A Thrilling Story of Mans Bashfulness
and Woman's Tact.
Softly shone the subdued light of the SOL
itary gas jet in the parlOr of the Bidder
back mansion on the avenue, and soft was
the voice of the abashed young Erasmus
Shackelford, who sat on the edge of his
chair, mopped his heated face and smiled
with a kind of papier-mache smile at the
enhancing young woman, in the dazzling
aureole of whose auburn hair he had fiut-
tered in agonizing captivity for months
and months.
"Miss Viola" he said, clearing his throat
and speaking with every infection of a
man about to say something, "you will not
be surprised, presume, if If l express
the-the feeling, the-the opinion, as it
were, that-that it's pretty hot this even
ingP"
Erasmus gave his face another frenzied
swipe with his handkerchief and subsidized
into palpitating silence.

that brought large and ecstatic lump of
something or other up into his throat, az

The agitated youth made another effort
to crush down the lump in his throat.
"And II feel, Miss Bil-Viola-as if
were IA kind of-of observation myself
that was getting tiresome Haven't
been-been observed here little too oftenp
Do seem to be IA chestnut" as he
moved his handkerchief over his glowing
face in tremulous jabs his voice took on a

MOntOpOlls Bridge Road

Macadamize the East Sixth street
and Montopolis bridge road, it is the
main thoroughfare over which the
prod acts of the richest and most pop
ulated portions of Travis county are
marketed. The travel on the same is
already enormous, and no other road
than macadamized one of the high
est standard is able to stand the
pressure, and less SO when the Mon
topolis bridge is thrown open to travel.
1t is the shortest and most direct
route to the trade center of the city.

A Clear MONOPOLY,

The other forenoon messenger boy who
was going up Woodward avenue stopped
for moment in the shade of one of the
Circus park naples. lie was sopping up
the sweat on his hands and face when an
ice wagon came along.
"Gimme me hunkw called the boy.
The driver shook his head.
at may prevent sunstroke," continued
the boy.
'For ten cents" replied the driver.
"Then femme ride.
The driver shook his head.

"For five cents" grimly replied the
driver
"That's clear monopoly, and here goes
to down itf said the boy, and he hit the
driver in the back with stone and escaped.

stability. To provide for the possible
height of spring or other floods, the
whole crest of the dam will be formed
so that the water may flow over
it and the down stream face will be
built in such manner, and to such
lines and curves, as will tend to con-
duct the overflow to the lower river
without damage to the stability of the
structure. 1t is estimated that the
highest flood, as to which any informa-
ton can be obtained, might give a
depth of water of fifteen or sixteen feet
over the crest for short time. Such
possible flow will be provided for in
the construction of the dam. The
exact lines of the profile and the de-
tailed methods of construction are
now being determined in consultation
with Mr.. Frizell.
The pond formed by the dam will
extend some thirty miles up the river
but its flow will cover very moderate
amount of cultivated property, and
therefore the land damages will be
quite light.
1t is proposed that the water for
city purposes shall be pumped to a
reservoir upon one of the hills near
the city. The pumps will be run by
the water power from the hydraulic
canal. This method of supplying the
city is entirely practicable and can be
carried out economically.
l have examined the deposits of
limestone near the city and have
also visited the remarkable formation
of granite at Granite mountain. |
am of opinion that the structure can
be built within the prices estimated
by Mr.. Frizell.
The result of the construction of
the proposed dam, with its pond of
pure water covering some eight square
miles will, in my opinion, be:
First-The provision to the city for
all future time of supply of excellent
water, IN such quantities that it can
be used not only for drinking purposes
and for safety from confagrations, but
also can be, with considerable profit
able return. sold for light power asfor
electric light, elevators, etc.
Second-A lake of pure water some
thirty miles in length and of variable
width. This will be most valuable
addition to the attractive features of
the city.
Third-The provision OF water
power which will bring to the city
great manufactures.
The amount of power to be de-
veloped from this dam of 60 feet in
height above low water is as great as
the permanent water power now ex-
listing at Lowell, or Lawrence or Man
chester. 1 need not remind you what
has been done at those places by their
water power.
This city will have, if it constructs
this dam, a constant power equal to
either of those places. That there
will follow development of industries
greater than one cares to anticipate
seems to me assured, if this great
water power be concentrated here, in
the midst of this fertile region.
In accordance Win your lnstructlons
/ am still to examine with Mr.. Frizell
the special details of the various parts
of the work as designed by him, and
to advise with him as to the forms of
contract and specifications.
Very respectfully,
