Baca County Survey Work

w. j. Lightfoot, examiner of sur
veys, who has been in the southern
part of Baca county with a corps of
surveyors for the past three or four
months making diligent preliminary
investigation, has completed his pre-
liminary work and made his report.
He failed to find any Government
marks or other evidence of survey
having been made in that section.
There is approximately one million
acres in the southern part of Baca
county that shows no evidence of
ever having been sectionized or
properly surveyed. The Government
will doubtless arrange at once to let
this contract, that the work may be
executed at an early date. There are

Running Municipal Trolley Gar
With Garbage and Refuse

The city of Nottingham owns
two Instructors, costing, respectively,
$4,000 and $102,000.-Says the
Scientific American. The latter one
is equipped with electric machinery
costing $4,000, connected with the
tramway lines. The cost Of wages
and other expenses of the Instructors
average about 35 cents a ton of re-
fuse burned. The average quantity
of electric units produced is 42.23
per ton. The system of converting
refuse into electricity works admir-
ably there, and is a saving to the tax
payers. Only forty other towns in
the country use anything similar.
Ashes, kitchen scraps, and house
refuse receptacles are placed in metal
barrels or large iron receptacles at
the rear of the premises, in accord
ance with the practice in this country
and removed weekly by city en-
pleyees. The total weight of the re-
fuse is about 1,500 tons a week. 1t
is carted away after being collected
and burned in the two destructors,
which require no other fuel except a
trife for starting the fire on Mon
days. Enough steam is produced by
the Instructors to provide electricity
for a third of the needs of the tram
way system. Only tin cans and the
like are separated from the refuse
and sold All the rest is used as
fuel for the production of electrici-
ty.,
Besides electricity the Nottingham
corporation produces from the house
refuse more street-paving stones
than it can use. A plant connected
with the main destructor mixes the
clinkers with cement and places the
composition under .-ydraulic pres
sure. The artificial bricks thus pro-
duced are harder than stone and can
be used for building purposes as
well as street paving. The engineer
in charge of the work claims that
from tests made the paving stones
thus manufactured will wear longer
than any similar composition now
being produced, while costing but
half the price. Another destructor,
is contemplated by the city authori-
ties of Nottingham.

The many friends of Mr.. James
Melin Wiley, will be pleased to learn
of his graduation from the Brook lyn
Polytechnic Institute and that at the
commencement exercises held We'd
nesday evening, June II, he carried
OF the honors of his class by taking
two degrees. Electrical Engineer
and Mechanical Engineer. Was also
valedicatOrian and also landed the
Alfred Raymond prize for the best
thesis. the prize consisting of the in
come on 100000.
The following is from the Brook
lyn Citizen of June 49,
From a scholastic view James NJ.
Wiley carried off the commencement
hOnOrs. He took two degrees-elec-
trical and mechanical engineering
was valedictorian and landed the AL
fred Raymond prize for his tests in
engineering. The prize is the in
come on $1,000. Mr.. Wiley is an
Erasmus Hall man and led his class
during his course at the Flatbush In
stitutin.
Mr. Wiley's valedictory address
was on Breadth of Culture" He
declared that a mans business
should not be the measure of the
man, that he must be bigger than his
calling, and that culture, as we'll as
technical learning. We're essential to
distinguish the manager of great in
dustries from a mere clerk, familiar
only with details. After bidding
farewell to trustees and faculty, Mr.
Wiley spoke these parting words to
his classmates:
Classmates, the goal toward
which we have been struggling is
reached. We have completed our
studies at the Polytechnic, and are
about to enter upon new field of
activity-new to some of us, but old
to others whose achievements in
business life rank with their sue
cesses here. Future results will de-
pend upon us individually. For the
past four years we have worked side
by side. and as a body. Henceforth,
we shall strive separately each for
himself, but all for the good name
and fame of our Alma Mater. The
habits of years, the ties of infinite
associations and the memory of those
dear old days of class scraps, recon-
citations and Qualifications shall
bind us to each other and to her un-
til death do us part. Classmates,
farewell.
That the graduates maintain their
individuality, be courageous, and not
be hampered by tradition was the
gist of the advice bestowed by Walt
er G. Kerr, B. M. E., in an address
pregnant with common sense and
maxims that make for success in the
world of commerce.
The announcement of the prize
winning thesis was then made by
Professor Samuel Sheldon, Phi. D.,
Sc. D. 1t was won by Mr.. Wiley
with a paper on 1.-The Standardiza-
ton of Multiple Unit Control Equip
ment."

Accidentally Killed.

Perhaps the saddest tragedy ever
known 10 the county was the acci-
dent reported from Number One
last Friday.
About three months ago Mrs. w.
2. Massingill returned home from
visit to her sons. Dick and Ned,
living near Cape Girardeau. Mo-,
bringing her little granddaughter.
Margaret, four years old. beauti-
full. joyous child. the light of the
grandparents home, daughter Of
their son, Dick. Friday about 1880
o'clock, Zach, the 7-year-old son of
their son. Ned, arrived there on a
visit with his mother. About an
hour later while playing soldier
he picked up single-barrel shot
gun and playfully pointed it at his
little cousin, Margaret. The gun,
which as usual was supposed not
to be loaded. was discharged, the
load entering her stomach, killing
her instantly. The grandmother
is seriously FRUSTRATED by the trag-
edy and in fact all the family can
hardly endure the shock.
The grandfather came here years
ago from East Tennessee, where
his relatives now live. He was a
brave Confederate soldier, and the
little fellow who did the shooting
had imbibed the soldier spirit and
bearing from his brave grandsire.
