The government is to build one of a
series of great dams on the reaches of
the Colorado river. At the intersection
of the Grand and Colorado rivers the
engineers of the Geological Survey are
now at work taking soundings for the
purpose of putting in the first dam Of
the series. This dam will be used for
the generation of electricity and to
irrigate a large acreage of lands in
Utah and western Colorado, as well as
New Mexico and Arizona. With this
dam it is possible to so regulate the
flow of water that other dams can be
built without danger of floods during
torrential rainy season. This dam will
be able to generate wonderful amount
of electricity, with which smaller ir-
rigation projects can be operated, as
we'll will it be brought into the mines
and timber belts for use in making
marketable products in that locality.
AS the dams are blilt along the main
canyons of the Colorado the flow of
that mighty stream can be regulated
and the waters conserved. During the
months of April, May, June and July
enough water flows in the Colorado to
irrigate millions of acres of lands the
whole year round, if properly conserved.
Of course, it will take many years and
millions of dollars to regulate this flow,
but it will be worth the money.

In this connection one is reminded
Of the period in the famous story-tell-
er's career when. at the height OF his
vogue, he could not turn out his tales
fast enough to satisfy his clamoring
publishers. and it became necessary
for him to employ collaborators, to
whom he sketched the plot, perhaps,
leaving them to do the rest. Among
the most distinguished was Paul
Meurice.
Thus 1t came about that Meurice

found this novel in hotel and opened
it to pass away the time. He began
reading It seriously, got interested in
it, and was amused. Presently some
one came to his room and found him
with Les Deux danes" in his hand.

Spouse to a question. "a novel OF my

Mrs. Mary Reyes, American Woman
Who Lived In Mexico City, Was
Not Afraid TO
Talk.
HAS FOUR DAUGHTERS
Interesting story Of Widow and
Quartet Of Girls Who Saved
Many Mexlcans'
Lives.

[By William G.. Shepherd, United
Press staff Correspondent
VERA CRUZ, Mexico, June %
(By mail to New York Mrs. Mary
Reyes Is back again under the Ameri-
can flag. after having given GER
tain Mexican named Huerta the sass
ing of his life. With he- she brings
four pretty daughters. about whom
the young lieutenants of the army
and navy are flocking like birds. But
to get headlong into the story:
Mrs. Reyes went to Mexico twenty
ave years ago and is the American
widow Of Mexican who was once
wealthy. Her four daughters have
delightful little lisps, calculated to
drive a white-suited young navyman
half mad. The girls learned stenog'
raphy. after the family fortunes
waned and in good American style
they jumped in after their fathers
death, and made for themselves and
their mother home that was one OF
the brightest and most interesting In
Mexico City. When President Ma
dero was assassinated, Mrs. Reye,
agreed with President Wilson that
Huerta, the assassin, ought not to be
recognized. 1t was an easy matter
for President Wilson not to recognize
Huerta but for Mrs. Reyes 1t was an
affair of great difficulty. owing to the
fact that the Reyes and Huerta fam
lilies were in the same social set in
the capital. Mrs. Reyes began to
speak her mind wherever she went.
The Carranzistas, who were working
secretly in the city, at the risk OF
their lives, sought her out and told
her to be careful.
"I'm going to talk and think as
please" said Mrs. Reyes in American
style. The Carranzistas In the CAPT.
tai began to depend more and more
on the American woman and her
daughters for aid in accomplishing
secret and difficult tasks. For In
stance, it's Mrs. Reyes own secret
how she did 1t, but 1t is known that
fourteen deputies who had been
marked for death by Huerta were
spirited away from her home at vari-
GUS times, to safety. And every time
q deputy went to safety the wardrobe
Of one of the girls was minus gown
or street dress. II you could get the
Reyes family to tell some o. the de-

hut the divers who have inspected the
hull are Of the opinion that in low
water, the boat might be raised. They
discourage any attempt to raise it as
long as the river ID over tho cabin
deck. The Majestic was sunk week
ago Saturday morning. few miles
north Of st. Louis BY collision with

since then has slid into deeper water,
where it now rests on the bottom Of
the Mississippi with the river flowing
over the forward end Of the hurricane
roof The water on both sides Of the
boat is thirty feet deep, too deep to
permit successful attempt, 1t Is said
to refioat the big craft until the river
falls.
Clerk H. Edgar Wisherd appearing
IN the role Of diver recovered large
sum Of money from the sunken craft.
The water was almost up to the cell
ing Of the ONCE and 1t was impos-
sible to get into the room except by
cutting hole through from the hur-
ricane roof, which was done. Wisherd
then lowered himself through the hole
until his feet rested on top OF the
deck and then by feeling about in the
water which was over his head, he
finally located the money bags, which
he passed up through the hole to the
others on the roof. He also succeed
ed in pulling out the money drawer
which also was passed up through the
hole, but It was impossible to reach
the safe and nohing further was re-
covered until the divers reached the

tents removed.
The divers examined the hull from
both the outside and inside Of the
boat, and afterwards told Capt. Wish.
erd that they thought the Majestic
might be raised but not 30 long as
the river Is so high.o but suggested
that nothing be done until the water
is at least down to the cabin deck.
This would mean that the boat will
have to remain in its present position
until late summer or GALL. While this
will keep the boat ont OF. trafic this
season It is assumed that ultimately
the boat will be raisSd and it Is pos
sible that the Majestic may be In the
excursion trade on the upper Missis-
sippi in 1915. {,
Capt. Wisherd verified the state
ment Of other rivernen that the hull
of the Majestic was built about two
years ago at Paducah, KY, and was
as good a. any on the river. The
superstructure OF the boat was new
throughout and she was properly
sound. according to Captain Wisherd.
