BIG IRRIGATION SCHEME.
Eight Storage Reservoirs on Colorado
 to Hold all Flood Waters.

A telegram from Ynma of re- cent date outlines a plan for the greatest irrigation project yet originated. It reads:
 President Earl B. Smith of the Yuma Valley Water Users asso- citation has received from w. B. Raymond of Los Angeles a let ter giving details of plan for an irrigation scheme that for magnitude goes a little beyond any that has ever been proposed.
 The project includes eight great storage reservoirs on the Colorado and it's tributaries that will hold practically all the flood waters of this great stream and place the water under such per feet control that there will be no waste, and no silt to contend with.
 As an incidental there is to be an aggregation of power that is staggering. The project is to extend into Sonora and Lower California and it is inferred that the recent visit of the. Mexican secretary of the interior to Los Angeles had something to do with it.
 It is proposed to hold a con vention in Phoenix or Yuma in the near future to be composed of delegates from all of the states along the big river, including Sonora and Lower California, to formulate plans for the great project.
 The estimated cost of the pro- ject is S73, GOO, ,OOO and it is intend ed to ask for this sum-

SHOWING THE REMARKAl
POWERS OF THE CHI
The remarkable detective pow
ers which the Chicago police
force, does not display in certain
cases is worthy of notice.
Take the case of John Sims,
bigamist, Daily News thug, dep
uty sheriff, lieutenant of Boss
Jimmie Quinn and former pal of
the automobile bandits who ter
rorized the north side.
Sims was indicted for bigamy.
by the October Grand jury, but he
is not in jail -just now and he is
not out on bond.
Sims has disappeared, taking
with him the young girl f1e.trap-
ped into a bigamous marriage.
The dutyof finding and7arrest-
ing Sims was jockeyed about for
some time, until it finally was
placed on the shoulders of Police
Captain Max l.. Dannerj of the
Sheffield avenue station.
The Day Book today asked
Captain Banner how his search
for Sims was coming along
ct isn't coming along, " said
Danner. my men have been
hunting for him for a long time
now, but they haven't been able
to find hide nor hair of him.
They haven't been able to land a
hint as to where Sims might be"
Evidently Captain banners
men are up against a hard case,
and SO The Day Book, being al
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-11-18

For a fugitive, Sims was ex-l
tremely calm at that time. He
did not seem to fear the Chicago
police. He did not seem to think
he stood any chance of being ar
rested and made to answer for
the crime for which he was in
dicted.
The Day Book begs to suggest
to Captain banners sleuths that
they try looking around Sims
old haunts for the man they are,
of course, so anxious to get.
If Captain banners men don't
know, Sims; haunts, they might
ask Boss Jimmie Quinn, of the
North Side, for whom Sims used
to work f.---
If Quinn-is unable TO help them
out, they might ask the Daily
News, for which newspaper Sims
also used, to work.
If the Daily News is as igno-
rant as they, they might ask Sher-
lif Zirn1ner where his deputy
sheriff is,
The history of the Sims case is
ia great little showing of what
public officials can't do.
Sims bigamously married Hilda
Cass, daughter of Mrs. F. A.
Gass; 1888 Bradley place, August
Y last.
Mrs. Cass' found out that Sims
had wife and baby living at 1912
Webster street.
She had a warrant sworn out
IN the Sheffield avenue court for.
the arrest of Sims. The warrant
