Fifteen years e the highest dam In
existence was the Furens dam lin France,)

Since then three very much larger dams
have been built in tho United States.
These are the Croton dam in New York,
the Clinton wnterworks dam at Boston,
and the waterworks dam at Denver, on
the south Fork OF South Platte river.
Each of these at present holds the record
IN one respect or another; the Denver dam
Is the highest In the world; the Clinton
impounds the largest amount of water;
and the Croton dam contains the largest
mass of masonry. But the Salt River dam,
when finished. will exceed each of these
IN its " speciality: It will be higher
than Denver: will exceed the Croton dam
In mnsonary; and will impound twice as
much water as all three dams together.
1t will be 2O feet high from founda-
ton to parapet. will contain 800, 900 cubic
yards of masonry. and will impound more
than n million acre-feet of water; that Is,
more than enough to cover a million acres

Practical Lessons in
Banking.
No. |

The practical benefits
of a bank account are so
numerous that we some
times wonder that more
people do not see them
than actually do. The
mere fact Of being con-
nected with a bank, Of
being known to the Off
GERS Of that bank, ought
to be sufficient to induce
you to run an account.
If you are identified
with some bank you will
naturally stand higher in
the community, will have
better credit and more in
fluence than you can
without that association
with a bank.
1t is usually an easy
matter to guage a mans
ability by his business
habits, and no one thing
stamps a man as being
a good or bad bu siness
man quicker than the
way in which he handles
his money or cash trans
actions. Having an ac-
count with a bank lends
a dignity and stability to
ones business transac-
tons that can be gotten
in no other way.
