careful, expert work. They want to
do something that is quick and easy

COL. HARDEN GOES
 ID THE WILSON DAM
Change Made In Assign- ment of the Divisional En-
 gineer of Central Division

Jacksonville, Fla. August 26,-(speciaD Col. William J. Harden, corps of ensi- ners. |. S A., has been assigned to the construction on the Wilson dam at Flor ence. Ala, instead of the post as di- visional engineer of the central division, with headquarters in Cincinnati. and will leave next week to assume his new duties.
 Colonel Barden who has been stationed in Jacksonville for a year as United [ States district engineer. while on leave received orders to report to Cincinnati, | and was packing preparatory to making that move when he was called to Wash ington for conference by Lansing Il. Beach, major general chief of engineers. Colonel Barden stated that no reason was assigned for the change in orders. 1 However, during his term of service Colonel Barden has had charge of con- siderable dam work rivers in Ton nessee and Texas, and other southern states, and it is possible this had some bearing on the present appointment l The Wilson dam is being built mainly for the purpose of developing large water power, as well as to improve navigation in the river. It was started as war time measure primarily for the purpose | of developing nitrates.
 When completed the Wilson dam, II is said will be the biggest power dam in the world. The designs for this dam were prepared by Mir. Cooper of New ' ork, a civilian consulting engineer, who also utew pians TOT the heonuest dam on the Mississippi. l The Wilson dam was begun some time ago, and will probably require about two years more fer completion. There is a fund of about s10,0ooO00 now in hand for the work It is estimated when com pleted the cost fill be between SIS, 5,9Oo,"T and $20 GOO There are between 4,o-t and 5000 men employed in the work now the cost approximating $S750co per month
 This appointment carries with it greater responsibilities and will necesstate afr ferent living conditions. 1t will be nee essary for Colonel Barden to live at the dam.
 He will relieve Col. Lytle Brown. NC announcement has been made as to whc will be named In the central division, or
 where Colonel Brown is being trans ferred
