officers OF the Reclamation Service
and left Sunday evening for Yuma,
Arizona. where John r. Richard
son. formerly located here. and others
OF the service are endeavoring TO
stop the annual overflow OF the Color
ado river. The engineers believe that
n series OF dams In the Grand Can

great cost.
When Judge King was asked re-

Springs project. said that when tho
reports OF State Engineer Lewis and

cd the department the matter would
no doubt be given due consideration.

ed by Secretary Lane.
Mr.. Weymouth has been in charge

tion is no doubt an acknowledgment
