Conserve Colorado Water
For Benefit of Drainage
Basin Urged at Meeting

Farker ulStrlct or Arizona, 'but Lo
Angeles needs more, for the Imperia
valley is its bread basket and alway:
will be. Therefore l ask, we all ask
where is the reason in diverting water
from region of year-round crops tt
the one-crop area of the Atlantic
slope, as this Henrylyn and Other
projects contemplate
Though Hill was several times
pressed for an opinion on the lega
status of the matter from the inter.
ior departments viewpoint he diplo
matically replied that he is merely ar
instrument of that department. Pri
vately he stated that the govern.
ment's location of reservoirs on the
Green and Grand rivers, both OF
which are tributaries of the Colorado
might be urged as recognition by the
interior department of the interstate
and international status of tho
stream.
Though the fight for water of the
river has already taken on large pro
portions, the points at issue at present
are relatively simple. The Henrylyn
irrigation district, Farmers Reservoir
and Irrigation company, and G. J
Bancroft and W. E. Goldsborough
have made applications to the secre-
tary of the interior for rights of way
over government land for the purpose
of diverting water from the Grand
river, one of the sources of the Colo
rado, by tunnels and otherwise, from
its natural course to the Pacific ocean
to the Mississippi river slope.
In an opinion rendered by LuciuS
X. Chase, which will be transmitted
to Lane, it is urged that only an act
Of congress can sanction the diver
sion of water from a navigable
stream. This opinion is to be supple
mented by another which H. W.
O'Melveney is preparing. Together
they will form the groundwork for
the legal protest
The larger protest in the interest
of public welfare and well-being is
embodied in two protests already sent
to Lane and in exhibits turned over to
Hill yesterday. The brief submitted
by Lippincott forms the foundation
for the demand for an immense cor
servation project which. will include
the Colorado from its source to its
mouth.
THE complete development of the
Colorado river will permit of the re-
clamation of an area as great as the
total area now being irrigated by
projects of the federal government.
The following approximate areas be-
low the Grand canyon have now been
put under irrigation canals:

Two conclusions, consequently, can

cally as great as the minimum flo"

sion made in this basin, without stor-

was merely a figurehead or er- rand boy for the great house of Morgan that absolutely domln- ated the situation. Many of the ordered by Morgan were opposed by Mellen, who had not the power to prevent a con- summation of the deal. Morgan's dream of monopoly in New York was fully realized but at an enor- nous and crushing expense. And it was shattered to pieces as soon as the great financier passed away. Without Morgan to hold him in position Mellen was soon
 busted, because he was blamed for the sins committed by Mor-
 gan. and it was necessary to get
 rid of him. Bankers have never
