bility Of . break in the big Pathfind-
Or dam in Wyoming. about which con.
siderable was printed in the papers
two months ago. he said:
THE Pathfinder dam IL about as
likely to break as James Peak is to
topple over. The dam 10 200 miles
from the lands which 1t 10 designed to
irrisate. the former being In central
Wyoming and the latter ON either side
Of the Wyoming Nebraska line. This
has been an extraordinary year for
rainfall. and in June the North Platte
ran 100000 acre feet Of water, or the
average run for the entire year pre-
vious. The auxiliary discharge tun.
nels from the dam, which ultimately
will be used for power purposes. have
. capacity Of 5000 second feet. a ire
mendous volume of water, and are
amply able to care for any quantity
that may come down the river. We
feel sure Of that since the June ex.
perience.
I'VE are now planning to build the
Pathfinder dixie, which will fill low
sag on the south side Of the dam. Tho
existence of the sag is what caused
the talk in June, when the exception.
al quantity Of water developed. With
that taken care Of there will not even
be room for talk.
Probably our most interesting, and
certainly our most novel, project. ia
that at Garden City, Kan, where irri.
cation by pumping from the under
flow and from the Arkansas river lie
being carried on successfully. The
Arkansas has carried very large
amount Of water this year, and most
OF our pumping has been from the
river direct, although the underflow
also has been utilized.
"Of course the eyes of the world
are on the Gunnison tunnel Of the un.
compahgre project, and you may say
that the engineering work will be
complete and everything in readiness
to receive the President and his dis.
tinguished party when they arrive at
Montrose for the purpose Of opening
the tunnel September 23rd."

LOSS $15o,coo.
Governor Diapers Boston Horne De.
stroyed by Flames.

Boston. Oct. 5.-The Boston residence
of GOV. l1ben S. Draper, 1910 Beacon
street in the Back Bay section of this
city, was practically reduced to a shell
by fire early Tuesday. A conservative
estimate of the loss places il at $780,
600. No one was in the building at the
time. the governor and his family not
having returned from their summer
home at HOpedale.
The fire department was called to the
scene by a still alarm, and arriving at
the house found the interior q roaring
furnace. A regular alarm was then
rurg in and followed five minutes af-
terWard with a second. 1t was impos-
sible. however, to save the interior of
the house then as the fire was raging
in every room. There was much spec
tacular work by the firemen, some of
whom played streams in the house
from the wide stone window sills. One
fireman, George Haggett, was over
come by smoke and fell from the third
ions about the body.
The cause of the fire was uneXplain-
ed. 1t evidently started in the base
ment, probably through the careless
use of matches by workmen who were
in the house Monday preparing it for
occupancy. John Holmes, the care
taker, said that he left the house at S
O'Clock Monday afternoon and was the
last one to be in it.
The house is brown stone struc-
ture, four ana half stories in height.
Gov Draper was informed of the fire
by Lieut.. Gov. Frothingham By tele-
phone, and the governor came up from
Hopedale on an early morning train
Gov. Draper came up from his sum-
mer home in Hopedalc during the fore
noon and looked with a considerable
amount of resignation upon the de-
struction. He said that his monetary
loss would surely reach $150,0oO, but
that the insurance company could not
make good the hooks, pictures. rugs
and other things which We're wiped our
by the flames.
Tho house itself was almost new and
was fitted with the most modern appli-
ances. The governor was particularly
thankful that none of the family We're
in the house at the time of the fire and
was SURPRISED that the flames could
have obtained such Roadway.
Fire seems to have pursued the
Draper family, for only six months age
the former home of George Otis Draper
in Hopedalo occupied by former Sem
ator F.. (. Osgood, cousin of Gov.
Draper, was aloS destroyed.
