"""A year before the dedication of Boulder Dam, Arizona governor Benjamin Mouer had declared martial law on the Arizona shore of the Colorado, deploying forty infantrymen and twenty machine gunners to Parker, Arizona, and dispatching the “Arizona Navy”—five state guardsmen aboard the ferryboat Julia B—to prevent federal workers from completing preliminary work on Parker Dam, which, downstream from Boulder, would divert the now controlled waters of the Colorado to Southern California. To Mouer, the planned aqueduct was little better than theft of Arizona’s rightful resources. “We may get licked in this affair,” Mouer proclaimed, “but we will go down fighting.” the Los Angeles Times dispatched a “war correspondent,” who archly reported on the mobilization of “troops into this theater of war to protect the State of Arizona from invasion by all or part of the State of California.”"""
