3 In company with G. Q. Cannon & Frank J Cannon
& many others I went up Ogden Canyon to see the
works of the Great Power Company we visited the
Buildings in which both the wood & Steel Pipes
are to be Manufactured. The Machinery will
take the steel plad [plate] 25 feet long 12 feet wide an inch
thick & bend them up cold & make them into a
solid pipe the Holes are punched & rivited cold The
Ingineer says that water will leave the Lower End
of that pipe at the rate of 2 miles a Minute No one could
make a Dent in that water with an Iron bar
