BIG DAM STILL SAFE---A FALSE
ALARM SENT T---RANCHMEN
AGREE TO WORK ON SUNDAY

Reports received this afternoon by
The Sentinel from Palisade indicate
that the situation at the big dam of
the two irrigation districts is not very
serious today. The dam is in no i'm
mediate danger. The river has been
slowly falling since yesterday even
ing
Tomorrow is the day the Greek
workmen layoff to celebrate one of
their holidays and many ranchmen
have volunteered to take their places
as not an hours delay in the work is
desired, in fact delay of a day in
the work on the dam might prove
disastrous.
Today's Palisade Tribune declares
that the alarm sounded yesterday
was unnecessary. The Tribune says
in part:
A leak occurred in the Golfer dam
at the head of the intake yesterday
and caused quite little trouble and
considerable hard work before 1t was
discovered and finally fixed All the
people in this section were in touch
with the actual conditions, but about
O'Clock in the afternoon some ire
sponsible person became excited and
sent word TO the telephone exchange
that the dam was about to cave in
and all the men in the valley were
wanted there at once to save it. Sec
retary Mahony at Grand Junction
was also telephoned to have a num-
Der of men ready for instant trans
portation to Palisade.
The excitement spread like Wild
fire and men from all over this part
of the valley rushed to the ground
and rendered their services. They
were informed there were plenty of
men on the ground to take care of
the work and that the break was be-
ing repaired as rapidly as possible.
1t was foolhardy thing to do and
the person who started the report is
deserving of censure

Washington, D. Cone of the
most prominent manufacturers of
railroad supplies in the United States
drifted into Washington the other
day and talked to me and to Chair
man Mann of the committee on inter-
state commerce somewhat in this
fashion:
In 1907 the attacks of the Roose-
velt administration on the railroads
stopped railroad construction all over
the country. Nothing was bought by
a road except what was actually ne
cessary for its Immediate operation.
Steel rails that had been purchased
were stacked and held for the time
when returning prosperity and con-
gressional quietude would permit
their being laid Near my plant on
the Pacific coast there were, in 1908.
nearly miles of locomotives on side
tracks, exposed to the weather, out
of commission and idle.
Now, the political agitation that
led to the entire cessation of railroad
activity in 1907, and produced what
was then called the Roosevelt pan
ic,' is again be ing pressed to the
danger point. 1t means the cessation
once more of railroad building, bet
terment of equipment, and, as rail.
roads are the greatest employing and
purchasing corporations in the Unit
ed States, their prosperity or adver-
sity is reflected in the labor market
of the nation.
ut isn't so much that fair control
of the roads is opposed either by
them or by financial leaders; but the
continual attacks upon them in con-
gress antagonize investors and seri-
ously limit the roads borrowing ca
pacity. That necessarily limits their
ability to build new cars, to straight
en- and improve their lines, to replace
timber trestles with bridges of steel
or stone; and. incidentally, is closes
opportunities of employment to some
hundreds of thousands of American
workmen."
After this outburst of pro-railroad
oratory. | went to the document clerk
in the capitol and asked for full
set of the bills intended to regulate
railroads which had been introduced
and printed at the present session Of
The daily sentinel., 1910-04-30

mass of proposed legislation bearing
on railroads Ii would be no stretch
of the Imagination to say it was d
mass of anti-railroad legislation
That few of the 81 or more varieties
of bills stand any chance of passage
is not important. They are drawn
for home consumption and the con-
stituents down home, when they re-
ceive copies of the proposed meas
ures, are convinced that their repre-
sentative at least is free from the
venal taint of railroad influence.
There are places in the south
where they need and deserve railroad
stations. There are places out in the
northwest and in the southwest
where they want better railroad fa-
cilities-new spurs in the valleys be-
ing opened as a result of the govern
ment activities In the reclamation
service,
OF course, the need for railroad
regulation is notorious. In the house
the other day member asked the
pertinent question why pottery could
be shipped from Liverpool, England.
to Chicago at less charge for freight
than from the potteries at Liverpool,
O., to Chicago. The answer was prac-
tically the old joke-"because we
need the money"
In Berlin year ago I met a man
from Gloucester, Mass. who was do
ing thriving business selling fish
glue, which he could deliver in Ger
many at less cost than the freight
from Gloucester to Chicago. These
curious features of railroad rate
making are difficult of explanation
to the general public and are respon-
sible for much of the anti-railroad
sentiment.
However. they are not to be cor
reoted by indiseriminate raids on
railroad credit-by such a bill, for
example, as that prohibiting roads
from borrowing money for more than
one year without leave from the in
terstate commerce commission. That
, measure, alone, if enacted, would go
far toward putting business where ii
was in the dark days of 1907.

the Tribune office last night was that
the situation is in control and the
work will be pushed vigorously. The
river rose some yesterday but the
cool weather of the evening is likely
to materially affect it.
If you can work on the intake to-
morrow call up the office of r. H.
Bancroft & Co., or the Tribune Of
flee. There is no desire to disappoint
any one, and some check must be
kept on the number of volunteer
workers. About 40 men are wanted.
Yesterdays Clifton Success con-
tanned the following story:
Determined that they will have
water in the Price and Stub bitches
by May 18th and anxious that no de-
/ lay take place due to the announce
ment made that the Greek laborers
on the new intake dam would not
work next Sunday, which is a ma
tional holiday with them, twenty-five
Clifton men Tuesday evening at a
meeting held in the school house,
promised to volunteer on the intake
on that date.
On Wednesday night another meet
ing was held at the school house to
discuss the proposition of getting
water in the ditch, with the board of
directors of the two bitches. Lawyer
Logan who is employed by the Price
ditch, was present. and also the en-
gineer of the work, the latter STANG
that he thought, without a doubt, un-
less unforeseen obstacles arose, wa
ter would be turned in the bitches by
May 10. He stated that he would
like to have so men to take the place
of the Greek laborers who will take
Sunday off. Also fifteen more men
with teams, are wanted so they can
rush the work to completion.
Another meeting has been called
for Wednesday night, May 4th to
organize a water users association
of the lower part of the two districts.

An Ancient Industry.

It would be difficult To say where exactly and at what date the manufac- ture of cotton fabrics began. In com- paratiyely modern times, says Country Life, it has become an industry of i'm portance in Europe. but it has four ished in the east from period too re mote to admit of calculation. The Egyptians certainly used both cotton and linen materials. for fragments of such stuffs have been preserved among the other relics of their ancient civil Nzation, and there is much reason to believe that the elaborate draperies Of the Assyrians were cotton or muslins finely woven and of delicate texture. In China, too. and India the same kinds of material have been the co,n' mon wear of the people from time I'm memorial 1n fact, everywhere through out the ear cotton fabrics were pro- duced and used long before the primi- tive Europeans had begun to develop any of the graces of civilization or in. deed had ceased to be anything but skin clad savages.

Most Awkward.

An old. steady going farmer was ac' customed to ride to the market town upon a rather bad tempered horse.
 One day his man Bob brought the animal, which was especially vicious that morning, to the door, the horse trying to bite and kick and giving a good deal of trouble.
 The farmer mounted the horse with some difficulty and began to walk it out of the yard when Bob, who still entertained i'll feeling against the ami nal, picked up stone and flung it at him with all his force; but, alas, his aim was cratic, and the missile struck his master on the head.
 Half dazed for moment, the farmer turned slowly in his saddle, and. not suspecting the real cause of the blow. he measured with his eye the horse $ hind hoofs and his own head and, set ting himself in the saddle again. started of with the remark, "Well. he allus was an okard beggar."-Londop Scraps.

 One moment we were eating ducks eggs whose blackened. lime favored whites indicated that their age was unimpeachable; the next we were grap- bling with sea weeds, macaroni and the slippery sharks fins that eluded our clumsily manipulated sticks. Now we tackled-not without fear-un- known meats and vegetables cooked in sugar, fresh shrimps, mushrooms from Mongolia, young bamboo sprouts, pi- geons' eggs and hundred different foreign tasting meSses. Then clean plates were given to us, and bowls of sickly pink sirup, sweet potato and Indian corn cakes of dusky hue were set before each one. These were only creviee fillers and concluded the first came the real substantial meal, where in every dish had an accompaniment of smaller ones, containing gravies, etc., in which to dip the morsel taken from the central bowl.
 There was stewed duck cooked with out salt. roast sucking pig, forcemeat balls and chicken; there were soups of birds nest, of mushroom, of vegetables and of sea slugs There was grilled fresh water fish, which, according to custom, was helped from the top side only. for the Chinese remembers his servant. And, finally, at the conclu- sion the inevitable small bowl of rice and rice water was set before each person.
 After some three hours, with a feel ing of thankfulness that all was over, pipes. cigarettes and tea were served, and it seemed to me that the delicious aroma which rose from the latter soothed our senses and almost dis pelled the antipathy that had been growing on us for all things Chinese Mary Moore in London Express.

TESTING FIRE CLAY.

 Fife clay has been III use for cen turtles, and yet | believe tne industry is one which lacks definite laws more than any other. including those which are either modern or ancient and of less prominence. You caS go to a manufacturer of steel and specify what you want by actual figures or statements and you can check the prod uct by chemical analysis or mechanical tests and thus make sure you get what you need, The producer knows how to combine certain clements and what quantities of various kinds to combine in order to get Il result 1t least very closely approaching what you call for, but not so in the fire clay business. In tle past the most skilled and highest salaried chemists have been employed to make tests. to promote and carry through investigations on the natural product and to study the workings of certain manufactured and elaborated articles derived therefrom The result has been, generally speaking. confusion worse confounded. Two professors, working at similar times on brick or clay obtained from the same source and manufactured under exactly equal conditions. have recorded diametrically opposed conclusions. The same scien- lists at different periods have reached vastly varying conclusions when test ing identical qualities and shapes of bricks, so can you wonder if q promi nent fire clay manufacturer should eX- claim. as l heard one on an occasion after having the above experience. All tests of fire clay are empirical, and 1 would sooner trust our supcrintcnd- ent to pick and select his clays in the old fashioned way than pay a high fee for q hi"hbrow's recommendations ?' The chief method of testing fire clay by practical man is literally to eat it. He can detect grit and sand best by that method, and a good fire clay free from silica, quartzite or flint clay) is free from grit.

PURVEYORS TO ROYALTY.

 The American in London. on his first visit to that marvellous city. is struck by the number of signs over shops with the royal arms painted thereon and announcing that the tradesman is a purveyor 10 their majeSties. Yet, when the matter is sifted, the number is not so large.
 Officially. according to the London News, there are about 200 tradesmen in London who hold the royal warrant as shop sign, with tile accompanying words. By royal appointment The royal warrant has to be received. signed and sealed in due form; other. wise. if d tradesman styles himself a purveyor to d member of the royal family without this formal permission. he is guilty of an offense which is punishable fly d fine not exceeding f2O.
