big PIECE Of ENG|-
NEERING AND
CONCRETE WORK
Messrs. L. A. DeGuere, Hydraulic Engineer, and
Vim. and Louie UIe, Contractors, have
Accomplished CreditabIe Job

The Consolidated Pulp & Water Pow
er Paper Co., of Grand Rapids erect
ed their mill and dam on the Wiscon-
sin river at this point in 1901. This
dam spanning the Wisconsin river is
about 1000 feet in length, with a 81
fit. head. At that time only part of
this dam was of stone construction.
The rest of it consisted oftimber and
stone construction known as crib
work. This dam and mill have been
in constant use since that time.
The company decided to make the
entire dam of modern reinforced con-
crete construction. Part of this work
has been accomplished thus far this
year. L. A. DeGuere, hydraulic en-
gineer and architect, who has been a
resident of Grand Rapids for the past
eleven years and has sustained a suite
of offices and corps of assistants in
this city ever since. He was engaged
by the Consolidated Pulp & Water
Power Co., to have charge of the i'm
provements to be made in the recon
struction of part of this dam. VIM.
Ule of Stevens Point, was engaged as
general superintendent of this con-
templated improvement assisted by
his brother Louis Ule who resides in
this city.
About four months ago work was
started of rebuilding the entire east
end of the Consolidated Dam, consist
ing of the erection of 256 feet in
length. This is made up Of six piers
that are #. wide, and "a feet long
and average SO fit. high. One pier is
6 fit. wide. There are 6 gates each "a
feet long and II feet high. The W.T..
of each gate is s tons. The retaining
wall adjoining the new wall on the east
end is so feet long, making a total of
the new concrete work of 306 feet.
In putting in the new work the en-
gineer made use Of the old dam as a
Golfer dam and built this new dam a
butting on the old dam on the
lower side. This construction was at
tended with several serious difficulties

At the palatial residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Isaac P. Witter last evening was
held the first of three programs of the
Artists recital series for the coming
year. A large and appreciative audi
ence greeted the artists who were Ce-
Gil Tanning, concert baritone with H.
B. Turpin at the piano. Mr.. Tanning
presented program of variety and in
terest which very much pleased his
audience, and they evidenced their ap-
proval by demanding repeated encores.

The greater one, the engineers had to
overcome was large bowl like condi-
ton in the bed of the Wisconsin river
just below the present dam. This hol-
low was about 100 feet in diameter
and about Is feet deep. To fill this
with concrete it was necessary to e.
rect a Golfer dam below it and pump
the water out so as to establish a con-
crete foundation upon which the large
number of piers and concrete walls
could have foundation. This work
was the most difficult to perform. It
was accomplished in fine shape and an
extraordinary strong foundation was
erected.
All the concrete work is completed
and those in charge are now waiting
for the arrival of the large ton gates.
When they will be installed and the
crib work of the old dam reduced below
the water level. This piece of engin-
eering is considered one of the most
substantial and difficult that has been
accomplished in the Northwest 1t
is the further intention of the Consoli-
dated Co., to reduce the crib work con-
struction adjoining the retaining walls
at the mill on the west end of the dam
so that the entire length from retain
ing wall to present spill will be uni
form in heighth and construction, do
ing away with the twelve small gates.
The entire improvements to be in
stalled before spring in this dam will
cost the company in the neighborhod
of 100000.
When entirely completed it will
be one of the most substantial rein
forced concrete dam construction of
any similar dam in this locality
With these improved conditions in
the dam, Oliver Trudell, who has
charge of it will be better able to con-
troll the flow of water in times of high
water because the ten large gates in
the east end of the dam will be easily
handled by electricity. This will mean
great deal to the company by remov-
ing any difficulty in the easy handling
of high water conditions.
