Uncle £il Visits
At Boulder Dam
Dear nieces and nephews, Un
cle Gil was one of thousands of
sight seers who viewed the most
wonderful engineering feats ever
attempted in the world last week.
The mammouth project known to
the world as Boulder Dam
Now, dear friends, Uncle Gil is
going to tell you in a series of ar- |
tides all he has been able to finti
out about this wonderful engineer
ing feat.
Chartering a car, Unde Gil in
company with Messrs. H. Lee, F.
Gardner, L. Johnson, and H- White
side, motored from Las Vegas, No
vada, down through the town
known as Boulder City, a town
which grew in a year from a deser
waste into a community of a thou
sand homes, a dozen dormitories,
four churches, a grade school,
si.ops, stores, restaurants, garages,
a 700 seat theatre, tourist camps
recreation halls, r. beautiful hotel
and many other trade facilities. Af
ter viewing this b autifully govern
ment owned town, the party jour
t neyed on to Boulder Dam, where
the following facts were learned
about America’s foremost dam.
That the. dam is 727 feet in height,
the third largest piece of construc
tion in the world. The other two
being, Eiffel Tower, Paris, France.;'
which is 948 feet and the Empire
State building of New York City,
which towers 1,248 feet in the air.
’ ,If all the visitors to Boulder Dam
each day came by air they would
fill to capacity a fleet of 130 ten
passenger air transportation.
The 4,400,00 cubic yards of con
crete used in Boulder Dam nnd its
adjoining structures would be suf
ficient to bild a concrete walk four
feet wide and two and three-four
ths inches thick, entirely around
the earth at the equator.
Every two and one third minute
of the day and night, for 625 days,
a giant bucket holding 16 tons of
concrete was poured into Boulder
Dam
It would take a freight r lin,
160 miles long to haul the • ment
used in mixing the concrete for
Boulder Dam.
Built in a pyramid on the base
of the Empire State Building, the
concrete used in Boulder Dam
would rise 2% times higher than
this giant building.
If all the dirt moved in the con
structions of the dam were hauled
by huge dump trucks, there would
bo enough loads to form continu
ous simultaneous truck parades
from Boulder City to New York,
New Orleans, San Francisco, Seat
tle. and Chicago.
« Now, my dear friends, I invite
you to read next weeks Guide and
learn more about Boulder Dam, the
world’s greatest engineering struc
ture

The circus lawyers have filed

The Stream of Life
There are millions of people in this
gray stream of Life,
Passing onward in search of some
goal
Some pause by the way, midst the
tulmult and strife,
As though seeking contentment for
their souls.
There are scars that have healed,
there are tears that have dried,
There ure memories full of remorse,
And some as they pause conacienoe
stricken have tried,
To alter a new trodden course.
As this stream passes on countless
years without end,
With all actions, recorded tit. last.
So the things we do. now, as our
life road we trend
Are indelibly stamped on the past..
