MATCH RACES TO
FEATURE LAST
DAY OF CO. FAIR
Contests Expected to Dc

ing Horses.

A program Of match races on the
Douglas track this afternoon will
be the feature of the closing day
of the seventh annual Cochise Coun-
ty fair, the most successful fair,
from every point of view, ever held
in Douglas.
Beginning at 10 a. M, when the
gates are opened, there will be
something doing every minute on
the fair grounds beginning with a
concert by the Douglas Boy Scout
band and. closing with an open air
dance, with music by the Douglas
high school orchestra. which viii
begin at p. M, and continue so
long as dancers remain.
The program of match races, to
begin at 1870 p M, was being ar
ranged last night by L. A. Mobley,
chairman of cowboy sports, who reg
istered an unprecedented success with
his three-day program which con-
cluded yesterday. !.
It is expected there will be about
six match races, the outstanding
one is to be between Frank Eaton's
sorrel horse and Tuck Potter's pink
mare. These two animals were the
center of much discussion and argu-
mel1t during the formal racing pro-
gram yesterday. So similar was their
speedy performance that bets were
made and near-fights begun as to
which was the fastest animal Chair
man Mobley proposes to settle the
question today along with several
other arguments.
The various exhibition buildings
on the fairgrounds will be open
throughout the day, although it is
expected that a considerable number
OF the visiting exhibitors will start
removing their displays and return
ing to their homes in the various
parts of Cochise county.

Property Loss Expected to
Exceed $1O,OOO,OOO Suf-

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 80, tFWork Of
relief and rehabilitation was well un-
der way tonight when darkness set
tied over the six square mile area
devastated yesterday when four
minute tornado killed 81 persons, in
jured more than 500 and damaged
or destroyed 5000 homes and busi-
ness buildings
The property loss, according to the
best estimates Of experts WHO spent
the day in the stricken area was
expected to exceed the $l0OO0000
record of the tornado of 1896 when
.l40 persons we're killed in an area
of ten square miles.
Only one body, that Of woman,
remained unidentified tonight, Twen-
ty persons had been reported miss
ing, however.
A single inquest to cover the
deaths of all st. Louis victims was
set for tomorrow morning with the
coroner's jury expected to hOu
quirk of the elements.
No plans had been made tonight
for joint funerals, and since the
death list was made up of men, wo-
men and children in comparatively
widely separated areas with no in
innate contacts, it was believed each
bereaved family would take care of
its dead in individual ceremonies
with tomorrow and Sunday a day
of funerals and burials.
Excepting for the constant con-
verSations everywhere about the slow
ly mounting death list, downtown
st. Louis today virtually was with
out reminder Of the death and
desolatior1 within three miles of the
business district. Employees ranks in
many concerns were thinned as men
renamed at home to dig in the
debris for possessions or to make
hasty repairs to roofs, doors and
windows against the forecast of rain.
Otherwise business went slong vir-
tually as usual
The situation seemed far different
from that of a smaller community
struck by tornado with resultant
similar loss of life, when Murphys-
boro, Ill, was devastated two and
one half years ago the entire COM
r1unity of $4,000 souls was numbed
for days. In the immense area of
st. Louis the havoc of the four min
uteS of fury seemed to have been
lost excepting in the regions inn
mediately affected.
The devastated region, however,
was a scene Of horror and the same
time of Intense activity today. Traf-

From p M. until after 5 the

PolUer Agreement IS
Sighted by Parties
To River Cont erence

DENVER, Sept. 3Os (49-Ground was
broken today for what probably will
be a solution Of the hydro electric
power problem after three weeks of
negotiations at the Colorado river con-
ference, United States Senator Key
Pittman of Nevada announced tonight
following meeting Of several hours
participated in by representatives Of
Nevada, California and Arizona.
Starting on the foundation work of
the general principles laid down in
1.-THE states rights resolution introduced
early in the proceedings by the Nevada
delegation, the three lower basin
states are more than hopeful that a
tri-state compact will be consummat-
ed shortly. Pittman said The pact
will include agreements on both the
disposition of power benefits from a
dam on the Colorado river and the
distribution among the three states of
the 100000 acre feet of water allocat-
ed to the basin.
The announcement was considered
significant in light of the consistent
opposition to the states rights resolu-
ton by California. While the con-
ferees themselves refused to state the
extent to which the conversations had
progressed, one report said that Cali
fornia had evinced willingness to
accept as its share one-third of the
power benefits, conditioned on an
equitable agreement on water division.
Pittsman did not take part in the
,afternoon discussions, but he, United
States Senator Carl Hayden of Ari-
zona, and W. B. Mathews of Califor-
MIA, had arranged for the executive
session after several days of negotia-
tions between Arizona and Nevada on
the power issue.
"1f tri-state pact is consummated, .
Pittman predicted, congress probably
will accept it. Nevada, as instigator Of
i.the power plan under discussion,
sought to draw the conversation away
from arbitrary proposals and written
propositions and to base the talk on
what was equitable among the three
states.
''"The first question in equity con-
! sidered was whether a state is entitled
ito some compensation when the Unit
ed States government used its dam
sites, lands and waters to construct a
dam for flood control, irrigation, stor-
age and hydro-electric power. If the
government allowed private corpora
ton to use their resources, the state
could obtain revenue, if only through
Taxation Nevada never has contend
ed for anything else than this amount
lof revenue.
"The second question is whether 2
state, in producing power, should
share with state using the power the
| profits derived"
! The announcement came close or
the heels of an assertion by Earl G
Pound of California that his state
could not subscribe to the doctrine
that two states can divide the power
benefits between them when dam is
constructed on stream forming theil
boundary line. Pound participated il
the meeting this afternoon.
