J. v. WILSON HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
Wilson, of the West End
Chemical Company and
Capt. Lockhart Adrift for
49 Hours without Food or
Water in Turbulent Mexi-
can Waters.

]. w. Wilson, local manager of
the West End Chemical Company,
and Captain Lockhart returned
Tuesday evening from an event
full and thrilling trip to the west
Coast of Old Mexico.
Wilson and Lockhart were in
the section of Mexico that was
recently visited by terrific storms
that caused great loss of life. and
property.
The two mining men had char
tered a small power boat to carry
them along the coast so that they
might inspect some properties that
were not readily accessible by land
routes. The captain and two men
comprised the crew OF the boat
which was a considerable distance
from land when the motor of the
small craft broke down. The
party had not expected to be gone
for more than a few hours and
no water or provisions were car
ried.
Soon after the failure of the en-
gine, a storm broke loose and the
boat was tossed about so that it
was impossible to make any head
way with the oars. During the
struggle one oar was lost and the
party was carried out to sea.
The storm kept up it's fury all
that day and until late into the
night. The next morning the
weather had settled and further
attempts to repair the engine
were made but proved fruitless.
The remaining oar and the can
vas from Wilson's bedroll were
rugged up as a sail and undoubt
eddy saved the lives of all on
board. After being out for forty
eight hours they landed on a lone-
some spot on the coast and one
of the crew was sent to a small
town several miles away for food
and water.
Mr.. Wilson is happy to be back
on a first class desert where there
are no oceans.

MAKES ADVANCE
Conditional Acceptance by
Arizona indicates Agree
ment Much Ncaror. Mu-
tuaI Concession Hoped For

DENVER, Sept. 23-Arizona's
committee male a reply to the
proposal of the upper basin states
governors late yesterday afternoon
accepting the ALLEGATION of water
in paragraph one but refused to
accept paragraphs TWO and three
with reference to the tributary
water.
The proposed ALLEGATION gives
Nevada 100000 acre feet, Arizona
100000 ccra fec. ard California
1900, 900 acre feet a year.
The conference feels that Ari-
zona's conditional acceptance is
an advance toward an agreement
although California so far has re-
fused to compromise 1t is hoped
that mutual concession may yet
lead to an agreement ON the water
question.
The committee to which the
states resolution was referred re-
ported this morning California
objects to consideration at this
time and for a while the confer
ence seemed on the verge of
DI Gaming up. Inc NeN dud COHh-
missioners took the stand that the
water division should be pushed to
completion before the power ques-
tion is considered.
The conference at the afternoon
session voted to postpone any ac-
tion on the states rights resolution
with the understanding that it be
voted on before the conference
closes.
The governors of the upper
states will nave further sugges-
tions on the replies of Arizona
ard California to the water pro-
posals this Saturday morning.
They also intend to hear the states
proposals on the power question.
