Emerson at th commission held at the State Capi- tol building here Sunday. Emerson was of the opinion, however, that there was an abundance of water in the Colorado basin for all the seven states concerned and that an agree- ment for apportionment safeguarding ‘Wyomtng’s rights eventually could be reached Herbert C. Hoover, secretary of commerce, presided at the hearing. Representatives of localities in the portion of the Colorado River basin im Wyoming, including the Green and tributary valleys, were present and testified regarding conditions in the ‘Wyoming basin and the basin's needs. ‘The state and the Union Pacific Kail- road company also were represented.

There seems to be a sad luck of understanding, however, even of fundamental facts, as they pertain to the upper and lower ba- sins. There is much to digest, but some sort of pact in simple terms will be arrived at for proper division of the waters of the Colorado. The needs of tho situation will drive the states together.” ‘At the conclusion of the hearing the commission and a number of others ‘were guests of Gov. Robert D.
