THE GEN CITY.

Nuggets of News Prom the Lively GRllatin
Valley Town
The following newsy items are taken
from the BoZeman Chronicle.
There never was time in the history Of
Bozemsn when its citizens were so general
ly confident in regard TO the future as the
present. Usually some croakers can be
found, but at the present writing they fail
TO show up. Everyone who comes to BOze-
man at once notices the general hopeful
feeling ana soon pRrtskes thereof. This is
the way it should be, and those upon the
outside, who were unaware Of the magni-
tnde Of the valley which surrounds the city
and the material resources which will build
il up, are now willing 10 admit that BOZe-
man is to be one Of the leading cities Of the
state of Montana.
An article was published in the INDIE
PENDENT last week stating that Mr.. Story
was try ing 10 hinder the work Of putting
in the water works. Mr.. Lyon, engineer OF
tie company, was interviewed regarding
this, and informed US that 70 the contrary,
Mr.. Story had granted the company every
courtesy possible He had allowed them
TO use his grounds, his sidetrack, and in
many ways aided the construction of The
work.
Th0s. Jones, prOspectOr, well known
in this part of the country, died suddenly
st the residence of VIM. Blaine, at Middle
creek on Friday. Mr.. Blaine was obliged
to be- at court, during the day and left
Jones, who was complaining slightly OF
illness. Mr.. Blaine returned at 2 o'clock
and found him dead. Jones left a team of
horses; but nothing that would tell of his
relatives and II Is possible that they will
n yer know OF his death. He was buried
on Saturday at Bozeman.
In the case OF John Work against the
Northern Pacific railroad company, tried
10 the United States district court last
week. for loss sustained by the killing Of
sheep. the Jury awarded the plaintiff Sl.2OO
damages. The sheep In question were run
into by a snow plOw on the defendants
road near Mission a year ago last winter.
LOwenski, the hunter, had whole
busbel of fun with grizzly bear two
weeks ago, and Just got down from the
mountains to tell about il. lie was out
hunting when he was attacked by a bear of
moDstrOUs size. Before could get action on
his gun, the bear had him down and wes
clawing him with all the strength he could
muster. LOweDski's dog appeared upon
the scene and attacked the bear from the
rear, causing him 10 let 20 his hold, while
LOwenski reached for his gun and shot his
antagonist. LOWenskt was so badly in
jured that he could not move and conse-
quently remained during the night with
the dead bear. It is just much as he can
do to move around now, but his wounds
are rapidly healing.
Nothing has as yet been done about cele-
brating the Fourth Of July in Bozeman. II
Is thought that the militia will be asked 10
will be held in honor of the day d the
meeting Of the constitutional convention.
A similar celebration will be held at Bis
marck, the capital OF Dakota.

JoHNsTowN, June IA. M. Welling.
ton, with f. p. Burt, associate editor of the
Engineering News, of New York, has COM
pleted an examination of the dam which
caused the great disaster. Wellington
says the dam was IN every respect of very
inferior construction and a kind wholly
unwarranted by the good engineering
practices of thirty years ago. Both the
original and reconstructed dams were of
earth only, with no heart wall, but only
riprapped on the slopes. The original
dam, however, was made in rammed and
watered layers which still show distinctly
in the wrecked dam. The new end merely
was 70 all appearance simply
dumped ia like an ordinary railroad fill, or
IL raInmed shows no evidence of good
effects from it. Much of the old part is
standing intact while the adjacent parts of
the new works are wholly carried of.
There Is no central wall of puddles or ma
sonry either on the new or old dam. The
original discharge pipes at the foot of the
dam had been permanently closed when
reconstructed, and this, while a minor H. at
ter compared 10 others mentioned, further
reduced the possible rate of maximum
discharge The net effect of all there
differences of condition was that the dam
as lt stood was not much safer against ex-
cessive floods, apart from its inferior con-
structiOD, than the original dam would
have been with crest only three and one
half to four feet high above the bottom of
the rock, instead of seven feet. A large
amount of old riprapping and slope walls
still remain intact, and is of excellent quail
ity. Ii does not appear there was any
great amount of leakage through the dam
before il broke. The destruction came
from the water flowing over the top.
Wellington said that no engineer of known
and good standing for such work
could possibly have been engaged in IL,
since in the particulars mentioned 1t vio-
lated the most elementary and universally
understood requirements of good practice.
The estimates OF the original dam indi-
cate il was made about half of earth and
half of rock, but If so there was little evil
dence of il in the broken dam. The rip
rapping was merely a skin on each face.
with more or less loose spaulS mixed with
the earth. The dam was seventy-twO feet
above the water and twenty feet wide on
top. The rock throughout was about one
foot below the surface. The earth was of
pretty good material for such n dam, il it
was TO be built at all, being of a clayey
nature, making a good puddle. To this the
fact of Its standing intact since 1881 must
be ascribed, as no engineer of standing
would have ever tried to so construct IL
The fact that the dam was reconstructed
after over twenty years abandonment,
made 1t especially hard Oh the older part
Of the dam to Withstand the pressure of
