DONOVAN SAYS
CONFERENCE IS
BEARING FRUIT
Gets States To Submit
Claims On Colorado
Water In Writing.

RENO, Nev., Jan. 25. U.P)-The
conference Of states seeking an ami
cable agreement on division of wat
er and power from the Boulder dam
project neared the end of its first
week today in ga state of flux."
The definition on the present
status of the meeting was furnished
by William j. Donovan, who has
worked as mediator and representa-.
tive of DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur, sec.
rotary of interior.
Donovan had succeeded in getting
each of the three states interested
i'll water distribution to set forth
claims in writing.
He was keeping the delegations
of California, Arizona and Nevada
apart until he was certain they had
reached a common ground" to work
On in a general session.
Prominent for his many activities
in public life, Donovan was hurry
ing from one delegation to another,
summing up their written declara-
tions and attempting to aid them to
reach a mutual understanding.
He said the question of water dis
tribution had evolved into three
specific objectives-to figure out
how much water there is, upon what
terms it can be divided and what
will be the result when the division
is made.
Donovan said they had all agreed
that the crux of the entire plan is
water, and they must all keep
steadily at work until this is set
tied. Meanwhile, official observers
from Colorado, New Mexico, Utah
and Wyoming showed no interest in
water problems, reserving their
energies for discussion on power dis
tribution.
Donovan was asked if progress in
the past "a hours had been more
noticeable than before.
81 find there is spirit of earn
estness to arrive at a compact" he
replied. eve may encounter an I'M
surmountable obstacle and the solu-
ton might be right at hand"
The conference has not even ar
rived at a discussion of actual quo
tas on distribution of water vet, it
was learned, being entirely concern.
