session to represent the interests of the
valley. They will arrive tomorrow
morning.
Delighted that the commission had
taken such an interest in Imperial Val
ley and its needs, the directors an
nounced that the proposed compact, as
reported in United Press dispatch
shown them, is as good as could have
been expected by this valley. They
expressed the belief that the several
states would ratify the compact, but
withheld n written statement until n
copy of the final compact is received.
Referring to the statement regarding
the Pescadero dam and. the danger to
the valley from this point, the directors
declared that there is no immediate
danger from this point nor is there any
situation within the past 30 days which
differs from that of many months past.

SANTA FE, y. NJ, Nov. lI--ArriVai
of governors and governors-eleet of the
seven states in the Colorado river basin
today was awaited by members, of the
Colorado River Commission, following
announcement yesterday of an agree
ment on the main principles affecting
ALLEGATION of waters of the Colorado
river.
In formal statement issued yester-
day, the commission proposed definite
allotment of the waters between the
northern and southern divisions or the
states and extended an invitation to
the executives of the states to come to
Santa Fe and give their views on the
plan.
The necessity for immediate erection
Of control works to protect the Imperial
Valley was also pointed out
Official Statement
The statement reads
nTbe Colorado River Commission,
comprising representatives of the seven
states of the section and of the federal,
government, its eighteenth meeting to-
day reached an agreement upon the
main principles of treaty to be en-
tered into by the states of the basin
vision of water and the proper devel-
opment of the river.
.s'The plan provides for n division of
the basin into two groups, embracing
the states of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming
and New Mexico in the upper division
and the state of Arizona, California,
and Nevada in the lower division. sit
was considered that inasmuch as the
character of agriculture, the method of
the use of water, the general economic
conditions surrounding power and other
users, widely different in two areas,
separated as they are by 1000 miles OF
Colorado river canyon, this division
was natural and logical one.
GA definite allotment of equal
amounts of a portion of the river flow
was agreed upon between the two divis-
ions and provision was made for the
summoning of second commission
some years hence to provide for the
equitable division of the unallotted
water, in the light of the then incrcas-
ing knowledge and increasing need.
Preference in right for use of the
waters is to be established to agricul-
ture and none of the existing rights IN
the basin are disturbed.

Big Run of Fish Reported

The largest run of fish in the Nam
ticoke River for many years was rec
orded recently and as a result, prices
dropped to the lowest level since be-
fore the World War. Captain Edward
J. Lowe, one of the largest fishermen
on the river took from his nets in one
day nearly 5000 herring, 5000 perch,
and many shad, rock and catfish. The
catch on this day alone filled his two
large fish boats to capacity.
At the Ferry seine ground, 5 miles
below Seaford, a catch of 300 shad
together with hundreds of smaller fish
was made at one haul. The run of
fish has. caused many people to resur-
rect their old seines,, and the river
is dotted every night with float seines
of every description. Others have pur-
chased new seines and dipped them
into the river for the first time.
Every haul seine ground and every
floater on the river reported big catch
es with no indication of falling off
of the run. AS a result, fine roe shad
could be had in Seaford market, at 60
cents each, and the extra large ones
brought only rs cents. The bucks
dropped to 80 cents apiece, herring to
81 per hundred, and thousands of
these fish are being salted for winter
use,

Firing the Faithless

It is not easy for bitter foe Of the
White House occupant to grant Mr..
Harding the right to dismiss an un-
satisfactory government employee
whose sole right to hold Office must be
based on the presumption that he can
give satisfaction to the executive.
The critic of presidential procedure
in such a matter does not always dis
charge his own incapable employee
less abruptly. Indeed, one of the
proofs of business efficiency is consid-
cred the ability to dispense so prompt
ly with a faithless workman, that he
cannot add to the injury he does his
employer through continued tenure of
the job.
So, when bitter assaults are being
made upon President Harding for
summary dismissal Of federal officials
he considered harmful to the govern
ment service, it might be well to ask
of the assailant, "How do you fire
your faithless employee?"-St. Louis
Times.
