Uppes Basin's Future
The so-cslled upper Basin" in
cludes the best watered portions Of
New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming
and Utah. The Upper Basin is larger
than the state Of Colorado. II il the
new, and to . great extent unknown,
portion Of those four upper states.
A large portion Of the Upper Basin
was but recently covered by Indian
Reservations. Much Of it is still COW
cred by Indian Reservations. Large
sections Of that country have not yet
been surveyed and sub divided.
Az far a. we can learn there has
never been careful investigation and
survey of any part Of the Upper
Basin with view TO ascertaining how
much land can be irrigated in the fu-
ture. Hundreds Of thousands Of acres
have been filed upon by new settlers
during the past few years; and there
are yet hundreds Of thousands of acres
to be filed upon. The greater part Of
this tremendous basin q ~ nsw - the
San Juan-with development only be-
ginning; with irrigation still limited
to small ditehss; with the storage of
water not even commenced upon.
Estimates Speculative
In the report Of Mr.. Carpenter rec
ommending the adoption Of the COM
pact by the Colorado legislature, he
bases his report upon q report Of Mr..
Meeker and made part Of the Car
penter report.
Mr.. Meeker estimates that the Up
per Basin Ii now using (eonsuming)
$500, 900 acre feet Of water per an
mum. And that the entire future de-
velopment Of the Upper Basin will
require only 100000 acre feet per
annum-thus making up q total Of
SOC, 900 acre feet per annum for the
future use Of the Upper Basin.
There appears to be no reliable
future upon which to base any esti-
mate Of tia future Of the Upper Bas-
IN. No one has surveyed, no one has
measured, and but few have ever at
tempted to guess. But there are some
facts which show that the estimate OF
Mr.. Meelker Is insufficient. And It isl
dangerous to risk the future Of this
Upper Basin upon any mere estimate.

Fifth Pan-American Conference One of the
Most Important in History


E-HE Fifth Pan-American conference, which met at Santiago,
Chile, was one of the most important meetings held in the his
tory Of the continent. More important than its accomplishments
a were the movements that it started. These, if not strangled, will
lead to a close organization of American nations, and provide a machinery
for the settlement of disputes and for the effective cooperation OF the
American nations in building up their economic, social and educa-
tional life.
The absence of Mexico, because of its non-recogntion by the United
States, brought about this change: It was provided that the governing
board shall be composed of the diplomatic representatives OF the Amer
lean states in Washington and the secretary of state of the United
States, but that any country not having a diplomatic representative IN
Washington may appoint a special representative to the Pan-Amerlcan
union. The presidency of the governing board was made elective and
the practice of comforting this post permanently on the United States
secretary Of state was discontinued. The proposal Of Costa Rca for the
free appointment of any person, a a countrys representative, on the
governing board was referred to the governments for study. The full
significance Of this proposal is not appreciated unless it is taken in con-
nection with another, made by the same country which called for
the organization Of an American court of justice Thus a complete
machinery for handling American questions would be created, with the
Pan-Amercan conferences as the legislative body, the Pan-Amercan
union as the executive, and the American court of justice as the judicial
branch.
Though there were many disagreements during the conference, the
fact remains that a spirit of American solidarity prevailed throughout
Only on methods did the various delegates fail to agree. The principle
that the American continent has its own system, different from that of
other parts Of the world, was never challenged in the conference. One
of the things made clear by this conference is that Pan-AmericanBm
does not mean simply a cooperation between the United States and the
rest Of Latin America, but that it must include a cooperation between
the Latin-American nations themselves.

Famous Ozark Country Deserves to Be Known
for It's Glorious Scenery
By JOHN t. FARIs, in Seeing the Middle West"

But the Ozark country, famous IS it is for its lead and iron and
zinc, deserves to be even better known for its glorious scenery; its
remarkably uniform summit levels; its curious sink holes, due to colaps-
ing cavern roofs in the limestone country of the east; its caves further
south and west, where onyx deposits are plentiful; its great game pre-
serve in fancy county; its disappearing streams; its springs down in
Ozark and Shannon counties, some of them the largest in the world; its
unusual water power on rapid, rock-waHed streams, the possibilities of
which are revealed by the dam and plant of the Ozark Power and Water
company, on White River, near Forsythe.
The beautiful Ozarks are the most centrally located highlands in
the United States They cover a region larger than England in five states,
Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Illinois, though the greater
portion is in Missouri. There they comprise practically half the state.
Fortunately, the name of this highland district is as pleasing al the
country-though some of the people who live there do not think SO. 1t
sounds Like an Indian name, but it isn't; in vain phiologists will seek its
derivation, until they have the simple key; it is a contraction of the
French aux Arcs" In early days, when travellers spoke of going to the
French port on the Arkansas, they said, briefly, they were bound "Aux
Arcs With ease this expression was contracted to Ozarks. At first the
new words meant the River Arkansas, then its basin, next the highlands
north Of it.

WHITE PLAGUE is
GROWING MENACE
Toll of Women Larger as Sex
Inyades Active Industry
More Generally.

Washington.-Modern women are
the deadly white plague, tuberculosis,
because of their more active participa-
ton in life, according to the United
States Public Health service.
Heretofore, women have been less
liable to the disease than men because
of their more sheltered and less in
tense mode of living. The entry of
women into business and other ca
reers, however, has virtually destroy
ed the disparity between the male and
female consumption death rate.
About one-third of ali deaths be-
tween 20 and 40 are due to tubercu-
losis, chiefly the pulmonary variety.
health service records show. The rea-
son for this is explained by DR.. F. G..
Smith, assistant surgeon general of
the service.
This period is the age of greatest
stress, the time of extreme ~endeayor,"
he says. Between 20 and 40 ardent
desires, intense ambitions, passions,
both good and evil, drive the human
machine r~elentlessly.
pride, instinct and vanity, the de-
sire to excel, to marry we'll, to be adj
mired, all conspire to stimulate ac-
tivity. The ambition to make money
obtain place and secure power leads
to s~elf-denial and to immoderate ex-
ertions.
whether a mans capital is brain
or Drawn, whether he has mental
force or physical strength to invest
the mid-period of life finds him spend
ing, spending lavishly of the best he
has. Whether he succeeds or fails, his
expenditures are limited only by his
physical resources.
with women no less than with
men is this a critical period and it
will not be strange if, owing to more
active participation in life's struggle
the difference in the mortality rate
from tuberculosis, which is now IN
favor of the female, should shortly
disappear"

PARIS TURNS DOWN
GERMAN REQUEST
Poincare Says France viii Con-
fer on Preparations as Whole,
But Not on Ruhr Policy.

Paris.-The reparation problem as
a whole is still where it was before
the German government announced
cessation Of the passive resistance in
the Ruhr. This is the conclusion in
French official circles after the visit
to the French foreign Office of Herr
Won Hoesch, the German charge daft
fairies.
Herr Won Hoesch told Premier Poin-
care he was instructed to open direct
negotiations between the Berlin and
Paris governments and to offer Ger
many's cooperation toward the re-
sumption Of the normal economic life
of the Ruhr.
The Germans are credited in French
circles with being ready to negotiate
only in order to have a hand in the
Ruhr regime now that the resistance
has ended. And Premier Poincare
told the German envoy that in as
much as negotiations were in progress
between the allies and the groups OF
industrialists and labor leaders in the
Ruhr, he did not consider it advisable
to undertake further conversations
with Berlin on the same subject.
When Germany was ready to make a
proposition covering the entire repara-
ton question he would be glad to con-
slider it.
The French theory is that the Ger
mans desire to enjoy the benefits of a
moratorium without accepting any OF
the conditions the Allies proposed.

John Silver, Figure of Romance Possibly
Unequaled in It's Subtlety


Stevenson has given us in John Silver a figure of romance possibly
unequaled in its subtlety by any creator since Shakespeare and Webster.
A wonderful creature is John Silver, and subtle must be the actor that
can present him. Henry Irving could have done it, and MI. Bourchier
approaches Irvings standard in the weird last act Of the stirring play.
Ask any boy if Silver is wholly bad and he will instantly answer
NO. and the boy is right Jim in the story saw through him and loved
him. Yet Silver from point of view is a monster and a ruthless muir
derer, from another he is a selfseeker and disloyal to his own men, and
he is undoubtedly afraid not Of death on the field or on the sea, but Of
death in 81 Execution Dock.
He liz almost as bad as David, that great romantic Semitic figure.
Yet, like David, he is a figure that no one will hear a word against
Why? Because he is IN a sense, the incarnation Of romance.

When Middle West Farmer Gets Into Politics
He Raises the Very Devil
By WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE, Omaha Editor.

Basialy our trouble is the old trouble we have had for forty years
transportation. We have to ship everything we sell to a buyer and put
transportation in everything we buy from the maker. We are overloaded
with freight rates. In every Pitsburgh-plus transaction which governs
American prices and makes every industry a national instead Of a local
industry-seel, lumber, fuel, food and clothing-the Missouri valley
industries.
In prosperous times there is enough margin in agriculture and those
local industries dependent upon agriculture here in the Middle West to
give the farmer and his friends a profit. So he is peaceful. But when
the economic pinch comes the farmer feels it, and he is intelligent enough
to realize that he is suffering from a remediable wrong He may be
unWse in looking to politics for a remedy, but he does look to politics
for a remedy, and when he gets into politics he raises the very devil
1t is a curious thing that when the farmer gets mad because he lis
unfairly treated in the matter of transportation he forges more o less
about the transportation question and does something else.
