and such measures as the continual
ton of proper watershed manage
ment practices"
The Salt River Project was or
ganized in 1903 to develop and
maintain the water supply for
25O,OOO acres of land surrounding
boundaries, and also to provide
electrical energy as required by
the growth of the area.
Costs of providing water are re-
duced by the use of revenue from
the sale of electric power.
The Projects irrigation and wa
ter supply system is operated by
the Salt River Valley Water Users
Association, a nonprofit corpora
ton organized under the laws of the
Territory of Arizona. Its electric
utility system is operated by the
Salt River Project Agricultural
Improvement and Power District,
a political subdivision of the State
of Arizona.
Arizona sun., 1961-12-21

Salt River Project shareholders
today approved a $34 million bond
issue to finance construction of
additional service facilities for the
projects electric system.
Voting took place in IL precincts
throughout the project Unofficial
tabulation showed 3,774 votes in
favor of the bonds, and IL votes
against the issue. Official canvass
of the election results will be made
at a board meeting Monday.
Each shareholder owning one
acre or more of land is entitled
to cast one vote for each acre
owned.
Pointing out that the projects
present total of more than 100, 900
electric customers is expected to
double by 1866, President Victor
i. Corbell said the proposed con-
struction of additional facilities is
of prime Importance if the or
ganization is to keep abreast of
the anticipated growth of its elect

agement of the project, but also
indicate the deep interest that is
taken by shareholders in the fut-
ure growth of our organization.
Ten million dollars of the total
to be realized from the sale of
bonds will be earmarked for con-
struction of additional generating
facilities. The balance of $24 mil
lion will go toward the building OF
transmission and distribution lines
and related facilities.
Corhell pointed out that the
planned enlargement of electric
service facilities will benefit both
power customers and water users.
He explained that water users will
benefit because anticipated increas-
ed revenues from the operation of
the power system will help main
tain reasonable water charges in
the face of a continual rise in the
cost of providing water.
Additional revenues from power
sales" Corbell added, will also
help us to guarantee an adequate

New Regulations
Protect Claims
On Public Land

New Federal Regulations will
protect people who have made nom
mineral claims or entries on pub
lie lands from loss of their lands
| if such lands are later found to be
valuable, or prospectively valu-
able, for deposits of coal, oil, gas,
and other minerals subject to lease
under Federal Laws, the Depart
ment of the Interior announced to-
day.
The Departments Bureau of
Land Management explained that,
under existing regulations, if a
nonmineral entry contains fuel or
energy minerals, the person who
filed the entry is asked to waive
any claim to the minerals. If he
doesn't, the entry or claim must
be Cancelled, after due process.
This could work hardship on the
entryman, who may have invested
time, labor, and capital in land
improvements.
The new rules would protect such
a person. Under the new rules,
if the person does not waive the
mineral interests, the patent for
such lands. after due process,
would nevertheless be issued with
the appropriate mineral reserva-
ton to the Government. No action
would be taken to cancel the claim
or entry if the person accepts de-
livery of the patient.
BLM Director Karl S. Land
strom emphasized that surface
owners of patented lands are al
ready protected by existing regu-
lations against dubious prospecting
and development of fuel or enrgy
minerals. Under these laws, a
mineral prospector or developer
must either: Obtain the surface
owners consent for any mineral
activity; or arrange for payment
to the surface owner for any dam
age to the lands; or post a bond
Governing any damages to the sur
face of the patented lands.

adding machine, sharpened some
pencils and began calculating. 1t
took lots of paper.
Factors to be considered were
the states birth rate, death rate,
net annual gain from immigration
and the like. All are open to vary
ing influences and assumptions.
In each instance, Leggett took the
most conservative of his projec-
tionS.
Take Arizona's birth rate. for
example. At present, it's 1873 per
1000, substantially higher than the
national average of 24.3. But Leg
gett points out:
eff Arizona's population tends
to grow gradually older, as seems
likely, it follows that the birth
rate may also tend to decline.
We've arbitrarily assumed it will
decline about two-tenths of l per
cent each year-thus bringing the
birth rate below 20 per 1000 be-
fore the year 2O12 A.. D. arrives
on the scene. +"
AS banker, Leggett points out
that making population projections
is not actually a matter of being
psychic. He explains: wv h e n
people do what comes naturally,
figuring population growth is just
like figuring compound interest. .
It all adds up to a lot of people
for Arizona in the future.
Leggett took hard look at the
1860 census figures before he be-
gan punching his adding machine.
They disclose that only 80, ,225 per-
sons Cor SO percent) are over 65
years of age-a finding that will
surprise those who thought Arl-
zona was a senior citizens colony
primarily.
''In fact, the average age OF
Arizona residents is considerably
below the national average" Leg
gett notes. Nevertheless, he pre-
dicts-as Florida and California
become overcrowded-more peo-
pie will select Arizona for retire
ment.
The bank executive admits his
population projection for 2O12 may
be ION the low side" Under the

Qualified Colleges

At its December meeting in
Miami Beach The Southern ASs0-
citation of Colleges and Secondary
Schools in its last session voted to
admit 81 Negro colleges in the II
states of the Southern Region. The
new president, DR.. William Hugh
McEniry, dean of Stetson Univer-
sity, said that this move opened a
new era of equal opportunity for
all institutions of higher learning
in the South" For nearly 40 years
The Southern Association has been
accrediting the Negro colleges and
high schools in its region but not
until last year admitted any of
these schools to membership. This
made it necessary for the Negro
schools to organize and maintain
a separate organization known as
The Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools for Negroes in
the Southern region. In all other
regional Associations, such as the
North Central to which Arizona
belongs. all regional colleges and
high schools are eligible for mem
bership as soon as they met the
regional standards. The Southern
Association has not yet admitted
Negro high schools to membership
although the association has for
many years examined the Negro
high schools of these II states and
accredited those that met the as
sociation's standards.
President McEniry stated of the
acceptance into membership of
Negro Colleges: "This means in

poor, agreed that each would bring
a bottle of wine to be poured into
a large cask, which had been pro-

his wine for his own use, said to

But, 10, and behold, when the

Sale Of Pinyon
Christmas Trees
Larger This Year

Sale of pinyon pine Christmas
trees from Arizona's national land
reserve this season was larger
than in 1860, but still far below
the desired goal.
Philip w. Solenberger, Bureau
of Land Management forester. said
that about 1,5O0 trees were sold
this season compared to 500 last
year. The BLM offered about 5000
trees in three tracts southeast of
Fredonia this September. Six
sales were made ranging from SO
to / 900 trees per sale, the forester
said.
Pinyon pine are the most COM
mon Christmas tree harvested in
Arizona and are noted for their
heavy and fragrant foliage and for
their ability to keep their needles.
Other Arizona trees used for the
Christmas trade include Douglas
fir, white fir, spruce, Arizona Cy-
press, and juniper. Solenberger
said.
The forester stated that there is
opportunity to expand the harvest
of Arizona trees for both in-State
and out-of-State consumption. He,
said that the BLM plans to offer
several thousand" pinyon pine

Herb Leggett, economist-statis-
tician of the Valley National Bank,
has gazed hard into his educated
crystal ball and come up with the
calculation that, before Arizona
celebrates its centennial in 2012,
its population will have swelled to
12, 900 900 persons give or take a
million.
Actually Vice President Leggett,
who heads the banks research
department, plotted Arizona's
population explosion in five
year steps. Starting with the cur
rent tally of 1,4OO,O persons, he
estimates that the states head
count will climb above the 2,000,-
0Q0s level in 1868 or 1869.
