County Engineer Wright of Coconno county has received
letter from the U. S. engineers office in Los Angeles
asking for detailed information the Little Colo

Is the river being navigated at present.? the letter
asked "If so, between what points? During what
period of the year For what size and draft of vesse
What the principal towns and cities along the river?
Evidently Los Angeles and her cohorts in the Metro
potan district convinced that they have the water of the
big Colorado river safely for themselves now looking
for additional water to and matters not nthe
least where to who it belongs If there is other
way of accomplishing the task we sleepy people down
here in Pima county may wake up some morning and
find Los Angeles extended her city limits to include
Coconino county, and that Colonel Breen has gone Holly

beloved Santa Cruz with it's mighty waters and

Increased membership was one of the

hope of largely swelling the enrolment.
The advisability of having the calf club
