a n UGH to the surprise Of the chess
NU world, the international tour
V nament Of the Hastings Chess
4 i Festival resulted in victory
for DR.. Max Euwe of Holland,
followed by Capablanca, former world
champion, and Mir Sultan Khan, Brit
ish champion. DIR. Euwe lost but one
game, and that to Miss Menchik, world
woman champion, and drew but two, to
Capablanca and Thomas. Capablancas
only loss was to Sultan Khan, which
brought a round of applause, an un-
usual occurrence.
The final scores: DR.. Euwe, u; Ca

Michel, 5-4 Yates, 412-41z; Thomas,
As; Winter, 312-5h; Menchik,

Considering only the play Of the Lon
don players among themselves, and In
Guiding in this list Khan and Miss Men
chik, who lives in London and has, it Is
reported, applied for British citizenship,
the standing is as follows: Khan, a.;
Yates, a.; Michel, 312-21a; Winter,
3-3; Tylor, 215-312; Thomas, "a;
Menchik, "A. Tylor is a former on
ford player and played on the British
team at Hamburg last Summer. AL of
these players, it is believed, are qualified
to play for London in the next cable
match with washington.
nR. .EUWE was born in Holland in
- 1901, and at the age of 20 won the
championship of Holland. He never
heretofore has won top place in any inn
portant tournament. He played a drawn
match with Marocsy, p and draws;
lost a match to DR.. Alekhine in 1927,
81 and draws, and was beaten twice
by BOgOIiubOW 3-2 and draws in
1923 and 2-1 and draws in 1929.
He Is matched to play Capablanca a
series of 10 games in Holland next July.
G. E. Bishop Is away in the lead in
the contest for championship Of the
Capital City Chess Club. He drew his
first game, with Walker, who in turn
defeated Carl A. Hesse. Bishop then
played Hesse two games, both Of which
he won. These victories nearly cinched
first place. Walker has yet to play
Bishop and Hesse, and needs at least
~ points to be In at the finish. Both
of Bishops wins were in end-game play.
The present score is: Bishop, 21k-1A /;

Search For Old
ProspectOr Fails

Undersheriff Rodney Clarke to-
day returned from the Pegleg Wells
district northeast of INLAND to tell
of a one-man search for 60-year-
old Peter Gunderson, who disap-
peared from his prospecting camp
two weeks ago yesterday.
Jack Harley, partner OF the old
prospector, continues the lonely
search for the body of his partner,
feared dead in the desert wastes,
long after all others have given up
hope of finding either the miss
ing man or his body.
Two years of constant compan-
ionship between the two old men
bound a tie that was suddenly
broken by the disappearance OF
Gunderson in the desert or foot
hills west of the Chocolate noun
tains.
Clarke, leaving early yesterday
morning, visited Palo Verde and
Ripley in the hope some trace OF
the missing man could be found
there. He discovered nothing. The
undersheriff returned to FL Centro
early this morning, more convinced
than ever the old prospector died
in the desert.

IN many instances the engineers
have planned for enclosed siphons
that dip completely under the bed
of large washes. Wherever there
is danger of damage to the canal
banks there is provision for protec-
tive works that will safeguard the
canal itself.
THE estimates take into account
the amount of water available to
this area, the lands which are to
be served for all time to come, the
full development of water power in
future years. In other words, the
studies Of the engineers to date are
the most comprehensive, detailed
and most accurate that have ever
been attempted. | consider that
they have made a reliable and de-
pendable report.

Costs Submitted

in which actual cost exceeded origi-
nal estimates due to changes in
plans not anticipated, they intended
to take no chances in the All-Am-
erican Canal survey and were al
lowing for maximum contingencies
and general costs SO that there will
be no danger of the actual cost eX-
ceeding the estimates. They point
ed out that since the district con-
tracts to pay only the actual cost of
the canal construction, there can
be no criticism as to the apparent
liberality Of the estimated costs.
To Control Sand
The estimates take into considera-
tion even such details as preven-
ton of sand being blown into the
canal as it passes through the Sand
Hills.
Any one of four methods is pro-
posed and estimates of cost are in
cluded in the report total. One
method proposed is the growing OF
vegetation on each side of the canal.
A second is by spraying the banks
with crude oil A third is by cover

canal with mesa formation dirt that
is eXcavated from the canal in con-

The berms are provided for in the
estimates OF. excavation costs. 4
sum amounting TO 100000 is in
cluded in the estimate for the other
means of exclusion of sand.
The report of the engineers shows
conclusively that the construction
of the canal through the sand hills
area is not a particularly difficult
matter as was at first supposed. but
that it is merely an incident among
the other details of building the
canal.
In commenting on the report,
Chief Engineer M. j. Dowd OF the
Irrigation District, declared today
that he has spent q great deal OF
time checking its various estimates
and that he believes there is every
where in it a tendency to make
provision for maximum costs rather
than minimum. II consider the Re
clamation engineers have worked
out a very conservative report
which will certainly not be exceeded
by actual costs. There will be con-
tinued study given the construction

until it is completed
Dowd added that the one great
objective which the Reclamation
engineers kept in mind throughout
their two years of study was the
construction of a canal project that
could give 100 per cent service with
out interruption. To that end each
structure is planned SO that danger
