would damage the Imperial Valley to the same extent, and it is not likely that we, with ten times the land un- der cultivation, would take any chances on doing anything to damage it. The two valleys must work to- Gether, and not at cross purposes and, as a matter of fact, there is no conflict save such as is stirred up by outsiders and trouble-makers
 MT. Clark also intimated that if they wanted the rock removed, they would have to remove it, and he was most optimistic regarding the future of the valley and it's water supply.
 we will have all the water we need for the entire valley" he said, not only in February, but later, un- less something unforeseen takes place.
 Remember this, the Colorado river is not under control, and no man can tell what may happen. For example, last year I built a weir dam across the river with a four-foot head of water, and this year when we built we had to go up against an eight-foot head, so you see, no one can tell"
 All through his talk, the engineer, who is in close personal touch with the whole situation, showed his confi- dence in the future of the water sup ply and was pisitive in his state ments.
 Asked regarding Mark Rose and his statements regarding the insufficient cy of the work now in progress, and that it would not amount to "30 cents," as Mark stated to the Chron- icle representative, Mr. Clark said:
 Don't ask me that I refuse to dis cuss the matter at all. The ChrOn- icle editorial of yesterday answers that question fully and completely and nothing further is to be said"
 He then referred to the fact that the Chronicle men were newspaper men of years of experience and said, q can go down on any corner almost and find fellows who will undertake to tell you more about your work than you know yourselves" The applica- ton of this is plain.
 Summed up, it appears from all that could be learned that the water supply for the coming year is assured, al ways provided that some unforeseen calamity does not overtake us, and that it is ridiculous to attach any se- rious importance to the vaporings of Farmer Mark Rose and Reporter Ben Fly. Both may know something about their own lines of work, but mighty little about engineering and practical handling of water.

HANLON DAM IS
 REMOVED EXCEPT ROCK Engineer Clark Says Yuma's and Im- periaI Valleys Dangers
 Are Mutual. Two Sections Should Now Work
 Together. Expects Plenty of Water Coming Year, Despite Croakings of
 Sad Prophets.

In the current number of Colonel B. F. Fly's fearless champion of the Yuma Project" that great seer of bugle call journalism and Nick Carter literary stuff, paints a doleful picture of the predicament in which he has dreamed the Imperial Valley.
 Stripped of all it's useless dressing the colonels story is to the effect that Imperial Valley stands in the shadow of a tremendous calamity. It must remove the dam built in the Colorado within week or 10 days now or for felt to the government the $25,000 bond put up and the $100,000 bond to the Yuma Water Users Association.
 And then, according to the same colonel, if we comply with the re quirements, as he alleges are set forth in the bond, we will be without water in February and our cantaloupe crop will go to the demnition bow-bows without hope or with the salvaging of single cent. This is the doleful picture painted and the swan song" sung for the valley by Colonel Fly.
 When seen this morning, Chief En- gineer Clark, after reading the ar ticle, said that there was no danger, and that conditions at this time were most favorable to full and complete water supply.
 "The bonds," he explained, were given to Yuma people to protect them from possible damage by failure to remove the dam, and the one to the government provided for the removal of the dam when ordered to be re- moved, but no orders to that effect have been issued On the tenth of this month we blew out the last of the piling and, therefore, nothing re- mains but rock in the bottom, and this is no menace to Yuma. This one thing must be borne in mind, that Yu- ma Valley and Imperial Valley inter ests arei identical and what would in jure one would injure the other. Should there be sufficient rise in the river to damage Yuma people, it

The board of commissioners of Ok mulgee county, Oklahoma, having pre- viously voted an SS00,OOO serial road bond and having sold the bonds at 5 per cent premium, received propos- als October 17th for improving the principal roads in the county with either brick, Portland cement con- crete, macadam or Warrenite Two months time was put in by the com m1ssioners in thoroughly investiga- ting the various types of proposed paving.
 Under advice of Harrington, How ard & Ash, consulting engineers of Kansas City and Max Cunningham, state highway commissioner of Okla hOma City, the board of commission CTS last week awarded the contract for the entire road construction to the Western Paving Company of Ok lahoma City, for Warrenite road, un- der the patents and expert laboratory supervision of Warren Brothers Com pany, Boston, Mass.
