clear Hum boldt redwood enter into the
construction of the tume. Only the roof
and top girders are OF pine. So carefully
was the redwood lumber selected that the
manager says he would deem it a safe
proposition TO forfeit $1,000 for every knot
found, provided ne be given 81 for every
board or stick found in which there is no
knot.
An interesting feature of this structure
is an arch of sixty-foot span, upon which
the fiume is carried over particularly bad
place along the cliff This arch was made
by building up false work and upon it
bending ordinary Ike boards. Twenty of
them were thus bent and fastened to-
gether for each curve OF the arch, with
the result that a most substantial and
perfect arch was made at small cost.
The fiume will carry 2S0 cubic feet OF
water per second, and at its terminus at
the mouth of the canyon, 1914 80 feet from
the point of leaving the river, 1t is 202 feet
above the power-house. There the water
will be delivered into steel pipe feet 6
inches in diameter and $40 feet long, said
to be the largest steel pipe in the State.
The fall from the end of the fiume to the
power-house is exactly 201:9 feet, and the
volume of water carried will generate
about 1900 horsepower.
The wheels by which this power is to be
generated have not yet been contracted
for. They are to be OF the tangential type,
and mum Der of companies constructing
different patterns of wheels are preparing
to make proposals for their construction.

SAN JOSE, CAL, July 26.-Luigi Scarre

small shanty on Ell Dorado street, became
engaged in row last night and when the
police arrived both men looked as though
they had been run through thrashine-

payment of rent on the shanty. During
the fight Lotto used his teeth and Scarres
lip was nearly torn away. Over dozen
stitches were necessary to close the wound.
Scarre used a hatchet with good effect, and
Lotto has couple of flesh wounds on his

SAN DIEGO, CAL, July 26.-Four girls

the Coronado summer school engaged in
perilous venture yesterday morning be-
fore daylight. They visited the caves on
the ocean side of Point Iona, making a
start at "a. M. in order to reach the caves
at low tide. They expected to gather
marine curiosities, and carried ropes,
picks, crowbars and iron buckets. Upon
reaching the caves the tide was at the low
est mark, but the question was how to get
the young ladies into the caves. 1t was
necessary to lower them with ropes. The
water being deep and the night cloudy it
was hazardous undertaking.

have our bathing with us. We will
put them on and be lowered down. We

The Misses Bremen and Freese proved
to be as venturesome as the Polhamus
girls, and they were all let down by ropes
to the water and swan into the caves with
lighted candles on their heads. They
were accompanied by Messrs. Woodward,
Magee and Morse.
The caves were thoroughly explored and
some valuable specimens secured. Some
trouble was experienced by Misses Bremen

firma Two of the young men had to
climb the rope hand over hand and pull

THE DARLING CASE.

Today in the district court the case
of E. f. Darling, indicted for extor-
ton, will be commenced and it is
probable that the trial will attract as
great a crowd as did the Allen murder
trial. Darling, it will be remembered,
told a well-k0own Ogden man that he
had seen something through the
transom of the latter's room which the
latter could not afford to have made
public. 1t is claimed by the man that
he pretended to yield to Darling $
threats, paid him So in cash and .S25
the next day in a check, receiving
therefor a contract signed by Darling
that he would not make known the
result of his spying. This, however,
was scheme put UP to catch Darling,
who was arrested soon after leaving
the room where the contract. was
signed. Darling has no relatives in
ogden and it is said his real name is
Mulligan.
