be done. That has been his home, his hobby ever since the U. S. R. s. began it's operations here in Yuma. His only thoughts were of that old building and the pumping machinery under it's roof Too see it demolish- ed was just like snapping the heart strings of a love-sick boy who must stand tied to tree and see his best dians
 "Of course, he is running the new pumping plant" continued the project manager, but that isn't like the old one, and all during the day, whenever he has had a spare moment he has stood around watching his old love gradually razed to the ground, with an involuntary plea to the ruthless workmen, something like Axeman, spare that tree It's really pathetic"
 But what's he doing with the mule?"
 Well, you know that in a short while I'm going to put lot of stuff under the auction hammer, including mules and horses That particular mule has been Toms favorite so long that even he can't guess it's age, and for fear I will order it sold, he has tied himself to the mule-at least, surmise that is the situation" replied MT. Lawson.
 We walked over to where the mule and Tom were holding a whispered conversation, for they had spied our approach. I found that rom" was none other than Thomas D. Eberhardt, who has been one of the most trusted men in the U. s. R. S. since the begin ming of Yuma project But he was so choked up with emotion that he refused to be interviewed It was, indeed, pathetic.
 In the meantime, Project Manager Lawson continues to cory out his plans for betterment of the service, according to his own notions. He does not merely promise" but he does exactly what he promises.

kill so many fish that the workman actually had to cease work, in order to bury the dead fish,
 Then a little rise in the river wash ed away about 200 feet of that mar velous" piece of handiwork!
 Up came a new supply of salmon and other valuable food fish! And just about the time they reached the break in the dam it was closed up tight again, and millions of this new supply of fish, seeking the headwa- ters to spawn, were again killed!
 Then came another freshet of only about a two-foot rise, and out went the dam (thing) again!
 It was busted wide open, when I was down there yesterday in company with Project Engineer Lawson and his assistant, MT. Priest.
 During the time that all the water was flowing through the c. D. com pany'S intake so much sand and silt was washed into the canal that the big suction dredged was hard at work, trying to pump it out-but just as well try to pump the Colorado dry with a squirt gun. The sand and silt flow ing down the canal is so thick that in order to keep the canal anywhere near clear of it now makes the banks look like mountains of mud, and very naturally getting worse all the time pleted it backs the water plumb up to Yuma, subjecting Yuma valley to the two dangers first, raising the bed of the river so high with sand and silt that there is danger of overflow, and second, there is the greater dan ger of seepage.
 There is but one logical thing for the c. D. company to do, and that is to make up it's mind to hook on to Yuma's siphon canal, enlarge our set ting basin, and get it's water at least partly free from sand and silt
 And when that sensible thing shall have been done, Imperial valley will always have plenty of water, Yuma city and Yuma valley will no longer be menaced with the dangers of to- day, and valuable food fish will not be ruthlessly killed by the millions by the whims and caprices of the c. D. company

O after quitting time' for the boys who work for Uncle Sam under the direction of Project Manager Lawson, l saw one of the most pathetic sights that l have witnessed in many a long year, so pa thetic, indeed, that the story is well worth relating.
 It was a big, stout, rosy checked, healthy-looking man, leading mule with a stake-rope about 50 feet long permitting the animal to nibble the grass along the banks of the irrigating ditch running through the reclama- tion service.'s neat grounds. But the mans eyes were neither on the grass nor on the mule. They were riveted on the old pump house that stood on the bank of the. Col orado, about 200 feet from where the man stood with the browsing mule.
 Who's your big friend over there who permits his mule to lead him about as the mule pleases?" 1 asked Man ager Lawson.
 That's broken-hearted man if you ever saw one," re- piled the project manager. Can't you see what he is doing?' he asked me.
 He doesn't seem to be do- ing anything, except gazing towards the dismantled old pumping station, and per mitting the mule to yank him about as it suits the whims of the mule," 1 replied.
 Well, you are partly right, y said the project mana ger.
 His heart was in that old building, completely wrapped up in it's machin- cry, in it's walls, in it's rafters, in it's roof-in fact, there wasn't anything in or about that old pumping plant that he didn't know by heart. Every particle of it was regarded hy him as part and parcel of his very ex- lstence. When he reached the ground this morning and found | gang of In- dians and Mexicans demolishing the old building he stood as motionless as Lott's wife when she was convert ed into pillar of salt. He was dumb-founded, awe-struck, paralyzed!
 He knew I had issued orders to tear the old building down." continued Mr. Lawson, but he didn't have very much faith in the idea that it would

AS >OiOA UNO S very interesting to engi- neers," says Allan Kelly in a front page write-up of the C. D. company's Algodones di- version dam in Yesterdays Los Angeles Examiner.
 And then he launches out into a very extensive disser- tation on the beauties of that structure and reproduces two photographic views, showing the suction, or hydraulic, dredger at work, and the dam as it looked when it stretched from bank to bank.
 Mir. Kelly's write-up gives a lot of facts and figures (ev- idently furnished by the (. D. company that are ex- tremely interesting, showing conclusively that the objeci in diverting every drop of water from the Colorado inlo the c. D. company'S cana! IS to establish its rights 10 the uSeaof all the water it wants prior to the diversion of any of the water for Yuma p'o- ject farmers, which bears out the contention made few days ago by Chief Engineer FriSbie of the high hue canal.
 In this contention. Mr. Frisbie claimed that the c. D. company was diverting a great deal more water than it actually needed; that half of the water diverted was being purely wasted" into the Salton Sea, only for the purpose of hereafter setting up the claim that it needed that much water all the time and had establish ed it's prior right to it's diversion even though part of that water might be needed to irrigate Yuma project.
 The sweet little song so palintively sung by the c. D. company, through it's versatile MT. Kelly, is intended wholly for "home consumption"-that is by the good people of Imperial val ley, who are dependant upon the di- version done for their existence meant to allay the kicks and com plaints that are as numerous as there are settlers in Imperial valley; but if those good people over in the I'm perial valley could only see this dam (thing) with their own eyes they would at once realize that they are liable to be without a single drop of water at almost any hour!
 Not only that but they would see a structure that is an infamous out rage to allow it to stand for a single minute-for every time it is complet- ed it kills fish by the millions!
 This dam was completed on Sep tember 24, and remained as tight as

A PORTRAIT IF NOT A STATUE

The bill introduced in the senate by the Lincoln delegation to pro-
vide for an oil portrait OF Abraham Lincoln for the state capitol bull /
ing, in conmemoraton of the hftth anniversary of Nevadas statehood,
is meeting with universal approval and will doubtless pass without oppo-
Siuon. -"
There has for some time been a movement o n foot to provide ome
suitable memorial COMMUNICATING the 6tieth anniversary OF the admis-
sion of Nevada into the Union, me that would be permanent in form
and of historical value. Such memorial naturally conferred upon one
thing that would evidence the TACT that President Lincoln was very large
~ instrumental in the making OF Nevada a state. Some months ago the
suggestion vas made that a Lincoln monument be erected in front OF
the Capitol building. This suggestion het with approval by the press
throughout the state. Upon investigation of cost however, it vas found
that the least figure a suitable monument could be constructed for would
be $4,000, and that such expense for the present "a considered pro
hibtve. The construction OF the wings to the Capitol building lead to
the suggestion that an oil portrait OF President Lincoln, hung in the
beautiful new assembly chamber. would not only be a fitting memorial
but the cost would be within the ability of the state to provide. The
Corcoran Gallery OF Art OF Washington, ID. c, as requested to furnish
information of existing Lincoln portraits that might be for sale and 10
recommend the names OF artists who might be able to produce a salts
factory picture. After considerable correspondence, attention was direct
ed 10 a Lincoln portrait painted by Charles NJ. Shean of New York.
which was offered for sale for $1,000, a price much lower than any q
the artists consulted would undertake the work for.
A request wa made OF Clarence Mackay, whose friendship for the
state has been demonstrated, to investigate the Shean portrait and adj
wise the informal committee. Mr.. Mackay replied that he had requested
a leading New York artist to examine it who had reported favoraby
and that it was worth the investment
Should the bill pass and it is decided to purchase the Shean portrait,
it probably could be received in time to be unveiled with appropriate
ceremonies or Lincons birthday, February 18th, next
The Dill before the senate authorizes the Lincoln portrait committee,
which is comprised OF the governor, chief justice Of the Supreme court
president OF the senate, speaker OF the assembly and president OF the
State Historical society to purchase either the Shean portrait or TO pro-
cure a portrait from some other artist
