COLORADO RIVER
CONFERENCE TO
ADJOURN TONIGHT
by United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3l.-Boul-
der dam commissioners of Arizona,
Nevada and California held a final
closed session before the new year
holidays today in renewed efforts
to agree on program for Colorado
river development.
After today's meeting. the dele
gates are leaving for their homes.
1t is planned to return next week
and resume IKE deliberations, which
have apparently reached an impasse.
At today's session the amount of
tax to be allowed Arizona for power
developed at Boulder dam was re-
argued. The Arizona delegation
held to Sc per horsepower, with
California representatives offering
$l.65, which is 65 cents more than
their original concession.
The tentative agreement reached
on partition of water is dependent
upon an understanding upon the
power tax. Unless California and
Arizona representatives reach a de-
cision on this point the water agree
ment will not hold.
State Senator Ralph Swing, chair
man of the California delegation,
will not attend the session next
week, but will go to Sacramento in
stead for the biennial session of the
legislature.

Only Lord Beatty and
Wales Can Tilt Hats

London.-The tilt of Lord Beatty's
hat is the copyright of two persons
only in England-the prince of Wales
and Lord Beatty himself.
Lieut.. Gen. Sir William Furse is
advising the boys of the Church Lads
brigade, who are to be inspected by
the prince in June. to remember to
put their hats on straight and keep
them straight.
"There are only two officers in the
whole of the empire" Sir William
said, "who are allowed to wear their
uniform hats on one side of their
heads. One is the great Admiral Lord
Beatty and the other the prince of
Wales.
From the little know of the prince
of Wales. If he sees anybody mimick-
ing him, he will not give them such
q nice report as he might otherwise"

SIOUX DEMAND MANY
MILLIONS FROM U. S.
Tribal Claims Are Based on
Treaty Rights.

Pierre, s. D.--Millions Of dollars
would come to the Sioux of the Da-
kotas II they can establish all their
claims against the government in the
action now before the court OF
claims on the showings they make.
( This action started on the demand
Of the Sioux for compensation for the
Black Hills, territory which they
allege was taken from them in VIOLA
ton of treaty rights and on the sig
natures Of the heads Of few bands
of the Sioux, instead of general
agreement The value they put upon
this tract is $156, $50, with inter-

Besides the claim for the Black
Hills the action carries with 1t claims

dating back to 1854, with interest
running back that far on some of the
claims. The direct claims without
interest amount to approximately
$217,OO0,O00 for the general tribal
funds and approximately $5,00OOO0
for various bands, and the interest
charge will more than double this.
The government will present offsets
which will wipe out portion of this
claim, and just how much ever Will
come to the Indians is problem.
These claims are the result of a de-
mand made by the Sioux for pay for
the Black Hills section. When the
issue came up an agreement was
reached by which they were to gather
up all the old claims they made and
put them into one action.
Claims for Hay.
Several claims are made for hun
dred thousand dollars each for hay
cut upon the reservations for forage
for teams used by the early military
expeditions in the. upper Missouri
river country, and another good-sized
bill for wood cut for building forts
and for fuel by these expeditions.
Still another item is an estimated
amount which should have been spent
for education of the rowing tribes be-
tween the years 1868 and 1893, under
a treaty of 1868. Then there is a
charge for farming implements and
teams which were to be supplied I'M
der another treaty of the distant past,
estimating the number of Sioux who
were ready and willing to farm but
could not do so on account of lack Of
the proper equipment.

OLD NEW ORLEANS
is QUAINT SPOT
Perfume and Antique Shops
Intrigue Visitors

New Orleans.-The Vieux Carrie
Old New Orleans-iS known every
where as one Of the Quaintest spots in
America, but probably nothing else In
this historic quarter SO intrigues the
stranger as the perfume and antique
shops.
The tiny establishments are similar
to those found through France, but
there also are the larger shops. They
are scattered throughout the quarter,
but most of them are strung along
Royal street.
In the antique shops, lovers Of old
things are in their glory, for unlike
New England and other old sections
of the country, the New Orleans es-
Establishments have not yet been cleared
of their treasures.
Priceless pieces, many Of them
brought to Nouvelle Orleans by the
first settlers, are on display, and the
spirit Of the owners is to welcome the
strolling stranger whether he is on a
buying mission or "just looking"
Feminine. visitors get real thrill
from the perfume shops in which al
Turing bottles contain even more al
Turing odors. Many Of the shops are
operated by descendants of the old
settlers and they have real family
pride in the products they are offer
ing.
In one or two of the places, special
attention has been given to typically
southern perfumes-magnolia. Jasmine
and orange blossoms--and the visitor
who purchases one Of those odors
may be sure that when she returns
to the "old home town" her hostess
at the bridge party will not have
beaten her to it, in the way of per-
fume.

Irishman, IFS Years Old,
Walks Mile for Pension

London.-Ireland, famous breeding
ground Of hale and hearty old men.
has produced a superintendent. He
is William Smith of DrOmara, County
Down, who has celebrated his one
hundred and twenty-fifth birthday. He
was middle aged, according to ordi-
nary standards, when he went off to
fight in the Crimean war. His most
strenuous exercise nowadays is walk
ing mile each Friday to receive his
pension.
Ireland has produced many long
lived persons, but women in the Brit
ish Isles as whole are much longer
lived than men. There are about ten
times as many female centenarians
as male. Clergymen and peers seem
to live longest in these modern times
of rush and stress. but even the old
est of them are young compared to
Thomas earn, a Londoner, who died
on January Is, 1888. at the venerable
age of two hundred and seven. At
least, this is record said to have
been inscribed in the parish register
of st. Leonard's church, Shoreditch.
which was destroyed by fire.
Students of longevity say centena-
rians come from long-lived families,
where the thing is habit. They
discount the many pet modes of liv-
ing, the prejudices for or against to-
bacco, alcohol, tea, or this food or
that, to which old persons often at
tribute their achievements In piling
up birthdays.

The selection Of Miss Hall as the
person to whom the annual should be

of the members of the class of '26,
as every one Of them, it happens, be-
gan their educational career under
her guidance II years ago. II is
said that Miss Hall maintains a keen
interest in the progress Of her pu-

MILK YOUR COWS
THRICE DAILY And
INCREASE OUTPUT

Recent studies completed by the
United States department of agricul-
ture on the comparative yield of COWS
MIXED twice a day and these MIXED
three times a day will no doubt be
viewed by the farm boy and the hired
man with the feeling that some n
is always taking the JOY out of life
The departments mixers have
found that milking three times a day
produces more milk than t~wice-a-day
milking. In fact, over a short period
the increase in production is 12.5 per
cent, while ever a long period it ap-
pears that this increase is even
greater. It was noted that cows
MIXED three times a day hold up
better near the end Of the ~lactatiOn
period than COWS MIXED twice a day,
The economy of the three-times-a-
day milking has not yet been ac'
curately estimated, but it will depend
upon several factors, chief of which
are quantity of production, cost of
labor, and value of product.

MILWAUKEE SETS
new RECORD FOR
Freight TONNAGE

The 1925 freight business Of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
railway was handled In trains that
averaged about SO tons each more
than the average train load of the
year 1924, and about 238 tons each
more than the average train lead Of
1915.
This remarkable showing can be
better set forth by saying that it
would have required $4,000 more
train miles than were run in 1925 to
haul the business Of that year if The
train load had been the same as in
1924; and that it would have taken
100000 additional train miles in
1925 to move 1925 traffic if the av-
erage train load had been the same
as in 1915.
The saving Of 100000 train miles
is equivalent to saving the movement
of 1880 trains all the way from Chi
cago to Seattle.
Considering the cost of running q
train-in fuel, other supplies, wages
etc.,-it is plain that the Milwaukee
roads continuous effective effort tt
make each car and train carry {
heavier load has avoided the expendi-
ture Of millions of dollars and thu:
helped offset the great increase II
payrOlls, material bills, taxes, etc.
which have come to pass since 1915.

For Roads Only
One of the principal actions taken
was the adoption of a resolution de-
claring for expenditures of gasoline
and automobile license tax money for
road Improvement exclusively, and
for collection of automobile license
fees and personal taxes on autOmO-
biles by county t%reasurers at the same
time.

The closing session was enlivened
by attacks on the proposed five-mill

poses, a measure fostered by the
Montana Education association. No
action in this connection, however, was
taken.
