At each end of the weir and con- structed in solid granite rock, will be a sluiceway 200 feet wide and excavated to the depth of low water in the river. These sluiceways will be closed by large gates operated by hydraul- ic machinery. The diversion canals will take their water above these gates from the sides of the sluiceways.

SENATOR BARD AND ARIZONA

Some of the politicians and newspapers of Arizona occupy a strange and inconsistent attitude toward Senator Bard of CaIifor- nia. They are hostile to him, and apparently without reason. They seem to misapprehend the situation and to mistake entirely she senator's real attitude toward two subjects of vital interest to Arizona namely national irriga- sion and statehood
 This great enterprise, the irri- gatEon of the arid public lands of the west, is perhaps of mere vi fal importance to the welfare of Arizona, her people and her fu- lure, than any single enterprise, either public or private, in which they are or can be interested.
 Senator Bard is a known and ardent advocate of national irri- gation. He is broad minded, in selligent, persistent, alert and just in his views and his work touching this great beneficial enterprise, which means the sal vatFon of vast areas of the public domain now hopeless deserts His ability, the comprehensive scope of his understanding, and his faithful devotion in the sen ate.to the cause made his seIec- sion for the chairmanshlp of the senate committee on irrigation the naturaE and necessary course for the president of that body to pursue. In that relation he has rendered inestimable service to she cause so vital to- Arizona and other arid regicnSy and his, use fitness in that direction has only just begun. Howy then, can in tellIgent citizens of Arizona, ,hav. ing the true interests of their territory at heart, find reasons for opposing Senator Bard and desiring his defeat for another term? Their attitude is mcom prehensibley and The Times Is satisfied that it is based upon 6 complete misapprehension ot ats facts. ils the facts. It is not surprising, however, that sl1is misapprehension is not uni werSal, because no small portion of the intelligent population oI Arizona refuses to entertain this view. Senator Bard is today il a position to render more sub stantial service to the Arizona of the future than any man in the senate, or than any other Cali fornian could render. Arizona should be his friend and not his opponent.
 The other ground of opposi tion to Senator Bard in Arizona is his alleged attitude on state hood. Here again there is GU rious misapprehension of the trp5 merits Of the case. If there is ore sentiment more than another dominant in Arizona it is oppo si+ion fo joint statehood-tht hIschlpg Of Arizona ana NaE

the water movement toward the canal will be slow and most of the sediment will be deposited
 before reaching the canal intake.
 When this has accumulated to a considerable extent the sluice- gates will be opened, and it is estimated that their capacity will be approximately 10000 cu- bic feet per second each. This great volume of water passing through the sluiceways, when the gates are opened, will carry out with it the sediment deposit ed above the intake of the canal.
