THE Engineers"
Mr.. Campbell said:
What other profession has produced
the enormous amount of wealth equal
70 that of the engineer, who pierced
old Mother Earth and made her dis
gorge the great wealth stored away!
Who conserved the floods of winter and
eioled them out during seasons of drouth
and made the land to blossom and fruc-
thy 1t has been said that He who
makes two blades of grass grow where
one grew before is a public bene-
f4elor and twice and thrice oene-
factor has been the engineer, VINO
through his works made countless thou-
ss.nos grow wnere none bore their heads
above the desert wastes. He has united
the distant places of the earth with
are strands and has made the news
of today tomorrow and the story OF to-
morrow the news Of today.
1.-The engineer lives not through the
misfortune trials and dissensions of
others, but rather from the wealth ana
abundance he has created on earth ana
from the fulness thereof. He mas neal
ed the sears Of nature, made the pesti-
iential swamps the abiding place OF
rxan in luxury. comfort and health. ne
has forced the mighty waters of the
ocean to take new courses that COM
nerce might find easy access to the
snarts of the world In his sanitary
work he has ridden plague-ridden cities
of pestiIence OF death, brought the pure
mountain waters TO the doors of the
people, and today he stands shoulder
to shoulder with the self-sacrifcing
medical profession lifting the people
from degrade ton, filth and disease, to
a better cleaner and higher lne
