J. A. TAWNEY
IS DEFEATED
Sydney Anderson Wins Out in
Primary Election

st. Paul, Sept. 21.-Insurgency was
rampant in Minnesota. 1t defeated
James A. Tawney in the First con.
gressional district and gave two other
congressman a bad scare. F. c. Ste.
vens, in the Fourth district, is renom.
mated by something over 1000 votes
over his opponent, Hugh T. Halbert
and F. NJ. Nye, in the Minneapolis dis
trict, is renominated by less than 1000
votes. c. A. Lindberg, the insurgent
member in the Sixth district, won
over P. H. McGarry by landslide. c
B. Miller, Halvor STEVENSON and w
S. Hammond, the other three mem
bers that had contests, won easily.
Sidney A. Anderson of Lanesboro
Tawney's opponent, claims the nomi
nation by 1000, and Tawney, while
not conceding defeat. admits that the
outlook is bad. At the Tawney head
quarters, 112 precincts heard from out
of 271 gave Anderson a lead of no
votes. At this rate through the dis
trict Anderson would have 1000 ma
jority
Sidney Anderson said that he would
carry the district by 1000 majority.
He said that reports which had
reached his headquarters were to the
effect that he had carried Fillmore
county by 500, Olmsted county by
500 and Dodge county to 1. 1t also
was reported that Freeborn would
give him 700 to 800 majority. Ander-
son said that a report from Winona
from Tawney's managers conceded
landslide for Anderson.
The following dispatch was received
from Winona:
Headquarters in Gloom.
"The Tawney headquarters are in
gloom. They admit the vote indicates
a desperate battle. Early returns
placed Anderson in the lead and he
has maintained it throughout, grad
ually increasing his lead, and there
apparently is little hope of overcom-
ing it. They are not claiming the
county of Winona by more than coo
or 700, while two years ago 1t went
1850. The closeness of the battle
with several of the Tawney strong
holds to be heard from prohibits esti-
mates with any degree of accuracy"
Sixty-nine of the 271 precincts give
Tawney 1926 and Anderson 3,S2S.
The lead steadily increases.

GREAT DAM SOON
To Be OPENED
Water Will Be Turned Onto Desert
That Will Be Transformed Into
5000 Farms. Z

PHENIX, Ariz, May l9.-Uncle
Sans most unique reclamation pro-
ject, the stupendous feat OF engineer
ing In the SAT- river valley, Arizona,
will be completed next month.
Early In June the last stone will be
laid on the wonderful Roosevelt dam,
where once stood the town OF Roose'
welt. A few weeks later the small dis
tributing canals will be completed and
the water will be ready TO turn onto
desert that will In a few short years
be transformed into 5000 or more
fruitful farms.
The Roosevelt dam pens up the
waters OF the Salt river about seventy
miles northeast OF Phenix. There
the river runs through narrow gorge,
across which the huge barrier OF stone
and cement stretches TO a length OF
over 1000 feet. II Is 2S4 feet high
and at its base Is l6S feet thick, grad
ually narrowing to 20 feet at the crest.
Work on the dam was begun Ave
years ago, the government starting
then TO manufacture the cement which
was used to hold the stones together.
The reservoir created by the dam
Is the largest artificial body OF water
In the world. It's capacity is $1,000
100000 cubic feet and II the water
were spread over Delaware II would
cover the entire surface OF that state
foot In depth.
IL will irrigate 100000 acres of land.
and IL Is estimated by expert agricul-
turists that the crops OF single sea-
son will pay for the entire investment
OF the government, which will have
been about $S.640,000.
Not only will this great dam save
up the water for the dried fields. but
1t will also light the farmers homes.
give them the power for their tele-
phone lines. their mills, and then there
will be enough power left to light the
homes, run the street cars, mills and
factories In the whole city OF Phenix.
At the base of the great dam the
government has erected power
house which will turn the water fall
into electric currents.
Not only will Uncle Sam take care
OF his white children who live In the
Salt river valley, but he will also
pump the water that will moisten 10.
900 acres up in the highlands, where
the bitches cannot carry the flow.
These are the acres where the Pimas
and Maricopas, Indian wards OF the
government, live.
Years ago the white men changed
the current OF the river 70 their own
farms and left the Indians high and
dry down stream. Since then the red
men have become vagabonds: that is.
those who didn't die; and IT is the
intention OF the government TO make
some sort of reparation to them now.
and teach them to ccultivate the soil
again.
The big irrigation project will not
be formally opened until autumn. A
movement has gained Roadway In Ari-
IONA to have Col. Roosevelt open the
project on his birthday, Oct. 81.
