AN INCORRIGIBLE RIVER A fire belching volcano, sticks of dynamite used as candles on a Christmas tree, a herd of 10,000 wild cats and tigers scratching and biting at a bolshevik convention; or the two Dempseyistic United States Senators from Arkansas at their favorite sport would, generally speaking, be considered as decidedly exciting events. But when compared with the Colorado river on one of its frequent rampages they would be innocent and childish amusements. The Colorado river begins its career, in the state bearing that name almost three miles above the level of the sea. No river on earth rips and tears and snorts and plunges so strenuously as does this queer stream in its mad haste through deep, rocky gulches and canyons to reach a haven of tranquility in the quiet open spaces 900 miles away. At times this famous stream is as harmless and serene as the gentle flow from the hunghole of a barrel of molasses. But when spring and summer sunshine gets busy with the accumulated winter snows on the Rocky Mountains and converts them into water, then things begin to happen. The 900 mile race to the sea is on. The former placid stream of molasses speed is converted into a raging deluge with the speed of a deer. There are many places where it works itself up to a speed of 30 miles an hour and looks twice that fast to the man who wants to get on the other side. No living thing can resist its onrush. Everything must get out of its way or perish. It grabs up boulders in its embrace weighing hundreds of tons and rolls them along the bottom of its course for hundreds of miles with the same ease that a small boy rolls marbles along the sidewalk. of people or farms. It is as unreasonable as domineering and as lawless as some senatorial investigating committees. Everything must get out of its way. True, the farmers try to hold it in check by building mud levees, but they have no more effect than a West Indian hurricane trying to compete with "Talkin' Tom," the Senator from Alabama. The river and the silt could easily be forgiven for one performance of this kind, but they are never satisfied. No sooner does the river get nicely settled in a new clean bed than a fresh batch of floating silt comes blithely along and again and again it crowds it out. This river and its rebellious conduct has been a source of worry to the United States government for more than a half a century. During this long period of years various governmental agencies have spent almost $2,500,000 in studying the Colorado basin and trying to work out some plan whereby the great volume of water, now going to waste can be held in check and used for irrigation purposes power development, water supply for various towns and cities, and, at the same time, prevent flood damage and the changing of the course of the river. Dr. Hubert Work, secretary of the Interior, thinks it is time to get down to brass tacks on the proposition. He expresses the view that the time has arrived when the government should decide whether it will proceed to convert this natural menace into a natural resource. Dr. Work says the scope of this subject is in many directions; its urgency in some, and its opportunities for development, together, demand the determination of a definite government policy. Not temporary expedients but plans comprehending the immediate necessities and those of be four times his Falls.

When Boulderpleted and its no are many places where it works itself up to a speed of 30 miles an hour and looks twice that fast to the man who wants to get on the other side. Everything must get out of its way or perish. It grabs up boulders in its embrace weighing hundreds of tons and rolls them along the bottom of its course for hundreds of miles with the same ease that a small boy rolls marbles along the sidewalk. and grinding of these thousands of granite stones along the bottom and sides of the river deepen the channel through the centuries and send the powdery breakage seaward. But this is nothing in comparison to the soil from the high hills and valleys that is carried to the flat valleys on the comparatively level stretches. Right there is where another form of trouble arises. There is enough slit carried through the river each year and deposited in the level stretches of the river to cover an area of 360 square miles of land with a layer of mud six inches in depth. This is more earth that was excavated in building the Panama canal. When the current becomes slow and sluggish this floating silt grows weary of its wanderings and gently settles to the bottom of the stream and goes soundly to sleep. To those unfamiliar with this sort of thing there would seem to be nothing to get excited about. But that silt is selfish. It is not satisfied to occupy a fair share of the bed, but wants it all. Soon it is taking up all the bed space and the poor old river is obliged to go elsewhere. Everytime this happens a lot of people suffer. A bed hunting river is no respecter expresses the view that the time has arrived when the government should decide whether it will proceed to convert this natural menace into a natural resource.

Not temporary expedients but plans comprehending the immediate necessities and those of succeeding generations, especially for power, which is now the pressing necessity of this country as a whole and is going to become an acute problem for the territory within distribution distance for electrical energy of the Colorado river.

The bigness of this problem is understood by but few people. Its possibilities are equal in importance to the Panama canal, the Territory of ways project. It means the development and blossoming of the southwestern section of the United States. The Colorado river basin alone contains over 244,000 squares miles, an area almost 30 times as large as President Coolidge's home state of Massachusetts. The idea of the United States Reclamation service is to construct a dam in one of the deep granite gorges of the river which will bear the name of Boulder Canyon dam. It will be the biggest thing in the world of its kind. This dam would raise the water to a height of 605 feet, 50 feet higher than the Washington monument.

To construct this immense dam will require almost four million cubic yards of concrete, which is more than three times as much as the Assuan dam in Egypt containing the greatest amount of masonry of any dam heretofore built. The foundation of the dam will begin 150 feet below the bed of the river. It will be 650 feet thick at the base. Its length will be 1350 feet and as stated above, its height will be 605 feet. Its estimated cost of $50,000,000. It must be built in a normal current 20 to 30 feet ordinary depth, which has a velocity of 15 feet per second of time. All of which indicate engineering difficulties attractive to ambitious engineers. The reservoir formed by the dam will be a whale of a body of water. It will be 120 miles long and will cover an area of 157,000 acres. The power production possibilities of Boulder dam sound like a fairy tale. It is conservatively estimated by the engineers that it will be capable of developing 600,000 horsepower. With water power of that magnitude it would easily be possible to generate enough cheap electricity to supply the entire Colorado basin and also an abundance of light and power for Los Angeles, San Diego and the numerous smaller towns in Southern California, hundreds of miles distant. A generous and constant supply of pure water for drinking and cooking purposes is the best asset of which any community may boast. The Boulder dam will not only insure this for the whole Colorado basin but there will be plenty for Los Angeles and the other growing and always thirsty villages of that section. When Boulder dam has been completed and its possibilities have been "The Rocky Mountain range physically divides the United States. The two extremes of the East and West are rapidly becoming less dependent on each commercially. The cost of covering the distance between the two oceans compels this semi-independence. The Colorado river and its possibilities for contributing its forces to a territory greater in area than many nations, should be appraised by Congress representing every state." Mr. and Mrs. T. F.

The far seeing engineers have worked out plans and sites for ten other dams. In a detailed report on the Colorado project made to the Committee on Irrigation of Arid Lands of the House of Representatives, Secretary Work closes with these admonitions. "I am concerned for the future of people menaced by temporarily controlled floods and entertain a lively sense of the magnitude, the necessities and the importance of conserving use of this potential natural force for the great waiting territory to be directly benefitted. "I would recommend that the Congress promptly initiate such commensurate measures as it may determine the government's financial status will warrant and probably commercial returns justify, from a point of view 50 or a 100 years hence, rather than now.
