sett, 1855 feet, and the New Croton 157 feet. In other words. about 50 per cent of the masonry in the New Croton dam is below ground and is serviceable for foundation purposes only.
 It is interesting to note the compar- ative reservoir capacities. While the New Croton dam is the largest in the world from the standpoint of it's amount of masonry, the storage capac- ity of the reservoir formed by it Is by far the lowest of any of those above mentioned. In fact from standpoint of storage economy, the New Croton reservoir is one of the DC crest that has been built In recent .-ccHrs, The dam contains S33,QQQ GU bic yards of masonry, and was erected at a cost of ST,600,000. The capacity of the reservoir formed by it is 4,00C,- 000 cubic feet, or a cost of S1, 300 per million cubic feet storage Similar figures for the Wachusett dam show that it contains 2S0,000 cubic yarGs Gf masonry, and was erected at a cost of about S2,000,0 900. It's storage ca pacity is 8,4O0, ,000, 900 cubic feet. or 2 cost of s23S per million cubic feet storage. In contrast to these exces siye costs the three western dams ap- rear remarkable. The Roosevelt dam, for example, contains 3590aG cubic yards of masonry erected st a cost of S3,S5e,0 900. The capacity of the reservoir is 61 ,000, ,00G,00D cubic feet, or fifteen times that of the New Croton, and about ' 1-2 times that of Wachusett. The cost of this dam per million cubic feet storage is only $63.16. Even more remarkable ap- pears the Pathfinder dam. 1: contains 5:, eco cubic yards of masonry, erected at cost of S1,000, 900. The capacity of tho reservoir is 43.560. .000.0e0 cubic | feet or more than te ntimeS that O: .he Croton. The cost of the Jam per million cubic feet storage is therefore only s22.95 as against s1 300 for the New Croton, and S238 for the Wachu
 sett. Similar figures for the Sho
 shone dam, the highest in the world are-cubic yards of masonry, 69,000;
 cost, 1000, 900; capacity of reservoir 20, ,000,0 ,000 cubic feet, or a cost of pel million cubic feet storage of s50.35. I These extremely low costs have sel dom been equalled in the history O.
 reservoir construction, and are due largely to the excellent natural facili ties which are found in the rugged
 western country. From this fact i must not be inferred that these west ern structures are simple engineering works. On the contrary, owing t ltheir isolated location, their inaccessi
 bility by rail and often by wagon, ant ! the cratic and torential character o the streams, they involve problem
 which tax the skill and ingenuity o ltheir builders to the utmost.
 | It is most fortunate that these res tervoirs provide enormous storage a relatively low cost, otherwise thei fconstruction would not be feasible, a
 the irrigated land could not bear tn
 expense of the costly structures O
 the East with their limited storag Icapacity.
 The Croton dam, If it had been COT ] structed in Salt River Valley in Ar zona for irrigation. would only suppl ]. 23. 900 acres, and irrigators would hay
 to pay $330 an acre for stored wate. as against $20, the estimated cos . from the Roosevelt dam.

Cost at Roosevelt Dam in Ari- zona Much Less Than in Similar Projects in Several States.
Reservoirs Will Provide Enor- nous Storage at Moderate Cost, Due to Unusual FaCili- ties Found in Rugged Hills,
One of the most surprising features

One of the most surprising features those interested in the reclama- nation Service, as well as the one ar fording highest qualification, is the cost of structures compared with those which have become familiar to engin- eers in the East. -- r
 When the reclamation work was in- augurated it was a matter or conject- ure whether or not the standards Of cost for dams, canals. etc, that had been established by engineering prac- tice in the eastern part of the country could be relied upon as basis Of es- inmates of the cost of the proposed western structures. As the work pro gressed it has become more. and more evident that many classes Of engineer ing work is the West can be per formed considerably cheaper than in the East, and at the same time the natural conditions are such that these structures are more economical and elective.
 If we take, for example, the three great masonry dams now being erect ed for the purpose Of storing water viz: the Roosevelt dam in Arizona, the Pathfinder dam in southeastern Wyo ming, and the Shoshone dam in north western Wyoming, we shall find that the effective storage capacity and costs are far below those of some oi the great eastern dams like the New Croton in New York, and the Wachu sett in Massachusetts The heights oi these dams are as follows: Roosevelt 280 feet, Pathfinder, 210 feet. Sho shone, 308 feet, New Croton, 297 feet and wachusett, POT feet. These height: are measured from the foundation stones to parapet in each case, ara they show that the Shoshone is th' highest, while the New Croton is sec ond and the Roosevelt third. If, how ever, the height above the river beC be considered, that is, the effective storage height, the New Croton is tn, lowest. The order Is then as fo! lows: Shoshone, 240 feet, Roosevelt 230 feet, Pathfinder 200 feet, Wachu

Milwaukee, Wis. May -. A spe-
cial from Oshkosh, Wis, says:
Complaint has been made against
a farmer living near Neenah that he
has been hitching four of his seven
children to pillow aud compelling
them to drag the implement through
a ten acre truck garden while he held
the pillow and drove a. he would drive
horses.
This sensational complaint is foun-
ded on facts, as neighboring farmers
aud persons from Oshkosh riding
along the highway have witnessed
the cruel practice. When the atten-
ton of the authorities was called to
the matter DIR. Wilkie, agent for the
Fox River Valley Humane Society,
went to the farmer and compelled
| him To send FIVE of his children I,
school. OF the seven children INV,
are Of school age whom the father, i
j. alleged, were rearing in ignorance
None of them were able TO read o
write. The majority are girls. Tn
oldest one, and one who was hitche,
to the pillow, is not over fourteen year
of age.
DIR. Wilkie states that the pillow i
a heavy affair, with harnesses at
tached. which were put about th
shoulders Of the children.

beautiful scenery, arriving at Knox
vile about a. m, where we spent
the night. We took the early train
on the morning of the 1lth reaching
Chattanooga about 3 a. M, in time
to be at the first meeting of the Con-
vention, and sometime before the
