GIANT DAM RIVALS NIAGARA
Mammoth Structure in the Tennessee

power Estimated at $4,000.

Knoxville. Tenn.-SurpaSSed only by
the Roosevelt dam and Niagara fails,
and the largest dam east of the RooSe-
Welt dam. is the mammoth new dam
lust completed at Cheoah, in the noun
tains AZ miles south of Knoxville.
Twelve hundred men worked over
two years on it. Two hundred thou
sand cubic yards of concrete were
used. 1t is 30 feet high from surface
of river to crest. 1t raises mist 100
feet high as its water strikes the river
after flowing over the top. 1t Is 800
feet long at the base, 725 feet long at
the top. 1T5 feet thick at the base and
II feet thick at the top. Six days were
required to fill the lake behind it,
which is ten miles long; engineers had
figured on y days, but a heavy rain
helped. 1t will produce 1900 units
more of horsepower than the combined
conSumption of Knoxville, Memphis,
Chattanooga and Nashville, or over
so 900 horsepower. Ii is almost iden-
teal with the Roosevelt dam in the
West. The cost was over S1,OOO0OO.
Another dam will also be built in that
region. Ii was built by and for the
Knoxville Power company. an ally of
the Aluminium Company of America.

JACOB d. LUCHSINGER
OF SURREY is DEAD
Death Claims One of the Pioneer
Farmers Who Had Been iii for
Long Time From Diabetes

Jacob ID. Luchsinger was born in
county Glarus, Switzerland, January
~, 1866, died Sunday, April 20, 1919.
In 1872 he moved with his parents and
two younger brothers to Humboldt,
Iowa, residing for two years there and
then moving to Fort Dodge, Iowa,
where he lived for four years, when
the death Of his mother necessitated
his returning to Humboldt.
He rented farm, soon after and
later becoming acquainted with Dore-
tina G. Myers, the two young people
were married July IL, 1880.
The first two years of their mar
ried life were spent on the farm
which he had rented when he purchas-
ed farm of eighty acres in Kossuth
county, later buying an adjoining
eighty. Here the Luchsingers re-
sided for % years. In the spring of
1902 he moved to- homestead two
and one-half miles northeast of Sur
rev. In the spring of 1909 he sold
the homestead and bought farm one
half mile east of Surrey where he
built a fine farm home in which he
lived up to the time of his death.
Seven sons and three daughters
were born to Mr.. and Mrs. Luchsing-
err, four of whom have preceded the
parent to the Great Beyond.
A faithful and loving wife and one
daughter and five sons are left to
mourn the loss of kind father. The
sons are Jacob L., Paul c., and J. A.
Luchsinger, all of whom reside near
Surrey; c. H. of Parshall; George
W. at Ryder, and Ruth L., who lives
at Surrey. Two brothers, Matthew
Luchsinger of Luverne Iowa and Hen
ry Luchsinger of Valley Junction, Ia,
survive their brother and We're pre-
sent at the funeral.
The deceased leaves eleven grand
children. He was a faithful men,
Der of the Nazerene church, kind,
loving husband and father and was
loved by all who knew him. He was
a very self sacrificing man always
thinking OF others before himself.
Mr.. Luchsinger had been ailing for
some years but until last fall he was
able to carry on his usual duties
about the farm and was reluctant to
give up, however, few weeks ago, he
became suddenly worse and gradually
grew weaker until the end. The in
direct cause of his death was dia-
betes.
Elder d. T. Dierdorff read the 9th
Psalm and led in prayer. Rev. w. NJ
Irwin preached very comforting SER
mon taking for his text 1st Corinth-
ians 13.
The sorrowing wife and children
extend their heartfelt thanks to the
kind friends and neighbors who so
kindly assisted them in this, their
hour of bereavement.
