THE NEW WATER SYSTEM.
Plans Prepared for the Big Swan Lake


Plans Prepared for the Big Swan Lake
Reservoir.
Plans for the proposed system OF new
water works in Seattle are every day as
suming a more definite shape. Assistant
Engineer Erickson has drawn minute plans
for the works at Swan lake. including the
dam, the inlet. the crib and the tunnel.
The crib will be located near the lower
end and will stand in about twenty-five
feet of water In the CRIB will be q gate
which will be so geared that one man may
shut off all of the water from .he pipe line
If such thing Is needed at any time. The
iron gate will be 3l1x5 feet in size. On
leaving the lake a tunnel 5000 feet long
will he constructed, the ends of which will
be made Of masonry. This tunnel or con-
duit passing through the hill, viii be about
four feet in diameter.
Ii will require year to lay the pipe line
from swan lake 10 the city, and 1t will take
over three million feet of lumber TO con-
struct it. Each staye, which may be any
length. will have TO be planed. leveled and
coated with asphalt, and 1t may require .
wear to manufacture them.
Engineers Williams and Owens went
over the ground yesterday between the
Spring Hill reservoir and the high
press,,re reservoir to be located in the city
park, with view OF determining definitely
the route to be taken by the supply pipe.
In will be several weeks yet before Mr..
Williams will be ready TO make an official
report to the council.

A Dog as a Mail Carrier.

The way the dog became a mail carrier
was follows: One day the postmaster
wanted to send word to his brother Mt Bis
marck. but did not want to make the trip.
1t occurred to him TO try the dog. He
wrote n letter and tied 1t around the dog
neck. pointing the dogs nose towards Bis
marck and then told him to go. He
trotted off q short distance and then turned
about to see what else was wanted. Some
of the small boys showered stones at him
and he ran on to Bismarck. Next day he
returned with an answer tied on his neck
and he showed that he had been we'll
treated. The experiment was repeated.
each time with success and additional dig
nifty on the part of the dog.
As soon rs ii became known that Dorsey
could be depended upon, requests were
constantly made by the miners to send
their mail by him. The loads soon in.
creased, and it became evident that they
could not tie on all the letters. The miners
then ordered handsome little mail bag
and fitted 1t 10 the dogs shoulders. 1t Is
fastened around his chest by one strap and
around his body. back of the forelegs. bv
another. He has never missed a trim for
about three years or lost letter. Now.
when the stage comes in, he gets up.
stretches himself. walks to the postoffice
waits to have the mail strapped on him.
and starts off as soon as he is told ali is
ready. He will go a long way around To
avoid meeting stranger, seeming to realize
the Importance of his mission.

The snow Plant.

One thing that never fails to interest all
who see it, when ii is found on the noun
tain heights of the Sierras, is the snow
plant known to botanists as the Sarcodes
sanguinea. meaning blooded flesh. No
flesh or blood could be as exquisitely beau
tifui, imagine rosy and snow-tinted,
crowded hyacinth, from eight 10 twenty
inches in height, every miniature bell
wound about by rosy and frosted silver
ribbon, all topped by huge head of aspar-
agus in hoar frost and silver. The frosted
papilla Is very marked on every sepal and
bract. Though the whole translucent
spike is flushed with rose and carmine, the
petals are the deepest and most brilliantly
colored parts of the flower. which is five
parted, and each open one showing slightly
the stamens and pistiis.
There have been seen specimens bearing
eighty perfect flowers and pseudo bulb
twenty-five inches in circumference, brittle
almost as spun glass, and although solid rs
pineapple when first dug mp, dried away
to the size of the stem. ALI attempts at
cultivation have thus far failed, the bulbs
refusing to stand transpIanting and the
seeds to sprout. 1t was once said that they
would not survive below the level of the
summer snow line, but they have been since
seen almost covering the ground far below.
The snow banks seem, however, to protect
them from the winds sweeping among the
mountains, and they make their early
growth and development beneath the

The passions kill men sometimes even sud-

for even though not suddenly fatal. strong
passions shorten life. Strong bodied men
often die young-weak men live longer
