Boulder Dam a Miracle Of Modern Engineering
(Continued from page 1)
Colorado river region the dam was dedicated as the 'Boulder Dam."
To illustrate the gigantic proportions of the great Boulder Dam project, Mr Kirkpatrick cited many interesting things about the mechanical operations employed in the construction of the Dam.
"Before any construction of the dam was begun," he said, "it was necessary to fortify the walls of the canyon because of the possibility of cracks far back from the face of them. The fortifying of the walls required that holes be drilled to a depth of 185 feet back into the walls. Cement was then forced back into these holes thereby filling any cracks and making the walls of lava as nearly solid as human ingenuity could make them.
Molded in Hugh Blocks
**Molded in Huge Blocks**
"It would have been impossible to pour the cement into forms for the dam all in one big lump because cement in the process of setting, generates so much heat that it would have required 400 years for the large mass to have become solid. Therefore the cement is molded in huge blocks. The blocks are so large, however, that it is necessary to run ice cold water through the interior while it is solidifying. If this

WHATEVER THE OCCASION
When flowers are in order you know they are correct and lovely when arranged by Ward's.
Dim in the shifting mist of early dawn,
Gem-sparking in the noon-day's yellow light,
Half-hidden in the star-stabbed dusk of night.
The long low lilac hedge half spans the lawn.
How many springs have seen your branches break At April's bidding into perfumed maze Of subtle lilac loveliness—a haze Of lifting mystic fragrance in its wake.
THE LILAC HEDGE ON OREAD HILL
How many hands have touched your shimmering face,
What could you tell if you might speak—what lore
Of love and joy and hope of youth, of oure
And now, you've listened to in silent grace.
You could tell us all of life—a grave or two
Perhaps has light the felt caress of just
One blossom from your store—upon its dust
Tears may have mingled with your blossom's dew.
When I am very old, I think, and friend
And happening of my youth are dim to me,
In all its old, still beauty I shall see
That long low lilah Ornamented

April 26,1918.

he intense heat generated, would ex-

"Large steel pails are used to transport the cement from the two cement mixers to the required location. These steel pails carry a maximum load of 14 tons. The workmen are so skilled that a pal is dumped every two and one-half minutes. Seven thousand and 24 hours one particular day," continued Mr. Kirkpatrick, "a record that will probably stand for years."
Shows Pictures of Project
Some highly interesting statistics and pictures were presented by Mr. Kishbir Barki, designing the size and cost of the project.
The Dam will be 730 feet high above foundation rock, making the highest dam in the world. The water surface of the river will be raised 584 feet. The construction has now reached a height of 360 feet. The length of the crest will be 125 feet. It will be 45 feet thick at the top and 650 feet thick at the bottom.
James O. Greenleaf, 31, T31, recently opened a low office in McPherson.
Authorized appropriations for the entire project are not to exceed $165,000,-000. This amount is divided as follows: Dam and reservoir; $70,000,000; power plant; $12,000,000; American Canal; $38,200,000; and interest during construction; $17,700,000.
