GUARD LOCK
ANDCOFFERDAN
CONSTRUCTION

Work on the big guard lock at the
South Side mill designed and planned
by j. G. Jacobson, who is the engineer
in charge is progressing rapidly. A
crew of loo men under the general su-
perVision of G. w. Shearier is busy
With the different kinds of work that
are going on. R. Payne has charge
Of the excavation work.
A Golfer dam, that is so well con-
structed that what little leakage
there is can be handled by an ordi-
nary pump, protects the work of exca-
waiting and building. The guard lock
will be the best on the river when con
pleted. 1t is. 45O feet long and will
be 20 feet high from floor of lock to
the top. The guard lock projects
straight out from the river bank for
almost its entire length then makes al
angle of about 45 degrees to the north
east and connects with the dam. The
two sJuices in the extreme outer end
of the dam will be 20 feet deep and
Is feet wide. The distance between
piers is 16 feet. The five gates in
the guard lock viii be Il feet wide
and 10 feet deep and made of steel.
The tips of the piers pointing up
stream are covered with a steel cap
that is placed in position before the
concrete is poured in the frames.
This steel cap will protect the piers
from ice and drift.
Six and one-half feet below the
top Of the guard lock ON the up strSaI
side is a six foot cement walk which
will be used by the rakers in pulling
drift wood, etc, from in front OF the
rack. The top of the guard lock will
be concrete and will be II feet wide.
The river bed in front of the old
wheel pits is being cleaned out. A
clam shell shovel loads three, one
and one-hak yard cars and these
cars are pulled to the top of the
bank by steel cable that is worked
by a hosting engine. The cars are
run out ON a track along the river
bank and dumped. There are two
trains Of these cars. One train be-
ing loaded while the other is being
unloaded. A fill of considerable a.
rea has already been made from the
dirt excayated in this manner. The
dirt that is being excavated from in
front of the guard lock is. being
carried out and dumped directly in
front Of where the sluices will empty
into the river. Dumping in this
place makes a short haul Of the Load
ed cars and when the work is com
pleted the sluice gates will be o.
pened and the water will wash this
accumulation Of dirt down the riY-
er. Al Nelson is working on the
dump train and they say down on
the work that Al puts them over"
in the right spot every time.
Work started Monday morning on
another Golfer dam. This new cof-
fer dam will be used on the south
erly side of the old wheel pits In
the tail race. A generating plant
will be built in this spot between
the old beater room and grinding
room. This plant will be equipped
with verticIe wheels with horizontal
generators attached. The electric
power thus generated will be used
in the old grinding mill What will
be done with the surplus power
has not yet been divulged.

Watch Buying
cAdv1ce

Intelligent watch-buying
requires judgment on your
\ part in two things, the case
and the works.
! These two items that con-
stitute a watch are obtained
/ by the jeweler from two
factories that are unrelated.
The works are fitted into
the cases by the jeweler and
the price of the completed
| watch depends on the cost
OF the two.
/ Thus, you can buy a very
fine case containing cheap
movement, and think you
are getting a bargain, or
you may buy a cheap case
containing fine movement
and be deceived again.
1t is the proper combin-
alton of the two that makes
the watch of worth.
