This one was built In 1778. Tbats the year our last World Series was over with England, I dont know much history, but I bars looked st many a one of those pictures, labelled "Spirit of 1778 It stirs the spirit of you. I expect its a terrible bad painting, and maby worse music, but Its a heroin looking group. One has his head tied up I remember, ones got a flute, and I believe the little fellow has s drum. It and Washington standing up in that boat crossing (I think It was ths Dele ware) those two constitute all the art they had In those days. Nothing being painted now will ever live that long. We tore ourselvs loose from England In that year. Its a question of who It was a better deal for. There was an awful lot of things before 1776 that we wasent Blessed with when we were under England. Jest mention any problem thata facing our Country today, and it wasent with us before 1776. Do you realize there was no Senate, and no Congress! Then yon talk about freedom. No inflation, deflation, refores-tratiosophistication. Tha only thing like today was wo had no money. But we had no debts.

So as I accidentally run onto Secretary Wallace in San Juan Capistrano, 6S miles ont of Los Angeles, although perhaps like me, not of that faith, he viewed It with greet' reverence. Each community fanned and raised everything, (and these Missions, were not In a great watered country remember) but they did It all, no overproduction, no underconsumption, no tarriffs, no processing taxes, no birth control with hogs, no plowing under every third row of free holy beans. Thousands lived In each of these valleys, until the Gringos come. They gummed It np proper, so I think Mr Wallaces thoughts must havs been on the way these people did the thing that all onr civilization seems to sky we cant do.

On the other hand, the British feel that If they buy our dollars to pay us, they might Increase the value of the dollar and diminish that of the pound. The npsbot Is that our British friendf decide to pay nothing, explaining with words well chosen that we ought to be grateful that Britain did not allow Germany to destroy the United States In the big war. And, anyhow, it Is all onr fault d The Doctor Einstein, of relativity fame, warns the United States that America Is not innocent of Europe's misery," and in demanding payment of her debt become so accomplice In the ruin of political morality and the cultivation of a revenge spirit encouraged by despair." So says an Associated Press dispatch from super-learne- Paris It should not annoy Professor Einstein to be told that the people of the United States, delighted to receive and provide him with congenial employment when Germany put him out, feel able to form their own opinions concerning the debts. Opinions of one, however wise In mathematics, who will take no part In paying the debt and bought none of the Liberty bonds when the debts were contracted, do not Interest the American taxpayer. If the highly esteemed Doctor Einstein will read the foolish book that his greater predecessor, Newton, wrote, elucidating the Apo alypse, he will learn that It la possible for a scientist to make mistakes when he wanders away from science. There Is no demand for a fourth dimension In International honesty. At Morrison. I1L, two pigeons take turns trying to hatch a dock egg left In an open lane. The pigeon find it hard to cover the entire egg, but do their best, and the Farmers egg may be batched. watch and wonder what the pigeons will do with their child after they hare hatched the duckling, and what they will think when It takes to the water. At Washington there Is mamma government that may be even more aurprlsed than those pigeons ns It watches the unfolding careers of social and economic ducklings that it Is now Hhtcblng.

Interesting question: How will the government pay for this new silver! Will It pay with more Interest-bearing bonds, on the assumption that the silver Is really worth nothing! Or will the government Issue nice new green money, saying, There la good silver hack of this"!

By ELMO SCOTT WATSON OME time late In 1930 or early in 1937 Uncle Sam will be able to say to the other nations: If you want to see one of the modern wonders of the world, come down Into the southwestern part of my country and take a look at a job that Ive Just flulshed on the Colorado river. And In saying that he wont be uttering any Idle boast For th completion of the Hoover asm will mark the conclusion of one of the greatest engineering feats of aU time, greater even than another of the triumphs of Uncle Sam, engineer, that of digging the Panama canal and when this gigantic mass of steel and concrete Is finished It win be the biggest structure of Its kind In the whole world. Not the least part of Uncle Sams triumph wlU be the fact that the dam and Its appurteuaht works will be completed In record time. When the contractors began work on April 80. 1931, they were to be allowed seven years In which to finish the Job. That would have meant Its completion by April 20, 1938. Right now they are nearly two years ahead of schedule and U Is estimated that at the present rate of progress the whole thing will have been done In six years or less. Impressive as are the statistical data connected with the Hoover dam, the average person cannot get U adequate Idea of the Immensity of the project from abstract figures alone. Most of ns are poor Judges of distance so It would mean little to say that the dam will have s maximum height of 730 feet above Its foundation rock, that the top of It will be approximately 600 feet above the level of the river and that It will raise the water surface of the river 684 feet But lets get st It this way : If the Washington monument were set up alongside the dam and you stood on top of that monument some one standing on top of the dam would have to let down nearly 60 yards of rope In order to pull you np to where he stood. Can you visualize 4,400.000 cubic yards of concrete! Probably not But if some one told you about a tower that was 100 feet square and rose two and half miles In the sir, you could get some Idea of the amount of concrete thats going Into the Hoover dam, the power plant nearby and tbS appurtenant work That amount of concrete would build a standard paved highway, 16 feet wide, which would extend all the way from Seattle, Wash., to Miami, Fla. Youll admit that 10,000,000,000,000 gallons of water Is a considerable amount of moisture. That means 80,000 gallons for every man, woman and child In the United States. That gallons Is the amount of water which the reservoir crested by the Hoover dam will an acre-foo- t hold. They also figure It In acre-fee- t being the amount of water that will cover one acre one foot deep. When this reservoir Is full It win contain 30,000,000 acre-feenough water to cover the whole state of New York to the depth of a foot But enough of statistics for a moment In favor of some more general Information about this gigantic project The Hoover dam Is being built In the upper Black canyon on the Colorado river about 25 mllet southeast of Las Vega Nev., wbere the Tlver forms part of the Arizona-Nevadboundary. The purposes of the project are flood control and general river regulation (for the Colorado has long been one of the most unruly and destructive of all the rivers In America), Irrigation, silt control, domestic water supply and power development For these purposes the project calls not only for the construction of the huge dam and power plant In Black canyon hot also the construction of the canal in southern California. The total cost of the project Is placed at approximately $165,000,000dl v Ided op at follows dam and reservoir, $70,600,000; canal, $38,500,000; power development $38,200, 000; and Interest during construction $17,700,000, But lest anyone think, since this is a federal project that Its construction means that many millions out of the pockets of American taxpayers, let It be stated at once that Uncle 8ams investment In It (In the form of congressional appropriations) will be repaid In full within thenext 50 years from the Income derived from supthe sale of HrigatloB water and-fropower generated In the power plant a huge structure of steel and concrete, 1.2G0 feet long, which will stand Just below the , data. Although power development was a secondary consideration In planning this project it promises to become a very Important one In the future because of the effect which cheap power will have upon modernizing community and civic life In the Southwest The plans for this power 15 turbines of plant call for thg Installation of 115.000 horse power each and two turbines of 55.000 horse power each with 15 generators of two 82,500 kilovolt amtere capacity each and generator of 40,000 kilovoltampere capacity each. The larger units exeeed Injrtze the largest turyet manufactured, the 83,000 horse power In generators bines and 70,500 kilovolt-amper10,000,-000,000,0- m e VI III , , s the Dnleprostroy plant In Russia. One of these mammoth generators will weigh over 2,000,000 pounds, will measure 40 feet In diameter and stand 32 feet high, world-famou- Thla power plant will have a total capacity of 1,835,000 horse power, or tour times the amount developed on the American side of Niagara Falla and nearly double the amount developed both at Niagara Falls and Muscle Shoals, even when the latter reaches the peak of Ita capacity. It will be operated and maintained by tbe city of Lot Angeles and the Southern California Edison company, under the general supervision of a director appointed by the secretary of tha Interior. Tbe city will generate power for the states of Arizona and Nevada, a large number of southern California municipalities and tor tbe Metropolitan Water district and the Southern California Edison company will generate power for com pany purchasers. An essential part of the project la the cor structlon of the canal, because It Is entirely within tbe United State It wll begin about 15 miles northeast of Yuma, Artz wbere the new Imperial diversion dam will be built and will connect with the present system of Irrigation ditches In tbe Imperial valley, a distance of about 80 miles. At tbe same time, e a extension of this canal will pass east of the Salton sea and carry water to the adjacent Coachella valley. From the beginning of tbe canal near Yuma it will pass through a ridge of shifting sand and there the deepest cut will be about 100 feet deep. Huge siphons or culverts will be needed In many Instances to carry tbe canal under numerous washes. Flans call for ten of these on tha main line and 79 on the Coachella branch. Siphons will also be need to carry the water under tha Alamo and New rivers, Tbe canal la expected to cost st least $27,000,000 and bids will ba asked soon by Uieljureau. Plans contemplate a maximum canal capacity of 15,000 second-fee- t. Tbe Imperial dam, to be of the floating type, will be 1,700 feet long and will raise the river level 22 feet Tbe canal will provide Irrigation water for 850,000 acres in the Imperial valley and an additional 150,000 acres will be brought under cultivation by the Coachella extension. Some distance np tbe Colorado river will be located the .Parker dam. Intended both as a power plant and as a diversion dam. Designs for this hydroelectric plant are rapidly nearing completion. There, 265 miles directly across the state from Los Angeles, will originate the water supply for the Metropolitan Water district The Parker reservoir will be located approxl mately 150 miles downstream from the Hoover dam and Is a natural site for a diversion barrier. Tbe first 113 miles extending west to Shaver's Summit will require heavy expenditure for construction and operation, as the line will make an ascent of 1,500 feet Power from the Hoover dam will be used to operate pumping lifts. Although the Metropolitan Water district la paying for the construction of tbe Parker dam by the reclamation bureau, the project will be of Immense Importance to tbe Southwest Ultimately, It Is proposed to build a power plant at the dam and then to extend transmission lines on down the river to the Imperial dam. using the power thus delivered to pump water for Irri gatton purpose's In the vast nndevelopcd ares In Arizona. This project will be known as the Gila , development One unique and Interesting phase of the gigantic Hoover dam project was the tremendous Job of dlvertlngjjbe flow of tbe Colorado river before the construction of the dam could be started. To do this It was necessary to drive four tuatela, 50 feet In diameter, through the rock aftle canyon walla, two on each side of 130-mll- t 1.

This Is how they pick em up and lay em down st ths dam. A motor truck Is lifted Ilk a childs toy by the 150-tocrane, th biggest In th world. 5. Th first completed tower for transmission of power from the dam. It I 109 feet high' and stands near Kingston camp. n the river and build a temporary earth and rock fill coffer dam to send 200,000 second feet of water mailing through the tunnels which have total length of 15.934 feet or three mile After their use for river diversion, these tunnels will be utilized in the project scheme as follows: After being plugged with concrete st locations approximately tbelr length below the Inlet ends of the Inner tnnnels and about midway In tbe outer tunnels, the two Inner steel pipes connecttunnels all) contain ing Intake towers In the reservoir with the penstocks to the power plant and tbe canyon wall outlet works and the lower portions of the two outer tunnefs will be used for spillway outlets. And these steel pipes bring up again the phrase worlds largest which must be used so often In connection with the Hoover dam. For they are- - the largest pipes ever ron- structed In the history of manufacturing. They are made by an Ohio company and because they are too blg to be shipped by railroad from the company's plant Ip the Buckeye state, It bad to build a fabricating plant near the dam. One length of this pipe, 12 feet long and 80 feet In .diameter, is made from three steel plates, so heavy that only two plates can be shipped from tbe steel mill tn Ohio to tbe fabricating plant near tbe dam on one railroad car. Two such lengths of pipe welded together comprise on erection section weighing 150 tons, which Is heavier than tnahy types of railroad locomotives. And this Is typical of the scale opon which everything is being done at the Hoover dam. To tell of any detail of the work there Is to deal . In superlatives, for it Is there that Uncle Sam, the greatest engineer In the world. Is working day and night rushing to completion th worlds . greatest Engineering project"" Colo. kr Wwtra , one-thir- d 30-fo- 30-fo- Kppr |
