RIVER THREATENS
RAILROAD GRADE


The Grand river is on tear again.
Rising with Incredible swiftness since
I Saturday evening IL is causing a
large amount OF damage and worry
/ among those who live along its
| banks. The rise which started late
/ Saturday night. has amounted to IS
| inches in the last 30 hours. and it is
rising higher each hour. This eNcep-
tional rise, coupled with the already
nigh water mark of "a feet makes
the river dangerously close to the
record high water mark of June ] o,
1872. when the water went to l | .
feet with an estimated height dur
ing the night OF Is feet.
Ever since Saturday a gang OF 80
men has been working with might
and main to protect the Rio Grande
railroad tracks two miles west of
town. The river has completely
washed away the Fruita road and is
perilously close to the Grande tracks,
all that separated the two this morn
ing being a small strip of land. 90
feet wide. The wagon road for a
distance OF several hundred yards is
under the swirling waters, which are
between one and one-half to three
feet deep. The ranch on the river
side of the tracks is rapidly dissolv-
ing. and one man expressed il this
morning that II something was not
done at once. that ranch would be in
the Pacific ocean inside of Il week. +"
Rip-rap work IS being constructed as
rapidly as possible, and IL Is hoped
that the tracks can be saved. The
river is y of a mile wide at this
point.
Yesterday at De Beque the river
approached within 9 inches of the
record mark of 1912, and carried
away part of the De Beque city water
works. The dykes and embankments
suddenly gave way and part of the
plant went with it, II has been re-
paired and was working all right at
an early hour this morning.
Yesterday morning arise of 8 inch
es in two hours was recorded at the
Fifth street bridge. A large number
of local people visited the different
bridges yesterday and watched the
rushing stream.
Since the first of the month the
rise has been 6 feet. This afternoon
the river was within 10 inches of the
record mark. Supt. j. T. Nedwideck
of the Junction railway is keeping
close tab on, the rise and condition
of the roadbed between here and
Glenwood Springs and is ready to
Immediately rush supplies and re-
pairs to any point should the river
get beyond control.
The pile bridge across the Brand
at the diversion dam has so far wea-
thered the waters in fine shape but
sharp watch is being kept to detect
the first weakness.

MAGENHE|MERS RAPED
(Contlnued from Page IL

ANOHlluueu lIOH rage L.
ment which was to return the waste
power water to the Grand river
above the headgate of the Grand Val
ley canal so that no less would en-
tail to the canal. Attention is
brought to this fact by letter from
j. H. Miner to the Magenheimers in
1910 referred to the fact that the
high line might lose water by being
forced to furnish necessary water
to the Grand Valley canal because
of the latter's earlier priority.
The attorneys further declare that
the Magenhelmers alone could have
bid on the construction OF the canal
under the circumstances because they
pretended to have the only right of
way from the government and that
only one bid was offered for the work
which was that of the Magenheimers.
The matter of an Increased cost of
the diversion dam is gone into and
shows that $4,000 was paid over
and above that originally intended.
Reference is made to the report of
an engineer on the tunnel who as
serts that the price paid is eXtraya-
CANT. The expenditure is held by
the attorneys to be Illegal.
Claim is made that the power
canal is not able to carry its supposed
capacity and that there is much doubt
as to the ability of the power canal
to carry water to irrigate 5000 acres
much less the 1000 acres supposed
to be watered by the project.
The. attorneys also aver that APP
parently the burden on the contrac-
tor was at ynriOus timpg rplieved
without n reduction in the contract
price. They hold that the board of
directors were without authority to
make these alterations in the price
and the work to be performed.
The attorneys also hold that the
directors exceeded their authority in
authorizing completion warrants
which, they aver, should be passed
upon by the people and the opinion
Is given that proper action in the
courts would enjoin any further pay
ment of these outstanding construc-
tion or completion warrants
The report goes on: "You are all
well aware that more than one-half
OF the contract price has been added
to the cost of construction done
we have no hesitation in saying that
an examination of the books in this
Instance discloses an extravaganza
that seems uneXplninable. The
| board had no authority to accept the
work which was never authorized or
provided to be built
The report is a voluminous docu-
ment and covers nearly as pages. 1t
! includes n report on the project by
Engineer l.. G. Carpenter.
