LOW RATES FOR
 TRAVELLERS EAST
Both Southern Lines Make One Fare
 for Round Trip

The Southern Pacific has announced that it not only would meet the recent action of the Santa Fe in declaring q rate of one fare for the round trip to Chicago and Kansas City but would extend the privilege to various other cities. The Southern Pacific now offers round trip tickets on certain dates in May, June and July at $6O to Missouri river points; $67.50 to St. Louis, Mem. phis and New Orleans, $70 to St. Paul and Minneapolis and $72.50 to Chicago
 Tickets at these rates will be good for return within sixty days from date of sale, and probably will have stop over privileges in each direction, al though this matter has not yet been determined.
 The Santa Fe started the fight several weeks ago, when it announced that it would sell round trip tickets to Chicago and Kansas City at one fare on certain dates, in addition to the one-fare rate that had been agreed upon by trans continental passenger association lines for conven tions in the east. This action was taken in the regular manner provided for members of the association but apparently was unexpected at the time by other lines.
 It was stated at that time by the Santa Fe that it wished to extend the low rate privilege to patrons who might desire to go east but who would not attend the conventions at remote points Tribune.

NATIONAL CONTROL OF
 THE COLORADO RIVER
Continued from Page l

a point about twelve miles northeast from Yuma, Arizona, and the reclama- tion of about one hundred thousand acres of land in Arizona and California. Congress had passed a law authorizing the construction of the dam across the river and the diversion of it's waters by the Reclamation Service at this point. Just at this juncture a formal protest to the construction of the dam was filed bv the Mexican government on the ground that such action by the United States would destroy the navigability of the stream and be in abrogation of the treaty between the two nations concern inp this stream. This action by the Mexican government has led to the appointment by President Roosevelt of three members to represent our gov ernment in a joint high commission for the negotiation of new treaty wlht Mexico in which the distribution, superyision, control and use of the waters of the Colorado river shall be fully provided for. The members nam ed by President Roosevelt are F. Il. Newell. the chief of the Reclamation Service, Judge Bird, assistant attorney general for the Interior Department ond Hon. j. M. Penfeld assistant attor' nev general for the Department of State. The Mexican members of this com mission have already been appointed and A number of meetings of the full commission have already been held, and it is believed that by the time Coneress meets again next December the treaty will be prepared, and all uncertainties regarding the right to the use of the waters of the Colorado river for the irrigation of the lands along it's course will be forever settled.
 In the meantime, let us hope that the prafters that are attempting to hold up the Reclamation Service in Colorado with A railroad scheme, will be disposed of and all obstacles removed from the successful carrying out of the plan to construct an lIlllleHso III iPouhu'iS u"hh et that point. With the settlement of that matter and the closing up ot a treaty with Mexico on the subject, Congress will be enabled to legislate on the problem, and with those obstacles out of the way, the Reclamation Service can proceed with free hand to carry out it's great plans for the complete standardization of the Colorado river and the irrigation and reclamation of every available acre of good land along its entire course. These works con- template the greatest irrigation develop ment in the worlds history. We cannot realize what the full fruition of these plans will mean to this State, to the West, to the Nation, to the world.
 Imperial Valley is great as it is, com pared with any past irrigation develop ment, but Imperial Valley at present is only prophecy of what it will be in the future. The irrigation works in this Valley have cost, probably, mil lion dallars, and will irrigate perhaps 200 ,OOO acres. Those planned by the Reclamation Service for the Colorado river will cost perhaps $4O,0OO,000 and will irrigate from four million to five
 ,A lao.
