STORY OF THE TRAGEDY.

In following the story of how the
deplOrable event took place the reader
is requested to refer at this time to
the accompanying picture of a section
Of the sluicing tunnel. which is about
GOO feet long and is excavated in the
solid rock at the base of the mountain
on the south side of the river, encir-
cling the end of the dam at a point
near datum or the natural level Of the
river bed. This tunnel is on something
Of a curve though in the picture is
shown as straight, the tunnel having
been excavated long before the con-
struction of the dam was undertaken
and though a part of the project, has
nothing to do with the dam. II taps
the basin above, expelling the water
from the mountain side below the dam.
At a point approximately 200 feet
below the head of the tunnel are two
sets of three gates, across the tunnel,
the two sets being eleven feet apart.
The tunnel which is 10 feet high by 13
feet wide, is enlarged to greater
height at the point where the gates are
set. and is divided by two walls into
three compartments, a gate at the up
per and lower ends of each conpart-
ment In the diagrams the gates are
numbered and the reader will note
that / and T. 2 and and and 6
operate in harmony enclosing the three
respective chambers. From these gates
a shaft runs to the surface on the
mountainside, about 140 feet above.
1t was through the shaft the gates
were lowered to their position and the

weighing 1870 lbs. sold at 1896. and
Montana hay-fed steers weighing 1900
lbs. sold to feeders at s5.45. Some
low grade stock steers from eastern
Colorado brought $4.OO. Oklahoma
fed steers sold at $5.00@6.25 here, and
full range of prices on stockers is
$4,000@5.50, feeders s475@5.75, some
high bred Colorados at the top figure
early last week. A sensational sale
last week was some black Colorado
stock heifers at s450@47O. Cows
from the west bring $40O6525, a.
string of Utah feeders early last week
at $5.25. The quality of fed steers
from native territory is not as good
as a week or two ago, on account
of haste of feeders to get away from
feeding high priced corn.
Sheep and lambs fluctuated mildly
last week, but closed up strong, and
the market was firm yesterday on
run of 5000 head. Top lambs
brought $500 nearly every day last
week, and the same figure is top
with bulk of lambs at $7.706S.OO.
some yearlings at $3.50. wethers $3.50,
ewes $500. with Colorado contribut-
ing practically all of the fed stock
now coming. Texas muttons are in
larger supply today than any day be-
fore this season, and quality averages
fairly good, with bulk of sales at
s5.25 5.35. Fat goats bring around
$425. and brushers find ready sale
at $3.006350 Dealers here predict
higher prices for fed stock, shortage
of which will also help the market
on grass muttons. Packers will nee
essarily be forced to find a substitute
for the fed stock, as their demands
are greater this season than ever be-
fore at this market.

KANSAS CITY MARKETS.

Kansas City, May Cattle re-
ceipts were lighter last week than
in several previous weeks, and prices
closed stronger than the low time
of the week, but slightly lower than
the close of the previous week. The
run was 5000 head yesterday. 5000
smaller than a week ago, but Chi
cago reported big run and bad
break, resulting in a decline on beef
steers here of 10 cents, other classes
about steady. Not a great many
range cattle were included in the
receipts yesterday, and nothing very
high class. Some sugar mill steers

Tunnel 10 feet high, 13 feet wide.
Saturday night gates l. 5 and 8 were
closed, the middle chamber of the tun-
mel being full of water. Messrs. Har-
ris and Demrick planned an inspection
of the gates Sunday morning and had
arranged with the gate keeper to meet
him at the head of the shaft at Z
O'Clock, at which time he was to close
gate No. 2 and open No. 5. emptying
the central chamber so all six gates
could be inspected from below. The
gate tender was not on time and they
waited for him about a half hour and
finally decided to go ahead and in
spect the gates as they then were.
Arizona republican., 1909-05-03
HOW 1T HAPPENED.

According to the story of Mr.. Har-
ris he was in one of the side chambers
over an hour later and up on ladder
when he heard Demrick call to him
and he Immediately began to climb
down. He saw and heard the seething
water below but could not see Dem
rick. When about eight feet from the
bottom of the ladder the latter began
to topple and Harris jumped into the
swirling torrent. AS he did so he saw
Demrick some distance below on the
crest of a wave, throwing his hands
wildly. He was probably trying to
make the boat and hold it in the hope
of saving himself and Harris. The next
instant Harris was submerged and
knows nothing more that happened
until some minutes after when he
found himself in big pool in the
river below the dam, trying to swim
out His hand was seized by man
who chanced to be near the tunnel
opening when the water came pouring
out This man says he saw Demrick
shoot by an instant before Harris did
but in trying to save the latter he lost
sight of Demrick whose body was not
recovered until nearly an hour later,
from the river below.
Just exactly what happened is not
known here. What is supposed to
have happened is that somebody whose
purpose was to close gate No. and
open No. S, thus letting the water out
of the chamber these gates enclose,
undertook to do so and not knowing
there was anybody in the tunnel
thought to save time by operating
them simultaneously. AS gate No. 5
started down gate No. started up.
The effect was that for short time
a torrent rushed in through gate No.
9 under a ninety foot head, that being
the height of the water in the reser-
voir. 1t would seem that had gate No.
2 been closed before No. 8 was raised
the small amount of water held in the
one little chamber could not have
made a flood the men would be un-
able to resist especially as the rising
gate would come up slowly.
The marvel is that Mr.. Harris was
not also killed in the desperate trip
through the 400 feet of tunnel where
rough rocks stick out on the sides
anu TIE water NOo9Cs'
over the uneven floor with holes in
it several feet deep in places. 1t is
designed to cement and smooth up
this tunnel eventually, but thus far
it has been in use most of the time
since il was excavated, and that feat
ure of the work can be done any
time. 1t was necessarily smoothed
and lined above the gates before the
reservoir began to fill. On two other
occasions men have gone through
the tunnel from the upper end, but
It was before the reservoir level was
above the head so the tunnel was
only partly filled, and there was
some chance of one keeping on the
surface part of the time. Both were
Mexicans, and the one who was the
worse scared, was in a boat. Neither
was badly hurt. 1t is altogether like
ly that Mr.. Demrick was killed by
being dashed against the rocks, OF

Peculiar Qualities Of the Swallow
Should Endear Him to All TIL
lers Of the Soil.

From the standpoint of the farmer
and the orchardist perhaps no birds
more useful than the swallows exist.
They have been described as the light
cavalry Of the avian army.
Specially adapted for fight and un.
excelled in aerial evolutions, they have
few rivals in the art of capturing in
sects in midair. They eat nothing of
value to man except few predaceous
wasps and bugs, and in return for
their services in destroying vast num-
bers of noxious insects ask only for
harborage and protection.
1t Is to the fact that they capture
their prey on the wing that their pc
cul1ar value to the cotton grower is
due. Orioles do royal service in catch
ing weevils on the hollis, and black.
birds, wrens, fycatchers and others
contribute to the good work, out when
swallows are migrating over the cot
ton fields they find the weev!ls flying
IN the open and wage active war
against them. AS many as AZ adult
weevils have been found in the stom.
ach OF single cliff swallow.

TRIBUTE TO "MoTHER voLGA"
Haunting Melody Of Sorrow and Un.
rest Hoard in Prison and Palace
in Russia.

There is an air so popular in Rus
STA that it is even more familiar than
their national anthem to the people
OF that great mysterious empire, says
writer in the Travel Magazine. I
have heard it in all part of the cars
dominions. from the Baltic sea to Ber-
Ing strait and from Archangel to the
Caspian; in the glittering palaces of
petersburg and in foul prison dens of
Siberia.
1t Is simple melody in the minor
Key. suggestive, like most Slav music.
OF sorrow and unrest. and it is called
"Matushka," or Mother volga," as
Tor some cryptic reason every Rus
sian, be he noble or nihilist, is taught
from childhood to regard this great
river In the light of maternal rela-
tive. Yet the river is full of sad as.
sociations. for convicts formerly trav-
eled portion of the journey to ST.
IBERIA along Its broad, sluggish stream.
l can never forget the haunting
sweetness of "Matushka volga" as /
heard 1T sung on a prison barge one
quiet summer evening by a party of
fettered politicals banished to the
great lone land of exile. For Mother
Volga" was their last link with home
and the loved ones they might never
meet again.
Fortunately the condemned are now
sent into Asia by the Trans-Siberfan
railroad and the unhappy exile is
spared at least one bitter parting
that from his well beloved mother
Volga."

stockyard Notes.

Nearly half the receipts of cattle
yesterday were Texas cattle consigned
direct to packers.
Hay making, work in corn fields and
hot weather have led producers to neg
lect marketing calves, especially the
dressed carcasses, which usually find
their way to the South Water street
market in large numbers, and this has
resulted in an unusual shortage in the
available veal supply. Hence city
butchers, shippers and packers were
compelled to come here for supplies
and as arrivals do not make an in
crease to correspond with the broaden
ed outlet, materially advanced values
were inevitable.
Conditions existing in the sheep mar
ket week ago are now exactly re-

was the case then, big nations are
