Reduced dosage is the secret of

Wafer Purifier
Completely New
PART Of System
Desilting Works Vital Part of Huge
All American Canal Project;
Operation Explained

One unknown factor" stands out as
the only really new and untried part of
the all American canal system. 1t is the
desilting works, one of the vital links in
the chain that will bring clear water to
Imperial Valley farms.
The Colorado River rivals the Mis-
sissippi in deserving the title of Big
Muddy. Due to its rapid rate of flow the
river can carry, suspended, a vast amount
of silt. Almost one per cent of its bulk
is made up of fine earth. When such water
is shunted into canal system the rate of
current drops and much of the silt settles
to the bottom necessitating costly canal
dredging operations.
For this reason the All American canal
must have huge, complicated desilting
works to remove 78 per cent of the silt
and provide clear water for the canal
Dams have been built before, many
much larger and thousands much smaller
than Imperial Dam. Irrigation canals also
have been built before, though not on such
a scale as the All American canal But no
where on the face of the earth, never i'll
the history of man has a water purifying
plant ever been built even approaching the
size of the All American desiting works.
Directly below, almost adjoining I'M
perial Dam, six huge settling basins are
in pairs, are each 789 feet long, 269 feet
wide with a depth of IA feet.
The main channel from Imperial Dam,
controlled by head gates, will send water
down four smaller channels each con-
trolled by separate gates, three of which
pour water through influent channels into
the basins. The fourth carries water
around the basins, directly into the out
flow channel. The small channels are
separated by timber sheet-piling walls
Once inside the desilting basins the
water slows its pace, the silt drifts to the
bottom and clear water oyerflows on the
other side of the basin into an outflow
channel leading to the All American canal.
Because of the vast scale of desilting
operations necessary, engineers pushed
aside all old methods of desilting when
they planned the All American and adopt
ed a radically new principle-mechanic

Giant Floating
Structure Will
Divert Waters
Imperial Dam Will Shunt River Into
Desilting Basins Prior To
Delivery Into Canal
BY LOGAN III. JENKINS

IMPERIAL DAM SITE-A giant, hol-
low structure, "floating' on Colorado
river mud, will mark the headwaters of
the All American canal.
Vital chapter in the vests new history.
Imperial dam will form glistening white
barrier across the tawny Colorado ap-
proXimately 20 miles above Yuma and five
miles above Laguna Dam, the present div
crSlOn point of the Yuma canal
The chief purpose of Imperial Dam is
diversion. Leagues up-river, Boulder Dam
and Mead Lake already have tanned the
Colorado river, made its wild rampages
a terror of the past and insured constant
flow of water. A structure now is needed
to Shunt a portion of the flow from the
river and send it down the 80 miles of All
American canal to the thirsty farms of
Imperial Valley This task, Imperial Dam
will perform.
Sill Extraction
In addition, however, the dam will be
the scene for a number of other important
functions. The job of extracting silt from
the river water logically centers here Just
below the dam proper will be located the
intricate deslting works, giant basins with
mechanical Scrapers that will make it pos
Sible to send clear fresh water into the
canal.
The dam itself will be monster, nearly
half a mile long. With one end in Califor-
MIA and the other in Arizona it will extend
a total of 2990 feet over all. This does
not include the 470-foot rock-fill dixie on
the Arizona side.
Generally speaking, the dam will be
divided into three distinct sections: the
headworks for the All American canal,
the overflow section, and the headgates for
the Gila diversion. On the California side
will be located the ponderous headgates
for the canal and desilting works and out
lets for the sluiceway channel. The Ari-
zona side also will have headgates allow
ing a flow of water down the Gila canal
and sluiceWay. Between the two end dvi-
sions will be 1900 foot spllWay over
which excess water can flow and continue
down the river.
The overflow section will be, in effect,
a monster hollow tube, 81 feet high from
foundation to crest, and much wider at
the bottom than at the top. Inside, power
full buttresses will act as ribs fortifyng
the walls. Each buttress will be two feet

bouts here. Ernie takes on a vet
eran of many mat campaigns when
he tackles Marvin.
Leo Numa, 218, Seattle, and Jack
Kennedy, 215, Minneapolis, grip in
the main go, which is a return bout.
Kennedy broke Leo's winning streak
here last Tuesday by grabbing the
third and deciding fall in hard

tenth triumph in eleven local bouts.
A pair of big fellows open the
card. They are Big Boy Davis, 239,
