Masonry Work at Dam Is Halted
Stop Is Only Temporary, to
Complete Excavations
and Open Qnarry.
BY K. H. BALDWIN
Construction Engineer.
ELEPHANT BDTTB, N. K.. Dec. 17.
In accorfauee with the program
indicated in & freeedinfe report,
Eiasonry work on the dam was tempo
rarily suspended Dec 1, and all avail
able forces coaeeatrated in excavating
for the foundation or in quarry devel
opment. - - ,
The placing of masonry continued
through November without special inci
dent, the rate of progress being about
the same as daring toe previous month
When concreting was suspended, the
block being worked on, at the down
stream side, bad reached the level of
the river bottom, while the upstream
side was several feet lower. "This dif
ference in elevation of the two sides of
the dam is intentional, the top being
earned o a downward slope of about
3 percent towards the resenc , for the
purpose of providing a suitabS ir.d with
tiie succeeding layer. The total masonry

With the suspension- of masonry work
a temporary reorganization of forces
was made. The quarry gang was di
vided, about half going to the excava
tion, the balance remaining in quarry
for development work. All new men
and those that eould be spared from
other work were tmt on excavation.
This work is being carried in three
shifts, of about the same proportions,
the total being about 325 men. Prac
tically the only difference in the shift?
is that on the second, or day shift,
teams are being used to excavate sand,
gravel and shale from East abuntment.
It is planned to use them on this
work during the balance of this month,
hy which time the remaining excava
tion wiH lie mainly rock, and the teams
will have to be used elsewhere.
New KoBndation Work.
A considerable area of new founda
tion has been prepared, and concreting
will be resumed during the latter part
of the week, mils ares, adjoins the
block just abandoned, and extends for
S0 feet along downstream toe, but
does not include the out-off trench nor
central portion adjacent to it. which
will be excavated while the balance Is
being concreted.
On account of caving banks and slid
ing rocks, the channeling machine had
to be removed from the trench and
troublesome rock exoavated. The rock
adjacent to this trench loked very good
when first uncovered; its surface was
Bard and waterworn, but upon testing
it was found to be much shattered and
loose beneath, consequently It is being
excavated to a depth of from 15 to 20
feet, at which depth excellent rock ia
being found.

DEADLY DANGER
IN DISEASED
KIDNEYS
A DISEASE WHICH IS
DEEADEDBYALL
Tie appaling death rate from kid
ney disease is due in most case3 to the
fact that the little kidney troubles are
usually neglected until they become
serious. The slight symptoms gire
place to chronic disorders and the suf
ferer goes gradually into the grasp of
diabetes, dropsy, Brighfs disease, gravel
J or some other serious form of kidnev
complaint.

Dr. G. Allison Hinton no doubt is
one of America's greatest Kidney Spe

treated for this most dreaded of all dis
eases, has so fitted him with his vast
experience, diligent study and research,
that he can tell in a "Very few minutes

Kidney diseases are allowed to go
without proper treatment, it takes onlv
a short time until their functions are
destroyed and all, hopes for recovery are
forever gone, the "sufferer dying a most
horrible death, losing their mind anc
becoming helpless for months before re

If vou have even the slightest dis

Dr. Hinton and have T$w condition

or advice, and it may be the means of
