North Sterling Irrigation
Districts.
Well damn it any way. Here!
that don't sound we'll from al
Sunday school teacher. What
do you mean by it? In reply he
said he meant to "dam up Ced-
or Creek so we might irrigate
100000 acres of the most fertile
land out of doors. This land
being on the north side of the
South Platte between Sterling
and Julesburg. For years the
project was talked about. To-
day it is nearing completion
and stands as a monument to
the will power of man. The
site chosen for the dam is ideal
being at a place where the Val
ley narrows to about one half
mile wide with a high point on
each side.
After preliminary surveys
were made it was put to a vote
in the proposed district, $2,OO0,-
600 in bonds were voted, a
board was elected, engineers
were secured, bonds were sold
and the work completed.
You say S2,000,0O0 in bonds
were voted? Yes sir and not
as much fuss as you might see
at a little district election in
some eastern communities over
a one thousand dollar school
house that wouldn't amount to
fifty cents an acre.
The engineers figured that
there was not enough water in
this Cedar Creek and its tribu-
taries to furnish water so they
set their levels and discov cred
they could go up the South
Platte about forty miles, tap
the river AMI taking the sur
plus winter water and store
it in this imense reservoir. The
Intake ditch is now finished six
ty miles long and thirty feet
wide at the bottom and will
carry water to the depth of six
feet. In many places where
it crossed streams it had to be
reinforced with concrete, for
when it rains it pours and these
emergencies must be prepared
for. The bed of the reservoir
covered five sections and held
enough water to cover 100000
acres one foot deep. This dam
is some dam. First grass and
weeds were cut and burned and
roots were grubbed out so that
no sign Of vegetation was left.
The ground to be beneath
1.-THE dam was corrugated on this

used is equal to the dirt taken
from a hole a mile square
and ten feet deep. The dam
is three hundred and sixty
eight feet at the widest part at
the base and tapers to sixteen
feet at the crown, being eighty
five feet high across most OF
the valley and five thousand
and one hundred feet long over
all. The dirt was hauled in
dump wagons drawn by three
and four horses or mules from
pits on either side and at the
ends of the dam. There were 3

There have been various stories Of
the cause Of the unpleasantness. Cap
tain Longan ascribed it to the fact that
during the punishment tours he had
refused to permit the culprits to walk
out their sentences under cover during
drizzle of rain. 1t is the custom in
the academy for the men to do the
punishment tours out of doors in fair
weather, but to march up and down
the galleries in doors If the weather
is inclement.
In other words, they are supposed
to have enough sense to go in when
1t rains. Captain Longan did not con-

tance to call off the game because Of

President Taft.
During the previous administration
several cadets were also dismissed for
