margin will be less than 500 either
way, and as returns show consider
able differences in the votes given dif-

Upon the good women of Hermis-

election at Hermiston coming eight
days earlier than the city election at
Astoria which has been exploited as
the first occasion on which Oregon
women will vote. The Hermiston cleo

the Astoria election is set for De-

members of the city council and the

Reeves, editor of the Hermiston Her

Reeves, their new duties are not

Will have to register the new voters
before they can cast their ballots 1t
will be impossible for the registration
books to be opened until after the

Therefore it is possible the city re-
corder will have to do some heavy
work within a limited time in order
to get the female voters registered in
time for the city election.

WORLDS HIGHEST DAM.

The highest dam in all the world
is to be built by the United States
government in Boise Canyon, Idaho.
This dam, which will be located about
twenty miles above the city of Boise,
will be 351 feet high, twenty-five feet
wide at the top and 1860 feet long.
This wonderful dam will be thrown
across a narrow place in the high can
yon and will hold back enough water
to irrigate 250,000 acres of desert land
1t will take three or four years to
construct the masonry. Bed rock has
been found at a depth of 90 feet be-
low the surface of the river and when
the dam is completed the structure
will occupy an acre of ground.
1t is only by storing the flood water
in such dry sections of this country
that the desert land can be reclaimed
and made to grow its share of crops.
When this dam is completed the wa
ter will be drawn off into feeder ca
mails through gates located near the
top of the dam. AS the level of the
water is lowered the gates lower in
the dam will be opened, so that the
gates will never be operated under
an excessive head of water. The wa
ter pressure will be enormous but
modern hydraulic engineering is ca
'pable Of handling such a giant task.
Even should the Boise river be visited
by a great flood it will not destroy
this dam. Spillways located at each
end Of the dam will carry away 40,-
900 cubic feet of water a second and,
If necessary, water can run over the
face of the dam itself to a depth Of
from two to four feet without injur-
ing the structure itself
But water is of little value unless
it can be applied direct to the parch-
ed earth and not in every case can
it be handled by gravity alone. Ger
tain sections around Boise can be ir-
rIgated by a canal system depending
upon the natural flow of the water,
but all the higher levels must be fed
by an elaborate pumping system.
These pumps Will be operated by cleo
