strongest argument which could be

Davis at Chamber Ban
quet Urges One
Agency Control
STRONG FOR DAM
Former Governor of Ida
no, Cannon Also
Speaks

Boulder Canyon Is the only
place or. the Colorado river near
enough to industrial centers to
justify power development, and
practical for flood control and
storage water for irrigation pur-
poses.
"All power sites and dams on
the Colorado river must be con-
trolled by one agency. What
that agercy or controlling power
is to be, is q matter that must be
worked out, but If flood control,
storage Of water for irrigation
purposes and development Of hy-
dro-electric energy are to be sue
ccssfully carried out, it must be
under one authority, whether that
authority Is vested in the national
government, an association of the
states affected, OR private corpor-
ations.
Sc sam Arthur p. Davis, director
of the United States Reclamation
Service in an address last night be-
fore the chamber of commerce fol-
lowing dinner at the Barbara Worth
hoted. 1t was a speech erammed
full of facts, figures and interest
ing data on the Colorado river, and
though it was largely the speech of
a technical man, dealing with a
problem, it was nevertheless most
interesting one, and the pity is that
all who are agitating against tho
construction of Boulder dam could
not have heard it, Director Davis
showed familiarity with the
whims and actions of the Colorado
and its tributaries that proved be-
yond any doubt that he knows the
necessity for controlling the river
better than many who are vitally
interested in this work and far be-
yond the knowledge of the usual
government official, removed thous-
ands of miles from the turbulent
stream.
Amazing Figures
Describing the immense amount
of sediment that is carried down
each year by the Colorado, aided by
its tributaries, the Green, Gi.a and
Grand rivers, Mr.. Davis said in one
year this sediment equals in volume
the entire amount of earth removed
for the construction of the Panama
canal. He described the necessity
for a series of dams and reservoirs
which could be operated so as to
provide necessary water for irriga-
tion and power development, and
be so regulated that the yearly in
take of sediment could be cleared
away when it had reached such
proportions as to endanger the
amount of water that should be
stored. Usually, there is sufficient
water in the Colorado river through
out the year, to provide for irrigat-
ed lands adjacent to it, but repeti-
tion of the years of drouth from
1899 to 1904 is always possible, and
this ever threatening danger. must
be provided against.
Flood Menace Dangerous
The danger Of flood menace, he
declared, is equally as important to
control as the drouth menace. He
referred to the season of 1916, when
the Peak of the flood in the Gila
liver. camc only nine days previous
to the flood in the Colorado. Usual
~ these two rivers have different
flood periods, but in that particular
year. only nine days separated them.
