They walked out of the town into

She carried herself buoyantly, chin
up, her face a flushed anne of
loneliness. AS she took the uphill
trail a small breath of wind wrapped
the white skirt about her slender
limbs. He found in her a new note,
one of unaccustomed shyness.
The silence grew at last too sig
nifcant. She was driven to break 1t.

The man who had spoken rose

His eyes, hard and narrow. watched

Seven STATES in Agreement

At a conference recently held at Santa
"A Fc. y. NJ. by official representatives
Of the seven States of Colorado Utah. Wy
oming New Mexico. Arizona, Nevada and
California; q compact was signed which
opens the way for agricultural and indus
trial development in that section OF the
Union that may easily become OF surpass-
ing Importance. The conference sessions
were presided over by Secretary Of Com
mcrce Hoover and his influence i'll brngin:;
10 successful elimination the agreement
entered into was not iuconsidcrablc fac

The problem of turning the unused
waters OF the Colorado River to agricul-
tural and industrial uses has been one OF
increasing concern to the States directly
Interested in their potential value. Need

portancc there have been serious differ

possibilities threatening long delay. If not

waters TO their full value. The confer
cnce was held for the purpose OF adjusting
these differences, and its entire success is
an achievement worthy OF public cougratu-
lation.
The reaching OF such an agreement by
the conference method for the promotion
Of so great an enterprise is more than or
dinary significant because it marked
departure. Heretofore. differences between
States touching riparian rights and other
Questions have found their way into the
Federal courts for adjudication. At Santa
Fe. for the first time, men delegated to
represent their States met in conference
and after thrcc-day discussion agreed
upon Il settlement satisfactory to all OF
them. This line OF action. therefore. be-
comes AN impressive example for future
conferences on controversies between. or
among. States, which. ii followed, would
not only tend greatly to improve the conf
- between sister States, but would relieve
them of considerable burden OF expense
in needless Federal litigation.

separated from the southern basin by 1000
miles Of canyon. that the agricultural and
economic life OF the two basins are wholly
different and that the logical thing has
been done in dividing the waters between
them. so that they can make homes instead
OF defending injunctiOns." The basis OF
the work is the promotion OF agriculture,
