IRRIGATION CANALS.
One Great Project Nearly Finished
and Another Planned.

Denver.-One of the greatest irriga-
tion projects in Colorado, involving
100000. is Just being completed and
this fact leads to the announcement OF
a still greater undertaking in the same
connection which will cost 100000,
says the Denver News.
Division Engineer William Rist of
the state engineers office is now as
sisting in the adjudication of rights to
the Grand River ditch in Grand county,
which is the project now about fin
ished, after having been in course of
construction for nearly five years. 1t
represents one of the most important
undertakings of the kind in the West
The Grand River ditch starts at the
headwaters of the Grand, in Grand
county, on the western slope, and car
ries water from what is known as the
Pacific slope to the Atlantic slope, ex-
tending over a distance of seventy-five
miles. 1t runs through Larimer and
Weld counties, taking the water to
the numerous reservoirs around Fort
Collins.
During the month of July 1t is esti-
mated that this great canal will carry
an average of 500 cubic feet OF water
per second, which is equal to the irrl-
cation of $4,000 acres. The land which
will receive the benefit Of this water
lies around Fort Collins. No one is al
lowed to divert the water from the ca
nal anywhere over the entire seventy
five-mile course.
The second project which is just,
being planned, and which undoubtedly
will be carried out, Is along the same
line as the Grand River, but is even,
greater.
1t is planned to put tunnel through
the Boulder ridge. uear the headwa-.
tiers of the Grand, which will have an
average OF 700 cubic feet Of water per
second, and this will irrigate another
enormous tract of land In northern
Colorado. The cost Of this tunnel pro-.
ject will be in the neighborhood Of,
$500. 900 and will make total Of $780,
900 expended for irrigation purposes
In that section Of the state.

FIGHTING SALTON SEA.
Southern Pacific Making Frantic Ef-
forts to Save Tracks.

Salton, Cal.-Confronted with a final
washout within the next six weeks by
the rapidly-advancing waters Of the
Salton sea, the Southern Pacific COM
pany Is now making every effort pos
sible to turn the Colorado river back
into its old channel, which leads into
the Gulf of California.
Forty miles of the company's trans
continental line is affected.
Large gangs with teams and graders
have been sent to Pilot Knob, a few
miles this side of Yuma, and the con-
struction of nine-mile spur track
branching from the main line at Pilot
Knob, leading down through Mexico
and ending at the famous intake, has
been commenced. This track will be
used for the transportation of material
required to dam the food at the in
take.
The work of checking the flow at
the intake, where the Colorado river
is rushing from its old channel into the
Salton sink, has been handicapped by
its isolation from the railroad. Ma
chinery and material needed to con-
struct the dam and headsates had to
be hauled nine miles by wagon, or
f1oated down the Colorado from Yuma.
1t is proposed to run trainloads of
rock from the quarries near Pilot Knob
and dump them into the intake, thus
constructing the dam which Is in
tended to check the flow Of the river
into the Salton sea and turn 1t back
into the gulf. The opening to be
closed is over 400 feet wide and dam
of a mile in length will be necessary.
With these transportation facilities,
those in charge of the work feel con-
fdent that they will be able to avoid
another move of the Southern Pacific's
tracks. The time. however, is short
to accomplish this feat

Shorter Hours In Laundrles.

Denver.-Laundries requiring their
women employees to work over eight
hours day are to receiv- the atten-
ton Of the state labor commissioners
ONCE, according to the deputy COM
missioner, Edwin v. Brake. 1t is said
that there are numerous instances Of
the continued violation Of this law in
Denver, and that the women are re-
quired to work twelve and sixteen
hours a day. Laundry work Is about
the hardest thing that woman can
ind to do.
The heat is enervating in the first
place, and long hours Of the wearisome
toll 10 certain to cause physical
breakdown sooner or later.

DARING ROBBERY
LONE CALIFORNIA BANDIT RE.
PORTED CAUGHT.
WAS SUSPECTED LAST YEAR
HiehNayman Wore Black Mask-Pas.
senoer Tells Dramatic Story
Of the Robbery.

Fresno, Cal.-Charged with holding
up single-handed and robbing FIVE Yo-
semitic stages near Advance Saturday
night, Jack Sweet of Grub gulch has
been arrested here and taken to Wa
wona for identification, according to
reports Just received here
Sweet is suspected of having held up
the Yosemite stage one year ago. No
arrest was then made because he came
forward with an alibi Sweet owns a
small tract Of land at Grub gulch, in
the Sierras. and works as a aborer in
the mines.
The sheriff's office at Madeira has
no official information concerning the
arrest and Sheriff Jones has not been
in communication with the Office since
he plunged into the mountains Satur-
day in pursuit of the bandit
News of the orrest was brought here
by man named Graham from Ahwa-
nee and all depends upon the possible
ity of identification which several
stage passengers say they are able TO
furnish.
The first authentic information was
received last night in Fresno when J.
F. Tibbett OF Riverside. who with his
wife and Miss Amy Michelbacher had
come out OF the valley. The robbery
occurred six miles from the stopping
place at Advance on the Yosemite
side. At that place the road winds
around the side Of hill and comes to
sudden point. At this point the rob-
Der stepped out and ordered w. A.
Palmer, the driver of the first stage,
n OF Tho Lot I'D
The highwayman wore black mask
and had sacks tied about his feet to
prevent the leaving of any telltale
tracks as a clue for pursuing posse.
He held in his right hand Winches-
ter. The man behind the mask and
gun ordered the passengers to alight
The women screamed but the robber
emphasized his order and all quickly
got out Of the stage and lined up on
the road with their hands above their
heads. II. w. Elliott, from Hornitos,
was ordered to take the express box
from the stage
While he was waiting for the other
stage to come up, the robber shot the
lock off the Wells-Fargo box and r!fed
It's contents. The bandit stopped the
other stages in the same way, lining
the passengers up and keeping them
covered with his gun.
When all the passengers, forty-five
in number, were lined up the bandit.
with show of gaiety, selected young
and pretty girl as his first assistant
and told her she was appointed col
lector. She hesitated a moment, then
went about the work. The girl did
not come up to the robbers require
ments, and he told her that she was
poor highwayman, ordering her to
get into line and appointing man to
take her place. requiring him to search
the passengers.
An English woman and her daugh-
ter were in the party and when the
robber approached her she dropped in
the road in a dead faint. He only
laughed as he searched her.
The bandits camp was found where
he cooked his meals and where he
burned his DISCUSSES after the robbery.
The officers found $50 which the rob-
Der overlooked in the express box
which he rifled and $3.50 that tourists
had thrown into the brush.
