Mexican federal troops crossed the
International border at this little
town, entrained in special cars wait

RECLAMATION MEN
ARE UNDER FIRE
SALT LAKE MEETING ATTENDED
BY WATER OFFICIALS FROM
ALL PARTS OF WEST
Colorado River Project Representa-
tives Charge Alleged Exces-
sive Costs to Unbusiness-
like Methods

| Salt Lake,-Former high reclama-
ton officials and the reclamation de-
partment were under fire Monday,
charged with extravagance and un-
businesslike methods in the construc-
ton of the Uncompahgre reclamation
project in Colorado. according to
testimony presented to the federal
fact-finding commission here by G. ].
Maynihan, attorney for the water
users association Of the Uncompahgre
project, and F. D. Catlin, ranchowner
In the territory since 1880.
The former reclamation directors
and engineers brought under fire were
A. p. Davis, until recently chief OF
the reclamation department, Morris
Bean and A. L. Fellows. James A.
Garfield, former secretary Of the In
terror and secretary at the time OF
the construction of the Uncompahgre
project, was exonerated by the water
users association as party to the
alleged mistakes made in the project.
Mr. Maynihan charged that the
Uncomphgre project was in its pre-
sent financial difficulties because the
actual cost of the project was more
than 81, 900, 900 in excess of the orr
ginal estimate made by the reclaim
alton engineers.
The contract made by the secre-
tary of the interior with the water
users association Of the project was
presented to the commission, along
with affidavits of more than thirty
farmers showing that the reclamation
department promised that S25 would
be the limit per acre on construction.
Instead Of the $50 per acre in the
original estimate" Mr.. Maynihan
stated, "the actual cost per acre to the
farmer has amounted to $6714. The
project, which was estimated to cover
100000 acres and be built at the cost
Of $2,5OO,00O, has actually irrigated
$4,000 acres and cost $6,713,7272 81"
1.-THE work of developing the I'm
compahgre project was started In
1901, when the state of Colorado ap-
propriated $4,000 to build canals in
the valley. The appropriation ran
OuJ III loU% duu tIlS WOlh was uioSOAA-
tinued. Under the reclamation act.
the water users association entered
Into contract with the government Tor
q diversion of the water OF the Gun
nison river and the construction Of a
six-mile tunnel. In 1903 the secre-
tary Of interior approved the plan and
in 1904 the authority for construction
was approved.
1.-THE work on the canal began in
1905 under private contract, but this |
was given up on May 81, 1905, and |
the work taken by the reclamation
service. Despite the protests made |
by the water users associations the |
contract was not submitted to bids"
Mr.. Maynihan stated that the gov
paid $4,000 to the private |
contractor to give up his contract in
May, 1905, and allow the work to
proceed under the reclamation SER
vice. He further added that action
.aken by the reclamation service in
to accept bids was absolute
y against the opinion of the board of
directors of the Uncompahgre project.

COWBOYS IN NEW YORK

When Slim Wager and other cow
boys were in New York In October.
they had a spill of wild steers, and
here is what the New York Times
said of the affair:
A real Wild West show, with all
the trimmings, was staged in Broad
way. Riverside Drive, West End
avenue and other streets for three
hours early today, while cowboys,
txai chauffeurs, policemen and auto
drivers were rounding up four or
five steers which had escaped from
the New York Central Railroad
wards. And the chase was not over
at a late hour, as one steer was
still at large.
About fifteen cowpunchers from
the rodeo at Madison Square Garden
were unloading a car of mustangs
and a car of steers for the rodeo,
when several of the mustangs, ex-
cited over the fact that New York
air has a different tang to it than
that of the plains, kicked down the
side of the gangway from the car
and bolted for the west.
Mustangs Easily Captured
Rounding them up was campara-
lively easy.
Three or four cowboys were on
them in q minute with lassoes.
The real fun began when the five
steers started on a sightseeing trip.
Mack wilkinson, of New Mexico,
and Slim Wager, of Idaho, followed
them on their horses. The steers
separated, two of them jumping into
the river. They were lassoed.
Police signal boxes began flash
ing: Look out for wild steers"
Fifty policemen were on the look
out for them.
Policeman Barrett Ruditsky, of
the West Tooth street station, saw
three charging him and then they
were gone. He commandeered taxi
cab and gave chase. More taxis took
up the chase.
One steer was finally cornered by
taxis at West End avenue and
Ninetieth street. Cowboys Wilkin-
son and Wager hogtied 1t and Wager
remained behind to watch It,
Detectives Join in Chase
Detective Manning, who was a
cowboy fifteen years ago, and De-
tectives Hannigan and Dwyer Joined
the chase for the other steer in their
automobile.
The Columbia Yacht Club is about |
sixty feet lower than Riverside |
Drive, and bridge and stairway
connect the drive with the second
story of the clubhouse. One steer
bolted across the bridge and down
the stairs. Wilkinson, on his horse,
followed. He had the steer, but he
didn't.
More policemen and an ever
growing army of taxis and autos
Joined in the chase.
Then it was learned that the steer
which had been captured by the taxi
drivers had escaped.
Then Wager discarded his horse
for an automobile. Running around |
