adopted, belongs the credit Of its prac-
tical sOIution. Be conceived the idea
of a distributing canal parallel to the
sea wall
The advantages of the canal are that
the material from it will be used to
back up the sea wall. Distribution of
material can be effected without an
expensive relay system. Without dis
turbing in the slightest degree the COM
merce of the city the whole area can
be filed by the mixture of sand and
water pumped by the great hydraulic
dredges, and the water will run back
into the canal. Another point in the
plan is to take the material for filling
from the channels of the bay. so that
when the dredges back out of the ca
nal, filling it up as they go. Galveston
will be left we'll above the highest flood
line, with her channels improved.
Mr.. Lindon Wallace Bates, who orig
mated this plan, is known in his pro-
fessiOn throughout the world. though
he is yet in the early forties. Early
in his career he was constructing en-
gineer on many railroads in the west
and later was engag i in seaport i'm
provement work by the English Rus
sian, Belgian and Australian govern
ments. He is a member of several
American and European engineering

Pine FiIlInr as a Profe..ion.

There are few ways of earning an
honest penny more strange than that
in which an old couple in the north Of
England exc out scanty income. Their
little cottage is situated near a large
mine, and every morning the Golfers
before descending to their work leave
their pipes and tobacco boxes in the
hands OF the old folk. The pipes are
cleaned and filled ready for lighting,
and the miners can come up at the
dinner hour and enjoy a good smoke
without having to expend time in
charging their pipes. They are again
left to be in readiness for the evening
The small weekly charge per pipe
mounts into a respectable number OF
shillings at the weeks end.

that the city of Galveston has under
taken. The work involves 100000
cubic yards of filling, covering an area
of approximately two square miles,
which will be graded up from seven to
twenty feet.

Big Canal.

From "The Saturday Globe" pub
lished at Toronto, Canada, many
items Of interest are Cleaned relative
to the development Of southeastern
Alberta. The slope Of southern Al
berta is toward the north, commenc-
ing on the boundary line Of Montana.
Regarding the canal built there In re-
cent years, the Globe states shat the
Gait canal Is ll5 miles in length and
can be used in irrigating 100000 acres
of land. The canal begins at point
on the st. Mary's river a few miles
south of Cardston, and winds its way
north, north-easterly and northwest
erly until Lethbridge is reached. The
head-gates of the canal by Cardston
are 1854 feet above sea level. At the
terminus of the canal near Lethbridge
they are 1888 feet, the fall from its
source TO the terminal point being
1896 feet. Tie supply of water is
abundant. The canal cost S400, 900,
and was carried through by the Cana
dian North West Irrigation Company,
the leading figure in which was Elliott
+. Gait, the canal being named after
him. The engineers in laying off the
canal utilized natural channels, called
coulers, fora distance of about twenty
four miles. Since the construction of
the canal, farming interests have ad-
vanced materially in that country;
fields with thousands of acres Of the
finest grain and beets can be seen on
every hand. While the northwest
may have disadvantages, as all coun-
tries have, it is destined to become
wealthy and populous country.

A Correction.

Instead Of taking Mr.. Thomas Muir
to Salt Lake for correct diagnosis"
of a trouble from which he is suffering,
DR.. Bulge took his patient there for
the purpose of having him in the best
place In case an operation was neces-
sary. DIR. Budge's diagnosis was cor
rect in every particular, being con-
Cured In by various Salt Lake physi-
clans. Mr.. Muir was taken suddenly
i'll on Monday of last week and suf-
fered untold agony. DR.. Bulge treat
ed him for gall-stones, and later comp
ications set in, making IL entirely
probable that an operation would
have to be performed. Facilities for
such a difficult operation not being at
hand, DR.. Bulge had Mr.. Muir re-
moved to the city, but continued to give
a treatment which he hoped would
obviate the necessity Of using the
knife. His hopes were realized, for a
certain desired result was obtained,
and Dr. Bulge returned to this city,
leaving Mr.. Muir in the city for a
short time until certain other desired
results are obtained. DR.. Bulge feels
that his Judgment on diagnosis is
worth that of any physician in the
state, and says our mention Of the
matter last week does him an in
justice. We are truly pleased to cor
rect the statement.

Ideal City.

1t is indeed interesting 70 hear Mr..
X ,. Lyon talk of developments in
southern California. We all know in
a general way of the phenomenal
growth of that State, but it takes the
citing Of individual improvements at
different places to make us appreciate
the real progress and achievements of
that section. In Los Angeles alone
there are twenty-nine new hotels in
course of construction at this time,
and some of these are enormous struc-
lures. Mr.. Lyon lives in a suburb of
Los Angeles and is thoroughly enthu-
static over his surroundings sand he
has just reason to be, for he is certain
ly living under as ideal conditions as
money can make them. This suburb
was laid out several years ago, and be-
fore a lot was sold there were miles of
paved streets and asphalt sidewalks
constructed, light and water-works
system installed, thousands Of trees
planted, parks established and every
thing placed in perfect condition.
When a lot is sold, there Is provision
In the deed that the same can never
be used for saloon or business purpose,
that residence costing not less than
$1,000 shall be built within certain
length of time and that it shall be set
certain distance from the curb of
the street, etc. Not only this, but
the real estate men handling the SUBJ
urb are very particular as to whom
the lots are sold, only the most desir-
able residents being permitted to Sc
cure a lot. Last year more than $780,
600 worth of property was erected
and this year the provements will
greatly exceed that amount In value.
When you come to think about It,,
isn't this about as ideal one could wish
for? Mr.. Lyon and wife who are now
at "The Lincoln" will leave shortly
for this paradise, the coming cool
weather making it uncomfortable for
Mr.. Lyon in his present state Of health.
MIR. Lyon has enjoyed his visit here
very much, and there Is little doubt
but that he Is looking much better
then when he came.
