h'sAMightyG Good, Big Dam
Engineer Richardson Pleased With Everything
Out at the Reservoir How 1t Ranks With
Other Great Water Storage Dams.

( do river that flooded the Salton sea,
and which cost the Southern Pacific
almost s2,OOO,O0O to control. His
work was not part of the break,
nor was it affected by the great ca
tastrophe It was one of the J.. G.
White contracts
Some interesting details are given
regarding the place the Big Wood
river reservoir will hold among the
similar great structures of the world.
The Croton river dam, to store water
for New York city, is 275 feet high,
of solid masonry The pathfinder
dam to supply one of the government
irrigation projects, is 200 feet high;
the Roosevelt dam is 24O feet high;
and the Shoshoni dam the highest
in the world, is more than 800 feet
high. These are all masonry dams,
Of a different character from the Big
Wood river structure, which is of
the rock fill type, depending on its
bulk and weight to hold it in place.

OF the masonry structures, which are
built and locked into the walls of the
canyons; the two types are adapted
to different places-the masonry to
a solid-walled, narrow canyon like
the Shoshone, which is almost deep
er than it is wide, and the rock-fll
type to the more open, longer struc-
lures like that necessary in the Big
Wood river.
Mr.. Richardson was highly pleas
ed with the work being done on the
Big Wood river dam. The large
force is under most complete
and effective organization, and they
get the utmost possible out of their
time. The dam is to be available for
use down to the smallest fraction of
one per cent of its total storage ca
pacity, the outlet tunnel being so
near the bottom that 1t practically
Trains the reservoir dry. The force
is occasion demands, and the engin-
,ers are counting on eating their
Christmas dinners in New York City.
The Oxbow project, which Mr..
went to see after leaving
lere, consists of a cutoff tunnel
which saves a distance of several
niles in a great bend of the Snake
iver, bend where there is consid-
rable fall, and the cutoff gives an
Elective fall of so feet for power
with the greater part of
he whole Snake river if necessary.

IT'S LOTS BETTER NOW.

Edward L. Wells, director of the
Idaho weather bureau station at
Boise, was visitor up at the Wood
river branch, Tuesday. Mr.. Wells
was wonderfully surprised at the
growth of Richfeld, which was al
most altogether new to him. The
last time he came up the branch, he
visited HALEY. He had planned to get
back to Shoshone to take the west
bound train for Boise to meet an i'm
portant engagement. At Haley.
there were 13 cars of sheep to load
and then, after filling the cars, there
were about 100 sheep left over. So
they had to go over the train again,
and apportion those sheep among the
cars already loaded, doubling the
original time for loading. Now,
there is an excellent separate passen-
ger train service on the road, and
passengers are run on their own mer-
its, without waiting the convenience
of the sheep.
The weather bureau requirements
call for observation stations not less
than 20 miles apart, and as there is
station at Shoshone, Rich
field is not quite far enough to Sc
cure recognition under ordinary rules.
But Mr.. Wells says that Richfield
should be able to secure a station, if
a good man could be found to look af-
ter it. An accurate record of the
weather is a very valuable suggestion
for crop growing, and a station would
be a good thing to have at this
place.

T. F. Richardson, general super
vising engineer for all the J. G.
White e Co. construction work in
the United States. was a visitor in
Richfeld last week, going out to
the dam and over the canal line on a
tour of inspection. He left here to
go to the great Oxbow power pro-
ject, on the Snake river above Wei
ser.
Mr.. Richardson gives some very
interesting facts regarding the J. G.
White company work. One thing
they have done and are doing, is the
building of 800 miles of railroads in
the Philippines. They built a great
harbor in Iloilo, one of the most i'm
portant shipping ports in the Philip
pines. They are now building an
electric line in India, where the NO
pushee, no pullee, run like hellee"
cars will soon displace the two-cents
a-day syce and peon. They have
built some immense dams, one of
them being the Lacrosse dam across
the Black river, in Wisconsin, which
furnishes water power for acres of
factories and many miles of railroad.
Beore coming to the White company
Mr.. Richardson did some important
work of his own, among
other things the building of con-
crete power dam in Massachusetts,
22S feet high. He was working two
years ago on big dam at Yuma,
miles above the break in the Colora-

DEPOT ALMOST DONE.
o. S. l.. Will So Have Good Home In
Richfield.

Work is going on steadily on the
o. S. l.. depot at this place. The
building, which is at the foot of
Main street, will be half a mile near
er the business part of town than the
present place where there is no de-
pot, and will be. a comfortable and
commodious structure. 1t should be
finished within a couple of weeks,
when the railroad Office will be NOV
ed in at once.
The Short Line has had an i'm
mense freight business in Richfield
From all that can be gathered OF
the business, freight and passenger,
it is probable that the company has
had from $4,000 to SIS, 900 a month
from this point. The shipment of the
heavy machinery and material for
the great dam has been one of the
largest items; there were many car
loads of this heavy stuff. There were
the three locomotives, and two 25
ton steam shovels to begin with, be-
sides the myriads of other things,
not so heavy for each one, but the ag-
gregate weight has been large The
engine and pump for the city water
works, and all the piping and sup
plies for the system, help swell the
aggregate. There were several car
loads of rails for the railroad out at
the dam, the big hydraulic gates for
the dam weigh ten tons each; the
sheet steel piling for the bottom of
the dam amounts to several car
loads; and the groceries alone for
the commissary store at the dam run
up into train loads during the year.
Hay and grain for the contractors

Hales & Crane, the contractors on

This will include the 100000 es-

TENNIS AND BASE BALL.
Two Great Games Almost Ready for
RichfieId Players.

Two Great Games Almost Ready for
RichfieId Players.
Work has been going on this week
on the tennis court and base ball
diamond, in the east part of town.
The tennis court is now practically
ready to be used, and it is expected
that there will not be fair day that
games. The club now has enough
members, at So a member, to provide
all the necessary funds for its main
tenance and equipment. Most of the
members have bought new rackets
and other equipment, a large order Of
the finest Spalding goods having re-
Gently been received here.
While the weather has not been fa-
vorable to base ball, the diamond
is being put in order for some hot
games. Richfield and Shoshone, with
the former only partial team, played
week ago Sunday, Shoshone win
ming with score of 7 to 6. With the
whole of the local team on the field,
it is not believed that outsiders can
ever again come within hailing dis
tance OF this performance. But
whether they do or not, the Richf1eld
team will persevere and will make the
best showing possible-which is to be
the championship of Idaho

OF the busiest shipping points any
where on the line, though the facili-
ties have been of the poorest. The
passenger traffic has been very heavy,
an average of perhaps 80 to 40 tick
cts being sold out every day.
Oh, yes, Richfeld has need of a
depot. And the depot will soon be
here ready for the need.

Dietrich tract, which is about the big
gest job of them all. There will be
considerable rock work, especially
near the upper end of the tract. But
the contractors will get the largest
force possible at work all along the
line, and they promise to complete
the job months ahead of time. Water
would not be needed until next spring
but the contractors say they can fin
ish up the last shovel-ful of dirt be-
fore October is past-six months
ahead of time.
While some of the water for the
Gooding tract will be taken through

about miles, most of it will be put

Revolutionary Outbreak in Colombia
Is Reported-Gen. Ieuaran Said
to Be Leader.

Willemstad, Apr. 5. - Rumors
reached here Sunday of revolution
airy outbreak against the administra-
ton Of President Reyes, Of Colombia,
in the vicinity of Rio Hacha, seaport
on the Caribbean. Gen. Iguaran is said
to be the leader of the uprising.
Evidences of political unrest in the
Colombian republic were recorded
some three weeks ago as result of
the effort of the administration to
have the three sided treaty between
Colombia, Panama and he United
States ratified by the existing assem-
bly,. The people objected to this body,
which is entirely appointive, taking
any step of this kind and insisted that
the matter be referred to a national
congress to be elected in July. The
government acquiesced, and popular
elections have been called.

The strikers are of the opinion that

that as the summer season is at hand

CONCERN FINED $4,000
Judge Marshall inflicts Penalty for
Alleged Conspiracy in State
of Utah.

Salt Lake City, Utah. Mar. 30.-In
the United States district court here
to-day. Judge Marshall fined the Union

Short Line, the Union Pacific Coal
Company and ]. M. Moore, manager of
the Union Pacific Company. $4,000
each.
Everett Buckingham, division traf-
fic' manager of the Oregon Short Line.
was fined $1,000.
The fines are the result of suit
against the coal company and two rail-
road companies, by the d. j. Sharp
Coal Company of this city, who alleged
that the defendants had conspired and
had refused to haul coal previously
purchased by the Sharp company.
These charges were sustained at the
trial by a jury which found the de.
