voir is located only about three mile
below their junction. Above the dan
the streams are both very quiet, witt
little fall, not more than or 6 feet T
the mile, so that the water back of tn,
reservoir will extend many miles up th'
stream. Below the dam, however
there are many rapids and cataracts
the river becoming torrent as itdash
es through the black lava gorge. AT
one place, where the bridge crosses
the gorge is hardly more than 10 feet
wide, a rift in the rocks where the wa
ter boils like a cauldron of seething
green.
This reservoir dam site is one of the
remarkable natural features of this
part of Idaho. Ages ago, when the sea
of lava overfowed that section, spouted
out from some Titantic volcano to the
westward, the molten fire flowed over
the lowlands where the river now flows.
Like the head fire of a prairie fire,
there were eager fingers of fire stretch
ing out in advance, scouting for the
easiest way to common level One of
these fingers reached the high granite
cliff, now standing 500 feet above the
river, and forming the one side of the
dam site Here the fiery torrent was
checked. Then came the cooling pro-
cess. The lava flow stopped, and only
the one ventnesome tongue of plastic
rock ever came to the base of the gran
ite. Then the rains came and for
countless ages the waters cut and carved
their way down over the rocky plains.
At last the water made a channel
through the granite, pouring out around
the end of the lava flow as it would
around log thrust into the soft mud
of the bank of little stream. Here
was the dam, all ready for use, needing
only to fill in the one place where the
channel runs. This, however, is a
great task, with the dimensions as
given above. Two hundred men viii
probably be worked on the dam this
winter, as work can be carried on there
the whole year, provided the
supplies are laid in while the roads are
free of snow.
During the construction of this dam,
the river will be carried through two
pipes, large enough to carry
the whole stream without danger of 4
overiowing the works The dam will
then be built on top of and over these
eonduits. Gates will be provided in
these conduits so that they can
be opened or closed at will.
1t is estimated that the whole of the /
great reservoir, with its more than /
zoo, 900 acre feet of water, can be filed
n three weeks of high water of Big
Wood river, during the flood time in
he spring, so the normal flow of the
liver win be unlmpaired during the
greater portion of the year The com
,any viii have the most magnificent
water supply of anything in the west,
With a flow of water many times in ex-
,ess of its needs.
At the main diversion dam, where
he water is first taken out of the river,
great amount of work has been done.
Shoshone journal. [volume] (Shoshone, Idaho) 1884-1931, 1907-08-16

/ All the excavation for the dam. which
is to be 450 feet long and 30 feet high,
was done early in the year, and the
1 concrete foundation laid in part before
the high water. Work has had to be
suspended during the flood, when all
the work was buried under the torrent.
Now the water has subsidized, it will be
taken up again, and is to be finished
within few days, possibly two or
three weeks. The dam is to have a
concrete core, with rip-rapped rock
fills, two and one-half slope on the
upstream side and two to one slope
on the lower side. The spillway will be
ITO feet long, across a concrete wall.
From this dam it is 1000 feet to the
main headgates of the canal. The con-
crete piers and walls are now being
built, ready for the gates. There will
be 10 gates, each 6x16 feet in size.
Most of the way from the dam to the
headgates the canal viii be rip-rapped
for 18 inches, from the stone taken
from the rock portion of the cut
An innovation is being put in for the
headworks, in the way of mud or
sand trap. This is a waste weir with
three gates opening back into the river,
just at the main gates. A sloping
channel was blasted ont across the main
canal, running from Is inches below
the ater level on the upper side, to four
feet deep on the lower side. This
is cemented over, and the channel so
made makes trap to catch the sedi-
ment of the canal, as a rifle catches
and holds the gold in placer mining. As
this trap is filed with sediment, the
side gates are opened and all this sand
and mud is sluiced back into the main
canal It is estimated that in the
course of years, this sand trap viii
save the. canal owners, who viii be the
farmers themselves, many times it's
cost in keeping the sand out of the
canal and so making it unnecessary to (
clean it out every year or two. As such
could only be done by shutting off the
water in the canal, if the trap were
not there in place, the idea of the con-
company in making this wise
is believed to be an excellent
9ne. The sand trap cost about $1,000
extra.
Some heavy rock work has been doue
n makinga place for headgates that
should not be susceptible to damage
from water or other ordinary cause.
Some of the cut is over 20 feet deep,
he full width of the canal, and shots
we're put in at depth of "A feet. One
great blast put in where THE gates

now at work with 1873 teams, and two
steam traction engines and two elevat-
Ing graders that add another 40 men anc
so horses to the actual working force.
The Slick Brothers horses and mules
are conceded to be the finest outfit of
work animals in this part of the west,
if indeed there is any other outfit as
good west of the Missouri.
Some of the work done by the big
traction engines is worthy of note. One
engine is a Reeves, the other an Ad-
vance. These are hitched to elevating
graders, huge plows with belt convey
ors to carry the dirt either to be dis
charged into wagons or on the canal
banks. The graders were tried on the
dry, loose sand of the Minidoka tract,
and found defective there, because the
sand was so dry that it rolled off the
elevator like water. On the Alberta
tract, however, the machines work like
a charm. Jim Slick, the grader expert
of the company, told the boys to hitch
the engine to the grader, and keep at it
as long as there was tongue left to
tie to. A mile of the main canal gra-
ded with the engines and elevators,
showed the work to have been done
much more economically, as well as
more satisfactorily, than by horse

used wherever there is much rock. So
satisfactory has the steam work proved
that two more engines and two graders,
the latter of special pattern designed
by Mr.. Sick, and the engines of con
larger size than the two now
in use, have been ordered, to be here
with a few days.
Slick Brothers, the contractors for
the canal and dam work, have shown
themselves to be hustIers in the super
lative degree. James Slick is the ma
chinery expert, while William is the
rock man and looks after the business
end The Journal force is indebted to
the latter for much information here
given, and for one of the most enjoya-
Bile days one could wish to spend any
where.
Settlers are going to the Alberta tract
almost every day. There is still large
acreage of fine land ready for settle
nent, and the company has hardly lost

and really investigated the land and the

Die land is going to mean when it is

GOOD SUMMER SCHOOL.

Mrs. Burnside has returned from {
visit to the summer school at Pocatello
She reports a very successful session,
there being some rs people enrolled.
The advantages offered at Pocatello by
reason of the dormorities and buildings
of the Academy add largely, she says,
to the success of the school.
The following Lincoln county teach
ers are enrolled: Blanche Gwin. Ada
Turnbull, Amy Crandall, Mary Davis
and Minnie Yaden of Shoshone; Lisle
Fleisher, of Hepburn, Douglas Hits,
of Gooding and Lawrence Kessen-
ger, of Rupert, all of which means
at least eight better schools for Lincoln
county this year than if the summer
school had not been created. So few
school teachers ever comprehend the
basic principles underlying the art
of school teaching that it JOY to the
soul when one, or few, are found put
ting forth an extra effort to prepare
to be builders of character.
