CALIFORNIA In DENVER
CONFERENCE STANDS PAT
FOR ADDITIONAL WATER

The seven-state Colorado river con-
ference delegates seem to be some
nearer an agreement. The upper basin
governors cling to the hope that out
of the mass Of plans, counter-plans
and amendments will come a settle
ment of the water-division controversy
between Arizona and California
The two states have agreed on the
use of tributary waters and on the
equal paper" division of the water I'M
allocated under the Santa Fe compact
which would be given them until the
year 1868. At that time they would
be re-allocated among all the seven
Colorado river states.
Arizona, in addition, has agreed to
accept 100000 acre feet of water
from her tributaries, to be subject to
no diminution by reason of any treaty
with Mexico except in such proportion
as this would bear to the waters al
located to the three lower basin states
from the main stream. California
baked at this clause.
Nevada, the third of the lower basin
states, having made her pronounce
ment Monday regarding the power de-
veloped by the proposed Boulder Can
yon dam, agreed to accept 100000
acre feet as her allotment from the
main stream
Under this latest upper basin pro-
posal Arizona would receive 100000
acre feet of water from the main
stream and California 100000. AS
for the tributary water other than Ari-
zona's, each state of the lower basin
could use it provided the apportion-
ment situated in more than one state
be left to adjudication between such
states. This, it was pointed out,
brought in contributing streams in
both New Mexico and Utah.
W. B. Mathews, a member Of the
California river commission, declared
that California cannot and will not"
agree to anything less than 4,563,000
acre feet of water. That, he added,
was necessary to the success of the
proposed all-American canal project
to irrigate Imperial valley and to care
for that states perfected water rights.
The hitch in the proceedings, there
fore, occurs in the division of the
main stream water
1t was practically agreed Wednes-
day to let the power question, injected
into the discussions Monday by Ne
vada, go over until the next meeting
Of the conference, to be held in 1.-TWO
or three weeks" at the call of Cover
nor Dern and possibly at Salt Lake
City. No intimation was given as to
when the present conference would
declare a recess. Both Arizona and
California apparently agreed to fight
it out on the present line of engage
ment even if they had to eat Thanks
giving dinner in Denver.

PLENTY MOISTURE
MOST PARTS STATE

During the past week there were
heavy rains in the Grand Canyon,
Bright Angel, Prescott and Williams
sections, also at Gamerco, New Mex
leo. Light to moderate rains fell in
other sections. AS result ranges are
from good to excellent, and the water
supply is adequate. At Fort Bayard,
N M, plenty of moisture remains IN
the soil and cattle are fat. Pinedale
reports range excellent and cattle fair
to excellent. Generally the days
were quite warm over the state and
in southwestern New Mexico, but the
nights were from moderate to quite
cool, especially in northern Arizona.
The heaviest rainfall occurred at Will
hams where nearly three inches fell;
the next heaviest was at Prescott
During a storm in southern Yavapai
county the temperature dropped from
90 to So degrees in one hour, and the
resultant condensed moisture gave the
weather the appearance of a winter
squall
In the Salt River valley there has
been little agricultural activity, but
cotton is reported satisfactory and
unhurt by the rather cool days of the
past week. In the Yuma irrigated
sections small quantities of cotton are
being picked, but the bolls are open
ing slowly. Some slight shedding is
reported. Alfalfa seed harvest con-
tinues.

Business Gossip
Heard by the
InQuiring Reporter

A Holbrook man dropped in at a
local garage the first of the week with
the news that there are more than 80
cars from states other than Arizona
daily traversing the National Old
Trails, or U. S. Highway No. 66. He
said that the checking station at Hol-
brook reported $3.50 cars intercepted
for the 81 days in July, all west
bound; the Springerville station in
spected 1925 cars, and the Kingman
station, 4,037. BY taking these fig
ures and dividing by 81 days it is seen
that fraction over 80 cars travel
over the National Old Trails east and
west and from the south every day.
A business man who desires to re-
main anonymous says that the sign
board question brought up in this col
umn last week might be answered by
every merchant taking one board and
on it advertise his particular business
and the city of Flagstaff and vicinity.
In this way he would derive direct
benefit besides helping boost the COM
muity. Not bad idea, is it?
A tourist down from Grand Canyon
the other day said that Flagstaff
should be duly proud of Hotel Monte
Vista He-said. people at the Canyon
are recommending tourists to the
hotel because they can stay at the rim
until three or four in the afternoon
and then leave for Flagstaff where
they can find hotel accommodations of
high standard and be in a position to
get away to an early start the follow
ing morning.
