What Boulder Dam Means

use at reasonable cost is entirely prac-
ticable"
Should the proposed dam topple, the
board forseeS this calamity, and has
taken special precautions to avert it.
The flood created would probably des-
troy Needles, Topock, Parker. Blythe.
Yuma, and permanently destroy the
levees of the Imperial district, creating
a channel into Salton Sea which would
probably be so deep that it would be
impracticable to re-establish the Col
orado River in its normal course"
To forestall such dire distress, the
board recommended that 1.-The pro-
posed dam should be constructed on
conservative, If not ultra-conservative,
lines"
In direct charge of the construction
of the worlds greatest dam will be
Raymond F. Walter chief engineer of
the Reclamation Service, q WeSterner
who knows the Colorado River first
hand and whose headquarters are at
Denver.
Irrigation projects of tomorrow that
are now being spoken of as an out
growth of the Black Canyon dam con-
struction, comprise SOC, 1000 acres OF vir-
gin land that can be reached by gravity
bitches, with some 100000 acres addi-
tional on rnesas which can be reached
by electrically pumped water.
AlI-American Canal.
As an important adjunct to the giant
concrete wedgh that will block UP the
turbulent watem of the Colorado will
be the construction of the All-American
Canal which the Colorado River board
has estimated will cost $38,500, 900. At
present the Imperial Valley receives its
water for irrigation and domestic pur-
poses from the Colorado River by means
of the Imperial Canal. The water is
diverted at lockwood Gates, about one
mile north of the international boun-
dairy, and canal carries 1t into Mexi-
can territory to avoid the high mesa
and sand dune country north of the
international boundary, the water later
being brought back INTO the United
States to the Imperial Valley. For some
so miles the canal traverSeS Mexican
soil. The proposed Ali-American Canal
will be wholly within the United States,
thus avoiding irritating international
problems. Under the new plan the wa
ter will be diverted from the Colorado
River at Laguna dam, the present in
take of the canal for the Yuma irriga-
ton project, % miles by river above the
intake of the Imperial Canal. The main
canal is to lead southwest to point
near the river just north Of the inter-
national boundary and westward, par
allel to that line, to a point some 10
miles west of Calexico. total length

students had the luck of the week.
They came upon real nest of skele-
tons, 10 in all, all with bowls over their
heads in the usual fashion. The bodies
had been buried in this abandoned room
during the course of several centuries.
Many of the bodies had been buried
with their necklaces of shell beads, and
about half were still wearing their shell
bracelets on the bones of their arms,
in every case on the left arm.
Reveal Thousands Of Relics.
Mr.. Bradfield was fortunate in one
of his earlier finds. in 1925, in the
Cameron Greek district. He found what
seemed to be a stone slab. This. when
freed, was found to be very thin and
to be the cover of a jar, or ola, OF the
early corrugated type, the rim OF which
was exactly / inch above the floor
level. It had been used as storage bin.
The bowls and Sherds found in this
Cameron Creek excavation in the
Mimbres will run into the thousands.
But more important is the fact that In
them Mr.. Bradfield has obtained prac-
tically complete ceramic line running
back as far as the beginning OF the
Christian era. Most of the bowls are OF
the BLACK and white type, the type in
which the Pueblo Indians outdid the
better known Greek artists. Many are
of polychrome ware. The paintings
show many interesting life forms, and
the highly developed linear, circular,
zigzag and geometric designs which
were later than the life forms.
One painting Of a date early IN the
Christian era is of hunter carrying in
a deer which he has killed. Another
gives a faithful picture Of the now
nearly extinct Rocky Mountain spotted
quail. Another, and one Of the most
interesting. is of a rabbit inside the
curve of the new moon. The Rabbit
in the Moon" is fairy tale still cur
rent in the Pueblos today.

GERMANY Is EXCITED
OVER NEW OIL GUSHER
Well Produces 10 Tons of Fluid
Per Hour in Oberg
Field,

PEINE, Lower Saxony R).-An oil
gusher producing 10 tons of oil within
one hour was struck in the Oberg field
near here. When the drill penetrated
to depth of 1000 feet the pressure of
gas suddenly caused the oil to spout to
a height of so feet and in such volume
that an emergency dam had to be
quickly constructed. This precipitate
flow of oil soon stopped, but Immediately
began again when drilling was resumed.
An oil gusher was something OF a
sensation in this part of the country,
where nothing similar had ever been
seen. Mining engineers consider the
prospect excellent for further oil wells
in the district.

molly had loaned them $4,000 and $19,-
600 for real estate Max Zalicas testi-

lily of his former chauffeur,
Max Caesar, another witness, said

Don't put in my name, Caesar said
Connolly told him. They may think
I'm going to build subway station
and raise the price"

former borough president had loaned
him was never repaid. while another
witness, Alderman jeremiah O'Leary,
testified that once Connolly handed
him an advance of $4,000, half of which

 One of the eoaro's Priuclples
 One of it's principles is the fol lowing: FL.
 Names of living persons should be applied very rarely, and only those of great eminence should be thus honored. No personal names should be attached because of re- lationship. friendship, personal in- terest. nor should names of ob- scure persons be given. Names of eminent men now dead may be thus perpetuated, particularly those of early explorers, natural ists, geologists. topographers, etc.
 As the names were of men still living. the board in view of this rule questioned the wisdom of permitting them to stand. It was this decision that created a stir that was finally carried to Presi- dent Coolidge by Dr. Grosvenor.
 After considering all the circum- stances word went from the White House to the Geographic Board that the names were 1dt to be changed. This, it is said, was not the first time living men" had been honored by their names being applied to places discovered or explored. but never theless. prior to the White House action the Government hoard de. clared that the practice was net justified in this instance.
