NOVEL CONTEST
ANNOUNCED BY
REYNOLDS CO.

WINSTON SALEM, N. c., Feb. 25.
(SpeciaD During the next eight
days the country will forget its cross
word puzzles, backgammon and
bridge and turn it's attention to the
more interesting and lucrative pas
time of finding the best answers to
the question: "What significant
change has recently been made in
the wrapping of the Camel pack
age containing 20 cigarettes and
what are its advantages to the
smoker?'
For the best answers to the fore
going question, r. j. Reynolds To-
bacco company will distribute $50
900 in cash awards. The first prize
will be S25 900 in cash. The second,
$4,000; third, $4,000 and numerous
other cash awards of from sl00 to
$500 each.
The prize contest marks the be-
ginning of an intensive nationwide
advertising campaign to acquaint
the public with the advantages of
the new tight-sealed moisture-proof
cellophane wrapper in which the
Camel package is now enclosed.
While the new method of wrapping
adds considerably to the cost of the
manufacture, the consumer will not
be required to pay more than the
usual price for his Camels
According to the announcement
of the r. j. Reynolds Tobacco COM
pany, practically every daily coun-
ty seat weekly, financial and college
newspaper in the country will be
used in its new advertising cam
paign, as we'll as coast to coast
radio hook-up and other forms OF
advertising media.

CONDITIONS At
BORDER FOUND
in GOOD SHAPE

! Considerable progress is being
made in MeXicah to relieve unem-
ployment and hunger among the
poorer classes, according to a dele
cation of valley men who yesterday
paid a visit to Mexicali and called
on Governor Carlos Trejo y Lerdo
de Tejada.
The visitors included E. B. Good
man and Ben Weitzer of this city
and w. A. Edgar of Imperial.
They found the governor hard at
work in the municipal park, plan
ming and directing the work of i'm
proving the park which has pro-
vided employment for number OF
idle men.
The governor was in business dress
and unattended by any officers as
he labored with the men, OCCASION
ally taking a shovel or hoe in his
hand to give practical directions
as to what he wanted done.
He extended a cordial greeting to
the valley men who were impressed
with his broad and his
disposition to bring harmony to his
people and his neighbors on this
side of the line.
Recent rumorS of impending strife
at the border have been considerably
exaggerated, the local men declared
and while the situation has been
annoying it is not considered dan
gerous by the governor nor any of
his officials. Everything was order
ly and peaceful as far as could be
observed.
AS to the governor IS enforcement
of the rule replacing foreign work
ers with MeXicans, he is only carry
ing out the orders received from
Mexico City and by previous govern
ors as being necessary for the well
fare of his own people.
He expressed to the local men
willingness to work barmoniously
with the people of the Omitted States
in anything that pertains to the
two countries.

PRICE OF FLIES
COMES HIGH IN
POLICE COURT

Nine flies in a bottle of saki were
worth slightly more than $7.72 each
to M. Okomoto today, when he was
fined $75 for the possession of Ii
quor and SIS of the $3.50 bail he
had posted was refunded to him.
When Judge Kendall B. Perkins
called the case of K. Dkada, charged
with possession, Okomoto stepped
forward with the assertion that the
charge should have been lodged
against him, since the liquor was
his, and that anyway it was no good,
and not fit to drink, by reason of
the fact that it was full of flies.
He had thrown the saki out, Oko-
moto told Judge Perkins. He in
sisted that the judge look at the
liquor. I was not rihgt to fine a
man for possession of such liquor,
considering all the flies 1t contained,
was the basis of Okomoto IS plea.
Judge Perkins went into confer
ence with himself, and considered
the suggestion that Okomoto be al
lowed $40 credit for each fly, and
SIS for an especially large one. A
count disclosed that nine flies had
perished in the saki, and that their
earthly remains were still there.
After deep thought he fixed the
fine at SIS. thereby allowing Oko-
moto slightly more than s772 credit
for each fly, considering the sl50
bail
An instant later William Mitch
ell, desk sergeant, handed Judge
Perkins traffic ticket.
"Is this yours tooP' the Judge
asked Okomotp, who admitted that
fact. "You re charged with having
no operator s license, leaving your
motor running while unattended,
and double parking" read Judge
Perkins. Okomoto produced his
drivers license, and was fined s5
on the other charges in considera-
ton of the S75 he had already paid.
Ed Clay was given a suspended
sentence of $50 or 25 days in jail.
The sentence was suspended on the
condition he quit begging on the
streets. Two other liquor cases were
continued. Both were possession
charges Trial Of j. Brown was set
for March 3, and Of Lulu White un-
til tomorrow.

Giving a vivid picture Of the enor-
nifty of the Colorado river project,
M. j. Dowd chief engineer of the
Imperial Irrigation District, ad-
dressed a large and interested group
at the meeting of Boyce Aten Post,
American Legion, held last night
in Department No. 2 of the super
ior court.
With the aid of enlarged photo
graphs showing an aerial view of
the damsite and an up-river view
Of the complete project, DoWd
explained the manner of construct
ing the dam by building temporary
dams above and below the dam
site and diverting the flow OF the
river through the four large diver
sion tunnels, two on either side of
the river.
Bids on the largest engineering
project ever undertaken in this
country, will be opened on March
T. These will be on one contract.
amounting to $108,000,000 and in
Guiding the actual construction Of
the dam, power plant and appur-
tenant works
The dam itself will be ll80 feet
long on the crest and $50 feet in
height above the lowest point of
foundation bedrock. A total OF
3,400,000 cubic yards of concrete
will be used in the dam alone, or
enough to construct a six inch, 20
foot highway for a distance OF
LOO miles.
A complete drainage system will
be included in the dam and to pro-
vide for expansion and contraction
the concrete will be built up in sec
tions or columns. Setting heat of
the concrete will be dissipated by
means of a refrigeration plant sup
plying and forcing cooled water
through pipes imbedded in the
concrete. In addition to large
drainage galleries the dam will al
so contain a number of inspection
galleries.
The four diversion tunnels will
be lined with two feet of concrete
and will be so feet in diameter
(about the height of a five story
building) inside the lining. The
average length will be about 1000
yards They will be sufficiently
large to care for the maximum flow
of the river and in fact could
handle the full flood flow Of the
Mississippi river at St. Louis.
Spillways will be constructed on
either side of the river, a portion
of the diversion tunnels being in
cluded in their construction.
The power plant, at the base of
the dam, will be U-shaped, about
a quarter of a mile long and seven
stories in height, with l6 turbines

DOWD GIVES EXCELLENT TALK
ON DAM AT LEGION MEETING|

generating 100000 horsepower of
electrical energy. Gigantic PEN
stocks, II feet in diameter and ar
ranged eight on either side of the
river, will receive the water neces-
sary to generate the electricity.
Preference for work on the dam
will be given to qualified eX-service
men and secondly to citizens Of the
United States.
1t is expected that notice to pro-
ceed with work will be given about
April Is, 1881. The program calls
for completion Of the four diversion
tunnels by october !, 1888, and the
Golfer dams by May l, 1894. Plac-
ing CT concrete in the dam proper
will start about December /, 1884
Completion of ali necessary features
for the beginning of storage OF wa
ter will be achieved by June 10
1886 Completion Of units for wa
ter storage and Of the power plant
will be completed about October
1896. The entire project is expected
to be completed about May /, 1898.
At the conclusion of the talk OF
the dam project, the engineer eX'
planned the recenc controversy with
Mexico over water rates. asserting
that the 30 per cent reduction or
dered by the Mexican government
is not justified by the facts, and eX-
pressed little hope that an ADJUST.
ment can be arrived at within {
reasonable time.
Following the talk DoWd answered
questions asked by various members
of the audience to clear up pu2zling
points in connection with the dam
project.
The address was highly appre-
ciated by the Legion members and
their guests, giving them an excel
lent idea of a project in which all
valley residents are interested, but
which is a gigantic puzzle as far
as detail is concerned, to the great
majority.

turned out TO be a complete victory
against the forced sale When the
hour was over the sheriff announced
that the sale was called of, there
were no bidders" Yes, there we're
no bidders and why? The militant
mass of farmers led by the United
Farmers League committee of action,
scared the officials TO such degree
that they didn't dare to put the sale
across, although several armed state
police stood in the next building and
taking it "all in" apparently at the
disposal of the sheriff if necessary.
A resolution adopted by the as
sembled farmers demanded that back
payments of taxes and mortgages now
unpaid, be cancelled and that pay
ments due be postponed for the dur
alton of the crisis.
The resolution further demands
that the heaviest burden of tax pay
ments be laid upon the big property
owners, railroads, mining company
land, lumber companies and other in
dustries able to shoulder the tax bur-
den.
Copies Of the resolution we're gwen

Committee of Action.
