Worlds Greatest
Electrical Plant
For Colorado River

Los Angeles, June 27-The worlds
greatest electrical project" is the
phrase used by some engineers in de-
scribing the plans of the Southern
California Edison company for I'm
pounding the waters of the Colorado
river and developing hydro electric
ton over a wide area of the south
west
Edwin Q. Edgerton, special coun-
sci for the corporation and formerly
president of the California State
Railroad Commission, stated the pro-
iect ultimately would involve possible
$500, 900, or twice as much as was
spent on the Panama canal.
Applications for permission to i'm
pound the waters of the river have
been accepted for filing from the
company by the Federal Power Com
mission and the Arizona Water Com
mission. 1t is expected similar appli-
cations will be filled with correspond
ing commissions in other southwest
ern states.
Generations of a peak load of A.
$4,000 horse power, and an annual
average load of 100000 horsepower
from four developments projects
along the river will be possible, it is
stated, if the stream flow is con-
trolled by the first of the four-a 500
foot daon planned for the head Of
Glen canyon, Ariz
At that point, it is stated, the main
n m nvnu ~ IL
miles long, extending backward from
the dam, up the nearly level basin Of
the Colorado to the mouth of the Ere
mont river. From this point, the riv-
or descends in 400 miles from 5000
feet above sea level to 500 feet above
sea level. a fall of $500 feet. To this
$500 feet of the dam itself, giving a
gross head of 5000 feet for power de-
velopment
At the Glen canyon dam, according
to plans. uniform flow of $4,000
second feet would pass through fur
bines and thence through a power
canal for fifty miles, to the mouth of
the Little Colorado. This would give
a net head of 800 feet and would
generate 100000 horsepower.
From the Little Colorado to Kanab
creek, net head Of 700 feet could be
secured in IS miles. which would
generate 100000 horsepower.
In the 145-mile stretch between
Kanab creek and the Arizona boun-
dairy lire, at Diamond, a net head of
500 feet could be secured by the use
of two high dams. The river would
deliver to switchboards about l.240.-
600 additional horsepower, according
to Southern California Edison engi-
neers.
The fourth DEVELOPMENT would
cover the 120-mile stretch between
the Arizona boundary and the Cot
tonwood valley. This would afford a
5o0-foot head and deliver 10000
horsepower.
1t Id eentended that among tine re-
suits OF the project. when completed,
would be:
Absolute food control.

acres, of which 100000 acres would
lie above the canyons.
Three hundred miles of the river
would be made navigable.
The area which could be served
with power includes the entire states
of Arizona. Nevada and Utah, more
than one half of Colorado and New
Mexico. one fifth of Idaho and Wy
oming and three quarters of Califor-
MIA, with possibly large areas in
northern Mexico.
Power would be used for the cleo
trification of steam railroads, as well
as for commercial agricultural, min
ing and municipal uses, thus saving
10000, 900 barrels Of fuel oil a year.

desk in one end of the room outside
the cell house proper. They beat
him with an iron bar that somehow
they had contrived to get, but were
unable TO make him give up the keys
to the cells.
Sanchez's call for help was heard
by P. J. Dugan, deputy warden, who
had gone to his home Just outside
the prison grounds. Hurrying over,
he climbed to a window to make an
observation. Finding he could do
nothing from that point he went to
another window and fired two shots,
one of them striking Parry in the
leg. Parry then called upon OBrien,
who was still struggling with San
