Fear Expreased that Solid' Found (ion la Impoaalble, Owing ta Peculiar River Bed, ftsrial ta The Indtaaasoils News.) SOUTH BEND, lud April 25 Tha prospect of a twenty ona foot dan across the Sr. Joseph river, neAr tba Elkhart county Una.

for which extensive over Cow tracts nave already been purchased, and many prepaxatlona made, la clouded by expressions of eonveraaat with river condition la this locality. One of these la Samuel Louts; ex councilman, ex water worka trustee, ex police commissioner, and a man frho has bad mora experience In bulldlnr 'new dams and la replacing old dama than a iiy otker man in northern Indiana. Ii declares that the construction of a twenty ona root stono dam at any point on this river tbreatena a second Jofanstowa calamity, only with much mora of a certainty of Its traurrencav Tber is na bedrock, be asserts, on which to place tha foundations of such an Immense structure. Tba i taw low tev riTst vwiuiw v. rraveL clay and quicksand, and no one knows where to find, the quicksand, which le of the most treacherous located in pockets.

Tha water falling over such a dam can not be prevented rrom washing out such a and, to a great depth. Estimating the river at feet wide, the pressure aralnst a twecty one foot dam would be 4.1S7.7U0 pounds against tha surface of tha dam. and the lateral preeaur per equare foot L2Ti. With a current of five or six mile aa hour, thla pressure would be rreatly augmented Back ef this dam must be a nlntvmile lake of backwater. In soma place nearly ona mile wide.

i Mr. Louts and other Insist that ta build a dam which would stand thla pressure la weii nigh impoaalble. Tba result of tha breaking away of a dam like thla would be to aend down through, the St. Joe valley a body of water at the start twenty one feet high, and th pressure would be great iy augmented by rloatlng debris. They si lege that It would not leave a factory at Mlshawaka, 8outii Bend, Niles or Buchanan, at a point any where near the river frdntr It would also sweep away th water works at tha town htmed and would carry! a war every other obstruction, causing loa cf life and property Interests too teT ful to contemplate and impossible to tnputa In dollars and cents.
