HE'LL GATE OF THE LAKES.
Greatest Golfer Dam In the World Now
BujIdinu There


Building There.
For more than third of a century
the United States government has
been striving to provide channel In
prove equal to the constantly increas-
ing demands of marine interests on
the great lakes.
The conquest of the Lime Kiln
Crossing some fourteen miles below
Detroit. and the most troublesome
spot on the inland seas, has kept gov,
ernment engineers busy for years.
made contractors wealthy and furnish
ed employment for hundreds Of skilled
drill and dredge men.
We're all the collisions, groundlings
and other accidents that have taken
place in the vicinity of the Lime Kiln
Crossing to be enumerated, the show
ing would be impressive. Now this
most perplexing problem of removing
this hindrance to further marine de-
velopment Is well along toward solu-
tion that will, 1t is confidently pre-
dicted, eliminate trouble for all time.
The change is being brought about
through one Of the most remarkable
engineering feats on record, which in
wolves nothing less than the construc-
tion of the greatest Golfer dam the
world has ever known, the pumping
out of an area more than a mile in
length and approximately one-third of
a mile in width, and cutting in the dry
from the limestone rock forming the
river bottom a course 800 feet in width
and a mile in length that will, when
completed, accommodate the largest
vessels on the great lakes.
