lllOulii bA Nilt ptilSlONh PtONNNlto by heavy castings of bronze with square openings 22 inches square of which there are thirty in all, ten high and three wide. This is con nected with the steel tube above mentioned by the concrete work that is to be made around the forms we mentioned above. This water power is to be used for three of the six large generators that will eventually be installed in the new power house, the other three being run by the old penstock that is furnished by the nineteen mile canal that is now furnishing all the power required at present. We would advise visitors to the dam to ask to see the little iron wheel called a turbine that, har- messed to the pressure of water from above, moves the vast machinery used in operating the power con nected with the whole dam works Taken with the rest, it sure looks very insignificant indeed

Another In dian went through the spectators and charged them fifty cents each. After the dance the fancy headwear was sold at five dollars apiece. About everyone in camp turned out to see it.
