Lynchburl's New Water Supply Through

The writer was there few days age
and looked on with much interest
while the work was being done on the
Presbyterian Orphanage farm through
which the foot ditch runs about a
mile. 1t was surprise to find the
piping is of wood, and the wood
brought from California, the famed
Redwood. The specimens of these big
trees are familiar to those who have
attended the expositlOns. The wood
comes in planks sawed about the
width and thickness of common floor
ing and built in the bottom of the
ditch, barrel fashion, and bound to-
gether with a kind of hoop made of
small iron rods about the size of a
mans finger. These hoops are tightly
drawn and screwed up and put about
inches apart. They are heavily coat
ed with water and rust proof black
paint and the pipe is just feet in d.
ameter inside. This kind of pipe, 1t is
said, will last indefinitely and is coll
sidered more durable than iron, being
kept constantly moist and so far be-
meath the surface. though this opinion
is received rather specifically by some.
The water is clear and pure free
stone from the headwaters of Pedlar
River, high up in the mountains of
Amherst, the location being most con-
veniently reached from Buena Vista,
