Valley Wheelmen Likely to Take a
Hand In Election.
An Iraie Parent Comes on Scene in Time
10 Step E.opement.

The Natick public school commenced
its fall term Monday morning.
The River Point hand engine company
have decided not TO attend the firemen's

The officiousness OF the Warwick con-
stables in arresting bicyclists for riding
on the alleged sidewalks may turn out
blessing In disguise and ultimately re-
suit in an improvement In the towns
highways which 1t is now impossible to
secure. The bicylists are very wroth at
the manner i'm which they have been used
and are inquiring why law should be
passed which will prevent them from rid
ing on the footpaths on the country
roads while teams OF all descrip-
tions are allowed to drive over
the same paths with impunity. There are
at present nearly three thousand wheel
men in the town OF Warwick and a mcve-
ment is on foot to form an organization
for their mutual benefit and protection.
The cyclists are much incensed at the
manner In which their protests against
the present bicycle ordinance have been
received by the present town council and
threaten to make theis strength felt at
the next election unless somo change Is
made in the law which now gives every
"cheap cop" who is out OF funds a
chance to replenish his pocketbook at
their expense.
In Coventry yesterday an angry parent
made his appearance and put sudden
end 10 a romantic elopemont. For some
time lad and Iassie have cast sleeps
eyes at each other In the quiet village OF
Oneco, Just over the Connecticut line. AS
time passed on the attachment grew
stronger, and finally the lovers held clan
destIne meetings, with a wary eye always
open for the pater familias, who did not
approve of the match. Last Monday
affairs reached crisis and the lovers re-
solved to elope and find minister who
would make them one Accordingly
they quietly left their respective
homes, and with large stock of love
and a small amount of money started
down the railroad track toward Rhode
Island. They walked all night and
arrived at Coventry early in the morning
where they waited for the train for
Providence. The train came and as the
happy couple were about to board it the
angry parent made his appearance and
after administering a SOUND drubbing to
the prospective Bridegroom forcibly
carried the weeping maid back to her
home in Moosup.

mile. The members Of the construction
gang had to be as expert as axmen az
they were llnesmen, for when timber
was encountered a path OF 200 feet on
each side Of the line had TO be cleared
in order that the wires might not be
broken when trees were blown over by
the terrific blasts which at times prevail
in that region. A great deal Of the COM
parative slowness OF the installation was
owing to the inability Of the workmen to
labor In such a rarefis I atmosphere. At
one point the wires were strung at an ef-
ovation of 1900 feet above sea level In
such an altitude the linemen soon be-
came completely tired: after he has
climbed two or three poles he has to take
long rest to recuperate his energies.
The preparation of the holes for the
poles. which would have been tedious in
similar ground even in an ordinary at
mosphere. was an especially slow and IA
tiguing operation. 1t was often necessary
to blast a hole for the pole by the use of
giant powder, and an examiner. who had
had an extensive experience with explo-
sives, was assigned to the job. The dig
sing OF one pole hole would sometimes
occupy him for a whole day working
honestly. Over 300 pounds of powder
were used on the line for this purpose.
When the Continental divide was reach
ed the poles had to be abandoned. and the
which was buried in a two-foot trench
for a distance of 1900 feet. The advisable
ity OF abandoning the aerial construction
at this point was demons trated by the
experience OF the company that maintain
the Denver and Leadville line At one
point on that line. Mosquito Pass. the
poles were originally set 100 feet apart
As soon as the wires were covered with
sleet they promptly snapped and the line
was useless. Double the number Of poles
was then used, with the same result The
space between the poles was then re-
duced to 10 feet. bpt as soon as the sleet
came the line was swept down fat Even
tually an underground cable was laid for
two and half miles and there has been
no trouble since. The rapidity and size
or these ice accumulations are almost in
credible to those who have had no expe-
rience with mountain telephone lines.

marked. when questioned about this din
