there is little likelihood of the ques.

West.
STATES RIGHTS ARE URGED
Not Intention However to Create
Political or Sectional
Movement.

Seattle, Aug 1.-THE conference
of western governors called by Gov
ernor Hay of Washington to meet at
Salt Lake has been set for August
l6. The governors of Montana. Wy
oming, Utah and Oregon will either
attend in person or send a represen-
tatiye. In response to an inquiry
concerning the purpose of calling the
meeting, Governor Hay says: Il want
to make it plain that there is no in
tention of creating either a political
or a sectional controversy in calling
the western governors together to
take up the questiop~6f conservation
from the western standpoint We
want conservation that will not ham
per authority and retard development
Those states like Washington, in
which big land Withdrawals have been
made, more fully recognize and pro-
test against the infringement of
states sovereignty. | hope that as
a result of the meeting the west will
be able to command fairer consdera-
ton from the balance of the nation
for conservation"

MOST IMPORTANT DECISION
BY SECRETARY OF INTERIOR.

New Appropriation North of
Elephant Butte Dam.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE secre-
tary Of the interior has affirmed the
decision of the general land Office
rejecting the joint application of F.
W. Bosco and Cyrus Miller for right
of-way for the Wagon Wheel Gap re-
ceiyer over certain lands in Mineral
county, Colorado.
The decision appealed from is bas-
ed wholly upon a report of the director
of the reclamation service, dated
October 10, 1909, which states that
the approval of this application would
constitute serious interference with
the Rio Grande project now under
consideration. The merits of the
case were not discussed by the land
office, In rendering it's opinion the
interior department says:
THE applicants were accorded,
and had an oral hearing, and the case
was most elaborately argued and has
been most carefully considered more
especially as it involves some import
ant and far-reaching questions.
3As preliminary to a consideration
of these questions, it should be stated
that the application of Bosco and Mil
Ter is predicated upon alleged prior
appropriation of waters of the upper
| Rio Grande, in the state of Colorado,
sufficient to supply the proposed res
ervoir, which will hold, when COM
pleted, according to the survey
thereof, $4,000 acre feet of water,
and this survey covers certain public
lands Of the United States upon which
the applicants must secure a right.

condemn the proposition to remove
