To divert this water from the Colorado

Work Hard and Dangerous.
The camps are located mile and
a half above sea level, and during sew
eral months each winter have practi-
cally been isolated from NE world,
the roads blocked by masses Of snow
and ice. For more than two years the
work has gone on without ceasing,
three shifts of men alternating during
the twenty-four hours of the day and
night. Thousands of gallons of water
poisonous gases and swelling ground
have made the work difficult and dan

on several occasions.
In 1910 the work of placing the con-
crete lining was begun and since has

Some oer-zealous church people i'm
Brooklyn recently passed resolutions
condemning the practice of permitting
hall playing in the public parks on
Sundays. The pastor of the church
sent letter TO MAYOR Gaynor enclos-
ing the resolutions and received an
answer from the Mayor which should
give the pastor and his congregation
some food for thought. Mayor Gaynor
made no effort 90 disguise the fact that
he is strongly in favor of permitting
the boys to play ball on Sundays. He
intimated that a Puritan Sunday OBJ
servance might be suitable and enfor-
cable In rural districts but not In large
cities and that IL was far better to let
the boys play ball than TO drive them
to saloons or worse places. Incident
ally he called the attention OF the pas
tor TO the fact that people have a
right to indulge in any game or re-
creation on Sunday which Is not pro-
hibited by law.
