The odorous wheeze was like a tonic to him. So before a race at Cranwood Track, near here, Mike gave his horse, Burrowlite, a mouthful of his favorite sandwich, hoping it would add speed to his nag. As the horses lined up for the first heat, the other animals, whifling Burrowlite's breath, anted and otherwise signified they longed for the great open space, where the grass is green and limburger is unknown. Burrowlite himself seemed uneasy and anxious to run. Burrowlite was flashing along in second place looking like he was going to come on to win.

All races of the holiday spirit disappeared and the stock market was again the scene of a raging, plunging buying movement in which prices rushed up to new high levels for the year and in some cases the highest prices in a decade. The copperers and steel stocks were the leaders in the early advance in prices but trading had not proceeded very far before the equipment, motor, specially stocks and high priced industrial leaders joined the movement and under the impetus of an extraordinary buying movement, were swept on to higher price levels. The copper stocks had apparently not fully discounted the effect of the Anaconda unexpected dividend resumption and the gradual advance in the price of copper stocks, including Marma Anaconda, Kennecott, American Smelters and Cerro de Pasco and Chile was also featured by the rise of most of these stocks to new high prices for the year. With U. S. Steel above 120 for the first time since 1917 and larger operations reported for all of the large steel manufacturing mills, it was natural that speculative interest should be attracted to the independent steel stocks. Bethlehem sold above 50 for the first time in the current movement. Republic was up two points to above 60, Gulf States, Colorado Fuel and Vanadium were about a point higher. High priced market leaders like Castiron Pipe, Pullman, Worthington Pump, Texas Gulf Sulphur and American Can continued the forward movement which started early in Friday's session.

Strong opposition to the Boulder canyon dam was expressed in a telegram sent last night to the Arizona delegation in congress by nineteen prominent citizens of Arizona, following a conference with Goy. Hunt reading in part: "We called upon the governor to assure him that in order to protect our rights in the Colorado river, we favored asserting every legal right Arizona possesses as a sovereign state, that it is our desire to maintain friendly relations with sister states in the Colorado river basin but that we do not intend to be intimidated, brow beat or coerce into any position which will jeopardize the interests of the state. With flood control as a pretext California is trying to force thru the Swing-Johnson bill which will give California water and power but which will make the trivialization of millions of acres in Arizona impossible. Building of Boulder canyon dam will flood the river in places where dams should properly be built if Arizona is to have any large agricultural development. With dams properly located it will be possible to have flood control, full power development and also irrigate several million acres of land in Arizona." The telegram adds Arizona is putting a survey party in the field this week to obtain definite information on disputed engineering problems at Spencer canyon and other sites.
