becomes available but authorized the
governor to assent until the legisla-
ture should convene, did he see so
fit. By the terms of the Adams act,
an appropriation amounting to $4,000
and increasing gradually each year
is available for the use of the expert
ment station until the amount totals
$4,000. The bill introduced by Mr..

Only One Mans Life Sacrificed In
Great Undertaking, Which Was
Carried Out in Record i
Breaking Time

1t fell to the lot of the graveyard
shift" of the outfalI sewer workers to
bore the last stretch of the big job.
This shift is on duty from IL p. m. to
a. m.
Through a space hardly large enough
to shake hands the tunnelers and City
Engineer Homer Hamlin yesterday
bridged the space with hearty hand
grasps, sent up cheers and snapped
tobacco. They were Jubilant at the
successful ending of their remarkable
task.
Flashlight photographs were taken
as mementoes.
By means of plumb bobs dropped into
the shafts the engineers long ago
reached true lines for working levels
and no one had any doubt but that the
opposing gangs of miners would meet
at the estimated time The only diff
ficulty was the treacherous character
of the soil, gravel and sand which they
were penetrating. The premature
movement of breastboard would in
variably displace barrels of loose ma
teriaI or send a watery mixture drip
ping into the tunnel workings.
Steel plates reinforced the advancing
shield and every factor of safety was
introduced by the skilled tunnelers in
advancing toward each other in the
depths.
Built to Last
It will be some weeks before the
brick gangs get as far as the meeting
place of the tunnelers, as they are
working with great care.
Every brick is separately inspected,
each sack of mortar and cement is
tested and the sand used is the best of
the underground deposits Scooped out
in the excavations under the wet Sec
ton of the big more near Inglewood.
Engineer Hamlin intends the sewer
to stand for many years.
1t has been determined to hold BAN
quet Monday night at Levys, the
guests being the engineers actively
connected with the work. Chief Time
keeper j. Ryan will probably be toast
master and the guest of honor will be
Engineer Hamlin.
Ready by December
Chief Engineer Hamlin said yester-
day.;
''I am indeed glad that our plans
turned out so successfully, and while 1
will not say that the sewer will be
ready November l., as some of our
force seem to think, I believe that by
December l everything will be ready.
That is safe prediction.
I'VE have been very fortunate in that
only one man was killed during the
work. He fell into a shaft and 1t was
unavoidable. No one was hurt In the
workings except a bruise inflicted here
or there and sprain.
1--WE believe every bit Of work done
was done accurately and the best way.
Every bit of material was inspected.
There are no leaks and cracks and
as soon as the wells are closed the in
terror of the sewer will be practically
dry"

SITS UP IN HIS COFFIN
AND ASKS FOR A DRINK
snecial to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LANDER, Wyo., August 3.-Edward
Beck, a wyoming sheep herder, sat up
in his coffin and called for drink of
whisky thirty-six hours after what was
believed to have been his death and just
as his futeral was about to be held.
No doctor examined Beck's body after
his supposed death, but friends who ex-
amined it saw no signs of life, and, be-
leving he was dead, made crude cof-
fin, put the remains in it and arranged
to bury them.
His supposed death occurred on the
range, where he was herding sheep,
and the funeral was to be held at a
sheep camp. A number of men who
knew Beck were gathered about the
coffin and one of them was about to
read passage from the scriptures, when
Beck sat up and called for drink. He
said he had not felt sick before losing
consciousness, and save a slight dizzi-
ness, felt no i'll effets from his death
like sleep. He got the whisky.

JAIL NO LONGER
HAVEN OF REST
Vermont Deputy Sheriff with Gun
Makes Tramps Chop Wood for
Ten Hours Every
Day

Special to The Herald.
BRATTIEBoRO VT, Aug. 3,-An
act of the recent legislature has carried
CONSERVATION through the ranks of the
famous Vermont division of the veterans
of Coxey's army
The first section of the act provides
that any prisoner in the jail at Newfane
may be compelled to work ten hours each
working day either in the Jail or outside
Formerly the Jail was haven of rest.
There were all the luxuries that a
tramps heart could desire-a warm bed
plenty to eat and nothing to do but play
cards the livelong day. Now all is diff
ferent.
Sheriff Thompson took prompt advan-
tage of the opportunity offered hira under
the law and set his wards to work, even
though they complained bitterly.
For the last several weeks the prisoners
have been obliged to arise from their
beds at dawn and work through the
weary day cutting wool.
Sheriff Thompson ASeated deputy out
of a farmer with laNe amount of wood
to cut, and every day. when the weather
is not too stormy, the jailbirds swing
axes as Justify as the cold compels them
to do to keep warm.
The deputy sheriff carries a long-bar-
relied shotgun and keeps the tramps
hustling.
Many of the tramps have developed
blisters under the unaccustomed use of
the ak.
This spring the tramps Iiill be put to
work on the roads which will be built
with the appropriation which was made
by the last legislature.
If this news gets to the ears of the
National Brotherhood, Sons of Rest,
probably they will prefer to spend the
summer at Newport, r. l., rather than
in the rocls-ribbed state of Vermont.
All officers have been instructed to-
make as many arrests as possible under
the law, in order that the Chain gang"
may be increased to as many as possible.
