Stafford, Arizona, (SpeciaD.
Hon. Lewis Douglas, Arizona's
popular congressman, accompanied
by Mrs. Douglas, spent Saturday
afternoon last in Stafford in consul
tation with the directors of the Gila
Valley Irrigation district regarding
the status of the storage project on
the upper Gila for the benefit of
the Stafford and Duncan valleys.
While Mr.. Douglas is the con-
gressman for all Arizona he has
exerted himself in an attempt to
bring about friendly conference
between the officials of the Indian
Department at Washington, the
water users of the upper Gila and
the water users below the San Car
los project in the belief that such
conference would avoid a long and
expensive law suit in the federal
courts over Gila river water rights.
On Saturday evening Mr.. Douglas
was the guest of the directors OF
the irrigation district and the direc-
tors of the chamber of commerce
at a dinner arranged in his honor
at the Blue Bird Cafe.
Mr. Douglas stated that progress
toward conference had been slow
and pointed out the difficulty in
getting action through the Wash
ingtOn bureaus where the tendency
was ito pass the buck" The con-
gressman made the suggestion that
the irrigation district or the state
make application to the federal
power commission for a permit to
build dam on the upper Gila and
was of the opinion that such an
application would bring a. show
down and possibly lead to a con-
ference.
Speaking of the Colorado river
question, Mr.. Douglas expressed
the opinion that Arizona had better
than $3.50 chance in the supreme
court and said that Arizona was
fully justified in appropriating all
the money necessary to protect its
rights.

HOW C|LA RIVER
WAS NAMED

The question is often asked in
this section of the country as to
how the Gila river obtained its
name. A number of answers to this
question are at variance, but the
most plausible one seen recently
is the following, which recently ap-
peared in an exchange:
The word Gila was first and more
properly spelled Xila. 1t was orig
inally the name of an Apache set
tlement at the extreme headwaters
OF the Rio Mimbrenos, or as it is
now called the Mimbres river. The
Xila Apaches after time known
as the Mimbrenos band of Indians
and later lived around Warm
Springs and in the Mogollons. Xila
changed to the Spanish form and
is now known as Gila. after which
the river of that name is called.
The ella monsters are named after
the river, and not the river after
the monsters and all are named
after an Apache village.

BORREE EXPANSION
INCLUDES COOLIDGE

George Nowlin, contractor, has
been busy for the past three weeks
on plans, and then actual construc-
ton of store building for Mr. and
Mrs. Nelson Borree. The building
is being erected on Coolidge avenue
which is the name of the Florence
Casa Grande highway within the
town limits of Coolidge. The new
store will be just east of the rail
road tracks on the north side of
the avenue. 1t has a frontage of
40 feet and is 20 feet in length, the
MATERIAL used being frame and
stucco.
When the building is completed
it will be stocked with groceries
and be known as Store No. 8 of the
Borree chain. Store No. 1 is locat-
ed at Borree's corners, a short dis
tance west of Coolidge, and Store
No. 2 was recently established in
Florence.
Mr. and Mrs. Borree located a
homestead in this valley about
eighteen years ago, coming here
from Phoenix Later a store was
started at the farm and then moved
to land they had on the highway.
The business increased and larger
building was constructed. To han
branches have been established,

CAR LOAD OF FISH FOR
SAN CARLOS PROJECT

A carload of fish containing 12,-
825 bass, 5115 channel catfish, 1000
crappie and $40 Dream was received
in Cutter Thursday evening, Au-
gust %, by train They were in
charge of R. L. Bayless, state game
warden, A. w Yoder, superintend-
ent of state hatcheries, James F.
McManis, president of the Gila
county unit of the fish and game
association, and William Heger,
secretary.
Ten cans of the fish were emp
tied into Apache Lake, seven cans
in Picacho Lake and the rest, 1913
out of 210 cans, went into San Car
los Lake.
During the long ride here from
Wisconsin under the care of three
men, the fish were kept in COM
pressed air tanks and due to the
care, practically no dead ones were
found in the cans. The new stock
of fish is expected to greatly in
crease the number of fish in the
lakes in several months.
There is possibility of another
car being emptied into San Carlos
before very long.
Water for the transportation of
the many fish was kept at an even
temperature all the way from the
U. S. government hatcheries. This
was due to the fact that a sudden
change of the temperature cannot
be withstood by the fish.
The state paid the bill for the
fish, as an appropriation of $4,000
was made by the last legislature
for this purpose.
Many merchants donated trucks
to haul the fish from Cutter to the
lakes and vote of thanks was ex-
tended them.
Sportsmen of the district ex-
their appreciation of the
work of the game association. The
bill appropriating money for this
purpose was introduced from Gila

oversight, Mr.. Mcbride said, the
resolution was not announced dur
ing the meeting.
The resolution also favored ask
ing the contractors to purchase
their material and supplies as much
as possible in the state, and from
Arizona merchants. Mr.. Mcbride
pointed out that the commission
could not force the contractors to
employ Arizona labor or buy from
Arizona merchants, but could ask
them to do so.
The governors letter to the COM
mission follows:
Arizona has been very fortunate
in its enjoyment of prosperous con-
ditions during the recent slump
which has affected almost the en-
tire world. Just now, however, we
are feeling the effect of this de-
preston due to the recent curtail-
ment OF copper production within

C|LA RIVER LITIGATION
prior WATER RIGHT SUIT TO COME Up IN
OCTOBER --OTHER NEWS ALONG THE CHA

The action against WateruSerS
along the Gila river and it's tribu-
taries, filed by the Indian service
in 1925, will come up for trial in
the federal court at Tucson during
the latter part of October, according
to Oliver P Morton, special assist
ant United States attorney general
who was in Phoenix recently from
Los Angeles.
The suit has been on the federal
docket for disposal this fall. date
having been set last spring. 1t in
wolves all water rights along the
Gila river and its tributaries above
the Coolidge dam, and will affect
all priorities. Efforts of legal rep.
resentatives of the irrigation dis
)tricts affected to compromise the
matter have to date proved of no
avail, and it now appears certain
that the matter will have to be
fought out in the federal courts.
All the waters of the Gila and it's
tributaries above the San Carlos
project is claimed by the Indian
service, and that department be-
lieves that it is necessary to make
this claim so that all rights can be
adjudicated as a result of this ac
ton, Many of the water rights
are of long standing, and every
wateruser along the Gila and it's
tributaries within the state of Ari-
zona have filed their claims with
the state department during the
past few years. Those using the
waters of the Gila in New Mexico.
1t is understood, have followed the
same procedure as the Arizona
users.
The federal action will also have
an effect On the division of the
waters of the San Carlos project,
consisting Of 100000 acres, half of
which is owned by the Indians.
After the settlement of this ac-
tlon, one way or another, it is
believed that some steps will imr1e-
diately be taken in regard to the
construction of a dam or series of
dams on the Gila and San Fran
cisco rivers for the storage of
waters for irrigation purposes in
the Duncan and Stafford valleys.

PHILLIPS STORING FOR
ARIZONA LABOR

Members of the state highway
commission were urged by Cover
nor John c Phillips in a letter to
impress upon all contractors to
whom road contracts are awarded
the importance of employing Ari-
zona labor in the execution of their
contracts.
The governor pointed out in his
letter that if all officials cooper
ated in the matter, he felt certain
that much of the immediate labor
surplus in the state would be alb
sorbed. At the same time the gov
ernor wrote to William PEPPER of
Phoenix, recently awarded three
highway contracts, asking him to
give preference to Arizona citizens
in the bridge work he will do un-
der his contracts.
Perie Mcbride, chairman of the
highway commission, announced
that the commission at its meet

Unfortunate Circumstances

Unfortunate Circumstances
"It is sad and unfortunate
thing, as time will fully prove, that
the development of the Colorado
river. a problem of such transcend
ent importance, was not met and
disposed of by a higher statesman
ship, but it has seemed expedient
to our sister basin states and TO
the federal government to ignore
the rights, interests and wishes of
Arizona in this matter They have
attempted to force the Colorado
river compact upon us without our
consent while enacting the Boulder
dam Legislation as the price Of Cali
fornia's ratification thereof; to un-
dertake the construction of this
project within Arizona's borders
over her protest and in defiance of
her laws, for the sole benefit of
Southern California - in other
words, to take from Arizona her
greatest natural resource-upon
which her future development and
growth so largely depends"
Whether that ruthless and un-
wise program can be carried out
as now projected must be decided
by the judicial department of our
government. / am satisfied, how
ever. that in the supreme court
Arizona will stand as the equal of
any of her sister states in SOW
ereignty and constitutional right,
and that her vital interests in the.
Colorado river will be fully recog-
nized and protected.
Trusting that you will under
stand why Arizona is unable to ac-
cept your invitation and why we
feel that at this time we have
nothing to celebrate, remain
