United States
And Mexico to
Divide Waters
Colorado River, Two Others
Will be Studied in Inter-
national Farley at Wash
ington, D. c.
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD

WASHINGTON, Oct. %, UP
Commissioners of the United States
and Mexico will seat themselves
around council table here today
to divide the waters of three great
international rivers.
These highly-prized streams-the
Rio Grande, Tia Juana and Colo
rado-represent food and clothing
as well as drink for millions of
Americans and Mexicans living on
the irrigated land along their bord-
erS. Division of these waters has
posed an international problem
whose solution was sought unsuc-
ceSsfully at a three-week session in
Mexico City last August.
Today these commissioners settle
down here to renew their labors. If
they agree on compact, it will be
submitted TO the State Departments
of each nation to be translated into
a treaty.
Six Commissioners
Three members, all engineers,
represent each nation Their task
is TO effect an equitable distribution
of water for irrigation and to agree
on measures for flood control in the
lower delta of the Colorado. Al
though this danger will be miti-
gated by Boulder Dam, engineers
/ believe, they also are convinced
Mexican outlet channel must be
dredged.
The problem raised by the Colo
RADIO River has as one of its angles
the pending construction OF Boul-
der Dam, which will change con-
ditionS on the lower river in Mexico.
MeXico'S claims to Colorado water
are relatively small as 242,O00 square
miles of the rivers 244,000 square
mile watershed lies in the United
States. Mexico, according to the
Interior Department, contributes
nothing to the streams waters, but
approximately 100 miles of the river
channel are in the southern re-
public
Flood Control Problem
This lower channel flows through
a delta built up through the ages by
silt deposits. Before irrigation be-
gan, the river in flood wandered all
over the delta without any definite
channel,
Imperial valley irrigation projects
necessitated keeping the river with
in bounds. LeveeS for this purpose
were erected. A tendency of the
river to raise its channel by silt ac-
cumulations has required constant
heightening of the levees. Engi-
neerS decided some more SatiSfac-
tory means of controlling the Colo
RADIO must be found. That is one
major reason for building Boulder
Dam. This project will create a res
ervoir sufficient to store one entire
years flow, according to the Interior
Department.
Control Of floods until the time
when Boulder Dam is completed is
one of the problems the commission
will try to solve. 1t will discuss also
the construction of an outlet chan
mel to the Gulf for whatever surplus
waters flow down beyond the United
States boundary after Boulder Dam
is completed

Wilbur S Assistant
Visits River Now
Ebert K. BurIeW, Asst. To
Secretary of Interior, and
Party inspecting Boulder
Dam Site Today.

Ebert K. Burley, administra-
tive assistant to the Secretary OF
the Interior, accompanied by E.
T. Scoyen, superintendent of Zion
National Park, his wife and son,
and c. e. Faris, supervisor of in
dustries Of the Indian service, De-
partment of the Interior, arrived
here by automobile yesterday.
They are today inspecting the
Boulder Dam site, being accompan-
led on the trip by James eastman
Dr. Roy w Martin, Ed w Clark
and c. P. SquireS.
The visit is without any special
signification, except that Secretary
Wilbur desires all those who will
have some official contact with
Boulder Dam problems to be fam
iliar with the site of the project.
1Ir. Burlew in addition to his
many other duties, has charge Of
the Interior Department budget.
and through him the request for
an appropriation for beginning the
work On Boulder Dam will be pre-
sented to Congress.
The first major appropriation
item fer Boulder Dam will be in
cluded in the general appropriation
bill, preparation of which will be
begun with the assembling of the
regular session CT congress, early in
December This regular appropria-
ton bill generally is not passed un-
til shortly before the close of the
session March 4.
But Mr.. BurleW believes that
there is good reason to expect
Congress to make q preliminary
appropriation as an emergency
measure to permit the beginning of
work on the Boulder Dam pro-
ject. This emergency appropria-
ton will be justified whenever
contracts for the repayment to
the governmenet are completed.
It will be the policy of the In
rerior Department, according to
Secretary of the Interior Wilbur
to ask for a preliminary or emer-
gency appropriation by Congress,
for the purpose of building the
highway. the city and other neces-
Sary work preliminary to the pro-
ject at the earliest possible date

inadvertent slip of the tongue by a
defense witness in the trial of Alex
ander Pantages disclosed that the

which his statutory trial centered is
known as the mystery room by
Pantages' employees.
The witness, Mrs. Catherine

tempted to soften the startling
statement by saying she heard it
called both mystery room and con-
ference room"
The little room is the one in
which the theatrical magnate is al
legged to have attacked Eunice
Pringle. The new term for the
room to which only Pantages held
a key was seized avidly by the pros
ecution.
Defense attorneys protested the
questions regarding the new cogno-
men, but the prosecution countered
with the statement that the de-
fense's own witness used the term.
