T- M. Park of San Francisco
Applies for River-bed Water
Rights in Siskiyou County
for $10,000,000 Project
Gold Mining Included
SAGUAMIiNTO, Cal., Oct.: 21. (A.
P. Thomas M. Park of Ban Francis
co has applied to the state division of
water rights for permission to divert
waters of the Klamath river In Siski
you county for utilization hi mining
and hydro-electric power producing
project osllmated to cost $10,000,(100.
Details of the project disclosed at
the office of the division of water
rights, show the project to bo one of
the most unique on record.
Balked by a stato law prohibiting
tho construction of dams on certain
stretches of the Klamath river, the
applicant plans to divert part or the
river flow through tunnels, cuttltvi
across two bends in the river. Ills
plans call for tho taking of the water
ut the two points opening from the
river bed whence It would be carried
through tunnels downward under
ground. . .
Mouths or tho tunnels would bo In
tho river bed, tho water being carried
downward and -emptied into 'he river
again at lower olo.vatlons. The nat
ural fall would permit development
of a total of approximately XS.000 the
oretical horsepower, according to
Park's estimates.
In combination with the hydroelec
tric project the applicant socks per
mission to cut down the flo wof the
river around the bonds cut oft by tho
tunnels to about one-half the normal
flow in order to focilltuto gold mining
In the dried portions of the bed.
Tho excess of electric power not
used In tho recovery of gold, Pork
says, would bo sold to unnamed public
utility corporations.

Syrian Uprising Is Cause

WASHINGTON. .Oct. 21. (A. P.)
Two American destroyers have been
ordered from Gibraltar to Alexandria,
I'--9.vpt, to roniuln In readiness there
for uso in Syrian ports should their
presence become necessary for the
protection of American lives and prop
erty as u result of the revolt of tribes
men In that country.
Instructions were cabled Vice-Admiral
Roger Wells, commanding tho
lOuropean squadron, after a request
for the ships had been 'received hero
from Paul Knahenshuu, American
consul In Beirut, Syria.
Stato department officials uro hope
ful that It will not ho necessary lo
movo tho ships Iroiu Alexandria, but
In uny emergency they would bo with
in quick sailing dlstuncc of Syrian
ports.
Advices concerning the Syrian dis
turbance show thai It centers in the
vicinity ut Damascus. A high uioiin
tnin range separates Damascus and
the Mediterranean coast, and for 'this
reason It Is believed the revolt will
not spread to the coastal regions to
threaten American life or property.
Admiral Wells' flagship, thu Pitts
burg, wus en rouli) to Gibraltar when
the instructions were dispatched. It
was due In Gibraltar probably today.
The navy department loft to tho Judg
ment of Admiral Wells the shlrM
which should he sent to Alexandria.
It Is estimated that about luO Amer
leans are In Damascus or the immed
iate vicinity. Tho majority of these,
as well as of thu more than lono

Tho American counter proposal
which M. Caillaux took back with

annual installments of $4 0,000,000
for the next five yoars as full cur

forerunner of a long series of ex
