The visitor will no longer visit St.
Anthony to view the falls, but to
see what engineering can accom-
plish in obliterating the work of
nature. The apron is nearly com
pleted. About two feet elevation is
required to complete the work and
then the water will be turned on.
The heavy framework of timber is
filled with broken stones and is of
the most enduring character. Dan
