COUNTY JUNIOR
COLLEGE PLAN
TO BE DROPPED

AT meeting last evening of the
trustees of the Brawley Union High
school held at Brawley, Earl Y. c.
Northrup, chairman of the farm bu-
reau committee, presented the propo-
sition of a County Junior College.
The other members of the commit
tee, Leo Watts and Q. c. Webster,
were unable to be present.
The school board decided that it
is not in favor of forming county
junior college district due to the
fact that they considered such Il
move uneconomical and unsound re-
gardless of where such an institu-
ton would be located. They stated
that college would cost for operat-
ing 100000 annually, and that they
are well satisfied with the present
method at Brawley of operating the
college in connection with the high
school, and with the results which
have been obtained so far.
Northrup states that as far as the
farm bureau is concerned that the
county Junior college idea will now
have to be abandoned.

Joy seclusion during his honey

The Mouette, believed to be the

weighted anchor and slipped out of

could board the craft.
The double cabin cruiser, pre-
sumably the one which Colonel

fore his marriage in Englewood, N.

lying at anchor about a half mile
down the harbor by coast guards to
day.

PROGRAM
Provides For Division
OF Water Among Lower
Basin States.
GILA Is INCLUDED
CALIFORNIA; Claim For
4,60O,00O Acre Feet Is
Embodied In Plan.

WASHINGTON, June 4. U.nl-
Commissioners from the three lower
basin states of the Colorado river
valley today had before them
c-ncrete proposal for distribution
Ct the water to be impounded by
Bounder dam.
1t was submitted by Colonel Will
liam Donovan, chairman of the con-
ference, and provides for distri-
button of the water in the Colorado
river and all of it's tributaries on
tie following basis; Nevada, S00,-
0v0 acre feet a year; California,
100000 acre feet; and Arizona
2,600,OOO
The Donovan plan provides spe-
officially that the water of all river
tributaries to the Colorado shall be
included in the whole apport- oned
among the states. This would in
clude the ella river which the
Arizona delegation has insisted is
its ewn private property.
The proposed compact also pro-
vides that any water remaining in
the lower basin after the appcrtion-
mont shall be divided equally be-
tween California and Arizonl.
This provision, however, would
lie subordinate to the terms oe the
Colorado river compact and to the
right of two or more lower basin
states to agree between themselves
as to the division of water to which
they consider themselves entitled.
Should the apportionment, by
1880, or later be decreased by ma
turaI causes, the proposal pr,vides
Cor commission of five members
& reconsider reallocating the wat
ers.
This commission would be set up
at the request of any Of the states
signing the original compact. Com.
missioners would be appointed by
the governors and any agreement
tley might reach would be ratified
ny the legislature of each sigma
tory state. rss
