PREPARING FUR DEDICAT|ONOF OF
 NEW MEXICO DAM
TRepubllcan A. p. Leased Wlre1


 LAS CRUCES N. M, Sept 23.-The crowning event of virtually twelve years construction of what is regarded as one Of the greatest irrigation pro- jeets iu the world will take place when President Wilson comes or sends rep resentatiVes to New Mexico to dedi- cate the great Elephant Butte Dam, on the Rio Grande, north of Rincon, on October IA. The dedication is to Ice coincident with the holding of the International Irrigation Congress on October II to l9. with the Internation- al Farm Congress and the Interna- tionll Soil Products Exposition, all at El paso, Texas.
 The Elephant Butte Dam is the largest and most important of the ir- rieauon projects that the United States has undertaken in efforts to re- claim the desert lands of several west Crn states and make them productive The work was begun in 1904 when the first borings for the foundations of the monster dam were made Actual construction was commenced in July, 1910. SO that the dedication will be the final formal event of six years work on the project.
 Actual completion. of the construc- ton occurred on May F, last. The dam is the largest piece of masonry for the storage of water in the world. 10 contains 60S,00 cubic yards of re- enforced concrete. It is of the gravity type. straight m plan, 1,31S.7 feet long at the top which is 205 feet above the original level Of Fl Rio Grande. From the deepest excavation the top is BOG feet high. On the top there is an lS-foot roadway The cost of the structure alone was $5,000, 900 with an additional S5.000, ,000 for the many canals and other work necessary for the distribution of the stored water. An of this work is not vet completed.
 The total capacity of the dam is D. csZ .292 acre feet of water, or sufficient to cover this number of acres to the depth of one foot. Putting it in an- other way, the reservoir behind the dam when full. will contain S62 100000 gallons. which. if spread out one foot deep. would cover 4,2S5 square miles, an area over twice that of the state of Delaware.
 The reservoir. pronounced the largest artificial body of water in the world, and known as Lake B. M. Hall, has a shore line of more than 200 miles, and an average width of two miles. MeXi- can towns and villages, many of which have stood for a century or more, all ready are submerged or will be when the lake is filled. Owners of this prop ertv were compensated by the govern ment as were proprietors of vast stretches of grazing land also sub- merged.
 The spillway is of the combination weir and tunnel type. The weir is 275 feet long. divided into five sections with an elevation at the crest of 193 feet above the original river bed. There
Arizona republican., 1916-09-24

are four tunnel outlets, ten feet in di- ameter, with a capacity permitting the safe discharge of 5000 cubic feet of water per second. The discharge is controlled by 10-feet diameter cyclinder gates.
 The dam is a solid wall of masonry and concrete with a width of 215 feet at the base, tapering to a thickness of about 20 feet at the top. It is built to withstand anything but the most severe earthquake shock and is said to be practically indestructable. Some time ago reports were current that Mexicans from across the line planned to dyna- mite the dam, and a company of troops was sent from Columbus for guard duty. Reclamation service officials held that this precaution was unnecces- sary, pointing out that nothing short of trainload of dynamite, the plac- ing of which would require more than year of drilling, would be sufficient to materially injure the dam.

 SLIGHT MISTAKES
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

BUDAPEST, Sept. 21, (Via London
 Sept. 24.)-A measure supported by
 Count Andrassy and Count Apponyi
 and having as its purpose the con
 vening of the Austro- Hungarian dele
 cations for considerations of matters
 asserted to be pressing was voted
 down in the Hungarian diet tonight.
 Among the subjects to be thus consid-
 cred were the federal governments al-
 legged failure in diplomatic and mill i-
 tary affairs connected with the decla-
 ration of war by Rumania and the in
 vasion of Pennsylvania.
 The supporters of Count TiZsa, the
 Hungarian premier, have charged that
 the Andrassy and Apponyi factions in the diet are overplayirg slight mis- takes on the part of the government, with the object of succeeding to power themselves. The session of parlia ment today showed little inclination on the part of Count Tiszas oppon- ents to make undue fuss; so the final deoate on the Andrassy and Apponyi :, measure was very quiet proceed | ing.
 Harmony was therefore reestab- lished in parliament. During the de- l bate Count TisZa made mention of the I relations between the dual monarchy | and the United States, referring to | the charge that the Austro- Hungarian 1 government was sulking and that this was the reason why thus far Vienna l had failed to appoint a new ambas- l SadOr at Washington Count Tisza denied that the government, was sulk- | ing adding:
 Tt would serve no purpose to enter
 into The details of this question, but l must state that in the relations be- tween our minister of foreign affairs and the American ambassador, there is nothing that could serve as a req 1 son for such conclusion. There is not l a single fact for this-not a single one"

cated in Sierra county, will irrigate
 320, 900 acres of land in the Rio Grande
 valley, in New Mexico. Texas and the Mexican state of Chihuahua, extending
 l30 miles below the dam
 By treaty with Mexico the United States agrees to deliver to Mexico 20,- 900 feet of water annually without cost
 In return Mexico valves all rights to the waters of the Rio Grande from the
 New Mexico Chihuahua line to Fort Quitman, Tex, approximately 75 miles. When arrangements for the dam were first made, farmers owning land to be irrigated came to an agreement to pay the government $40 per acre of land on which the water was used, and it
 was estimated that this would reim-
 purse the government for the entire cost of the project. But the cost great
 ly exceeded the original estimate, and it was finally determined that the cost to the farmers would be S65 an acre. Protest against the increase followed with the result that Senator Fall, of New Mexico, introduced a bill in the senate, limiting the cost of the project
 to the farmer at $20 per acre, the bal ance to be borne by the general gov
