To give an example: If ego be the

THE GALEN ROAD.

The citizens are beginning more
generally to agitate tue question of
building the Galen and logo roads
the coming summer, thus securing an
outlet to the famous Judith country.
AS we have previously noted, Nei-
hart is the nearest railroad point to
the famous Judith country, Lewis
town being fourteen miles ear to
Neihart than to Arlington, her pres
ent shipping point. Neihart should
enjoy the benefit of all the south Ju-
dith trade. The construction of these
roads, and the building of stockyards
at Neihart would draw the nocks and
herds, and the tons upon IONS Of wool
and grain to this city for shipment.
Commissioner Tierney recognizes
the prodigious advantages to follow
the opening of these roads, and in
conversation with IA HERALD reporter
said: ~ look upon the proposition in
the light of an investment; and as

build these roads and in two years

For moro than 100 years the sci
entists of the Old and New World
have been figuring out the age of the
great falls. Elliott in 1890 fixed the
age at SIS, 900 years; Lyell in 1910
claimed the falls could not be over
IS, 600 years; Woodward in 1886 even
reduced the figure to y, 900 years,
and still more recently Gilbert, after
learned arguments about the matter,
estimated their age at 81 centuries
Now Professor Spencer comes for
ward and says that all calculations
SO far had been based upon the re-
Progressive movement of the soil
through the action of the water.
While this recession is nearly regu-
lar, he adds a new element of calcula,
tion-that is, the different phases OF
the formation of the river itself and
it's greater or lesser force of erosion
eXerted both on river bed and banks
Spencer argues that the river has ex.
listed for about 80, 900 years. During
LOCO years or more it had drained
the Erie basin without having form
ed a cascade. The waters of LAX;
Ontario getting lower and lower, tbs
falls resulted, but were formed slow

their present height.
