for the cohesive development of the

permitting single projects to be under
taken in relatively small sections was
given today at the opening session of
the League of the Southwest conven-
ton that met to consider irrigation
and power problems of the west.
Delegates familiar with the tuation
said that IL the first report correctly
outlined the position of the govern
ment, the present plan for develop
ment Of the Boulder canyon dam in
Nevada would probably have to await
the adoption of a general scheme of
development and the controversy over
whether that work should be done by
the federal government. the city of
Los Angeles. or the southern Cali
fornia Edison company. would be
moved into the background to await
the settlement of the whole develop
ment question on the Colorado.

its audiences on the edge, of their

moreover, actually one of the funniest

such report was completed. he said,
it should be approved by the states
and municipalities interested.
Mr.. Larue pointed out that the Lee
ferry project on the Arizona-utah
border was probably the most import
ant for immediate development. The
Colorado river, he said, annually dis
charged into the Gulf of Mexico more
than 100000 acre feet of water.
which not only wastes water seriously
needed at certain seasons but also
imperils existing improvements in the
flood districts. The correction Of this
condition, he said. should be an element
of the comprehensive plans that
would cover the basin from Wyoming
to the Gulf of California.
The Lee ferry project, he said, would
call for the construction of a dam 700
feet high which would create a reser-
voir about 21O miles along the Colo
RADIO and about 90 miles along the San
Juan river 1t would impound 5oo.ooo.-
900 acre feet of water for irrigation
and create about one million horse

1t is very likely that in deliver

in mind the story in the Greek my

ed, principally for the reason that
parents OF pupils, had made com-'
plant to the boards OF education re
gardlng what they deemed the i'm.
modest dress and demeanor. of GER
tain teachers.
II was to guard the prospective
pedagogues against the danger Of
such a calamity happening to them
that the superintendent gave his lit.
