TUNNEL WATER
FALL OF 1908
Recent Close Estimates Made B,
Engineer McC ConneiI Warrants
This Statement.

"You may say that, according to best
information we Rave at hand, and from
close estimates just completed. the
Gunnison tunnel will be opened and
water running thru it during the latter
part of $685." declared Hon. l. w. Nc
Connell, constructing engineer Of the
Uncompahgre valley project, to the
Montrose Press on Tuesday, this being
the first authoritative statement to be
issued since the announcement was
made recently from Washington that
work at the various projects would be
curtailed as much as possible owing to
shortage in the revenues for this pur-
pose.
Asked further upon the subject, Mr..
McC Connell stated that the expenditures
on the project up to the present time
had been about $4,000 per month, or
$3.50, 900 a year, but in the future
unless relief was granted by congress -
the income would be about $3.50, 900 and
no larger sum than this can be expended
upon the project.
In order to meet this contingency and
keep all work going, the engineers
have been compelled to prepare sched-
ule for the future. 1t can be said,
however, with absolute certainty that
driving the tunnel will be continued as
heretofore at both ends. Work will
also go on just the same on the canals,
but their completion may be delayed a
year longer. This refers especially
to the East and West canals, the South
or Main canal, which will carry the
water supply to the Uncompahgre river
where it can be distributed in the pres
ent bitches, will be finished long before
the tunnel bore is thru the mountain.
Expenses are to be cut mainly in
driving the tunnel. it having been de-
cided to reduce the size of the same
about one-half wherever the ground is
firm enough not to require timbering
In all places where timbers must be put
in, the full tunnel size will be opened.
MIR. Mcconnell is Convinced this will
furnish sufficient water for immediate
demands, and later. as the funds become
available, the half sections will gradu-
ally be enlarged to the full size.
This is the best kind of news and
just what the people have been SO
anxiously looking for the last thirty
days. All kinds Of rumors have been
afloat, some of which reported that the
tunnel would be closed down for an in
definite period, and in consequence .
period of unrest spread over the COM
munity, for all the people are conver-
SAINT with the meaning Of such an order
to the whole Uncompahgre valley.
We can now go ahead maturing the
plans for pushing the up-building of the
town and county assured that the tun-
mel and canals are to be finished almost
on schedule time and without cessation
of work any place along the line.
The length of the tunnel today is as
follows:
River Portal. ................. 1894 feet
West Portal. .1344O feet
Total .2O434 feet
The water at River Portal has been
removed back 1000 feet and the pumps
are gaining on it at a steady gait. The
intake cut is now in toward the river
SO feet from the starting point in the
tunnel.
At West Portal 1900 feet of the con-
crete work has been finished.

DEATH OF COL. WALKER.
Test Ride Not Supposed to Be Re-
sponsible.

The officials OF the War Department
nave as yet no means Of determining
whether or not there was any connection
between Col. L. H. Walkers recent de-
mise and the test ride which he recently
undertook 1t is pointed out at the de-
partment that. under the terms OF the
order of the Secretary Of War. which was
doubtless strictly observed by each Of the
department commanders. no officer could
participate In the practice rides without
medical board. and II that examination
revealed any organic weakness that would
mako the ride hazardous the officer would
not be permitted to take 1t. AS q matter
Of fact, the medical board did find q
number OF officers unfit. and they did not
ride. So there Is no reason to doubt that,
as Col. Walker took the ride. he must
have been pronounced physically able to
do so without jeopardizing his life.
