It is contended that among the re
sults of the project would be:
Absolute flood control.
Provision for irrigation of 2,250,000
acres, of which 1,000,000 acres would
be above the canyons.
Three hundred miles of the river
made navigable.
The area which could be served
with power includes Arizona, Nevada
and Utah, more than one-half of Colo
rado and New Mexico, one-fifth of
Idaho and Wyoming and three-quar
ters of California, with possibly large
areas in northern Mexico.
Power would be used for the electri
fication of steam railroads, as well as
for commercial, agricultural, mining
and municipal uses, thus saving 90,000
barrels of fuel oil a year.

in an arc of 700 feet, and the 50,000,-
000 pieces of stone which form its
walls bear every evidence of having
been quarried and carefully cut. All
that is known now is that the com

in the inner court revealed an amaz

The floors and ceilings were con
structed by first laying heavy support
ing timbers across from wall to wall.
Upon these were laid smaller logs,
placed closely side by side; over these
came thin cedar slabs, next a layer
of cedar bark and finally a solidly
packed layer of earth. Some of the
rooms show a remarkable state of
preservation of both masonry and tim
bers.

NEW DEFENSE FOR HONOLULU
Big Guns to Be Rushed by Rail About
Island of Oahu—Plan New
Fort.
Honolulu, Hawaii. —Two important
announcements of further plans for the
defense of Oahu, the island on which
Honolulu is situated, were made re
cently by army headquarters here. One
calls for formation of a railway artillery
battalion and another contemplates
the establishment of a new fort to com
mand the entrance to Pearl harbor,
the navy’s great base six miles from
this city.
Twelve-inch mortars will be used by
the railway battalion and the tracks
of the Oahu railroad will be utilized
to transport them. To strategic points
on the Island not touched by the rail
ways at present, spur tracks will be laid,
so that, in case of emergency, heavy
guns may be rushed to any section of
the coast line as fast as locomotives
can haul them. The railway mortars
have a range of 15,000 yards.
Stories of
Great Scouts
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
(©, 1921, Western Newspaper Union.)
DANIEL BOONE, THE GREAT
KENTUCKIAN
Daniel Boone was the son of Quaker
parents who lived in Pennsylvania. Al
though the principal doctrine in the
Quaker creed is that man must not
kill, Daniel departed from the faith of
his fathers early and he became one
of the greatest Indian fighters in
American history.
When Boone was eighteen his par
ents moved to North Carolina and in
the Yadkin valley of that state, young
Boone became an expert woodsman
and hunter. Attracted by the tales of
a hunter who had crossed the Appa
lachians into the unknown Kentucky
country, Boone visited the Blue Grass
state several times until he finally de
cided to make that country his home.
In 1775 he etsablished Boonesborough.
the first outpost of civilization in the
“Dark and Bloody Ground,” as Ken
tucky was called because it was a bat
tleground for many tribes of Indians.
Boone's adventures with the Indians
in his new home were innumerable. In
1778 he was captured by the Shaw
nees, who admired the scout’s courage
50 much that he was not put to death.
Instead Chief Black Fish adopted him,
giving him the name of, Big Turtle—
rather an inappropriate title for a man
so active. Boone pretended to be well
pleased with his captivity and after
several months the watchfulness of
the savages relaxed. Then he made
his escape.
Several years later this same band
of Shawnees came to Boonesborough
to kidnap their former captive. They
found Boone in a little shanty used
' for drying tobacco.
“Now Boone, we got you,” said the
Indians. “You no get away this time.”
“Yes, you have me but I am glad to
■ go with you,” replied the scout, “but I
want my friends to have some of this
| tobacco.”
He gathered up a number of the
drvest leaves and, unseen by the In
' hums, crushed them in his hands. Be
fore they could move, he threw the
powdered tobacco into their eyes. As
the blinded savages rolled on the floor
howling and digging at their eyes, the
former “Big Turtle” showed unex
pected speed and was far up the trail
to the fort before they could pursue
him.
In his later years Boone was cheat
ed out of the rich Kentucky lands he
had fought so hard to win and he mi
grated to Missouri, becoming a hunter
once more. He died there in 1820 at
the age of eighty-six. A quarter of a
century later Kentucky paid him be
lated honor by removing his body to
the capital of the state and today Dan
iel Boone sleeps in the land where he
won fame as a pioneer and scout
SIMON KENTON, THE AMERI-
CAN MAZEPPA
Second only to the name of Daniel
Boone —whose life he once saved —is
written in the annals of Kentucky the
name of Simon Kenton. Kenton was
a Virginian who served as a scout in
Lord Dunmore’s war shortly before
the outbreak of the Revolution and
who crossed over the mountains .nto
the “Dark and Bloody Ground” of Ken
tucky in search of adventure. His ex
ploits there soon won for him the un
dying hatred of the Indians and no
less than eight times he was captured
by them and sentenced to death.
In 1778 Kenton with two compan
ions went north into Ohio to spy upon
a tribe at war with the whites. \\ hile
returning, they came upon a herd of
Indian horses. The Kentuckians re
solved to take some of the animals
along as trophies of the successful ex
pedition. The Indians quickly discov
ered the theft and overtook the scouts
just before they crossed the Ohio
One of the Kentuckians was killed,
another escaped but Kenton was taken
prisoner,
“You steal Injun hoss?” they taunt
ed him. “All right, we give you ride
on him!”
So they tied the scout on a wild
young horse and set it free in the for
est. He finally was taken from the
horse’s back more dead than alive.
At the first village the Indians
reached, they condemned the scout to
run the gantlet. When the signal was
given, Kenton sprang through the line
of warriors, armed with clubs and
hatchets, and reached the council
house, his goal, almost untouched.
Near ’ Zanesfield preparations were
made to burn him at the stake, but the
arrival of Simon Girty, the “white
renegade,” who recognized Kenton as
an old friend, saved him.
His freedom was short-lived. Three
weeks later the Indians again voted
to put him to death. Again he was
saved by a friend—Chief Logan, the
, noted orator of the Cayugas. When
the Sandsky towns were reached, the
| Indians held a council and once more
! decreed the death penalty. Kenton
, was tied to the stake. Just as the
torch was being applied, a British of
ficer appeared and demanded the sur
render of their prisoner to his »>m
m. mder at Detroit.
Kenton was kept captive in Detroit
until 1779. when through the aid of an
Indian trader's wife he escaped to
Kentucky where he died in 183 G.
