The Knights are celebrating
their first anniversary in Har-
din today. 1t was exactly a year
ago that Art and his wife took
over the management of the
Chuckwagon cafe.
We have Mrs. Knights word
for it that they have enjoyed
their first year id Hardin very
much and appreciate the Co
operation they have received
here. They've had their troubles
during the year-mostly along
the line of securing and keep
ing experienced help. Almost
everybody seems to be having
the same trouble. 1t is a period
of reStleSsnesS and change, so
the patrons of the ChuckWagon
have always pretty well under
stood the situation. They have
been most c~onSiderate and CO.
operative, Mrs. Knight tells us,
and she and her husband truly
appreciate it.

Up and
DOU,n
-
the Street

Cooperation is the watchword,
according to the city council.
The council wants to cooper
ate with the citizens Of the
town, and why not-since the
citizens. elected them? But the
aldermen earnestly and rather
humbly beg a little coopera-
ton and understanding from
the townspeople too.
We've got a guilty conscience
because we didn't attend the
conference on parking called
for Tuesday night. There were
a good many who should have
been present who were not
there, but enough were present
to discuss the matter. No DELI
mite conclusions were reached.
That is where the cooperation
comes in. If the business people
who drive their cars down town
will either use the parking lot
or get on the side streets, away
from the business district, the
councilmen say, our parking
problem will be much closer to
being solved.
1t looks, our source Of in
formation tells us, that the
council will pass an ordinance
forbidding double parking at
its next meeting. 1t will also
move the trucks farther out of
town-none will be permitted to
park between Fourth and Fifth
on Center avenue hereafter. we
understand. That closes all Of
Third street and Center from
the railroad to Fifth street to
trucks. We hope this will help.
1t really has been a bit diff
cult for driver and pedestrian
alike on Hardin streets of late.
There is one happy thought.
The acute parking problem re-
fleets the fact that Hardin is
doing well as far as business is
concerned-and that we are
growing. Our business district
is growing larger, and that is
nothing to feel badly aboutl

The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1948-04-15

The same usually reliable
source tells us that the coun-
Gil also would be very happy if
all the owners of lots in town
which do not already have city
water piped in would have the
hook-up made now and the
water pipe carried past the
curb and into the lot proper.
We are ~otting some fine new
oiled streets in Hardin. Some of
the other streets will be re-sur-
faced, ifthe present petition
goes through-and it seems
certain it will do so. 1t would
indeed be ideal if it were not
necessary to chisel through that
beautiful black-top to get to
the water mains-and it would
certainly make some sections of
the street much less bunny.

Flood. Silt Control

LEFT: The old BoYsen dam is located Ia miles
downstream from the site of the new construction.
This dam was built by a private firm in the mar
rowest part of the wind River canyon and was
constructed primarily for power production. Flood
waters filled the reservoir TO the extent that rail-
road property was flooded. A so-foot superstructure
was blown off the top of the dam TO reduce the
reservoir but this made power production impos-
sble. AT low right can be seen one of the silt
banks. Silt control is one of the principal purposes
for which the new project is being constructed.

for present irrigation systems, permitting
greater use of natural flows in the Wind
River basin. In other words, water from
this large reservoir can be used for down.
stream irrigation without any curtailment
of upstream use on existing irrigation prof.
ects.
1t will also be possible to construct neces-
sary small dams for irrigation on land along
creeks which lead into the Big Horn river.
Construction of these dams without the
large Boysen reservoir would create a
shortage of irrigation water downstream.

move silt from the Big Horn river, thus
reducing maintenance costs of irrigation
works downstream. The silt capacity, $780,
900 acre-feet below the lowest outlet in the
dam, is considered large enough to handle
all the river silt for over 100 years.

supply the water for these units but the
power developed will drive the pumps that
will put that water on the land.
Another 10000 acres of new land and
thousands of acres of land in existing prof.

receive indirect benefits through the dam

DOYSEN dam, the first of the bureau Of
- reclamation-army engineers projects
in the 1947-48 program for Missouri river
basin developments is now well under way.
The $13, 900, 900 contract for construction of
this dam on the Big Horn river in Wy
oming was awarded to the Morrison Knud-
sen Co., Boise, and work began last fall.
The contract calls for construction of the
main dam and hydroelectric power plant
and relocation of IA miles of the Burlington
railroad. Work must be completed within
slightly more than four years.
The multiple purpose, earth filled dam
will be 218 feet high and LOO feet long at
the crest. 1t will back up the Big Horn river
Is miles south of Thermopolis, Wyo., into
a huge reservoir for hydroelectric power,
irrigation, silt and flood control. The $4,000
kilowatt power plant will nave an annual
output of 60, 1000, 900 kilowatt hours.
Boysen dam is not at all new to the Wind
River canyon. The original dam and the
new bureau of reclamation project are both
named after the man who designed and
built the first dam in 1910 as a private power
project. Most of the original dam structure
still remains where it was built, in the mar
rowest part of the $500 foot deep Wind Riv-
er canyon Through which flows the Big

the railroad to be flooded out, and Boysen
was compelled to cut off the 50-foot super
structure that had been placed on top of the
original dam Boysen continued to produce
power until 1925 with this lower dam, but
silt began piling around the power inlets
to his turbines and he was forced to aban-
don the project.
Preliminary Work
Preliminary work at the dam has been
under way since May, 1916 when a contract
was let for construction of a power trans
mission line from the Pilot-Butte-T hermop-
oils line to the Boysen unit and government
camp. Another contractor has been work
ing on the relocation of Az miles of U. S.
highway No. 20 to skirt the site of the
proposed dam and lower end of the reser-
voir. Two other contractors have been work
ing on warehouse buildings, offices and
residences at the government camp.
The Boysen dam reservoir will have a
capacity of 100000 acre-feet at normal op-
Grating pool level, of which 260, 900 acre
feet are below the lowest outlet and will
be available for silt control. The dam will
provide temporary additional reservoir
capacity of $4,000 acre-feet to assist in
