had risen to such a height as to en-
danger the pumps, which were taken
out, the masonry in the meantime hav-
ing been brought to height sufficient
to divert the water through the lower
gates and pipes.
The masonry in the flume block was
brought up 20 feet in 90 hours. At
this height, the face forms were creal5-
ing and wires were straining to such
an extent that it was not deemed safe
to build higher.
In Control in Forty Hours.
Forty hours from the time the first
blast was set off, an earth and rock
fill dam had been constructed tC a
height of "a feet, masonry wall 20
feet high had been built, and the Rio
Grande placed under absolute control
Weather and river conditions were
excellent but the success of the closure
was mainly due to the spirit and team
work of all concerned. Many of the
men worked "a hours without rest, and
there were few who did not work over
time. Everybody was interested and
furnished his best TO help accomplish
the desired end.
At the same time, the regular work
was being prosecuted but the quantity
of masonry placed was not as large as
usual partly owing to the additional
work mentioned above, but mainly due
to delay in receiving certain gate cast
ings, which greatly restricted the
working area. During the month a.
500 cubic yards of masonry was placed,
making a total to date of Assoc cubic
yards.
Excavation StIH Goes On.
Excavation was vigorously prose-
cuted at both abutments and near the
gate entrances at the east abutment,
where the foundation for the retaining
wall, to prevent material from sluffinG
against the screening tower, was COM
pleted The quantity eXcavated dur
ing the month was 5000 cubic yards,
making total to date of $4,000 cubic
yards
The quarries worked as usual,
though their output was somewhat be-
low normal on account of many of the
men being temporarily transferred to
other work. A total of 1920 cubic
yards of material was excayated. From
sand storage $3.50 cubic yards of sand
was taken to the concrete mixing plant,
making a total to date of 1900 cubic
yards. The sand cement plant operated
two or three shifts as necessary to
meet the demand, and furnished 27,2OO
barrels of sand cement; a total to date
of 500 barrels.
Rock Work Goes Fast.
Work at the embankment has pro-
crossed very satisfactorily. At the end
Of the month there had been placed
10000 cubic yards Of earth and 1000
cubic yards of rock. All preliminary
work has been completed, and the or
ganization is now such that from 25,-
600 to 10000 cubic yards of earth and
rock will be placed each month.

King George FoHows
Progress Of War With
Big Map and Small Flags

London, Eng. Jan. 9.-King George
has a set of maps on which, by the
use Of cOIored flags and pegs, every
move of the Allied armies is detailed.
They are kept in one of the kings pri
vate rooms in Buckingham palace, and
those who have seen them say that
they are exceedingly elaborate.
Not only are there plain maps. but
also the embossed m; ps indicating the
forts of the country.
An officer from the war office, ex-
pert in the work, each day visits the
palace to alter the flags in accordance
with the information in the official
reports supplied by the cOmmander-in-
chief to Lord Kitchener.
Prince Albert spends a lot of time
in studying the maps so far as the
land forces are concerned, but for the
naval movements he finds the admi-
raliUy much more edifying.
