forward deck, and they who are to
assist take positions at intervals
along the deck. Each man holds
several fathoms of the lead line
corded in his hand. At pre-
arranged signal the leadsman for
ward heaves the lead, and each
man in turn lets go of his coil as
he feels the pull of the lead. As
soon as the lead strikes bottom the
line is drawn taut and the depth
called off as already explained.
Heaving the deep-sea lead by hand
is gradually becoming thing of
the past, as nearly all ships are
now equipped with sounding ma
chimes.
There are several types of
sounding machines in use. but the
one most favored is known as the
Lord Kelvin Sounding Machine"
This machine consists of drum
twelve inches in diameter and four
inches wide, on which about three
hundred fathoms of steel piano.
forte wire are tightly wound. To
the wire is attached nine feet Of
log line, and to this there is
fastened a heavy sinker. On the
log line between the wire and
sinker a small copper tube is
fastened, the lower end of which
is perforated, the upper end
being opened and shut at will by
means of a close fitting cap.
When a sounding is to be made
the copper tube contains a small
glass tube; the glass tube is open
at its bottom end, while the upper
end is hermetically sealed. The
interior of the glass tube is coated
with a chemical preparation known
as chromate of silver, which gives
the glass a light salmon color.
The drum is filled with a break
which, on cast being taken, con-
trolls it's speed and ultimately ar
rests it when the lead touches bot
tom. A pair of small winch
handles wind up the wire again,
and the depth is indicated by the
height of discoloration in the glass
tube. The water is forced up into
the glass as it descends. and the
chemical action of the salt in the
water turns the salmon color to a
milky white. The chemical formed
by this action is known as chloride
of silver. The junction of these
two colors is applied to lockwood
scale and the depth to which the
glass descended is then read.
Another instrument sometimes
used instead of the tube and chemi-
Gals. is called the depth recorder"
The depth recorder is attached to
wire and sinker in the same way in
which the chemical tube is fas-
tened. Instead of chemicals being
used to register the depth to which
the instrument descends, the depth
recorder is equipped with piston
to which a spiral spring is at
tached. As the recorder is drawn
down by the sinker the water pres
sure forces the piston upward,
while the spring tends to draw it
down. In moving upward, the
piston carries with it marker
that moves over the face of the
scale. When the instrument is
drawn up to the surface the piston
returns to it's original position,
while the marker remains at the
point to which it was moved by
the piston. The depth is read from
the scale and, by turning a screw,
the marker drops back to the zero
point on the scale.
In operating the sounding ma
chine, two men and an officer are
employed. One men is called the
leadsman, the other is the brake
man. When cast is to be taken
the leadsman leads the wire out

SUIT AGAINST THE
STATE LANDBOARD
Action Instituted in the Fed
eral Court by Twin Falls
& Salmon River Land &
Water Company.

AS a sequel to the continued refusal
land board to pass upon the compile
ton of the construction works of the
Salmon River project, G. NJ Hall of
HOLSTER, general manager of the Twin
Falls Salmon River Land & Water
company, late Saturday afternoon filed
Il suit in equity in the federal court, in
behalf of the company which built the
torney general, secretary of state,
auditor and superintendent of public
instruction as members of the land
board, praying that they be ordered
to accept the works as completed in
accordance with the contract between
the state and the construction COM
pany, or to state in what particular
specifications and present require
ments.
i In the complaint is cited the APP
prevail of the plan of reclamation, the
water supply and the plans and speci-
fications for the dam, canals and
structures by former state engineer
and land board and it is claimed the
works are completed and should be
accepted and formally turned over to
| the Salmon River Canal company, the
operating company in charge and con-
| troll of the system, thus relieving the
construction company of further re-
sponsibility for the construction fea-
| lures.

ditors office for several days assisting
