this Dam TO BE

u. S. Reclamation Service
: Planning to Harness

ITS HEIGHT TO
BE 500 FEET

WAsHINGTON.-The highest dam
in the world. to join the States OF
Nevada and Arizona and harness tur-
.bulent waters Of the Colorado river
Tor extended irrigation in the south
west. is to be constructed in the near
future by the United States Recla-
nation Service.
The dam, according TO tentative
plans. would rise to the unprece-
dented height Of 500 or 500 feet i'm
Boulder Canyon. where granite abut-
.ments rise more than 1000 feet
above the water surface Engineers
Of the Reclamation Service. afloat on
.bargcs. are now boring for bedrock
beneath.
A lake varying from 80 to so miles
an length would be backed up in the
Colorado and Virgin rivers. and in
this basin would be held in check for
Irrigation the drainage from almost
the entire Colorado river basin, in
cluding parts Of six States.
. The proposed structure would be
higher by far than the worlds high
est dam at present-Arrowrock Dam,
on tho Boise river. Idaho, which
measures 34S feet-and would top
= other famous dams IN the United
States. among the highest Of which
are Shoshone. on the Shoshone river
I wyoming. 32S feet; Elephant Butte
on the Rio Grande. New Mexico. 800
feet. and Roosevelt, on the Salt river
/ Arizona. 2sO feet.
Preliminary work on the Boulder
Canyon project is being done under
authority Of Congress. which appro-
priated $4,000 for investigation. An
additional $4,000 was contributed
by local irr.gators. Engineers have
located a site and are making bor-
Sings for foundations. While these
are incomplete. bedrock has been To-
Gated az number OF points and the
Aoutlook is favorable, according "a
Arthur L. Davis, director OF the
Reclamation Service.
Tho Boulder Canyon Dam project
located below the Grand Canyon
near Las Vegas. New, where engi'
neers are now boring, is the most ad-
vantageous position OF the projected
tstes. according 10 the preliminary
report made 10 Congress by the Rec
lamation Service. A dam there
'swould intercept most OF the drain
age of the Colorado river and there
Gore be more complete solution Of
ne nood-cotrol problem" the repor
says such a reservoir would als'
be more valuable in the irrigation o
lands on the lower river on account
OF the greater proximity TO them anc

ing It's flow more nearly In accord
ance with the huctuating needs. In

Cross Country
Test Is Plan

Unusual interest attached itself
to the plans Of the War Depart
ment to send the big diriglble
Roma across the Appalachians In
to Ohio on a cross-country test
flight.
Italian government IN Rome.
Italy and purchased by the uni
ted States government after the
armistice. 1t Is the largest fly
ing ship in America
1t has a length over all Of 41s
feet and carries 100000 cubic
feet OF hydrogen gas. It is about
the size of the Zeppelins that Ger
many used in the London raids
but not quite so large as the
R-34 which crossed the Atlantic.
The Roma, after flying In Italy
was dismantled and sent to this
country and assembled at Langley
Field, Virginia.
There are only five hangers in
the United States at the present
time largo enough TO accommo-
date the hip. One OF these Is at
Wingfoot Lake Air Station,
Akron. Wingtoot Lake hangar is
400 feet long so that tho nose OF
the ship will project out Of the
door a little ways.
The Roma carries $500 gallons
OF gasoline and can make about 20
to 10 miles an hour. II IS at
present equipped with six $50
horse power motors of Italian
make but 1t Is planned to replace
these with Liberty motors which
will give It a greater cruising rad
ius. With the Liberty motors the
ship is BILE TO fly 5000 miles
without landing.
Wingfoot Lake field was laid
out by The Goodyear Tire & Rub
her Co. shortly before the war and
tho hangar built for the assembly
aud housing OF kite balloons, free
balloons and dIrigibles. a great
many OF which have been built by
the Goodyear company for the
government.
Some 500 naval aviation Off
GERS were trained at Wingtoot
Lake station during tho war.
The time OF the flight from
Langley Field to Akron has not
been definitely set but the army
men are expecting to make the
trip around the middle of Dec
ember. The people of Akron are
making extensive plans to vel
come the big ariship upon its ar
rival into the city.
