DISC0VERE2 OF MARSHALL
PASS TO INSPECT PROJECTS

Washington. July -Brigadier
General William L. Marshall. who re-
Gently retired as chief of engineers of
the army, was appointed today con-
sulting engineer Of the secretary of
the interior in the reclamation ser
vice. The position was created by
Secretary Ballinger to assist him in
solving the engineering problems in
completing reclamation projects now
under way
II was said at the interior depart
ment that the new officer would not
supplant + II Newell, director of the
reclamation service. whose fate has
been the subject of much speculation
ever since the lines were drawn be
tween the Garfield and Ballinger ad-
ministrations.
II was explicitly stated that General
Marshalls appointment did not indi-
cate any change in the personnel of
the field force of the reclamation
service, inasmuch as he would have
no supervision over the operations of
the service or over the designing Of
construction work. He would act
IT was said, in an advisory capacity
to the secretary of the interior.
The creation of the new position
was in accord with the wishes of the
president, and was in harmony with
the plan Of inspection by army en-
gineers of existing reclamation prof
ects as provided by the new law. The
act provides for the appointment of
a board of five engineers from the
engineer corps of the army to inspect
the reclamation works, reporting di-
rectly to the president President
Taft has the appointment of this
board now under consideration.
The board will serve in an advisory
capacity to the president, while Cen
eral Marshall will occupy a similar
position to the secretary of the in
terror
General Marshall, who in his new
position will receive a salary of 81
500 yearly. was placed on the retired
list on June II last after a disting-
uished career as an engineer. He was
famous for his discovery of Marshall
pass, across the Rocky mountains,
and of the gold placers of Marshall
basin Of the San Miguel river in
Colorado.
He participated in the construction
of levees in Mississippi. Louisiana and
Arkansas, and supervised the work
