as tending to deplete a national as
set and interfere with development

Recently it was drawn into the direc-
ton of the proposed Colorado com
pact under which seven states Dor
iering on the river would have
agreed upon tho use of the surplus

Noye, st. Psul lightweight, was
knocked out in the ninth round Of
his scheduled 10-round bout with
Russie Leroy of Fargo here last
night. The Minnesota boxer was no
match for the Fargo flash, who pum-
melled his opponent all around the
ring in every round and apparently
could have finished the fight sooner.
However, he seemed content to
wear down Noye gradually with stiff
body blows and solid lunches to the
jaw. LeRoy's footwork and technique
were pretty to watch and insured
him of following here for future
