Beginning toward night on Wednesday
the experiment was made of washing the
sand and gravel Off the upper surface of
the clay for considerable distance leay-
Ing a wide shelf Of the clay exposed At

charges of gunpowder to loosen and
break up the clay and thus expose it
more quickly to the action of the water.

been ordered and will be installed upon
the crib to be used in pumping out the
cofferdam when that is completed and
construction work on the dam itself be-
gins. The present pump is employed on
the south slope of the bank. The water
pumped from the cofferdam by the second
machine will be utilized in washing away
the northern slope, the sand. gravel and

river above the crib and when that Is re-

on the cofferdam, shown in our illustra-
ton, the stream from the big steam
pump is cutting away the face of the high
bank at a tremendous rate, the little To-
comotives are putting away on either side
while on top the horse railroad, with it's
train of dump cars, is working with no
less efficiency. Six steam drills are cut
ting into the big ledge with a noisy clat-
ter, as though 1t was their play day, and
the steam saw mill is converting the logs
into lumber as fast as they can be drawn
out of the river
The fascinating part of the work is
that done by the hydraulic stream from
the big steam pump which has a 5O-horse
power boiler for motive power. The
pump has an eight-inch suction and a
six inch discharge pipe, the water from
which is delivered against the bank
through a two-inch nozzle. The pressure
is about 400 pounds per square inch. The
bank is composed of several strata Of
sand and gravel, which are superimposed
upon a bank Of clay about 20 >feet in
thickness. The sand and gravel melt
great masses at the touch or the power

flows back into the river it makes cur
rent of mud as large as the average sum-
mer pitch of water in Milestone brook.
With the clay it is a different proposition.
The stream of water is played against
its lower edge until deep excavation Is
made, when the clay breaks off in large

Within the past six days about 5000
cubic yards have been taken out of the
bank with the steam pump at a cost OF
against a cost of q or 2S cents had the
usual method of removal by hand or
steam power been employed. 1t is esti-
mated that two such pumps would wash
away the whole bank in three months
time.
The planking has already been placed
for a considerable distance on the first
section Of the crib or cofferdam and this
work is being pushed as fast as the lum-
Der can be secured. On this section OF
the crib a trestle is being built on which
will be laid a track for the cars which
will carry the concrete from the mixers
and dump it into its place on the dam
The work OF assembling, mixing, deliv-
ering and placing the concrete will be a
very interesting piece Of labor saving en-

A Unique Savings Bank

The Bradford Opinion believes that
the unique position of the Hyde Park
Savings Bank, i'll investing all its funds
in Vermont, promotes safety. 1t says;
The Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Co. holds a somewhat unique po-
sition in Vermont banking circles. Its
slogan is Vermont money for the up
building of Vermont industries. The
principle is carried out so thoroughly
that every cent of the banks funds is in
vested in Vermont, and the bank mas
never lost a dollar on a poor note fol-
lowing this policy. This is one answer
to the cry that there is no chance to in
vest money at home.
The banks policy has been for safe
investment rather than for high rate
of interest and on the elevnth of
July the assets of the bank passed the
million dollar mark. Neither the policy
nor the success of tine bank is so strange
when we know that Hon. Carroll S. Page
of calfsiin fame, is the banks president
This bank pays per cent. compound,
ed semi-annually on deposits of 500 or
more.

The power house will be an immense
structure. 1t will be $50 feet hong, form

level of the river. it will have total
height of so feet. The visitor to the site
of the dam gets his first accurate con-
ception Of what the uam really will be
like when he is told that when
fully completed it will rise 2Sk
feet above the present pitch of water in
the river while the spillway will extend
300 feet over on the New Hampshire
shore where the high bank now stands.
The grading for the spur track from
the Central Vermont railroad has been
substantially completed except for the
short section Of about 200 feet across the
land of d. Z. Prescott. The company
has been unable to make any satisfactory
arrangement with Mr. Prescott and the
courts commission. consisting OF c. II.
Williams OF Bellows Falls, A. A. Dunklee
of Vernon and John j. Eckels of Brattle-
boro. will meet next Tuesday to make
the appraisal and condemn the right of
way. 1t is hoped that the road can be
completed and the track laid in the
course OF the week following
Considerable delay has been caused by
the difficulty in securing lumber. 1t will
require a million feet of logs for the
cofferdam and no logs are to be had eX-
cept those which are cut on the COM
pany's farm properties which 1t has ac-
quired in the vicinity of the dam.

each operation. Another carrier will
bring and dump in half cubic yard of
sand, and cable carrier running across
the river to tine cement house will bring
over and dump in the proper amount of
cement. From the mixers the concrete
will be delivered to the carrier cars which
will run upon the. track on the trestle of
the crib, as already described. When in
full operation 300 cubic yards of the con-
crete can be mixed and placed each work
ing day
. If present favorable conditions continue
the contractors will begin to lay the con-
crete during the early part of October.
When freezing weather comes the ma
terials for the concrete will be heated and
it will be laid while hot so that the work
can be continued during the winter with
out interruption. The mass of this hot
material will be so large and will cool so
slowly that it will dry out while cooling
and there will be no injury from the frost.
If the pitch of water is favorable and
there Is no unforeseen delay, IL is hoped to
have the whole concrete work on the dam
finished as high as the average pitch of
water by the first Of January and to have
this work done and the power house built

Whittier are We Drifting?

1t is hard for the human mind to
grasp the idea of a million dollars,
or what it means, but when the
mind is tasked to comprehend
what a billion dollars means it is
too severe task to attempt.
Everything is relative. To illus
trate, the Russian parliament
placed the total expenditures of the
imperial government for 1906 at
nearly 800 millions, this is less
than three millions more than was
appropriated by the last short ses-
sion of congress. This Russian
expense looks large, but not so
much when it is contrasted with
that of the United States. Our
national appropr iations this year
are o20 millions, but our population
is only about one-half that of Rus
sic, our army is not one-tenth the
size of the Russian army, our con-
dition is one of profound peace,
while Russian expenditures are
swollen by the need of holding NIL
lions of rebellious subjects in SUBJ
lection and overawing revolution.
The extravaganza of a republic is
greater, in proportion of population,
in the midst of peace and prosper
ity than the requirements o. an au'
tocratic empire with a vast army
and enormous expenditures to sup
press revolt and relieve famine
These are serious questions anc

through long periods such social
evils as food and drug adulteration
and child labor. In the early Eng

not only impossible to arouse the

clergy, who should presumably
have led any such social readjust-
