the old Pilot Ilutto will be $150,000.
Some $200,000 moro will probably.

building of laterals.
Work on this project was begun
In April and by the first of Septetr

at somo other tolnt on tho mighty
Deechutcs river.
, The height of tho dam from tho
lowest point of excavation to the
crest whero tho water will flow over
It Is 40 feet. Tho cxtrcrao length of
the seml-clrcular mass of concrete
Is 300 feet. At the bottom tho thick
ness of tho dam Is 27 feet and at tho
top 6 feet. On each sldo of the stream
the rocky banks form a natural bar
rier, and down to solid rock In the
river bed the foundation of tho dam
Is laid, making It an Impregnable

tho patient had no money and could
not go to Portland or olsewhoro for

the hospital.
