mails had been liberated and turned loose
to roam the streets. and then those who
were engaged in the rescue work under
took to save the vehicles that were in
the stable. While the fire was raging in
one part of the structure men and boys
were at work in other parts saving NOV
able property.
Blaze Confined to Stable.
Firemen reached the building quickly.
but not until after the flames had gained
sufficient headway to doom the struc-
| ture and threaten the destruction Of
other property. They were able to confne
the blaze TO the stable. however, and
only the smoke from the conflagration
reached other buildings.
Open windows Of the Y. NJ. c. A. and
other buildings resulted In smoke pour
ing through them and causing alarm, but
the officials of the Y M. c. A. declare
there was no excitement In that building.
No panic was caused by the smoke pour

stable and that there was scarcely any
likelihood that ii would spread to their
building.
While on the way to the fire members
of the fire department encountered many
of the liberated horses. which retarded
their progress All night long men en-
ployed in the stable were engaged In
rounding up the animals. All were found
and temporarily provided for in the
Speedway stables.

The fire originated in the loft. proba-
bly, from spontaneous combustion. and

about 5000. while the damage to feed

TO the extent OF $1,000. All the losses are
covered by insurance. Chief Wagner.
who was on hand directing the work Of
the firemen, stated this morning the Y. NJ.
c. A. building was not In danger from
the blaze
Recalling a stable fire on the same site
| eighteen years ago and one other later
when many horses were burned, Chief
Wagner said the department has dis
lcouraged the use of grating and bars over
windows during recent years, and many
such obstructions have been removed
Bars are used only for the purpose Of

PREPARING TO HARNESS
WATER Of RIO GRANDE
Elephant Butte Dam Will
Create Largest Artificial
Lake in World.

Advices have been received at the rec1a-
nation service that preliminary work has
been finished on the irrigation project
in southern New Mexico, where the Ele-
phant Butte dam will eventually create
the largest artificial body Of water in
the world. The railroad. twelve miles
of the dam, has been completed and
supplies are being assembled at the base
camp where work on the dam itself will
be begun after the June rise of the Rio
Grande subsidies.
About 700 men are now assembled at
the camp and supplies are being rushed
there at the rate OF twenty carloads a
day. The dam when completed Will be
263 feet high and 1.6no feet long on
top. including the spillway. 1t will i'm
pound 2,6JO,O00 acre-feet OF water This
is equal to 100000, ,OO0.O gallons. This
is about third more than the water
impounded by the famous Assuan dam
in Egypt The dam itself will contain
Two Hundred Miles Around.
Some idea OF the size Of the artificial
lake to be formed may be gathered from
the fact that 1t will be 200 miles around.
uc Odul Will IHipouiNl euoukn water "
irrigate over 100000 acres in this coun-
try and in Mexico. The United States
is to allow the Mexican government the
use of a certain amount Of water an
nually to make up for the private irri-
cation bitches that will be interfered
with along the Mexican side Of the inter
national boundary by cutting off the flow
OF the Rio Grande In food. The arrange
ment. however. will leave Mexico a good
deal better off. as she will get almost
twice as much water as she now takes
out of the river. and the supply will be
secure and unfailing.
The average depth Of the new inland sea
will be sixty-six feet.

One night little calf broke out of pasture and scan1pered through the woods to the river bank be- yond. lnstinctively like all animals, he picked the STRAIGHT COURSE. As he ran he kicked up a PATH in the leaves
 In the early morning his mother missed him. Frantic she broke through the crude fence and fol- lowed, WIDENING THE PATH with her flat nose and marking it with her sharp hoofs.
 When a man on horseback drew near THE PATH WAS QUITE PLAIN. He thought h a SHORT CUT through the woods and turned from the road
 AND IT WAS A SHORT CUT. The winding road grew up with weeds The straight path through the woods -blazed by calf, COW and horse man-BECAME A GREAT HIGHWAY.
