NASH WALKER, PIONEER CITI-
ZEN AND LOCAL CELEBRITY,
DIES.

With the passing away of the late
Nash Walker, pioneer citizen and local
celebrity of over forty years resi-
dence in Denver and other parts of
Colorado, one of the connecting links
between the old and new Denver was
snapped when he yielded up his life
to the Grim Reaper Thursday, Nov. .,
after period of nearly four score
years of life Mr.. Walker was the
father of the late George Walker, of
the famous theatrical troupe of Will
liams and Walker, and was popularity
known as a local celebrated character
in his famous African Movement,
which attracted much interest here
and elsewhere. He was also source
of information to those who were
anxious to gather first-hand knowl-
edge of Denver in its territorial days,
also its gradual rise into prominence.
He was well thought of and held in
much esteem by many of the leading
colored and white business men, and
his death is deplored by all classes of
the community. Funeral services will
be held tomorrow from the Douglass
Undertaking Parlors at p. IN. Inter
ment at Riverside. The Colorado
Statesman mourns the loss of man
who in his own way contributed his
share to the interest of the community
and who lived his life for the cause of
others.

Disagree on Tourist Camps.

Kansas City, Mo.-Discussion as to
whether tourist camps are beneficial
to cities maintaining them occupied
the convention of the City Managers
Association here for one day. There
is serious doubt in my mind" said e..
G. Elliott, Wichita, Kan, las to the
desirability of tourist camps. l have
definitely decided that their mainten-
ance is not civic duty. 1t is not right
to tax the people to provide lodgings
for visitors in motor cars. 1t would
be equally just to so accommodate
visitors on trains"

Divide WATERS
OF COLORADO
BASIN OF THE COLORADO RIVER
WILL BE DIVIDED INTO
TWO GROUPS.
RIVER PACT IS MADE
GOVERNORS OF SEVEN STATES
INVITED TO ATTEND MEET
ING OF COMMISSION.

Santa Fe, n. M-The Colorado
compact for the allotment of the wa
ter of the Colorado river. The COM
mission has agreed finally upon the
main principles of treaty which will
be entered into between the seven
states in the river basin and the fed
eral government. The commission,
headed by Herbert Hoover, its chair
man, began its meetings here in execu-
tive session on Nov. 8.
The commission did not announce
all of the details of the compact. Its
announcement said the agreement
will provide for dividing the basin in
to two groups. Utah, Colorado, Wyo-
ming and New Mexico will be placed
in the upper division, while Arizona,
Nevada and California will be in the
lower division. These divisions will
divide the waters of the river.
The commission did not announce
where the water passing from one d.
vision to another would be measured,
nor did it announce the technical de-
tails of the compact, such as the
agreement reached upon the actual
figures covering the valume of flow
of the river Much of the commits
sion's time was occupied in the discus
sion of technical details of this kind.
No announcement was made, either,
concerning any provision for posi-
Bile future requirements for the Re
public of Mexico. A provision, how
ever, was made for the summoning OF
second commission in later years to
provide for an equitable division of
the unalloted water the present COM
mission apparently not being DESTROYS
of taking full responsibility for all
time for division of the flow of the
! river.
Agriculture will be given preference
in rights for use of the water OF the
! stream, according to the commission .
announcement, and none of the exist
ing rights in the river will be dis
| turbed.
Chairman Hoover announced that
the commission was in full accord re
garding the urgency of immediate
erection of control work to protect the
Imperial Valley, California, from
| floods.
The commission had not completed
| the actual language of the compact
Governors and governors-elect of the
seven states of the basin have been IN
vited by Chairman Hoover to come to
| Santa Fe before the final agreement
is signed.
The legislatures of the seven states
in the basin must ratify the compact
before it becomes effective. Congress
also must approve it to make ii
effective.

POPULAR AND HIGHLY RESPECT
ED PIONEER oBEYs HER LAST
SUMMONS.


Mrs Mary Elizabeth Dyer, popular
and highly respected pioneer citizen OF
Denver, Colo, responded to the last
summons on Saturday afternoon, Nov.
IL, at her late residence, 1852 Welton
street, after n continuous illness of
four years, suffering from paralysis.
She was born in Huntsville, Ala, 60
years ago and came to this city short
ly after her marriage to Augustus
Dyer in Memphis, Tenn, residing in
Denver for over thirty-one years.
Mrs. Dyer was quite familiar with
its development and on many occa-
sions she was depended on for sub
stimulating facts relative to our mu-
nicipal growth, religious, educational
and social advancement in the commu-
nifty. The deceased was very promi-
nent in church and fraternal circles,
having been staunch member and
supporter of Shorter \. NJ. +. Church
for over thirty years, during which
time she took an active part in all
church activities. She was also Il
member of the Order of the Eastern
Star, Lone Star, chapter No. 10, for
over twenty-eight years, and was very
devoted to the principles of the order
She was especially interested in chill
dren, thereby gaining the respect OF
all classes in the community, having
won herself into the confidence OF
Denver citizens. In the home she was
untiring in her efforts toward com
fort, improvement and cheerfulness.
AS builder and helper in the reli-
gious and social life of her people she
admirably filled her place, and as an
adviser and consider to the youth, as
well as others of advanced years, she
was never found wanting in times OF
trouble and distress. Having BONE
her illness for so long time with
such Christian fortitude, her eXem'
plary life and character can only re-
mind us in the most of life we are IN
DEATH" the very oft-repeated Biblical
expression which has been proven
again and again in this life, and in
this event comes with more than ordi-
nary empressiveness, rs we pause for
moment to pay our last respect and
tribute to the memory of a dear, be-
loved woman who is now enjoying the
rest that remaineth for the people OF
God, and who, having been borne aloft
to a reward meritorious, utters with
the eXultant Christian, THY VIII BE
Done"
The funeral services We're held last
Wednesday at Shorter A. Nj. f.
Church under the auspices of the
Eastern Star, while the Rev. w. ii
Thomas, pastor of the church; Rev
|. $. Wilson of Campbell A. NJ. +
Church, and Rev. ii. +. Raining OF
the Episcopal Church performed the
sacred rites. The choir was in at
tendance, with Miss Mabel Cole as
soolist. Quite a large number of per
sons of both races attended, and
amidst a profusion of rare and beauti'
full floral offerings the body of Mary
+. Dyer was laid to rest in Paramount
Cemetery, leaving II devoted husband
and n host of friends to mourn the
loss of one who accomplished much
for suffering humanity while she lived
among u.s. The funeral directors were
the Douglass Undertaking Company.
