DIvERTING A. RIVER COURSE.
A Mammoth Job of Engineering Un- lertaken by the Government
 in Colorado.

In accordance with the policy rec commended by President Roosevelt in his message to congress, the United States government is taking its first step toward retaining the ari1 lands of the west.
 One of the greatest engineering feats of modern times is already under way, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. The Gunnison river in Colorado is to be di- yerted from its course through a six mile tunnel so that the stream shall irrigate the Uncompahgre valley. It will cost $1, 100000.
 The result will be that a whole farm ing community will be reclaimed and a fertile district, now parched and dry for lack of water, will once more blos- som as the rose.
 When the Uncompahgre valley was settled a few years ago abundant irri- gation was supplied by the Uncom- pahgre river, but the cutting of the timber since then has caused the stream to shrink to tiny creek. As a consequence the farms were deserted and the value of the land sank to al- most nothing. Now, with the promise of a new water supply. the land has fairly leaped in price. and some of it is now held as high as $500 an acre.
 The work preliminary to starting the big tunnel has just been completed by the United States geographical sur yey.
 It involved trip across the Black canyon of the Gunnison, a district never before explored in it's entirety | by white men. A few years ago party of explorers made the attempt, but they had gone only short distance when they lost all their boats and sup plies and barely escaped with their lives.
 Before setting out the government employees planned to have provisions lowered to them by ropes from above l So they started with as light an equip ment a possible, only their surveyors 1 instruments, a camera and few neces sary articles. It took them ten days to traverse the ten miles of their jour ney.

BASKETBALL

Only one more series of games re- mains to be played in the '. NJ. C. A. basket ball league This series was scheduled for next Saturday night, but it has been postponed for one week in order to give all the Y. M c. A. rooters a chance to accompany their bowling team to Meriden. There they will play the New Haven Y. M c. A. team. This will be the third and deciding game between the teams, and as each team has won one game, both teams are de- sirous of winning this game
 The basket ball games Saturday night resulted as follows: Eagles II, Lobsters 6; Monitors 42, Normans 13; Business Men 26, Stars H. The stand ing of the league is as foI1ows

BASKET BALL AT ARMoRY.
Company A Will Play on Friday Even

Company 4 Will Play on Friday Even
 ing.
 On Friday night at the armory Con- pany As basket ball team will line Up against what they consider their hard est proposition of the season. The military boys have never recovered from the severe shock they received at Naugatuck when their pet football eleven were made to bite the dust at the beginning of the football season. Naugatuek has promised to give them their first throw down also in basket ball. and Friday nights contest will tell the tale. In such players as Burns, Brien, Kelly, Connor and the rest of ] the football crowd Naugatuck has cer- 1 tainly got some fast basket ball stock and their playing ability is well known to the Company A men. The intense rivalry between these two teams means game full of life from the toss up of the ball to the finish. It is well known fact that the games at the arm ory are of the sort that keeps the spec tators constantly on their toes, and everyone attending gets their money worth.
 Tickets for the game are now on sale at Towles's Center street store, or may be purchased of members of Company 4 at 15 cents.

Unless we'll laid plans are seriously interrupted the people of Brooklyn, N. Y., will soon have an opportunity to witness one of tie most daring at tempts to lower former speed records of all kinds ever made in thiss country. Charles Murphy, familiarly known as '.Mile-a-M Minute Murphy and bis brother, Bill. propose to run a steam motor, which has been recently con structed for them, over a measured mile on the Coney Island boulevard at speed greater than that of the dare devil chauffeur, Fournier, when he made the automobile record Of 51 4-5 seconds at the trials of the Long Island Automobile club last fall. The two brothers will enter the open speed trial for the mile worlds record, to be held jointly under the auspices of the Auto mobile club of America and the Long Island Automobile club, of which the two cyclists are members. The date will probably be May 31. Charley Murphy is the man who in 1899 rode a bicycle a mile behind a locomotive on Long Island in 57 4-5 seconds. Former ly he was star of the national cycle racing circuit.

DOOR BELL FOR THE DEAF.
Efforts of New York Couple to ArA range Indicator to Notify
 Them of Callers at the Door.

A young deaf-and-dumb couple who were married recently, and began housekeeping in flat, have found some substitute for a door-bell, says the New York Post. The door-eell al- ready in the building they found, of course, to be entirely useless. They consulted all their married friends and acquaintances among deaf-mutes as to what to do, but it appeared that all of them had either married persons who could hear, so their experience counted for nothing. Obviously, in the absence of the sense of hearing, either sight, smell, taste or touch had to be relied on to show when visitor was at the door.
 The first idea that occurred to the couple was to remove the bell and hang to the clapper ribbons that would wave whenever any one pressed the button, but this would do no good unless some one were looking at the ribbons, and it scarcely seemed worth while to mount guard over it at all hours. Then some one suggested fastening phial of oil of peppermint or altar of roses to the "buzzer," so that it,would spill few drops when it moved. The sense of taste, so far as they could devise, could not be made available in any way. Just at present, a carpenter is making for the fiat a sort of sounding box, in which the vibration of the old bell will be sc multiplied as to be perceptible by the sense of feeling to the delicate nerves of the deaf. At least, they hope this 1 will prove a solution.

MYTH 1HE NRES1LERS
Mort" Henderson Will Meet At
 las in the Preliminary.

Two Trials of Fifteen Minutes Each
 at Catch as Catch Can and Graeco-
 Roman-Another Trial. lime Not
 Limited. If Each Wins a Fall-Witt-
 mer and Henderson Will Wrestle at
 the Brooklyn Athletic Club To-
 Night.
 Mort Henderson, the "Rocnes.er Butcher Boy,' whom many good judges regard as the coming champion of the world, will have an opportun- ity to demonstrate his ability to-mor- row night when he meets Professor Atlas as the curtain raiser to the Wittmer-Dwyer contest at City hall. Atlas and Henderson will meet in two periods of fifteen minutes each, one period at catch as catch can, the otn- CT at Graeco-Roman. Should either of the men secure a fall in the time al- lowed he will be declared the winner Should each win fall, however, they will wrestle third period without time limit, the winner of two out of the three to earn the referees verdict. The third style to be used will be se- lected by the man winning his pre- vious fall i'll the quickest time, and under these conditions each will have to hustle from start to finish. Both men are very fast and aggressive and as both are always ready to step on the mat at moments notice the con test should, in the natural order of things, be equal ill speed to the main event. Henderson is best at catch as catch can, while Atlas is more expert at Graeco- Roman, and the arrange ments give them an opportunity to | work under conditions which favor each in turn.
 Jim Magner, the Big Ieeman,' an nounced yesterday that in the event oi Atlas declining he would be ready to go on with Henderson if the latter would agree to throw him i'll fifteen minutes. Manager Tuohey said that he would gladly give the local man the first opportunity, and if the ar engagements with Atlas had not pro gressed so far he would prefer Mag uei.
 | Wittmer and Henderson will work tonight at the Brooklyn A. c. and have offered to wrestle with all the To l cal men who care to meet them, re gardless of size and weight. As the l bouts will be merely workouts this i will afford the local wrestlers an op- portunity to test their skill against the big fellows.
 Beyond the work tonight Wittmel will do no more training. He is lighter now than he has been for some time and will go on the mat at not over 19s pounds. He will carry enough extri flesh to work off during the contest as he generally loses from four to six pounds during an hours wrestling He told the writer this morning tha1 he expected to win straight falls, bu conceded Dwyer's superiority at tht Cornish style.
 The advance sale at Towle's store on Center street continues good an6 indicates that a good sized crowd vii see the men struggle.
 Alfred Anderson, the Hartford l wrestler, says he will take on Alex | Swanson of Yonkers or any other wrestler in the country, under any con l ditions that will embrace a heavy l weight-lifting contest.

Charley Luskey the First of the Local
 Team to Arrive.
 The first of the local players to ar rive is that cracker-jack catcher, Charles Luskey. He arrived here from Washington Saturday night and is trained down to perfect condition. He has been practicing all winter and feels that he will do better work than ever before behind the bat, He was sur prised when told the bunch of players that will be associated with him and said that Waterbury was strong enough to win the pennant. From what he knows now of the conditions here in this state he is confident that Connecticut will see the fastest base ball she ever did.

Philadelphia, April 7.--Joe Tipman of Baltimore and Johnnie Burns of New York appeared in the windup at the National Athletic club here Satnr- day night ip a tame bout. Burns was the aggressor i'll every round. but did not seem able to arouse the Baltimore mans fighting blood. Tipman clinched and hugged for four rounds. and tlle referee threatened to take him eff. This had some effect and in the fifth and sixth rounds he did some leading Burns played for the body exclusively. but his right swings on the stomach did not seem to distress his opponent in the least; it was Burns's fight in every respect. The semi-winduD was between Jimmy Devine and Tommy Nolen. This proved the best fight of the evening. as both boys did some fast milling. It was a good draw. Tn one of the minor bouts Grif Jones Of Brooklyn outclassed Hattie Mitchell of this city. to snch an extent that the ref cree stopped the fight.

The last round was easily Simister's, but the New York lad was clearly entitled to the decision.

Denver. Col, April "A match has been nearly closed between Young GOT, bett and Dave Sullivan to be contested in San Francisco ill May.
 Billy Madden, manager of Denver Ed'' Martin, the negro heavyweight, received the following telegram yester- day from T. J. McCarey of the Century Athletic club of Los Angeles: "Get Mccoy for Martin, May 9. Give 60 per cent gross. Furnish each two round trip. Prospects big. Would give guar antee. but don't know effect of big contest falling through. Seats S2O, Slu and S5. Safe 20,000. Madden wired back that Martin would box anybody in the world if Mccoy did not accept.
 Charles White, the referee, and 1sf- dor Witmark. the song publisher, en- gagged in a violent fight at Forty-first street and Broadway last night by mis- take. White, with a party of friends, among whom was Peter McNally of Boston, was walking down the thor oughfare when he saw Witmark com ing up in company of Paul West. Sim ply as a joke White pulled his hat down over his eyes and, when the song man approached, reached out and lit him a fairly telling blow i'll the region of lung. Witmark, without seeing who his antagonist was, responded and sent the referee in close communication with an awning pole Several by islanders, who knew both men, rushed in and were about to separate them when Witmark, thinking he was the victim of some sort of a conspiracy struck out, hitting right and left Meanwhile an immense crowd had gathered. and Byrnes, a patrolman who stood at the corner. rushed in to separate tlIe men. when he found il was joke on the part of the referee notwithstanding both he and Witmafk had been damaged somewhat by the interfering bystanders. who imagined they were taking part in free for al fight.
