Over 100 men are at work building Government Dam No. 3, with its equipment of movable wickets, tremendous lock, operating machinery, power house" and lock houses. Dam No. 1 is that at Bellevue, or Davis Island,' and was built in 1877. Dam No. 9 is being built at the Merriman portion of the river, at old Agnew station on the Ft. Wayne road. Dam No. 4 is in course of construction at Legion- ville, near Gonway. This will back the water up to No. 3. No. 5 is at Merrill, a short distance below Beaver, Uncle Samuel's Dam No. 3 will cost $1,250,000, and will cross the Ohio at one of the very worst places in the river, namely, the Trap, a former terror to boatmen and coal shippers. During the week a representative of The Herald visited the scene of operations at Glen Osborne, for the benefit of the many readers of this paper who are interested in the great project at a heretofore quiet portion of the Valley. Veterans of Sewicldey can easily recall the days when there was no Osborne station, and ^_-__=_-_-________ :.lZ^X^J±Zi:S' when the land . thereabout was farmed by the late James McKown, father of Mrs. Gharles Atwell, and whose home was the venerable frame house used as an Italian boarding place at the McMillen lumber and coal yard. The dam building is a big job ably managed. Lieut. _G. R. Spaulding, of the U. S. A., is in charge, assisted by T. E. L. Lippsey, of Beaver Falls, a capable U. S. Engineer. Under this leadership 200 men should be employed, but workers are scarce and not over 120 are now busy. The hope entertained is that the dam, lock, etc., will be finished by Ghristmas, 1906, if the condition of the river permits. The novel plan was decided upon of generating electric power at No. 3, whereby to operate the lock machinery at this dam, and at Nos. 2 and 4. Upon careful investigation it was found impossible to completely insulate electric wires from injury by drift and ice carried by the river. So this force was given up, and the ponderous machinery at*No. 3 will be run by power generated by duplicate 285 H. P, Westinghouse gas engines, located in the power house, which is the central structure of the three substantial brick, stone-trimmed structures, conspicuous at Glen Osborne. The other buildings are the lock keepers' houses, on concrete founda- ■ (Continued on page 15.) -,'!,;,#-•■/ .-Ml-
