The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-08-15

The United States reclamation ser.
vice has laid the foundation of what
will be the highest dam in the world
near Yakima, Wash.
Hidden among natures gorgeous
setting of mountain and forest, divided
by canyons and streams. IS miles
north of here, in Tieton canyon, men
and machinery are changing the land
scape for the benefit of mankind.
Water for Irrigation.
Rimrock, where the great Tieton
dam is to grow into an enormous
purse, impounding. 02,500 acre-feet of
water to irrigate 100000 acres of dry.
arid land. rises a sheer rock against
the skyline, an apt name to the To-
cality. Here are machine shops, ware
houses, postoffice, recreation and din
ing halls and hospital where one of
Uncle Sans surgeons is always Oh
the watch to relieve accidents.
The dam, when it is finished, will
rise 430 feet above the present level
of the river water. making a lake ten
miles long and from one to three miles
wide. 1t is estimated it will take four
years to complete it at cost of over
$4,000, 600
The Tieton dam, when completed,
will be known as an earth and rock
fill type. 1t will have five-foot-thicl;
concrete core pinned into bedrock. Il
will require $4,000 cubic yards of con.
crete to make the core and more than
100000 cubic yards of earth and rock
to complete the fill. The base will ex.
tend up and down the canyon a hail

of water to discharge, which is three
times that OF any spillway in the
world. The gates to be used on the
dam are. the same pattern as those
which equip the Elephant Butte and
Arrowrock dams so effectively.
Land as far as so miles south will
receive water from this basin, and
crops to the value of millions can be
produced once the water is released.
This dam is simply a storage plant
for the Tieton project finished five
years ago, and in addition will water
the Mckee valley, 10000 acres; the
Rosa, 10000 acres, and the Kennewick,
$4,000 acres. The Tieton project, but
five years DID, and only $4,000 acres,
annually produces crops to the value
of more than 1000, 900.
