of Her Recovery Brighten.

DENVER, Col. July 15.-Mrs. Luke
Lea. wife Of Senator Lea Of Tennessee,
lies tonight at the family's summer home,
her present condition being strongly ia
vorable to ultimate recovery as the cul-
mination Of her ocean to mountain race
with what was feared might be approach
ing death
Late today Senator Lea gave out the
following statement:
Mrs. Lea stood the trip well. The
change in climate appears to have been
most beneficial and gives encoura cement
to hope for her ultimate recovery
So quiet was the arrival of the Leas last
night that not even officials of the Union
Pacific, over whose road the special car
travelled from Omaha, knew of the sue
cessful completion of the two-thousand-
mile rail race to save Mrs. LEAFS life. In
the party, besides Senator and Mrs. Lea,
were Mrs. Percy Warner and Mrs.
George Frazer, mother and sister, re-
spectively: DR.. R. D. Frye, Mrs. Lea S
physician, and Miss Shackleford. a nurse.

The body Of Earl Kunst, who committed
suicide in the Hotel Continental early

Lieut.. B. H. Camden, cousin of kunst,

made the arrangements for shipment of
the body.
Kunst, who was known as an author.
had been visitor in Washington at in
tervals for number of years, and had
been here about a week on this last visit
1t was said also that he was probably
away from home to escape unpleasant
ness growing out of the suit for divorce
he recently entered.
When Kunst registered at the st. James
Hotel Friday morning about 5 o'clock
his general appearance attracted the at

Kunst was the author of several novels

siderable money from his writings Rela-
tives say they knew he had peculiarities,
but none Of them, 1t is said, had ever
heard him say anything to lead them to
suspect that he would commit suicide.
Nothing is known by Kunst's friends in
this city of his movements during the
past few days. nor could they suggest
what mail matter Kunst expected Friday
when he paced the floor at the st. James
Hotel and paid numerous visits to the
clerks desk. The young man expected

much annoyed at it's failure to mate

Perhaps he had written his wife for the
purpose of effecting a reconciliation, was
one suggestion made last night while an
other was that he had written his father
for money. The fact that he had but one

expecting money from home.

his cousin for aid or go hungry. Earl
Kunst, however. was not the kind Of a

The country boy-and girl movement

pupils of rural schools, through the Office
of County Superintendent. During the
season of 1910 thirty two counties Joined
in this good work where, in all, some
5000 boys and girls competed. Many of
these grew discouraged as the heat of
summer came on. But there were those
who endured, who through persistent,

over to lessons and demonstrations con-
Quoted by different members of the col

given as this was, could be put into our
public schools, the problem of attendance
in the upper grades and high school
would be solved, and the great exodus of
bright country boys to city and town
would soon be a matter of history.
During the latter part of the after

The main College gymnasium was open
to the boys where every one played in
one or more games of indoor baseball
At the same time the womans gym

the visiting girls where various games
were enjoyed. The Young Mems and

rooms of the city were also thrown open
to members of the Institute and very
much appreciated, This, with an orches-
ira rehearsal, a stereopticon entertain
ment, visit to the Grand Theatre and
trolley ride about the city made up
the principal entertainment features. But
in reality it was all entertainment; the
novelty of the great buildings with their
strange fixtures, the laboratories with
queer apparatus, the green houses, the
aquarium, home of frogs, fishes and
snakes, the museum the wood and iron
shops, the barns with their wealth of
sleek, pure bred animals, the deer park
all contributed to a week crowded full of
keeuest enjoyment and useful instruc-

1t is proposed to construct one

Of. at a future date. constructing an
other line increasing the transmission
capac city and giving additional So
curity against total interruption OF
service.
Load Requirements
A canvass was made in the spring of
1911 of the greater portion of the city
as at present built up. comprising
some $40 city blocks, and 1t was found
that the connected load therein was
approximately 1000 k. W. AZ the in

plates a generating capacity of 1900
k. W. at minimum flow and over 1900
at maximum flow, ii is evident that
there is safe margin for any pos
sible increased demand that might be
made on the plant, due to connec-
tions outside the districts canvsssed.
and to growth of the city during the
period Of construction. OF course, the
actual load on the station will average
but a fraction of the load represented
be connected to the line.
AS shown by the total on page IL,
the development without storage will
give 1850 k. W. at minimum flow.
lille an ultimate canal capacity Of
1000 c. f. s. the generating capacity
will reach 1856 L. w. at maximum
flow, which will necessitate either
storage or reserve power from another
source. to enable this to be supplied
during the three low-water months.
1t is evident that the capacity oi
the proposed development should take
care of the needs of the city for sew
eral years to come. and there Is
possible future enlargement of per-
haps 100 per cent FOR more of the
generating capacity, by extending the
canal to Union Gap and constructing
a plant there.
Estimated Cost of Construction
In preparing this estimate prelim-
mary plans were made and quotations
on the cost of the various items re-
ouired therein were obtained from
reputable supply houses and contract
ors. and the estimate was based upon
these quotations.:

fully, August, September and October
and for these months the effective
| flow is therefore that required by
these irrigation projects, the differ
ence being made up by storage water
The minimum flow is found in Octo-
Der, being $40 c. f. $. With the 40
| C. f. $. taken for the Mckee and
Hubbard irrigation bitches. our ca
nal under these conditions would
have $40 40-SS0 c. t. s. flowing in
it.
On the following page is given
statement of the estimated quantities
of water at minimum flow and max
imum flow, with corresponding hy-
draulic h. p, brake h. p. and kilo-
watts at the plant. These items are
shown for the proposed initial in
stallation of two generating units,
and also for plant capacity of
three generating units which will
utilize the whole water flow un-
less we can arrange to get the BEN
eft of storage ourselves.
In addition. the figures are given
for an ultimate development having
1000 c. rs flowing in the canal, and
having six generating units. This
flow can be had for practically nine
months in the year. When Il amrket
for all this power is obtained, the
three low months can be supplement-
ed either by storage, or by stand
by arrangement using steam or other
power AS ii IS not expected to
reach this point for some years, set
tlemcnt of it at the present time is
not urgent.
The efficiancies used in figuring
the horse powers shown in the table
are as follows:
Turbine efficiency .......'S per cent
Generator efficiency ....95 per cent
These efficicncies are assumed at
conservative values in order to be on
the safe side: as matter OF TACT,
they can be not only readily reached
but can be exceeded in practice.
