'1 ho dam is equipped with sand gates,
a safe-guard against tho dam Oiling up.
Tho natural How of tho river will ho
ablo to develop tho power, hut tho dam
will afford enormous reservoir reserve.
Hnginoors pronounce tho cons* ruc

Tho new, double-track steel bridge
across the river has been completed.
The Coaipany has been carrying
about l.r>0 proplo on its pay roll?not in
cluding those building the dam under

Tho construction has given employ
ment to hundreds of people of tho neigh

ket for wood and lumber. Many good
capentors have found work. Many of
them have come from tho neighborhood.
The illustrations accompanying thh

Tho vVai'os Shoal improvement has
