Irrigation Plan Aud Estimated Cost.
50. Jolly Hill Project. The plan here
proposed is to provide a 1000 acre foot re-
servO,r by the construction of a dam to
a point locally knoWn as jolly HliI-See
Plates "A" and 4. There is at present
a small diversion structure at this point
and an 49, concrete pipe leading there
from to a small concretelined reservoir
and thence on down to the lands or the
La Grange Sugar Factory. A variable
radius arch dam is proposed at this point
with d maximum height from stream bed
to spillw8y crest of about soft, or to eIe-
walton $50. 400 fit. top radius would be
required, and the crest length Of the dam
800 feet. The maximum probable flow IS
estimated as a 1907 ruDolt from a two
inch per hour rainfall over a water shed
of 2 Of sQ. miles. or a food OF 2P0 sec.
fl. This would result ir a depth Of about
is #. over the spiIIWaf. There IS sohd
rock exposed in the bottom Of the wash
at this point, and the soil is very shallow
on the slopes. The rock Is of the hardest
variety of the older ornati0n and APP
pears quite suitable for the foundation Of
an arch dam. As a p~rPCautlOn against
D seams, however, it is planned TO
excavate the foundation to an average
depth OF 10 feet, and to seal the cracks
below this by drilling and cement grout-
ing under pressure. Good concrere ag-
gregate can be obtained at the dam site
by crushing the local rock, or sand and
gravel can be secured from the sea beach
which is the usual source Of supply tor
]aoncrete work on the Island. The sea
beach gravel is Of good quality. but the
sand would not stand a very high test
though a fair Y good grade concrete is
mad from it. A 24 inch cast iron pipe
outlet is proposed through the dam at
elevation 100. or under a maximum head
Of loft. This will be provided with a
valve gate at the outlet end, and it will
discharge into the natural rock channel.
A short distance below the dam, or about
opposite the present small reservoir, a
small diversion structure is proposed.
From this the J | and j canals will di
vert, the former running to the south,
as far as the center line road if necessary
for the irrigation of a net area Of so
acres, and the j canal running north to
water a net area eff 200 acres. These can
ais will be concrete lined throughout.
See Table II for details Of canals.
60 The area to be reclaimed by this
project is Il, 900 acres net or 1850 acres
benefited. and the estimated cost is
S5O7, 900 or $406. 90 per acre for the area

 Miss Gilreath declared that she and Donahue had been engaged for more than a year, but that she had con- tinuaAy postponed the date of the wedding until he could cure himself of the liquor habit. She denied, how ever, that there had been any quarrel between them, and was at a loss to ex- plain the tragedy. The man died mur- muring his love for her.
 Mrs. W. c. Lawless, sister of Dona- hue, was also unable to account for the suicide. She said he had not acted in any way unusual prior to commit ting the act.
 Johns ambulance carried the man to the hospital. Coroner J. D. Russum made a preliminary investigation of the death Thursday night, and will com. plete his investigation later.
 DOnahue is survived by two sisters, Mrs. w. c. Lawless of Birmingham, and Mrs. Hattie Lane of Mississippi; three brothers, Dewey, Hardy and John Donahue of Mississippi. The body will be sent to Jackson, Mise, at 10 :O5 o'clock Friday morning by Johns for burial.
