Mir, Da' wis has been in the government ser. vice for thirty years and with the re- clamatiou service ever since it was organized in 1902 He was called here 10 consult with the engineering de partment or the Alaska.Gastineau Mining company over the construc' ton of the great impounding dam a' the upper basin of Salmon creek. Yes trrday Alr. Davis was out to look over the work that is now under way on the great undertaking. Tt will be very safe dam" said Mir. Davis. the foun- dation is admiramle. It can be built with high degree of economy, and il offers a remarkably fine opportunity for developing power. It has a fall Of l,l7O feet in a very short distance and there will be l7OOO acres of wa ter impounded when the reservoir IS filled. This will insure a constant de livery of 5000 horsepower of electri cal energy, through the use of the two power stations one of which is situ ated on the beach and which will use The wafer over again."
 Compared with other large dams the salmon creek structure is not of great magnitude. The Roosevelt dam which Mir. Davis built is 29O feet high and ot masonry. The highest dam in the re c,amation service is the Shoshone dan in Wyoming -&2S feet It is built o concrete. The service is now build ing a great dam on the Boise river that is to be $50 feet high. of masonry another on the Rio Grande in New Mex ico 300 feet high; another on the Car son river. Nevada, lIO feet high anC one in Nebraska 90 feet high.
 This is Mir. Davis first trip to Alas ka.
