ROCKWELL LETTER NO. 8
By ROBERT F. ROCKWELL

The bills for the approval of the
interstate compacts respecting the
Colorado river and the La Plata river
Ia tributary of the Colorado river)
have received the most exhaustive
consideration of any measures intro
duced at this session of the legisla-
ture. The Governor submitted the
compacts to the legislature at the
beginning of the session. The bills
for their approval were introduced
promptly. A report of the Commits
sioner for Colorado accompanied the
compacts at the time they were sub
mitted by the Governor. These re-
ports were printed and distributed
thruout the state. There have been
daily conferences with the various
interested parties and their repre-
sentatives. And every phase of the
compacts have been discussed over
and over again and the search-light
of criticism has been directed upon
the entire subject.
to approve both compacts.
The La Plata river compact involves
the La Plata river which rises in the
La Plata mountains in Colorado and
flows south into New Mexico where
it joins the San Juan, Immediately
below Pennington. The stream is
small and the irrigable acreage is
out of proportion to the limited wa
ter supply. The first development
was in New Mexico, at which time
the area in Colorado was in the Ute
Indian reservation. The subsequent
development in Colorado so absorbed
the flow of the river (excepting dur
ing foods) that the situation became
very acute. Both states were pre-
pairing for an interstate suit at the
time the legislatures authorized the
compact commission. The compact
signed by the commissioners has been
the subject of thorough consideration
and meets with general approval. 1t
is happy and fortunate solution of
difficult problem. 1t assures max
imum future development of the Col
orado area without detriment to
New Mexico. 1t opens the field for
reservoir construction in Colorado
and assures the title to the water to
be impounded. The fixing of the IT,
tie affords assurance to the invest
ment of capital necessary to the con-
struction of large irrigation works
upon the river. The increasing re-
turn waters from the irrigated lands
in Colorado are automatically solv.
ing the interstate difficulties and ul-
timately will care for the greater
part of the obligations undertaken by
Colorado in the compact.
The Colorado river area, including
parts of the seven states, has beer
previously described in many articles
appearing in the press. The article
appearing in the Rocky Mountain
News of March IL, 1923, by Haskin
gives terse description of the
stream and its problems. The inter

BIG PICTURE LAST TIME AT COLISEUM

That Metros presentation of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" the Rex Ingram production adapted for the screen by June Mathis, rivals the greatest theatrical offerings of the legitimate stage, was the opinion of John Calvin, Mayor of Cincinnati, after twice viewing the picture in New York This screen masterpiece is now showing at the Coliseum and Is on for the last time tonight.
 ''It is the greatest picture l have ever seen," declared MT. Calvin. Its dramatic power is something wonder full and it affected me just much as though I was witnessing a spoken performance. It stirs the emotions and I am not ashamed to say that parts of that picture brought lump 10 my throat and tears to my eyes.
 - "Pfctures like The Four Horse men are the greatest kind of adver- tisement to show that the movies are capable of just as wonderful dramatic effects as the speaking stage. It shows what tremendous things the big companies of the mo- ton picture industry are doing to advance the standard of pictures"

TONSILS
TONSILS By Marie E. Falldine, Public Health Nurse, Juneau Chapter Am aripan E o1 CrOsc

At least 100000 children in the United States suffer from obstructed breathing caused by enlarged tonsils and adenoids.
 Many of the acute diseases of childhood may have their origin in diseased tonsils. Repeated sore throat, rheumatism, quinsy, earache and nervous diseases are often due to defective tonsils.
 Enlarged glands of the neck may appear. as well as diseases of the heart, lungs. kidneys and stomach; ; noises in the ear and impaired hear mig, enlarged thyreid, hardening of the arteries which brings on old ago and a generally lowered vitality may be traced to the tonsils. Whatever the protective action of the normal tonsil may be, when it becomes itself diseased it is of more danger than benefit and sometimes very innocent looking tonsils may contain germs of various diseases and it has been found that car rler of such diseases as diphtheria. scarlet fever, measles, etc, is one who has defective tonsils. The di- sease germs may not harm the one who is carrying them, but they are as dangerous to the public as though they were i'll themselves with the disease. While some enlarged tonsils tend to disappear al the age of puberty, there is considerable risk incurred Icondition and therefore at the least sign of tonsil trouble a physician should examine them and if neces- sary they should be removed.
 Tonsils completely removed do not return.

"WHY GIRLS LEAVE HOME COMING TO COLISEUM

For the seeker after something diff ferent in the realm of the protoplay the management of the Coliseum Theatre has something special to of fer tomorrow and Friday when there will be presented for the first time in Juneau the thrilling heart-interest photodrama. "Why Girls Leave Home.H Although the theme and ti- tie of the production are from the great American stage success Of the same name which thrilled theatre go- CTS a generation ago, the Warner Brothers, who present the picture claim that there is not a bit of maud lin melodrama in the entire story. One prominent reviewer has stated that the production struck him as "a blend of Way Dowp East and 'Humoresque, although the picture itself resembles neither of the two productions mentioned.
 The scenario. theme, production and cast are all of the very best. Anna o. Nilson has the stellar role and she is supported by Maurine Powers, Corrine Barker, Dan Mason, George Lessey, Claude King, Rather inc Perry and others of note.
 The story deals with every home in general but for the sake of clarity presents two specific instances. One, the home of a rich merchant who ir- dulges his daughters every whim. The other, the home of the rich mans employee, who represses in his daugh- ter every youthful instinct. The re- suit is that both girls leave home and attempt to fight the battles of life alone.
