I have never bad occasion to take it again as I have been so well; I have a six room flat and do all my work. My two sisters ' are taking the Compound upon my recommendation and you may publish my letter. It is the goepel truth and 1 will write to any one who wants a personal letter. Mrs. E. H.

Biggest dam in the world is saying a good deal. There is, for example, the Assuan dam In Upper Egypt at the first cataract of the Nile. It Is an irrigation dam masonry and is the largest of its kind in the world. It is 6,561 feet It is 118 feet high and long and cost $24,000,000. " ' is to e raised to 141 feet essential an is the Gatun dam, part Thep there of the Panama canal. It is an earth dam, 9,040 feet long, 1,900 feet wide and 60 feet high. It creates Gatun lake, which is 164 square miles. ' The Shoshone dam in Wyoming, just east of the Yellowstone, rises 829 feet and Is the highest masonry dam in the world. The Roosevelt dam on the Sai.t river in Arizona, is 286 feet high ; its base is 235 feet and its top 1,080 feet long. It cost $6,500,000. It makes a reservoir lake about 25 miles long and 1 to 2 miles wide. .The Graitd valley reclamation project in Colorado has a roller-credam across the Grand river which is the largest h the world. Now, of course, the proposed Colorado river dam will not be bigger in every way than'these mighty dams Nevertheless, it will be biggest of all Jn the sense that it will be the' most spectacu. lar o,J all dams, from an engineering view point it the most spec-- , Perhaps an engineer might-ca- ll taculnr engineering feat In all history. For the proposed dam will have to be from 500 to 600 feet high nearly twice as higli as any such structure in existence. To attain! this Immense height it will have to be many times as great in bulk. It will have to be built, between floods In a desperate race against time. It will create a tremendous reservoir, nobody knows Just how big; it will back up the waters of the Colorado for a hundred miles and find its level in the Innumerable canons leading off on both sides. Its promoters claim that it will make fertile by irrigation a great desert; that.lt will furnish vast hydro-electrpower ; that it will help solve the problem of the Colorado at' the Mexican boundary line, which .continually endangers1 the Imperial valley of California. The site of this proposed monster dam is Boulder canon. The Colorado, after leaving the Grand canon, runs straight west for a hundred. miles. Thefi it turns almost at right angles1 to the south, forming the boundary line between Nevada and California on the west and Arizona "on the east d turn is Boulder canon Near this 2,000 feet deep and 320 feet wide at the base and 750 feet wide where the top of the dam will come. One end of the dam will be in Arizona and the other in Nevada. This, you see is a dam site worthy of the great Colorado, which has Its 'headwaters and drains parts of seven big 'states. In Wyoming and Utah this river is called the Green. The Colorado branch Is called the Grand. The Grand! and the Green unite in southeast, Utah to form the Colorado. Curiously enough the legislatures of Wyoming, Utah and Colorado are now in a race to change the Green and Grand to Colorado and a bill to this effect is also pending by a Clear Babys Skin With Cuticura Soap and Talcum Ssap 25c, Ohtmat 25 ead 50tj.

The Grand canon Is on the main river In Arizona and extends from the moffth of the Little Colorado to the Grand Wash. The Grand Canon National park contains 994 square mliep and encloses 217 miles of the river, which In places is 6,000 feet below the rim of the canon.' The lower Colorado runs through a low desert country. At Yuma on the Mexican line Is an Immense Irrigation project which consists of a diversion dam nearly a mile long, 400 miles of canals and 70 miles of dikes and cost about $5,- OQf.000.,, The water Is carried to Arizona lands ' .

This break was not suc--: Floods again cessfully plosed until 1906-0threatened to drown out the Imperial valley and In 1909-1- 0 a congressional appropriation of was applied to the construction of levees and dikes. Most of the Imperial valley is below sea level and was formerly a part of the Gulf of California. The Colorado built itself an aque-"duct from its silt and cut off the part to the north. - Evaporation did the rest. It is thus evident that much depends upon the vagaries of the mighty, restless river. A year or so ago congress provided funds for a study of a project to control it. Arthur P. Davis, director of the reclamation service, department of the in-- . terior, has just returned from a trip along the lower river. Here are some of the things he has to say regarding the Boulder dam project f For years we have measured the water that flows down the Colorado. We know approximately how-mucof it there is to stop. Our first task, therefore, is to find a dam site back of which there are storage valleys large enough to hold all the flood waters that may come. The Grand canon and Needles on the Santa Fe are about 250 miles apart. Along the river between them is a chaos of mountains and canons, ' almost uninhabited. s of the way down from the canon is the selected dam site in Boulder canon. 50-fo- v - ' - difficult. The canal which now waters Imperial valley runs partly through Mexico. The reclamation canal service plan is to substitute an to take the water out higher up, to run a ditch at a higher level that will double the area of Irrigable lands in Imperial valley. The dam for this diversion is already built. It is the Laguna dam, above Yuma. Already It is diverting water for the irrigation of 100,000 acres in Arizona. If the stream were regulated by storage all the water in the river would be harnessed and all the land available could be Irrigated. The lower Colorado would become the Nile of America. Twenty acres of land is enough for a family In this section, so 1,000,000 acres would make The manner of its homes for 50,000 families. cultivation is Intensive.

There however, another purpose.. The lower Colorado has become a menace. Like other such streams it has built for Itself out of sediment a trough that is hundreds of feet above some of the surrounding country. Whenever there is flood there is danger of breaking out of that trough. It did so once ten years ago and it required a most frenzied fight to stop it. There is an area in southern California as big as Delaware that might be submerged. The Imperial valley might be wiped out. We must either con-th- e flow of the Colorado or build a system of levees that must be watched and built higher through all time. If this latter project were advisable from an engineering standpoint it would she next to impossible of actual accomplishment because much of the area requiring levees is in Mexico and international would be tropical corner of the nation. v Great Electrical Power. electrical The power developed would be very large. When this reservoir is filled there will be a column of water 500 feet high with the pressure of this great artificial lake back of it. A river of water will be constantly flowing from beneath the dam. It will have the force of that 500 feet of pressure. It can be set to turning as many turbines as it may be profitable to turn. It can be generated so economically that it can be furnished at prices that will be surprisingly low. The only material problem will be transmission lines. It is long distances to any centers of population. Mines will, of course, be considerable consumers. With cheap power new uses will de- Two-third- - Canon Narrow Here. The gash that is here cut through the rock ' cliffs Is but 320 feet wide at the base and 750. feet wide where the top of the dam would come. Thus the canon is no wider thhn that which was closed by the Roosevelt dam in Arizona, but the structure must be nearly twice as high. This additional height makes it an incomparably more difficult task. It is more difficult, also, because It must be put in the bed of a much greater stream. That stream must he diverted and its bed made dry for the work. During the spripg months the 'river is at flood and is too powerful to be dealt with. Then comes eight months of com- paratively low water. It will be necessary to blast out tunnels around the dam site that will carry the normal flow of the river. Then, some spring, the waters will be diverted Into these tunnels. Between the time of that diversion and the coming of high waters the following spring the river bed will have to be scraped to bedrock, probably a hundred feet below , the present waterline, and that bedrock will have to be built up with concrete, thus mak- Ing the proper foundation for the great structure. It will be a race against time. The water will back up the Colorado nearly a hundred miles. It will find its level in many canons leading off to one side and the other. The Virgin river flows into the Colorado from tne Nevada side above this dam site. This river opens out in a wide valley. It will furnish the principal storage basin of the project Two desert villages in Nevada will be Inundated. Between them they represent but a dozen homes. The relief' to be afforded, is 300 miles away on the lower reaches of the stream. Near the border of Arizona, California and Mexico there are extensive areas of desert land, which, with water for irrigation, may be transformed to what are probably the most productive farms in the United States. In the Colorado desert, In California, 400,000'acres of this land, below sea level, has already been privately reclaimed and Is occupied. There are other lesser valleys along the lower river on either side. All these projects are Interfered with by the fact that the Colorado is given to huge floods in the spring, but runs quite low at other seasons. It furnishes either not enough water or too much. While the desert Is parched all about great floods run Into- the sea unused. ; . - - "I velop. Very satisfactory results in power generation have been secured at the Roosevelt dam.
