Bootleggers Get Same
Dose Wednesday AS
Leadville Last Week

The second big raid Of federal off,
cials on wide open towns of Colorado
took place at Telluride night before
last when eleven prohibition agents
stepped of the train from Montrose
and without waiting for supper were
busy till. after midnight rounding up
the bootleggers. Midnight reports
were that 312 persons were held, Of
which some 81 were direct defendants
on charges of illegal sale Of liquor.
These last were taken to Montrose yes
terday and will be released on $1,000
bond each, after appearing bofore U.
S. Commissioner Atkinson at EoRt-
rose.
Following the spectacular raid at
Leadville last week, warnings were
sent to the town of Telluride, but
the lawless element thought the Jour
nal which printed the warning, was
simply trying to scare them and paid
no attention to it. Special officers
have been on the job in that city for
some time and had all the dope TO
guide the federal clean up squad.

Salient Features of
Seven-State Treaty
ROCKWELL DISCUSSES 1T AT
LENGTH AND FEARS RESULT
OF DEFEAT MORE THAN THE
DANGERS OF ACCEPTANCE.
The Colorado River Compact

Probably the most important class
of Legislation which this General As
sembly must decide will be the Water
Compacts, one having to do with the
La Plata river, and the other, the
Colorado river. This compact is in a
sense q treaty between the four So
called upper states, which include Col
orado, Utah, Wyoming and New Mex
leo, and the three lower states, which
include Arizona, California and Neva-
da. As we are particularly interested
in the Colorado river, / shall consider
the Colorado River Compact alone.
Altho the same arguments apply to
the La Plata River Compact, which
is also before this Assembly for ratifi-
cation. All Of the seven states have
ratified the compacts with the excep-
ton Of Colorado and Arizona.
Ever since Colorado was state,
she has had to fight in defense of her
water rights. Every biennial for
years past the Legislature has had to
set aside from thirty TO fifty thousand
dollars a year to be used by the At
torney Generals office in defense of
Colorado's water. Two years ago the
23rd general assembly passed law
authorizing the governor TO appoint a
commissioner representing Colorado to
meet with similar commissioners rep
resenting the six other states using
the waters that rise in the Rocky
Mountains, in an endeavor to stop
for all time further litigation and dis
putes over water rights. President
Harding appointed Secretary of Com
merce, Herbert Hoover, to represent
the government in carrying out the
Investigation in an effort to arrive at
some satisfactory basis for treaty or

OUTLOOK 5000 FOR
SCHOOLS AND ROADS SAYS
ATTORNEY {. N. N0URsE
College Bills are in Good Hands. Our Road
Funds Exceed 100000. Strange Allie
CATIONS Made to State Tax Commission and
Refuted

"The Normal School bills are being
cared for in both the state senate and
house of representatives" wis the
word brought back from Denver yes
terday by Attorney f. H. Nourse,
who had been in the capital city since
Sunday, looking over the situation and
attending to interests of Gunnison
county before the State Highway Com
mission and the State Tax commis-
sion. Mr.. Nourse put in busy three
days and returned well pleased with
the situation.
81 found Representative Cowan do
ing nothing else right now, but stay
ing with the school bills, of which he
has already passed the first one,
changing the name to Western State
College, thru the house. He is very
popular among the members, both Re-
publicans and Democrats, and we can
be assured he will overlook nothing
that is vital to their success. In the
senate, Lieutenant Governor Rockwell
is now presiding officer instead of q
senator, but he assures US that the
situation is fully as favorable there.
"A hitch has come up over changing
the name of the school from Normal
to College, some educators insisting
that the word teachers should be in
cluded in the title. A conference of
heads of the educational institutions
is called in Denver for Friday after
noon to discuss this and other points
concerning bills all the colleges have
in, and President Quigley is on the
ground to look after our interests.
The other three bills, $4,000 for de-
ficiency, 100000 for q new building
and increased maintenance are
all in good shape, but no one can
predict with certainty what q legisla-
ture, striving for economy, will pass.
