Los Angeles Taking Steps
To Protect River Flow

There is not enough water in the
river at its low stage to meet the
demands of the lands bordering it,
when the latter is all in cultivation.
There is a project on foot for taking
water from the river to irrigate the
100000 acres in the Parker valley,
now devoted to an Indian reservation
that is expected to be thrown open -
settlers soon.
Another big irrigation project
planned to provide water for thous-
ands of additional acres of land in
the Imperial valley is to take water,
we understand, from the Colorado riv-
er.
'Los Angeles is vitally interested
in these projects from a commercial
standpoint, though our organization
will take no part in local water dis
putes. The soil of the lower Colo
RADIO river is not only unusually rich,
but it produces by reason of this eli
mate, two crops each year, where the
northern lands produce but one, and
as the season is earlier here, the first
crop here brings higher prices than
do the late crops Of the north.

and international questions of a COM
plex nature are expected to develop
from the appeal that the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce, through the
Arizona and California River Regula-
ton Commission, is preparing to make
to the Secretary of the Interior for
the protection of the waters of the
Colorado river. A conference on the
subject between the commission and
Secretary of Interior Lane was sched-
| uled for last Wednesday, but was
postponed indefinitely as a result of
the sudden illness of Mr. Lane in Oak
land.
From a legal as well as an ethical
point, the River Regulation Commits
sion is intending to attack the rights
claimed by the State of Colorado To
divert the water of the river without
regard to the rights of the water
users of other states. At the same
time the commission will ask the
United States to consider the rights
Mexico will have to certain amount
of the water of the Colorado river, be-
fore permitting any of the water to be
diverted to the Mississippi slope If

While the governor has not at
tempted to regulate the use of the wa
ter of the Colorado river, any further
than to protect national irrigation
projects, all proposed irrigation sys-
TENS must get the rights of way from
the Government before building ditch
es and tunnels
Several big irrigation projects that
contemplate diverting much of the
head waters of the Colorado river by
means of tunnels toward the MissiS-
sippi slope have made applications for
rights Of way, but the Government
has granted none of these.
Included in these big projects are
the following: The Hanrylyn irriga-
ton, north of Denver, which contem-
plates taking 109,O00-acre feet each
season from the Colorado river by
means of a tunnel and transporting
it to lands on the Mississippi side Of
the Rocky Mountains; the Farmers
the Fraser Sources Irrigation and
Power company and an irrigation pro
ject being promoted by G. j. Bancroft
and W. E. Goldsmith.
H. z. Osborne, vice president of the
Arizona and California River Regula-
tion Commission, declares that the
conservation and protection of the
water of the Colorado river is one of
the most important problems with
which the Los Angeles Chamber of
Commerce is concerned, as the loss of
the water will deprive the city of
much of its prospective commerce
with rich country awaiting develop
ment.
"The State of Colorado claims the
right to use the water of the Colo
rado river as it pleases within the
boundaries of that state" said NJ
Osborne, 'and we will question this
right on the grounds that the Colorado
river is an interstate river, and peo-
pie in other states who depend upon
it for irrigation have rights.
eve will point out to Secretary
Lane, or any man that might take his
place as a result of his illness, that If
the Government permits the diversion
of water from the Colorado river, it
will not be keeping faith with the
people who have been granted desert
land titles with the understanding
that their water supply is to come
from the Colorado river

Norman b. Mack Charged
With Lack of Accounting

ALBANY, N, Y. Sept, 16-The row
broke out in new place today. Nor
man E. Mack, former chairman of the
national and state committee, is ac-
cused by John E. Hennessy, Governor
Sulzer's special Investigator, of col
lecting between $15O,O0O and S5OO,OO0
that was not accounted for in official
reports of campaign contributions for
the gubernatorial campaign of 1910.
Mr. Mock failed to appear today at
q hearing which had been set for his
examination by Mr.. Hennessy. In
stead he sent his secretary to serve
the papers in the libel proceedings
Mr.. Hennessy, in public state
ment, saps he has personal know
ledge that canal and highway con
tractors and others were "blackmail-
ed' out of large sums.
Il said," the statement proceeds
that S15O,OOO had been collected
through Mack that had never beer
reported 1t is my belief now that
the figure is nearer 100000.
'Mr. Mack, instead of appearing
for a hearing, as he had agreed, sent
his secretary to serve me in libe
suit. In the letter explaining this
suit he announces that under instruc-
tions from his counsel he will not
appear before me- In his letter alsc
