IN ALPINE COUNTRY
NEW RAILROAD THROUGH BEAU
TIFUL DISTRICT.
Many Engineering Difficulties Over
come in Its OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
of Antiquity Scattered Every
where in Profusion.

A large part of the new Alpine rail-
way system projected by the Austrian
government in 1901 has just been com
pleted. Part of the system is still
under construction, but the greater
portion is 10Y fully completed, and az
4 consequence a new and very beauti
full mountain district has become ac-
cessible to the tourist. The through
journey from London to Trieste is also
materially shortened, so that the little
known Adriatic is brought very much
nearer to London.
The new line runs through a III
cessiOn of picturesque valleys and
gavines in southern Austria which I'M

vote a great deal of time and energy

tunnel. The capitol of Tyrol is reached
in % hours from London, and after de-
voting a day or so to the marvellous

Franzenfeste and Villach, where the
new Alpine railway begins.
-Villach is q busy station
overlooking the town and river and
surrounding summer resorts; the
springs were famous eve in Roman
times.
From Villach the new line passes
through Veldes on the edge of a minia-
ture lake of Como, with a wishing
belfry prettily situated on an islet in
the center.
Through a Strange Country.
The line has been engineered
through a limestone country of un-
usual interest to the %geologist. Rivers
which cut the strangest of beds have
been spanned by some of the biggest
masonry-arched bridges in the world.
Finally the railway descends by a long
sweeping curve to the blue Adriatic.

The whole of this coast is one long

The wholesale fuel men say that CON

At the mine the coal sells for S2,25 a

STORM WATER CAUSES
MORE ACTIVE DISCUSSION
Enqineer T. D. Aflin Suggests Plan to
Prevent Damage to Property

Report

Phones: Sunset 1907. Home 2lz4-

PASADENA. Aug. 9.-At a special
meeting of the North Pasadena I'm
provement association held tonight the
subject of storm water drains was up for
lively discussion. 1t was reported that
the committee appointed to visit H. E.
Huntington would report on the attitude
of the magnate on local affairs con-
nected with the proposed Lincoln avenue
car line.
But the committee has not yet seen
Huntington. The committee appointed
to confer with Mr.. King in regard to
the proposed new trolley road via Eagle
Rock to North Pasadena reports through
its chairman. F. r. Schank. He saw
Mr.. James. attorney for King, but could
get no proposition from him till 1t was
finally decided what Huntington would
do.
Chief among the topics for considera-
tion was that in regard to taking care
of the storm water from streets being
graded and improved.
T. D. Allin was appointed with the
city engineer TO go over the ground and
make approximate estimate of the cost
of improvements.
Allin has solved the problem troubling
the residents in the section where IT
seemed the street improvements now
being made would cause the flow of
storm water to damage private property
He proposes that the grading and paving
be so done that the storm water will
cross in several different places as here
tofore and this distribution of the water
will prevent, damage being done by it
more than at present
Allin is still engaged in making out
his report upon the cost of conduit.
Detail work on this is tedious, and it
will be some weeks before this report is
ready to be submitted to the council.
According to the suggestion of Allin,
the grading on Dacota and other lateral
streets may be continued without harm
to property owners. At some future
time when the money has been pro-
vided a large conduit may be built and
the water concentrated to 1t.

Health officer l.. M. Powers has been
receiving repeated complaints concerning
peculiar substances found in the drink

Some persons have tied rags to their
faucets so as to collect the stuff which
looks like sediment but seems to be alive
with germs.
DIR. Powers says the dark stuff is algae,
or vegetable water growth! 1t dies every
four months. When it dies a gas is
generated. This in turn makes the sub
stance rise to the surface. Thus it is
conveyed through the mains. The an
imalculae are also harmless.
When the city has sufficient funds to
cover its reservoirs this algae will dis
appear, as the sun promotes Its growth
