CARLISLE D. GRAHAM.
Goes Through the Whirlpool Rapids of
 Niagara in a Barrel

Goes Through the Whirlpool Rapids of
 Niagara in Barrel
 Carlisle D. Graham was the first man who ever went through the Whirlpool Rapids of Niagara and lived to tell the story. Eleven years ago he made the trip in a barrel, and it was this style of craft that was Rrst to successfully brave the rapids. He repeated the trip three times and then waited eleven years be- fore trying it again. Last Sunday, July l5, he made his fifth trip and lived to tell the story but he was nearly sui located by being in the barrel nearly an hour because at the starting point the barrel was caught in an eddy and re- mained there 24 minutes before 1t drift ed into the rapids. An immense crowd of people lined both sides of the river to witness the perilous feat. Graham says: While do not state it positive ly, think this will be my last trip in a barrel. However, in a few weeks I shall go through again, and shall en- deavor to make that the greatest per formance ever witnessed at the falls. No, am not prepared to tell just how I shall do it, but it will be spectacular. Y"

TARIFFyILLE TO SPRINGFIELD.
Project Underway 10 Build the Link
 Around the Montague Farm.


 (Hartford Courant, July ls.l
 An organization WAS perfected in this city Thursday for the building of a rail road over the land in East Granby owned by the Hartford X Connecticut Western Railroad Company The pro posed line is for the purpose of uniting the unfinished extension to Sprinfield and will be around the Montague farm and over land which the Hartford X Connecticut Western Railroad Com. pany bought long before it petitioned the recent Legislature for permission to pass over the Montague farm with its tracks.
 The organization made Thursday for the building of the line is for some reason outside and seperate organizs- ton from the Hartford X Connecticut Western Railroad Company. Perkins & Perkios are lawyers for the promot- CTS of the plan. Judge Arthur Perkins of the firm of Perkins X Perkins was seen by reporter of the "Courant" yesterday afternoon. He said that the firm had been engaged but had been instructed to say nothing about the matter and that nothing would be said about the organization until the cer- tificate was filed in the office of the secretary of the state and the reporter would have to wait until that time. Judge Perkins would not give the names of any of the promoters. In view of the lively contest of last winter this latest action is interesting.
 The Winsted Evening. Citizen of July 15 says:
 ''It was learned today that ex. Cover nor Lorrin E. Cooke, Rufus E. Holmes, David Strong and Winfield J. Garvin are the Winsted stockholders of the new railroad company that was orgsniz- ed in Hartford last week to build the railroad around the Montague farm in Grsnby, making the connecting link, completing the Tariffvile branch of the Central New England. This new company has ample capital at it's com mand and the work Of building the read will be commenced at once. The con. tracts for building the same will be for half-mile sections, so that the four and e.half mile stretch will be completed much sooner than if the whole was given in one contract. It Is expected that the railroad will be in operation by October. There will probably be no delay caused by the railroad commis- sioners or courts, as the road is to be built by an entirely independent com pany from the Hartford < Connecticut Western or Central New England, and ca1 go ahead ana construct the line under the law as it is, as the company already owns the entire right of way. The capital is said to be owned entirely by Connecticut people, who are interest ed in the development of this part of the state and are anxious that a railroad should run from Tariffyille to Spring field. .a... .....
 The name of the new railroad as printed in some of the state papers, Hartford and Springfield Cocnecting railroad" is not correct. The Winsted stockholders and the attorneys, Per kins < Perkins of Hartford, and Judge Maltbie are very reticent in regard to the new project and decline to give any information.

FOR BETTER SEWERS.

The city of Oskaloosa should look
forward to better system of sewers
than that now in use in the city. The
city is of the size that demands the
best of sewers, and yet it has a sys-
tenn that is very faulty as well as in
adequate. 1t is an Improvement that
should be built not to accommodate
the pressure of immediate demand
but to anticipate the needs of great
er city. The city is growing at a
rapid rate and the question of sewers
is as important matter as the CITY
council has before it. Almost every
meeting of the council is called upon
to dispose of petitions from this part
of the city and from that neighbor-
hood praying that sewers be granted.
There are citizens who stand ready
to make permanent improvements as
soon as they can get sewer accom-
modations for buildings. Oskaloosa
sewers are little more than drains
and are to-day unequal to the needs
OF the city. The outlets are small
and they are often crowded to their
full capacity. The city has had sew
The Oskaloosa herald. (Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa) 1885-1919, 1901-04-25

eral damage suits to settle on account
of the inability of the sewers to care
for the sewage that accumulated at
times. 1t is apparent to all who have
looked into the matteri that Oska-
loosa must take steps toward better
system. The present method of car
ing for the wants of the people has
about served its day. There should
be definite plan adopted and work
ed to year by year until the work is
completed. Such plan was thought
of last year and practical engineer
was consulted. One McKibben, en-
gagged to appraise the water works
system, at fine salary, was to have
furnished the council with a survey
of the city and sewer plan. The plans
failed to materialize for some reason,
however, and the city is still follow
ing in the old rat. The expense of
good sewers is not great and could
be easily met by the city. The neces-
sary outlay for such system would
be saved to the city in short term
of years counting the expense of the
present methods employed, and the
damage suits so frequently brought.
