Cooper muhicipal officials
were working toward a definite
deadline Sunday and prayerfully
hoping for rain to ease their crit-
ical water worries.
The remaining water in the!
Delta Country Club lake, which
was tapped about four weeks
ago after the city lake went dry,
i -. estimated only sufficient to
supply Cooper until Thursday,!
■Sept. 13.
Meanwhile, the .e’ty officials]
have been wor king feverishly in <
an effort to find underground
water by sinking various test
wells in the south part of Delta:
County.
Most promising test well so |
far' was in South Sulphur Rivet" j
bottom near the Peerless cross-
ing. Eighty - two feet of water
producing sand was cored in the
test.
Other tests have been made in |
an effort to find the same stra-
ta on sand or higher land, but,
to no avail. The Peerless test
was in art area which might be
endangered with high water in
South Sulphur Rivet.
Seven test wells have been
drilled, hut only the one near
the Peerless crossing has shown
prt*ini.se.
The "Cooper officials were told
by consulting engineers that the.
Peerless crossing test indicates
that a well at this point would
produce enough water Jo Supply

[ Waahinjrton, Sept. 8 fAP)
—Washington d i p i o mats
say the Cairo talks on the
(Suez Canal have failed
without hope of compro-
mise. And they add a meet-
ing of the 6-nation mission with
Egyptian President Nasser tomor-
row will be only in the nature of
a farewell, with one purpose to
show Nasser a copy of the rain-

] suggcstjyr.ii.
The mission’s aim was to"settle
j the crisis arising from Egypt’s
seizure of the canal. Eighteen na-
tions suggested a plan for Inter-
national operation of the canal.
The Washington report seems
to clear up earlier confusion over
i whether the Cairo talks had rc-
I vived suddenly because of some
1 secret development. It was said in
Washington that American auth-
orities are unaware of such a de-
velopment.
The U. S. authorities disclose
that the United States is explor-
ing the possibility of giving the
IJ. N. Security Council the Suez
dispute for possible action. Brit-
ain” is sniil to favor the move.
II. S. offic ials arc reported also as
believing there is only a slim
chance that Britain and France
will report io force in the Suez
