The dam site is an ideal one, and
was only chosen after a most careful
survey and examination of all pos
sible locations in that ueighborhood.
The dam, as it is being built, is de-
signed according to the most modern
and approved methods of dan con-
struction.
The ditch company has used every
precaution to be absolutely certain
that the dam when built will be safe
in every respect, aud to this end sew
eral of the best eng ireers in the couu-
try were brought here and submitted
reports on the dam site itself, as we'll
as on the design of the dam and
method of construction. Among the
engineers who came and reported fa-
vorably on both the site and the de-
sign were Jas. d. Schuyler, consulting
hydraulic engineer of Los Angeles,
who has built dams all over North
and South America and is the author
of standard text books on the subject;
Thos. Phee, contracting dam engi
neer of Chicago; L. w. Jaycox of
Denver, state engineer of Colorado,
who examined the dam on two occa-
sions; Paul S. a. Bickell, insulting
engineer in charge Of the Twin Falls,
Idaho, project; and F. H. Bailey,
hydraulic engineer and at present
chief engineer of the Bitter Root
Valley Irrigation company.
In connection with the stability of
the dam, it might be we'll to mention
an incident little known in the valley.
Some time ago several farmers living
near the mouth of Rock creek beca me
uneasy over the thought of possible
flood, and sent petition to President
Roosevelt, asking that he send some
government engineer to inspect the
site, type of dam, etc. Their petition
was referred to the Department of the
Interior, and two engineers were ap-
pointed to make a careful inspection,
and report. Only one of these gov
government men was able to come,
he being the engineer who is now in
charge of the Sun river irrigatio pro-
ject in this state. He reported to
Washington that the site and propos-
ed construction were safe and salts
factory in every particular.
The dam will be constructed by rum
ming a narrow gauge track on
trestle down each side of the dam, on
the extreme outside, and dumping the
earth. 1t will then be washed into
the center by hydraulic streams, max

CONSTRUCTION WORK is
IN ACTIVE PROGRESS
TO Be 4 Stable STRUCTURE
Noted Engineers Have In
spected Site and Design
and Voiced Approval.

Work on the big dam being built by
the Bitter Root Irrigation Co. at Lake
Como is progressing at a good rate.
The work thus far, however, has been
largely a preparation for actual con-
structiou. The site of the dam has
been thoroughly cleared off and d
standard gauge railroad, for use in
hauling materl7i and supplies to the
scene of construction, has been built
from the A. G. NJ. Co. road on Lick
creek 10 the head of the lake. Last
week the steam shovels and dinky
engines were put in operation, and
the actual work of filling in with dirt
is now III progress.
Apprehension as to the stability
of the dam has been felt by numerous
resioeuts, as the damage that would
be done by q flood in case of a sudden
break can scarcely be computed. This
led last week to a visit by County
Commissioners Treece and Appolo-
nio to the site of the dam. Their OBJ
Ject was to get first hand informa-
ton as to the character Of the struc-
ture, feeling that while there was no
occasion for alarm, it was their duty
to insist that every precaution be
taken to insure the public against
possible loss. The success of the ditch
being entirely dependent on the
safety of the dam, the company itself
naturally has the most vital interest
in the matter, and, the officials state,
invites inspection. This interest will
continue, as all its land is being sold
ION deferred payments and after this
is disposed of, which will be from five
to ten years, the company will retain
control of the ditch and sell the water.
