making the call proved unavailing.
The girls were seated on the Billings

On the return of the taxi to the

Sergeant Sullivan was sent TO the

TNGINEERS of the federal recla-

preliminary report, based on a
hasty. tentative survey. on flood pre-
yention for the city of Pueblo and the
Arkansas river valley. y copy OF the
report has been received by Secretary
of the Interior Fall, and second
copy has been sent 10 the mayor of

The engineers. James Mum and j.
l.. Savage of the Denver reclamation
office have suggested several different
plans and combinations of plans for
flood prevention which would entail
estimated costs ranging from $1,000
90 TO ST., 5oO,00O.
One plan for the Arkansas river
calls for flood detention storage of
10000 acre feet with such repairs TO

quired To provide a safe capacity of
5000 second feet through Pueblo.
Another plan provides for the en-

largement of the channel through
Pueblo and for a concrete channel.
Bank protection is one of four plans
suggested for Fountain creek.
The engineers make it plain that
their present recommendations are
ut this time and that complete study
Of the problems involved will require
much more time and more accurate
photographic and topographic data
than is now ut hand and also much
detailed engineering work.
They found a dearth Of accurate top
ographic and other essential data
on which to base even a preliminary
study.
All the alternative plans which in
clude flood detention storage with pos
sible use of the Steel Hollow reservoir
site. would benefit property interests
in the Arkansas valley below Pueblo.
while the alternative plan embracing
only channel enlargement or bank
protection through Pueblo would not
protect property interests in the val
ley below Pueblo.
Due To the limited storage posi-
bilities and as a very little. if any,
water is available for storage in the
Arkansas river above Pueblo, there
does not appear 10 be any project of
developing irrigation storage with
economy in conjunction with flood de-
tention storage" reads the report.

Oil Shale When Our Crude Oil Is Gone

~ H-BEARING shale in the United
States is capable of supplying
all of the country's demands for
petroleum when the supply of crude
oil is exhausted. This announcement
is contained in report of the bureau
of mines.
Oil shale up to the present time has
not been mined on commercial scale
In this country. Since the middle Of
the last century oil shale mining has
been an important origin of oil in Scot
land and France.
Rich and easily accessible deposits
of the oil-bearing shale are said to
exist in Colorado, Utah, Montana, Ne
vada and California, where some shale
oil already has been produced and
used successfully. Several small re-
ducing plants have been in operation
for some time, and others are under
construction near Debeque. Colo. (;
Watson, Utah; Elko, New. and Dillon,
Mont.
Tests indicate that the yield of oil
shale is all the way from practically
nothing up to ninety gallons or more
n ton. Much shale is too thin 10 be
mined commercially, but there are ex-
tensive deposits running from several
feet TO 30 feet in thickness.
ut is estimated by the geological
survey" says the report. that the
curve of crude oil production will
reach its peak within few years. and
then the country will have to look
more and more to other sources for
