TUNNEL DRIVING
RECORDS BROKEN
AQUEDUCT GANGS, IN A RACE,
LOWER ALL RECORDS
ELIZABETH LAKE TUBE TO BE
DONE YEAR AHEAD
Fast Boring to Save City over $780,
oo0-Bonus System in Vogue
Responsible for
Rapidity

Smashing Of worlds records for tun-
mel driving has been characteristic of
the work on the Elizabeth Lake tun-
mel on the Owens riverN aqueduct, but
the workmen at both portals surpassed
themselves when, for the twenty-eight
days of February, they drove 1O45 feet
in both headings. The North Portal
gand, under John Gray, drove 529 feet
and the South Portal crew, under Will
liam Aston, Sic feet. One of the in
teresting features of the fast work is
that Gray is a miner with technical
knowledge of engineering gained in
schools, while Aston is a highly edu-
Gated engineer.
The North Portal gang made a new
United States record for tunneling
through hard rock last October when
it drove 547 feet, but that month had
thirty-one days, while February had
only twenty-eight
The entire length of the tunnel is
26,S63 feet and of this 1928 feet have
been bored. At the rate of speed that
has been maintained since the hard
rocw work began the tunnel will be
completed a year before the estimated
time. Not only will the time be short
ened, but the cost is much less than
the estimate. The work has been done
at an average cost of $39 a foot, while
the estimate Of the board of engineers
was SAC a foot This represents a saw
ings on the whole job of $4,000.
There is still about 5000 feet of the
tunnel to bore and the competition be-
tween the north and south portals
grows keener every day. Both gangs
are working to pass the dividing line
first. Grays gang has bored S647 feet
of the tunnel and Aston's S616 feet.
There is only the difference of a days
work between them.
The rapidity of the work is attribut-
ed by the board of public works to the
bonus system employed in paying the
men. A certain amount of boring is
laid out as a days work and the men
receive a regular days pay for doing
that amount of work. For all they do
over that in a day they receive extra
pay. This system not only encourages
the men to work faster, but accom-
plishes a large saving in the cost of
the tunnel.

YUMA FARM APPLICANTS
DECREASING IN NUMBER
Local Land Office Force Fears Great
Rush Last Few Days Will
overtax Capacity

Business at the government land Of
fee is decreasing, but Receiver Robin
son is inclined to view ii as the lull
before the storm. Hundreds of appli-
cations, numbers for which were OBJ
tained by crowds that surged into the
Shrine auditorium March 1, have not
yet put in an appearance, and this has
given rise to the fear among the local
land office officials that during the last
few days of the Yuma opening their
filing capacity will be overtaxed.
For every farm unit, with the excep-
tion of five, there are four or five ap-
plicants. 1t became known yesterday
that the government reservation
tract, marked in the center of the map,
was reserved for a government farm.
Some annoyance has been caused by
naturalized citizens failing to take GER
titled copies of their naturalization
papers with them when appearing for
the submittance of an entry.
Habit serves the good as readily as
the bad.

DELINQUENT CORPORATIONS
FILING ANNUAL REPORTS
Attach Excuses to Papers ExpIairino
Why They DID No Obey
Law. Sooner

Many corporations that were delin-
quent in filing their annual reports to
the internal revenue collector by
March l, as required by the new law.
are now sending in their reports at a
rapid rate with excuses attached to
them explaining why their official
heads did not report earlier Collector
Parker is Of the opinion that within a
week not more than 150 corporations
will remain delinquent.
Corporation lawyers are uncertain az
to just what the penalty imposed upon
those organizations that have come in
few days late will be. If stringent
measures are taken by Uncle Sam on
these tardy ones of few days he will
find big job on his hands, for there
are thousands Of corporations through
out the United States that failed to re-
port by the stated time.

ing.
George c.. Olmstead, who has been

Hastings, turns his ,uncle's home into
a rooming house and promises all
the comforts of home to those who
apply for lodging. This is, of course,
to further certain interests of his own,
and some very amusing complications
occur. Then there is Fiji Oritanskf, a
comic opera star of the first magnitude,
who causes q. little domestic fracas
between Theodore Bender and his
spouse. The dramatis personae are as
follows: Alfred Hastings, P%ettibone's
nephew, DIR. Joe Chandler; Tom Nc
Dow, protege of Alfred's, Merrill Hurd;
Theodore Bender. a retired produce
dealer, Benjamin Adams: Josephine
Bender, his wife, Miss Lois Eddowes;
Eyangeline Bender, his daughter, Miss

mann; Roeabelle Pettibone, his second

HIS WELCOME FOR PRODIGAL
Cowboy Would Have Reversed Pro-

Scriptures.

Judge Ben b. Lindsey of the famous
Denver Juvenile court said In the
course of a recent address in char
lty:
TOO many of us are inclined to
think that, one misstep made, the boy
Is gone for good. Too many of us are
like the cowboy.
"An itinerant preacher preached to
cowboy audience on the 'Prodigal
Son. He described the foolish prodi-
gals extravaganza and dissipation; he
described his penury and his husk-
eating with the swine In the sty; he
described his return, his fathers low
Ing welcome, the rejoicing, and the
preparation of the fatted calf.
THE preacher in his discourse no
ticed a cowboy staring at him very
hard. He thought he had made con-
vert, and addressing the. cowboy per-
sonally, he said from the pulpit:
my dear friend, what would you
have done If you had had prodigal
son returning home like that?

and fiercely, I'd have shot the boy

reservoir and then rapidly drawn of

land with the same quantity of water
than would be possible with small
irrigator recognizes. Moreover, by
use of reservoir II is possible to ir-
rigate profitably a much larger area

would otherwise be possible, since the
plant may pump water into the reser.
