Use Oxen i'm Logging Camp.

COLVILLE, Wash, Feb. 1.-THE
excessive high price for horses and
the incidental high price for feed for
them have put some of the logging
firms in the notion to introduce oxen.
1t is argued that prime yoke of
oxen can be put into commission for
a trifle less than $3.50, and they are
much better adapted for work in the
woods than horses, besides requiring
from a third to half less feed than
horses, which cost from $3.50 to $500
for team. 1t is also asserted that
larger load on the roads than can a
team of horses.

GREAT IRRIGATION DAM
BUILDING AT LEWISTON
One Of the Six Largest in the World
is Now Being Built There to
Reclaim Large Tract.

LEWISTON, Idaho, Feb. 11-One
of the six largest dams in the world
fer similar purposes is the dam be-
ing built near here by the Lewis
ton-Sweetwater Irrigation company
for the reclamation of thousands Of
acres OF bench land, a portion of
which will be placed under water in
spring.
This great dam is 500 feet thick
at the base From its apex to its
base it is 100 feet high. The cement
lined we'll at the bottom of which
is mighty gate which regulates the
outflow of water, is 100 feet down
ward. 1t would take -four seconds
for pebble dropped at the top to
strike the bottom and it would take
a second more for the sound of the
impact to reach the top.
Stretching out almost half mile
in either direction form this great
we'll along the center of the crest is
wagon road. From the apex the
dam slopes gently lakeward and val
leyward. 1t is built so permanently
that this great lake of water, instead
of pressing against the dam, like
water against the sides of a pail,
rests upon it's sloping sides like the
tide on the beach. There is no
pressure to strain the dam, so gently
is the slope from the bottom of the
lake to the top of the great earth
work
Largest Dams i'm History.
Of the six largest earthen irriga-
ton dams in the world, three were
literally built by hand, in Algeria
and India Sweating coolies carried
the earth on their backs, under
tropical sun, up the slope. A steam
shovel, one of the largest ever made,
is doing the work here. 1t gouges
out three tons at a dip and makes
four dips a minute Each dip fills
a car. Two locomotives are hauling
trainloads of dirt from the shovel to
the dam. Shovel and locomotives
are being worked to the limit, day
and night shifts being required to
push the work to quick completion.
An electric lighting plant has been
installed for night work Contractor
G. J. Holmes and force of men
are crowding everything along as
quickly as possible.
1t was hard job to get the steam
shovel and locomotives out to the
reservoir site A railroad had to be
laid in front of the shovel and taken
up behind as it was slowly pulled
from Lewiston. The locomotives
had to be pulled out by horses.
That part of the dam already COM
pleted forms reservoir containing
about so acres of water, for use
this season. This part of the dam
was all narrowed layer by layer,
sprinkled and rolled by 80 ton roll
er, packing it as tight as cement.
This dam is being built up in two
ridges. win a base 500 feet wide at

In this matter of a hierarchy within
the Mormon church, there can be no
better authority than the original
prophet, Joseph Smith-unless the Des.
crct News shall thrust him aside, in
which case none may have anything
whatever TO say. Joseph Smith, .Tr.,
has this to announce, in a revelation
which he claims was given to him on
March IS, 1895, and ''at sundry
times:
