SANTA tE, reD' 10, NT
There was disposition how
over, upon the part of other
states to treat with Arizona IN
exeinpting flow so far as the
bill is concerned.
The whole matter was open
but Arizona made a move 10
exempt the return flow OF the
ella, amounting to several
hundred thousand acre feet.
Chairman G. T. Ward Of Ar1-
zOna suggested it was to Cali
fOrnia's benefit as well as Ar1-
zOna's to exempt the return
flow of the ella as he foreSaw
a great loss of water to both
these states.
While no action was TAKEN
it is the sentiment Of the con-
ference that Mexico will not
be allowed any water from
the proposed All-American can
al.
John L. BasOn Of the Cali
fornia commission declared
that since 1926 Mexico had fill
ed on the waters of the Col
oradO below the international
boundary for two projects IN
yOIving three hundred fHty
thousand acre feet Of water.
The view was taken by Ari-
zona representatives that the
water of the Gila river should
be exempt from any consider
alton in the attempt to divide
the waters Of the Colorado riv-
er among the lower basin
states of California, Nevada
and Arizona. This exemption
however would apply only In
case Mexico should make a
demand for. waters Of the
Colorado.
This position was opposed by
REPRESENTATIVES, Of the upper
basin states who insisted that
the ella should be included In
water appOrti0nmene the same
as the waters Of other trib-
utaries Of the Colorado River.

Edison never was listed among the
richest men of the country. His
whole career was devoted to inyen-
ton, and once a device was complete
he lost interest in 1t. It has been es-
timated that the industries which
have grown out Of his inventions are
worth at least $40. 1000, 100000; his own
personal fortune has been estimated
to run over a million, but not to any
height comparable to those Of Ford
