believed that traffic can be resumed tomorrow. The house *X" 



at the reservoir was almost entirely destroyed. The people * 



were aroused by the crash and hastily made their way to the |< 



hills, wading through a foot of water and carrying the J 



children on their shoulders. They got out in their night X 



clothing, not having time to dress. !< 



The dam was built a year ago and finished just a year % 



ago today. It was supposed to be remarkably firm. An in- X 



vestigation this morning shows that the entire dam is not v 



gone, only a narrow section in the center having given way *t| 



before the weight of water. .;. 



It was stated by the managers and owners of the reservoir ! 



that the break could be repaired in a short time and that the X 



freshet in June would fill it so that the Garnet mesa could < 



be irrigated from it this summer, as usual, and no loss need J 



be experienced from that source. The dam is located fifteen X 



miles from this city. .j 



It is almost impossible to estimate the loss already, as v 



few reports have been made in this city. However, one of X 



the men, who has been over the ground, said it would run * 



close to $100,000. The flood reached its maximum at 2 *j> 



o'clock, and continued until 7. when it began to subside. X 



At 10 o'clock it had gone down considerably. v

15he Shuart Earth Graders 



Style No. 2 



These machines rapidly 

 and cheaply reduce the 

 most uneven land to per- 

 fect surface for the appli- 

 cation of water. Made in 

 several different styles. On 

 the No. 8 style the blade 

 can be worked diagonally, 

 as well as straight across, 

 thus adapting it to throw- 

 ing up and distributing 

 borders, ditches, etc. For

We have furnished a large 

 number of centrifugal pumpt, 

 both belt driven and direct 

 connected, for use in irriga- 

 tion. Where water is drawn 

 from wells our vertical pump 

 is used with splendid success. 



We also build our pumps 

 direct connected to engines, 

 which have been found ex- 

 ceedingly useful where the lift 

 of water does not exceed 20 

 feet. Our line consists of the 

 various types and sizes from 

 1'A in. to 12 in., inclusive. 



Our dredging or sacd 

 pumps have been found very 

 successful in the dredging of 

 canals; a large number of 

 these outfits having been used 

 in Colorado.
