be obtained by ordinary solar photog-
raphy, and at places the incline is so
steep that the man with camera can
find no place to stand while taking his
view.
The altitude Is a great difficulty to
be encountered In the prosecution of
such piece Of work. A large number
Of men can not do heavy work at that
altitude at all. Any one with heart
trouble Is barred to begin with. The
strongest Of the men can not do more
than half. work at such an elevation.
During the two years and more that
the work was In progress the company
was sending In n constant stream of
men who were as constantly leaving
with or without notice. A large num-
Der were physically unable to endure
the work, but even those that did not
get positively sick became homesick.
With good wages, good board, and
short hours Of work, they would get to
brooding on their situation, to worry
ing abut their families, to fancying
sickness when they did not have 1t, be.
come sleepless, and rather than wait
for the end of the season and be hauled
down comfortably In the company's
wagons they would fold their blankets
and kits and silently steal away on the
seventy-five-mile tramp to civilization.
Two devices used for the protection
of the canal deserve notice. One is to
keep it from stopping over A little spill
on the lower side might speedily wash
n gully that would not only empty the
canal, but might soon be so much of
canyon that 1t would give new engi-
neering problem to get across It, Where
the incline is so nearly perpendicular
no chance of break must be left. Ac-
cordingly an automatic spillway Is pro-
vided, so that when the water reaches a
certain height in the ditch the rise of
the water alone raises a water gate
and the surplus goes careening down
a channel prepared for 1t.
The second device referred to is that
whereby a stream crossing the path of
the ditch Is led harmlessly over 1t, but
contributes water In so far as such con-
tribution Is needed. The method adopt
ed was to lead the stream over the
ditch. The ditch follows the side of
the ravine until 1t intersects the water
course. Then fluming Is pushed back
to bedrock in the streams course, and
it is made to jump the ditch. Right
over the ditch is placed a grating of
heavy timbers so inclined that rocks
and driftwood do not lodge, but are
washed over without resistance, while
the water flows through the grating
into the ditch. This lands the debris
far down the mountain side, but saves
the precious water, or so much of it as
the canal Is able to carry at a given
time.
When, after more than two years Of
work, the canal was finished in 1894, II
was found to deliver into Chambers
Lake constant flow of water of 1872
cubic feet per second. The value of
this water was so greatSthat the canal
paid for itself the first season after its
completion.

tic work and giving especial attention to

ticing faith healing. and that he had work
ed within the bounds of charges when he
was not invited.

conference members, that when he visite!
the sick he prayed for their recovery ana

question he said Mr.. Wine believed in
n4Gtcal practice in addition.
Rev. James S. Van Horne said the con-
ference was already suffering from too
many rowing cvangelists and inefficient
workers.
During the discussion the fact was
brought out that Two years ago Mr. Wine
was admitted to the conference on trial,
nut was discontinued last year at his own
request. division was called on the vote

dred dollars was raised through various
agencies for missions last yea. although
