ARTIFICIAL RIVER
1,5OO MILES LONG
Would Have Canal Extending Through
Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas. Ne
braska and South Dakota.

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 15.-An arti-
fetal river, for irrigation purposes,
running through western Kansas, Ok
lahoma, Texas, Nebraska and South
Dakota. was proposed in a plan pre-
sented to the Kansas legislature today
by Representative j. c. Hopper or
Ness county
Such canal, he said. would be fed
by a series OF dams across draws In
which the surplus rain and snow
water, falling I'm the winter months,
could be saved until summer. The
canal proposed would be 1.500 miles
long and in addition to irrigating arid
or seni-arid lands, would prevent
floods In the Mississippi and Missouri
river valleys. according to Represen-
tative Hopper. and would afford a
waterway for the transportation Of
products OF the section.
The resolution does not ask an ap-
proprialion for the work, but requests
that the Kansas legislature ask con-
gress to make an investigation of the
plan.

The people OF Avezzano, according
to Mr.. Marconi, have abandoned their
efforts to take bodies from the wreck

Count Somaglia. president Of the Ital-

Work TO Save Woman.
In digging among the ruins res

physician was summoned and said
that the woman was still alive. The
rescuers worked with feverish haste,
but 1t was almost impossible to dis
lodge the mass OF shattered masonry

After several hours only one arm was
freed. Then the attempt was aban-

death had made futile the efforts OF
