RANDALL PUSHES BILL
 COLORADO RIVER DAM

WASHINGTON, May 19-"The Gand Canyon of the Colorado river contains power and irrigation re- sources which stagger the human mind in their gigantic possibilities" was the comment today of Congress- man Randall when he reintroduced his bill authorizing the secretary of the interior to construct a series of dams in that river to store water, prevent flood damage and to create electric energy.
 Enough power is going to waste there to run every engine west of Denver" said Randall, land it is so cheap that coal looks like 30 cents a ton. The series of dams will hold back the vast flood waters which run to the sea, imperiling millions of dol lars in property in the Imperial val ley and other places. This plan does not deprive Mexico of one drop of the normal flow of the river, but conser- yes only the floods. ..
 "A startling innovation in dam building is proposed as the great steel and concrete structures may be anchored to the granite walls of the canyon. and will not touch the bottom of the river. The normal river flow will pass under the dam, thus tend ing continually to deepen the SCOUT of the river bed instead of filling it with silt behind each dam.
 "Noted engineers have studied this scheme and given approval. This ranks second only to the Panama canal as a governmental constructive enterprise and it will give homes and property to literally millions who will tap the fabulous wealth of South western United States"
