 To Use Hydraulic Gates.
 The waters of this Roosevelt dam will be controlled by the largest hy- draulic gates ever built. With their controlling mechanism, they will weigh sOO,OOO pounds. When the reser- voir Is full, they will be capable of discharging 10000 cubic feet of water second. They will regulate the supply of water In canals fifty miles away.
 The gates are to stand at the head of 500-foot tunnel which has been driven through the side of the can yon, and through which the waters of the Salt and Tonto Rivers will be diverted while the dam is being built. It is estimated that the dam will be completed in about two years.
 The excess water from the enor- nous reservoir will be sent through pipes into water wheels or turbines, and the pow er generated will be taken sixty to seventy miles distant to cen trifugal pumps, by which other water will be raised to higher planes in the Salt River valley. It is estimated that each horsepower developed will irri- gate ten acres. at a distance of sixty

Verdict of the Coroner.

Records of the ancient city Cor geana, founded in 1640, better known at the present time as York Harbor, Me, contain many quaint and unusu- al stories of the early life of the town. At the entrance to York Harbor a bold promontory known as Stage neck extends some distance into the sea. from which formerly in stormy weat th- CT temporary light in the form of a lantern hoisted upon an upright pole was displayed as warning to marin CTS.
 One dark winter night a s.oop was wrecked on these rocks. A survivor on being questioned about the catastro- phe said:
 "The vessel struck. turned over on her side and the skipper and another barrel of whisky rolled overheard"
 The local coroner was summoned and this somewhat startling verdict was returned:
 We find that the deceased fell from the masthead and was killed; he rolled overheard and was drowned; he float ed ashore and froze to death and the rats ate him up allve."-Harpers Weekly.

The World Is Too Much with Us.

The World Is Too Much with Us. The world Is too much with us; late and
 soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our
 powers; Little we see in nature that Is ours; We have given our hearts away, sor-
 did boon This sea that bares her bosom to the
 moon; The winds that will be bowling at all
 hours. And are up-gathered now like sleeping
 flowers: For this. for everything, we are out of
 tune; It moves us not-Great God. I'd rather
 be A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn, So might I, standing on this pleasant
 lea, Have glimpses that would make me less
 forlorn; Have sight of Proteus rising from the
 sea, Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed
 horn, William Wordsworth.

At Parting.

Until we meet again. That is the mean
 ing Of the familiar words that men repeat At parting in the street. An, yes, till then, but when death inter
 yening Bends us asunder with what ceaseless
 pain
 We wait for the again! The friends who leave us do not feel the
 sorrow Of parting as we feel 1t who must stay Lamenting day by day, And knowing. when we wake upon the
 morrow, We shall not find in its accustomed place The one loved face.

 An Important Adjunct.
 Another very important adjunct to this big work Is a wagon road which has been built from Roosevelt to Globe, the nearest town, forty miles distant, Another road, three miles in length, was built, leading to the timber in the Sierra Ancha, where about 100000 feet of timber has been sawed for use in the work.
 Some idea of the difficulty encoun- tered in the construction of the road to Globe may be inferred from the fact that in some places, where it tra- verses the Salt River canyon, 1t is cut through solid rock sixty to seventy feet deep, while Fish Creek hill is climbed at the base of vertical cliffs

The United States of America Is a great magnet It draws to itGelf by the moral power of attractiveness all the ambitious and enterprising of all the world. It does not invite immi- grafton as do many countries of the newer world. It no longer holds out the promise of cheap lands or unusual opportunity. Nevertheless the hosts of Europe come. Canada has millions of acres of cheap arabic lands. And Can ada makes every effort to attract set tiers. She offers free homesteads and extraordinary facilities. But the peo- pie of Europe are not attracted. As many as oneeighth of Canada's pres ent population come to the United States every year. Other countries have cheap lands-the South Ameri- can States, Australia and New Zea- land. The latter country ought to be very attractive to the wage worker. But the people of the crowded East do not go to these countries in large num- bers. What Is the magnetic influence that pulls the foreigner to our shores: First, perhaps Is the desire to get away from class restrictions-the de sire of men and women to be free. The great republic offers them liberty Of speech and action. Second, we are a big success In this country. Despite its weaknesses and failures Washing tons republic Is the biggest successful enterprise in the world. It Is wealthy, powerful. Big. successful things at tract. So that when men and women asapire for better conditions they as
 pire in this direction. They believe they have a chance to make more of themselves, and of their children, here than elsewhere. The moral attractive force of the republic Is like that pc culiar form of polarity In the lodestone that exerts magnetic influence.

 The dam Is the main feature of one of the largest of the government irri- gation projects. It Is located in can yon of the Salt River. just below its junction with the small tributary above named. It will be 2T0 feet high, 2l0 feet long, 165 feet thick at the base, and Is feet wide on top.
 This dam will create a lake twenty five miles long and between a mile and half and two miles in width-the largest artificial reservoir in the world. It will be constructed of broken range cyclOpean rubble" and Portland ce. ment. The stone of which 1t will be built will be quarried from the walls on each side of the canyon. It is con templated that work on the structure shall be carried on continuously day and night.

The power thus developed runs a cement mill and does all the hoisting. drilling. digging, etc, for the construction of the dam.
 The cement mill is located about 1,500 feet from the dam site. and has been equipped with all the most mod ern machinery for making Portland ce- ment.

on the same basis as that which it
was proposed to enact in the COM

Mickey. The legislature of 1881 en-
acted a law providing that the rates
Should not be higher than those in

the possibility of the charges OF those

What is perhaps more significant is
the fact that the decision has strong
tendency to establish the validity of
section 3 of the same act which alb
solutely prohibits rebates, allowances

and may be of great service to the
state in the present suit against the

3 is very broad and sweeping in it's
terms and reinfOrces section 2 with
an inhibition against charging either

Citations or corporation any greater

WHAT THE REFERENDUM CAN DO
In Its Advisory Form it Can ExpeI
Graft From Cities

The referendum at Asbury Park
on the question of licensing hotels or
saloons to sell liquor was defeated
by a majority of eight votes. This
vote was an advisory one and not pro-
vided for by any law or statute, but
the referendum was determined upon
as the only way to discover the will
of the voters. The members of the
city council are thus instructed by
the citizens ON what at Asbury Park
is the most important and pressing
public question.
A distinctiveness about the vote
taken was the addition to the poll list
of all women who own property and
pay taxes and it is probable they
determined the result, for undoubtedly
a majority of them opposed license.
Can anyone suggest a more fair and
impartial way of settling the public
policy on any question than by refer
ring it to the voters and allowing the
majority to decide. If all cities were
governed by the system known as the
advisory referendum and advisory
initiative what an improvement there
would be in the average city govern
ment. To install such a system does
not require change in the city
charter, which corporation-con-
trolled legislature may refuse to en-
act, but merely that the voters pledge
their representatives in the city coun-
Gil to abide by the will of the majority
Of the voters when expressed by
referendum vote; also that when eight
per cent of the voters petition for an
ordinance on any important subject
it shall be considered by the council
and If necessary amended and then
the original and amended propositions
shall be passed upon by the whole
body of voters.
Graft and corruption vanishes under
such a system, for special privileges
for favored individuals, or corpora
lions, are certain to be vetoed by the
self-interest of the majority of the
voters. That is the system that has
emancipated the people of Detroit
from ring rule and is being installed
in Buffalo and other places to the
great advantage of the public well
fare.
