GREAT IRRIGATION DAM
Delegates to Irrigation Congress at
Calgary in October VIII Witness
Great Engineering Work.

CALGARY, Alta, June 16.-One oi
the gigantic engineering feats of the
age is the irrigation congress to be
held in Calgary, Oct to 8, will be
given an opportunity of seeing. Apart
| from the business of the convention
itself, there can be nothing more in
teresting than to witness the actual
work of irrigation, and nowhere on the
continent can it be seen on such a
large scale as some eighty miles east
of the convention city.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
project at Bassano can be gathered
from the fact that the construction
work alone took three years to com
plete. The length between abut-
ments is 720 feet. The earthen en-
bankment is some 1000 feet in length,
extending from the south end of the
spillway until it meets with the slop-
ing ground running down to the river
The embankment contains NIL
lion cubic yards of earth, and at its
highest point has base $50 feet wide
The spillway contains some 10000 Gu
bic yards of concrete, and two and a
half million pounds of reinforcing
steel. The dam has elevated the wat
ers of the river forty-six feet, so that
$500 miles of canals may be fed from
the accumulated supply.
The project embraces over 100000
acres. The Bassano dam was con-
structed for the purpose of irrigating
containing 1,156,244 acres. Of this
440, 0,000acres will be rendered irriga-
BILE by the work recently opned by
the president of the Canadian Pacific
railway, Sir Thomas Shaughnessy.
This land is rapidly being taken up by
settlers who recognize the value of ir-
rigation to the full. A practical test
is being made of the value of irriga-
ton in this district this year as the
rainfall there here been below the nor
NAL. i,a..-
The Bassano dam is the largest of its
kind on the North American continent,
and the second largest in the world.
1t has required the construction of
thousands of subsidiary structures,
such as drops, headgates, fumes, 81
phons, bridges, etc. The earth remov-
ed amounted to over twenty millions
Of cubic yards.

important matters to be considered
by the board of trustees Of the William
