Reservoir Breaks; Damage is Heavy

Grand Junction.-The Atkinson res

many cattle. 1t washed out hay

enough to do considerable damage to

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 huge dam across the
canon west Of Canon 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.

Irregularities Charged.

Leadville.-State Public Examiner
H. j. Leddy having found irregulari-
ties in the accounts of some of the Of
ficers of Lake county, will probably
institute suits to recover the money
alleged to have been wrongfully used
or to criminal prosecution where such
step is possible.
In some cases the irregularities, it
is alleged, were caused by the ignor-
ance of the law and in other cases
they are set down as pure graft.
Leddy says that for the past ten
years the clerk of the Board of Coun.
ty Commissioners has been paid a
salary of s2,400 per annum. Attorney
General Benjamin Griffith has rem
dered an opinion to the effect that,
according to the statutes. the clerk
should receive S. day for every
meeting held. If meeting was held
every day in the year, it would mean
that he would be entitled to only
1885 a year. In that case there is
due the county $3.50 for illegal dis
bursements to the clerk during the
ten years. Leddy alleges that the
board has never held more than
twelve meetings a month and aggre-
gately there is owing the county some.
thing like $4,000.
In the sheriff's office Leddy claims
to have found the most fragrant of the
irregularities. During the year 1909
he found that the county commission
ers had paid for the following expen-
ditures of the sheriff: kilograms,
$454; hack hire, s1,313; railroad fare.
'$462; sleeper, $102; and during the
year 1910, kilograms. sos; hack hire,
$3.50, and carfare, $17S.
Leddy alleges that not only were
these bills excessive, but that there is
not single receipt on file with the
county commissioners for the moneys
paid to the sheriff for the expendi-
