Water having been shut off at the
Magic Dam the 18th engineers from
the state and other projects came
here Tuesday and examined the gate
to determine the cause of it sticking
A temporary dam and gate had been
put in above the stuck gate to shut
off the water so it could be examined
but as the water is 90 feet deep at
this point it was impossible to shut
it off altogether but an examination
was made by Commissioner Of Re-

the peculiar situation. After receiv-
ing an account Of what had been done
in the matter by Manager Bailey
from the directors they could offer
no suggestions that had not already
been tried and suggested the secur-
ing of a deep sea diver to 90 down
and make a thorough examination Of
the gate and ascertain the reason for
its sticking. Wednesday they tele-
graphed to San Francisco to obtain
the services Of a diver and it is ex-
pected that ten days more will solve
the problem of what caused the gate
to stick and the remedy.

map of Europe was so bally cut up
by the peacemakers at Paris that it
is still constant puzzle to many peo.
pie, especially Americans. The geam-
1aphy of the new Baltic republics and
the countries in the Balkans and Near
East seems to be particularly obscure.
European postal authorities find that
Americans often confuse Serbia with
Siberia, Rumania with Armenia, Ju.
goslavia with Czecho- -Slovakia, Buch-
Arrest with Budapest, Bulgaria with
Bavaria, and so on.

Balkans said recently to the CORE

government officials often show dis

American consular chief in Belgrade
received an official seal from the state
department, the steel die of which
read "Jugo- -Slovakia.'
