er house through an immense pipe
and the tunnel to a point on the west
side of the mountain. More than 500
feet fall Is thus secured, and the dis
tance the water has to flow is greatly
shortened. The river at this point
forms a long U, and by cutting across
through the mountain a great distance
Is saved.
The next work will be the digging
of an immense canal from Bear river,
near this city to Bear lake, wherein
the floodwaters OF the river are to be
stored for summer use. After pass

ming of this work marks the starting

"Victory of Samothrace."

The Winged Victory of Samothrace,
the famous statuary, shows figure in
flowing Greek robes with wings. n
very virile and beautiful figure de-
spite the fact that it is headless and
armless. The figure was exhumed on
the Island of Samothrace in the Ae-
gean sea near Greece and It is thought
that it formerly ornamented the prov
of a Grecian ship. The figure is one
of the most beautiful of the ancient

years old.
The job of messenger boy was not
Mr.. Nally's first position, for he then
had been seven years a working boy"
When only eight years old he was
forced by the necessity of aiding in the
family's support to seek employment.
With less than two years of regular"
schooling. he started oct In life in St
Louis. He worked at all sorts Of odd
jobs until his chance came in the form
of the offer TO run errands for Col

II was in 1876 that Nally entered
Colonel Clawry's office. He remained
with him five years during which time
he learned the business of telegraphy
and became an expert operator. Then
he secured a position in the operating
room of the Western Union company.
There he remained until 1890, when he
was offered and accepted the position
of assistant general superintendent of
the Postal Telegraph company at Chi

was promoted to the position of gen.

Some people have a genius for seeking
out the disa greeable. the crooked, the bad
and the ugly. These are the destroyers;
they travel in schools, they herd together
for they love their kind, and the cheerful

From messenger boy to vice presi-
dent and member of the board of di-
rectors of a s1OO,O00.0o0 corporation.
with much of the executive work of
the concern placed in his charge-such
is the story, in brief, of the meteoric
career of Edward j. Nally, until yes
terday official head IN Chicago of the
Postal Telegraph Cable company
Mr.. Nally was elected yesterday, at
a meeting of the governing officials OF
the company in New York, to both OF
the high positions named. His new
duties will necessitaCe his removal TO
New York IT. two weeks. 1t will be
some time before his successor as gen
eral superintendent of the Postal Tel
egraph Cable company will be in full
control here, and in the interim he will
fit between Chicago and New York,
spending much of his time in this city.
He does not expect to be able TO move
his family from Highland park, where
he has a beautiful home on Moraine
road, until the first of the year, or
perhaps not until spring.
For thirty-one years Mr.. Nally has
been in the telegraph service, without
the break of a day. He has risen by
hard and conscientious work. The
change OF duties decreed for him is
in the highest sense promotional, and
last night the congratulations of his
friends were received in great numbers
at his Highland park home.
