Up\nto the inception of the dams the\nflow of these rivers was retarded at\ntimes by high sea tides causing overflow over the low-lying lands, thereby preventing proper drainage. It\nis to prevent the flow of the tide\nwaters up the rivers that the dams\nhave been constructed. The automatic steel gates in them close\nagainst the tides, and open at low\ntide, thus allowing the rivers to\nempty freely and quickly, insuring\ngood drainage at all times for the\nentire dyking district.\nThe Nicomekl dam has been all\nstraightforward work because of the\nhard formation of the ground, but\nmuch trouble has been encountered\nand overcome on the Serpentine.\nThere no less than 450 forty-foot\npiles were driven for a foundation\nfor the concrete work while lines of\nprotective sheet piling both above\nand below the dam have been put in.\nHandsome Bridges.\nBoth structures are on the Elgin\nroad and seen from it are very handsome bridges with iron rails at the\nsides and each adorned with an artistic tablet suitably inscribed. They\nare one and a half miles apart and\nthe Elgin road will form the dyk-*\nproposed in the scheme. There is\nan 18-foct fall in the extremes of\nthe tide and the base of the Serpentine dam is eight feet below sea\nlevel, its top 21 feet above, while\nthose of tiie Nicomekl are respectively six feet below and 21 feet above.\nOn the upstream side the batter is\none and a half inches to the foot, on\nthe downstream half an inch to the\nfoot. There are five sets of three-\nton gates and one set of seven-ton\ngates, giving one 20 foot and five\n10-foot openings In each. The Nicomekl dam is 240 feet long, the Serpentine 180 feet. Log booms have\nlieen placed both up and down\nstream and watchmen will prevent\ntne jaming of the gates by any refuse.\n.Material Used.\nSome idea of tho work may be obtained from the estimate of materials used, as follows: Wet excavation, 22,SOO cubic yards; earth fill,\n5,300 cubic yards; cement, 5,000\nbarrels; gravel, 2,840 cubic yards;\nsand. 1,120 cubic yards; concrete,\n3,550 cubic yards; steel, 151,000\npounds; iron bolts, 51 tons; bronze\ncastings, 9,000 pound\"; total piling,\n40,000 lineal feet; total timber, 1,-\n241,000 board measure.\nTELLS BRITAIN OF\nLOYALTY OF B.C,\nPremier McBride in London Says\nBritish Columbians to a Man\nAre Behind Borden's Policy.\nLONDON, Aug. 28.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe Morniiig\nPost publishes a column interview\nwith Sir Richard McBride, premier\nof British Columbia, in the course\nof which Sir Richard refers to the\nquestion of the navy, railway development and finance.\nSpeaking as to the attitude of\nBritish Columbia toward the Borden\nnaval policy, Sir Richard said they\nwere all, to a man, behind Premier\nBorden, and he was certain that the\nmore the people of Canada pondered\nover this question, the stronger becomes their realization of their obligation to undertake their share of\nthe Empire's naval responsibilities.\nThe Borden policy, he thinks,\nshould and must prevail, in spite of\nits temporary set back as a result of\nthe action of the Senate.\n\"Recently,\" said Sir Richard,\n\"Vancouver was visited by His Majesty's ship New. Zealand, and then\nthe whole country worthily celebrated the event which, in the opinion of\nsuch a patriotic people, was one of\nImperial importance.\n\"I think that the Admiralty are\nto be commended for their good\njudgment in sending this magnificent ship to our waters.\"\nSir Richard spoke in appreciative\nterms of the far-sighted policy of\nSir Thomas Shaughnessy in keeping\npace with the growing requirements\nof the Western zones of the Dominion railway traffic.\nEverything should go well, he\nsaid, by the time the Panama Canal\nis opened. British Columbian railway development will have so far\nadvanced that the Pacific Coast province will be able to take a large\nmeasure of commercial and trading\nresults that must follow from the\ncompletion of that giant undertaking.\n\"Then we shall be able to claim\na place in the industrial world second to none.\" he declared.\n\"While the tightness of the money\nmarket has materially affected the\ndevelopment of some of the towns\nwhich had embarked upon public\nworks, and had to considerably curtail them, there is no doubt that\nwhen the monetary situation is ?e-\nlaxed there will be a r;*vival of activities along this line.\"\nThe Royal Bank ol Canada\nIncorpora ted 1869.\nCapital Authorized aa- \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nCapital Paid Up ' J\"'' \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"'0\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD<\"\nRest ... \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD !'':,uo'000\nAggregate Assets, One Hundred and Seventy-Five M n\nDollar: \"m\nIt is the aim of the management of this Bank to make eva\nposltor welcome, and to give the best possible attention to hi. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD *' de\"\naffairs. *\"s -lni\">cial\nSAYINGS DEPARTMENT.\nAccounts may be opened with deposits of One Dollar and Un\nInterest paid or credited at the highest current rates, 0n Mnv ,, ,ar(lli-\nNovember 30th each year.

Many thousands of dollars have already been paid out and\nlarge sums are being dispensed daily\nby the various canners.\nWith practically no sockeyes in tbe\nriver and most of the fishermen and\ncannery staffs idle, there is tini. to\ntake stock of the \"big\" year and\nwhet it means to this district and\nthis city particularly. The total estimated pack is 800,000 cases tor the\nFraser this season. The fishermen\nget approximately $2.50 a case, it\ntaking about 13 1-2 sockeyes to fill\na case. At 2.50 per case, 800,000\ncases mean $2,000,000 to the fishermen. In addition to this there is\nthe big payroll of the cannery help\nto be considered.\nAb the situation stands, it was\nauthoritatively estimated that half a\nmillion cases had been put up on\nthe river up to last Monday and a\nconservative estimate gives another\nhundred thousand for this week so\nfar, so that 600,000 cases, or three-\nquarters of the pack, is up with the\nend of the first run of the year.\nVery little doubt is entertained\namong canners and fishermen that\ntbe full pack of sockeyes will be\nmade and the \"fall run,\" due about\nSeptember 15, is expected to yield\nthe necessary fish. This second run,\nfrequently a very heavy one, is a\nfeature of \"big\" years.\nWhile a proportion of the $2,000,-\n000, owing to the large number ot\nJapanese engaged in fishing, does not\nfind its way into circulation in this\ncountry, all the white, half-breed\nand Indian fishermen, who together\noutnumber the Japanese, spend their\nmoney in the district and New Westminster gets a large share of it. Now\nthat the fishing is slack regular\nstrings of fishermen and their\nramilies may be seen carrying purchases to their boats every day and'\nall day. In fact the throwing of\nsuch a sum of money into circulation\nso quickly cannot help but stimulate\nall branches of business and appreciably relieve the money stringency\nlocally.\nReferring to the Japanese, while\nthese men undoubtedly ship money to\nJapan directly as remittances and indirectly by their purchases of Japanese goods, a large proportion of\nwhat even they make finds its way\neither directly or circuitously into\nlocal circulation. Also, as already\nsuggested, the' pay rolls of the canneries will greatly swell the amount\nof money that will go into circulation, much of it almost immediately.\nThere are many channels through\nwhich the fishing industry poofs\nmoney into the community. Some*\nof the streams are perhaps only\nsmall, but their combined volume\nmust be considerable. As an instance may be mentioned a cause of\ndisbursement that, lR*e many others,\nmight not occur to the citizen not\ndirectly connected with the industry. It is this: Almost daily each\ncannery is notifying Its insurance\nagents to increase the amount of Insurance carried as tlie stock of canned salmon increases. Tliis means\na bigger premium and more commission to the insurance agent. And\nin many other ways, usually unconsidered, this big local industry exerts\nits beneficial influence on local busl-\nFind the Finder\nIf you found a pure* your first\n(rnpulae would bo to look In tho\n1 Lost on* Found \" oolun.no of\nour papor.\nIf you havo lost s pars* ttbn't\nyou think the finder would do tho\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDa me.\nIf you wish to find tho finder\nuse our Classified Want Ado.\nTHE DELTA TIMES\nCONDENSED A.DVBRTI_IBM__NTB '.\nFor S-ile, For Exchange.
