IN is LOGICAL

Sioux City Journal: 1t is suggest
ed that great economic gain would
be scored if the tramps and the aban-
doned farms in the east could be
merged The theory is that man
who will not work for others might
be induced to work for himself. II
is nice little theory and it might be
found to work part of the time with
some of the near hoboes. It will
never work with Weary Willie him-
self, however, for Willie will never
be able to work UP enough energy to
make the experiment.

SOUTH DAkoTA.s GREAT DAM I

Belle Fourche, S. D., May 12. Un-
less unfavorable weather interferes
the contractors will complete tho
Belle Fourche dam early in juno.
This structure is one Of tho most
spectacular engineering works 81 the
reclamation service, and its construc-
tion has attracted widespread inter-
est on the part Of engineers from al
parts of the world.
In order to provide storage feser-
voir which will control the flood and
normal flow Of a whole river, the gov
ernment has built an enormous em-
bankment to close the depression be-
tween two hills. This wall Of earth
is 5000 feet long, with maximum
height Of lis feet. 1t is 20 feet wide
on top, and 500 feet thick at base. It
contains 1900, 900 cubic yards Of ma
terial.
After the dam was In place the wa
ter slope was covered with layer Of
carefully screened gravel, on which
was laid paving of concrete blocks,
each weighing from 1000 to 1905
pounds. The nearest gravel pit was
u miles away, SO the contractors set
up plant at the pit, and built rail-
road to the dam on which were con-
yeyed the heavy concrete blocks.
A concrete dam across the river
turns the entire stream into canal
with capacity of 1900 cubic fest per
second, which conveys the water to
the reservoir. The reservoir when
filled is the largest lake in South Da-
kota. From it the principal canals
carry the water to the irrigible lands
in the beautiful Belle Fourche valley,
and 10O,O 900 acres ultimately will be
supplied.
Settlement has been rapid here
Isince construction began. Once the
land of the cowboy the valley has
now become thrifty agricultural
community. The opportunities it of
fers for the settler, the merchant and
professional man are numerous ana
varied. A large acreage will be
lready for the homemaker in the near
future. Three new towns have risen
as it by magic within the past few
years, affording openings for town
people. A branch railroad has been
extended to the limits of the project,
furnishing excellent transportation
| facilities.
Flu iaii information will will be supplied
upon request to the Statistician, Re-
clamation Service, Washington, d ). g.
