The engineers' real difficulties, however, began when they tackled the eastern section, for it is here where the great | dam is situated. It was not a ques tion of merely diverting the waters of the river into another channel, but | of first curbing thé stream and then raising the level of the river over forty feet; and controlling the flow, This was accomplished by the erec- | "tion of a great composite dam across what is known as Horseshoe Bend, on the Pow river, | _ There is no engineering work that defhands such careful preliminary "investigations as dain-bui io i eularly when it comes to the storage of a large body of water.
