Report comes from Trona that L.H.Johnson, who is said to have furnished the money to build Scotty's castle near the north end of Death Valley has arranged with the United States Government to use the summit of Telescope peak in the Pana-mint mountains for an observatory.

The board of water commissioners of the city and county of Denver has asked permission of the supreme court to file a brief opposing the request of Arizona for leave to take testimony to be available should it decide to bring suits to test the Colorado river compact and the Arizona canyon project acts. In anticipation that it might be deprived under the acts of water to which It may consider itself entitled, Arizona has asked the high court to permit it to take testimony concerning agreements it claims led up to the compact.

Denver city and county declared it was as much interested in opposing the taking of the testimony as California or any of the municipalities in that state which are to receive water under the compact from the Colorado river. The city and county asserted the meaning of acts of Congress on the strength of which it and the California cities have spent and are spending millions of dollars should not be made to depend on private statements made by negotiators during the framing of the compact, and for that reason opposed Arizona's request.

XX DEMONSTRATE BETTER PUBLIC Hi POB Permanent Improvement Seen By M.O.D. Sales Chief; First Valencia Output Near With the Redlands district's first Valencia orange shipments of th new season poised for early shipment, market reports from the East indicated yesterday that the fruit will receive satisfactory welcome. "Signs are the most encouraging in three years," said J. A. Steward, salei manager of Mutual Orange Distributors.

"Recent gains in th orange market must be attributed to increased purchasing power of the consuming public and nothing else. The publio is consuming more oranges than a year ago and li paying more for them. 8UPPLY GREATER "California ehlpments have not been heavier this season but the total supply of oranges has been 1,500 cars heavier during the last three weeks than during the corre sponding period last season. Despite this, we are receiving an aver age of 50 cents a box more for oranges. Taking all these factors into consideration, we must realize that better buying power Is hare at last and this is a definite sign of permanent improvement of conditions."
