Meantime, the thirsty communities

HE PUTS RIVERS TO WORK

Shasta was another of the great
dams projected by the federal govern
ment to correct the mistakes OF
nature in the distribution of rainfall
in the Far West, and was not only
tremendous undertaking but the kind
of Job an empire builder likes to
tackle. 1t was designed to back up
the waters into a lake 29. 500 acres in
extent. Every winter these waters
roared out to sea in torrent twice
the volume of Colorado at flood time
and regularly inundated farms of the
lower valley. swept out bridges, threat
ened highways and railroads.
Shasta Dam is unique lii the num-
Der of purposes it will serve. 1t will
not only hold back the spring floods
when the SHOWS melt on lofty Mt.
Shasta, 14,16l feet high, and on the
surrounding Siskiyou range. but 1t
will monitor the river as well. BY
means of the dam, the government can

to challenge the most intrepid OF
builders. Groves firm was one of the
half-dozen contractors that pooled
their resources in the Six Companies,
Inc. With fourteen dams behind him,
the partners agreed he was the man to
boss the construction of this one.
Grove had been down in the deep,
forbidding canyon years before for the
Reclamation Bureau, studying steep
walls for a spot to anchor dam. The
first problem was to get rid of the
river. which raced in foamy, chocolate
colored torrents through the narrow
gorge. So he built a series of sidewall
tunnels fifty feet in diameter - the
largest holes ever bored in the earth's
crust. Next he swung five cableways
across the canyon from rim to rim.
The largest, a monster named King
Kong, handled $50 tons of concrete or
steel at crack Day and night the
whizzing carriages and the plumet-
ing buckets tossed materials into the
canyon until the builders had piled up
a monolith larger than the Great
Pyramid of Egypt. Grove finished

down the river, which ordinarily tapers
off to a trickle in late summer.
Thus the Sacramento will be made
navigable all year round for two hun
dred miles from San Francisco. Bay
The steady flow of fresh water will
likewise bump back the salty tides
that creep inland each summer threat

diverted to flow uphill through the
parched San Joaquin Valley five hun

Finally, the turbines at the dams

times as high as Niagara will thunder.
will end what the Department of the
Interior characterizes as the lnclp-
lent power shortage for defense indus
tries in northern California.
BY queer quirk of fate. Frank
Grove almost lost out on this last
great job of river harnessing in the
West. When the bids were opened late
in the summer of 1898, his employers
learned that they had lost the job to
Pacific Constructors, Inc. They had
lost a S35, 5,939,45O award by only
S263, 900. They we're heartsick, and so
was the country's champion dam
builder. So were the hundreds of work
men who had followed him from dam
to dam for a quarter of a century.
New Employers
Bur not for long The directors of
Pacific Constructors concluded that.
though they had landed the contract,
they lacked the man who could build
the dam faster than anyone else.
Grove finished Parker Dam in August,
In September he was boss for Pacific
Constructors at Shasta. He and his
men were working for new employers.
but they were still harnessing river.
And doing it with the most spectacular
machinery Grove has ever tried.
To hurl his buckets of cement
through space to every part of the
vast dam, Grove erected the most
| colossal construction tower on record.
| At its base is the concrete mixing
plant. fed by a conveyor belt. which
brings gravel from the river bottom
ten miles away. The concrete is
emptied into enormous buckets that
swing from the cableways, and Groves
operators, high in the tower. can hit
dime with a bucket of mixed concrete
anywhere on the whole job.
When engineers came to marvel at
the mechanical monster. they wagged
their heads skeptically. But Groves
men are already on their second mil
lion cubic yards of concrete and Shasta
Dam is taking shape we'll ahead of
schedule. One of these days the thirty
miles of highway and railroad that
once pushed up through the canyon
will be covered with 500 feet of water.
Late in l943, if the Joe Magees
continue to handle the concrete at the
rate they are dumping it now. Grove
will have poured the last bucket of
100000 cubic yards. and Frank
Grove. who has lived most Of his life
in river bottoms" may have chance
to spend little time on that ranch up
in Montana he bought years ago.
When the dam is taken over and dig
nitaries pin fresh laurels on the cham
pion dam builder. the chances are
Grove will make the same speech he
did at Boulder and Parker:
IF you gentlemen want to see the
fellow who really built this dam. 60

hat. his average age is thirty-one. and.
what's more, he can do things"

Parker was one of the lowest. 1t rose
only 72 feet above the floor of the
river, but its footings were 233 feet

Seniority at its worst is the way the New York Times refers edtoraly to the proposition that Senator Robert R Reynolds of North Carolina might shortly become Chairman of the Senate's all- important Committee Military Affairs.
 Senator Reynolds is the gentleman who made a brief excursion to Alaska several years ago and has been talking about it in Congress ever since, how he shot warus at the risk of his life, how there is island in the Arctic Ocean, Wrangel Island which should be and not Russias and so
 In the Senate Reynolds is looked upon an amiable possibly harmless, wndbag. recent Jack Stinnett dispatch to The Empire described him as "fizze" Mayor of Washington, D. c. On the record Senator Reynolds would hardly to be the for the important post he about to assume.

 Because the United States Senate sticks to a foolish and obsolete rule of seniority hell high water it is in danger of having Chairman of it's Committee on Military Affairs com pletey out of sympathy with his party majority the Congressional majority, the Administration and the expressed public opinion of the country on the sub ject of national defense.
