Santa Ee Tax Suit.

Denver.-In the Federal Court suits
have been started by the Attchison.
Topeka a. Santa Fe railway to prevent
the collecting by the County Commis-
sioners and other officials OF Otero and
FL Paso counties OF alleged exhorbitant
taxes for the year 1910. An injunction Is
asked to restrain the officials OF these
counties from in any way interfering
with the railroad in their respective
counties. and an order is prayed that
the 1910 taxes to be paid by the rail
road shall not exceed $l7,675 in Otero
county or $13.9l6.s2 in El Paso county.
In both suits 1t is charged that. by
agreement between the State Board OF
Equalization and the assessors OF all
the counties in the state. the railroad
assessments were fixed at one-third
their actual value, and that the total
valuation was pro-rated among the
counties through which the railroad
ran. II is further charged that in the
case of the Santa Fe. the two coun-
ties named deliberately Disseminated
against the Santa Fe by making the
assessment higher than that OF any
other railroad.

Aviator Breaks Worlds Record.

Chicago.-A new altitude mark for
aviators was set by Oscar A. Brindley
by arising 11.72G feet in Wright bi-
plane.
The worlds record was 10.761 feet
made by NJ. Jordan at Mourmelon.
France. July s. 1911.
Capt. Felix flew to a height of H.
152 feet as Etampes, France, recent
ly. but his flight has not been made
official.
Ralph Johnstone set the American
mark at Belmont Park, n. Y, Oct. 3.
1910, at 10.476 feet.
Brindley's Paragraphs were correct
ed by Capt. Clarence Culver OF the
Fifth cavalry and certified by the ex'
ecutive committee on the internation'
al meet as correct.
International rules Of aviation as
stated by G. F. c. Wood, secretary OF
the Aero Club OF America, provide that
an aviator must fly at least 32S feet
higher than any previous record before
he shall have been declared to have
established new record. Brindley was
shown to have beaten Capt. Felix, the
holder OF the former worlds record
with several hundred feet to spare.

Worlds Highest Dirt Dar.

Florence.-Plans have been .iled in
the office of State Engineer Comstock
for what II completed will be the high
est earth dam in the world. The pro
posed dam is to be erected on Hard
scrabble creek and it is planned to
make 1t 210 feet in height. The high
est earth dam on record was construct
ed in Mexico and was $50 feet in
height. 1t was not successful piece
of work and was washed away.
1t is figured that the Hardsci abble
dam will cost well over $500.0o0. II
will contain roughly 1,750,0O0 cubic
yards OF earth. 1t is necessary to
build 1t to so great height in order
that a sufficiently large amount CT wa
ter may be stored. 1t will be over J.,
900 feet in length.
The Hardscrabble Irrigation Dis
trict which plans the construction oil
the dam, is located in the southern
part of Fremont and northern Custer
county, a few miles south Of Florence
1t is planned to put water on a large
area Of land by the construction of the
giant dam. 1t will be built at an ele
walton of 6,456 feet above sea level.
