RACING MAY OPEN AT TULSA.
Horsemen Plan Thirty-Day Running
Meet, As Law Is Dead Letter.
Tulsa, Okla., Jan. 17.—That a
group of wealthy horsomou will take
advantage of the state suprome court
annulling a 1913 law which defined
gambling as a felony and will put on
a thirty-day runnlug race meeting
at the old track east of tho city in
the spring wus announced today.
Although the legislature may at tho
coming session re-enact the bill
knocked out by the courts, still It
Is believed before tho second enact-
ment can become effective there will
bo tlmo enough for a thirty days’
mooting.
That a meeting of this length,
with bookmaklng allowed, will at-
tract somo of the best runners In
the United States to Tulsa Is be-
lieved by the men who are behind
tho movement. It will be necessary
to repair the grand stand and
somo of the stables before a meet-
ing Is possible, but this can be
done at a small expense, It Is said.
Tho last race meeting In Tulsa
was the memorable one of April,
1914, which was suppressed by Gov-
ernor Cruce with the aid of the
state militia.

El Faso, Texas, Jan. 17.—To
those who like to bo where there
Is something going on, I recommend
El Pa*o. Here are some of the
things which happened In this
town last night and today: A po-
lice order for the doportation of
many former VUllstas (pronounce
that "Vee-iss-tas"—accent on the
“iss;") tho burial of some of the
eighteen men murdered last Monday
by Vlllistas; the death of General
Huerta; a public meeting; three
fires; more fights than could be
countod, in the majority of which
Mexicans were licked; 160 arrests
made; circulation of a petition for
the removal of Consul Edwards at
Jaurez; transportation of a train
load of cannon and ammunition from
Jaurez to El Paso and back again;
oalling In of tho regular army to
preserve peace along the fringe
of the Mexican quarter of El Paso;
starting of a special federal censut;
sending a petition to Roosevelt, ask-
ing hint to use his influence to
straighten things out down here;
organization of a new irrigation pro-
ject; pushing preparations for the
annual convention of the American
Live Stock Association, which meets
, here January 24; starting a num-
ber of new 'buildings.
And it did not appear to be an un-
usually busy day, either. The deliv-
ery wagons and automobiles did not
travel any faster than usual—pos-
sibly becauso they couldn’t. There
was not much excitement. The hab-
itual caution which people along the
border learn to observe in their
conversation was loosened a hit, but
not abandoned. Most of the peo-
Bqt they are sore on President
WIlBoh down here. They roast him
to a frazzle. I asked several repre-
sentative men how many votes
they -thought Wilson would lose in
Texas or along the border. All
of them replied, In substance, ‘‘not
many; you aee, they Just won’t vote
for a Republican down here.”
Up to ten days ago, General Villa
had a good many friends and sym-
pathizers In and around El Paso.
They claimed that General Villa
was more friendly to the Ameri-
cans than any of the other Mexican
leaders, and there seemB to he no
question hut that he did protect
them pretty well as a rule until
our administration tecognized Car-
ranza. Since that time Villa's ac-
tions have steadily lost him friends,
and the murder of the eighteen
Americana in Chihuahua last Mon-
day has turned everybody against

as the most Implacable ana blood-
thirsty vllltan Mexico ever pro-
duced, In addition to being a traitor i „ .

been so capably designed ana ex-

personal inspection.
The dam is 1,200 feet long at
the top; the helghth from the deep-
est excavation is 304.5 feet; ‘the
width or thickness at the base is
215 feet; the width of the road-
way at the top is 16 feet; the
structure contains 610,000 cubic
yards of masonry.
The reservoir, when full, will
contain 2,642,292 acre-feet of water.
This Is 115,098,000,000 cubic feet,
or 862,200,000,000 gallons. It would
cover to a depth of one root an
area of 4,285 square miles. The
depth of the water near the dam
will he 192 feet; average depth over
the entire reBVoir, 66 feet; the
average width of tue reservoir will
be 1 3-4 miles; its maximum length
45 miles; shore line 200 miles, and
area of water surface, 42,000 acres.
The total cost of this dam and
accompanying work will be in the
neighborhood <^f ten million dojlars.
Annual payments to the Govern-
ment will finally reimburse it for
this expense, and vest the owner-

I have learned something that
may be of Interest to the geogra-
phy class. I thought the Rio
Grando river was the literal boun-
dary line between the United States
and Mexico, all the way, and the
class probably thinks so. But It
is not. A tract of land at El Paso,
approximating 450 acres, lies north
of the Rio Grande, hut it is a pan
of old Mexico. Also, a tract of about
ninteen acres, lying south of the
river, is In the United States. The
reason for this is that International
riparian law—if that is the rigjit
way to put it—recognizes a slow
or erosive change In a river mark-
ing a boundary, and allows tho
boundary to follow tho river. But
an abrupt change of channel, either
the result of a flood or of work
of straightening the channel, Is not
recognized, nud In these Instances

After tho structure is Completed,
the railroad tracks, power houses
and other -Aiuildings, and all ma-
chinery and implements used in the
work will be removed, and the op-
eration of the dam left to a very
few men. Modern darn designing and
construction has reached such a
stage of scientific perfection that
one man, or two at the most, will
be able to absolutely control tho
entire operation of this one, Includ-
ing the exact regulation of the
amount of water released, and the
application where needed of • the
hydro-electric power developed,
which may reach 35,000 horse power
or more. Thus one man's hand,
on a valve wheel or switch, can
withhold from or .apply two hun-
dred miles of a great and fertile val-
ley, the life-giving water to trans-
form it from a desert into a panor-
ama of green fields, orchards, gar-
dens and prosperous homes;; flood
a dozen towns with electric light, or
cast them all into darkness; apply
the energy to operate a thousand
industrial plants, or stop every
wheel; make the river lift itself
by Its bootstraps, by using the
energy developed by the rush of
water to the lower valley to raise
other water from the reservoir over
the mountains, and out onto the
very mesa.
Senator George E. Chnroherlain’s
speech in which he said the Uni-
ted States acted the bully to small
nations south and like a coward
to' the powers of Europe, was one
of the most radical statement!)
made by a member of tho upper
house of congress. It has been
widely quoted.
This is what he had to say:
"In dealing with tho smaller/
nations we have acted like a gfeaf
g3i bully. When Ilaytl has a revolu- •
ry 1 iion and refuses to pay her debts
warships and a few ma-
rines to take charge. When any
of these republics of tho south*

hesitate to send men and take
charge of their finances, Hulk when
It comes to tho time that we have a brave and courageous nation;
to deal, with the greater powers wo act like cowards, I am ashamed
of the world we Co not act like to say.’

the old channel remains the boun-
dary. In this case tho channel was
straightened. There are other places,
I understand, where the river, cut-
ting a ne\v channel in flocd time,
has left a part of Mexico north of
tho river, or apart of the thiitcd
States south of it.
