IRRIGATION IN
NORTH WYOMING
Water Now Available for About
$1,000 Acres on the Sho-
Shone Project.
Especial to The HeraldD

Washington, d. c., Aug. 15.-The re-
clamation service was this morning ad-
vised that high pressure gates in the
outlet tunnel of the Shoshone reservoir
have been successfully installed and
that water is flowing through the tun-
mel today. This marks an important
step in the construction of what will
be the highest dam in the world. which
the government is erecting in the cam
yon of Shoshone river, in northern Wy
oming, for the storage of water to ir-
rigate 10000 acres of land in the vicin-
ity of Cody. These gates are placed in
au outlet tunnel passing through solid
granite cliff around the right end of the
dam. The elevation of the inlet of this
tunnel is 230 feet below the top of the
dam, and the reservoir capacity be-
tween the mouth of the tunnel and crest
of the spillway is 100000 acre feet. For
the purpose of controlling the discharge
of water through this outlet tunnel
three large cast iron sluice gates have
been installed. each seven and one-haif
feet long and four and one-haf feet
wide, weighing 10000 pounds.
Shoshone dam blocks a narrow gorge
in the river. 1t will rise 80 feet above
its foundation. 1t is los feet long on the
bottom and only lis feet long on top.
The dam will create lake with a su-
perficial area of about ten square miles
and average depth of something like
seventy feet Twelve miles below the
dam a diversion dam has been built in
the river. turning the stream through
a tunnel three and one-quarter miles
long, into a large canal
The system has now reached a point
where water can be delivered 10 5,0oo
acres and settlers, principally from the
middle states. are now taking up their
homes on this land.
Alfalfa, wheat, oats. barley and the
harder vegetables and fruits can be
produced abundantly when water is APP
piled. The land is traversed by the
Burlington railroad. and there is an
abundance of fuel in coal mines III the
vicinity and lumber in nearby forests.
Probably 10000 acres for which water
is now available are open to entry.

the stream of water with sufficient
strength for the purpose intended.
Difficulty is often experienced in ex-
tinguishing fires through the lack of
sufficient pressure in the fire hose to
deliver a stream of water high enough
in the air to reach the upper portion
OF a burning building. This lack of
force is due to the friction caused by
the passage of the water through an
extreme length of hose. The pumping
engine delivers the water with suffic-
lent pressure for the intended purpose
but such pressure is gradually eX-
hausted by the friction in the hose and
fails i'm its purpose when the discharge
nozzle is reached.
Chief GlOre has made a thorough re-
search into hydraulics for the purpose
of the completion of his present in
vention, and il is stated by several
authorities on this subject that the
correct principle has been evolved
throughout the whole work. The pat
ent date is Nov. IA, 1905.
at is simply the practical method"
said Fire Chief Glore. "of using science
in obtaining the complete force from
a fire engine and using it to advantage
in fighting fire"

COAL ROAD IN UTAH.
President Schreck at Price Securing
Right of Way.
Especial to The HeraldD


Price, Utah, Aug. l5.-Albert r.
Barnes, attorney, and President Schreck
of the Southern Utah Railroad company
are here today securing rights of way
for their line. which is to be the ship
ping outlet for the coal product of the
Miller Creek mines of the Consolidated
Fuel company, seventeen miles in a
southwesterly direction from Price. 1t
is the intention TO make a connection at
Price with the Denver & Rio Grande
system. but where the road is to come
in is as yet undetermined, much de-
pending on the price of the right of way
and the inducements otherwise held
out. So far every one approached. in
Guiding some of the heaviest property
owners on the route of the line, has
been more than wiling 10 meet the
company half way.
Grading work on the road is TO begin
at once across the Price river, and IL
will be where its utility will not be
amiss even though the preliminary sur
vey on the north side of the river
should be entirely changed later. The
iron and other material for the seven
teen miles of road is now en- route from
Missouri and should be arriving within
the coming two weeks.

The members of the board of public

D CLOCK In the evening. when The adver-
tisement stated that all bids must be in
by O'Clock. Chairman H G. Mcmillan
overruIed the objection at the time. The
Old was opened and proved to be the low
est. Then Mr.. Moran made his speech
ana the board yesterday backed water and
decided that Moran was right and il was
wrong in accepting a bid received half
an hour late
When the board convened yesterday
Samuel p. Barlow, who on the previous
night had endeaVored without success to
make MIR. Moran stop talking, moved that
all the bids be rejected and that the
clerk be instructed TO advertise again for
a period of twenty days.
Mcmillan in Opposition.
c. d. Rooklidge seconded the motion.
Ihe bid of Mellen undoubtedly

that we had a legal right TO accept it
after Hanley made his protest. | did not
think last evening that ii made any par
ticular difference. but | have been look

Il don't think there is anything in that
point" replied Chairman Mcmillan.
w. J. Ha,loran agreed with Mr. Rock
Hdge and declared that il was not fair
to the other bidders, nor was il CUSTOM
airy to accept bids coming in after the
time limit.
When the vote was taken only McMii-

Figures Are Different.

In verifying the figures of the various
bidders the engineer discovered that the
totals furnished by all were apDroxi-
mately correct, with the exception of the
Mellen bid. which was given by the con-
tractor at s15. S95.56. but when the sep
arate items were footed by the engineer
it amounted to only SAG A. or 1854 u less
than the contractors figures.
The contract for sewer extension No.
200 was awarded to j. d. Hanley for $50.
Just before the board adjourned Mr..
Rooklidge moved that in tbe-future the
clerk stamp the bids when they come
in with the exact time. and hat no bids
in the future be received after the time
mentioned in the advertisement. This Was
carried unanimously.
