until I made trip up there last week
with the automobile club party I had
no idea what this project really means.
The ordinary citizen is probably like

be got up and that every business
man, at least ought to visit the dam.
Then, and then only, will the public
wake up to what this big work means
to FL PasO. It is a study in the power
Of nature and mans genius. One of
the engineers told me that, in his
opinion, future generations would re-
fer to the 10th century as having pro-
dUced two great pieces of engineering,
the Panama canal and the Elephant
Butte dam. A visit to the dam is an
educational experience that is worth
