HUNT RIVER COMMITTEE
STRIKES SNAG AT IT'S
HEARING AT CAPITAL

WASHINGTON, Sept 25. - Pro-
test against the approval Of any ma
jor development projects along the
Colorado river until the Colorado COM
pact becomes effective through rat-
fication by Arizona was filed with
the federal water power commission
today on behalf Of other states inter-
ested in the great waterway.
Denying any intention to coerce
Arizona, delegations from Colorado,
Wyoming and California insisted that
issuance of license covering a pro-
jected power development IN the Colo
RADIO canyon would endanger the whole
fabric of the agreement drawn up
under federal sanction to conserve the
interests of the seven states using the
waters of the river. Similar objection
was made against the plan outlined
yesterday by Governor Hunt, as head
of the Arizona delegation, which
would put the canyons development
in the hands of an Arizona state
board.
Contention of Arizona that the COM
pact would give an unequitable div
ision of water. to the upper basin in
perpetuity was vigorously denied. En-
gineering reports were cited with the
intention of showing that although
17,000, 900 annual acre feet of water
originated in the four states in the
north, the proposed division would
give these only 100000 annual feet
against 8,500,0D0 annual feet to the
three southern states. In this con
nection, the commission was told that
the single project covered by an ap-
piication before it for a power plant
in the canyon in Arizona, would re-
quire the average flow Of the river
for 20 months.
Opposition to the Arizona plan and
to the states position regarding the
compact was voiced also by saveral
citizens of Arizona. Col. B. f. Fly,
who represented the Yuma chamber
of commerce, declared prompt ratifI-
cation of the pact would be secured
if the question was put to vote in
Arizona, adding that the ~present deli
egation, having been named by con-
vention which was hand picked by
Governor Hunt, naturally opposed the
compact"
Ely asserted that in recent special
elections supporter of the seven
state agreement was elected by a ma
jority of Give and six to one"
At one point Governor Hunt cfal-
lenged statements of the witnesses
and protested to the commission that
they were inaccurate.
United States Senator Cameron of
Arizona expressed the opinion that
the majority sentiment in the state
was in favor of the compact. This,
he said, was largely because it was
recognized as being for the interest
of the great mass of people dependent
upon the river.

Needles who had waded to the door
and was weepillgly asking to be saved
from the flood. Mrs Lindsay let her
in and discovered that the lake was up
ten feet and still rising, while logs
three feet in diameter were floating
past the door. The several automo-
biles that had parked short distance
away. were half under water. Mrs.
Lindsay awakened Mr.. Watkins and

to bring the caiaoe nearer, waded
back. with a lantern in either hand.
Suddenly both lanterns shot into the
air. E,weil dropped out of sight be-
meath the water. He had fallen into
the ice-caves;
He couldn't swim, but he crawled
up the rocks s!t the side of the cave,
SO cold he couldn't cuss his senti-
Inents for five minutes.
Meanwhile a dozen women who had
gathered in the store were wailing
and begging the men to do something
to save them and theiE children. There
didn't seem to be anything to do to-
save them but It seemed imperative
that they be csllred down. So Bowen

Don Chisholm, whose ranch house in
the valley below the lake was buried

gathered for a roundup, came with
his whole family, horseback, after

small terrier was washed off the back

COLORADO RIVER PARTY
BELIEVED SAFE DESPITE
RECENT RECORD FLOOD

Despite the terrific increase in the
height of the Colorado river last week,
it is felt that the u. S. government
party of eleven men surveying the
river are safe. They were to arrive
at Diamond creek about the first Of
next week, though high water prob
ably forced them to Jay up for sew
eral days and it may be the end of
next week before they reach there.
Roger Birdseyes of Flagstaff, cou-
sin of Colonel G. III. Birdseye, chief
topographic engineer u. S. geological
survey, who is in charge Of the party,
left here this week for Peach Springs
to take supplies from there to Dia-
mond creek to await the arrival of
the expedition.
Roger was highly disturbed last
week over the flood conditions and the
added danger that meant to the river
party. But he never wavered in his
faith that they would come through
all right, even when a II. S. G. S.
boat was reported to have been seen
floating, upside down and half sub
merged, in the river off the Kather>
inc mine. Instead he set to work to
prove it was not their boat. 1t turn
/ ed out he was right; it was a boat
/ that had been washed away further
up the river.
The river was running $500 cubic
I feet a second on the 17th. On the
18th it was running 100000 cubic
feet a second, more than IL times the
volume of two days earlier. There
was a raise at the guaging station Of
29 feet in the two days, which was
believed would mean a raise of about
4 so feet in the box canyons in which
the expedition was then working.
While it may be accepted almost as
a miracle if the party escaped the
flood without any serious trouble, the
| fact that no sign of distress or dis
aster has been noted in the river be-
| low where they now are supposed to
be is encouraging. 1t is a case OF
mo news is good news"
Mr.. Emory Kolb, wife Of the head
boatDnan with the party, and their
daughter, Miss Edith Kolb, were in
from Grand Canyon Sunday to ar
range for Miss Kolb's attendance al
normal. They were much worried ov-
er the situation.
Unfortunately, the radio receiving
set that had been carried by the par
/ ty had weakened and was brought to
Flagstaff to be fixed by Roger Birds
eye when he came back from his last
meeting with the party, at Supai. II
they had had the radio with them, in
good order, undoubtedly they would
have received ample advance warning
Of flood conditions.
