Coulee Dam, Biggest Thing On Earth There may be question in the minds of some people as to the ultimate size and scope of the Grand Coulee dam project, but not in the minds of the United States bureau of Reclamation, charged with construction of this gigantic project. In a new release just received the Jmreau says: "At the present rate of progress the dam will be completed in 1941 and sufficient generating and pumping equipment will be installed to deliver water to the project lands." That's a pretty flat statement. Apparently the bureau of reclamation hasn't any doubt that the dam is going to be a HIGH dam and that it will eventually be a reclamation as well as a power project. : . If the reclamation bureau keeps control of the project, and is backed up by enthusiastic support of people, congressmen congress-men and officials of this nation, .there is no reason why that pridfction of a completed dam in 1941 cannot come true. Incidentally, the bureau proudly announces that the Coulee dam is now the BIGGEST MAN-MADE THING ON EARTH surpassing Boulder dam already, despite the fact the huge structure is far from finished. Contrast of Coulee with the great pyramid of Egypt presents an interesting comparison between the modern and the ancient world. Five thousand years ago Cheops enslaved 360,000 men for 20 years to build a tomb for himself the great pyramid. Until Boulder dam it was the biggest man-made work on earth. At Coulee some 6000 free men will. build a structure three times as great as the pyramid in about one-third of the time. Compare 360,000 slaves 6000 free men 20 rears seven years a worthless tomb a great development That's the difference of 5000 years- the difference between be-tween ignorance and learning, between oppression and enlightenment, en-lightenment, between tyranny and democracy. That's progress. The Advance -of Civilization Ironic in the extreme is the horror expressed by the western world at Japan's decision to force civilization in NorthChina at thepoint of a bayonet. Until a century ago Japan herself was innocent of civilization civil-ization as we know it. We brought it to her. Now she likes it and wants North China to have it. No Japanese can understand the attitude of Americans toward her conquest of the mainland of Asia. America brought civilization to the Philippines, to Panama, to Nicaragua Nica-ragua in the same manner in which Japan is bringing it to Manchukuo and now wishes to bring it to all the northern Chinese provinces. The Japanese hat-e recently issued a magazine describing describ-ing the advance of . civilization in the once benighted and backward Manchukuo territory. The magazine proudly displays dis-plays picture's of electric light and power plants strung out across the plateaus that once knew only the tread of the camel caravan. Now that Japan has learned western civilization and the western method of spreading civilization by military conquest, con-quest, she intends 'to do her part. And she cannot Understand Under-stand western criticism of her intentions and her methods. We suspect that Japan thinks us just a bit hypocritical. Perhaps she is right. Perhaps we should take stock of ..our own lapses in the direction of imperialism before we attempt to reform the world. Headline asks: "Will Europe Go To War?" There's something uncanny about that headline writer's insight into things. SIDE GLANCES ... tl -f ' - V - aw-wn WWIWVICf INC ft.tW ' This is about Ihe only chance I. get to see my husband.

By George Clark OUT OUR' -WAY-' ' ' : I Was Thinking By ELSIE a GABBOLX. I was thinking that It's thrilling to watch the world wake up From its dark still sleep of night As you stand remote from all save God On a solemn mountain height. . I had got up at three o'clock with some of the girls of the B. Y. U. Alpine summer school dormitory dor-mitory to watch falling meteors, rhat was an unusual experience. Enjoy Star-GaZlng We stood star-gazing for about an hour, eagerly scanning the deep blue of the sky for the next spectacular phenomenon, first one then another calling excitedly, "There's one! Did you see that? O, look at that one's tail!" I was interested in listening to the students, who were members of an astronomy class talk of the different planets," of some of the theories of astronomy, and of the effect the course is having upon them chiefly making them teel infinitesimal, and giving them a sense of awe over the wonders of nature. Beautiful Myths I thought of some of the" beautiful beauti-ful old myths about stars and constellations con-stellations That of Orion, for instance. in-stance. That magnificent cluster was supposed by the Greeks to have been originally the body of the great giant, a son of Neptune the sea god. He was a handsome man and an expert hunter. He was also proud ot his personal appearance and skill. He was a great favorite ot Diana the goddess of the chase and the moon and he loved her. Apollo was jealous and often complained com-plained of his sister Diana's attentions at-tentions to Orion, but to no avail, fieiades Are Frightened Once he showed her a black spot in the waters and challenged ner to hit it with her arrow. She did so and discovered, too late, that she had killed Orion. But she placed him among the stars, where bis dog Sirius tbllows him still, where the Hare flies "before him and where the Pleiades are frightened fright-ened at his com,ing. The Pleiades are the seven daughters of Atlas who had been pursued by Orion until in desperation they had called on Jupiter for help and he had changed them first to doves, then into those stars we still call the seven sisters. Early Morning Hike-That Hike-That hour spent in watching the meteors was less exciting than those that immediately followed. I went down near the Timpanogos theater and watched the stars slowly dim and disappear, and the first grey of dawn melt iijto the midnight blue. Then I took one of the most interesting in-teresting hikes I have ever taken. it was over the splendid new trail made recently by the forest service, serv-ice, from the Timpanogos theater to Stewart Falls, an easy walk of two miles, that affords magnificent magnifi-cent views of the mountains, the winding stream and the forest. Taken in the stillness of dawn, it gives one a sort of spiritual experience ex-perience that is unforgettable, rhe first faint twitter of a waking oird, the subdued murmur of the water, the soft rustle of the leaves all the sounds of nature brought emotional responses different from those of later hours of the day when the world has fully awakened. awak-ened. lxgend of Aspens As I listened to the restless flut ter of the aspen leaves, I recalled the old legend that it was from an aspen tree that the cross was made upon which Our Savior was hanged, and that, never since that fateful event have the leaves of the aspen been able to rest; they were doomed to quake and quiver to the end of time. I could almost imagine them to be whispering aJoout tbr cross, the burial snroud, the crucified Redeemer. - v , The first promise of jhe sun appeared like a halo of rose and gold over the head of the eastern AVIM'S ANO AEE 601N?

Mellon. He said the treasury had data showing that Mellon transferred properties worth at least $68,-135,584 $68,-135,584 to his two children, Paul and Ailsa, in 1929 and 1931. Under present laws, the United Press informant said, if such a contention is upheld, all properties proper-ties proven to be transferred under un-der such conditions would be subjected sub-jected to estate tax rates prevalent preval-ent at the time of the donor's death.

CHAPTER XI fjpHE Pinal county sherifif immediately imme-diately called Carolee on the telephone at Apache Junction filling fill-ing station and got detailed information. in-formation. It irked him some to have another case come up in Superstition. That made three people lost up there this year, he growled to his office deputy, but the others had gotten out safely enough. "Seems like this might be a tough one," he remarked. "She talked right sensible. Ill go. I better git a dog, too, and pick up a couple of boys from the Circle Z." He borrowed the dog, a mournful mourn-ful hound, from the state penitentiary peniten-tiary which was located conveniently conve-niently in the Pinal county seat, Florence. The hound was trained at trailing men. then the sheriff conscripted horses and equipment and two cowboys from -the Circle Z Raach, finally adding one more man, a prospector and - veteran outdoorsman, as a sort of extra guide; All these' men were skilled at trailing, rich in their knowledge of mountain lore. The men and the horses all rode in a truck to Superstition- Lodge which was the end of the' motor road.
