WATER MADE DAMS

Some Of the Old time operations of
the miners for placer gold and the use
of the hydraulic giant" have sug-
gested an ingenious method of con-
structing dams for reservoirs in the
West. The hydraulic giant was found
to be a most effective and powerful
agent in removing even compact bodies
OF earthen material. A stream of water
brought from AM elevation under great
pressure and directed against the face
OF a hill in which gold was supposed
to restore its way into the mass with
tremendous force cutting out large
amounts OF the tnaterial and washing
them away, the waste water asserting
the hne from thG coarse particles. The
sand and gravel thus washed away was
carefully examined for the precious
metal.
OF recent years hydraulic power has
been employed to almost reverse this
process, Engineers appreciating tbp
great transporting g and asserting power
of water used ini this way to buiId nm
instead OF tear down the land; and by
carefully guiding. the material loosened

able to accumulate and arrange if

waiting the soil, the tools to use and
how to use them, fertilizers and their
application, stock-raising, etc., should
receive attention, and every one would
be benefited.
In order to encourage these societies.
the commissioners of each county
should make an annual appropriation
of at least $500 in order to assist in
holding fairs, and every farmer and
citizen of the county should make I'D
his mind to have something to place
on exhibition, and lend every assist
anee in their power to make them a
success.
Even the State would do well to
make an annual appropriation for this
purpose, and place it in the hands of
the agricultural department for dis
bursement. No objections would be
raised, and the great benefits to the
State would more than pay for the
outlay.

dam is to be built, the material rolled
along by the water is carried into
fumes to the selected spot. On leaving
the fiume small boulders and coarse
gravel are at once deposited. The sand
flows on farther, and the fine mud is.
carried in suspension for considerable
distances. 1t is thus possible to deposit
the gravel on the outer slope OF the
dam and the finer material in the cen
ter, thus making a central impeTViOus
clay way and heavy coating Of cOarSer
gravel on the upper and lower faces OF
the dam. The material being deposited
under water is thoroughly cOmpaeted,
and there is less danger Of settlement
or of porous layers being formed than
in the case of dirt placed by carts or
scrapers. A number of dams: notably II
Southern California and in Texas have
been built with extraordinary speed
and small expense in this way and even
high railroad embankments have been
constructed in like manner.
This method of construction OF dams
is being made the subject Of study OF
the Division Of HydrOgraphy Of the u
S. Geological Survey, in connection
with Investigations as to the feasibility
of reclaiming the arid lands OF the
West.

Quests For some time Mr.. Turner has

the all e and fearless editor of the Sa-

South Georgia has been whining about

North Georgia has been enabled to

The time is now ripe for South Geor-

A GOOD many business people of Tai
lahassee have recently expressed them
selves to the Tallahasseean as being
willing to give certain large sums Of
money to bring industries here that
will develop the city and surrounding
country. It strikes us as a capital
idea for all those who are thus in
clined to get together and organize a
sort of home improvement company or
association, issue stock, put it upon the
market and start the ball to rolling.
This plan has met with unexpected
success in other places we have in
mind, and would do the same here.
ALI that is necessary is to raise the
capital to start, put honest, energetic
men at it's head and success is as
sured.

The Tallahasseean deeply sympa-
thizes with Brother McCreary in the
loss of the Gainesville Sun office. The
plant, records, etc., were completely
destroyed by fire, entailing a loss CT
$4,000 or more, with less than $4,000 in
surance. The fact that not an Issue
of the paper was missed shows COM
mendable energy and we trust that
Brother Nc. will soon recuperate his
losses. The Sun has been a great fac
tor in the development of Alachua
county, and the business men, not only
of Gainesville, but of High Springs,
Rochelle and other villages, should
rally to it's support now that it needs
it so much.

AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES.

The Success of the State Fair in the

Nothfkg is more potent in developing

Not Only this, but they attract at

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Inc HrSL message OF PreSlQenC ROOSe-
veIt is a very able document, just such
as a man of his recognized ability
might be expected to prepare and sub
nit to Congress. From Mr.. ROose-
velt's spectacular temperament many
people thought that his message would
TEEN with the big I and little u. But
it didn't. 1t was really very sensible
message, and handled public affairs in
a vigorous manner.
In the opening, Mr.. Roosevelt pays
a glowing tribute to the late President
Mckinley, of whom he said: "The
shock, the grief, of the country are
bitter in the minds Of all who saw the
dark days while the President 7et
lowered between life and death. At
last the light was stilled in the kindly
eyes, and the breath went from the
lips that even in mortal agony uttered
no words save of forgiveness to his
murderer, Of love for his friends and
unfaltering trust in the will of the
Most High. Such a death crowning the
glory of such a life, leaves us with in
finite sorrow, but with such pride in
what he had accomplished, and in his
own personal character that we feel
the blow, not as struck at him, but as
struck at the nation. We mourn a
good and great President who is dead,
but while we mourn we are lifted up
by the splendid achievements Of his
life and the grand heroism with which
he met his DEATH"
The President then goes on to re-
commend that Congress take the nee
essary steps to suppress anarchy in
this country. He reviews the business
conditions in the United States, and
our relations with other countries, and
strongly advocates the construction of
an isthmian canal, favors a larger
navy, and while he praises army re-
Organization does not think we need
a larger standing army.
In handling the trusts, Mr.. Roose-
velt says that the government should
control the trusts or else be controlled
by the trusts. AS regards Chinese ex-
clusion, he does not come to the
point, but thinks that only the better
classes should be allowed to come in
from any country. The President
pays a tribute to the American wage
workers, and says that the pauper
labor of other countries should not be
brought here to lower the standard:
The tariff also receives attention,
but Mr.. Roosevelt has evolved a para
dox in claiming reciprocity as a twin
sister of protection. The message ia
vOrs a ship subsidy bill and says that
the American marine must again rule
the ocean. The President sounds the
praises of the single gold standard, as
was to have been expected.
AS Mr.. Roosevelt has long been a
civil service reformer, his recommen-
datiOns on this line are in keeping
with his past policy. Another good
feature about the message is its refer
ence to forestry preservation and irri-
cation.
Taken as a whole, the message is
an ably prepared state document, in
keeping with the Presidents past ut
terances. There are many parts with
which the Democrats cannot agree, but
we will have to take them for want Of
something better.
