Laguna Dam.

The weir, popularity known as Laguna
Dam, which forms the main engineer
ing feature of the PROJECT, extends
across the Colorado river from the
granite hills in Arizona tc those in
California, at n point about fourteen
miles above Yuma. The type of weir.
just completed, originated on irrigation
work in India over fifty years ago, and
since that time many similar structures
have been erected in that country.
During the past fifteen years three such
weirs have been built across the river
Nile in Egypt. Some of these struct-
ures are of great length, one across the
Some in India being over l., 600 feet, or
| more than two and one-half times the
length of Laguna Dam. They cross
rivers similar in character TO the Colo
RADIO, having much more violent floods,
One of the rivers has Il maximum dis
charge OF about 900, 900 second-feet, or
seven times the highest recorded food
of the Colorado. When all conditions
are considered the Laguna weir has
more ample dimensions than the struct-
ures above referred 30. I.aguna Dam
Is over 400 feet, or nearly one mile in
length. 1t is composed of rock fill
between parallel walls Of concrete ex-
tending entirely across the stream from
rock abutments ON the one side To those
on The other. These walls extend from

The Main Canai.

This structure feayes Laguna Dam
on the California side and for the en-
tire distance To Yuma passes through
the Yuma indian reservation. About
ose and ope-ha!f miles below the dam
Is favorable site for power house,
and conditions are such that q drop can
here be made in the canal from which
electrical energy May be developed.
When she fatare extension TO s5e mesa
land is made the power here created
will be sufficient for pumping 70 about
80 per cent OF the area SO added, thus
greatly reducing the cost of supplying
these lands with wafer. Continuing
below the proposed power site the ca
nal passes to the Colorado river at the
upper end of the proposed siphon. This
portion Of she canal will have bottom
width of about 80 feet; water depth
of feet, and an estimated velocity OF
2t feet per second, which will allow all
suspended matters that haye passed
the controlling works at the bead TO be
passed on to the irrigated fields and
not remain to clog the canals. The
canal will cross under the Colorado
river by means of q depressed struct-
ure known as an inverted siphon. Bor-
ings made recently along the probs BILE

that the river bed is undertake by sand
stone at such reasonable depth that

tanned, when the tunnelling across the

II isn't always safe TO trust ap-
pearances, as two young women
learned TO their chagrln on a trolley
trip out in Jersey.
Two other young women with a
man between them were seated on
the opposite side OF the car. They
were silent three, the young wom-
en- and the man, but they talked ex.
citedly-with their fingers. Deaf
nutes, evidently. the other young
women thought. and after they had
got a little used TO the novelty they
began to talk out loud about the
young man and his companions.
Isn't II a pity" said one. that such
a nice young man should he deaf
and dumb?"
The other agreed audibly. and the
talk went on. AS is the way with
the sex, there was little commisera-
tion for the young women afflicted
as the young man was.
The young man got his revenge
for himself and his friends. Arrly-
ing at the point he wished to en-
bark, he raised his hand to the con-
ductor and said in a loud voice:
Stop at - street. please"
The young women who trusted to
appearances looked mighty sheeplsh
as the three left the car. The young
man wasn't deaf and dumb at all.
His companions were, and he was
simply talking to them in their own

fer under treaty. There ought to be
the utmost caution in that regard, and
by no means agree with those gentle
men who believe that we can confer all
sorts of rights, such as were claimed
relative to the situation in California
recently, but to the extent that we can
confer rights, having done it, we ought
to be prepared to enforce those rights
l believe in state law and in state SOW
ereignty but the matter of the treaty
making power we gave to the Federal
overnment, and expressly prohibited it
to the states. We did it because it was
necessary that all the States should
speak with one voice, that they should
deal with foreign countries through one
government, and having dealt that way
that one government ought to have the
power to enforce it's decree. No inno-
cent may need fear this. 1t relates

plause on the Democratic side.D
MR.. HENRY of Texas. Take the
case of the Japanese and the Chinese
in the State of California, where their
children were sent to the oriental
schools in San Francisco. The Japa-
nese raised considerable controversy
over the matter; and there was conten-
ton that they had the right under a
treaty with the United States to enter
the white schools in the city of San
Francisco and the State of California
They went into court and insisted up
on that right, and they undertook to
go into these schools and claimed that
there was discrimination against them
conspiracy would be alleged against
the board or anyone, acting by their
direction, who required them to go in a
separate school. Under this act,
could they be compelled to go into
the separate schools?
MR.. JENKINS of Wisconsin. Let
me answer that question in my own
way. 1 want to say to my friend, long
!, before the opening of Congress, when
that question arose, gave an interview
to the newspapers of this country and
stood for the State of California against
the Federal government. l want the
House to understand me on that sub
ject so far as that question is con-
cerned every State can and ought to
have the absolute right to say who
shall enter their schools (applause);
and we all remember the Federal gov
eminent, after taking a position, aban-
doned it.
MR.. HENRY of Texas. l remember
that there was considerable discussion
on the matter, and the Chinese and ia
panese tried to send their children to
the white schools in California. Suits
were brought, and they were denied the
right.
MR.. JENKINS. The suits were aban-
doned. That has absolutely nothing
to do with this.
MR.. HENRY, of Texas. Let me sug-
gest that the legislature of the State
of California appropriated $4,000 to
prosecute litigation in order that the
Chinese and Japanese might be kept
out of these schools and make them at
tend their own.
