ALL BASIN STATES
WOULD BENEFIT BY
BUILDING OF DAM
Storage Of Flood Waters
Would Make Possible
Reclamation Of Vast
Desert Acreage

LOS ANGELES, June 21.-Not
only the Imperial Valley, Calf, but
seven southwestern states--Arizona,
California, Nevada, New Mexico,
Utah. Colorado and Wyoming-and
the republic of Mexico would share
in the benefits of dam at Boulder
Canyon to control the flood waters
of the Colorado river,
That was definitely established at
meetings held at various places in
the southwest within recent months
not only by Herbert Hoover. secre-
tary OF commerce, acting as chair
man of the Colorado River commits
sion but also by A. B. Fall, secre-
tary of the interior and by the
League of the Southwest, composed
of the seven states named.
With the control of the flood wat
ers which annually have proved a
menace to the agricultural advance
of valleys in the southeastern part of
California would come also the de-
velopment of vast amount of
hydro electric energy and of water
to reclaim several million acres Of
now arid lands, 1t is believed.
A number of private corporations
have filed applications for permis-
sion to develop the Colorado river
from the standpoint of electrical en-
ergy and OF irrigation and the mu-
nicipality of Los Angeles also sought
a similar privilege.
1t was made plain however at a
meeting of the League of the South
west at Riverside, Calf, several
months ago by Secretary Fall that
whatever development of the river
was undertaken would be through
and by the federal government
Secretary Hoover, at recent confer
ences of the Colorado River commits
sion, stated that development of the
Boulder Canyon damsite should pro-
ceed at the earliest possible moment
and under some arrangement which
would leave permanent control OF the
project in the hands of the people.
The city of Los Angeles and the
private corporations withdrew their
applications after these pronounce
ments.
While the Imperial Valley and the
menace TO it of the flood waters OF
the Colorado river have prominent
places il hearings on development
plans the Palo Verde and Coachella
valleys also in California. have keen
interest in them there.
The Palo Verde valley is at pres
ent suffering from a recent overflow
of the Colorado river near Ripley,
Calf, and has been the subject this
week of a conference at Blythe,
Calf. of California and Arizona
state officials, with view to imme-
date relief through cutting channels
on the Arizona side to change the
course or the river.
The last convention of the League
of the Southwest was attended by
Representatives of General Obregon,
president of Mexico. and the inter-
ests and rights of that republic. as
applicable to the development OF the
Colorado river, were considered.
Whether any steps have been taxi
en- by the United States government
toward an understanding with Mex
leo on the subject is not known here.

In the next two centuries. If the gov
ernment proceeds with reasonable
r,romptness, every acre of land along
the Colorado river susceptible of cul-
tfyation will have been irrigated AT a
total expense of about S400,O00,0u0,
he added. The Boulder Canyon reser-
yoir will fill with mud within from
20 to so years after it's construction,
the secretary said adding that then
n would be necessary in all probaoli-
itv tn construct dams further UP the
river at Glen Canyon. He also Wouio
have dams built at Flaming Gorge
and Dewey.
The demand in Los Angeles ana
elsewhere in southern California for
electric power was explained to the
committee by Professor w. F. Du-
rand Of Stanford University VINO
stated that with all projected en-
Iarp.ments of private power con-
sfriIction the demand would not oe

non horsepower to be generated AT

titirn would not drive the private en-

Court Action Ends
In the Reuniting of
Husband and Wife

Following the dismissal yesterday
of a charge of failure to provide for
his wife against Frank w. Poole of
Scottsdale, Justice Henry j. Sulli-
van said a conference between Poole
and his wife, held in his office i'm
mediately after the preliminary hear
ing of the case resulted in a reunion
of the couple and they left for their
home in Scottsdale. This is one of
the many cases handled in this man
ner, Justice sullivan declared. and is
illustrative of his contention that the
courts are not maintained to put
people in Jail but rather to keep them
out of Jail.
The evidence in the Poole case.
which was bitterly contested by the
defendant. showed, Justice Sullivan
said that Mrs. Poole had left her
husband and had gone home to her
mother because of some disagree
ment between the couple. The sep
taration preyed on her mind to such
an extent, the evidence showed. that
she became critically Ill and her
mother on June Is filed charge OF
failure to provide against Poole.
The hearing held yesterday resulted
in the settlement of the case to the
satisfaction of all parties concerned.
