TORPEDO BOAT DUPONT.
Second Official Trial Over a Sixty
Nile Course.

Newport, r. L, Aug. 1.-THE torpedo
boat Dupont, built by the Herreshof
fir; at Bristol, TO make a speed OF 271h
knets. received Ter second official trial
over 4 sixty nile course in Narragan
sett bay today, during which she made
an average speed of 2s.2S. Although this
exceeds her contract requirements, it
is not quite up to the. trial speed of the
Porter a sister ship, nor is it as high
as that made by the Dupont on pre-
vious trial. This is the third ATTEMPT
Of the boat to make her trial. The first
time she broke down while going at
tremendous speed. The second time.
one week ago today. after speeding over
the course for about sc miles. her
vacuum dropped, making a continuance
inadvisable. Today, there was again a
lack of vacuum, but despite this hind
rance the boat made great speed. This
trouble with the vacuum is purely a
local one, and VIII be obviated after
she goes into commission. The Porter
and Dupont have. under favorable cir
oumstances, exceeded their contract
speed by more than a knot. The Du
pont, while trimmed slightly different
from the Porter. had no more weight.
and ran with the same absence of vi
braticn, and her engines were in per-
feet form. The Herreshoffs have noti-
fed the government that the boat will
be ready TO be turned over to the navy
department in a few days.

Denver. Colo, Aug. 11.-Utah is in
terested to a vast extent in one of the
most gigantic irrigation projects of the
age.
Colonel Balloon of New York. who
is pushing the plans. is in the city to
see Secretary of Agriculture Wilson in
reference TO the enterprise, as well as
some of the highest state officials and
moneved men.
Colonel Balcom's scheme has been in
corporated under the title of the Pla-
teau Grand Canal company. Governor
Adams has become interested in the
project. The latter has letters from
Congressman John C. Bell, State SEN
ator Cannon of Grand Junction and
Representative James w. Bucklin. who
are interested in the canal
Colonel Balloon arrived from Grand
Junction this morning, where he has
been investigating the ground TO be
covered by the system. The project is
now in such a stage that work will
shortly begin. The promoter has in
his pockets now contracts covering
10000 acres.
Colonel Balloon goes to Utah shortly
to offer concessions to the state gov
eminent for the privilege of irrigating
Grand county. The canal will start at
the head of Platte creek. above Grand
Junction, following the Grand river.
and then branch off 10 the west. run
ming through a practically arid sec
ton
TwO-MILE TUNNEL
The first six miles of the canal win
irrigate $4,000 acres in Colorado alone
and 100000 in Utah, provided the Utah
state government consents 10 build a
two-mile tunnel, through which the
waters will be conveyed.
'The water" said Colonel Balcom,
will be drawn from the Grand river,
which you can quote me as saying
contains more water than all the rivers
combined on the western slope of the
mountains The canal will be literally
a stream for branches and lateraIs.
The amount of good water that would
disseminate on the practically unculti-
waited lands of the western portion Of
Mesa county. Colorado. and the eastern
portion of Grand county, Utah, will be
inestimable."
Colonel Balcom has received assur-
ances that the state of Utah will con-
slider the project favorably.
II shall meet several prominent men
and railroad officials in Denver said
the colonel, but can scarcely give
their names for publication. The as
surances I have received, with con-
tracts, and the recently acquired inter
est of New York capitalists have made
me confident that all obstacles win be
removed and work begun shortly
The promoter of the Plateau Grand
Canal company is well known in Den

spect in the money circles of the me-
tropolis.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson left
this morning for Fort Collins with c. F.
Sayler of Des Moines, special agent of
the department Of agriculture, whose
duty is to take charge of the beet
sugar Investigations. After a day or
so spent studying agricultural posi-
bilities the secretary will return 20
