Colorado River Conference To Be
Held By Seven States in August

A conference of the governors and
leading citizens of the seven states
comprising the Colorado river basin
will be called to meet in either Salt
Lake City or Denver early in August
to iron out the complications which
have arisen as a result of the Colorado
river compact. Decision to call the
conference was reached at confer
ence at Denver Saturday between
Governor Adams, United States Sen
ator Charles w. Waterman of Colo
rado, DELPHI Carpenter, river commits
sioner for Colorado, and members of
the Arizona state Colorado river COM
mission.
The call for the conference will be
New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming and
Colorado, the upper basin states, and
will be addressed to the governors of
Arizona, California and Nevada, the
lower basin states.
At the conference no attempt will
be made to change the present Colo
RADIO river compact between the seven
states and the United States for the
ALLEGATION and distribution of the wa
ters of the Colorado. Instead an at
tempt will be made to interpret some
of the sections of the compact which
have been the subject of comment,
discussion and controversy, especially
between the lower basin states.
1t is believed by the governors of
the upper basin states, as well as by
the Arizona river commission, that a
thorough discussion of the parts of
the compact will serve to iron out
complications in the compact.
At the same time tri-state COM
pact, as between Arizona, California
and Nevada to make for clarity and
to eliminate any and all disputes now
existing between these states, will be
presented under the present plans and
thus protect the interests of all of the
states and at the same time make the
seven state compact effective. After
the conference, Carpenter declared:
1t is the belief of Governor Adams
that the four states of the upper basin
should unite to oppose any dam, pow
er or other construction works, by
any one, irrespective of public or pri-
vate interests, at any point on the
lower Colorado river until the seven
state compact has been ratified and
made effective Unless this action is
taken, the upper basin states are not
safe and can not be protected in their
rights to the water of the Colorado
river"
Acceptance of this stand by the up
per basin states probably would re-
suit in a determined opposition dur
ing the next session of congress to
the proposal for erection of Boulder
Canyon or any other dam along the
lower waters Of the Colorado river,
according to Carpenter.

Surrey In Colorado
Basin Is Finished

Advices have been received by State
Water Commissioner Frank p Trott
at Phoenix of completion by the
United States geological survey of en-
gineering work in the Colorado river
basin, in Arizona, toward which the
legislature made appropriation of $780,
600. This appropriation was in lieu
of one of 100000 demanded by Gov
ernor Hunt and proposed to be spent
under his direction. While there was
denial that it was intended particular
ly to demonstrate features of the high
line canal scheme, the governmental
work has covered some part Of the
area proposed to be penetrated by the
canal and its tunnels, extending as
far northward as the Bridge canyon
dam site, survey of nighttime dam
site on Williams river and extensions
Of lines from Yucca to Alamo and
Wenden, Hassayampa and Gila Bend,
which was the first theoretical route
of the first nighttime canal.

FOURTH EXTRA SESSION
LOOMS AS POSSIBILITY


The possibility Of fourth special
session of the eighth state legislature
to finance the state highway depart
ment looms with the approach of the
statewide meeting to be held at the
Phoenix Chamber of Commerce Mon
day. The meeting has been called by
the Phoenix chamber for the purpose
Of discussing the situation relative to
the closing Of the famous Apache Trail
by the flood waters of the Horse
Mesa dam.
Approximately two miles Of the
new highway to replace the flooded
seven miles of the trail, yet remain to
be built The work on the new road
was stopped by the state highway de-
partment because of the lack of funds
to complete it. Several weeks ago, a
plan was under way to borrow the
funds to build the remaining two miles
of the new road, and to repay the
amount from the rs per cent funds of
Maricopa county. The plan was held
up when litigation was started rela-
tive to the act providing for a gaso-
line tax and other levies for highway
purposes.
Governor Hunt arrived at the cap
itol last Monday afternoon after an
absence of more than a week from his
office to attend meeting of the Colo
rado river commission of Arizona and
officials of Utah held at Salt Lake
City The governor refused to make
any statement relative to the matter
for the reason that he had not read
the ruling of the supreme court in the
gasoline tax case.
State officials are divided as to
whether a special session will be
called. Officials closely connected
with the administration, however, adj
nit that the possibility Of a special is
not remote.
Officials OF. several of the civic
clubs in the state have stated that if
the Apache Trail is to be closed in
definitely the loss in tourist trade as
well as the adverse publicity incident
to the closing of the trail will be tre-
mendous and that it cannot be re-
gained this year 1t is to avert such
d possibility that the chamber of COM
merce at Phoenix has called the meet
ing for Monday.
Officials of the Southern Pacific
railroad, which nationally sponsors the
trail as one of Arizona's finest scenic
attractions, will attend the meeting
as will officials of the Salt River Val
ley Water Users association and civic
delegation from Globe, Miami and
Superior.
1t is generally expected that some
plan of financing the building of the
two remaining miles of road on the
new replacement highway above the
waters Of the lake will be evolved. 1t
is estimated by w. G. Lefebvre, state
engineer, that it will require about
100000 to build the two miles. The
work can be done in 30 days, he states,
by working double shifts, or in about
so days >sith a single shift.

Game On Kaibab

Arizona scored a victory Monday
when decree was handed down in the
Kaibab forest deer controversy by the
United States district court enioining
the federal government from issuing
licenses to hunters in violation of the
state game laws.
The decree, which was made public
by Judge Fred G. Jacobs, and which
was rendered on Friday in the court
of appeals, in California, settles the
rights of both the state and federal
government in regard to the preserva-
tion Of the deer in the Kaibab forest
ard the Grand Canyon game pre-
serves.
The case came up for hearing more
than year ago. It was brought be-
fore three judges approximately six
months ago, and again given a hear
ing last month. The decree of Friday
following the former opinion makes
the decision final, unless an appeal Is
taken.
The case grew out of an alleged at
tempt on the part Of the federal gov
ernment to authorize the killing eff
Of the deer by hunters in excess of
the limit provided by the state game
laws, and out of the season.
In the decree the federal govern
ment is authorized to kill the deer in
the forest whensit becomes necessary
to protect its rights, but is enjoined
from issuing licenses to hunters.

Union Pacific Stage
Line To Canyon

New York. k.-The Union Pacific
Railroad company has been granted
concession in the Grand Canyon ma
tional park lying within the canyon
itself and viii develop it into pas
senger travel center, operating SO au-
tomobile busses and carrying the rail-
roads operation into Arizona for the
first time.
The company plans to duplicate its
tourist developments of Bryce Canyon
and Zion national park to which it
carries thousands of tourists annually.
It viii build central pavilion sur
rounded by 100 cottages. Busses will
carry tourists between Cedar City,
Utah and the park.
This gives the Union Pacific three
centers in one of the most interesting
and picturesque parts of the Grand
Canyon Of the Colorado river. The
three resorts will be connected by mo-
tor bus routes and should attract
much passenger business, as the two
developed resorts already are doing.

TOnal Beauty Wins in Curtain

Before Mt. Tamalpais
School Authorities

The purpose of several music re-
producing instruments recently came
up for consideration at the Mt

The authorities fully realized the
Importance of their discussion on the
schools work in musical instruction,
for the excellence of which MT.
Tamalpais enjoyed widespread
reputation.
The Board determined that neither
personal preference nor hearsay evil
dence should influence their choice.
Recognizing the power of wellknown
names frequently to color an individ-
uaPs judgment, they resolved to
make a test Of instruments which
should be nameless to the hearersl
Various Makers Compete
i Accordingly, makers of the fore
most musicsproducing instruments
were invited to send samples Of their
products to the school for a COM
parative test. The various instru-
ments were assembled, concealed COM
pletely behind curtains, and identified
to the hearers only by number.
This arrangement guaranteed a
choice which was entirely impartial,
the decision being made solely on
the evidence which reached the
hearers ears.
The decision was not based on one
comparison, but sevenl After seven
complete comparisons Of the entire
sgrOup, the unanimous opinion was in
favor Of Instrument Number Five, as
giving the most perfect tonal repro.
duction, while second choice favored
Instrument Number Two. The results
are Of interest to every music lover
EdisOnic Unanimous Winner!
Instrument Number Five proved
to be the new Edisonic playing Edi

ed the five year average weight, ac-
cording to the sixth annual Montana
Farm Review now being prepared by
Richard G. Ross, assistant agricultural
statician.
Figures show the average weight
of spring wheat this year at 59.4
pounds to the .bushel: Last year the
weight was 58.5 pounds. In 1925

PROSPECTS FOR NEW

Interest is waxing keen over oil
prospects in the Oregon Basin Oil
field. and at the present time it
looks as though the oCdy Petro-
leum Company would bring in a
"greeser" if not by the first of the

is now down. about 5000 feet, ac-
cording to the best advice obtain
able from the Basin, and it is
said that a slight break in the Red
Bed formation sent up showing of
oil and gas.
This is the deepest well to be
drilled in the Oregon Basin with
the exception of the Ohio's discov-
cry well, end located as it is, more
than a half mile west and several
hundred yards south of the Ohio
well, a big producer would mean
much to the oil interests there.

BULLET THROUGH HAND
MAY PROVE SERIOUS

Frank Anderson is in the Pow
ell hospital having one of his hands
cared for, as the result of a shoot
ing affray which took place at the
Freeman sawmill camp on Christ
mas day. The bullet from a large
calibre rifle went through Ander-
sons hand, and 1t is very possible
that the entire member will have
to be amputated.
Tex Olson was the other party
to the controversy. and in view
of the fact that no arrests have
been made 1t seems evident that
Anderson must have been to a
great extent to blame for the ac-
cident.
