Supporters cited stronger federal control, while critics questioned the dual oversight and the commission’s expenditures. Dr. James M. Doran remains commissioner of industrial alcohol, with Attorney General Mitchell appointing the new prohibition chief in Justice.

Fairy tale Gunnison tunnel tale of West drama
The Gunnison river saga in Colorado reads like a fairy tale. Government engineer W. W. Torrence leads a bold team through rock and flood to carve an eleven foot wide tunnel six miles under a canyon to irrigate 100000 acres. The 1900 completion marked the first US Reclamation Service project. The tale is recounted in John T. Faris Seeing the Far West (1930).
