Goose Goslin played an atrocious

He drew a pass in the eighth.
Hank Shanks made a fine play on

Accomplishing The Impossible

y
The provoking thing about the Sit
uation was that there was good
sized river not far away. But the
river. running through the GunniSon
CANYON, was separated from the valley
BY mountain range half mile hiEh
and six miles thick. The canyon Is
walled by almost vertical cliffs. and no
man had ever gone through 1t alive.
Nevertheless, TWO engineers. let down

pahgre Valley.
Where the Colorado Canyon dam IS
concerned. very important object IN
view is TO control the. waters OF the
Colorado River and so prevent floods
which at frequent intervals do enor-

tains In each instance OF the kind
there is a special problem 10 be
tackled by the engineers. and in over
coming the difficulties involved they
have done things which approach the
miraculous.
1t is true that = bigger job than
any they have yet undertaken now
c0fronts them. II is the damminS
OF the great Colorado Canyon. where
by the largest irrigation reservoir in
the world will be created, holding
enough water to form a lake 1000
square miles in surface area and 80
feet deep.
For the erection OF the dam. choice
has been made OF a narrow place in
the canyon. where there are suitable
abutments of rock on both sides. At
that point the great cut. chiseled by
the river that runs through il, is near
" a mile deep. The dam will be
. 900 feet long and 500 feet high.

now worthless and uninhabitable. and
the power incidentally developed will

Though so huge job, the project
above described offers difficulties by
no means so great as some which
have confronted the engineers else
where. and which they have success
fully overcome. For example. there
was the puzzle they struck in the
Uncompahgre Valley OF Colorado. II

in the world. and was watered. though
not plentifully. Settlers who went in
there in large numbers found that
there was not enough water for their

be wacered by irrigation.
That is the business OF the Re-

succeeded in transforming 100000
acres OF desert into garden spots that
rival in fruitfulness the most pro-
ductive agricultural tracts in the
world. These areas, in formerly wa

over the West and Southwest. They

What has been done. however. Is
only one-sixteenth OF the entire work.
There Is water available for S0,OoO.OOo

CALIFORNIA SENATOR MAKES 4 STRONG ATTACK ON PACIFIC FOUR POWER TREATY SAYING IS RECESSION FROM IDEALS

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Senator Johnson of California led today in the attack on the Pacific Four Power Treaty. Assailing the treaty as a Quadruple alliance Johnson told the Senate that the ratification of the treaty would mean not only the reces- sion from American tradition of free. dom from entangling alliances but 1t would be national surrende, under threat of foreign powers.
 The speech of Senator Johnson was delivered with all the fire and force for which he is noted. Providing the Democrats remain solid against the ratification of the treaty the power of Senator Johnson and the other three Republicans arrayed against 1t, threat ems the safe passage of the Pacific treaty through the Senate.

ALLIES HOPE SHIFT WAR DEBT
 ONTO GERMANY
TENTATIVE PLANS OF GENOA ENcE PROVIDE SHIFT WAR DEBT oWINFG UNITED STATES ONTO GERMANY.

PARIS, March 14.-The plan which has been worked out by the Anglo Italian conference for the payment of the European war debt of Europe and which will be presented to the Genoa conference provides that this debt be shifted by the allies to Germany re- quiriag her to pay off the entire in- deD.nity in five years.
 The result of this plan would be to deprive France of her preponderent military position by taking away from her the present source of income thru the German reparation payments. But France would benefit in the sharing of the general prosperity resulting from an early return to economic normalcy in Europe.
 Belgium has subscribed to the prin- ciples of these arrangements but France has not yet approved them.
