ranged an automobile excursion to
Redlands, San Bernardino and other
points of interest for the delegates
and prominent guests on Sunday.
There will be room in the auditori-
UNI for number of guests, but these
must secure tickets from Secretary
Arnold kruckman at Riverside in ad-
vance.
The sessions will be well filled by
the addresses and discussions, and it
is hoped that, as result, the way may
be cleared for the government to take
intelligent action on the development
of the Colorado river, with a view to
giving proper confederation to all in
terests seeking opportunity to parti-
cipate in the benefits of the proposed
enterprises.
These projects include the big
Boulder Canyon dam, which Los An
geles and allied municipalities in the
Southwest, with government cooper
alton, are planning to build, and
which will not only forever project
the lowlands down the Colorado from
overflow, but also make possible the
irrigation of 100000 acres in addi-
ton to present development there. In
addition there will be generation OF
hydro-electric power amounting to
zoe. 900 horsepower.
