MILLS TO BE PUT UP
For the Getting Out Of Lumber for the
Tonic Basin Dam.

A significant move is being made in
connection with the building of the
Tonic basin reservoir. II is the build
ing Of a lumber road from Livingston
into the Sierra Anches, where mills
will DE put for the getting out of lum-
Der for the construction of the reser-
vcir- The road will be twenty-three
miles long.
Men and supplies have been secured
and the work will be begun immedi-
ately. There has been an impression
that the supplies were being gathered
for the road from Mesa 20 the dam
site on which work has been going on
for months. That was not regarded as
certain sign that the reservoir would
be constructed. but it was looked upon
as a. part of the preliminary work, the
same as the survey of the dam site was.
The fact though that mills are to be
built and that lumber is going to be
gotten cut leaves no doubt as tc the

NAVIGATION OF THE TIBER.
Its Traffic Decadent Compared to thu
Days of Ancient Rome.

Attention is being drawn to the fact
that, as far as the naviga ton of the
Tiber is concerned. modern Rome is
sadly inferior to the Rome of ancient
days Whereas then huge loads of mar
BILE and gigantic monoliths could be
shipped from the mouth of the river
right up to Rome, nowadays even the
smallest vessel is incapable of forcing
its way up to the city. The complaint
is a natural one and is perfectly well
founded. According to Livy, Scipio
when providing with supplies the great
fleet which was to sail to Africa, re-
ceived by means of the Tiber enormous
loads of corn and pinewood from Per
ugai and Chiusi Moreover, the ships
of the royal navy of Perseus, gigantic
though they were for ships of those
days, were brought along the Tiber
after their capture by the Romans as
far as the Campo Mario. The great
columns of the Pantheon and the enor-
nous obelisk which adorn the Vatican ;
piazza were also transported up the
Tiber 1t seems absurd that the Tibef
of the present day should be absolutely
useless for the most moderate-sized
craft The bed of the river has, how
ever been allowed to become so silted
up with sand and mud as to be entirely
impra cticable for any kind of shipping.
Various suggestions have been made
at different times and various plans
have been evolved for the Improvement
of this state of affairs. A special COM
mittee is now engaged on the work of
comparing their respective merits and
advising the authorities on a future
plan of action. The late Signor Cane
vari's plan is one which is deemed by
many to be the most practical. He III
his scheme advised that the course OF
the Tiber below Rome should be recti-
fed. and the level of the river artihciallE
raised so as to obtain d hydraulic force
of some u 600 horse power. At the same
time he suggested the extension OF the
canal at Ostia to the sea This would
result in giving a depth of about six
| teen meters for a distance of three
kilometers from the sea. He would
have then joined the canal to the recti-
| fed course of the river. The total cos;
CT his plan would have been. according
