ELECTRICAL ARRANGEMENTS Which Are We'll Under Way
 at Roosevelt Work On the Dam is Rapidly Getting Beyond Flood Danger.

Roosevelt, Ariz.. Dec. 3l.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican.)- O. H. Ensign of the faculty of the University of Wisconsin and chief electrical engineer of the '. s. R. &, arrived at the government headquar- ters on Thursday and remained until Saturday. While here NIT. Ensign and Mir. Demerick experimented with the new machinery in the power house The engineers have decided to install five more hydro electrical units in the power house. The one now in oper ation is the first permanent hydro electrical unit installed. There will be six in all, three to be supplied with power from the power canal with a 225 foot head and three from the reser- voir with head ranging from 100 to 225 feet. So the same water which leaves the reservoir for irrigating pur poses will furnish power for pumping water on the desert
 Within six weeks the power house will be completed. The hot springs under the dam will be piped to the power house and used for bath. Every convenience will be provided TUT lllOSE lOl NA' new transformer house are now being made. It will be built 600 feet down the river from the power house and is to be constructed of red sandstone taken from the site of the building. The material for the building will be obtained by contract and the building will be done by the government. This Is deemed the most economical method The transformer house will measure s0x30 feet. Eighteen transformers will be placed. there being three trans formers for every unit in 6e power house. Each transformer. each high switch. every high tension wire will be placed In concrete cells by itself that all possible precautiOn may be taken against danger to the employees and damage. to the building from fire or explosion. All machinery in the trans former house will be operated by push button switches at the power house. The transformers will be cooled by oil. circulated by pumps so no oiling by hand will be necessary. One thing which the engineers have not vet de- cided upon is the maximum tension and slack There seems to be no way to determine this other than by the cut and try method It is known that the temperature once in a great while drops to several degrees below zero. Tn this case a high tension would damage the wires. More slack will he given in the mountains than elsewhere on the line.

Traveller From Chandelaire River Tells
of a "Noah's Ark"
The story of the existence of big
ship on u high hill overlooking Il string
of lakes fifty miles from the head OF
Chandelaire river has been brought to
Dawson by n. ]. Brown, u recent ar
rival from that district, says a Tacoma
dispatch. 1t fits in with the story told
years ago Of the finding of Noah ark"
The big structure as described by
Brown may have been a Russian fort
He believes it was a sort of floating
fort constructed in some of the lakes
by early Russian settlers and later
abandoned. The structure is one
story high, measuring twelve to four
teen feet to the caves. 1t is 100 yards
long, Brown says, and is made with
copper nails, bolts and washers. 1t
has doors and windows in the upper
works and bears peculiar letters I'M
known by any traveller, besides some
Russian words.
Indians In the vicinity go to the near
by lakes to fish. Some of them have
used the huge craft for drying salmon.
A majority of the tribe. however, are
superstitious, and the whole tribe has
now moved hundred miles to get
away from it.

RATS AS A WORLD MENACE.
Man Must Drive Them Out or Be
Driven, Says French Scientist.

DIR. A. Calmette, French scientist.
In a recent number Of La Revue du
Noise predicts that mankind will have
to engage In a general warfare on
rats before many more years elapse if
the world is to continue to be habita-
ble He points out that the peril
comes from the migratory rat, which
follows the march of men into every
cline Rats of other breeds have been
known ever since man began to keep
records. The migratory or sewer rat
is first mentioned in 1920, when he
was a native of Persia and East In
dia. He did not invade Europe until
the eighteenth century.
Professor Calmette says that the
sewer rat did not appear in America
until 1865. AS late as 1870 he had not
yet reached the headwaters of the
Missouri By 1900 he had gone up to
the permanent ice belt.
At present, the scientist continues.
this migratory rodent is destroying in
the West Indies, in the Azores and in
the Cape Verde islands annually hun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth
of coffee, banana, sugar and orange
plantations.
As a sample Of what he can do the
case of an island in the estuary of the
river Humber is cited. This island
once kept in condition all the year
around about 5000 head of cattle. The
place was infested by rats fifteen
years ago. Today there is not enough
verdure on the island to nourish Il
rabbit

multiply to 1,536.

Several lads were in swimming as the
Columbia pulled out for Muscatine.
One of the boys was caught in the
waves of the boat and was being car

stream. 1t was observed that he could
not swim and bystanders on shore
called to the pilot of the boat to stop
the steamers wheel. This was done
and a man who happened to be near
by, jumped into the stream and res

steamers wheel with his charge and
after a brief rest, swan to shore. Al
ter placing the lad safely on the bank,
the hero walked away without divulg-

deed, he was warmly applauded by the
passengers on the boat and the general
concensus of opinion was that he is en-

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need sufficient amount Of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach if
it is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat suffic-
lent amount Of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do Is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.
