His Creotest Contribution

OROwEs greatest single contribution to dam
construction has been the use of the cable
ways to hurl heavy buckets of concrete or
huge loads of steel through space at speed
that makes mems heads swim. He uses aerial
transportation where less spectacular build
ers depend upon trestles and tracks - which
Grove despises because they must be torn
down and rebuilt as the dam rises in height.
Grove likes to string up his Joe Magees, then
pour the concrete day and night until the job
is done.
Teton Dam, in eastern Washington high
est earth-f filled dam ever built, was Groves
last job with the U. S. Bureau of Reclama-
ton Grove joined the Utah Construction
Company, and his next three dams, Guernsey,
Van Giesen and Deadwood, were built for
them. Then the era of the super -colossals such
as Boulder, Parker, Bonneville, Coulee, Shasta
and Friant began. Frank Grove was ripe for
''the greatest dam building spree of all times"
In 1880, after extended conferences with
the seven states of the Southwest bordering
on the Colorado River, the federal govern
ment decided to build the Boulder Dam. 1t
was to be the greatest monolith attempted by
man up to that time, 726 feet high and costing
$7O,OOO,OOO complete with powerhouses, de-
signed to create the worlds largest artificial
lake, lis miles long, and located in a region
of forbidding geography where the mercury
hit l20 degrees in summer. Boulder was job

Born in Canada, Grove stubbornly claims
Maine as his native state. His father, John
Grove, was builder of factories. John Grove
and his wife happened to be at Trenholmve.
Quebec, experimenting the building of new
plant when young Frank joined the family.
Although the Grove home was in Maine,
where the youngster acquired the love of
rivers, the family was always on the move,
Frank attended thirteen different schools be-
fore he entered the university
Groves genius for mobilizing men and ma
chinery cropped out early in his career with
the u S. Bureau of Reclamation, which built
its own dams for many years. He learned to
move earth and concrete fast on such jobs as
Jackson Lake, Arrowrock, Mcdonald Lake
and Teton. He was forever trying some
scheme to move earth or concrete faster.
He'd come down in the canyon by the
river and look up this side and look up that
side" one of his veteran straw bosses told me.
Then he'd scratch his head and 60 away.
Pretty soon there d be some machine we'd
never seen before, and it would work, too"
On the Jackson Lake job in Wyoming,
short, Grove built timber house over the
excavation for the dam. Such waste of money
was unheard of, but Grove soon saved
greater amount Inside the house. stoves kept
the concrete from freezing while his crews
poured the stuff all winter long and finished
the dam before the spring floods swirled down
to make dam building perilous
At Rmrock. an earth-fill dam, sizable hill
stood in the way of the work. Grove planted
two carloads of dynamite in the hill and blew
it into the place where the dam was to rise.
On the Anowrock Dam across the Boise
River in Idaho - the tallest dam in the coun-
try when it was finished in 1915 - Grove
pioneered in an idea that ultimately made
him famous Across the canyon he strung
horizontal cables; the concrete carriers rode
on these cables, all the way from the concrete
mixers on the rim to the chutes that sluiced
the stuff down into the dam. Engineers came
from near and far to marvel at these Joe
Magees," so named after the man who ran
the first carrier Without them, Boulder
Dam would have been almost impossible to
construct.
