Gives Women Best Methods For Beauty And Economy In Hon
LEAGUE Of THE
SOUTHWEST AND
WHAT It HAS DONE

The League of the Southwest, th'
organization which brought the won
derful possibilities OF the Colorado
River Basin project to the attention
Of the nation, is the subject of the
second of a series of articles writer
by w. S. Norviel, state water com
missioner. for The Republican.
BY w. S. NorvieI, State Water
Commissioner
At San Diego, California, in 1917
at a general meeting of men inter
ested in the upbuilding of the south
west, including most of the govern
ors of the states included within the
Colorado river basin, and others, the
League of the Southwest was inau-
gurated. The discussion took up the
questions of the general develop
ment of the southwest for more ex-
tended irrigation from the Colorado
river and the possibility of the con-
struction of dam and the produc-
tion of electric power. Later in the
same year at a meeting of the gov
ernors of the southwestern states in
Salt Lake City a further discussion
of the same questions was taken up.
The development of the Colorado
river for flood control, irrigation and
power, became the most popular sub
Ject OF discussion, Governor Simon
Bamberger of Utah, Governor
Thomas e. Campbell of Arizona, and
Governor julius G. Gunter of Colo
rado, taking the lead in the general
discussion that followed, which
brought out some of the possibilities
of the latent wealth of the Colorado
river, If controlled by large dams
which should control the flood and
which would vastly increase the ir-
rigated acreage and produce a very
large amount of electric power. At
the same time it developed that there
were legal questions involved or
which might be termed jealousies on
the part OF those present as to the
rights of the citizens of the several
states to the uses OF the waters of
the Colorado river in the upper
states. This feeling of q prior right
to the use of the waters on the upper
Colorado is still prevalent among the
citizens of Utah, Wyoming, Colorado
and New Mexico that their rights
must be fully protected before any
development shall be done in the
lower river that might call for a
priority of right for any certain
quantity of water. The discussions
were instructive and the succeeding
meetings of the league which were
called at irregular intervals by the
president, grew in interest as more
definite information from engineers,
from the different departments of
the government service, and others
who had made searching investiga-
ton of the river and of the south
western states in general, were pre-
sented, and each succeeding meeting
of the league brought out greater
and more forcibly the wonderful pos
sibilities of great undeveloped
wealth in the southwestern states
with the Colorado river as the gen.
eral source of the wealth.
The league has brought together
men from almost every walk of life;
from the scientific field. from banks,
investors, engineers, builders of pow

er plants, men with enthusiasm, ex.
perienced in reclamation, all lending
| impetus to the movement. Govern
ment officials have become very muct
interested In the development of the
| Colorado river. Director Davis, head
of the reclamation service, for years
having had in mind the construction
of large storage dam, the largest in
the world. for the control of the river,
always ready to lend his counsel
gained from his wide experience and
work in reclamation, to the league,
until it now appears that the active
elements of business have been
brought out, so that it seems only a
matter of time until the accomplish
ment of the great work will soon be a
fact.
Questions arose as to the rights of
the several states interested in the
river and the possibility of legal con-
troversies over the development on
the lower river on a large scale, un-
less the rights of the upper states
should be protected. 1t was finally
decided by the league to submit the
question of the determination and adj
judication of the rights of the sew
eral states in the Colorado river
basin to the state engineers or those
having similar authority.
The last meeting of the League of
the Southwest was held at Riverside,
California, on the Sth, 9Th and 10th
Of January OF this year. 1t was at
tended by large representation
from each OF the states interested,
the delegation from ARIZONA heing
composed OF 62 men enthusiastic in
the advancement of Arizona's inter-
est in the great work and repre-
senting varied interests and with diff
ferent ideas of what ought to be done
and how, but all earnest and work.
ing hard for the general cause of
Arizona.
Then followed on the 18th of jan
uary the meeting called by the Hon.
A. B. Fall, secretary of the interior,
TO reconcile, if possible, the differ
ences between some of the claim
ants to rights in the Colorado river
and the protest raised by the people
Of Coachella Valley to the report of
Director Davis of the reclamation
service, concerning the proposed
construction of the Boulder Canyon
dam and the distribution of the pow
er to be developed there.
AT this meeting 1t was unanimous
ly agreed by all the states and the
different sections of the states in
terested that the government of the
United States should construct the
Boulder Canyon dam and own and
control the same.
The League of the Southwest has
been largely instrumental in bringing
to the attention of the whole coun-
try, particularly of the Southwest,
the great value to be derived from
the development of the Colorado RI
yer in controlling the flood, in ex-
panding the reclamation of arid lands
and power development. DR.. Won

the league and continued to be it's
president until the meeting at Los

tinued in that position since that |

BUNTS and BINGIES
By John B. Foster

Meadows of the Phillies must be
in perfect condition, for he played
and pitched the most effective game
of opening day. No wonder other
managers would like to get him.
If Sherdell with his Iefthand
twists and loops is to become a
winning pitcher for st. Louis, Rick
ey will finally be rewarded for his
patience. He has stuck to him
through thin soup and thick and
Sherdell owes him the devotion of
a child to his parent.
Mr.. Hylan, being mayor of New
York, threw out the ball and being
a resident of Brooklyn the latter
won. That makes him more solid
than ever in Bushwick, which is an
outcropping of Brooklyn.

Meusel made the first home run for

RAIN RETARDS
SPRING DRILL
OF AUGUSTANA
Suedberg Crew to Open Season in
Two Weeks Against Eureka
Team.
BY KENNETH CONREY.

The weather man seems to have
a grudge against the Augustana
baseball squad, for the little prac-
tice which Coach Swedberg can
squeeze in between showers has
done little in getting his nine into
condition. Not once has Swedberg
been able to give his men work
out on the diamond.
With the first game of the season
to be played two weeks from today
the lack of practice is getting to
be real problem. Augustana will
open the season April q against
Eureka, playing at Eureka, and the
following cay the Lutherans will go
to Peoria to buck up against the
strong Bradley nine. Coach Swed-
berg is confident that he has the
material and could develop a for
inidable aggregation if only the
weather would adjust itself and
give him a chance to put in some
real practice.
Although impossible for the coach
to select his men, a few of the 80
candidates seem to have the stuff.
I The problem of good pitching
staff is brighter than at the first
call. Erickson of Moline has a
world of smoke and can also twist
EN-. Eph has had considerable ex-
perience twirling for sand-lot teams
and he should prove valuable TO
the Augie nine. Another promising
mound artist is Beaushang. He has
been working out whenever pos
sible, and has shown up fairly we'll.
/ Roy Anderson, another candidate,
| mas had some experience on the
mound. No doubt Art will give
each of these men a chance against
Eureka.
Swedberg is well fortified with
catchers. Rog Peterson, backstop
/ for the Swedes for the past two
seasons, is making his bid for his
position. Olson of Rockford also
appears to be a real catcher, and
w. Larson can be called upon to
hold his own behind the bat.
Inhelders and outfielders are in
abundance. although just what any
of them can do of course cannot as
yet be determined. Among those
bidding for positions in the infield
are Allen, Swanson, r. Anderson,
/ Conrey, AronsOn and Samuelson.
Some of the outfielders are Rob
Anderson, Schaefer, Larson and
! Swan son.
Inability to hit was one of Au-
| gust&na's chief difficulties last sea
| son and Coach Swedberg intends to
hammer away at this end of the
game considerably. Practice will
be held every day, the weather per-
hitting, and by the end of next
week the coach will have a fairly
accurate conception of his nine for
! the coming season.

son ForSakes Gloves for

Ed W. Smith of Chicago win be
the third man in the ring when Pal
Moore and Eddie Anderson meet a
week from tonight in the Davenport
Coliseum. The legion liked Smiths
work when Dennis O'Keefe and
Morrie Schlaifer mixed recently,
and he meets with the approval of
both principals.
Believing there is such a thing
as too much boxing, Anderson put
aside the gloves today for a session
OF handball. He and Harold Plude,
his PAIRING partner, were scheduled
to team this afternoon against Ted
Davenport and Morrie briggs in A
set at the Rock Island Y. NJ. c. A.
Davenport and briggs are recog-
nized as the best doubles team in
the community, but the youngsters
promise to make them step lively
Many boxers play handball regH-
larry as a means of developing en-
duKance and speed.
Anderson is forsaking his boxing
for two days to preclude possibility
of getting an overdose. He is in
fine fettle right now and only needs
to proceed along by easy stages to
be in perfect condition for Pal
At the same time Moore is dill
gently at work in the Arcade bym-
nasium, Chicago. He is much too
old in the game of fisticuffs to take
a youngster like Eddie too lightly
Therefore he is training just as
hard for the coming setto as he
would for Johnny Buff or any Of
the other better known bantams.

While waiting for the arrival OF
recruits, the Cedar Rapids .associ-
alton has been rushing the work
of getting into first class condi-
ton. Late last summer the Bunny
field suffered greatly from the
playfulness of a windstorm. Top
of a portion of the grandstand
was ripped from its moorings and
a section of the left field fence
went down. Cedar Rapids prides
itself on having one of the finest
minor league parks in the country.
Many fans wonder why Cedar
Rapids allowed Frank Boyle to get
out of it's grasp. While Bunny
fans as a whole have a feeling of
regard for the veteran pilot, the
fact remains he failed to produce
anything resembling a winner in
two years of Three-Eeye baseball.
Therefore it was natural to feel
that a change of leaders would
benefit everyb ody concerned.
Marshalltown considered Frank
Boyle the one best bet in minor
league ranks. and that is why he
was nailed to contract before
the Mississippi Valley league be-
came a reality. Frank no doubt
is costing Marshalltown pretty
salary, as salaries are considered
in class D pastiming, but it feels
that the enthusiasm of the fan both
for the game and for the manager
will more than Offset the invest
ment.
