ALLIES With THE

CLEVELAND, Nov. 15.-Circulars
announcing the alliance of the
Switchmens Union of North Amer
lea which is affiliate with the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, with the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen were sent out today
by Warren S. Stone, president of the
engineers, to members of his organ
ization.
Announcement of the circular sent
out by II c. Cashen, head of the
Switchmen's Union were enclosed,
and referred to membership cam
paign of the Switchmen's Union to
it a 100 per cent organization.
The circular of Mr.. Stone said:
Enclosed find copies of circulars
sent out by President T. G. Cashen,
of the Switchmen's Union of North
America. The circulars are self ex-
planatory and I will appreciate it if
your division will see to it that each
copy of the circular is given to some
individual switchmen on your div
ision telling to pass the circular on
to some other switchman after he
has read it.
"Our relations with Mr.. Cashen
have been very satisfactory and it
was in company with him that the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen and the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers completed
their schedule negotiations on the
New York Central railroad and it's

CASHING IN

There may be lot the matter
with "our town" and all that sort
of thing, but there is nothing wrong
with its streets. Now that winter
seems to have made up it's belated
mind to set in, the people of Prescott
will begin cashing in on the improv-
ed streets. .@
1t is to be hoped, too. that there
will he no delay in extending the
paving to the gates of Fort Whipple.
Whenever two communities with as
much traffic as the town and post
are connected only by dirt road, it
means that somebody has not been
taking advantage of the Opportuni-
ties. But the work has been ordered
on behalf of both the city and coun-
ty, and the next few weeks ought to
see an adequate roadway paved be-
tween the home of the 1900 or more
residents of the post and the seven
or eight thousand residing in town.
There are some rumors of other
paving projects inside the city limits
and we hope they will be true rum
ors. For instance. some are urging
the paving of West Gurley and Grove
street to the city limits This would
help out the traffice from that i'm
portant district of Pine Crest and
suburb Of Miller Valley.-Courier.

THE OLD FOUNDER

In little eastern village,
On dread October night,
A livery stable keeper met a maid
Whose troth he'd plight;
Now, he was tall and handsome,
In my thinking way,
And she-Oh my! was quite a queen,
She was so slim, yet gay.
The livery stable keeper.
As he asked her for her hand
Attempted to embrace her
But for this she would not stand d;
Oh, why upon this manly breast
Will you not lay your head?
She looked into his placid face,
And this is what she said:
MY love works in greenhouse,
And there always is a smell
Of violets and geraniums
Upon his coat lapel"
Now mind, l do not blame you,
Nor do l make complaint;
But a greenhouse has fragrance
That a livery stable aint Ike

HOOVER CONFIDENT
COMMISSION WILL
REACH AGREEMENT

SANTA FEE. N. M. Nov 15.-Todays
session of the Colorado river COM
mission meeting at Bishops Lodge,
near here, was devoted to a discus
sion of technical questions, includ-
ing acreage and the estimated flow
OF the river, and when the commits
Ision finished it's work last night,
Herbert Hoover, it's chairman, an
nounced progress had been made.
Thee commission is meeting in ex-
ecutive sessions. De tails of discus
sions were not made public.
The commission held two meet
ings today, morning and afternoon
session. Members are devOting them
selves entirely to the task of form
ulating pact and have declined
many invitations to banquets and
other entertainments. Sessions are
twice day and are devoted exclus-
lively to discussions relative to the
pact.
The commission is probably one of
the halbest working bodies of it's
kind that has convened in recent
yeaIs. Each member fully appre-
ciates the big task before the COM
mission and is bending every effort
TO reach an agreement.
Chairman Hoover tonight pointed
out that the position of the Imperial
Valley of California made it imper-
ative that pact be reached at the
earliest possible moment to guaran-
tee flood protection to that district.
"The people of the Imperial Valley
must have quick help to protect them
from serious flood conditions" de-
clared Mr.. Hoover.
Mr.. Hoover said he was confident
that the commission would be able
to formulate satisfactory agree
ment The entire commissioners
were well satisfied with the progress
already made. No statements were
available as to how long the sessions
would extend.
If the commission reaches an
agreement and compact is made,
IA new page in the history of irriga-
tion in the United States will be
written. The proposed document is
in every degree analogous to treaty
between nations, members have
pointed out After it has been writ
ten. the compact will be signed by
Herbert Hoover, chairman of the
commission as representative OF the
President of the United States and
by each of the seven state commls-
sioners on behalf of the seve' states
within the rivers basin-Colorado
Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona. Ne
vada, Utah and California.
The treaty making powers of the
states have frequently been avalled
of in matters respecting interstate
boundaries, fisheries and other like
subjects, but this is the first instance
in American history where severadl
states are attempting to make an ed
uitable apportionment OF the bene-
fits to be derived from the uses of
the waters of the interstate stream
prior to the development of conflict
respecting established uses, 3hf be-
fore the construction of large enter
prise which might give rise to in
terstate conflict.
The Colorado river is the third
largest river in America. 1t also is
one of the youngest rivers in the
United States. It's average dis
charge annually for the last 20 years
has been about 17,400,000 acre feet.
That is enough water to cover H.
100000 acres one foot deep. or this
discharge about 100000 acre feet
lgo to waste.
