merly tho river channel. cofferdam
Mass erected above the canyon, and by
water was diverted from it's natural
course. A gate in this tunnel Will
serve to regulate the outlet upon the
completion of the dam.
Another tunnel for use as spillway
is being driven through the solid gran
ite of Rattlesnake Mountain. This is
intended to prevent the incessant wear
caused by the water flowing over the
top cf the dam
In order to obtain foundation of
solid rock it was necessary to eXca-
vate 81 feet below the river bed. The
high water last spring overtlowing the
necessarily small fume caused a sus-
pension of work for several weeks. and
it is only recently that the excavation
has been completed and the pit filled
with concrete.
Work on the visible portion of the
dam has just been started. Unless un-
foreseen obstacles are met it is eX-
pected that the structure will be COM
rleted next April.
When filled to it's capacity the reser
voir thus created will measure about
I miles in width by 8 miles in length.
Considerable change will be effected in
the country above the canyon, where
several hourishing ranches are now 10
Gated. These farms have been bought
bv the government. The little town
of Marquette must nerforce change its
location. for its site will be buried un-
der 50 feet of water.
Near Corbett about - miles below
the canyon, the governments plans
cover the irrigation of 105.d00 acres of
land, part of which has been thrcwn
open to settlement. The Shoshone dam
is being erected primarily for the pur-
pose of storing the river torrent in the
spring and thus obtaining an adequate
supply for this and other irrigation
projects during the dry summer
months.
Some time in the future. the date to
be determined largely by the demand
for irrigated land, another tunnel will
be driven through Rattlesnake Noun
tain. BY means of this tunnel and
canal leading to large fiat near Cody
several additional thousands of acres
will be placed under irrigation.
The whole project is part Of the
governments great irrigation service,
which. as some one has put, "is MAX
ing the dry places wet and the vet
places dry." The various irrigation
projects in Wyoming. Montana and
idaho are rapidly changing the country
from land If sagehrush and cactus
to one of prosperous farms and flour
isiirg towns. To one unacquainted
with Western development the sudden
transformation is marvellous.

The department of publicity of
the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition.
which will be held at Seattle next
year, has sent out a circular which
states that the exposition will be
dry" No Intoxicating beverages will
be sold on the grounds, and this action
has been taken despite the fact that
the sale of beer and liquors is known
to have been great source of revenue
at former expositions. The manage
ment takes pains to make it known

take the place of the Midway and will
contain a mile of amusement resorts

to President Roosevelt for his efforts
