CONTROL OF WATERPOWER.

OLYMPIA, Nov. 16.-The State Of
Washington controls all its water re-
sources, Notwithstanding the provis-
ions of the Federal water power act
according to State Hydraulic Engin-
Ger Marvin Chase.
"The Federal water power act does
rot in any way limit the right of the
state to supervise and regulate rs
water resources" said Mr.. Chase
"An impression exists, however, that
the Federal Power Commission has
exclusive jurisdiction in matters Of
power development.
"Ihe filing of an application with
the Federal Power Commission for a
license to develop water power in this
state does not obviate the necessity of
making an application to the state
hydraulic engineer"
The intent of the power act, ac-
cording to Mr.. Chase, who has discus

sed its provisions with the attorney
generals office, is to leave supervis-
Tor and control of water resources to
the respective states.
The Federal act provides that it
shall not "in any way interfere with
the laws of the respective states re-
lating to the control, appropriation.
use or distribution of water used ir
irrigation or for municipal or other
uses, or any vested rights therein"
Another section provides for "sati.-
factory evidence that the applicant
has complied with the requirements
of the laws of the state within which
the proposed project is located with
respect to appropriation, diversion
and use of water for power purposes. "

players turned up after the hard clash
with Westminster in poor physical con-

not want tn have them tired for the
game with the Beaver lads. He figures n
rest will do them more good than work.
There will BE- a lot Of signal work, and

course. owing to her great showing this
year. will be the favoritc in the coming

hope The case against Westminster
locked hopeless but Allegheny spirit as
serted itself with the result that the
United Prrsbyterians were held to
scNrclcSS tie.
Several mere shifts may be made by
tho coach this week. although he does
not care to divulge the nature Of them.
1t is the feeling here that Allegheny will
have To have some new stuff for the
Beaver team as the Allegheny style OF
play has been thoroughly secuted by tho
COvCnanters.
There is much interest here in the
game and n great crowd will see tho
