can account for only 1900 federal
troops in Chihuahua. The authorities
ask reports to be sent broadcast that

mobbed for his forgetfulness" con-
cludes the correspondent.

CL|MAL CONES
At MEET MONDAY
Rugby's School Troubles Will
Be Thoroughly Aired at
That Time

Rugby. n. D., March 1s.-Rugby's
school fight, which has become so in
teresting that it has attracted more
than local interest. will reach It's cli-
max Monday when mass meeting Of
the voters of the city will be held. At
that time it is expected that the situa-
tion will be very thoroughly discussed.
The fight grows out of the action of
the city board of education in dis
charging Prof. W. NJ Scott. the super
intendent. The fight also involves
other features.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1911-03-18

that is most necessary but will be
least used, and the largest of all, Is
known as the sluicing tunnel. or
tunnel No. 1. 1t was driven through
the solid mountain circling the south
end of the site, at the river level, be-
fore the construction of the dam be-
gan. 1t will be used for sluicing
silt, II necessary, and for releasing
q larger irrigation supply than the
penstock furnishes. IL needed, when
the water elevation in the reservoir
is below the entrance to tunnel No.
Among the earliest construction
features was the building of a freight
road sixty miles long from Mesa
City, the nearest available railroad
point, to the Roosevelt dam site. OF
this, twenty-five miles is across a
desert and thirty-eight miles through
the most impressive mountain seem
cry in the west. The road was con-
structed for permancy and though as
crooked as knotted rope and often
winding around the face of cliff,
1t is as fine q thoroughfare as city
street.
Distribution System
The foregoing constructions con-
stitute the larger features Of the
storage enterprise, sixty miles or
more above the lands to be irrigated.
The distributing system is no less in
teresting though no one feature is
SO great. The water released from
the dam runs down the river chan
mel for nearly sixty miles to Granite
Reef, point justb Glow the con-
fiuence of the Verde and Salt rivers,
where a concrete weir dam 1000 feet
long and thirty-eight feet high, d.
verts water through main canal on
either side of the river, to numerous
canals below. covering the entire
reservoir district. The allotment Of
funds for this project is about So
100000, and it may take $4,000
more to fully complete all contem-
plated work. The toll in human lives
has been seventeen at Roosevelt and
five at Granite Reef, as near as can
be. ascertained, through mechanical
accidents and drowning.
The work to be done will include
several plans for development OF hy-
dro-electric power at favorable
places along the canals, the power
to be used mainly in developing an
auxiliary irrigation water supply
pumped from the vast underground
resources. 1t is calculated that the
reservoir, or gravity flow, will event.
ually water 100000 acres and that
$4,000 acres will be watered by
pumps.
