The New Dam.

Mr.. Talmadge has been in consulta-
tion with Mr.. Rosecrans, chief engi-
neer of the Canyon canal, in regard to
the type of dam to be constructed
Mr.. Rosecrans recommends that the
old dam be not removed. but that a
concrete wall be built across the riv-
er in front of the old dam and resting
on the present brush foundation, and
that from this wall cement cover
ing be placed over the entire old dam,
so as to completely enclose it. He
also recommends that cribs be built
on the south bank of the river below
the dam so as to protect the south
approaches. He contends that it
would jeopardize the interests of the
settlers under the canal to tear out
the old dam, and would accomplish no
useful purpose, as the old structure
is perfectly safe. The covering of
the dam with cement, however, would
make it stronger and prolong its life
indefinitely.
The acceptance of Mr.. Rosecrans'
recommendations will be up to the ir-
rigation district directors and the
state engineer. According to the con-
tract, the complete plans must be filed
with the district on or before August /
l, and with the state engineer on or
before September 1.
