Work on Big Dam on Middle Fork
Begins Sept. /.
INITIAL INVESTMENT s250,0OO
Eastern Capitalists will Invest Much
Money in Development.

The promoters of the huge concrete
dam to be built in the Middle Fork
of the Clearwater at this point have
been little slow, but they have not
been idle. The Mountaineer has not
been harping on this proposition from
week to week--it left that part Of the
work for others-but from the first
day this gigantic enterprise was spoken
of this paper has had no occasion to
lose confidence in it or the prime
movers in the project.
About the first of September actual
construction work on the dam will
begin. Men and teams have already
been hired and building is now in
course of construction III which to put
the sacked cement as it is hauled from
the cars. Two cars Of cement are
already on the ground and more on
the road. A concrete mixer, together
with other paraphernalia to be used
in the work was shipped from the east
last week and will be here within a
week or ten days. The cement is
being shipped from Ogden, Utah,
where the company own s and operates
an extensive cement plant. just
how extensive the work will be en-
tered into on the start we are not pre-
pared to say at this time, but this
much can be said: The dam will be
started as stated above and the whole
proposition carried through as fart as
possible. What this dam is being
built for will be given out later.
That part of it has all been figured
out by those directly interested and
when the proper time comes the
Mountaineer will tell you all about it.
In the meantime let us all content
ourselves with the fact that the dam
is going in. With pr reliminary work
now in progress person must indeed

In Auto to Elk City.

John Jack and r. Cote left Tues
day morning in the formers auto for
Elk City where they will meet Mrs.
Jack, who has been chaperoning party
at Fish Lake. The trip is a hard
one and no doubt the party will have
some thrilling experiences before the

the roads to the camp being in such a
condition that people have not cared
