a further trip of inspection was made
and more photographs taken. some

From all this we present as of spe-

North Side Tract and as especially
pertaining to the object of our Visit
as We understand It, facts. figures
and deductions as follows:
The construction of the storage
dam involves the concrete headgaies
structure and the earth dyke. The

In this dam there are twenty sluice
or controlling gates eight feet VIDE

Rates are placed in tn" dam Level
with the river bed. and above them
in the upper portion of the dam are
4 like number of spillway gates or
waste gates of the same dimensions
through which the excess water VIII
be spilled over concrete apron al

sliding type and are operated by
mower from a gasoline engine on 4
track ON top of the dam. Th' leaf
of each of these gates. or the apph-
,nc. that stops the hole, weighs ~
GOO pounds. or five tons. Hence
twenty of them weigh 100000 p"uhds

include the iron frame In which the
leaves are set and they. also, are

The waste gates are of the radial

Having practically completed the
concrete Work the crew OF carpen-
tiers has been recently laid of perma-
nently. The total force employed
ON the work at the present time is
80 men, but in the past a maximum
OF 4S5 have been employed Ii is not
considered practical to employ a
greater force Oh the remaining work
We consider il only fair to the
reclamation officers in charge OF the
work 10 call attention to the diff
Cultie- OF operation which makes
progress SLOW and tedious In the
first place the summer season is
short and there is maximum low
temperature record at the dam of 81
degrees below zero. On account of
the long freight haul and condition
Of roads. hauling operations cannot
be engaged in until about July lst
And on account of freezing weather

length of season before cold weather.
Rip-rapping will then follow another
season. The engineers consider IT
impracticable to attempt retaining
the maximum head OF water above
the dyke the first season, as the dyke
should settle and the rip-rapping be
completed before this is undertaken.
He stated. however, that he hoped
conditions would make possible the
advancement of the work to an ex-
tent that would permit of increased
storage next season.
As regards the present water stu
alton at the dam, from information
furnished us by the engineer, we
found it about as previously explain
ed to the settlers.
The work throughout is OF such
magnitude and requires such techni-
cal skill that it would be presumptu-
Gus on our part to attempt to pass
Judgment on IT, But it appears to
be of the highest order and directed
by very competent and experienced
men of the reclamation service.
We were most courteously receiv-
ed and treated by these gentlemen,

all the information asked for, Mr..

JESUS CHRIST.
A description of the body of Jesus
Christ as was found, in an Ancient
Manuscript sent by PubLus Lentilus,
President of Judea, TO the Senate of
Rome.
There lives at this time in
Judea, man of singular char
acter whose name is Jesus Christ;
tie barbarians esteem him
Prophet, but his followers adore
him as the immediate offspring
Of the Immortal God. He is ell
dowed with such unparalel vir-
tue as to call back the dead from
their graves, and to heal every
kind of disease with a word or
touch-his person is tall and
elegantly shaped, his aspect
amiable and reverend, his hair
fl WIS in those beautiful shades
which no united colors can match,
falling into graceful curls below
his ears, agreeably COUGHING on
his shoulders, and parting on the
crown of his head. like the head
dress of the sect of the Nazarines;
his forehead is smooth and his
cheeks without spot, save that
of a beautiful red, his nose and
mouth so formed as nothing can
be represented, his beard some.
what thick, agreeable in colour
to the hair of his head, not Of
aly great length, but forked in
the midst; his eyes are bright,
clear and serene: He rebukes
with majesty, councils with mild
ness. and invites with the most
persuasive language: His whole
address whether in word or deed,
being elegant, grave and strictly
characteristic of so exalted a be-
ing: 1t cannot be remembered
that any have ever seen him
laugh, but many have seen him
weep frequently, and so persua-
sive are his tears that the multi
tude cannot withhold their tea rs
from joining in sympathy with
him He is very modest, tenn
perate and wise; in short, what
ever this phenomenon may turn-
oat in the end, he seems, at pres
ent, man for excellence, beauty.
and divine projections every way
lrpassing the children of men.
