ARMSBY COMPANY, SAN FRANCISCO BRO'S. What Kind? HUGE WYOMING DAM A quarter of a century ago the home of the buffalo, and later a cattle and sheep pasture, with an occasional ranch house, the Big Horn Basin in Wyoming is now the scene of a great activity incident to the building of one of the largest of the government irrigation works. Some years ago Colonel Cody, better known as Buffalo Bill, made a survey of the Shoshone canyon and in connection with General Miles projected a company to construct a dam and irrigate some 60,000 acres. The necessary capital, however, was not forthcoming and when the national irrigation law was passed, the government took up the proposition and a large party of engineers has since been employed on the preliminaries of a great work of desert reclamation. The Shoshone river dashes down a narrow canyon, with jagged and perpendicular walls, and at its narrowest point the government has begun the construction of the highest dam ever built. It will cement together the two canyon walls for 240 feet above the stream bed and its foundation will go below the water line 88 feet additional, down to the solid bed rock. The stream, where it passes between these granite canyon walls, is but 65 feet wide and the dam will form a great lake of 5,000 acres, with a watershed of 1,250 square miles, and storing enough water to irrigate 150,000 acres through seven miles of formed from the grinding rocks subjected to enormous sure, and lastly the geological sulphur rocks, soft and ed, the result of ceasele of steam and hot water earth's bowels—all are wonderful profusion. Below the canyon which runs more peacefully, all mations are represented beds of cobble stones boulders over which they The cobble stones were once jagged rocks, detached water, frost and sun mountain bases and ground by river force u sharp corners have been polished away. A GIANT FIRE CRACK Watching the governmeers cutting a road along the canyon for the traction of supplies to build the 000 barrels of cement are needed—I observed that a big charge of dynamite burst with a roar echoed down the canyon with reverberations. Immediately long granite rock of so weight was torn from its hurled down into the river feet below.

NO CHANCE FOR LAND GRABBING This will cost about $25 an acre to be paid back to the government by the settlers under the business-like provisions of the irrigation law. The land itself is free under the home-stead act and has been reserved by Secretary Hitchcock from entry under the Desert and other land laws not requiring actual residence and home-building. Few such picturesque and wildly beautiful scenes can be found as this Shoshone canyon. The river is a succession of foaming, rushing rapids, the water coursing along in a deep green flood and then boiling over great rocks and boulders in a white surge. Only for a few hours each day can the sun find its way to the bottom of this deeply cut gorge, the mountain sides towering into the clouds two and three thousand feet. From above the dam site as one looks down at the engineers working on the foundations, directly underneath, they appear like mimic men. GREAT FORCES OF NATURE This Shoshone canyon and its surrounding mountains are one of nature's great handiworks. All has been cut out by the silver stream rushing in its bed below. For countless ages it has eaten its way through granite and limestone, wearing, wearing, wearing away. For centuries and ages it has flowed, ceaselessly and likewise uselessly on its way to join the flood of the Missouri; now it is to be harnessed and made to produce for man. A thousand farmers will make prosperous homes for themselves and families, and raise hurled down into the river feet below. Shatters of all directions and a great water rose like a geyser black depths of the cany sunlight in a majestic view.

NATIONAL IRRIGATE What does all this gre been cut out by the silver stream rushing in its bed below. For countless ages it has eaten its way through granite and limestone, wearing, wearing, wearing away. For centuries and ages it has flowed, ceaselessly and likewise uselessly on its way to join the flood of the Missouri; now it is to be harnessed and made to produce for man. A thousand farmers will make prosperous homes for themselves and families and raise an annual product of a couple or three million dollars. In the canyon proper the great forces of nature have wrought wonderfully. Enormous granite boulders have detached themselves from the mountains and rolled down thousands of feet, crashing their hundreds and thousands of tons into the rocky gorge. Here the river continually plays upon them, searching out the seams and splitting them up or wearing them away and polishing them smooth. THE ROCK PILE OF THE WORLD In the canyon's middle, below the dam site, the jungle of rocks in the narrow river bed appears as though a thousand blasts of giant powder had rent the mountain sides and tumbled every rugged projection into the depths below. The imperishable granite, gray, pink, and varicolored, oldest of the geological formations, made by the welding of various substances when the globe was a molten mass; the later lime-stones and black volcanic rocks, conglomerates also melted by great heat, the hard red sandstone and its white and brown contemporaries, The manufacturers Baking Powder have years of scientific exp. Every method of cake raising has been tively studied in this country. The result is a product in Royal Baking There is no substitute. The purity and efficiency Royal Baking Powder been commended by the authorities of the world. These facts mean that tant things to all hou from the grindings of other subjects to enormous presence and lastly the geyserites and our rocks, soft and honeycomb-like result of ceaseless spouting steam and hot water from the bowels—all are found in careful profusion. Now the canyon where the river more peacefully, all these forms are represented in the huge cobble stones and smaller bows over which the water plays. Cobble stones were themselves jagged rocks, detached by wind, frost and sun from their rain bases and rolled and held by river force until all their corners have been worn and dried away. A GIANT FIRE CRACKER Ching the government engineering a road along the side canyon for the transportation applies to build the dam—600 barrels of cement alone will be used. I observed the explosion of charge of dynamite, which with a roar echoing up and down the canyon with deafening operations. Immediately an obbranite rock of some 150 tons was torn from its base and down into the river a hundred foot low. Shatters of rock flew in sections and a great splash of rose like a geyser out of the depths of the canyon into the flat in a majestic white spray. This huge block of granite was baby addition to the family of rivers which had been detached by more giant forces of naturerown into the river bed.

Simply that the nation has wisely decided to use the money derived from the sale of western public lands to make its desert soil of value and furnish many home-building opportunities. It means that many men will find employment in the construction of dams and canals in every western community, and that finally as the works are completed, one by one, new farm homes will be established, adding to the nation's wealth and balancing our population now inclined cityward. For a thousand years longer this splendid dam site would likely stand idle before private capital would develop it to its magnificent full capacity, for the difficulties in the way of the engineers are many and unknown; but the government will meet all obstacles and overcome them and finally turn over to a thousand farmers a perfect job of engineering, comparable to the Peruvian Incas, the Egyptian Rameses or the British engineers of India—an enduring monument for all time. down into the river a hundred low.

Guy Elliott Mitchell. PUBLIC IS AROUSED The public is aroused to a knowledge of the curative merits of that great medicinal tonic, Electric Bitters, for sick stomach, liver and kidneys. Mary H. Walters of 546 St. Clair Ave., Columbus, O., writes: "For several months I was given up to die. I had fever and ague, my nerves were wrecked; I could not sleep, and my stomach was so weak from useless doctors' drugs that I could not eat. Soon after beginning to take Electric Bitters I obtained relief, and in a short time I was entirely cured." Guaranteed at W. B. Hutchinson's drug store; price 50c. TO ADVANCE THE PACIFIC STATES Co-operation Urged to Bring Region Forward in National Councils Seattle, August 18.—At a meeting of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, held here to-night, Rufus P. Jennings, of the California Promotion Committee, urged a closer cooperation of all the Pacific States and advocated an alliance of commercial organizations of the entire regions west of the Rocky Mountains, to define public sentiment for progress, so that the Pacific States Congressional representatives at Washington will be assisted in their efforts to bring the Pacific States to the front in national affairs. Mr. Jennings said. Most Important The manufacturers of Royal Baking Powder have had 40 years of scientific experience. Every method of bread-and-raising has been exhaustively studied in this country and world. The result is a perfect product of Royal Baking Powder. It is no substitute for it. The purity and efficiency of Royal Baking Powder have been recommended by the highest authorities of the world. These facts mean two important things to all housekeepers: First: that Royal Baking Powder is healthful and makes wholesome food. Second: that Royal Baking Powder makes food good to taste. ROYAL BAKING POWDER ABSOLUTELY PURE Home Markets Most Profitable "We must, however, look conditions squarely in the face. It is not the through traffic in Eastern and foreign-made goods that will bring to us the substantial benefits that should be ours, but it is the developing of our own resources and the marketing of our own productions that will build up and make prosperous this section of the country; and not merely the marketing of these products to foreign countries and to the Eastern States, but the Continued on Page 7
