WORLDS HIGHEST DAM
TO Be BUILT IN IDAHO

Building Of the highest dam in
the world. owning and operating a
railroad. and creating the biggest
reservoir in eXistance are three of
the present activities of Uncle
Sam. The railroad was constructed
by the Reclamation Service. 1t is
Of standard gague. % miles long
and runs between Arrowrock and
Boise City, Idaho. In an illus
trated article in the March
Popular Mechanics Magazine. L.
William Thavis says:
THE necessity for it was the
same that has caused Uncle Sam
TO do many unprecedented things
in connection with the big irriga-
Il ion projects in the West. Many
of these are located in the desert,
and it is necessary for the govern
ment TO build roads, telegraph and
telephone lines run hotels and
department stores and, in this last
venture, to build railroad to get
men and material to the scene of
work.
The big dam that is being put
in on the Arruwrock project in
Idaho will be 35I feet high and
will cover an acreof ground. 1t is
narrow section of the Boise
Canon, about 20 miles above Bosie
City. The site was selected only
after long search. There were
several drillings and pit diggings
before bedrock was struck, 80 feet
below the surface of the river.
-Four or five years will be
consumed in construction. The
top will be % feet wide and 1000
feet long, with a roadway which
will be protected by paraPet on
each side. The dam itself will
back up Il large lot of water that
will irrigate 25O,OOC acres. When
the reservoir is full, the water will
be drawn off through gates near
the top. AS the level Of the water
is lowered, lower gates will be
opened So that these outlets never
will operate under an excessive
head Of water"

SHEEP SAVING INVENTION

Virgil Conneli, sheepman Of
Antelope Valley has invented a
novel devi-e for protecting his
lambs from coyotes and after
several extensive trials the ap-
paratus has proved vrey successful.
1t consists of an electrical device
that sets off an explosion every
hour and rids any given locality
Of coyotes. The timing Of the
explosions were set at 60 minute
intervals after a close study of the
traits Of the destructive animals.
The explosion causes hasty re-
treat and before the coyote can
decide on another attack he is
again scared off.
Coyotes kill many young sheep,
and the loss can be prevented by
M, Connell's device. He is abont
to apply for a patent and when
the invention is protected IL will
be placed on the market. - Record

SENTENCED FOR ROBBERY

Judge Taber this forenoon
sentenced Harry G. Stone to five
years and three months in the
pcntintiary and Ed Harrison. lbs
partner in crime, was given seven
year and nine months. On the l4th
of last December, these men fell
in with Ed. Woodall, a laboring
man and the three started in to
have a good time. Woodall had
money and Stone and Harrison
accepted every invitation he gave
them to drink. According to
Woodall's story as told TO Judge
Taber this forenoon, all of them
were pretty drunk, when Woodall
said he was going to the red-light
district. Stone and Harrison went
with him and on the way there
Harrison knocked Woodall down
and he and Stone took his money.
harrison and Stone claimed they
got only $50 while Woodall says he
lost 500.
Stone told Judge Taber that he
had never been in trouble bef ore
Ihat he had no thought of commit
ing a crime until Woodall had
been Knocked down and that had
he been sober he would not have
taken any part in il. Harrison
admitted serving six and one-half
years of ten-year sentence in San
Quentin and being released on the
oath Of November. He denie d

ment or more than once. The

Woodall asked the court to be
lenient with the prisoners, but
insisted that he was struck three
times and that $50 was taken from
him. Only $23.0S was found on
the prisoners at the Jail and this

MARBLE DEPOSIT TO
Be PRODUCING SOON

j. c. Perkin. of Marion, Ohio,
leader in the marble industry in
Chicago, is enroute to Beatty to
inspect the marble deposit located
about eight miles south of that
point, the property of the Ameri-
can Marble company. An expert
he will investigate and plan for
future operations. and decide on
the requisite machinery for develop
ment and production.
The purest and whitest of marble
is found there in quantity and so
situated that it can be quarried
inexpensively. Being located but
a couple of miles from the line of
the Las Vegas K Tonopah tracks at
a considerable elevation above the
road the marble can be very
economically transported from the
quarry to railroad by gravity.
Marble with delicate tints in
streaks and also jet black have
been found. about two miles dis
tant from the main deposit. -

AMERICAN CORN

Indian corn is native of Ameri-
ca. The Indians cultivated il
when the white man first came,
and their legends carried it back
to Manitou, or Great Spirit, from
whom it came as bis choicest gift
TO man, SAYS the Washington P ost
without it the earlier settlements
would have perished.
1t grows in all parts of the
United States and in its every
stage presents varied charms and
attractions. more alluring to the
eye than wa, ing fields If wheat
or rice, the white cotton or the
splendid sugar cane, with which it
vies in stateliness and outranks in
its gorgeous and changeful hues of
green.
One.third of the human family
lives on rice, but it is not the third
that counts. The date palm sis
everything to the desert dweller.
So is corn to the Ameri can,
although often Indirectly. He
eats it on the cob and off. makes
of it innumerable kinds of food
and turns ii into hygs and cattle.
In its sturdy vigor Indian corn
is representative of the people. 1t
strikes its tap root deep into the
earth, while the lateral roots
reach out in every direction. 1t
droops under the long drouth, but
given to or three rains toward
caring time il yields harvest

PULSE WATCH

Among the ingenious devices vf
the physician may be mentioned a
watch, constructed on the stop"
principle, whereby the number of
pulse beats per minute may be
indicated. A push.button is
pressed at the beginning of the
count and again at the twentieth
pulsation. when the number of
beats per minute is shown on a
dial without The necessity of calcu-
lation. Still another push on the
button brings the counter back to
the starting point. In the
ordinary method of taking the
pulse tho observer is obliged to do
two things at the same time
count the beats and keep his eye
on his watch. With the pulse
watch only one operation is neces-
sary, the counting Of the pulsa-
tions up to twenty, when tho push
button is pressed.

ALFALFA GOOD
BREAKFAST FOOD

Dreadful news comes from
Chicago. The president of q
packing company has surprised his
friends by telling them that he
ate a breakfast in the form of
alfalfa pancakes. The number
less people who enjoy a stack
of wheats" at least once day will
silver in their stummicks at the
thought that some day some one
will slip them an alfalfa stack
instead or feeding it to the cow.
To add to the tragedy. it is re-
ported from Sioux Falls, South
Dakota, that fine quality of syrup
can be made from alfalfa. 1t is
claimed by the South Dakota dis
coverer of alfalfa syrup that fro m
ton of hay the minimum worth
of syrup produced would be S26,
which makes the stuff too valuable
to feed to cattle and hogs. Most
people, however, will be inclined
to say don't rob the pigs. Los

LIGHT SNOW FALL
IN THE SIERRAS

A dispatch from Sacramento
says that for the first time in
many years the Southern Pacific
snowplows and giant rotaries are
lying idle in February at Truckee
and Summit, in Placer county.
This state of. affairs has been
caused by the pnenomenally light
fall of sonw in the mountains
during the winter months. At no
time since the beginning of the
winter season has it been ne ces.
sray for the operation officials of
the railroad company to bring the
huge track-rlearing engines into
use. and old-timers of the Sacra-
mento division sadly shake their
heads when asked if there is any
chance of repetiation of the big
snowfalls of previous years.
1t is an axiom among higher
officials of the Southern Pacific,
handed down by Coils P. Hunting
ton. that it is better to spend a
million dollars for repairs on the
mountain divisions than 10 miss a
seasonal snowfall of even moderate
proportions.
The winter conditions in the
mountain are such as to cause
some little alarm. Plenty of snow
means an abundance of water in
the summer months. and without a
good supply of water for irrigation
and navigation purposes. crops
are likely to suffer. An indication
of the shortage of snow at Summit
is shown in the report of 20 inches
at that lplace Wednesday, against
2lS the same date year ago.

THE PASTOR
FIXED THEM FIGHT

The Rev. William Burd, pastor
of the Methodist church at Hills
dale, N. j., is undoubtedly a man
of original methods.
For many years it had been his
wish to bring the boys Of Hillsdale
into his church and to make good
Christians out of them. But boys
are the same everywhere and the
boys of Hillsdale found lettering,
shooting craps, play ing ball. ETC.,
more to their taste than sitting in
church on Sunday morning. Pastor
Burd tried various schemes to
attract the boys, but never sue
ceeded.
Finally the idea came to him to
organize among them a whistling
club, with constitution and
numerous by laws, like any other
club. That appealed to the boys
and their enthusiasm reached the
point of white heat wien the
rastor, after considerabl drilling
and renearsing, allowed twelve of
the youngsters to whistle hymns,
accompanied by the organ during
Sunday service.
The innovation lat the church
service evidently pleased the
parents of the boys as much as the
boys themselves and the members
of the congregation lid not, even
protest when the boys, as a matter
of introducing themselves gave
their "club-yell."

A GOOD DINNER

Trust, attended a banquet in New
York. The food was good: the

the cigars added a final complete

Gary's turn to speak his mind was
saturated with benevolence and
his thoughts turned to the welfare
of the republic, the sufferings of
the working men. Listen to him
Things are being said at the
present time akin to the things
that were said prior to the French
Revolution, and in my opinion
there is dagger ahead. Unless
capitalists, corporations and men
of great wealth take leading part
in the amelioration of conditions,
there will be changes made later
by the mob"

of Judge Gary's speech, also

mittee. These witnesses told how
the Steel trust forces men to labor
twelve hours a day, seven days
a week, for wages which compel
them to live like swine--a condi-
ton which Judge Gary could
ameliorate with a stroke of his pen.
The banquet hall is dark. The
diners are gone. The tables are
