JEROME PARK RESERVOIR.
VAST UNDERTAKING ON WHICH TWO
THOUSAND MEN ARE AT WORK

-FOUR YEARS WORK SCARCELY SHOwS-HOw THE
EARTH IS REMOVED AND DISPOSED OF
THE Army OF woRKMEN
Public attention has been recalled during the
last week to the work in progress at Jerome
Park OF constructing the immense
yor OF the city's waterworks system The
strike Of a thousand or more Italians who
left of work on account of dissatisfaction
with their wages not in itself of special
significance, but it suficed to cause the local
press to publish many columns regarding the
situation and this gave the taxpayers an OPP
portunity to remember that there was an enor-
nous undertaking going in the upper part
of the Greater City in which they had keen
interest The fact that a small army of two
thousand laborers is kept constantly employed
by the contractor in charge. and that this force
has been at work for the last four years and is
likely to be working for the next four or five
years, fully emphasizes the extent and magni-
tude of the project.
The tract Of land which extends over two
hundred acres covered with great mounds Of
rock and earth, an important feature OF
the picturesque scenery OF the old racing park
is only just beginning to show the work that
has been expended on it. Those who visited the
at first find some trouble in pointing out the
changes. And yet. on the estimates Of the con-
tractor. over a million cubic yards Of rock and
dirt have been excavated and removed during
the last year. Besides the work OF excavation,
a small portion OF the heavy masonry has been
constructed at the southern extremity Of tha
reservoir. In connection with the heavy. mas
sive wall Of stone which has been put in place
at this end. the great water gate, near the
Kingsbridge Road, has been built This. and
the progress made with the huge aqueduct.

middle OF the reservoir from north to south.

excavation that the results accomplished

the records Of the engineers.
1t has been estimated that the cost OF getting
together the machinery and other appliances
for the work footed up to about 100000. AS
time has gone the investment in the plant
has increased. late feature in this connection
Is large stone crusher which has just been
erected in full view of Jerome-ave The rock

this scheme, 1t Is customary for the May party

TO HELP THE FARMER,

A measure that seems to promise far
reaching results has been set on foot in
the interests Of the wheat growers Of the

voted exclusively to furnishing farmers
with the best and cleanest varieties Of
seed wheat, without other cost than that
Of the grain itself. The location Of this
bureau will be Fargo. and 1t will be In
personal charge Of c. H. Anheir, the Sec
rotary of the association recently organ
lied by Budd Reeves efforts for the con-
sideration Of the best methods Of prevent
ing the introduction of foul weeds in
wheat and for q maintenance of its
standard. Farmers who have choice seed
wheat for sale are requested to write Mr..
Anheir, stating variety. location, amount
and price. and he will submit their prop
ositions to all inquirers. Parties in need
Of grain are also requested to write Mr..

cation with those having seed for sale.
