When the cap is removed from one of
these vents, the air rushes up like a
young cyclone, with force sufficient to
hold up a heavy board. and the spray
is dashed high in the air, like a minia-
ture Niagara.
The stairway conduit is regarded by
engineers as a'superior piece of work
Reservoir Renovated.
The reservoir at .that point recently
has been raised several feet, thoroughly
cleaned and put in first-Class condition.
It's base is a sheer rock wall, rising di-
rectly in the middle of the canyon, as
though defying the powers of air and
water To break il down.
II was at first intended to turn the
water into the conduit yesterday, but
circumstances made it necessary 10 do
this at an earlier date, so that on last
Tuesday Assistant City EngineeS Chan
cy turned the gate which let i'm the
waters. A volume amounting to 25,-
600 gallons per day, within 1000. 900
gallons of the full capacity of the con-
duit, was turned in~at the start. From
that time until now the water has been
running constantly through il. with
not a drop OF leakage thus establish
ing the strength of its construction and
the wisdom of its design.
With few changes, the conduit was
built according to the plans of George
NJ. Bacon, Who suggested the abandon
ment of the cylindrical form for
straight side walls and a slightly con-
cave bottom. The concrete is rein
forced with twisted steel bars. The
saving in the design of Mr.. Bacon was
fully 100000 over the cylindrical form.
TO Mr.. Bacon, who was assistant city
engineer under the Morris administra-
ton. is therefore due large share Of
the credit Of this work.

Engineering Marvel.
The final portions of the work on the
conduit were the completion of the dam
and intake i'll Big Cottonwood canyon
and Of the 1S0-fOot drop from the bench
TO the point of exit into the Parley's
canyon reservoir. Both are regard as
remarkable pieces of engineering and
construction.
The dam creates a reservoir a short
distance below the power plant of the
Utah Power company. and is reinforced
concrete construction. 1t is divided by
gates so that the flow may be divided
among the owners of the rights i'm ex-
act proportion. SO that there can be no
chance for dispute or litigation. The
city's portion. fourteen thirtieths of the
entire flow of the stream, is diverted
through a weir into the mouth of the
conduit. The mouth of the conduit is
covered by a concrete structure. and
everything about the dam is of the
same permanent construction An iron
tube extending from the top of the dam
into the house has at its end a glass
tube that shows the exact height of
the water running over the dam at all
times, thus avoiding the necessity of
measurements at stated periods to as
certain the relative flow This removes
another source OF dispute and annoy
ance
The conduit and its construction are
described in the paper read by City
Engineer Kelsey. from a technical and
practical standpoint. and need no repe-
tition.
The conduit runs to a point $50 feet
above the Parley's canyon reservoir,
and to reduce the force of the fall it
became necessary to complete the con-
duit i'm a sort of stairway, each fall
checking the force to q degree that al
lows the water to flow upward into the
reservoir without damage TO the walls.
The water comes rushing and roaring
through this enclosed stairway, which
has air vents at each successive step.

Speech by a Farmer.

James Mcdonald. a sturdy Scotch
farmer OF the vicinity who had given
valuable assistance in the past TO the
cit. officials in their work of prepara-
ton for taking i'm the water OF Big Cot
tonwood. made the hit of the day in q
spirited speech. delivering the keynote
quoted ut the beginning of this article.
He regarded this as the greatest step
ever taken for the building up of Salt
Lake City and county. without which
the city would not now be on the high
road 10 prosperity. with skyscrapers
rearing their heads as though to vie
with the vast peaks Of the WaSatch
range. and everybody confident of the
coming prosperity, Mr. McDonald's

spirit OF the occasion.
Charles A. Quigley spoke next for the
speech he suggested that the mayor set
holiday. to be observed i'm celebration

visit the spot.

speech. in which he said there should
be no partisanship i'm the celebration Of
this browning event of the city's his
tory.
George NJ Bacon the engineer who
drew the final plans for the conduit and
superintended in part its construction,

First Move is Made.
In 1905 efforts were made by the en-
SlneerInS department TO get the people
10 realize the need of this water, but
nothing was done till January, 1903,
when the bond issue was voted. Plans
ana surveys We're made: every one was
anxious to have the work well done:
men worked to jolly up the farmers TO
get them i'm humor 10 trade. I must
say that the farmers on this creek did
not jolly easy, and they made rather a
hard bargain for the REIMBURSEMENT of
their rights. But every man is bound
To protect his own interest
For the construction of this work
there were just six bids submitted. OF
the six one was informal. The bids
submitted for that part of the work
from the bank of Big Cottonwood to
the bank of PaTley's canyon ranged
from $342, $50 TO $685. the bid Of p. j.

gineer to have finished this great work.
| feel gratified. gentlemen, that the
suggestions that / made for the better

that what they usually need is
busting and sweeping, when any
one is@to be incarcerated. The
bedding also, must be aired and
busted.
What we are needing in the
western counties is a law that
will permit punching the persons
under Jail sentence from several
counties, preferably in the
same judicial district so as to
work them profitably. AS it is
now it costs more to watch oneo
two or three prisoners than their
work is worth.
rs this criticism of the county
jails of Kansas merited. Is the
Wilson county Jail an example?
If so whose fault is it, Can it be
believed that the alleged abuses
will contune if generally known?
If they are not known, why not?
The state law on county jails pro-
vides positively and clearly that
the Judge of the district court
and the county attorney of the
county shall each visit the
county Jail once during each
term of the district court, and
after such visit shall report in
writing to the board of county
commissioners the condition of
the Jail whether it is safe, secure
and sanitary, and shall suggest
what Improvements should be
made. This law, if obeyed,
means that in each county of the
state the board is informed in
writing of the condition of the
Jail, two or three times eachyear
These reports are, open to the
press. Why, then should condi-
tions be most deplorable?"-

Marysville Advocate Democrat:
If there is. anything lower in the
scale of humanity than the man
who is cowrdly enought to poison
an inoffensive dog we donot know
it and the report which comes to
us of numerous cases of that
sort here bespeaks a strain of
brutality and human callousness
which merits the severest con-
domination. OF all animals, the
dog is mans best friend. Never
has a man fallen so low as not to
be an object of veneration to his
dog, and never has he been so
poor that his dog was not happy
in sharing his poverty. Every
dog is an especial favorite of
some child. Even the nondes-
cript cur which sneaks along as if
he was aware of his own short
comings is the means of bringing
happiness to some home and the
human monStroSity who would
be sneak enough to poison such an
animal out of mere diStaSt of dogs
in general is a curse to the
community in which he lives
If dogs are vicious, are a public
nuisance, or are menace to
health, there are simple and eff
fective remedies provided by law
for their removal, but in using
poison, both innocent and guilty
are in danger.
