ing the hearing, and while Messrs. Nerland, Chase, Clegg and myself were present, made a plea to the committee to seat our opponents notwithstanding the merits of the case. His opposition arose by req son of the fact that it had been represented to him that MT Ar mold of Ketchikan, one of the dele gates to the Douglas Convention. had been in league with certain Republicans in Seattle who were opposed to MT. Burns and who favored a change in the State of Washington's representation on the National Committee. MT. Burns told me afterward that the op- position of these gentlemen to him had cost him several thousand dollars.
 Burns Tangie
 The belief in MT. ArilS-d's .si- legged opposition to MT, Burns seems to have been founded on state ments supposed to have been found in certain copies of letters which were in MT. Arnold's brief case which was stolen from him while he was at the Douglas Convention. Just what MT. Burns had, our delegation was not priviliged to know, for it was used behind our backs; and just why We should have been made the victims of a quarrel between two men in the State of Washington, a quarrel of which we had never even heard, We have not yet been able to de- termine. The National Committee seated the opposing delegation, which reelected MT. Rasmuson Ma tional Committeeman for Alaska. I have no quarrel with MT. Ras- muson; but I do feel that his statement before the Douglas Con

More Steel to be Welded
Riveted into Shackles

diameter hole upstream from the
control gates. Whereas the shall
rick has in the past been excavat
ed to a 32fOot circle, revised plans
call for 3O'8" bores from the Shaft
to the inlet portals of all four tun
nels.
Enlargement of tunnel no. 2 ha.
been completed to within a few
feet of its shafts. While waiting
for the excavators in the mair
shaft to come On down with theil
work, the steel forms for the con
crete lining are being reduced in
size so that the complete lining car
be placed at one time. The crews
of skilled mechanics on this alter.
alton werk are making rapid strides
toward completion of the job SO
they can move over into another
tunnel for a similar operation. In
fact, progress is SO satisfactory
that there will probably be only a
short delay before the equipment
moves forward into position for
the pouring of a thicker lining.
Progress of enlargement has been
quite gratifying during the past
week. During sevearl days, crews
at the headings excavated shale
and installed six ring beams per
heading in "a hour periods. A new
steel frame truck-ramp for the
narrow-gauge rails of the muck
cars is being set in place ahead of
the invert forms in No. 2 tunnel.
Since the slope will not be so steep
this will facilitate the climb of
the heavily loaded muck trains
for their crossing of the forms. FIRE.
Quent, exasperating derailments
be eliminated by the new
arrangement.
At the spillway. in addition to
the steady progress on channel ex-
cavation, the Massman forces have
opened up three deep trenches for
the placing of drain tiles. These
trenches are cut about 10 feet deep
into the solid shaIe and have sides
slightly from the vertical.
The new electric saws we're used
to make the side cuts and succeed
I'd in cutting to within one half
inch of line and grade. A p%ull.shov-
ell scooped out the loose shale.
Drain tile is now being laid in the
bottoms of these V.shaped trenches.
A back fill of clean gravel will
make an easy path for seepage wat
er, which may get under the con-
crete channel slab, to find its way
into the drainage system without
being able to wash away any of
the channel foundation material.
Addison Miller Inc. and Fielding
& Shepley Inc. are becoming &C.
tive at the gate structure of the
Spillway. Rough excavation work
has continued during the cold
weather. Concreting operations
will get under way as soon as the
temperature permits.

Still more steel will be rivetet
and welded into the shackle
which the Army Engineers arr
forging to bind the tremendous
forces of the Missouri River a
Fort Peck, Montana. Approximat
ly 14,7OO.O00 pounds of the bes1
boiler plate and structural bridge
steel obtaineble will be used fol
the penstock portion of No. l tun'
mel. This is in the 335O-foot dis
lance between the c%enterline O
the main control shaft and the face
of the outlet portal. 3113 feet O
which requires steel plate lining
The lining will be of one inch thick
plate starting at the shaft and will
increase by one-Sixteenth inch in
crements to a final one and one
fourth inch thickness at the outlet
end. The tube will be "a feet 8 in
ches finished inside diameter. Wat
er will flow through the smooth
steel pipe without additional snr-
facing material. The tube will be
made up of 1875 sections, 124 of
which will average rs feet in
length. Longi tndinal and circum-
ferential joints will be connected
by means of strap plates fixed
with u and one. eighth inch riv
cts. All seams will be welded on
the inside of the tube to insure wat
ertiehtness. Each section will be
held in true circular shape during
the handling period from the fab
ricatine plant to final position in
the tunndl by means of hoops roll
de from six inch H" beams. The
hoops will be welded to the out
side surface of each section.
A call for bids from contractors
has just been made for the fur,
nishlng and fabrication of this
large lot of steel tube. Bids will be
O Jened April 10th and work must
be started by the successful bidder
within IS days after receipt of no.
tice to proceed, and must be COM
pleted within $50 calander days.
Only the furnishing of the materials
and the fabrication of the 1926
pieces will be required from the
contractor. The work of installing
the sections inside the tunnel will
be done by the Government. Fab
rication of the sections will require
quite u large shop set-up, but
whether a rolling mill for the roll
ing of the plates and stlffener
beams will be erected at Fort Peck
or whether this work will be done
at a distance mill will not be
known until the bids are opened.
If the contractor elects to roll the
fiat materials here at the site, his
shop will probably be erected near
the top of the south retaining wall
at the outlet portals.
A new skyline" road is under
construction from the lomer port
ais to the upper portals of thu d.
version tunnels via the top of the
gate shafts. This will be above the
face of the dam al every point and
will be the permanent means OF
access from the top of the shafts
to the lower portals.
From q vantage point near the
shaft eate-house, visitors will be
able to get a most comprehensive
view of the project which is obtain

has been inaccessible to the public

Fire Siren Donated
Wheeler Installed Monday

The new fire siren which was
donated to the town by Joe Frazier
has arrived and was installed al
the bus depot Monday. The new
siren is a pip, and in no small way
is appreciated by everyone living
in Wheeler. 1t should be of great
value to everyone and we feel at
liberty to extend a vote of thanks
for the entire settlement to Mr.
Frazier.
The siren was tested out with
one long blast following the install.
lation Monday evening and was re.
ported as heard by everyone liv
ing here.
A meeting was held Monday
night for the purpose of electing
officers, that a permanent organ
ization might be accomplished,
Since Wheeler is an unincorpated
city the law pertaining to a fire
department and bylaws come
under the supervision of the county,
therefore certain legal matters
must be Strengthened up before
this can be accomplished. Follow

state law in regard to fire fighting
organizations:
