Project Reservoir; Dam to Ï0 BE AWARDED IÏ TIME sition for Construction of Dam Foundation and Wall. Construction on the big Owyee dam is rapidly gathering momen tum and will soon be going with full steam ahead, according to Frank T. Morgan, secretary of the Owyhee Irrigation district, who returned this week from a visit to the scene of operations. A cableway is being strung across the canyon and securely fastened in concrete at each end. This cableway will serve as a track for the tram cars used in conveying concrete for the dam foundation and wall. The very latest machinery is being used by the General Construction in this this work and rapid progress will be made in actual construction work as soon as excavation work has been completed for the foun dation. The diversion tunnel is completed and soon the river will be turned out of its channel, leav ing the damsite bare, when work o f excavating for the foundation will begin. Another event that is being looked forward to with much eagerness is the awarding of two tunnel eonti~cts, which «.’.'ill be let next month. One o f the con tracts will call for a tunnel three and a half miles long by 15 feet in diameter. The other tunnel will be six miles long and nine and a half feet in diameter. This will be the fourth longest tunnel in the United States. The long tunnel will carry water to the Gem Irrigation district near Homedale, while the short tunnel ■will carry water to the Mitchell Butte division, Kingman Kolony and Dead Ox Flat. Mr. Morgan estimates that it. will require three years to complete the long tunnel. CHAPTER CLOSED FOR SUMMER VACATION The 0 . E. S. held their regular meeting Wednesday eve.
