NEW DAM BEING CONSTRUCTED IN CALIFORNIA.—By the tower in this picture may be measured the future height of Shasta Dam, a United States Government project, which will rise across the Sacramento River, regulating the flow of water throughout he great Central valley. What appears to be a Sluggish stream, two months ago was a raging flood which drove 6000 persons from their homos in the valley, inundated 400,000 acros of farm land and many towns, and caused about 15,000,000 dollars worth of damage. Irrigation and flood control besides power and negation, will be regulated on two rivers on completion of the dam —the Sacramento and the San Joaquin Rivers.
