PRELIMINARY WORK ALREADY
STARTED ON COOLIDGE DAM

The preliminary work of soundings
for the foundations of the Coolidge
dam in the Gila river near San Carlos
is beEng carried on at present pre-
paratory to preparing specifications
for the letting Of contracts ror the
construction of the 280-foot bridge
by the Indian service. This is the
first real work that has been zone
on this project, which will, when COM
pleted, put water on more than
100000 acres of aEd Arizona lands.
The dam will have storage capacity
of 100000 acre feet and will store
$4,000 acre feet of the annual flow
of the Gila river.
When this dam was authorized con-
gress appropriated $5,5O0,OOO for its
construction; $1,025,O00 of that ap-
preparation is now available for con-
struction work. Before starting on
the real work of dam construction
a great deal of preparatory work
must be done, such as building roads
movings the roadbed of the Bowie
Globe branch ,of the Southern Pacific
which occupies much space in the
reservoir site and the moving of the
Apache Indian reservation.
More than 1000 Indians VIII be
served with water from this dan
covering 10000 acres of their land
A. w. Empie, timekeper u S. Indiar
service, was in from the dam Sunday
and reports that the road work is
practically finished, except service
road in the bottom of the canyon
The survey for the power line from
Hayden has been completed and the
construction of the line will begxn as
soon as the material can be assembled.
The 80 steel towers that it will re-
quire to carry the transmission line
will all have to be packed to their
locations.
Ground has been cleared for camp
site, and the erection of suitable
buildings to house the employees will
be started soon. At the present time
there are Is white men and about 80
Indians connected with the work, un-
der direction of G. H. Southworth,

the engineer for the Indian service.
In recent article on this dam Col.
j. H. McClintock, a former state his
torian, gives some very interesting
history and data in regard to the
former occupant of this area. Colonel
McClintock says:
"The area to be reclaimed, named
after the great ruins of prehistoric
community houses, was farmed, n
thousand years ago, by people who
built canals from the Gila and who
were possessed of culture similar
to that of the Pueblo tribes Of today.
Their homes were ruins when seen,
about 1894, by Padre Kino, the first
white man to write of the region,
while the Pimas tell that wnen their
forefathers came the ruins even then
were ruins. The Pimas cleaned out
some of the ancient ditches anG were
farming when the Spaniards arrived,
raising corn, cotton, beans and squash.
Being landowners, they were con-
servatives among the Indians and
they joyously helped the white man
in his campaigns against the Apache
Ishmaelites of the hills.
"About 1870, the white man began
diversion of water around Fiorenct
and, a few years later, more waters
of the Gila were taken out arouao
Stafford, farther up stream. The MN
imum flow OF the stream thus became
appropriated to the injury of the
Indain, though it is known that their
summer supply had always been iim-
! ;ted and often non-existent. Sympathy
appropriated mainly in the east has
been the most potent cause for the
development now in progress.
Year after year attempts were made
to secure appropriations for the bene-
fit of the Pimas, whose story OF
friendship for the whites has had
frequent repetition. Special grant was
made for a concrete diversion across
the Gila, above Florence, and another
for combined diversion dam, acque-
duct and bridge across the stream
few miles above the Indian agency
Of Sacaton, while construction was

WESTWARD TO GIVE
SUPPORT, MARQUAM
| A. A. BASS GIVES VIEWS ON Poll.
TlCAL SITUATION TO
THE EMPIRE

Strong support for T. A. Marquam,
independent candidate for Delegate, is
manifest in the westward districts,
according to A. A. Bass, publisher Of
the Fur Farmer Magazine, who re-
Gently returned to Juneau from tour
along the coast to Kenai Peninsula.
Mr.. Bass said he talked with the
most prominent citizens in both Sew
ard, Valdez and Cordova and senti-
ment strongly favors Mr.. Marquam.
Mr.. Bass, sourdough of the north
who came to the country before the
gold rush days and who knows the
north and it's people WELL is perhaps
one Of the most enthusiastic boosters
for Mr.. Marquam, whom he has known
for many years.
"For that matter" said Mr. Bass,
81 am a personal friend of Dan Suth-
erland and have been so for many
years, but l feel that l am a better
friend to Alaska than to support a
man who would so thoroughly misre-
present the fine people of this terri
tory as he did in his slanderous and
malignent charges of unlawful and
immoral conditions prevailing wide
spread in the territory.
81 probably cover Alaska more thor
oughly every year in my annual visits
to the towns and various corners of
the territory, than any other person,
and I am glad to say the Delegates
statements are absolutely not true"
Mr.. Bass was accompanied to the
westward on the trip just completed
by w. G. Maeser, who represents
money interests Of Minneapolis, and
who leaves the territory also strong
booster for Mr.. Marquam, according to
Mr. Bass. Mr. Maeser has been study
ing the Alaska situation for some time
and believes in Mr. Marquam, whom |
he met on the trip from Port Althorp
to Seward, Mr. Bass said.

D o'clock Thursday morning when the
amateur-professional best ball tourna-

advantage in slamming them off tn

warm up in the amateur-pro battle.
Prizes for the winning pros will be

and their amateur partners will get
gold, silver and bronze medals.
The winner of the driving contest.

an amateur should win, he will re-
ceive q medal.
Manager Jack OBriel has installed
n field telephone, with one terminal
for the official recorder at the side
of the tee, and the other situated some
800 yards down the fairway.
As soon as drive is completed, the
scorer will run out and mark the po'
sition Of the ball. taking into account
both distance and accuracy. AID the
result will be phoned back without de
lay. Thus, the contestants are aware
Of their score within GO seconds after
