Marcial, New Mexico and Fabens,
Tex. The project as proposed is for
the irrigation of 10000 acres of the
rich valley lands both in New Mexico
and Texas, and, by the convention be-
tween the United States and Mexico
signed May 21, 1906, about 10000
acres will be irrigated in the republic
of Mexico.
The source of water supply is the
Rio Grande, which is a stream of eS-
treme fluctuations, varying from no
flow to flow of over 10000 cubic
feet per second. 1t is necessary, there
fore, in the efficient development of
the project, to provide storage reser-
voirs and diversion dams for the regu-
lation of the flow. The plans as de.
veloped consist of one large storage
reservoir and at least four separate
diversion and irrigation systems. The
four systems are necessary on account

YeI!Ow.BeI!led Sapsucker
(SphyrapIeus varlusl J

Length, about eight and one-half
inches. Only woodpecker having top
OF head from base Of bill red, COM
bined with black patch on breast.
Range: Breeds in northern half Of
the United States and southern half of
Canada winters in most of the states
and south to Costa Rica.
Habits and economic status: The
yellow-bellied sapsucker is rather ST.
lent and suspicious and generally man
ages to have a tree between himself
and the observer. Hence the bird is
much better known by it's work than
its appearance. The, regular girdles
of holes made by this bird are com.
mon on great variety of trees; in all
about $50 kinds are known to be at
tackled. Occasionally young trees are
killed outright, but more loss is caused
by stains and other blemishes in the
wood which result from sapsucker
punctures These blemishes, which are

numerous in hickory, oak, cypress, and
yellow poplar. Defects due to sap

25O,OOO. The food of the yellow-bel-
lied sapsucker is about half animal
and half vegetable. It's fondness for
ants counts slightly in its favor. 1t
eats also wasps, beetles (including,
however, very few wood-boring spe-
cies), bugs, and spiders. The two
principal components of the vegetable
food are wild fruits of no Importance
and cambium (the layer just beneath
the bark of trees). In securing the
cambium the bird does the damage
above described. The yellow-bellied
sapsucker, unlike other woodpeckers,
thus does comparatively little good
and much harm.

Cooper's Hawk
(Accipter cooperi)

Length, about fifteen inches. Me-
dium sized, with long tail and short
wings, and without the white patch
on rump which is characteristic of
the marsh hawk.
Range: Breeds throughout most of
the United States and southern Can
ada; winters from the United States
to Costa Rica.
Habits and economic status: The
Cooper's hawk, or blue darter," as
it is familiarly known throughout the
South, is pre-eminently a poultry and
bird-eating species, and it's destructive
ness in this direction is surpassed
only by that Of its larger congener,
the goshawk, which occasionally in
autumn and winter enters the United
States from the North in great num-
bers. The almost universal prejudice
against birds of prey is largely due to
the activities of these two birds, as
sisted by a third, the sharp-shinned
hawk. which in habits and appearance

will enter the inclosure at night by
the overland route and lie still. Some
times they manage, by their claws,
which are very powerful, to make an
opening in the fence, and secure an
entrance. After this they will remain
quiet, and catch the first bather as
soon as he enters the water. The
crocodile, however, cannot carry away
the body Of it's victim on account of
the fence, and it has to risk its own
life, as the villagers will try to kill

leys, the Palmos, the Rincon, the
Mesilla and the FL Paso valleys. Be-
tween these valleys the river flows
through comparatively narrow gorges.
Three of the diversion dams have
been built and are now in use. They
are the Leasburg diversion dam, the
Mesilla diversion dam and the Mexi-
can diversion dam. The Leasburg
diversion dam is located at the head
of the Mesilla valley in New Mexico
one mile north of the site of old Fort
Selden, and diverts water for use on
the upper part of the Mesilla valley.
This dam was the first work construct
ed by the reclamation service on the
Rio Grande project. The Mesilla diver
sion dam is located near MesiIla Park,
New Mexico, about the middle of the
Mesilla valley, and furnishes water to
lands on both sides of the river in
the lower part of the Mesilla valley.
This dam has just been completed.
The Mexican dam is located at the
upper end Of the Ell Paso valley Just
above the city of Ell Paso, Tex. This
dam was constructed a number of
years ago by the Mexicans and serves
to divert water both to the lands on

Out of a number of almost SOC stu

This is a big change from last years
registrations as more than half Of
the students at that time registered
in the general course.
superintendent Park announced to-

absent until they register. He hopes
by this ruling to get the regular class

He never stated what means would be

II this interest can be maintained

COWBOYS BITEDUST

The first tryouts OF the year at
Roundup Park yesterday proved that
the sturdy Roundup horses have not
lost any of their old time vigor nor
knowledge of the bucking game. Sew
eral cowboys in search of adventure
bit the dust yesterday at the expense
of some OF the buckers.
Even old Sharkey, the famous Bel
grade bucking bull. took delight in
piling a couple of boys for the bene-
fit OF the crowd of interested specta-
tors who flocked to the park to watch
the performance.
The cowboys who braved the at
tempt TO ride the norses yesterday
declare that the horses without ex.
ception are in better condition this
year than ever. With ten days
workout their bucking ability should
be of the best variety.
Among the better known horses
who were trotted out yesterday were
lee. Snake and Nut Cracker. Snake
and lzee piled their riders in good
fashion although the cowboys put up
a good ride. There will be no tryouts
today.

NO FIREWORKS DISPLAY
FOR ROUNDUP VISITORS
Happy Canyon Directors Decide
Against Attraction But Suggest Ii
Be staged on Fourth Of July.

The spectacular fireworks display
proposed for Roundup week by F. c.
Harley of Astoria and NJ. H. Squires
of the Columbia Fireworks Co of
Portland, will not be presented to
Pendleton and her visitors at this
time, but it is very probable that
steps will be taken to present it as a
feature of the next Fourth of July
celebration.
The two gentlemen formally pre-
sented their proposition to the direc-
tors of Happy Canyon yesterday after
noon. Because of the Happy Cam
yon entertainments during four even
lngs of Roundup week. it was decid-
ed that It would be unwise to present
rival attraction Messrs Harley and
Squires wished to stage their display
ON Tuesday evening and offered to
take all risks, but the directors
thought that such a meritorious at.
traction should not be subjected to
the chances of failure The main
crowd is not here by Tuesday and
there is so much going on during the
week that it was the general opinion
that big crowd could not be drawn
for the fireworks Tuesday More
over, 1t was believed that holding such
display Mt Roundup Park might
stampede the stock OF the Round Up.
Therefore, the visitors were asked
to defer their proposition until the
next Fourth of July when a big
crowd would be assured. Their dis
play consists of aerial bombs and
many set pieces such as the eruption
Of Mt Lassen, a butklng broncho, and
heads Of local people.
