Two States in Litigation Over Power Projec WASHINGTON, April 28. — Two states and a city are involved in water power controversy before the federal power commission, it was learned today. The question involved is the establishment of a dam and power plant on the Colorado fiver at the head of the Imperial Valley. The states Nevada, and Arizona, and the municipality of Los Angeles have made applications for the power to be derived from the project, it was said. Under present rules, municipalities are said usually to be given the prefer- ence in the matter of power develop- ment requests and for this reason, Los Angeles would appear to. have the advantage, but there have been inti- mations that the two states may ask for an amendment of the rules. The commission has not taken the matter Under advisement yet. The proposed dam will serve a two- fold purpose, it has been claimed, for in addition to developing a large amount of pownr ic will serve to safe- “guard the fruitful Imperial Valley against the the’ danger” of :£to of floods, POISON SPIDER SALE ORDERED Sale of government oil leases on lands in the Poison Spider field will proceed as originally advertised, it Was announced today from the land office, the order of suspension issued last week having been revoked, The Jand department was influenced in its decision to revoke the order, it id understood, by Patrick Sullivan and W.
