Los Angeles Calf, is preparing to have
one Of the greatest water supplies in the
world. Owing to the rapidly-increasing
population of the city it has been found
necessary to seek a new source of supply
and this will be obtained from the Owens
river valley. The water will be conveyed
by conduit a distance of 226 miles, which,
with one exception, is the longest sys-
TEN OF this character in the world. This
single instance is to be found in Aus
tralia, where a much smaller supply is
carried a longer distance. The only
operation approaching the Los Angeles
project in size is that being constructed
for the city Of New York, the daily ca
pacity of which is slightly greater, but
the cost of which will be very much more.
The daily delivery OF the Los Angeles
plant will be 400 OOO,OO gallons and the
cost is estimated at S25,000,0 900. That OF
the New York system will be 100000
900 gallons and the cost 1852 900, 900. The
Pacific coast scheme will necessitate the
construction of IS miles of tunnels, five Of
which will be through solid rock under a
mountain. 1t will require five years to
complete it. 1t is proposed to make use
of the fall of the water to generate cleo
tricity for lighting and other purposes.

PROFITABLE DAIRYING.

The Vermont Farm Machine company
of Bellows Falls, Vermont, will shortly
issue another edition of its very interest
ing booklet, How One Farmer Made
SS32.5O Clear Profit from Seven Cows in
One Year" The first issue of $4,000 is
entirely exhausted, and a second edition
of 100000 is in course of preparation. The
object of this little book is to relate the
unusually successful experience of Mr..
S. w. Coleman, of Sedalia, Mo, with
seven cows on ten acre farm. Mr.. Cole
man says:
Il use a No. G u. S. Separator, and will
say right here, in my judgment, it is the
Grandest Separator in use 1t is easily
operated, both by hand or the engine and
If the engine should stop we can take hold
If the crank, and finish skimming without
stopping. And again, we don't have oil
all over the house as l have seen from
other makes-everything is as clean
around the machine, as though there had
never been any milk or oil about.
My total receipts for one year
were, 1,651 so
The expense of feeding my
stock was, 819 90
Which leaves a prift of 1892 50
Mr.. Coleman has taken the First Butter
Premium at his state fair five times in
six years, with scores averaging 1914 to
9712.
The Vermont Farm Machine Company
will cheerfully send the booklet to any
person who write them about it.

Three Ghosts.

The ghost of what was, doth stand
Far off, in a forsaken land;
Wide swing the doors OF empty halls,
Where but her soundless footstep falls;
Fair ashen wraiths bloom over there,
In the still light and breathess air;
So sad her smile, so cold her cheer,
weep, she once was close and dear.
The ghost of what I thought to be
Waits for me in the wind and sea
Out of cloud her beauty CLEANS
A long forgotten face of dreams.
She waves the sacred trysting sign;
She sings-and oh, the songs were mine!
She seems to wear the crown I wove
In youth;-she was my youths first love.
The ghost OF what am, more strange
And sad, abides from change to change;
Unreal as these, she haunts me still
Companion of my fate, not will;
With brow defeated, wan, perplext,
AS one that scans a battling text,
When from her dim and awful shook,
Toward Tightening heaven she lifts her
look
thrill-it seems a sad souls face,
From the hre-prison, prays for grace;
And close by that same flash l see
My angel Of the life to be.

Y. NJ. c. A. ANNIVERSARY.
Words Of Commentator from Gov. Proc
tor and Henry Bond Of Greenfield in
Meeting Sunday Evening.

Gov Fletcher D. Proctor and Henry
Bond of Greenfield brought a hearty mes
sage of commentator for the Young
Mems Christian associate and it's work
in the oath anniversary meeting held in
the Baptist church Sunday night. The
church was hardly large enough to seat
all who attended and the celebration was
one of the most satisfactory from all
standpoints that has been held in recent
years. Besides the two principal speak
ers, prominent men of the town who are
connected with the association took part
i'm the service and the choirs of the
various churches united in enc chorus
under the leadership of Arthur L. May
nard.
E. c. Crosby, president Of the asso-
citation, presided. After the organ pre-
lude and hymn by the congregation the
responsive reading was led by Judge
Ernest W. Gibson, one of the newly
elected directors OF the association. The
chorus sang an anthem, They that
trust in the Lord" after which the
scripture lesson was read by Col. Kttredge
Haskins and prayer was offered by l.. w.
Hawley Fred c. Adams sang solo,
1.-THE Lord is my Light" and after an
other hymn by the congregation, Gov
Proctor was introduced as the first
speaker of the evening.
The speakers were presented by At
tOrney General Clarke c. Fits, director
of the association. In introducing GOV.
Proctor he spoke of the need of men with
high ideals in politics and of the good
fortune of the state in having such a
man at the helm. Gov. Proctor spoke in
general of the Y. NJ. c. A. work in the
state, paying a high tribute to its effi-
cheney and to the men who are actively
connected with it. He spoke especially
of the need of the associations work
in the large number of towns which
went no-lcense at the last election.
The general sentiment in these towns is
on the side of decency and law and order
and the association can do much and is
doing much, to promote good citizenship
| and TO provide entertainment for young
| men in their leisure time. In regard to
the social work, Gov. Proctor laid con-
/ siderable stress on the social affairs
being after working hours He spoke OF
the poor equipment of the associations In
the way of buildings. especially for gym
nasium work, indicating the great OPP
portunity for development along these
lines. The difference in the work OF the
association from the work of the church
and from the work of the state was
clearly shown in the address, as well as
their relation and inter- dependence.

brandon Union.l

The New Vermont as pictured by
our superintendent Of education, Mason
$ Stone, and Frank l.. Greene, editor Of
the st. Adams Messenger is a condition
and it may truly be said to be an ideal
condition into which Vermont is slowly
drifting with the current The object of
these talks is to enthuse the people until
they shall seize the oars and by pulling
all together hasten the day when we
shall more fully realize something
Of the benefits which must come with
the New Vermont" Vermont should
have done with drifting. No mater
that we are drifting in the right direction
if we are content with drifting we shall
certainly drift in the tail of the pro-
cession. Because the people of other
states are concentrating their strength
and are pulling aid, the people that are
content to drift will always remain in
the rear. Vermont was once second
among the states of this Union in it's
per cent. of educated people; that is peo-
pie who could read and write. Today
Vermont is both among the states of
the Union. This does not necessarily de-
note that Vermont has degenerated in
educational matters, but it does mean
that Vermont has been drifting. 1t
| means that while we have been content
to be carried along by the current
other states are pulling with a purpose
and all together. What Vermont needs
| is to take pull at the oars.

This Silver Lead ore Proposition Is Al
ready a Producer.
In another column of this paper infor-
nation is conveyed to the reader of the
Silgalena Mines which are located at
White Pine, Gunnison county Colorado.
There are five patent silver leads pro-
ducing claims owned by the Silgalena
Mining company and a part of last year
these claims produced over $4,000 worth
of silver lead ore. The company, under
the personal direction of Mr. Stewart Mil
Ter, the president, is exerting every effort
in developing these properties and Mr..
Miller predicts that shares in this COM
pany within a year will have an intrinsic
vale of 81 per share and will be paying
corresponding dividends to stockholders.
1t is rarely that stock of so promising
a nature is offered to the public at so low
a figure as 25 cents a share and there Is
every reason for believing that this is
one of the best mining stocks that can
now be purchased.

next moved on to Plttsburg and landed Rarger. In exchange for Kargcr he gave Mcfarland, who was released by Pittsburg. McCloskey landed an ex- cellent twirler, gave away a man who Is not of major league calIber and came out far ahead.
 He next stacked up against Chicago He gave Pitcher Jack Taylor. who has always been a hard man to handle, in exchange for Pitcher Beebe and First Baseman Noonan and large bunch of cash as bonus.
 Taylor is great pitcher, one of the best in the country. while Beebe Is. only a youngster. But this youngster has more than made good. He has won enough games this year to place him in the list of the five leading pitchers of the National league. Hoonan Is q fair ball player. McCloskey, on the work of the men since this trade, far out. generated Chance.
 McGraw of the champion New York Giants was his next victim. The all wise John J. fell for a trade which is still q sensation. He sent Outfielder Mertes and Catcher Marshall and q large check 10 St. Louis in exchange for shannon, who was never a star.
 Mertes has showed up better fin every department than shannon. Marshall Is one of the best catchers in the business, and as pinch hitter he has few equals. He can also play good game in the outfield or on first base.
 McClosley has released Mcbride, bis great fielding sbortstop, on account Of weak hitting and has taken young ster from Texas, Crawford by name, to fill the place. Crawford was the star of the first game he played, and, while he cannot be expected to keep up the pace he set there, he Is looked upon as q comer by McCloskey. He has broken in a pitcher. Hostetter, as utility man. and in this role the play CT Is equal to any h ths big leagues.
 He nalled down Bennett, from ths coast and a former Southern Ieaguo star, ss secoad baseman. Bennett Ia one Of the most reliable men in tho ieague and has fulfilled expectations In every way.

MUskey 4 Baseball D. Napoleon St Loai, National Man ager 0s q Trader
 T. q Wonder. Ony One Player of Original Team Nop on Regp-
 lar Payroll.

As trader in that greatest commod- ity, flesh and blood patterned into a baseball player. all must take of their chapeaux to John J. McCloskey of the St. Louis Cardinal (National leaguel team.
 This man went to St Louis late Tn the winter. after all the other teams of the two big leagues had their pick of the talent from the minor leagues and after all apparent profitable trades had been completed.
 When everything appeared as though Stanley Robson would have to man. age the team himself McCloskey ac- cepted his terms and reported ready for work. A little heart to heart taIk with the owners of the club resulted in a perfect understanding. and the new manager started to make himself familiar with the conditions which kept St. Louis tail end proposition for such a long time.
 Today there remains on the regular payroll but one of the old team-Mike Grady, a catcher. The others are any where and everywhere, but McCloskey has a harmonious group of baseball players who are taking the best care of themselves.
 This he has accomplished in the mid de of the season. It Is a feat never even attempted by any other manager. While the Cardinals have not held a high position In the race, they look far stronger than when the season opened, and this from the standpoint of team work and inside baseball.
 McCloskey's first trade was to get rid of Jimmy Burke. The turbulent one was shipped to Kansas City as & ter rible example.
 Then he got a sterling young left handler, Druhot, from Cincinnati. He

T. F.

On account of the dilapidated condition in which the city pest house is, it was decided that placing him in the house near the city barn was the wisest course.
