Green River hundred miles below
the Flaming Gorge site. This site
is remarkable in that dam only
210 feet high would impound 49,
100000 acre-feet of water. The
greatest depth to bedrock, a factor
of great influence on the cost of a
dam, is 121 feet, and the canyon is
not narrow. This site should be
held available by the Federal Gov
ernment until it is absolutely GER
tain that the site id not needed in
the general scheme for development
Of the river. If the site is restored
to entry, it will be seized at once
by the Denver and Salt Lake Rail
road. The railway can be built
around the reservoir site.
A reservoir at the junction of the
Green and the Grand has been und-
er consideration for many years. II

streams. A dam $50 feet high

Colorado River and Arizona's Inter

says, upon the subject of Reservoir
Sites"
There are scores, hundreds, of
storage sites in the middle and up
per parts of the Colorado basin
Many Of them have been surveyed,
and at several of the sites the
depth to bed rock has been ascer-
tanned by diamond drilling. The
Strawberry Valley site in Utah and
the Roosevelt site in Arizona and
sSme small sites have been occu-
pied already. For the complete reg
ulation and utilization of the river,
there are adequate natural oppor-
tunities; the real problem is as to
which is the best. A few of the
largest and most promising of these
sites. those which are Of greatest
public interest, will be discussed
The Dewey reservoir site is stu
ted On the Grand River just west
Of the Utah-Colorado line. Although
one of the last to be discovered, it

is one of the best. 1t is the only
site for a large reservoir on the
Grand River EXCEPT the Kremmling,
and that site is occupied by rail
read. The bedrock at the Dewey
site is only A feet below the river
bed, and the capacity of a dam on
ly 215 feet high from river bed to
spillway is 100000 acre-feet.
The Flaming Gorge site is on the
Green River in Utah Just south of
the Wyoming line. The greatest
depth to bedrock is 73 feet, and a
515-foot dam will impound 3,120,0o0
acre-feet The width of the canyon
is 200 feet The Flaming Gorge and
the Dewey sites control the most
important headwaters of the Colo
rado. Both are excellent projects
and should be under construction

Another excellent site is on the

Things were strewn about the room and lhere were blood stains on the floor. She bsked Miss Eitelman what the matter was and the reply was that she didn't lsel well. The witness then told Miss Ei- Islman she knew what the matter was rith her.
 When asked where the baby was Miss Etelman told the witness that it was b the bureau drawer. Mrs Meunier said Bhe went to the drawer and saw a bun. ale. She took the bundle out and laid h on the bed and made Miss Etelmar bpen 1t. (Here the witness broke down md questioning was suspended until she painsd control of herself)

The Hi-Liners are on their way
home today and will open at the city
park for two game series with Wah-

While on the road trip just completed
the Hi-Liners have played eleven
games and managed to get the long
end Of the scores in three of them.
There have been a few changes in the
lineup but not nearly enough, it be-
ing the opinion of most of the fans in
the city that we need about ten new
men. The merchants of the city have
supported the team in good style, con-
tributing money whenever asked to
keep them in the league, but the boys
do not seem to appreciate the backing
they have received and have never
given the city all they were capable
of. All they seem to be thinking of
is their meal ticket and pay day. They
have forty games to play yet this sea-
son but they will have to do better
than they have lately to improve their
percentage any. For that matter,
we've homesteaded the cellar position,
we have prior rights to it and will
fight any team that tries to force us
out of it. The only question that
arises now is-what will be the alibi
this time?

to bed when it's days work is done,
walked out yesterday and left The

resulted in the sympathetic strike of

turn its wheels for very long without
their tender ministrations. In fact the
