L. M. FUNK, Proprietor THE BIGGEST IRRIGATION RESERVOIRS Of several great storage dams at present under construction by the reclamation service perhaps the most strikingly Interesting are the three hlBli masonry dams knows as the Shoshone, the Pathfinder, and the Roosevelt. The highest of these, the one In fact that will bo distinguished as the highest dam In the world, Is , being built In the canyon of tho Sho shone river in northwestern Wyoming six miles west of the town of Cody, so named after Col. V. F. Cody, better known as "Duffalo Hill." The .Shoshone, or the Stinking Wa ter river, as It was originally named, bwause of the occurrence along Its course of springs giving off noxious gases, rises In northwestern Wyoming In the spurs of the eastern slope of the Great Continental Divide, known as the Absorka and Shoshone ranges, The drainage basin of tho river above the Shoshone dam Is about 1300 square miles In extent, varies In altitude from 5000 to 12,000 feet, In eludes many high peaks within the Yellowstone National park, and Is re murknble for Its wild unit rugged scenery. The region Is one o heavy snowfall, Is well timbered and. pur suant to the wise national policy of forest preservation, Is Included al most entirely within the great Yel lowstone national forest. Just below where the two main tforks of the river Join In a narrow and deep canyon the almost perpen. 'dlcular granite walls of which rise to a height of several hundred feet. Through this glgnntlc crack In the solid rock the melting snows of the entire watershed Just described find their only exit, carrying to waste during the annual flood season of a few. weeks sufficient water to re claim many thousands of acres of the desert lands of lower altitudes. With in this canyon, at a point of almost Ideal natural advantages, Is being molded the solid wedge of concrete which Is to be known as the Shoshone dam. , , ; ( 1 1 i : i The height of .this towering struc ture when completed will be 825 H feet from .lowest foundation to crest, Its length (it the top from wall - to wall of the canyon bolng about 100 feet, and It thickness at the base 108 feet.

It will contain 330,000 cubic yards of mason ry, or over six times more than the Pathfinder, and nearly five times as much as the Shoshone dam. Its height will be 280 feet from founda tion, length on top 6.10 feet (or, In cluding spillway bridges, 10S0 feet), and Its thickness at the base 165 feet. In plan, although built In the form of an arch, this structure differs from the Shoshone and Pathfinder dams In being of the gravity type, wherein mass alone is sufficient to secure sta bility. The resulting reservoir will be the largest artlflcally formed luke In the world, a body of water 26 miles long, In places over two miles wide, with a storage capacity of 1,300,000 acre-feet and a maximum depth of over 220 feet. The dam and reservoir are the main features of the Salt River pro ject for the Irrigation of lands in the Salt River valley. In the vicinity Phoenix, Arizona.

In the eastern states the man ufacture of concrete tombstones has already assumed the proportions of an important industry, so great is the economy of Concrete. With con crete as the structural material there Is no limit to the opportunity of the arlst. Whether the concrete so molded ns to make the ornamental features an Integral part of the struc ture, or whether It be encrusted with tera cotta In subdued tones, the op portunity exists for the exercise of the best artistic talent. Designs form erly made In marble or granite can be readily reproduced in concrete and at considerably smaller cost.
