to take shape until the water was
forced to turn turbines and deliver
useful power.
: The equipment used would have
made a modern contractor cry or
curse. Its main elements were der
ricks, pile drivers. small steam en-
gines and muscle. Supplies and ma
terial came to the camp by wagon
freight under contract with Hugh
Kirkendall. Kirkendall was nc nov

He had been wagon master when
Jim Bridger guided troops with a

. The transportation of sawed lum-
Der was easier. 1t came to Townsend
from Bonner by rail. Dumped into
the river, the current and iudicious
prodding with a pike pole did the
rest. A log boom trapped it just
above the dam site.
1t wasn't all easy sailing, building
pioneer barrier. Storms, cold
weather, and the unpredictable vaga-
ries of the brooding river, hampered
operations from time to time. On at
east one occasion an over jealous
quarryman slowed things up. He

The pay of zoe per hour for la
borers and teamsters, and SOC per
hour for blacksmiths and carpenters,
wouldn't be cigarette money for
craftsmen today. Of course beef
could be had at &c per pound and
pork at sac, and every payday
found at least part of the crew
ready and able to spend their earn
ings at the local bar to the point OF
saturation.
Perhaps daylight savings time was
first introduced in Montana, if not

There was no workmen's compensa-
ton for accidents, and in each re-
corded case, the injured party seemed
perfectly willing to admit that he
was at fault. For example. one
gentleman who was laying short
pieces of loose plank on a bridge,
overmatched himself by stepping on
one that threw him. According to
the diary. "he knew that most of the
planks were not spiked. and so he
has no one to blame except himself
for his Observation-Disclosures" A sub
sequent entry states that "he signed
a release today voluntarily absolving
the company from all responsibility
in regard to the matter" Life seemed
much less complicated in some re-
spects in those days.
On Sunday. August 29. 1897 the

of the completion of this pioneer

Recent publicity given the Canyon
Ferry plant of The Montana Power
Company on the Missouri neal
Helena, reminds old timers of the
building of that plant half a century
ago. 1t is on the historic old Helena
Diamond City stage route which
crossed the river by ferry to connect
Last Chance and Confederate
Clutches. Pioneers recall that this
shuttle service across the Missouri
was operated by Court Sheriff, ST.,
who was also a placer miner stock
grower, store and stage station
proprietor.
Construction of the dam and pow
er house started in 1896 and the diary
which recorded daily progress states
that young Hugh L. Cooper was
engineer in charge. This is the same
Hugh L. Cooper who later became
internationally famous in the en-
cheering world as a MASTER builder
of hydroelectric power plants. He is
we'll remembered for his greatest
engineering feat. the building'of the
huge Dnieprostroy Dam and power
plant in Russia between 1927 and
1882.
Although the diarist usually tend
ed strictly to his technical knitting
in recording daily events, he occa-
sionally permitted human interest
items to spice his copy so that the
journals make entertaining as we'll
as informative reading.
Food and shelter were prime es-
%sentials then as now, and so the first
entry states that the first work un-
dertaken was the building of bunk
houses and a kitchen. 1t must have
been haste and not patriotism which
induced them to begin the project
on July 4th. owe fifty years ago.
Construction of the dam itself was
a constant battle with men matching
their wits against the strength and

January Is, 1949, Thomas M;
Robinson, collector of internal
revenue for the district OF Mon
tana, said today.
Most other business and pro-

file a declaration of estimated
tax for 1913 on Form 1040ES by
last March and to pay their eS-
timated tax in quarterly INSTALL
ments, the last payment or
which is due by January 10,
1949. Farmers, or those who ex-
pect to receive at least two
thirds of their income from
farming operations, are given
the privilege of postponing the
filing of a declaration of esti-
mated tax until January ID,
1949, but they must then pay
their estimated tax in full.
The January 18th filing date
should not be confused with the
March Is filing date, Robinson
said. March Is is still the final
date for filing a final and COM
plete return on Form 1040.
Even though an estimated re-
turn is filed by January Is, a
final return must still be filed
by March 18th. However, farm
ers may save themselves the
trouble of filing two returns, an
estimated return by January Is
and a final return by March
Is, if they file their final re-
turn on Form 1040 and pay
their tax in full by January Is,
1949, Robinson explained.

Cleaning and Cooling Of Eggs More
Than Just Ordinary Poultry Chores

ouick wash in a I've solution, with
the water heated to temperature OK
100 to 100 degrees. MOST poul'IJ
farmers, however, don't have the help
or the time available to clean eggs
manually. Electrically operated ma
chimes have taken over that chore.
Most familiar egg cleaners employ
abrasive cloths and revolving GYM
ders. Several eggs are cleaned at one
time by being rotated gently against
the cloths. Many are driven by "a
horsepower motors and some instaua-
tons include $50 horsepower mo-
tor to exhaust dust outdoors from
the machine. Some farmers eleah
their eggs with a circular brush at
tached to the shaft extension OF

cleaners on the market is said TO Dc
able to handle $50 dozen eggs an hour.

volving, abrasive-coated, clotn olsks'
Water, heated to at least l6o degrees

Before emerging from the machine
the eggs are mechanically dried.
Egg coolers may be either OF the
walk-in refrigeration type or evapo-
rative, with forced draft. Walk-in
coolers generally are large enough
FOR the storage Of milk, meat ana
other farm products as well as eggs.
They are equipped with controls LOT
the maintenance Of proper tempera-
ture, moisture content and circulation
of air. In evaporative coolers, eggs
are placed in open wire-bottom pals,
which fit snugly into holes in the top
of the cabinet. Water-cooled air IS
drawn into the cabinet and forced
up through the eggs, bringing their
temperature down to a recommended
IS degrees.
Another helpful electrical device
in the poultry business is the egg
grader. Operated, generally, by Is
horsepower motors, these machines
mechanically separate eggs into dlf-
ferent g:ades by weight. Some even
feature built-in Gamblers to speed Up
egg handling chores.
