WASHINGTON. April 9.-The high
est dam in the world. to join the states
of Nevada and Arizona, and harness the
turbulent waters of the Colorado river
for extended irrigation in the southwest,
is to be constructed in the near future
by the United States reclamation service.
The dam, according to tentative plans,
would rise to the unprecedented height of
500 or 600 feet in Boulder canyon, where
granite abutments rise more than / 900
feet above the waters surface. Engineers
of the reclamation service aflOat on
barges, are now boring for bed rock be-

A lake varying from 80 to 80 miles in
length would be backed up in the Colorado
and Virgin rivers and in this basin would
be held in check for irrigation the drain

basin, including parts of six states.
The proposed structure wOud be higher
by t.r than the worlds highest dam at

and would top other famous dams in the

TURNER'S WEAK IN
SHOOTING GOALS
Score One-Sided, but Game
Fast and Clean, Won
by Athletics
FINAL STANDING
1914; THREE PERIODS

Locals Strong in Passing, with Sure
Fire Eye for Basket-Preliminary by
winchester and AshuelOt Girls Won
by Former, 9 to 5.
In q game that was not so one-sided
as the score would lead one to believe, the
BrattIeboro Athletics defeated the Tur
ners Falls ball tossers in Festival hall
last night by a score of 40 to II.
Both teams played clean, fast game,
and while Turner's Falls does not show up
very strong on the scoring end it was be
cause they were away off color on shooting
rather than not being in the game, for
at times they showed good passing and
fast but when it came to shooting they
were minus quantity. On the other
hand the locals showed a strong passing
game and a sure-fre eye for the basket.
Joker Cakes apparently had no trou-
bic in caging the ball from any position,
registering y dOubledeckers.
The visitors were not able to keep the
pace that the locals set and at times just
held back, resting, until the bail ap-
preached the danger point, letting the
Athletics have good time developing
their team work AT one time in the last
period the visitors acted bewildered and
helpless against the locals passing game,
which made the Turner's Falls outfit look
like nOvices at the sport.
For the first time this season the game
was played in three periods instead of the
usual two, and somehow it seemed as if
the teams played faster with the shorter
sessions allowing them two chances to
rest, and seemed to come back stronger
and faster in the last period than in
either of the other two.
BrattlebOrO got away to q flying start,
dropping in five goals from the floor be-
fore the visitors could get started, and
then the visitors only got one. The locals
gathered two more and one point from a
foul in this period.
In the second period Turner's Falls
started out with a burst of speed and reg
iStered the first counter. BrattleborO got
three goals and the visitors connected
with another but the locals flashed in
three more finishing the period q to 6.
The Athletics again assumed the often
sive to open the last period, promptly
dropping in three, then Shea got loose for
q short spell, connecting for two, and inst

Athletics proceeded to open up on the
speed. playing them to a Standstill, regis
