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. In plan the dam la of the
arched type, wherein stability Is se
cured by means of the form as well
as the volume of the structure, i-
The apex of the arch being turned
up stream to resist the pressure of tha
Impounded waters, and the founda

pleted structure, will form a concrete

The Ropsevelt, flam," will eclipse In
magnitude of cubic contents all of the,
dams at present under construction
by tho reclamation service. 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

tombstones seems rather a grewsome
one, still the ancients associated the
tomb with the highest artistic Im

ufacture of concrete tombstones has
already assumed the proportions of
an important industry, so great is the
economy of Concrete. With con

Is no limit to the opportunity of the

the best artistic talent. Designs form

PIONEER TRAIL MARKER !
RETURNS TO THE WEST
After Traveling Over 4300 .Miles by
Ox Team During tho Past Year and
a Half, Ezra Meeker Visits Port
land and Tells ni Exixrlences
OiKkwk fur National Highway
Across the Continent Is Good. 1
!
The Oregon Daily Journal says ot'
the return of Ezra Meeker, the pio
neer trail marker to the northwest
states and of his excellent work la the
Interest of a national highway across
the .continent.
Having addressed more than 100,
000 school children, met the president '
In the White House and numerous'
other notables, and believing that the
purpose of his trip along the old Ore
gon trail to have congres build a
concrete road across the continent
will eventually be a success. Ezra
Meeker the pioneer, arrived In Port
land this morning after having trav
eled more than 4500 miles by ox team
in the last year and a half.
Mr. Meeker will remain In Port
land for two weeks and will take part
In the Pioneers', day celebration on
June 10. The ox team and wagon
and camp outfit are on their way to
Portland, having been shipped from
St. Joseph, Missouri, by train last
week. While here Mr. Meeker will
camp out on Borne lot in the city.
This afternoon Mr. Meeker will con
sult Jacob Kamm, another old timer,
to see if he can have the privilege of
putting up his tent On one of Mr.
McCamm's lots near the buslnes dis
trict. ,Mr. Jtfeeker eaye his trip has been
a success In every way. The people
everywhere, he says, were particular
ly glad to see him and welcomed him
with open arms. In New York city,
where Mr. Meeker remained two
months, the aldermen passed a special
ordinance allowing his ox team to
appear, on the streets of America's
metropolis.
Since he left the coats In January,
1906. Mr. Meeker has lived in the
open most of the time, and visited
most of the principal cities of th
country. As a result, he Is still "77
years young, as ne puts it nimseit.
While away one of the oxen died
but the other still remains In service.
The mate was taken from the Btock-
yards at Omaha and has since travel
ed more than 3000 miles, dragging tha
prairie schooner and driver all those
miles.
For the present Mr. Meeker Is stay
ing at the Perkins. The ox team will
arrive within a few days and will ap
pear" on the streets of Portland. At
The Dalles they will be unloaded from
