I'lrst on the list of likely power sites

are compressed between towering rock
walls only a few hundred feet apart
A dam 600 feet in height would provide
water power to generate 600,000 horse
power of hydro-electric energy Such
a dam and plant would cost about
? 10.000.000.
Los Anceles 250 miles to the south
west, would be the first large market
for the power thus developed. A large
potential market, however, lies withtn
t00 miles to the southeast in the min
ing d striata near Phoenix.
The Southern California Edison com pany,
in planning distribution of pow
er. In event its application for one Of
I he major power sites Is granted, has
planned to carry power as far as San
Francisco. F.00 miles distant.
The possibilities of power develop-j
mem on the Colorado may best be vis
ualized when it is understood that In
ns 1700 nilb s of length the river drop
more than C200 feel In the .150
miles between Glenn Canon and Eoui
der C;myon there Is a drop of 2300
feel. And the nnnual volume of water

which also makes imperative river

California from disastrous floods
Such Is the topography of the coun

however, that the sites for maximum
power development, such as Glenn

Shortly before the Dalton robbery,

remarks about the low salaries which
i he said were paid to bank clerks. This
Was in the case of a young Ottawa,
i ills , bank clerk w ho had attempted
: to steal $60,000 from the bank where
he worked.
I When Judge Landis made the re
marks, he was widely quoted by news
papers throughout the country.
After the Dalton robbery, some
newspapers quoted Dalton as saying
that he had committed his robbsrj be-
' cause he felt, through fudge Landis'
remarks, that nothing would bt done
