age enterprise. sixty miles or more
above the lands TO be irrigated. The
distributing system is no less interes.
ing though no one feature is so great.
The water released from the dam runs
down the river channel for nearly so
miles to Granite reef, a point Just be-
low the confluence Of the Verde and
Salt rivers, where a concrete weir
dam 900 feet Ion and 2S feet high,
diYerts water through a main canal on
either side of the river, to numerous
canals below, covering the entire reser-
voir district The allotment of funds
for this project to date is about nine
millions, and it may take two mil
lions more TO fully complete all con-
templated work. The toll in human
lives has been II at Roosevelt and
at Granite Reef, as near as can be
ascertained, through mechanical acci-
dents and drowning.
The work to be done will include
several plans for development of hydro
electric power at favorable places
along the canals, the power to be used
mainly in developing an auxiliary irri-
cation water supply pumped from the
vast underground resources. 1t is cal
culated that the reservoir, or gravity
flow, will eventually water 10000
acres and that $4,000 acres will be
watered by pumps.

WOLGAST RETAINS TITLE
IN BOUT WITH MEMSIC

Vernon Arena, Los Angeles, CAL,
Mar. 1S-7Ad Wolgast retained his
title of lightweight champion in his
scheduled 20-round fight yesterday aft
ernoon with George Memsic of Los An
geles, virtually knocking Memsic out
and causing the referee to stop the
fight in the ninth round.
Wolgast outclassed Memsic from
start to finish and the result was new
er in doubt. He had the Los Angeles
man helpless in the ninth, and Referee
Feyton stopped the contest in accord
ance with his promise to District At
torney Fredericks that he would in
| tervene the moment either man show
ed weakness.
With the largest crowd that has ever
attended boxing contest at Vernon.
there was prospect for a time that
there would be no fight. With both
/ preliminaries over, representatives of
| District Attorney Fredericks pushed
their way through the crowd and an
nounced as the affair was to be a
prize fight it violated the law and must
be stopped
A hurried consultation followed. Man
ager McCarey exhibited the articles
which called only for a boxing con-
test, the district attorney was called
on the telephone, and after being as
sured it would not be prize fight, he
permitted the contest to go on.
After sparring about the ring in the
first round, Memsic rushed and landed
wild swing on the jaw. Wolgast fell
into clinch and Memeis threw him
to the floor The champion sat in a
dazed manner for a second, then slow
ly arose.
Neither had advantage in the sec
ond or third, but afte rthis it was all
Wolgast. Memcis gradually lost his
steam from the end of the sixth
During the last few rounds Wolgast
battered his opponent at will, landing
heavily on the body in the clinches
and pecking continually at the face.
Blood showed on Memsic's nose in the
second round, and in the seventh his
right eye was almost closed.
The tide of the battle took a decis-
siye turn in the fifth after the hardest
rally of the fight The boys mixed it
on the ropes and Wolgast came out of
thi sstronger. After that Memsic land
ed but few effective blows. Wolgast
showed up strong. He did not appear
tired at any stage and fought with
confidence. His reputed bad arm was
as good as ever.
The principals in the Wolgast-Mem-
sic fight have been arrested on a
charge of participating in prize fight.
