national committee decided to seat
both the Louisiana delegations, giving
each man a half vote. The vote to
name a committee of three to reor-

trouble. Yarmouth will not accept

take the seats under a compromise.
He will carry the matter to the Gre
there to the floor of the convention.
Yarmouth insists compromise
means anarchy in the party. Louisi-
ana Republicans won't accept the re-
suit.
The compromise brought the first
vote in the national committee. A
motion to seat the Yarmouth delega-
ton was voted down, 80 to 20, be-
fore a compromise was unanimously
adopted. Even Hitchcock was unabl,
to placate Yarmouth. The commit
tee adopted a resolution, requiring
the incoming committee to appoint
Pearl Wright. of Louisiana, national
committeeman. Mississippi contests
were then considered.

sissippi were seated.

THE HIGH LINE CANAL

Frank H. Newell, director of the
Reclamation Service, passed through
the city last night. He was with E.

time last evening. Mr.. Sands in
formed him that the Water. Users
association of this valley is getting
the subscriptions for the fund that
will assist in getting the work under
way on the High Line canal corralled
in good shape and Mr.. Sands feels
greatly encouraged over the outlook.
There is every prospect that the de-
sired fund will be raised in a short
time and the early construction work
will begin, very likely, on or soon
after the first of the coming year.
Mr.. Newell spoke very favorably
of the High Line project but said
nothing important for publication.
Mr.. Sands in discussing the matter
today states that he believes that if
the land holders in the valley are
successful in raising the amount de-
sired the government will make an
allowance even larger than an allow
ance the size of the fund raised by
the people and will start the work
about the first of the year without
