TAFT STARTS WATER.
"Opens Gates to Famous Gunnison
Tunnel in Colorado.


Montrose, Colo, Sept. 24.-Presi
cent Taft spent yesterday on the west
ern slope OF the Rocky mountains annie
succession of magnificent scenes. n
many respects his day was one of the
most interesting he has had since leav
ing Boston.
Late in the afternoon Mr.. Taft stood
on the brink of the deepest irrigation
ditch In the West and far out in the
100 NIL OF the mountains, with not a
settlement in sight made the cleo
trlcai connection that started flow of
water through the Gunnison tunnel
that will reclaim lao, 600 acres of arid
land: The greatest irrigation project
the United States government ever has
undertaken was thus put in operation
ana the opening was the occasiopl of
a Joyous celebration throughout the
valley of the Uncompahyre.
During his travels yesterday the
President had ample opportunity In
study the effect of irrigation. For q
long time his train ran through stretch
es OF country where as far as the eve
could reach the only vegetation in
sight consisted of few greasewood
bushes or sagebrush. The, out of >
rocky canyon the train would suddenly
come upon a veritable oasis. where
fields of alfalfa and miles of orchards
told OF the miracle wrought by the
touch of water.
The tunnel has been hewn through
Six miles of mountain range and
when the project is completed next
spring it will divert the waters of the
Gunnison river, now flowing to the
Gun OF California. to the valley on
this side of the mountains. where
minor private projects of irrigation
already have told the wonders of the |
soil.

Taft and Diax.


III Paso, Tex, Sept. 23.--The dis
covery tonight of bomb in . resi-
dence in course Of erection in Juarez
ACROSS the border in Mexico, caused a
sensation.
The authorities were notified and 10
workmen we're placed In incommuni-
cado. It was first reported the bomb
WAS found in the rear of the customs
house, where President Taft and Pregi-
deat Diaz are to meet October 16. hit

ties.
The residence of Camille Arpuelles
where the bomb was found, is q block
from the customs house, where the
meeting of the presidents is to take
place. A visit by President Diaz to
Arguelles, who is close personal
friend OF Diaz, was thought probable.

lar army in Jusrez, says the object
was small piece of dynamite.
