Rebuilding the Great Reservoir at
Eddy-An Interview with Hon.
Chas. B. Eddy.

General Manager Chas. B. Eddy, ac
companied by W. A. Hawkins, general at
torney for the Pecos Irrigation and I'M
provement company. returned to Eddy
on Thursday last after an absence of sew
eral days at Colorado Springs. They had
been called to Colorado by President
Hagerman to furnish information and
consult about plans for repairing the
damage done to dams and fumes by the
recent flood, and methods of insuring
safety in the future.
In an interview with the Argus, Mr..
Eddy said:
II am now fully prepared and ready to
let contracts and expect and hope to have
them all made and signed in three days
SO that active work may be in progress
within week. There will be no let-up-
no hardness in any line of the recon
struction. 1t is to be done as rapidly
rs men can do it, as Mr.. Hager-
man assured us by wire from New York
as soon as he learned of the flood. At
reference to losses nor cost of repairing
but he intended that it should be done,
no matter what the cost. When / was
able to lay the details before him and the
board of directors they found the 'esti-
mated expenses would be less than was
feared, and directed that operations should
be commenced at once and carried out
effectively and promptly. The directors
were pleased that there was no loss of life
by the flood and only slight, almost in
significant damage to individual prop
erty.
"There is to be no cessation of work on
the big Seven Rivers reservoir Some
additional spillway will be made there.
days. But am now talking only of the
repairs. The dam six miles above town
will be heightened little and the pres
ent discharge capacity of spillways in
creased from $4,000 cubic feet to 10S,000,
which immense outlet will be far in. ex-
cess of the needs of flood even like the
last. The work can be completed i'll four
months. The expense of replacing this
dam, increasing spillways, repairing the
tiume and breaks in the canals will APP
proximate $125,O00, and we shall have to
pay out for this work from $25,000 to
$4,000 monthly for few months. in
the above estimate the Seven Rivers dam
is not taken into consideration, nor re-
pairs to the railroad or Hagerman power
dam, which of course Mr.. Hagerman will
attend to, for his opinions, intentions
and expectations in regard to the Pecos
valley, are not-in the least changed. At
any other time than one of such financial
stringency he would not consider this loss
and delay serious and even now will not
permit il to affect plans for steady pro-
gress and rapid development"
By reference to another column ii will
be seen that today's advices announce
the letting of contracts above referred to.

A Trick with Figures.

Ask a friend TO put down four figures,
which you are not supposed to see. Let
him add these up and subtract the sum
from the original figures. Then let him
strike out any figure in the result and
tell you the sum Of the remaining fig
ures. You can instantly tell him what
figure he struck out. The modus oper-
and is easy and depends on the esoteric
qualities Of 0. He puts down, say, 1928.
Add up these fgures-21, which sub
tract and get 7,407. Cross out, say, q.

subtract II from the next highest null
tiple Of ?, which is Is. and you get Z.
