Belle Fourche, 8. D. Aug. 30.-That

offset the work Of the government ex-
perts who are completing the big dam
for the Belle Fourcile irrigation prof.
est north OF here, is shown In the
tcrumbling Of portions Of the concrete
work in the aqueducts. This process.
of crumbling was first discovered some
time 6 and the concrete work re-;
paired, but the same thing occurred
again. Careful investigation and
analysis of the water led TO the con-,
clusion that the alkalj was responsible,
for the crumbling only occurred where
the water runs owe the concrete or,
stands on 1t a couple OF inches deep.
The entire outer layer of finishing coat
of concrete was eaten off. The experts
are or the opinion that when the water
is turned in from the Belle FOurchei
river and the rain and snow water
swells the volume, that II will cause
the alkali to be more evenly distributed.
