More Old People Nolu

Gradually the number Of old persons is increas-
ing, while the number Of children is decreasing, ac
cordng to DR.. O. E. Baker, government statistician,
who declares that there are now about 10 per cent
fewer children in the United States than there were
five years ago and, about II per cent persons
over the age of 65.
It is well-known fact that the nations birth
rate has been declining for than century. How
ever the actual number Of births did not start down.
ward until 1921 But this decline has been from
y 300000 births in 1921 to around 100000 in 1884
Should the decline in births continue at the pre-
depression rate, says Dr. Baker, the population of the
nation "w increase slowly for about 10 years when
there will be perhaps 100000 more people than now.
Soon after this will Decline providing there is no in
crease in immigration Should the decrease in births
be less rapid the increase in population to the peak
will be greater and this date farther in the future
But in the meantime the number of old people
will increase by about onethrd each decade. This in
crease says this authority is inevitable for they
living now and the number who will die can be es-
timated closely.

ton Service could decide whether
a dam would be worth while. The
same engineer who had the details
of establishing this gauging station
in 1907 is the same Howard S. Reed
who last year approved the dam pro-
iect for the Public Works Admins
tratiom.
For ten years, using funds sub
scribed by the civic organization
the County and the State of Ari-
zona, the gauging station was main
tanned and this record filed with the
Reclamation Service. The matter of
building a dam on the Santa Cruz
therefore was laid on the shelf for
ten years. In 1917, the settlers on
the Baca Float lost their case in
the courts, and, since the dam was
intended to furnish a reliable sup
ply of irrigation water for these
settlers, the incentive for further
action was weakened. Why build a
dam for the Baca Float owners!
The project, however. was retain
ed upon the calendar of the Cham
Der of Commerce and the subject
brought up from time to time. When
the New Deal brought to the fore
projects of merit that would give the
unemployed work, the dams on the
Santa Cruz and the Sonoita were
Immediately brought out of cold
storage and energetically pushed.
The dam on the Sonoita, while
always desired, was blocked by the
fact that the railroad made the
building of the dam impossible. The
abandonment of the Calabasas-Pa-
tagonia section of the Southern Pa
cific brought about the feasibility OF
this project.
The dams are not now being ad-
vocated for the benefit of the Baca
Float Grant but rather for flood
control in Santa Cruz and Pima
counties; the prevention of soil ero-
sion and to furnish lakes in Santa
Cruz County that will prove great
drawing cards for summer and win
ter visitors and add attractiveness

to Santa Cruz County as q resort
county-its ultimate principal in
dustry.
The value Of these dams for flood
control is realized more than ever
since the flood of last week which
took out bridges and destroyed ad-
ditional farm land. No more beaut1-
full environment could be found for
a lake than the Canyon site on the
Sonoita; it will furnish added attrac-
tiveness to the Circle z guest ranch
and others that will surely be es-
tablished in the, vicinity. The lake
on the Santa Cruz, also in a pic
turesuue setting, will give Nogales
a nearby resort location of ines
timable value.
At the same time, there must not
be overlooked the value of assuring
dependable underground water
supply for the Grant lands and the
many farms located beyond the
/ boundaries of the Grant. Cheap
electric power brought from the
Colorado river into the Santa Cruz
Valley will not be of much use to
the farmers of the valley unless
first is established this dependable
water for pumping operations.

Lots Of Noise :
AT Clagett Home

The wedding three months ago OF
Miss Lorena Dixon and H. M. Clag-
ett was celebrated Thursday even
ing by a party headed by A. j. Nit
chell. Paul Arend, j. j. Harris, john
DeBolt and Louis Escalada, who
called at the Clagett home on Craw-
ford street and made all sorts OF
noise.
It was a complete surprise to the
Clagetts ard first knowledge they
had of the affair was when the
visiting gentlemen exploded a giant
firecracker. Noise making devices
such as old tin cans, and plenty OF
fireworks, were carried by the visit
orS.
After about 20 minutes OF much
noise the crowd placed Mr.. Clagett
in a car and took him in an automo-
bile procession through the business
district, then returned to the yard
of the Clagett home to consume a
barrell of beer. which they had
brought to the scene.
But the beer was missing from
Louis Escalada's truck. 1t was later
found on the porch of Former May
or ]. E. Wise where, it is believed.
it mad been hidden by Dr.. Charles
Smith and Charles Wise.

Andy's "Deuotion" To Nogales

The "devotion' of Mayor Andrew Bettwy to the
city of Nogaes to the extent Of refusing position
as head of CCC camp, paying a salary OF sou or
$500 a month, cannot be allowed to go by without
comment
Few indeed are the citizens who would prefer the
fhaness and payless position of mayor in preference
to the paying position as head of federal undertake
Ing.
Such large "sacrifice" on the part of Andy in
order to continue to the dear public OF our fair
CITY should receive it's award
It has been suggested that such "loyalty" might
be rewarded by amending the city charter to provide
some sort of salary for the mayor at least amount
that would provide the mayor with smoking tobacco,
and gasoline for the beautiful new sedan that ne pur-
chased in Tucson a few days ago.
However the movement toward this change in
he charter seems unlikely to succeed it's advocates
are split over the suggestion to provide salary so
the mayor purchase cars and other luxuries
Perhaps it is best that Andys Bible be lett as 1t
it. Undoubtedly some means will be found by Iravel-
ing Andy" to secure the necessary funds with which
TO trot off to Washington, Phoenix Tucson, Calfor-
MIA, and other parts of the world.
Perhaps sudden squirt in insurance business will
solve the puzzling problem, at any rate we are sure
the mayor will find way to keep the wolf from the
door Surely he had idea In his head when ne re-
fused to heed the call of the CCC.
We wonder how the four or five automobile agen-
ces in Nogaes like the idea Of the mayorthe head OF
the city-going out Of town to buy car. The mayor
should be the ctys foremost advocate of trading at
home.
