&NE work which represents the
triumph of mans energy
over many obstacles. The
most evident of the triumphs is that
which has been achieved over the nat
ural obstacle of the Nile. A river has,
been damned which in the months of
drought has a mean daily flow double
the size of the English Thames at food
time.
A few sentences must dispose of the
general method of Egyptian irriga-
ton. All cultivable land lies in a mar
row strip on either side of the Nile,
and into this great country canals
from the Nile stretch out like the
feathered barbs on either side of an
arrow. At food Nile these canals are
filed. At low Nile, during the sum-
mer months, they would be empty.
Therefore, the first great dam at the
delta was built in order to keep the
Nile flood from all running away to
the Mediterranean, and in order to
serve the irrigation canals of lower
Egypt. But now come the claims of
middle Egypt. At Assiout, 400 miles
higher up the river, another barrage
has been built, and this will shore up
the waters of the lean months, so that
they may drip into a great canal,
called the Ibrahimiyeh canal, just
above the barrage. But this is not
enough storage. There must be dam
still higher up, which will serve as a
mich COW for the Assiost barrage and
the 1brahimiyeh canal, and this is the
work which the great dam at Assouan
will do.
It has been built over the rocky ISL
Rnds and the turbulent channels of the
first cataract. The Nile here is a mile
| wide, and behind the dam-that is to
say, south of the dam-the waters of
the river will be banked up in great
lake, lake often a mile wide and $50

CAUGHT IN COON TRAP.
Kentucky rrepper Saved His Life by
Cutting on His Finger with
Barlow Knife.

Silas Remey, who lives on Chapline
river in Mercer county, is a famous
trapper, says the Louisville Evening
Post. Monday Silas and his little son
spent all the afternoon setting traps
Along the river cliffs and set their last
one just at nightfall.
This was one of Silas' own invention
and most effective in catching coons.
On the river bank was.a log that every
coon that passed would visit and here
Silas set his trap.
So when Silas had set his trap, as 1t
was now almost dark, he thrust in his

Like the stars.

Phillips Brooks, speaking of those
lives from which we derive the most
real courage and helpfulness, said:
ut is the lives like the stars, which
simply pour down on us the calm
light of their bright and faithful be-
ing, up to which we look and out of
which we gather the deepest calm and
courage. No man or woman of the
humblest sort can really be strong,
gentle, pure and good, without the
world being better for it; without
somebody being helped and comfortee
by the very existence of that good
ness"

new POWER PLANT
NEAR WESTON
Engineer Miller Recently Investigated
Possibility of New
Scheme.

City Engineer G. n. Miller has re-
turned from trip to Weston and
Bingham Springs where he has been
investigating the installation of
plant for the Weston Electric Light
and Power company, says the Pendle-
ton East regonian.
Some time ago the company filed
articles Of incorporation in the office
Of the county clerk, and since that
time they have been planning for
site for their power station, and it
was to consult with them that Mr..
Miller went to Weston. There they
talked over the plans of the company
and at last went OF Bingham, where
they looked for suitable location for
a power station.
A place was found about three miles
above Bingham Springs where there
was a volume of water sufficient to
generate 1900 horse power the year
round Mr.. Miller says that there is
five times as much water in the north
fork of the Umatilla at the point OF
the proposed plant as there is in the
river at PendletOn, and that in two
miles they can get a fall of over 200
feet.
The water right has been secured
by the company, and the plant will be
put in as soon as the work can be
done 1t is probable that the lines
will be run into this city inside Of a
year Nh Miller now has II men out
locating the pipe line and surveying
for the site of the building.
The plant will cost 100000 AMI it
is intended to supply all of the coun-
try between the plat andi Weston on
the one side, and Pendleton on the
other. The distance of the plant from
this city will be about 80 miles, but
it will not be so far over the noun
tains to Weston.
It is the intention of the company
to put in a night and day service, and
to feed all Of the little towns along
the line AS soon as the site of The
power station has been surveyed, the
men will start on the work OF running
the lines for the poles to Pendleton
and Weston. 1t is now an assured
fact that inside Of a year this city
will have an all night service, and
power for all the motors that the
various concerns Of the city demand,
and that at a reduced cost to the con
sumner.

Officials Keep Sharp Eye
on City's Water Supply
TO KEEP THE RESERVOIRS FULL
Deficiency In Rainfall Apparent In
Streams and Springs That
Are Drying Up.
TO KEEP THE RESERVOIRS FULL

With the creeks and springs run
ming lower than ever, Walla Walla S
water supply is at low ebb and only
by the hardest kind of work and
watching the outflow with a jealous
eye are the water officials able 70
keep the reservoirs full. Consumers
who do not observe sprinking hours
are uncermoniously shut off, and
these are not few. Every plug and
tap is watched by men that every
precious drop not needed may no. be
wasted.
Creeks and springs adjacent to Wal
la Walla are running lower than ever
this year, and unless fall rains set
in on time. danger from this source
is not small. The existing deficiency
in rainfall as reported by the loca
weather bureau is nearly four inches
counting from January l. This is
the greatest deficiency known in Wal
la Walla valley and its effect may
plainly be seen in the diminished vol
ume of water flowing in Mill creek
and other streams adjacent to Walla
Walla and the drying up of live springs
in many places.
In watching Walla Walla's water
supply the water officials are con
stantly urging customers 70 observe
sprinkling hours and to husband the
supply as much as possible Many
have disregarded the injunctions
with the result that their supply has
been shut Off

IN 1898 he met and married the

acres Of orange groves in Florida. She

fought for six years, but finally was
admitted to probate by the surrogate

Dwyer went all over the west or
