So great has been the hustle and
hustle of changing classes during the
past week, and the graduation of sew
eral midyear students and the entrance
of new scholars in practically every
class in the District, that teachers and
school officials have had but little time
to think about their grievances. and
the scholars themselves have almost
forgotten that there are such things
as debates. school plays and many
other forms of school activities.

Power plant for Arkansas Valley.

Pueblo. Fred Anderson and
Chas. l.. Wuertz of New York, expert
engineers said to represent Eastern
capitalists have been in this section
several days procuring data and max
ing estimates for one of the most gi-
gantic power producing plants in the
country and say the scheme contem-
plates the harnessing of the Arkansas
river in the Royal Gorge to secure
power for a plant that will rival the
one at Niagara Falls, and the cele-
brated Shoshone Falls plant. The
plan calls for a huge dam across the
cafion west OF Cafion City. which will
be at least 1000 feet high. This
would give power to furnish electri-
city to make Pueblo and other cities
in the Arkansas valley great manu-
featuring centers. provide for an in
terurban system over the entire south
ern part Of the state. and to light the
entire valley.

Niagara Falls, n. Y Lincoln
Beachey, with the whir of his biplane
motor drowned in the roar of the cata-
ract and man and machine momenta-
rily obscured in spray and mist, the
California aviator after circling above
the falls, swooped beneath the arches
OF the upper steel bridge and down
the gorge almost to the whirlpool.
Rising again between the sides OF
the lower river, Beachey scared TO the
Canadian side, where he made sue
cessful landing. 1t was :he first time
that bird-man had cut through the
air currents and mist clouds and
leaping foam caused by Niagara Falls
and rapids.
To add to the difficulties of Beach
ey's flight, light rain began to fall
as he took his seat in the biplane
shortly before o'clock. He mounted
upwards, moving always in the direc-
tion of the cataract, and when he
crossed the American Falls he was
about 1000 feet in the air.
In great sweeping circle he
swung tOWdTu lue hoi III Gnu O'NA 49,
Horse Shoe falls.
Down the river he flew, almost to
the lower steel arch bridge, two miles
below the falls, then coursed to the
west and south again, always drop
ping as he circled.
On his second circle he went well
to the southwest before beginning his
low flight toward the upper steel arch
bridge, under which he was to pass.
Swinging again to the north and trav'
cling about fifty miles an hour, he
went probably not more than 200 feet
over the Horse Shoe and through its
spray.
Once over the cataract he lowered
his plane and rushing with the wind
at a speed estimated at sixty miles an
hour. he dipped quickly under the
arch.
AS he did so he caught some of the
wash off the outlet of the power tun-
mel which shoots over the rocky side
of the precipice.
At no time from his final dip until
he was clear of the structure was the
biplane more than thirty feet above
the spume.
The space through which he flew Is
16s feet high and barely 100 feet from
side to side. This distance from the
brink of the falls to the bridge in
which he made the dip is about 400
yards.
Beachey will repeat the flight. The
crowd was estimated at $50, 900 per-
sons.
