Larrazolo is expected to bring a delegation of about fifty from New Mexico with him, and will probably try to secure the indorsement of the league for his plan to hnve the publie lands in the western states ceded to the state - . governments and taken out of national control, whirh he regards as expensive and, si tending to retard development. It has become known here that there is already a strong movement under way to hold the next meeting of the Jt is believed league at Balt Lake. that this movement will reeeive prac- .

Price GIBBONS Colorado River Control. One ef the big problems before the league is the Colorado river control. Floods of that rivor have done many millions of dollars damage in California, and have resulted in extensive surveys being made by government engineers. The result of these investigations has been to make it plain that Itah holds the kev to the situation. If the Colorado river floods are to be controlled, it can be done best by the construction of reservoirs in Utah. One of the factors in the solution of the problem by the government engineers was a proposal to construct a dam at Ouray which would back up the waters of the Uireen and Duchesne rivers for many miles. Incidentally, it of would blot out the communities Randlett and Ouray, and would also deprive the state of many thousands of acres of the best agricultural lands, without any particular benefit to this state in return, since the benefit would come only to the Imperial valley. Development of these lands has already been retarded by their .withdrawal from ictifi-y by the government. The Utah delegation will present the & ... .$215 STONE, $230 Mahogany. Price SINGER. Walnut.
