to have the greatest reservoir at

presidential candidate declared he
was "hopeful that the project will
receive favorable action from the

"I never come to California
without wondering over its extra
ordinary development," he said.
"This city represents one of the
most remarkable human migra
tions in history. Upwards of two
million of people who have poured
into southern California have
huilded one of the first rank of
American cities. Nor is its growth
over. There is but one limitation
which looms upon the horizon of
the future, and that Is adequate
water supply.
"That can and must be assured
from the Colorado river in ample
time to meet your expanding
needs. I scarcely need repent my
support to that development which
!l have ho often given during the
' In seven years. We want the
greatest reservoir at Boulder can
yon that the engineers will recom
mend, and h am hopeful that the
project will receive favorable
action from the present congress.
"I. feel deeply that California
should meet In every reasonable
way the needs and views of the
other states In the basin In the
final formulation of that legisla
tion.' The future welfare of all
states touching the river is forever
interdependent and it can be pro
moted only by a sense of common
interest nnd Justice to all sides.
"The Colorado river basin is
one of our richest national assets.
The full development of its land
nnd water power will In years to
come he the scene of hundreds of

ATLANTA, On., Aug. 17. (A)
Four southeastern states counted
la dead nnd great property dam
age in the wako of storms nnd
floods today.
In the wake of receding waters
railroads, telegraph and telephone
companies were struggling against
heavy odds to restore communica
tion lines which were broken by
raging waters in Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina and
(Jeorgia.
I'roperty owners in those states
contemplated thousands , of acres
of wrecked farm landT destroyed
and damaged homes and buildings
as well as unestimated bridge and
highway damage which cannot be
restored for months.
Wlille showers were forecast for
the affected states today, the
drenching rains and storm winds
of the last fow days apparently
had subsided.
Probably the greatest menace
obtained along the Ilroad river in
South Carolina, which Is the
drainage channel for the western
edge of North Carolina as well,
where a Lockhart Power company
dam had already burst near l inon,
S. C.
'i no structure, 1000 feet long
and IS feet high, cracked ut mid-,
night, threatening, ay a result the
Broad River valley dams to Co
lumbia. Wlille officials said there
was no danger to residents in the
valley, some f0 families were de
clared by an officer at Union, H,

crest with all gates open. Jjarly
today tile crack In the long Lock
hart struct uro was believed to be
small with enough vent to relieve
the pressure and prevent collapse.
All the dams, as are the most of
the Piedmont country's power
dams, are i-onerote.
Dams Stand Tests
Some 4u miles to the west the
para He! tng Saluda river, with Its
siring of power dams, was de
clared to be falling as a result of
loosened flood gates at Ware
Shoals and other points.
Further up the Uroad in North
Carolina, danger apparently had
subsided, reports Indicating that
Luke Lure dam near Ashevlllu had
withstood the seige of flood
waters. Many small dams in thm
area, as well as in other areas of
North and South Carolina col
lapsed without serlv.UH damage to
the countryside during tho height
of the flood.
In North Carolina the two great
system of power dams on Catawba
river, built after tho disastrous
floods of in that stale, were
receiving their first reiil test, and
apparently holding safely the 4&
billion cubic feet nf water Im
pounded along the C a t a w h a
course.
