sensation will be greater. The Incl

Stewart's friends say he was given

was refused and he was hustled to
Arizona where he says he has since
tried vainly to get hearing.

Two hundred and eighty-nine men,
and 100 teams are now employed on
the dam of the Umatilla irrigation
project reservoir and the work is be-
ing rushed to completion to be ready
for the Hermiston excursion on May
27, when water will be turned from
the reservoir on to the land in the
project.
About geo acres of the immense
reservoir are now covered with water
from 10 to 30 feet in depth and a
half head of water is flowing from the
Umatilla river through the feed canal
into the reservoir. II will require 100
days with n full head of water in the
feed canal to I'll the reservoir to its
capacity.
The great dam which will be 1000
feet long on top and $40 feet long on
the bottom with width through the
dam Of 600 feet is about IS per cent
completed. 1t will be raised yet
about 10 feet and all the forces are
now employed ON this work. The
gravel trains are employed in hauling
gravel from the pit mile away and
the teams Tre employed In hauling
dirt and sand from near the dam,
while a steam shovel Is also employed
in the work. -
The dam is being constructed In
most substantial manner. AS the dirt
and gravel are placed in layers on the
surface, they are lplowed. cultivated
and rolled vigorously. several teams
being emplowed In cultivating the sur
face and rolling II down so 1t Is
built up almost as solid as a cement
wall.
On the face of the dam next to the
water a surface OF three feet of crush
ed rock Is placed and q. concrete flood
or overflow basin Is constructed at the
north extremity of the dam to permit
the waste water to flow over in case
OF floods.
The concrete tower In which the
headgate is placed is now complete
and Is over 20 feet In height. The
headgate Is so arranged with triple
gearing that although 1t weighs sew
eral tons. one man with a lever can
raise and lower 1t with ease.
The concrete arch by which the
water will flow from the reservoir
under the dam to the distributing ca
nails Is now complete and is over 400
feet in length. 1t is five by seven
feet in size. The reservoir cannot be
drained dry, the headgate being above
the bottom OF the bed OF the reservoir.
This is made necessary to prevent the
headgate from being covered or clog
ged with sediment which win natural
~ wash into the reservoir.
The force OF water which Is now
running into the reservoir may be i'm.
agined from the fact that at the inlet
where the feed canal enters the reser-
voir, a gorge 1900 feet in length, so
feet in width and 40 feet deep has
been cut by the flow OF water. This
immense gorge has been followed |
out by the small head OF water now
flowing into the reservoir.
The mouth OF the feed canal or In
let into the reservoir is constructed |
OF concrete and is arranged in a series /
of cascades. about 100 feet in length
which serve to break the force of the
water falling into the bed Of the reser-
volr.
1t Is said that the machinery, loco
motives, teams and all government
equipment now in use on the Umatllla
project will be sent to the Tieton pro-
ject in Washington when the work is
completed here.
