Edwin q. Edgerton. special counsel
for the corporation. formerly president

would involve $500. 100000. or twice as
much ms was spent on the Panama
canal.
4,35o.o0o Horsepower.
Generation of u peak load Of $780,
600 horsepower and an annual average
load Of 100000 horsepower from four
development projects along the river
will be possible by flow controlled
by 5O0'foot dam at the head Of Glen
canyon. Arizona.
There the main dam would create n
lake almost 200 miles long. extending
IN the nearly level basin Of the Colo
RADIO 10 the mouth Of the Fremont
river. From this point. the river de-
scends $500 feet In 400 miles.
At Glen canyon dam. according to
plans, n uniform flow OF 1900 second
feet would pass through turbines and
thence through n power canal for 80
miles. Ia the mouth Of the Little Colo
RADIO. This would give n net head Of
800 feet and would generate 1,240.0O0
horsepower.
From the Little Colorado 10 Kanab

large amount of money TO save him,
and after demanding 100000 took
$4,000 from her, the mental attitude of
TIE mother is understandable. and even
calculated to stir some sympathy. That
is what Mrs Bergdoll asserts in testi-
mony before a House of Representa-
tiye's investigating committee, after
she has been granted Immunity from
prosecution.
But the psychology of Mrs. Berg
doll has seemed 40 intricate from what
she has previously asserted. and from
her silence on certain points. that it's
unwise to jump at conclusions. The
accused army officer says the story of
bride is a lie out of the whole cloth. .
Commonly lie has a motive. In bal
ancing probabilities the question
whether Mrs. Bergdoll had an adequate
motive for this lie (if 1t is 1ie) is the
vital question.
Conceiyably the stirring OF sympa-
thy for herself might have seemed such
an adequate motive to woman of
her type of mind. In any case the
probing of the brihe charges should
be vigorous and unintermittent. ua-
