may be assumed that he was on the rebel ironelad, Merrimac, yet even so he is not the last surviving veter- an of that historic battle. As long as Thomas Taylor, Oak Hill, remains alive, last survivors may come and go, as they have heretofore, but the Hast survivor" will still survive. Mir. Taylor, Putnam's distinguished vet eran, a powder monkey on the Moni- tor, while we'll advanced in years, is seen about the city almost every day and walks to and from his home on the top of the hill.
