COLORADO RIVER.


A Movement tn Make Ii Useful For
Commercial Purposes.
WASHINGTON. Oct. Ex-Governor
Hughes of Arizona had an important
conference with Minister Romero OF
Mexico. touching improvements OF the
Colorado river which would add to its
Importance as channel of commerce.
The governor represented to Mr.. Ro-
nero that the Colorado is the second
largest stream on the Pacific coast and
said that with secure jetties at the
mouth and some dredging along the
course of the stream it could be made
navigable for length of 300 miles, far
up into Arizona and Nevada He stated
that the mountainous region of the
western part OF the United States,
traversed by this stream, was rich in
minerals, while the lower country
would soon become fine agricultural
and horticultural region. He stated
that Mexico along the gulf of Cali
fornia was possessed OF large forests of
fine timber and immense deposits OF
coal, in both of Which articles the
Southwestern portion of the United
States is deficient. Governor Hughes
thinks the government OF the United
States would make the improvements
necessary within its boundary if the
Mexican government would undertake
to do as much within Mexican terri-
tory. The lower 150 miles of the river
is in Mexico. Minister Romero was
very much impressed with the repre-
sentation made by the governor, and
said he would recommend that his
government give the matter attention.
He thought the best way to proceed
would be for the two governments to
join in the appointment of commits
sion to investigate the entire question.

fore going to work after dinner, about

went to the Office and notified Mr..
Aaron Bloch that he vas wanted on the
stamping floor TO inspect some work.
He went, and when at this work, his
800 employees came from the adjoining
room and surrounded him. IL is need
less to say he was greatly surprised.
II. C. Stevenson then made the speech
presenting the flag TO Bloch Bros.
He dwelt upon the kindly
feeling of the workmen toward
the management. Mr.. Bloch respond
ed; thanking the workmen for the gift
wishing them success and advancement.

Body, who said:

a man is appreciated as his daily walk
demands appreciation, and in this
manufacturing plant the workmen are
all alive to the fact that your every en-
deavor has been put forth to advance
the convenience and general welfare OF
all OF US. When a mans efforts are
thus adored 1t is but fitting and proper
at this-almost the Christmas hour-to
bestow upon him some token OF our
esteem, not so much to compensate him
for his manly dispositions and ex-
emplary actions, but to assure him that
his every action has been duly appre-
ciated. The workmen of this institu-
tion being thus enthused with your
straig htforward record, have conferred
upon me the pleasure Of presenting to
you this smoking set, and we trust
that you will accept it with the spirit
in which 1t is given"
