LinCOIn'S Gettysburg
Speech

"Four score and seven years
ago our fathers brought forth
upon this continent new nation,
conceived in liberty and dedicat-
ed to the proposition that all
men are created equal.
"New we are engaged in a
great civil war, testing whether
that nation, or any nation so
conceived and so dedicated, can
long endure. We are met On a
great battlefield of that war.
We are met to dedicate a portion
of it as the final resting place of
those who here gave their lives
that that nation might live. 1t
is altogether fitting and proper
that we should do this.
"But in a larger sense we can
not dedicate, we cannot conse-
crate, we cannot hallow this
ground. The brave men. living
and dead, who struggled here
have consecrated it far above our
power to add or detract. The
world will little note nor long
remember what we say here, but
it can never forget what they
did here. 1t Is for Us, the living,
rather to be dedicated here to
the unfinished work that they
have thus far SO nobly carried
on. 1t is rather for US to be here
dedicated to the great task re-
naming for US: that from these
honored dead we take increased
devotion to the cause for which
they here gave the last full
measure of devotion; that we
here highly resolve that the dead
shall not have died in vain; that
the nation shall, under God, have
a new birth of freedom, and that
government of. the people, by
the people, and for the people,
shall not perish from the EARTH z

MORT ON TALKED WITH THE
PRESIDENT

Senator George w. Norton,
who is down from Mohawk, was
at the Grand Canyon on the 10th,
and had the pleasure of meeting
President Taft personally. Col.
Norton was called there at the
instance Of Fl. W. Oppman, the
millionaire promoter of the
Grand Canyon Scenic Railway.
Col. Norton is very familiar with
the advantageous features Of this
project, having secured the
adoption OLA memorial by the
last legislature asking congress
to grant right of way over Ger:
tain sections of the Grand Can
yon reserve for the railway. He
was therefore the very man to
put up to the president, whose
signature will be required to the
bill if it pass. President Taft
gave Col. Norton three minutes
of his time, which was fully oc:
cupied by the Yuma county
senator, but with what effect up:
on the president remains yet to
be seen, as, though very attent:
i've and respectful, he gave no
sign of approval or disapproval
of the project.

it's kind in the country.

Its kind in the country.
Since its completion many
prominent engineers of the Unit
ed States and several from other
nations have visited the site.
The erratic stream has several
times spent it's fury in vain
against the obstruction which
man has placed in it's channel,
but the severe tests which the
dam has withstood are evidences
that it was built to stay. For
the season of 1909 the Colorado
river has had the greatest food
discharge known since records
have been kept. During the
height of the summer flood the
discharge reached a maximum of
$50, 900 second feet. Since the
annual summer flood two others
have occurred, the last in Sep
TENDER, which is ordinarily low
water month, reaching a maxi
mum discharge of over $4,000
second-feet. Since then the river
has fallen rapidly and is now
well below 10000 second feet.
The dam since its completion
last March has been constantly
submerged and has passed thro'
the severe initiation successfully.
Work is now in progress on the
main canal excavation on the
California side. This canal for
the first mile passes through a
rock hill and will be IS feet wide
on the bottom. The excavation
of rock in this part of the sys-
tenn amounts to nearly 200, 900
cubic yards.
The gates of the sluiceway on
the California side, which have
been closed through the summer,
pending the completion of re-
inforced concrete apron at the
apron at the mouth of the sluice-
way, were opened the first of
October, and it is estimated that
more than $4,000 cubic yards of
silt and sand which had .accumu-
lated behind them were sluiced
away during the first five hours
after the gates were opened.
These gates are three in number
and are each 18 by 33 feet in di-
mansions. They are the largest
gates of the kind ever built in
this country.
A large force of teams is work
ing on the canals on the indian
reservation Immediately below
the dam on the California side of
the river, and approximately IT,.
900 acres of land will be ready
for irrigation soon after the FIRST
of the year. Previous to that
period the secretary of the int
rior will issue formal notice an
nouncing the time and method of
opening these lands to settlers
and the terms of water rights.
The Yuma valley, by reason
of it's long growing season, fer
tile soil and almost tropical
conditions, has aroused wide
spread interest on the part of
homeseekers. When formal no.
tice of opening is given there
will be a tremendous rush of
settlers to this section.
