Rum Barrel Proves Bomb.

Warren Rhoads, farmer of Jackson wald, Pa, says hereafter he will care- fully examine would-be empty whisky barrels before he tries to alter the bungholes. He hastily came to this conclusion after one exploded when he attempted to enlarge the bunghole with red-hot poker. AS result of the explosion most of his hair was burned off and many cuts and bruises were inflicted by the barrel slaves as they flew skyward. Investigation proved that the barrel had been re- gently emptied, was still wet, and the red-hot iron formed so much gas in the inside that it burst open with a crash.
 It took several yards of court plaster to remodel Rhoads' arms and place his face in good shape.

AMERICA KEEPS WORLD
SUPPLIED WITH AUTOS

NEW YORK.-American manufac-
turers are now supplying the world
with automobiles. According to for
eign trade representatives they are
also creating such a favorable repu-
tatiOn for the products Of their en-
gineering and manufacturing skill asI
to ensure their permanent leadership
In foreign markets over the manu-
facturers OF other nations The gi-
gantic strides made by the motor We
hicle industry is strikingiy illustrated
by the record OF exports for the 12
months ending June 80, during which
period American manufacturers ex-
ported $3.50 motor cars, valued at
S6O,OO0,Q00, with parts valued at 81
100000, a total export valuation of
$67000,000 This represents an in
crease OF over 100 per cent compar-
ed to the sales OF the previous ~
months. While the greatest increase
has been in motor trucks TO European
countries, due to war orders yet pas
senger car exports also show a sub
stantial increase. Great Britain was
the American manufacturer best
customer last year taking over ten
thousand trucks and passenger cars.
France was the second best buyer,
prchasing half as many cars, while
the remainder of Europe purchased
nearly as many vehicles as the French
purchasers. The greater bulk Of the
cars sold moved through the port Of
New York, and June was the record
month for shipments, with figures Of
| 1900 trucks and passenger cars, val
ued at s13,O0O,OOO or nearly one
quarter Of the value Of the entire
years shipments, as the months
| achievements. In addition to sales
to Europe, American cars are being
shipped to Asia, Australia, South
American countries and Canada The
one hundred per cent increase in
foreign sales shows the efficient pro-
ductive capacity Of the American mo-
tor car builders, and the widespread
distribution of the sales to all quar-
ters Of the globe, the successful cul-
mination of the aggressive sales cam
paign carried on last year by the
manufacturers to secure a command
ing position in foreign markets.

for Dedication Of Great Engineering Work in Southern Idaho

10 to 10 feet deep and is carried
distance Of 900 feet around the dam,
cascading down the mountain side
into the river below. For extreme
flood waters the dam is so built as
to allow a flow Of four feet in depth
to rush over It without damage to the
structure.
Turning constantly, mixing and
kneading their two-ten charge Of con-
crete, double cone mixers churned for
four years to mix enough concrete to
fill the excavation for the dam and
raise It to It's present towering height.
A total of seven hundred thousand
cubic yards Of rock and dirt was ex-
cavated for both dam and spillway
and six hundred cubic yards of con-
crete were dumped into the dam,
Where II was possible great boulders
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1915-09-24

The dam was started four years
ago and completed over year
ahead Of time at a saving under the
estimates Of S2,5OO.0O0. The total
cost was five million dollars. Be-
hind it is impounded enough water
to flood the city Of Boston with eight
feet of water or 244.30O acre feet
If spread over 800 square miles it
would cover that area a foot deep
The reservoir so created is is miles
long bounded by mountains; the wa
ter is 200 feet deep This water, to-
gether with that in the Deer Flat
reservoir below will irrigate 100000
acres Of land in the Boise project, To-
Gated In western Idaho tributary to
Boise When used for irrigation pur-
poses the water is allowed to pass
from the outlets in the dam back

States, 1t would stand flush with the

l5-story edlfice; II It were put into
q column 10 feet square, 1t would

ting ability Of F. e. Weymouth, sup
ervislng engineer Of the Idaho dis
trict; Charles H. Paul, construction

A sand cement plant with a capac-
lty Of 1000 barrels per day Of "a.
hours or a total output Of 5s5,24O
barrels saved the government thou
sands Of dollars. Crushed granite
run through this plant and ground
with Portland cement was mixed 40
per cent sand from the granite and
55 per cent Portland cement, giving
better and stronger mixture than
pure cement. The mill was erected
below the dam. Granite from the
spilway excavation was passed to 1t
through a chute, run through rock
crusher and sand rolls, dryer and ball
mill and pulverised to pass a 20
mesh sieve Mixed later with Port
land cement it passed through a 200
mess Afterwards It was stored in
large covered bins and as needed was

blown by air pressure through tube
across the excavation to the mixers.
All sand cement passed a thorough
test before used. The plant is now
being dismantled.
Before the foundation was laid,
holes were drilled 80 to 40 feet into
the granite bed and grouted with pure
cement under air pressure to fill all
possible cFevices. These holes were
carried up into the dam together
with seepage test holes into the in
