Miss Nina Y. Carter, In charge OF the
womans department of Chicago
bank.
"This is caused by the fact that
there nre more women who have had
occasion to handle money since the
war; that there are more women who
have gone into business, and that more
have been thrown on their own re-
sources" she said.
Five years ago the number OF wom-
an depositors at her bank, according
to Miss Carter, totaled 215 with $780,
600 in savings. Today there are LOO
with total deposit of S1,OOO.OOO.
Springfield, H., banks books show
three out of every four new depositors
are women.
One st. Louis bank reported Its
number of women deposltors had in
creased 33 1-3 per cent, another Z per
cent, another 20 per cent, and another
25 per cent.
"They deposit more than half of the
total savings in Denver banks, and
75 per cent in any bank line are wom-

of what the lands of the Colorado ba-
sin can do under irrigation. The to-
tai production of the valley even now
under irrigation exceeded in value $50.
100000 in 1918. The population in
1910 was, in round numbers, 1900,
and in 1919 exceeded 10000. The
value of the production in 1910 was
S5.0O0.00O, and in 1919, exceeded $780,
100000. These results tell their own
story and magnify the dreams of those
who 1S years ago conceived this won
derful improvement and the reclama-
ton of an arid waste which today en-
braces wonderful farms, beautiful mod
ern cities, and happy, aggressive.
progressive, energetic, prosperous peo-
pie who enjoy a production of farm
products not only unsurpassed but un-
equaled anywhere.
The cost of the project is not pro-
hibitive, it is stated. Its threefold
benefits of added acres in cultivation,
electric energy and freedom from flood
menace are worth many times more
than the cost, the experts estimate.
There are several hundred thousand
acres of government land which could
be used for soldier settlement.
AT present the water for irrigation
flows through Mexican soil-a condi-
ton of constant danger in view of the
strained relations.

THE formation of plan for the
i development of the entire basin
of the Colorado river at cost of more
than $1OO,OO0,OOO was the principal
business of the recent annual conven-
ton of the League of the Southwest,
held at Los Angeles. The governors
of eight southwestern states-Cali-
fornia, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada,
Utah, Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas
participated, together with the heads
of city and county governments In
these states and representatives of
civic, patriotic, educational, Industrial
and commercial organizations.
There is bill (H. R. 12537) pending
in congress which provides for an ex-
animation and report on the condition
and possible irrigation of the 1mpe-
rial valley in California.

Senate Favors Greater Crater Lake Park

REATER Crater Lake National
u park is likely soon to be reali-
ty. The bill (S.2797) has been passed
by the senate. 1t is now before the
public lands committee of the house.
If there is opposition to the measure,
1t has given no sign. Crater Lake
National park now contains 249 square
miles in the shape of rectangle,
about 1S by ID miles. The addition
contains 145 square miles, practically
all of which lies to the north.
In making the circuit of Crater
lake over the wonderful Rim Road,
completed last season, the visitor
catches many views of this Diamond
lake region to the north and sees that
nature intended 1t to be a part of
the park. The still more compre-
hensive views from Sun Notch and
Crater peak, reached only by trails,
confirm this proposition.
Diamond lake is a feature of the
addition. 1t lies at an elevation of s.
200 feet. is about 5 by miles. is
comparatively shallow, affords good
bathing and Is an ideal camping
ground. Mount Thielsen (9,17S) rises
to the east of the lake and Mount
Bailey (S,356) to the west. In the
northeast corner of the addition Is
Howlock mountain (s.35D. The seem
rry is attrar'tive and the fishing good.

Opposition to klamath Lake Reclamation

A BILL in congress introduced by
n Raker of California and aproviding
for the. drainage of the Klamath Lake
region in California and Oregon with
a view to soldier settlement has stirred
up a three-sided controversy. The ag-
ricultural department experts say
these lake bottoms and marshes would
become simply alkali flats. unfit for
cultivation. The former klamath was
cut Off from its water supply and
largely dried up last summer. The
agricultural department soil experts
say the dried-out land Is too alkali
for farming purposes. The govern
ment reclamation service undertook to
drain a large area here several years
ago and abandoned the project as i'm
practicable after an expenditure of
S2S3, ,225. The United States biologi-
cal survey says that forage for live
stock in the marshy lands is all that
the region will yield.
In the current number of the nat
son, chief of the biological survey,
presents arguments for the preserva-
ton of the region as one of the most
notable migratory bird preserves in
the United States.
Containing a great area of swampy
land with a shallow-water lake in the
middle, the Klamath Lake reservation
forms an ideal home for myriads OF
migratory wild fowl, such as ducks,
The Colorado statesman., 1920-05-08

geese, grebes and pelicans, during the
nesting season and the spring and fall
migrationS.
DIR. Nelson charges the land pro-
moters of the vicinity of klamath
lake with endeavoring to secure the
abolition # the reservation in private
interests. and declares that such pro-
tected spots are becoming so few that
now the destruction of each one be-
comes irreparable. This is especially
true of such a large and notable area
as klamath lake.
And the whole situation appears to
him more critical in view of the fact
that Malheur lake, lying in the desert
country of southeastern Oregon and
believed to be the greatest breeding
place for wild fowl in the United
States. is also menaced with annihila-
tion at the hands of the drainage en-
thusiasts.
"Save the BIRDS" is his plea.
The Colorado statesman., 1920-05-08

The area to be added is properly part
of the park and will add greatly to
it's symmetrical development A road
connecting Diamond lake with the Rim
road around C~ater lake is natural
development. The enlargement is
needed because of the big game. which
now frequently strays beyond the
boundaries
The enlargement will also give the
park a north entrance, which Is need
ed. With the development by the
state and county authorities of the
road from a point south of Crescent
on the Central Oregon highway, east
of the Cascades, new entrance to
Crater Lake National park would be
developed. This would be very use
full to the people of Oregon, and par
ticularly to tourists coming to the
park via the Dalles and Bend.

residents are facing the most serious
flood that ever swept this region. The
river is raging and rising every hour,
and old residents fear that the stream
may change its channel, as II did two
years ago, and sweep through the Mill
dale subdivision and West Grand
Junction, which would destroy prob
ably 300 homes or more.
City officials declare that the dikes
built for former floods are not strong
enough to resist the coming flood. The
rise has been about six inches daily
and the peak is not expected before
May %.
Reports from Delta and other points
along the Gunnison are equally alarm
ing. The river already is as high as
at any time last year and is rising
hourly. The snow ON the mountain
sides is three times as deep as normal
and twice as deep as ever before
reported.
Several bridges already have been
torn out along the north fork of the
Gunnison. Two miles north of HGtch-
kiss the stream is spreading into the
farms, orchards and roadways. AT
Delta, where the Uncompahgre and
GunnsOn rivers join, the flood in 1854

damaging much properly.
A similar flood would inundate thou
sands of acres of valuable farm land
and destroy dwellings and crops. The
residents are preparing to work on
dikes and to load the bridges with
rock.
The RIO Grande tracks between this
city and Debeque probably will not
stand greater flood than was eNpe-
rienced Two years ago. In case That
track goes out, the Western Slope
may be isolated from the outside, as
the tracks between here and Salt Lake
already are being damaged.

Pioneers of the district say the con-

more damaging than the record flood
of 1884, when both the Gunnison and
