The headwaters of the Colorado river, as the map shows, are in Wyoming just south of Yellowstone National park, and In northwestern Colorado.

It is nearly 2,000 miles In length and more than a score of rivers contribute their wa. ters. It Irrigates and annually menaces with floods the Imperial and Palo Verde valleys in California and the Yuma valley in Arizona. Its basin total 242,000 square miles of American territory. It is no exaggeration to say that the original contentions of the seven states were so far apart that an agreement seemed hopeless. But Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, appointed by President Ilardlng as the representative of the United States, was there ns chairman of the commission. Enough said!
