agent of the company stated that after
paying six monthly installments of six
dollars each and an additional payment
of ($36.00) thirty-six dollars, that the
holder of the contract would become
eligible for a loan of per cent. per

mighty pretty to poor man who was
ambitious to own a home of his own.

DIXON, Miss. May 29.-This part OF
the state was visited this week by the

Is an Indian legend that says red
skin hero once leaped across the
chasm to escape the avenging Man
itou.
In this wild spot Uncle Sam de-
cided the work was to be done.
The place is a terror to engineers.
The biggest problem, at first, was
to get the rock drills, dynamite
electric plants and concrete mixers
on the ground. Three years ago
the work started, and it is not fin
ished yet.

The slip of hoof would have
spelled disaster to man, machinery
and beasts.
Then the engineers literally
wiped the Shoshone river off the
map! They bored big tunnel
through the granite side of the
mountain, and with dynamite and
rock drill turned the roaring tor
rent into it.
Under the natural rock of the
river bed they tunneled and blasted
and on this bedrock foundation
started their concrete foundation.
They were below water level and
the collapse of the tunnel would
have drowned them like rats.
A suspension bridge was swung
in the air. AS the concrete bulwark
grew. the work, strange to say, was
less. For instead of lifting the con-
crete to the 200 odd feet needed, it
was swung down to the men from

CODY, Wyo., Dec. 17.-Uncle
Sam is building, eight miles from
hefe, a dam that will spread the
torrent waters of the Shoshone
riuer over an area four miles wide
and nine miles long, although the
river is now only 100 feet wide.
The reservoir thus created means
the biggest job the reclamation de-
partment ever did, though it is not
as costly.
1T is more dangerous, it is more
spectacular, and in it more lives
have been put in peril than in many
projects costing 10 times the $780,
003hat has been sunk for this dam.
Here are some of the things the
government engineers did to build
this dam:
They wiped the Shoshone river
off the map for several miles, and
then they put it on the map again.
They damned mountain chasm
half a mile deep.
They are creating a cataract that

falls.
They cut a cash in the solid
granite of mountain 600 feet long,
through which the Twentieth Cen
tufy limited could run.
And, to cap it all, they are going ,
to demolish the neighboring town
of Marquette to make room for
more water!
