stan in the historic Place d'Armes amid
cheers. the ringing Of cathedral bells.
the roar Of cannon and the centennial

IRRIGATION PROGRESS REPORTED
BY CHIEF ENGINEER NEWELL

be undertaken is the Gunnison tunnel
project, to cost upward Of $4,000. 900 and
watering 100000 acres.
In Wyoming 1t Is contemplated that
actual work will be commenced next
spring upon three projects. the princi-
pal one being on the North Platte riv-
er, from which lands in Wyoming and
Nebraska will be watered.
In New Mexico there Is a prospect
Of immediate work on the Hondo river
enterprise. in Pecos valley, costing
$3.50. 900.
In Utah Investigations have not been
carried to the point where 1t is possi
BILE to say just when actual work will
commence.
Idaho has two large projects upon
which work will commence early next
spring. These are upon Snake river,
the largest being the Minnedoka enter
prise, near the American Falls, and one
near st. Anthony's, contemplating the
reclamation of 100000 acres. Idaho
also has smaller project near Boise.
Projects in California, Oregon, WASH
ington, North and South Dakota were
also explained. Responding to ques-
tions, Mr.. Newell explained that all
projects deemed feasible from examin-
ations up to the present time involve
an outlay of $25,O00,00O. He said also
that irrigation development has been
greatest in states having large land
grants. like California. where large
holdings subsequently became subdi-
vided into small farms. He pronounced
the irrigation act practical piece of
legislation and said the work to the
present time has not shown that any
amendment of 1t is necessary.

Denver, Dec. 22-The Republican
prints an interview with John G. Os-
good, director of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company, and formerly chairman
of its board of directors. Mr.. Osgood
said:
There is no truth in the report that
a large amount of money is unaccount-
ed for on the books of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company. There was no
excuse for the publication of such a
tale. 1t is exasperating to read such
reports when there is absolutely moth
ing upon which they could be founded.
The story that an account is on the
books representing expenditures for a
costly building which cannot be found,
is also the veriest rot.
THE Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany is not embarrassed for money.
Money was advanced for its use by the
Rockefeller and Gould interests and it
was advanced upon terms that are re-
markable in their liberality.
"The plants of the Colorado Fuel and
iron Company probably will remain
closed down until the coal strike is
finally disposed of. There has been no
disposition to keep them closed day
longer than is necessary on account of
the lack of coal. Mr.. Rockefeller is not
trying to freeze out" any one, as has
been said in the papers. No criticism
of him or those interested with him is
fair as far as his dealings with the Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron Company is con-
cerned. l have never known case
where men had the power to force f.
naIcial matters where they were as
forbearing as Mr.. Rockefeller and Mr..
Gould have been. Everything has been
open and above board There has been
no attempt to press the stock of the
company, the interests that have Sc

and the new owners have been very

Washington, Dec. 20.-An interest
Ing joint meeting of the Senate and
House irrigation committees was held
yesterday in Representative Mondell's
committee room, in order to hear Chief
Engineer F. H. Newell explain opera
tions to date OF the reclamation service
under the new irrigation act.
Nearly the entire membership of both
committees was present and Senators
Bard, Newlands, Hansbrough, Gibson,
Stewart and Warren, who attended,
questioned Mr.. Newell closely from
time to time concerning the work ac-
complished and projected in various
parts of the West, and concerning the
practical workings of the new act and
the desirability of any amendment.
Chief Engineer Newell was before the
committee for over five hours and ex-
planned at length, with the aid of maps
and bas relief plans, the operations of
his Office in carrying the irrigation act
into practical effect.
Work has actually commenced upon
one project known as the Salt river, or
Tonic enterprise. in Arizona, where ir-
rigation- works to cost $3,500,000 and
calculated to supplement and increase
the water supply on 100000 acres of
land now in private ownership, are to
be built.
Bids have also been called for on a
project on the Truckee river, in Ne
vada, contemplating the diversion Of a
canal from the Truckee river costing
100000. reservoirs on the Carson river
costing 1000, and distribution works
costing $1.000,000, the entire enterprise

TUNNEL DECIDED
FOR rlOFE:AT ROAD

Denver, Dec. 20.-The News this
morning says that Moffat road officials
have decided at last upon the site OF
tho big tunnel. and the contract will be
let soon. The decision Is to gIln the
tunnel at the low site instead Of the
high one. This involves almost twice
as much work, but it insures a freedom
from snow at points adjacent to the en-
trance and will enable the road to OPP
crate trains at all seasons Of the year
without keeping snow plows and crews
constantly on duty during winter
months.
The selection of the more expensive
site is characteristic Of the Moffat road,
which has never allowed a spirit OF
economy to interfere with the building
Of the best road possible.
Build the best road that can be
built" is the order of Mr.. Moffat. This
order was given at the very beginning.
and will obtain until the road is com
pleted.
It is announced that this tunnel will
be two and ope-sixteenth miles in
length, with a maximum grade Of two
per cent. from the ends to the valleys,
which lie just beyond the approaches
to the tunnel. The big hole will be
through the continental divide at an
elevation of $3.50 feet. or 2,270 feet be-
low the crest of the Rockies. 1t will re-
quire from two to two and q half
years to do the work. Arrangements
are being made now to install modern
plants. 80 that the work can be done on
both sides Of the mountains.
The Moffat road will abound in tun-
nels. but most Of them will be short
The officials Of the road have also
decided that the switchback now being
constructed shall be q permanent fea-
ture Of the road. The switchback here
tofore has been termed temporary
line. but those who have been over the
survey say the scenery is SO magnif-
cent that the retention OF the line will
prove a great attraction to tourists. SO
