IS GREAT UNDERTAKING

January l. 1914, is the date set by
tho officials Of the Utah Power &
Light company for the first electric
power from the new electric power
plant on Bear river at Grace, Idaho:
now under erection as an important
unit in the company's plans for devel-
oping many thousand horsepower Of
electrical energy along this river for
distribution in southern Idaho and
Utah.
Advices received yesterday from
Grace at the general offices of the
company here. indicate that the con-
struction work on the new pipe line
may be finished shortly before Janu'
ary ]. This new pipe line, eleven feet
n diameter, aud running from point
farther up the river $4,000 feet across
land TO the plant, Will deliver water
10 the turbines OF the power house.
With tie steel work nearing corr
ing through the high girders of the
superstructure, while tho concrete
gangs loo feet below spread the great
dippers Of material that are swung
down to them from the mixers, the new
plant is rapidly assuming shape.
Description of Plant.
Grace is sixty-sevcn miles down Bear
river from the junction of the new
Rainbow canal and Bear river just
north OF Bear lake, in Idaho. and the
cid and new power houses at Grace
will he the first two plants on Bear
river below the Rainbow canal.
Just before the river reaches the
site of the two plants, it takes big
bend 10 the north. Water for the tur-
bipes Of both plants is carried across
land $4,000 feet through wood stave
pipes. and after being sent through
he turbines this water escapes again
into the river. the two power houses
being located on the river bank.
The new power house will develop
-. .000 horsepower of electrical energy.
The power house proper is fifty seven
feet above ground. and the excavation
Tor the turbines and other equipment
run 10 depth of thirty-sevcn feet be-
low ground, The power house will be
forty-fjve feet vide and 1876 feet long.
More than 1000 cubic yards Of cxca-
vating was necessary for the power
house proper. and over $4,000 cubic
Yards of material were eXcavated in
constructing the tail race. More than
5000 cubic wards of concrete went into
the foundations for the plant; and some
of the heaviest electrical machinery
ever shipped 10 Idaho is being installed.
The rotors of the generators weigh
thirty tons each and tue ira nsformers
fifty tons apiece. Specially built, cleo
tricallv operated steel cranes. working
from girders IN the ceiling of the
power plant. viii handle these huge
pieces of equipment.

Big Construction Problem.

The excavation for the tail race and
for the, foundations of the new power
house, taken in conjunction with the
other work that has followed, presented
4 good deal OF q construction problem
for the company.
a small area existed from which a
very large amount of material had to
De excayated and an extremely heavy
tonnage OF concrete installed, while a
big force OF men had to be worked
night and day, with a time limit set
on the work that necessitated forced
speed.
Rocky ground was encountered in
all the eXcavnting work, and IN digging
the tail race boulders weighing eight
tons have been handled. Derricis were
used TO carry the material from the
excavations. The new power house ad-
joins the present plant and one Of the
most tickiish phases of the work was
e1eavating thirtyfive feet down the
side Of the old power house building
without endangering the foundations
Of the latter. The work was success
fully accomplished, however, and the
operation OF the heavy generating ma
chinery In the old plant was not dis
turbed.
The main walls, below ground, of the
new power house are twelve feet thick
at their base, and taper TO a thickness
Of four feet and four inches. The
deepest portion of the power house is
underlaid by concrete mat three feet
thick, and the concrete work forming
the subteTranean chambers Of the
plant are equipped with emergency
passagewnys for water in case abnor.

WHAT IS THE MATTER
WITH THE WATER?
(By l.. NJ. Hewit.)

To answer the question in the short
est possible way, we say, it has no
business head. Never in the history
of Bryan was so much water pumped
into its mains as in July. 1913. Over
five million gallons, yet customers
with meters are using no more than
usual in most cases, and we know of
numbers where they used less on ac-
count of the low pressure. The cry
has been put out that the wells are
failing, but the facts as recorded show
otherwise. In May, 1913, the mains
received 3,070,465 gallons of water.
The customers paid $742.70 for the
same. In June, 1918, the mains re-
ceived 4,453,S16 gallons and the Gus
toners paid $922.15 for the same, or
1,3S3,951 gallons cost the city s172.s2
and it received S179.45, when it should
have received s55335. Why is it? A
system which makes it possible for
the city to irrigate large gardens and
lawns using thousands of gallons of
water daily at the very liberal rate
of 81 per month. A meter gets out of
repair and the customer is put on
minimum rate rather than repair the
meter. That customer at once starts
an irrigation plant and the city furn-
ishes about 81 worth of water per day
at 81 per month. The question is,
who is responsible for this condition?
No one. The mayor is employed from
s a. m. to p. m. and cannot be ex-

pected to look after these affairs. The
councilmen are busy with their own
affairs and cannot be expected to run
the city's business at the sacrifice Of
their own. They employ a plumber
who cannot be expected to undertake

remedy? The same as every busi-
mess enterprise, business manager.
One man says water superintendent,
AN electrician for the light plant, q
plumber for the sewer plant, a super
visor for the streets, but every prac-
tical business man says, business
manager for the city. A practical city
business manager would easily save
enough from the leaks to pay lib
eral salary and pave main street with
the salvage. Now for the remedy. A
special charter for the city. How OBJ

ortolans ae Food.

The ortolan, bird smaller than our

French epicures, for the delicate ha-
yor Of its flesh. These birds are net
ted alive, kept In dark place and fed
on millet, oats and other seeds until
they become enormously fat, when
they are killed for the table, This
artificial fattening Of the ortolan dates
back to ancient days of Rome. A
Partisan paper tells Of financier who
invited four friends to n dinner at
his country place and sent to Paris to
a famous restaurateur to provide a

Where the Pins Co To.

For many years the world has been
baffled by the problem of where the
pins go that are turned out In mil
lions of millions by the pin factories.
But the problem seems to have
been solved at last. A Paris scientist,
DR.. Xavier, has been experimenting
on pins, hairpins and needles by the
simple process of watching few.
He states that they practically dis
appear into thin air, by changing into
ferrous oxide, brownish rust that
soon blows away In dust.
An ordinary hairpin took only 1854
days to blow away, A steel nib lasted
Just under Is months. A common pin
took Is months to vanish. A polished
steel needle defed the ravages of tho
atmosphere longest, taking two and o.
half years to disappear.
So the reason why the world is not
foot deep in the pins it buys is, 1t
seems, exactly the same which makes
an iron surface scale off when exposed
for a long time to the atmosphere
without the protection of paint.
