worlds largest masonry structure
Grand Coulee Dam.
The 1856, 100000 barrier in Cen

ling for completion of a $63.00O,-
900 Foundation" dam, will be

Spokane Washington.
When completed, the dam will
rise $50 feet above bedrock. be
nearly mile long and back water
$50 miles upstream, almost to the
Canadian line. Ultimately 1,20O,-
900 acres will be brought under
trrigation. However, construction
of a reservoir in the Grand Coulee
and canals to feed THE vast ter
ritory will be handled by separate
contracts. These cannot he let,
Page said, until Washington rat
ifies congressional act outlawing
land speculation and water dis
trict is formed and repayment con-
tracts signed.
May Be New Contractor
Page said it is possible new
contractor may take over CON-
pletion of the dam.
Anticipating such a situation the
M1VAK company, present contrac-
ter. stipulated lii its agreement
with the reclamation bureau that
its camp and fixed equipment
could be purchased at fixed price.
The new contract, Page said,
will contains provisions which will
permit the department of labor

Tractor.
The dam at present lie approx
inately quarter finished, and

innate another three years will be
needed to couplete tn job.
Page said 1t probably would NOT
be necessary to make "full
power installation" at the start. as
there would be no immediate de.
mand for all of the 2,7OO,OOC
horsepower which ultimately will
he generated.

Lord Cavendish was left out,

AIRPORT
SELECTION IS
F0RESEEN

Selection of a site for a Wash
ington municipal airport neared a
climax today.
The airport commission, headed
by Senator william H. King Do,
of Utah. chairman of the Senate
District Committee, now has avail,
able $4,000 with which to take
options on sites.
The commission is bound by
strict order Of secrecy not to
divulge any of its actions until a
final report on its findings is sub
mitted to Congress.
The commission is known, how
ever. to have secured the $4,000
in the deficiency bill just signed
bv President Roosevelt for the pur-
pose of acquiring option on sew.
eral pieces Of property. Action OF
the commission has been at
standstill during the debate over
the deficiency bill. Although the
secrecy order has been so carefully
observed that hardly any indica-
ton of what sites the commission
is considering has leaked out, it is
reported in one quarter that the
foremost is:
Twenty minuts.s from the
Willard Hotel, on high ground
and outside the fog area"
If this information is correct
the Washington Airport and
Gravellv Point are running a poor
second and third. They are boFh
in the fog area and not on high
ground.
Despite this turn in events Sen
ator Ernest w. Gibson RD, Of
Vermont, late yesterday relntro-
duccd his bill to place the landing
field at Gavelly Point. Senator
Gibson believes the best possible
site for the airport up to date is
Gravelly Point
This bill provides that the air
port shall cost no more than
S2,500,000. Half of the cost is to
be borne by the Federal Govern,
ment.
Will the plan Of the airport
commission has not been made
public there is a strong possibility
that the District will be called
upon to pay much more of fne
cost regardless Of where the air
port is placed.
