TWIN LAKES DAM
Is DECLARED SAFE

Pueblo, Colo, June 12.-Half the su-
gar beet industry, In addition to sever
nj millions Of capital invested In the
Arkansas valley, Is dependent upon
Twin Lakes reservoir dam remaining
In place. This should Indicate that the
rumors about the leakage from the res
ervoir and the weakness OF the dam are
unfounded.
w. l.. Hartman, general counsel and
general manager for the Twin Lakes
Land and Water Company, has repeat
edly denied all possibility of danger.
James ID. Schuyler, general consult
ing engineer for the American Beet Su-
gar Company, has presented a written
opinion over his signature stating the
dam to be entirely safe. One Of Mr..
Schuyler's constructions Is the famous
Sweetwater dam In southern California
which holds back body OF water 100
feet In depth. The Twin Lakes dam.
on the other hand, holds back water
to depth Of only about thirty feet
At the lowest point the dam is $50 feet
In thickness and twenty-five feet thick
on the top. Reports that the dam has
been leaking are denied, with the pos
tive statement that there is no seepage
at all.
The Twin Lakes water distributed
through the Bob Creek ditch, Is abso-
lutely essential to success In growing
sugar beets for the factory at Sugar
City. Business judgment has there
fore impelled the Twin Lakes company
to make the dam absolutely safe, and
this the management declares 1t to be,
In spite of stories repeated year after
year that the dam was on the point Of
going out.

Boston, June 13.-With the proud dis
tinction of being the fastest battleship
in America and the speediest OF her
class In the world, the new sea fighter,
Illinois, came to anchor in Presidents
roads last night. after most success
full trial over the government course
from Cape Ann to Cape Porpoise ana
return, n distance OF sixty-six nautical
miles. She raced yesterday under the
watchful eyes OF United States naval
representatives. and established new
record of maintaining an average speed
Of 1871 knots for four consecutive
hours. Not only did she demonstrate
that she was faster than my warship
of her size afioat, but she demonstrated
her ability to turn upon an enemy with
extraordinary quickness, by describing
n complete circle within 800 yards. or
little more than twice her length In
three minutes and ten seconds. while
ploughing through the sea at full speed.
The day could not have been more
perfect for trial OF a battleship.
Hardly a breath Of air ruftied the wa
ter as the vessel steamed out Of Boston
harbor.
The Illinois was hardly a thing Of
beauty ms she laid her course for Cape
Ann, but the white wave turned up at
her bow gave those on board the i'm
preston that she was out for u busi-
ness-like days work.
The first mark boat, the converted
yacht Hist, was in sight just before 10
o'clock. and twelve minutes past that
hour the ship crossed the starting line
with her engines registering III revo-
lutions to the minute.

BATTLESHIP ILLINOIS MAKES
NEW RECORD FOR HER CLASS

The ship passed mark boat No. 2, the
training ship Lancaster, mt seventeen
knot gait, twenty-five minutes and hf-
ty-three seconds after the start. The
next mark, the old Essex, was picked
up twenty-three minutes and twenty
seconds later, the Newport In twenty.
two minutes and twelve seconds; the
Peorin In twenty-three minutes and
three seconds and the naval tug Poto-
mac, at buoy No. 6. indicating the end
of the rty-three-knot run nOrthward,
In twenty-five minutes and thirty-Six
seconds.
For part of the northward run the
Illinois had reached n speed Of 1884
knots an hour. and Mt no time did she
drop below 1897. Buoy No. 8 was pass
ed at 12:O8:O7, showing elapsed time
for the run of one hour, forty-five min
utes and four seconds, and an average
speed for the thirty three knots Of 1875
nautical miles.
On the return the elapsed time be-
tween the buOys was about the same
as during the first half Of the trial.
Again she reached a maximum speed
Of 1874. with minimum Of 1897. The
finish line WAS passed and the speed
trial was over Mt 1:1S:33, the elnpsed
time being 1:54:42, and the average
speed for the second half Of the trial
1926.
The completed figures for the entire
sixty-six knots gave 3:4S:46 elapsed
time. and the average speed 1871 knots
per hour. Tidal corrections may make
slipht alterations In these figures. but
the changes are not likely to affect the
result materially.
