Joined to Power House Wall After
progressing Across the River
For Several Years Of
Titanic Work.
NINE-TENTHs OF A MILE
Ma ceremonies Attended the Compile
,ion Of the Great Undertaking
Of Spanning Mississippi
With Colossal Dam.

The last span of the greatest power
dam in the world, crossing the Mis-
sissippi river from the Illinois bluff to
iowa, was built today and the colossal
structure tied to the power house wall
with the placing of the last bucket Of
concrete which is intended to stand
there at least 5000 years. The only
ceremony attending this historic
event was the stacatto orders of the
how telephoning orders to the engi-
neer at the other end of the longest
cantileyer travelling crane in the
world: Down, no up!" and the last
bucket swung empty along the troll
lev above. Chief Engineer Cooper
has a horror of ceremony and fuss
and feathers, and spotlights and
speeches
For several years. the grea. con
crete dam structure has been pro-
crossing across the Mississippi for
nine-tenths of mile, a thirty-sir
foot span at time. 1t is unlike any
other dam and entirely different from
the ideas of a layman as to what a
dam looks like. This Goliath of dams
is really large bridge with massive
concrete spillways between the piers
These spillways, over which the wa
ter runs. are to be topped with steel
gates manipulation of which will
keep the water above the dam at a
constant level and provide eight fee,
depth for navigation for sixty-f1ve
miles up the Mississippi.
The spillways at both ends of the
dam are being built in now. but those
for considerable distance in the
middle of the river will not be bull
until later when the mammoth power
house, three times the size of the
next largest, is completed. The en-
tire installation develops 100000
