i Ft. Peck Dam to Save Rich Soil _ From Ravages of Missouri Ri ‘This is the third’ of four stor- fes on the great power, irriga- tion, and navigation projects of the northwest, which are to be inspected by President Roosevelt on his way back to Washington. | » Glasgow, Aug. -1—At Ft. Peck, U. 8. Army engineers are going back to the days of the Mound Builders. ‘The great dam that will halt the Upper Missouri near here amounts to building a massive - artificial hill four miles long, 230 feet high, and nearly half a mile wide at the base. It won't look much like a dam when President Roosevelt passes through on his short motor trip of 23 miles to the dam site from this tiny town of 2000 which is the metropolis of all the surrounding maze of buttes and “bad lands.” : Aside from the branch-like rail- road built to join the dam site to the main line of the Northern Pa- cific at Wiota, and’ the million-dollar railway trestle tha: had to be set up .. On piling across the muddy Missouri, ‘ the ‘site presents a pretty desolate . Scene even today. é The jackrabbits, coyotes, antelope, . and timid deer have mostly been . @riven out by the axemen who went through the section above the dam site clearing brush and spindling second-growth trees and leaving an absolutely barren waste where the huge lake will back up 175 miles be- , hind its eaihen barrier. ;- GLAD TO SELL LAND The few settlers were easy to dis- place, for their farms were isolated, ; and they readily agreed to sell out to Uncle Sam. ‘They sold out, and - went to work on the dam. So did +, 5,000 others, mostly natives of east- etn Montana, who needed work badly, . what with drouth and short crops . and low prices. Labor actually on the site is get- 2, ting more than half of the money :--S8pent, and another quarter goes to labor indirectly affected. Many of them live now in New ‘Deal, the town which has been mush- rooming below the dam site. It has no mayor, health officer, or police, but it has a “head man,” C. W. Whis- ennand, a farmer in this section for ‘many years. To date there are a hardware store, drug store, bakery, garage, laundry, service station, bar- ber shop, meat market, two restaur- ants and a theater. New Deal is separate, of course, - from the regular government “town” «- Of Pt. Peck, which has been built as official quarters for foremen, en- gineers, and laborers on the dam. -.. SHORELINE OF 2500 MILES How came army engineers to choése si-this desolate spot for a $60,000,000 x dam? As with all big dam develop- ments, nature herself really chooses the site. And this one was built to * order. A connecting range of buttes par- allels the Missouri for miles above this point, far from the river banks. They converge on the river, and here the Missouri flows through a bottle- neck between them. * All the engineers have to do is close that neck with dirt, and the natural basin behind it will fill with water.
