TRYING TO SAVE
PATHFINDER Dam
A FoRTv-FooT SECTION BLOWN
FROM TOP TO RELIEVE THE
PRESSURE.
CASPER IS ENDANGERED
FLOOD THREATENS THE GOVERN
MENT's GREAT RESERVOIR ON
THE NORTH PLATTE.

Denver-The Republican Tuesday
morning says: Forty feet Of the solid
granite masonry on the United States
governments new Pathfinder dam on
the North Platte river near Casper.
wyo, was blown off by dynamite yes
terday in final effort to save the big
dam and prevent the reservoir from
bursting and sending wall Of water
215 feet high down the narrow river
channel to engulf the town of Casper
and the surrounding dams.
sheet Of water more than twenty
feet deep was pouring through the big
gap in the dam last night, and it IS
believed by Supervising Engineer Ira
Mcconnell of Denver who is on the
ground, that this sluiceway will
sufficiently reduce the pressure on the
dam to save it, and will also prevent
the river from bursting out at the side
of the reservoir and opening a new
channel around the dam.
The flood which has been raging in
the North Platte for a week continued
to rise on Sunday night and yesterday
morning the water had reached a
stage within few feet of the low sad
die In the hills half mile above the
dam, where a gap opens twenty feet
lower than the top Of the big DAM 1t
has been feared since the high waters
began that the river would rush
through this saddle and cut a new
channel around the base of the Path
finder dam, pour back into the river
below the dam. sweep in full force
down the channel for fifty miles to
Casper and overwhelm the town.
At noon yesterday the river was
within few rect of the danger line
and as final emergency method the
top forty feet of the 215-foot granite
million dollars, and was completed
only ten days ago by Geddis & Seerie
Of Denver, was shattered by dynamite.
Two days ago the Pathfinder dam it.
self sprung a crack in its south wing
and yesterday morning stream of wa
ter two inches In diameter was pour
ing through this crevice. The pres
sure on the dam was increasing every
hour and in spite of all that big
shift OF laborers could do with cement
and rock, the crevice was slowly WI
dening. It is hoped that the dynamit-
ing of the top of the dam will save
this south wing.
Terror reigns in the valley of the
North Platte below the dam. The
great reservoir is full of water and
the full flood capacity OF the river is
pouring into 1t. II the dam breaks or
the river cuts out side channel a
death-bearing flood will rush down on
Casper.
At q late hour last night Geddis &
Seerie of Denver, who built the dam.
and who sent the emergency crew to
Pathfinder on Saturday night, had re-
ceived no bulletin from the dam. Cen
eral Manager Frank Walters Of the
Northwestern railroad. with headquar-
ters at Omaha. received telegraphic
report from the dam late yesterday
afternoon announcing that the dyna-
miting had been resorted to and stat
ing that engineers on the ground be-
lieved that the dam would be saved.
At the top the big dam is eight feet
thick and 600 feet long. The width Of
the gap blasted out is not known.

WIRELESS PLANT
TO BE ERECTED
UNITED COMPANY PREPARES
FOR NEW STATION
BUILDERS READY FOR WORK ON
COSTLY EQUIPMENT
operators in Boyle Heights Quarters
May Be Able to Send Messages
to Hawaii Without
Relay

The United Wireless Telegraph COM
pany will begin work tomorrow on the
construction of a new plant for Los
Angeles at the end of Rowan avenue
near the JansS reservoir. Inc equip
ment has been received for a tlVe kllo-
watt plant, which will be one OF the
most efficient in the country, as Man
ager Bleakney says enough time will
be taken in the installation to make II
as perfect as possible.
Poles las feet high will be set up TO-
morrow for a 300-foot aerial. The sta
ton will be painted white and will have
a green roof, which will make 1t
distinguished feature of Boyle Heights,
as it will be placed on hill. A land
scape gardener will be employed to lay
out the grounds in an attractive man
ner. The new station will be completed
and tested within two months, but the
company will not discontinue its
Chutes park station for the present.
Completion of the Boyle Heights sta
ton will greatly enlarge the field of
the United Wireless company, giving
a wider radius at sea and affording
better communication with San Fran
cisco. Seattle and other northern ports.
Hawaii Without Relay
"I believe 1t will enable us to COM
municate without relay with Hawaii, -
said Mr.. Bleakney yesterday. wire
less is so freakish that 1t is impossible
to say definitely how much better we
can do. but the new station will greatly
exten our local facilities. Tests made
on the new site lead me to believe that
we will get away from most of the
kid trouble, which has so greatly
bothered us at the Chutes station
through the interference of amateurs.
This will be a great benefit, as we have
been almost obliged to suspend business
temporarily at times through the inter-
ference of boys who have wireless sets.
1.-THE United Wireless Telegraph
company is putting in new stations and
equipping ships elsewhere very rapidly.
The service is going in all over the
great lakes. AS result of the recent
accident to one of it's steamers near
Magdalena bay we are equipping the

company on the Panama service
