connected with using the waters
of the Colorado for the purposes
of irrigation is to prevent the
silt from entering the canals,
which it clogs so that it is neceS-
sary to continually clean them.
The Laguna dam, by backing up
the flow of the river for ten
miles before it reaches the head
gates, creates a lake through
which the passage of the river
will De slow as compared with
the ordinary swift current. The
main irrigation canals which will
lead from either end of the dam
will not take their supply from
the river, but from sluiceways
which will leave the main stream
several hundred feet above the
weir, bringing water to the canal
heads at velocity of about one
foot per second, causing a fur
ther silt deposit before the canals
are reached. The canal sup
plies will be taken from near the
surface.
Levees are feature of this
system, and they have been con
structed and railroad built
along them. They protect the
entire Yuma valley, over eighty
six miles in extent.
In fertility of soil, in climate
and in character Of products the
Yuma valley is like the Salt
River valley. By means of the
Yuma system there will be irri
gated about twenty five square
miles of the richest land in the

BUILDING MAIN CANAL
Work Being Rushed on Canal to
Garry Water From Dam to 81.
phon on California Side

The actual construction of the
main canal to carry water from
the Laguna dam to the siphon
on the California side of the Col
orado river for irrigation of the
| Yuma valley was begun last
week, and there are now more
than three hundred head Of stock
and two hundred men engaged
in moving the dirt for this big
ditch. This canal is to be eighty
feet wide at the bottom and will
require the moving of about two
millions of cubic yards Of dirt,
the distance between the dam
and the siphon being ten or
eleven miles There are three
camps already esta blished along
this line of construction, the first
Of these being just west of the
Indian school, and there proba-
bly, will be two or three other
camps placed along the line and
the work will be rushed until
this big canal is ready for bring
ing the water to the siphon. 1t
is the intention to have this work
all done by the time the siphon
is completed, which will mean
that water will be carried by this
canal and transferred through
the siphon to the lower valley
within the next year.
The reclamation service has a
greater number of men and stock
engaged on the Gila river unit,
building the levees and prepar
ing for the canals to water the
territory north Of the Gila, as
also to adjacent lands on the
south side of the Gila and lying
adjacent to Yuma. In this work
there are $40 head Of horses and
mules and 406 men engaged. AS
this work progresses some of
the men and teams will be trans
ferred to the California side to
work on the main canal. 1t is
expected that this levee work
will be about complete by the 1st
of July when the transfer will
be made, and also construction
work will begin on the levee for
the south side of the Gila river.
In all departments of the Yuma
Project there about 1000 men
and some 1900 head of stock en-
gagged in rushing the work to
completion. This has already
brought about an air of prosper
ity for Yuma, and within a few
months there will be such a hum
of business that this section will
in reality be one of the most
prosperous sections in the South

Yuma Reclamation Pro-
jSCt Described
Los Angeles Paper Compares 1t With
the Salt River Project and Gives
Many Interesting Details
Los Angeles Times.

The Yuma Reclamation Pro
ject differs in every particular
from that of the Salt River val
ley. No storage reservoir has
been constructed, and none
was needed. for the melted snow
of the Rocky mountains, 200C
miles away, doesn't reach Yuma
until June, and there is at all
times of the year water enouhg
ia the river to irrigate all the
land lying along its banks. Only
a diversion dam has been con
structed. This dam is at point
thirteen miles above the town Of
Yuma, and was constructed for
the purpose of providing irri-
eating facilities for about l30, OO0
acres of as rich land as can be
found anywhere in the world.
The Colorado resem bles the Nile
of Egypt, the birthplace of au-
cient civilization. II resembles
the Nile ia that its sources lie in
a distant mountainous country;
lit flows through a nearly rain
less land, and it empties into an
enclosed sea in % degrees north
latitude-the Nile flowing north
ward and the Colorado flowing
southwark. Like the Nile, it
brings every year the silt of the
mountains to continually enrich
the land that at certain seasons
it overfows.
The borings made by the gov
ernment engineers demonstrated
that there is no bedrock III the
Colorado river, and nothing to
which a dam could be anchored,
as at Roosevelt. It was decided
to build type of dam known as
the Indian weir, such as is CEN
structed in India on large rivers
with torrential foods flowing
over beds of similar character
istics to those found IN tae Cole
rado river.
The Laguna dam is composed
of a loose rock ell between pur-
allel walls of concrete. These
concrete walls extend the entire
length of the structure-about
400 feet. The upper wall is
founded on sheet piling; the
downstream face of the weir,
which has a slope of one to
twelve feet, is paved with con-
crete eighteen inches thick, and
below the down stream wall is
an apron of derrick stone in
tended to protect the structure
from flood erosion. The dam is
240 feet wide and Of sufficient
height to raise the water level of
the river about ten feet.

Instead of telling Edward Hines, OF

ent Lorimer investigation, that he and
the president were anxious to have
Lorimer elected, Mr.. Aldrich declared
that he said Lorimer's candidacy was
mot Objectionable"
When attorneys for Lorimer. on
cross-examination, tried to show that
the former senator might have said

declared that he said not objection
able" and that he meant that word
and nothing more. He added that he
knew Hines would use the information
given him at Springfield.
Mr.. Aldrich also denied he had told
Hines that he considered LOrimer the
only man who could be elected. He
declared that he did not ask Senator
Penrose to bring Hines to consult with
him in regard to the Illinois election.
and added that he did not believe
Senator Penrose brought Hines to his

According to Aldrich, all the con

Boutell, and finally Lorimer. The SEN

Paul Besttie, had admitted having
bought the gun with which Mrs. Beat

arrested.
Paul Beattie attempted to commit
suicide following his arrest and he
was taken to a hospital under guard,
suffering from commissions.
Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., told a coro-
ner's jury his story Of the murder OF
his wife by an unknown man accosted
on the road while the couple were
driving their automobile several nights
ago on the Midlothian turnpike.
Beattie's counsel stated that the
young man knew he was suspected by
the authorities of having had a hand
in the crime, and declared they would
not object TO any line of questioning
the state might desire to pursue, and
maintained that their client would
prove his innocence. Beattie, on the
stand for two hours, rigidly adhered |
to his first story of the affair.
Beattie was the first witness heard, |
the line of questioning indicating a
belief by the state authorities that his
wife was killed in the road, where the
large blOodstain was found, instead Of
in the automobile.
