AN ACCIDENT.

While helping saw wood at the
Chris Dangberg residence few
days ago, Dave Jones had the
hardihood to monkey with The
buzz saw and came out of the con.
test minus the tip of the index
fingvr of his left hand. Says the
aphorism, "saw wood and say
nothing" was obsolete and contra
dietion during the affair.

large amount of material that will
be required to build this dam al
the smallest possible cost, tressel
will be built across the end of the
Lake at the proposed height of the
dam and will lead to a nearby
mountain. A train of cars, pro-
PEELED by steam will be used in

dam. The cars will be loaded by
means of a steam shovel. The

matically. When completed the
entire face of the dam will receive
six-inch lay of cement.
1t is estimated that the reservoir
will furnish water to irrigate 30
900 acre of land, which lies in
Smith and Mason valleys and
which at present is nothing but
barren waste.
Engineer Henderson, who is in
charge of the work, figures that
three years will be required to
complete the construction of the
reservoir. Thirty thousand doll
worth of cement will be used in the
work and the entire cost OF the
reservoir will be over 81 100000.
The Lake will completely cover
the Bridgeport wagon road and il
will be necessary to construct a
new road of several miles in length
above the Lake and in almost solid
granite.

Congressman Smith Makes Speech in
Favor of 1t.
The idea of postal telegraph has a
warm advocate in Samuel w. Smith
member of congress from Michigan
who in a carefully prepared speech in
the house insisted that if the govern
ment would undertake such a system
the deficit in the postal department
would be almost wiped out.
I'VE should" he said, have first
class postal telegraph in the United
States in connection with our splendid
postal facilities, and the rates can be
reduced at least one-half, leaving a
sufficient amount to dispose of the de-
felt and have money left to extend the
rural service to practically every home
and pay the city and rural carriers a
compensation fitting their services and
experiences"
Wherever the postal telegraph has
been adopted, according to Mr.. Smith,
it has at once been followed by re.
duction in price and by an increase in
the number and kinds of messages.
Mr.. Smith is authority for the state.
